Chapter 253: First day (2/2)

”We have learned that everyone is here, so we will start the explanation for today's competitions.”

”The theme of today's competition is ingredients. It's mostly focused on the production and specialty sects, so the competition will have to do with ingredients required in these fields.”

”Please look at the screen, These are the competition for today,” Fu Zhen walked to the side and an image popped up behind him. There were a bunch of texts written on it.

Everyone in the competition started looking at the screen and reading it. The list contained the different competitions and their descriptions as well as the time they were going to take place.

'Oh, there are 2 alchemy competitions huh,' Alex thought in surprise.

Ma Rong looked back and said, ”Alright, aside from alchemy, is anyone confident in any of the other ones?” she asked.

A male and female disciple spoke up from behind.

”I can do the formation ingredients, sect leader,” he said.

”I think I can do well in the poison ingredient competition,” she said.

”Okay, good. As for alchemy, Fanfan and Wan Li will take part in the pill ingredients recognition, while Yu Ming and Meimei will take part in the raw ingredient recognition,” Ma Rong said.

Alex looked towards the screen once more. The Pill Ingredients test, according to the explanation, was where the participants would be given a mystery pill and would have to recognize the ingredients in the pill from the effects it provided.

These pills were usually new common rank pills made exclusively by the royal alchemist for the competition, so there wasn't any way for others to really know the recipe beforehand.

The second ingredients test was the raw ingredients test. It didn't mention the exact procedure of the test, but given that it dealt with ingredients, Alex was sure that he would be able to do well in the competition.

”Sect Leader, I want to take part in the second test too,” Fan Ruogang shouted.

”No. There are only 3 competitions a participant can take part in. I want you to take part in only a single one today,” Ma Rong said.

”Okay,” Fan Ruogang said with a dejected voice. However,  her voice immediately got cheery as she said, ”Let's do well okay, Wanwan?”

”Mmm,” Wan Li said nothing more.

Ma Rong chose the third participant for either competition. Alex didn't really know them or care about them. Ma Rong looked back to check on the screen once more.

”Since the first one is at 8, and the second one is at 11, we have ample time for preparation. Okay, let's go register your lot in the competition.”
