After undergoing testing at one of Pill Tower's branch towers, Lin Ye successfully registered for Pill Tower's Pill Gathering.
A few days later, the Pill Gathering officially began!
Early in the morning, as the first golden rays of dawn tore through the sky and shone down upon Holy Pill City through the white clouds,
Holy Pill City was already flooded with crowds.
The alchemists participating in the Pill Gathering, along with those who had come to watch it, were already on the move throughout Holy Pill City, hurrying toward the venue.
Lin Ye and Yao Chen were among them.
The Pill Gathering was being held in the northern district of Holy Pill City, on an enormous alchemy plaza.
By the time Lin Ye arrived from the outer region of Holy Pill City, the surroundings of the vast alchemy plaza were already packed with spectators, like a sea of people.
As far as the eye could see, there were only bobbing heads; individual faces could not even be made out clearly. It was Lin Ye's first time seeing so many people gathered together, more densely packed than armies on a battlefield. The deafening clamor shook the heavens, leaving him somewhat awed.
Above the enormous alchemy plaza, stone platforms floated in the air. Divine light flowed across each one, making it clear that they were no ordinary stone platforms.
"Lin Ye, do you know what the first round of the Pill Gathering is?"
Standing at a distance and gazing at the enormous plaza ahead, Yao Chen stroked his snow-white beard and spoke leisurely.
"What is it?"
Though Lin Ye knew, he still feigned ignorance to fit his identity.
Hearing Lin Ye's question, Yao Chen stroked his snow-white beard and chuckled, then pointed toward a stretch of dark gray space before the plaza.
