The Master Alchemist then lowered the speaking tablet and glanced at the other judges and said, "What are you doing now? Fix their tables."
The Senior Alchemists nodded with an absent-minded expression and immediately added a whole incense stick to each of the participants' tables.
After ensuring they finished their tasks, the Master Alchemists nodded and spoke into the speaking tablet.
"Now, don't hold back. Show your alchemy abilities. I officially announce that Round 2… begins."
The incense stick instantly roared with flames, awakening the participants from their stupor.
They immediately tried to empty their minds as they began their pill concoction.
Liu Wei, on the other hand, kept staring at the Judges' Pavillion—at the same time, he was facing the incense stick.
