Inside the core hall, countless disciples were crowded together, and many elders had also received the news, gathering in the hall.
"Ah, my question has been answered, it's been answered!"
Suddenly, a Refiner exclaimed with excitement, a hint of joy appearing on his face as his mental energy rapidly infused into his identity token.
"How is it? How is it?"
Beside him, many refiners anxiously watched and waited.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is! Haha, I understand, I understand! It turns out this combination itself is wrong; it's not about timing, but rather that a catalyst is missing. As long as a catalyst that can promote the reaction between the two materials is added, then..."
Moments later, the refiner's face rapidly turned flushed, murmuring to himself, becoming incredibly excited, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Although the refiner did not reveal whether the answer was right or wrong, everyone understood the outcome.
"Hu Chi, Hu Chi!"
Many people's expressions were tense as they constantly tried to push forward, eager to see if Qin Chen had answered their questions.
At the same time, more refiners surged toward the few remaining task submission areas to submit their tasks.
Previously, the task submission area was insignificant to them, but now, they were all tangled and in pain, as there were simply too many people wanting to apply for questions, and the task review needed a process. The number of refiners needing to submit tasks was simply not enough for them to use.
It was indeed because there were too many refiners wanting to answer questions. Even some elders secretly mixed into the crowd to quietly submit their answers.
Those refiners who had already released problems were anxious, scratching like a thousand claws in their hearts, feeling unbearably itchy. Their long observation had made it clear that the order of Qin Chen's answers was based on the amount of contribution points awarded, and they could not wait to see where their questions ranked.
"Are you done up there? Hurry up!"
"Hey, you’ve occupied a task submission area for a while now, are you done yet? How many tasks do you want to submit?"
The entire answer area was extremely noisy, with many people pushing and shoving, harboring dissatisfaction toward the refiners occupying several task submission areas. If it weren't for the fact that fighting among members was not allowed in the core hall, many refiners present would have likely been unable to restrain themselves from brawling.
"Whoosh!"
In the crowd, a refiner could no longer bear it, transforming into a fleeting shadow and quickly arriving at the service desk.
"Quick, add five thousand contribution points to my question, number 67329, hurry up!"
That refiner, with a flushed face, shouted at the managing staff of Tian Gong.
"84931, add eight thousand contribution points to my question, a total of eighteen thousand contribution points."
Another refiner also darted to the service desk, speaking urgently.
At first, everyone set their contribution points for submission tasks between three thousand to eight thousand after seeing Qin Chen choose answers in that range, but now, with more and more questions being submitted, even some elders’ high contribution point questions being resolved, these refiners went crazy.
Such opportunities were rare in thousands of years; compared to the enhancement of strength and cultivation, what were mere contribution points?
Especially for Mu Hong, who had been stuck as a low-grade Heavenly Level Refiner for thousands of years, he might directly leap to the mid-Heavenly Level realm because of Qin Chen's questions, making countless refiners unable to contain themselves.
Although contribution points were precious and scarce, they could still be earned through tasks and refining Holy Weapons. However, if the confusion that had plagued them for years could not be resolved today, it might continue to trouble them for countless years.
Thus, seeing the number of tasks rapidly increasing, many refiners temporarily raised the amount of contribution points they offered for their questions to ensure Qin Chen would answer them as soon as possible.
