The venue of Pill Gathering is located in the North District of Inner Region, and that place was occupied by a terrifying sea of people a few days ago, all wanting to see the high-level alchemist.
Therefore, when Chen Guan and others rushed here, what they saw was a dense sea of human heads with no end in sight. The loud noise rose into the sky, and finally turned into a terrifying sound wave that could be heard clearly within a hundred miles.
There was too much traffic ahead, so Chen Guan was not in a hurry to get there. Dang even led a group of people and stopped on top of a building.
Looking around, this area is a huge square of nearly a thousand feet.
I used to practice at Pill Tower. In my spare time, Chen Guan also visited Holy Pill City a few times. I also visited the square here.
But today's square is a little different. In mid-air, there are many stone platforms suspended out of thin air. These stone platforms have a faint light that permeates the air. They look quite magical. They are made of a strange stone called Floating Jade Stone.
Theoretically, as long as there are a sufficient number of Floating Jade Stone, a Sky City can be built without any other means.
Relatively speaking, building some stone platforms is just child's play.
"Those stone platforms are the last seats for the contestants in the third round. During the introduction, the scenery of Ten Thousand Flames Rising is so beautiful that even I have only seen it once, and it is still unforgettable."
Ye Chong, who had been waiting outside the small courtyard for a long time, pointed to the stone platforms suspended in mid-air and attracted everyone's attention, and introduced them to everyone.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can climb the stone platform, even if you are not standing at the end, it is also an honor!
There were waves of sound, feeling the warm atmosphere of the scene, and Chen Guan's mood became slightly heated.
"That space is?"
After watching for a moment, Yun Yun pointed to the far distance on the other side and asked.
The group of people looked along where Yun Yun pointed, and saw only a dark gray space, which was extremely conspicuous under the clear blue sky.
If you look carefully, you can find that the space was actually distorted by life, and in that twisted space, there are dark gray gases filling and rolling, blocking the outside world's sight.
"You must have already known about the three levels of Pill Gathering. As you can see, the dark gray space is the first level, named Illusion Space."
Everyone nodded, and Ye Chong continued to smile, "That dark gray gas is produced from the body of a kind of magical beast called 'Illusion Soul Beast'. It can not only obscure people's sight, but also cause certain obstacles to soul detection. In addition, there are mysteries in that space. The spaces are overlapping, like a maze. Spiritual Power The weak will lose their sense of direction once they enter it."
"Slowly, some hidden inner thoughts will appear, and if you don't pay attention, you will be completely addicted to them. Although there is no danger, it is not easy to pass soberly. In the last Pill Gathering, thousands of people were eliminated in this round alone..."
I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running away.
Having seen it once in person, as well as many records in the family, Ye Chong is very familiar with Pill Gathering's situation. Now that he mentions it, he can't stop talking, and he has a sense of déjà vu as a 'tour guide'.
Listening to his narration, even Venerable Skyfire and Old Monster You Du became a little more interested, not to mention Younger Generation, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Ye Xinlan and others.
Chen Guan was listening while scanning the dense crowd below.
It has to be said that Central Plains is a gathering of talents. Apart from Cao Ying, Song Qing and other familiar people, Chen Guan actually found more than ten new faces wearing Seventh Grade Alchemist Badge.
And that's not counting the hidden ones...
Among the more than ten people, there were some old and some young.
The most eye-catching thing among them is the petite and fragile girl in the middle of the attic on the other side who is firmly protected by four or five Dou Zong Expert.
He looked less than twenty years old, but the Seventh Grade Badge on his chest was extremely bright. He lowered his head and still couldn't hide the light on his body.
Chen Guan has some guesses that she is probably the Dan Chen that Cao Ying mentioned many times.
As if aware of his gaze, Dan Chen also looked up.
Chen Guan nodded politely, but Dan Chen quickly lowered his head like a frightened little rabbit with slightly red cheeks.
This...
The rumors are really not groundless.
Having heard about her temper, Chen Guan shook his head slightly and looked back, not paying attention.
It was also at this time that Chen Guan suddenly felt a cold gaze cast on him in the sea of people.
Suddenly looking around, he quickly spotted an ordinary old man.
