Chapter 819 (2/2)

Since their entrance, they hadn’t seen many people.

Just like that.

Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei followed Elder Wen along the central avenue toward the square ahead.

Soon, they arrived at the square in front of them.

Upon entering the square, Lin Jing saw the entirety of it and understood why this square was so vast.

In the center of the square was a high platform covered with formation patterns, partitioned into sections.

Moreover, each section had a stone table and a stone pill furnace.

Around the platform, there was also a huge formation encompassing the entire square.

It seemed to be an alchemy competition arena.

Seeing what Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei were thinking, Elder Wen turned back and said to them,

“Every hundred years, our Elixir Alliance organizes a grand alchemy conference, inviting alchemists under three hundred years old from the entire Eastern Spirit Realm to participate.”

“Participants who stand out and achieve a certain ranking will receive definite rewards.”

“Moreover, the top three winners can choose to join our Elixir Alliance or any forces they desire.”

Changyun Yuanlei looked at the vast competition area and couldn’t help but speak,

“Alchemists from the entire Eastern Spirit Realm…”

“It’s certainly not easy to place in such a competition.”

Elder Wen nodded and said,

“Of course…”

“Each competition is exceptionally fierce, and many already renowned genius pill masters, with just a slight inattention, end up eliminated.”

After saying this, Elder Wen looked at Changyun Yuanlei and added,

“Since you are from the Changyun Clan, you must also possess exceptional talents in alchemy techniques.”

“If you were to enter the competition, not to mention finishing in the top three, you should surely achieve a respectable ranking.”

Changyun Yuanlei responded with an embarrassed smile,

“Maybe…

maybe so…”

Facing the alchemists from the entire Eastern Spirit Realm, even Changyun Yuanlei, who came from an Ancient Alchemy Family, was not absolutely confident.

After all,

the Eastern Spirit Realm was already the strongest area in the cultivation world, filled with exceptional talents and long-standing sect forces.

It was incomparable to other places.

Perhaps among these forces, there were genius pill masters nurtured by various sects.

Facing these individuals, Changyun Yuanlei was also not very confident.

Seeing this, Elder Wen simply smiled slightly, and then said no more.

He continued leading them deeper inside.

Passing through the square, the trio kept moving inward.

Finally, they arrived at a tower-like high-rise building that was nine stories tall and dozens of feet high.

Following this,

Elder Wen led Lin Jing and the others toward this high-rise building.

After entering the tower with Elder Wen, they ascended until they reached the top.

There, Elder Wen introduced Lin Jing and the others to the true ruler of the Elixir Alliance, the Alliance Hierarch.

Upon entering the ninth floor, Elder Wen approached and spoke to a middle-aged man who was sitting and perusing a scroll,

“Hierarch!”

“These two members of the Changyun Clan carry Elder Bai’s token and seek an audience with Elder Bai.”

Hearing Elder Wen’s words, the Elixir Alliance Hierarch then raised his head and looked at Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei standing behind Elder Wen.

The gaze of the Elixir Alliance Hierarch was penetrating, awe-inspiring, as if it could see right through them, scanning over both Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei.

Lin Jing felt as though he was being seen through.

However, it was not yet time for Lin Jing to speak since Elder Wen had just finished speaking.

Feeling that gaze, Lin Jing remained composed as if unaffected, continuing to stand there.

Changyun Yuanlei turned to glance at Lin Jing, and seeing him motionless, also stood still without moving.

After scanning the two, the Alliance Hierarch then looked back at Elder Wen and asked,

“Where is Elder Bai’s token?”

“Show it to me!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Wen directly took out the token and handed it to the Alliance Hierarch.

After accepting the token and examining it for a while, the Alliance Hierarch nodded slightly,

“This is indeed Elder Bai’s token.”

Following this, the Alliance Hierarch spoke to Elder Wen,

“Alright…”

“You may leave now.

I will take care of them from here.”

“Yes, Hierarch…”

After Elder Wen finished speaking, he then promptly exited.
