Chapter 669

In front of the Seven Treasure Jewel Tower, there was already a sea of people around the arena . There were even more people than last time . The elimination round this time had drawn out many alchemy seniors .

The Pill Emperor Compet.i.tion was split into four parts: the opening round, the preliminaries, the elimination round, and the finals . It was extremely simple . But the elimination stage had the cruelest washout rate .

In the past, more than seventy percent of the compet.i.tors would wash out in the elimination round .

Last month in the preliminaries, only a tenth of the compet.i.tors were washed out . Currently, there were still over eight hundred people in the arena . Their expressions were grave .

“The elimination round’s test is refining the Nine Revolution Life Pill . ” The tower administrator’s emotionless voice rang out in everyone’s ears .

“What?!”

Virtually every compet.i.tor’s expression changed .

That Nine Revolution Life Pill was considered a peak difficulty pill amongst fifth tier pills . Someone on the verge of death could consume one to guarantee that they could survive for another six hours . Their life energy would not fade, nor would their soul dissipate . It bought them precious time to be healed .

In truth, a pill only needed a fifty percent failure rate to be cla.s.sified as a high difficulty pill . But the Nine Revolution Life Pill had a failure rate of seventy percent . It was one of the most difficult fifth tier pills to refine . The worst part was that the seventy percent failure rate referred to refining in a private, peaceful room .

In this chaotic environment, the odds of failure would be above ninety percent . But they only had three portions of medicinal ingredients . Moreover, if they failed the first time, the odds of failing again would be even higher, almost approaching one hundred percent .

So every competing alchemist’s expression was exceedingly ugly . This kind of compet.i.tion would probably depend on who was luckier .

“Each person has three sets of medicinal ingredients . The time limit is twenty-four hours, and the pill must reach the five-ring level in order to pa.s.s,” announced the tower administrator .

Hearing this, the compet.i.tors turned ashen . Even Huo Changsheng, Fang Mingyuan, and Chai Gaoyang were shocked .

How was the compet.i.tion this year so abnormal? The pill formulas were harder than before, and the requirements for pa.s.sing were even higher . What if no one managed to pa.s.s the elimination round? Wouldn’t this generation’s Pill Emperor Compet.i.tion become a joke?

“That’s impossible! No one can refine something that difficult!” One of the compet.i.tors roared furiously . This task was essentially impossible .

“Take him out of here . ”

The tower administrator waved his hand, and four white-robed men rushed onto that person’s stage . Ignoring his status as a grand Pill Emperor, they dragged him out of the arena like he was a dead dog .

“If you want to give up, then hurry up and leave . Don’t waste so many words . If anyone wants to cause such a disturbance again, they’ll immediately lose their qualifications . Let the elimination round begin!”

Following the tower administrator’s cold shout, the Nine Revolution Life Pill’s formula appeared on the stage, and a group of white-robed men distributed three sets of medicinal ingredients to everyone .

Long Chen didn’t really care about the Nine Revolution Life Pill . Looking at other people’s expressions, he saw Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang looking gravely at him . He gave them a rea.s.suring glance, his meaning that this was nothing .

In truth, even for them, they would have a high failure rate when refining the Nine Revolution Life Pill . Furthermore, to refine a five-ring one was quite the challenge .

Long Chen looked over the alchemists whom he had drunk with several times now, and he saw that they were extremely focused and tense as they began to split up the ingredients .

Some of them were already sweating . They were under a great deal of pressure in this kind of situation .

Suddenly, Long Chen sensed someone was looking at him . He turned to see Huo Wufang sneering in his direction . Once Long Chen was looking at him, Huo Wufang raised a thumb and then dipped it down towards his b.u.t.t .

The meaning was that Long Chen was only fit to stay far behind him . That action drew many people’s gazes, and even the tower administrator frowned upon seeing it . But he didn’t say anything, because as long as you didn’t speak, it wouldn’t count as breaking the rules .

“Hahaha, Huo Wufang is cursing Long San . Long San can only stay behind him and eat his c.r.a.p,” laughed the spectators .

“Tch, what little people . They want to play with me?”

Long Chen directly jumped on top of his stage, drawing everyone’s gaze . He then pointed his finger at the distant Huo Changsheng with a faint smile .

Next, he pointed to Huo Wufang’s b.u.t.t and put on a pleasured expression . At that instant, he threw a gold coin to the ground and then picked it up .

For a moment, everyone was confused . What was this supposed to mean? Such complicated actions made it so they couldn’t understand it .

“Hahaha…!”

“This fellow really is a marvel . ”

But this world did still have some smart people who managed to figure out the meaning behind Long Chen’s actions .

“What? What did he mean? Don’t just laugh by yourself!”

“Long San’s meaning is: Huo Wufang’s family head likes to prost.i.tute himself, while Huo Wufang likes to sell his b.u.t.t . They’re all s.l.u.ts . ”
