On the way there, Yang Chen gained a certain understanding of the Alchemy Convention being held in Changfeng Main City.
For the Alchemy Convention, Changfeng Main City would send out a group of elite alchemists it had cultivated under its command, then invite a number of Alchemy Masters to refine pills.

Of course, there was no such thing as pie falling from the sky. If the refinement succeeded, one of the pills produced had to be sold to Changfeng Main City. Only if two pills were produced would they have the right to keep one for themselves.
That was only if they succeeded. If they failed and blew up the furnace, the consequences would be far more miserable. Independent alchemists would then have to compensate double the cost. If they could not afford it, they would have to sign an agreement and work in Changfeng Main City using their Alchemy techniques until they could repay it.
This was the cleverness of Changfeng Main City. They only needed to provide some materials that were insignificant to them, and every year they could get quite a few foolish young alchemists to refine pills for them free of charge.

Of course, the appeal of the Alchemy Convention could not be denied.
Overall, the Alchemy Convention was divided into three levels.
The first level was naturally the alchemists dispatched by the hosts of Changfeng Main City. They represented the