His face was obviously disguised, his joking smile was extremely stiff, and his snake-like eyes were full of coldness.
"Soul Hall's mouse?"
Feeling that the person who came was not kind, Chen Guan also felt a murderous intention in his heart.
Boom! Just at this moment, a crisp chime of a bell suddenly resounded throughout the world. The chime of the bell spread out in a mighty manner, and even the loud noise that shook the sky was suppressed by it.
As the bell rang, the square became much quieter, and countless eyes turned to the tower-like stone platform on the east side of the square.
There will be the place where Pill Tower high-level executives will appear!
They were not kept waiting for long. Not long after, there were bursts of breaking wind sounds. Immediately, the space on the stone platform was slightly distorted, and more than a dozen figures slowly emerged.
Chen Guan glanced away, and the leader was Three Greats of the Pill Tower.
The white-haired, cheap teacher Xuan Kongzi is very elegant.
Tian Leizi has a serious face and a serious expression.
And Xuan Yi, who is plump, beautiful and full of charm.
As soon as these three people appeared, the world was suddenly so quiet that no one dared to make a fuss. In the endless sea of people, countless eyes with various emotions were focused on them.
Pill Tower Three Great Giants, this name, not to mention Central Plains, even if you look at the entire Dou Qi Continent, it can be regarded as truly famous.
To ordinary people, these three people usually exist in legends, but their sudden appearance now makes countless people feel unbelievable.
Looking around, the white-haired Xuan Kongzi walked out slowly, and then a gentle voice sounded clearly in everyone's ears.
"Haha, I, Xuan Kongzi, on behalf of Pill Tower, welcome all the alchemists who come here. In the coming days, this will be a stage for you to show off your skills."
"You have come all the way here for Pill Gathering, so I won't waste time here. This Pill Gathering will be as usual, divided into three rounds of levels, namely..."
Knowing that most people are aware of the process, Xuan Kongzi did not elaborate too much. He briefly explained the rules and then raised the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"The rewards for this year's champion are extremely generous. Not only will they get a spot as a candidate for Pill Tower Giant, but they will also get a volume of ancient Soul Cultivation Method. With it, it will be just around the corner to reach Eighth-Tier or even the ninth level in the future!"
Wow! As soon as these words came out, the dense sea of people in the square suddenly became bustling with excitement. The noise could not be stopped, and countless alchemists were so excited that their eyes turned red.
Not to mention the ninth level, even Eighth-Tier is an almost legendary level for 99% of the alchemists present.
But if you are lucky enough to get that ancient volume of Soul Cultivation Method, then everything is possible! The unknown can bring endless reveries, and the nearly lost Soul Cultivation Method has an infinitely greater effect in the minds of many alchemists, almost becoming a divine object that can defy the heavens and change fate.
There is no doubt that this reward has a fatal attraction for them! On the other hand, Chen Guan, who has two Soul Cultivation Techniques, one complete and one incomplete, looks as usual, but still has some thoughts in his heart.
A fool may find too much of a good thing! On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi looked at the eyes that suddenly turned red, and it seemed that the contestants' emotions had been completely ignited. He smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, the sleeves and robes were waved lightly, and an invisible wave was waved out, hitting the void, and suddenly another melodious bell sounded.
"The time has come. All contestants of level five or above should go to the first level, Soul Illusion! If you come out within one hour, you will be considered as passed."
Xuan Kongzi The finger suddenly turned to the distance of the square, where the dark gray space was rapidly distorting, forming strange worlds of its own, showing many mysteries.
boom! A stone set off a thousand waves, and suddenly, in the dense sea of people, black shadows with strong momentum rushed out one after another, like locusts crossing the border, and they flashed towards the twisted space filled with strange gray gas in the far distance.
After waiting for five or six minutes, until almost all the contestants in the square had entered, Chen Guan set off.
"Come on!" Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun cheered.
Venerable Skyfire and others shook their heads and chuckled. It's such a pediatric level. You only need hands. Do you need to care?
Chen Guan waved his hand casually, and there was a flash of lightning under his feet. When he reappeared, he was hundreds of feet away, and he leisurely caught up with Cao Ying and others who were also strolling in the garden.
"Junior brother, I thought you were going to be the last one to enter."
