C118 (1/2)

Shang Yuxian and the other two talked with Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian for a while, then drank a few cups of wine before leaving the tavern.

Seeing the three of them disappear into the distance, Lin Qian asked Ye Xingchen in a low voice, ”Elder Brother Ye, what is the purpose of these three coming here?”

The three of them were obviously here for Ye Xingchen, it was simply not a coincidence.

”He's probably here to befriend us. After all, the Alchemist Association is also divided into factions.” Ye Xingchen's face revealed a smile, and said softly.

Ye Xingchen drank a few more cups of wine with Lin Qian before leaving the inn. Lin Qian returned to the Lin Family Palace to prepare for the competition tomorrow, and Ye Xingchen also returned to his Ye Family Manor to prepare for the competition tomorrow.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Qian came to the Ye Family Manor, and called Ye Xingchen to participate in the competition.

Today was the day of the Pill Refining Assembly's finals. When Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian arrived, the Alchemist Association's plaza was already packed full.

”There are so many people.” Lin Qian could not help but exclaim.

”Today is the day of the finals, of course there will be a lot of people. Let's go. Let's go.” Ye Xingchen glanced at Lin Qian and chuckled.

When Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian walked to the plaza, everyone stared at Ye Xingchen. They remembered, Ye Xingchen was also a person who owned a Scarlatinitis.

”Elder Brother Ye, you're here.” Shang Yuxian and the other two nodded and greeted Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Qian waited in the plaza for a while. The twenty Contestant s had all arrived, and the main platform was also filled with people.

Today is the day of the Pill Refining Assembly's finals, the twenty participants in front of me will be refining pills on stage at the same time, and in the end, the examination team will be filled with elders. Today's examination team is very powerful, and our Pill Refiner Association's President Zhou Yuxing will be personally participating in the examination. White-Haired Old Man stood on stage, looked around and laughed as he spoke.

As the Alchemist Association, Zhou Yuxing was the only level 4 alchemist in the entire Hun Tian City to actually want to personally participate in the examination, this was definitely the first time this happened.

Hearing the clamor in the plaza, White-Haired Old Man waved his hand to quiet everyone down, ”Everyone quiet down, Contestant, next, please come up onto the stage.”

and Lin Qian stood at the back, and on the stage, the two of them stood at the edge of the stage.

”If nothing unexpected happens, Shang Yuxian should be the champion of this competition. He should be a Third Level Alchemist, and he should also have a Scarlatinitis.”

”That may not be true. Ye Xingchen might even be a dark horse. He also possesses a Scarlatinitis.”

”Impossible, Ye Xingchen is just a Secondary Alchemist, he's far inferior to Shang Yuxian. Although he has the Scarlatinitis as well, it's impossible for him to be number one.”

Everyone in the plaza looked at the twenty Contestant, all of them discussing amongst themselves, but the majority of them thought that Shang Yuxian would be first.

Although Ye Xingchen also had a Scarlatinitis, he was, after all, a Secondary Alchemist, so it wasn't easy for him to get first place.

”Everyone, Contestant s, we only have an incense stick's worth of time to refine pills, we must finish refining pills within that time. If we go beyond that time, the world will be eliminated.” The White-Haired Old Man continued.

”The pill formulas and herbs required for today's competition are all provided by the Alchemist Association. Moreover, all participants must follow the rules to refine the pills. There are only two medicinal herbs in front of you. If you fail twice, you will also be eliminated.” White-Haired Old Man's face revealed a smile, and said while laughing.

Ye Xingchen then looked around at a small table beside him. On the table, there were all kinds of different herbs, but there were only two of them, and there was even a pill formula.

”Of course, you can disregard the pill formula, but the pills you concoct must be of a higher level than the one in the recipe. Otherwise, it would be considered a loss.” After White-Haired Old Man finished speaking, he took out an incense stick and gently lit it, ”The competition has officially begun.”

As soon as he said that, the twenty participants all took out their Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, and Ye Xingchen took out his Heaven Suppressing Cauldron as well.

Ye Xingchen took the pill formula and looked at it. This formula was used to refine Strength Gathering Pill s.

Ye Xingchen looked at the surrounding crowd. Neither the Secondary alchemist nor the Third Level alchemist chose to refine the medicinal pellets on the pill recipe, they both chose to refine the pellets that they were most proficient in.

Ye Xingchen glanced at the pill formula, then gently shook his head and placed it on the stone platform.

”Let's try refining the Soul Pill.” Ye Xingchen suddenly made a decision, and muttered to himself.

Soul Pill, it was a third grade Low Order pellet, and was extremely important to Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage practitioners.

Ye Xingchen wanted to make use of this opportunity to break through into the realm of Third Level alchemists.

Although Ye Xingchen was only a Secondary Alchemist, he still had some confidence in himself.

Ye Xingchen looked at the herbs, there were all kinds of herbs required to refine Soul Pill, and Ye Xingchen quickly followed the Soul Pill's pill formula and placed the herbs into the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron.

A strand of Innate Flame instantly appeared on top of the Mandarava in Ye Xingchen's dantian. After passing through Ye Xingchen's disguise, it became a Scarlatinitis, and appeared in his palm.

Ye Xingchen pressed both palms tightly onto the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron and began to refine the medicinal herbs within the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron.

Time slowly passed, and Ye Xingchen felt that the medicinal herbs within the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron had yet to be refined.
