Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the competition. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼
On this day, Ye Zhong sat nervously in the hall where he had previously met with Xiao Ming, glancing out from time to time, looking somewhat tense.
A moment later, a White-clothed Youth stepped into the room. He was handsome with a gentle smile on his lips and long, black hair that cascaded down his shoulders, giving him a dashing air. This man was Xiao Ming.
Upon seeing Xiao Ming, the tension on Ye Zhong's face dissipated, replaced by a bright smile.
"Master Xiao Ming, you've finally arrived."
"I apologize for Ye Zhong waiting; the continuous alchemy and recovery of my energy took quite some time."
"It's alright. Restoring your energy is the most important thing and cannot be taken lightly. It's normal for it to take a little time. → Today is the day of the competition, let's set off first. We can talk about some things on the way."
Since the Ye Family is acting as guarantors for Xiao Ming's participation in this competition, someone from the Ye family must be present.
"Very well, then I'll trouble Elder Ye Zhong to lead the way."
As they walked along the road, Xiao Ming and Ye Zhong attracted the attention of quite a few people.
In particular, Xiao Ming, despite his young age, already possessed a Grade Seven High-level Alchemist Badge on his chest, leading many to speculate about his identity.
Many women looked at Xiao Ming's profile with fascination, their eyes filled with flirtatious glances.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ming wasn't very interested in these people; otherwise, he could easily have lived a life of nightly revelry.
Noticing the gazes around him, Ye Zhong glanced at Xiao Ming, whose expression remained calm, and chuckled softly. He had to admit that, whether in terms of talent, temperament, or appearance, Xiao Ming was the most outstanding person he had ever seen.
Xiao Ming's ability to maintain a peaceful state of mind is truly commendable.
Ye Zhong gave a silent compliment and then said, "I have already found the Ten Thousand Year Azure Spirit Vine, the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit, and the Snow Bone Ginseng you asked us to find in the Pill Tower, and I have already exchanged them for you. They are in this Na Ring."
As he spoke, Ye Zhong handed over a dark red Na Ring.
Xiao Ming took it, poured his Soul Power into it, and nodded as he looked at the medicinal herbs inside.
These were indeed the medicinal herbs he needed, and not just one plant; there were two of each type.
These medicinal herbs are no ordinary vegetables; the Ye Family, whose fortunes were waning, had gone to great lengths to exchange them from the Pill Tower.
Seeing that Xiao Ming was satisfied, Ye Zhong's smile widened. Being able to build a good relationship with Xiao Ming was definitely worth the effort of using those connections.
"Inside the Na Ring, besides the medicinal herbs Master Xiao Ming instructed, there is also a reward for helping the Ye Family in their next mission."
Xiao Ming put away the Na Ring and nodded slightly. He had seen the reward: three Eighth-Grade Pill Formulas. The Ye Family had really spent a lot of money this time. The Ye Family was obviously doing this to curry favor with him.
Xiao Ming didn't refuse; after all, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
The selection of the Eight Great Elders candidates took place in a special hall within the Holy Pill City Inner Region. This was the exclusive venue for selections throughout history, established by the Pill Tower, which demonstrates the Pill Tower's high regard for these Eight Great Elders.
This competition is not held in secret, but rather in a semi-public manner. Some qualified forces within the Pill Region will arrive here when the Competition Begins. The Eight Great Elders can be considered the true high-ranking members of the Pill Tower. As long as you get on their good side, the benefits will be considerable.
Even without connections, the alchemy process of Advanced Alchemist is rarely seen.
This competition mainly involves Grade Seven High-level Alchemist, so it's a good opportunity for them to broaden the horizons of the younger generation.