Cao Ying turned his head and looked with a smile on his face, not a trace of nervousness at all.
Chen Guan was about to reply, but Song Qing, who looked like brown sugar, spoke first.
"Hmph, you are a sensationalist!"
Good guy, isn't this looking for abuse?
In this case, Chen Guan doesn't tolerate him either.
"Get in here, please."
With a slight lift of three-point force, with a simple kick, Song Qing was like a ball, accurately kicked into Illusion Space with a scream.
Such a ridiculous scene made many people laugh.
Others were a little apprehensive, but Cao Clan laughed out loud.
"Take it easy, the elders of other people's families are still watching."
Chen Guan looked back, and sure enough, there was a small group of people glaring at him, and he knew it was Song Clan without asking.
"Just take a look, senior sister, I'm going in."
"Yeah."
Watching Chen Guan take the first step, Cao Ying slowed down, exchanged a few words with Cao Dan and others behind him, and then followed closely.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the contestants entered Illusion Space, making the originally crowded square finally relax.
However, the noisy heated discussion has not diminished at all, but has become even more heated. Many people have begun to speculate, how many people will be eliminated in this round?
On the stone platform.
Xuan Kongzi smiled and glanced at Great Elder, who didn't look very good-looking.
"There are more than 26,000 people. I remember that the last Pill Gathering was only over 20,000. More and more alchemists are growing up, which is a good thing. However, there are also some old guys among them who have participated three or four times in a row. For Three Thousand Burning Flame, they also risked their skin."
There is a hidden benefit for the top ten Pill Gathering, you can get a chance to refine Three Thousand Burning Flame.
Although this matter has not been stated explicitly, it is not a secret.
Tian Leizi, who was standing next to him, looked serious and took over the conversation in a humming voice.
"Keeping that thing is a hidden danger. If it is really refined by them, it doesn't matter. However, it must not fall into the hands of the Soul Hall! I don't know who Pill Gathering sent to participate this time."
It is not easy to train a high-level alchemist, even one as powerful as Soul Hall.
Moreover, the risk of rashly interfering with Pill Tower's event is not small.
Therefore, they can be sure that there must be people from the Soul Hall participating, but the number will not be large, most likely just one.
Hearing this, Xuan Yi, who was dressed in palace attire, also frowned slightly.
Soul Hall behaves in a disgraceful way, but is indeed a huge threat.
On the other hand, Xuan Kongzi was not very nervous, and the smile on his face remained.
"If I win, I will lose my life. We just have to guarantee fairness and justice. If Soul Hall really wins, it means that our skills are not as good as others. There is nothing to say. Trust these little guys, they are not necessarily worse than those old guys."
Hearing Xuan Kongzi say this, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi couldn't help but look at him more.
The other end.
Chen Guan only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in the environmental space.
Almost at the same time, a strange force immediately covered him, like an invisible barrier that blinded the spirit, greatly reducing the soul's perception. With his Spiritual Power, he could only detect a radius of about five feet, which was evident from his suppression.
Spiritual Power Even so, let alone the naked eye.
Everything as far as the eye can see is dark gray.
Marveling at the strangeness of the illusion mirror space, Chen Guan was not in a hurry, walking in it with his hands behind his back, waiting for the so-called illusion to arrive.
After taking control of "Great Soundless Sound", he also knows a thing or two about illusions. Now is a rare opportunity to observe more, so as to make the illusion he created more real.
As time passed, Chen Guan Soul Power spread, but there was still no abnormality.
Just as he was muttering to himself, he finally felt a clear sense of trance in his mind. When he came back to his senses, the surrounding scene had undergone earth-shaking changes.
What caught the eye was a misty sect.
"Don't look outside. It's getting late. Let's take a rest early."
The familiar voice rang in his ears, and Chen Guan suddenly burst into laughter.
Looking back out of curiosity, I saw Sect Master Yun dressed boldly, but still shy about speaking. Her slender hands were holding the corners of the translucent gauze clothes, looking at herself angrily.
What's even more surprising is that next to her, there is an unexpected person with an equally sultry posture.
"Sister Yaoye, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Yaoye bit his lower lip lightly, his cheeks turning red.
"Today is your special day. I will keep my word and fulfill my promise."
