If it is not of high-grade Wang-tier quality or better, there is simply no point in bringing it out. Because it would be impossible to advance. There were, however, some alchemists who had successfully refined top-grade Wang-tier pills. Their faces were full of joy as they waited for the judges from the Duan Clan to give their scores.
By the evening, more than two hundred alchemists had all finished their works, and it was time to announce the results. Duan Zhenghun, serving as the head judge, announced the scores himself. However, he only announced the list of those advancing. Whether one was on the list or not depended on one's own Creation.
The evaluations made by the Duan Clan's judges would undoubtedly have some unfair aspects. Although there were non-Duan Clan members among the judging panel, the Duan Clan members held the majority. The grades they gave were crucial. Two alchemists might both have refined top-grade Wang-tier pills, and both might have finished at about the same time. Determining who could advance and who could not was often difficult to judge. Since everyone had produced top-grade Wang-tier pills, the difference in the pills' effects was minimal. Whether one could advance largely depended on luck. If someone had a good relationship with the Duan Clan, their chances of advancing were much higher when the performance was similar.
