Chapter 372: Failure.

Several alchemical lightning bolts tore through the pitch-black sky, momentarily dispelling the oppressive aura hanging over the arena. The two guild presidents ignited their furnaces, one after the other.
A faint fluorescence emerged on the milky-white surface of the pill.
The scorching gaze of the whole audience was instantly drawn to these two pills. Judging from their appearance alone, these two pills were both rare and top-quality.
Both individuals nodded in satisfaction with the pills they had refined this time. When handing the pills to the testers, the two presidents keenly sensed a somewhat complicated emotion from each other. However, they did not dwell on it and instead...
And with a comforting pat on the other person's arm, Ares said, "Calm down, there's nothing to worry about." Danes who take herbal medicine often have a tendency to overthink things. They've seen it all before.

“是。”双手接过装着丹药的玉盒, 两人盯着丹药好一会儿，然后不约而同地望向云苔。
看得云苔一脸地莫名其妙。你们倒是吃呀！看她干嘛？
Once again, almost simultaneously, they averted their gaze and closed their eyes. Taking a deep breath, they swallowed a pill and then sat cross-legged in place.
This expression made Yuntai feel a sense of selflessness no matter how she looked at it. However, she then realized that for cultivators, every breakthrough in rank carried risks. The higher the rank, the greater the risk. So, it seemed understandable for them to have such expressions. But when she thought about the success rate of breaking through with the help of the barrier-breaking pill... their expressions became a bit bothersome! These barrier-breaking pills were personally refined by the two guild leaders! Considering their status and position, please... Translate the above content into English while keeping all @ matches.

They started alchemy, but is money not enough for them already?! And they dare to hesitate!
If the two guild leaders originally ignored the strange atmosphere on the arena, the glance of the two test subjects made them feel the subtlety of the atmosphere on the field.
In the center of the arena, the thick protective shield surrounds a chaotic mess. Within the shield, Yuntai clutches the Spirit Stone tightly in her hands, with a face displaying exhaustion that is a mixture of boredom and excessive nervousness. She looks around anxiously, clearly hesitating on whether to leave the arena directly.
Still stay in the field or leave?
"Yuntai Pharmacist, where is your healer?" Sig asked curiously.
"The treatment is finished, they left the field." Yuntai answered.
“治疗结束？”不是失败？！西格和亚里思同时捕捉到了云苔话中的关键字。从对方眼中的看到了自己惊诧的表情。
“是啊。那个，我是不是也可以离场了？”云苔问道。
这里可是别人的地盘，云苔心里不踏实啊！有道是双拳难敌四手，好汉架不住人多。这不能吃不能喝的药师大赛第一名与自己的性命相比，真的没有可比性
But, it's almost over, and if leaving without permission is considered forfeiting, Yun Tai is slightly unwilling.
@"Has he really successfully advanced?" Yariss asked again in disbelief.
To be honest, the reason why both presidents recommended the final of the Cloud Moss Direct Pharmacist Competition without hesitation is mainly because Yu Lan Pharmacist Guild has achieved remarkable success with the help of alchemists in recent years, which has attracted attention. In particular, President Xi Chen's promotion in pharmaceutical strength further proves this point. They have known each other for decades, so naturally they will give face given the achievements. They are also curious about what Xi Chen has achieved in the field of alchemy.
Why do they attach such importance to Yun tai, this suddenly emerged young pharmacist? But that's about it.
But now they realize that they may have made a huge mistake.
"Yes," Yun tai nodded.
"With the medical skills you mentioned? Without taking any elixirs?" Seig took two steps closer to Yuntai.
"Uh!" Yuntai felt uneasy. This was someone else's territory! If he couldn't explain well, it would be like offering himself up for death!
"He is using medication! Of course, he needs to use medication. It's impossible for him to recover and advance without medication considering the severity of his injury, right? It's just that...the way of taking medication is slightly different from traditional herbal medicine. I use medication as well.
方式更为直接，自然药效也更为猛烈，不如传统方式那般平和。”
“节省药材。挺好。”曦尘会长的声音突然在云苔的耳畔响起，吓了她一跳。
This has nothing to do with saving medicinal herbs at all! It seems that Elder Xichen is joking.
Yun Tai doesn't even know that Elder Xichen could be so lively.
Of course, this is just a saying. Everyone can tell that Elder Xichen is making a statement, showing his full support for Yun Tai.
At that moment, the faces of many people turned ugly. Before Xi Chen advanced to the eighth rank pharmacist, everyone was a seventh rank pharmacist. Even if there were differences in alchemy skills, it would still be within the same level. Therefore, all major affairs of the Pharmacist Guild were basically decided through voting by the Elder Council. As a result, compared to the Radiant Temple, the Pharmacist Guild was much looser in terms of constraints. However, since Xi Chen advanced to the eighth rank pharmacist, this balance that had been maintained for over a hundred years is bound to...
Will be broken. This has become the consensus of everyone by default.
所以，这话普通人没有资格接，而有资格的人却要考虑这背后的利益得失，不会轻易开口。
砰一声响，瞳坚秉轻轻吐了一口气。失败了啊！现在能够凑出一张丹方的珍品药材已经越来越困难了，因此在他们这些高级药师看来，这样的开炉炼丹的机
会那是炼一次少一次。
"I'm sorry to have disappointed you."
"Don't worry, adults, everyone knows that it's difficult to refine a seventh-grade pill." The designated tester, Jing Jianbing, quickly comforted.
There was a hint of excitement in the tone of the other party, which made her feel a bit regretful and disappointed. It must be just an illusion!
The attention of the entire audience quickly shifted back. Well, it's normal for the pharmacist to fail in alchemy. And the reason for the failure of the head of the Hitomi family is also clear. Everyone used the same prescription, with little difference.
The medicinal materials needed to refine the same elixir require similar external spiritual energy. There is only so much spiritual energy in this area, so if one wants to successfully refine the elixir, it's every person for themselves in competing for spiritual energy.
Even though they are both seventh-grade pharmacists, it seems that Chief Teng from the Tong family is still a step behind the two guild presidents in terms of alchemy skills.
However, before the two of them could leave the stage, the other four individuals in the arena, except for Yun Tai, sensed something unusual in the air currents surrounding them.
“What's going on?”
“Is this...going crazy?”
“How is this possible? This is the Breaking Barrier Pill! How could it fail after taking the Breaking Barrier Pill?!”
Many people on the sidelines also showed expressions of disbelief, standing up one after another, wanting to see more clearly in order to confirm that their previous feeling was wrong.
Both Siegfried and Alistair, the two presidents, took action at the same time.
