Soon, the night passed without incident.
Time flew by, and two days later, the competition for alchemy finally began!
These past two days, Pill City has been bustling with activity, as countless forces from various large and small domains have flocked in.
Among these forces, some are even more powerful than the Pill Domain. For example, the Qinglong Domain, the Baihu Domain, the Giant Ox Domain, the Heavenly Void Domain, and the Northern and Southern Domains. Every person they bring is a powerhouse among powerhouses.
However, Ye Changge was unaware of everything happening outside. He and the other contestants arrived at a huge circular plaza in the core area of Pill City. This plaza was large enough to hold tens of millions of people, and the spectacular sight excited everyone.
Ye Changge followed the other contestants into the square.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Just as everyone quieted down, figures flew in from all directions; they were all referees and judges for this alchemy competition.
Three figures flashed by like lightning, appearing before everyone in the blink of an eye.
Their appearance caused an uproar, because on their chests hung a divine alchemy badge that shone with golden light, and in the very center of the badge, a bright "seven" was particularly eye-catching.
"My goodness! Is this the foundation of the Pill Domain? There are actually three seventh-level alchemists! These are beings capable of refining God King Pill!" someone exclaimed in amazement.
"Yes, wouldn't such a powerful being already be considered one of the top beings in our Divine Realm?" another person echoed.
"Of course! There are probably only a handful of alchemists in the entire Divine Realm who can refine the God King Pill!" another person excitedly replied.
"Haha, I never imagined I'd live to see such a distinguished person! I'm so lucky!" Some people were even dancing with excitement.
Among the three people, the white-haired old man standing in the middle was particularly eye-catching. He had a kind face that made people feel warm and friendly. Seeing everyone's excitement, he smiled and raised his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.
After the scene calmed down, he spoke, "The 3000th Centennial Pill Dao Competition officially begins! All participants, please come forward and draw lots, then find your corresponding position according to the number you drew. Each position will have a pill formula; you must refine the pill according to the formula. Finally, whoever refines the highest-grade pill will become the champion of this competition!"
Upon hearing this, the scene instantly erupted in commotion.
"What?! This competition only has one alchemy session?! Isn't this a joke?!" someone exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, that puts a lot of pressure on us. Who knows how strong our opponents will be!" another person chimed in.
"It's over, it's over, there's definitely no hope this time," someone said dejectedly.
Ye Changge stood quietly in the crowd, listening to the murmurs around him, feeling a growing nervousness. After all, this competition only involved alchemy, and he knew nothing about the other contestants' abilities, which made him extremely uneasy. However, at the same time, deep down he was filled with anticipation and excitement. He knew that this was the perfect opportunity for him to showcase himself and prove his strength.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then felt the rich aura of alchemy surrounding him. That aura was like a powerful force, tightly enveloping him, seemingly wanting to devour him. But he was not afraid; instead, he walked forward with even greater determination.
Finally, it was his turn to draw lots. He slowly walked to the front of the stage, reached out and pulled a slip of paper from the box. Then, he followed the other contestants to the competition hall.
Upon entering the competition hall, Ye Changge eagerly opened the slip of paper in his hand, where three numbers were clearly printed: thirty-eight. His gaze quickly swept across the entire hall, and he found his seat, row three, number thirty-eight.
Soon, they found their place.
There was a platform there, a place to put the alchemy furnace, and a pill formula, but no rare or precious ingredients appeared.
Once everyone has found their place...
Suddenly, a panel appeared in front of them.
"Dear contestants, please carefully examine the pill formulas in your hands. If you wish to refine a particular pill, simply click on the screen, and rare and precious ingredients will appear. Each pill formula corresponds to three sets of rare and precious ingredients. If your alchemy furnace does not have these ingredients, you can simply say so."
I gave a general overview.
Everyone immediately tensed up.
Soon, the sight of millions of people standing in front of the alchemy furnace was truly exhilarating.
What a magnificent scene! Millions of eyes were fixed on the same alchemy furnace, hoping it would bring miracles and surprises. People's faces were filled with enthusiasm and excitement, as if the whole world had been drawn to this alchemy furnace.
Ye Changge stood in the crowd, his gaze sweeping around. He noticed a young girl in Red Robe standing in front of him. She looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she exuded an innocent and naive aura. Her eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace with curiosity, as if she were full of anticipation for what was about to happen.
Ye Changge looked to his left and saw a beautiful woman. This woman was a little older, about fifty years old, with a graceful figure. She wore a long black dress, and her temperament was elegant and charming. Her gaze also fell on the alchemy furnace, and a subtle glint flashed in her eyes.
Then, Ye Changge shifted his gaze to the right and found another woman standing there. She was also dressed in black, with a voluptuous and alluring figure, especially her prominent breasts. She was slightly younger than the woman on the left, around forty years old. Her expression was calm, as if she had become accustomed to everything before her.
Finally, Ye Changge glanced back at what was behind him. Standing behind him was a man in White Robe, handsome and dashing, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Between his brows, there was a faint but powerful and scorching aura, clearly indicating that the man was no ordinary person.
Ye Changge secretly guessed that this man in White Robe must be an exceptionally skilled alchemist. The confidence and composure in his eyes made one look at him with new respect.
"Everyone, regarding the pill formulas before you, refine whatever pills you are capable of, according to your abilities. Do what you can, within three hours."
Upon hearing this, he opened the prescription in his hand and began to study it carefully.
This is an extremely complex elixir recipe, requiring precise control of time and heat to refine a perfect pill.
" The Palace-Breaking Pill, since it's a fifth-grade pill, and one of the most difficult to refine among fifth-grade pills, because it requires so many materials—a total of one hundred and eight kinds, some of which are extremely violent, making it impossible for ordinary people to refine."
"However, once this kind of pill is successfully refined, its effects are extraordinary. Not only can it help people break through to the Divine Palace Realm, but it can also allow disciples in the Divine Palace Realm to break through to a minor realm without any problems. After the breakthrough, there are no side effects, making it the best choice."
Ye Changge thought to himself.
The system then scanned the area and quickly discovered several powerful Heaven God, all of whom appeared to be no more than forty years old. However, there was not a single person at the Divine Palace Realm.
That put his mind at ease.
