Ru Yan Wu Ji paused for a moment, calming the feelings of frustration and anger within her, and then declared loudly:
"This sovereign announces that Tan Yun has successfully refined the supreme sub-respect elixir, earning 800 points. The Huangfu Sacred Sect scored a total of 2460 points in the third round of the alchemical arts competition."
"Adding the scores from the previous two rounds, which were 5890 points, the total score for the Huangfu Sacred Sect is 8350 points."
"The divine soul celestial palace scored a total of 7700 points, ranking second!"
"The eternal immortal sect scored a total of 7460 points, ranking third."
Ru Yan Wu Ji naturally wouldn't mention that they came in last; that would sound too harsh, wouldn't it?
The announcement of the results ignited the passion of the danmai and herb garden disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect. They looked at Tan Yun on the high platform, their eyes filled with deep admiration!
They understood that the Huangfu Sacred Sect's victory in alchemical arts was entirely the result of Tan Yun's efforts!
"Tan Yun, you truly are the genius disciple of our Huangfu Sacred Sect!" Dantai Xuanzhong said with a smile, "Your contributions will be remembered by this sovereign. Not only will you receive heavy rewards upon returning to the sect, but this sovereign will also grant you a reward now!"
"Thank you, Sovereign!" Tan Yun deeply bowed, remaining humble and composed, "The danmai's victory is thanks to the wise leadership of the chief, it's an honor for everyone in the danmai. The achievements belong to all; without everyone, I alone could never have made the danmai claim victory."
Tan Yun expressed himself clearly, and the danmai disciples understood that he was sharing the credit with everyone and not trying to take it all for himself.
Everyone understood, and Dantai Xuanzhong naturally knew this as well. At this moment, he looked at Tan Yun with genuine fondness, "Well, all the danmai disciples and your chief Shen will receive rewards!"
"Thank you, Sovereign!" Shen Subing stood up from her seat and knelt before Dantai Xuanzhong.
"Thank you, Sovereign!" Luo Fan, Song Hong, and the other 50 danmai disciples who participated in the alchemical arts grand competition knelt excitedly.
"Everyone, please rise." After allowing everyone to stand, Dantai Xuanzhong looked at Tan Yun and smiled, "Tan Yun, what level have your alchemical arts reached?"
"Replying to the Sovereign, before joining the Sacred Sect, under the guidance of my master for more than ten years, I had already become a saint-level grand alchemist," Tan Yun said without hesitation.
"Later, after joining the sect for more than four years, I did not delve into alchemical arts, so I am still just a saint-level grand alchemist."
Hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong praised him profusely, "Indeed, a renowned teacher produces exceptional students! With your level in alchemical arts, you could already take on the role of an elder in the inner sect danmai. How about this sovereign bestows upon you the position of inner sect danmai chief elder?"
"In the future, you can teach alchemical arts to the disciples of our sect. The heavy responsibility of reviving our inner sect danmai lies on your shoulders. After all, Chief Shen has already advanced to a low-tier sovereign alchemist and will soon head to the Immortal Sect, taking on the role of elder in their danmai."
Upon hearing this, all the disciples and chiefs from the Huangfu Sacred Sect, including the Artifact, Talismans, and Alchemical arts lines, were utterly shocked!
No one had expected the sovereign to place such importance on Tan Yun, personally bestowing him the title of inner sect danmai chief!
At this moment, the most furious were Murong Shishi and the chiefs of the inner sect formation and talismans lines!
The three of them heard clearly that Tan Yun had already reached the level of a saint-level grand alchemist when he was still an outer sect disciple!
At this moment, the three were filled with regret, wishing they could turn back time to the day over two years ago when the nine great chiefs of the inner sect went to the outer sect to enroll disciples, taking in the unwanted Tan Yun!
