Grand Elder of the Pill Sect.
Second only to the sect leader of the Pill Sect.
The third round was presided over by the Grand Elder.
At this moment, only 19 people remained in the open space.
As for the audience seats, since this round is being held within the inner sect of the Pill Sect...
Those who come to visit here are also quite prominent figures in the Central Region.
They are all extremely powerful beings!
The number of people has naturally decreased significantly.
At this moment, the Grand Elder looked at the Alchemist on the field and couldn't help but frown.
Why is one person missing?
However, he didn't worry about it too much; less was less.
I want to talk about the beginning.
Hu Qing arrived at the judges' table.
He recounted the whole story.
The Grand Elder frowned slightly and said, "So what? Since the time has come, it must begin."
Even if they manage to get into the top twenty, the Pill Sect shouldn't be given special privileges.
The Pill Sect is the orthodox school of Dao of Alchemy.
It is the holy land for Alchemist in the world!
There's no reason for them to wait.
Seeing this, Hu Qing could only manage a wry smile.
In the audience seats.
Mu Wan'er looked around at this scene and asked, "Has Uncle not returned yet?"
Uncle Li shook his head regretfully, "I'm afraid we won't make it. Although the Pill Sect keeps a low profile, these Alchemist are proud and arrogant, and they won't extend the start time for him."
A hint of anxiety flashed across Mu Wan'er's eyes.
In the audience.
Some powerful figures also began to have doubts.
"Hmm? Didn't the person who created the Pill Formula come?"
"What a pity, the patriarch wanted me to try and win over this Alchemist."
Some joked, "It seems this Alchemist looks down on the Pill Sect; he didn't even participate in the final round of the Alchemy Conference!"
"I'm afraid this will offend the Pill Sect..."
" The Pill Sect shouldn't be that stingy."
In the field.
Zhong Li looked around, searching for Lu Changsheng.
Seeing that he hadn't come, his face darkened.
The same applies to Xie Yuanren.
They all wanted to outdo Lu Changsheng in this round!
At this moment, the Grand Elder announced, "Everyone may begin. The time limit remains two hours."
That's all.
The Alchemist had no choice but to focus on refining pills.
The content of this competition.
It's very simple.
It refers to refining the highest quality pills that Alchemist can currently produce.
Whose quality is higher?
Whoever wins!
This time, the Pill Sect did not provide any materials; all materials must be prepared by the Alchemist themselves!
If the first round tests the Alchemist's ability to observe errors...
The second round tests one's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
This third round is a direct test of the Alchemist's true skill!
Everyone began to take out their best-known pills and start refining them!
In an instant, flames raged across the square!
Hu Qing returned to the audience seats, shaking his head with a wry smile.
What a pity, missing an opportunity to become famous Central Region.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After all, it was for the sake of his disciple.
Given Hong Ying's talent, her safety is far more important than this Alchemy Conference.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
More than an hour has passed.
Gradually, the fragrance of cinnabar began to waft from the area.
Clearly, some Alchemist have already reached the pill-forming stage!
One of them was Zhong Li!
Zhong Li, with a confident expression, slammed his hand on the Pill Furnace!
Instantly, the fragrance of the pills spread like a shockwave!
Soaring into the sky!
This scene drew everyone's attention.
Even the Grand Elder opened his eyes, looked at this scene, and nodded slightly.
"It seems that Pill Conference some promising talents this time."
Zhong Li shouted, "The pill is complete!"
Suddenly, a pill emitting a blue light shot out from the Pill Furnace!
Zhong Li accepted it.
He glanced at Xie Yuanren provocatively, and then, under the watchful eyes of the audience, took the jade bottle and went to the judges' table.
He respectfully handed the jade bottle to the Grand Elder.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder nodded and accepted it.
Take out the elixir.
After examining it for a moment, he slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Not bad, the Glazed Pill. It's just one step away from entering the category of Earth Rank pills, and the impurities are controlled to 30%."
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's verdict, Zhong Li revealed a satisfied smile.
He had been practicing with this Glazed Pill for several months.
His proficiency can be said to have reached its peak.
Impurities can also be controlled to within 30%!
Zhong Li even thought that he would definitely win first place this time!
In the audience, a powerful figure nodded.
We are able to do this.
They've already been given a reason to court him.
This person has already become one of their targets for recruitment!
At this moment.
One after another, more people handed over the pills to the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded.
" Earth Fire Pill, Middle Grade Profound Rank, 50% impurities."
" Bright Yang Pill, high- Profound Rank, 60% impurities."
" Spirit Baleful Intent Pill, Middle Grade Profound Rank, 40% impurities."
At this moment, Xie Yuanren also finished refining the elixir and confidently walked towards the Grand Elder with the jade bottle in his hand.
The elder took it and examined it.
He nodded in satisfaction and said, " Yin Primordial Pill, almost identical to Earth Rank pill, with 30% impurities."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuanren's eyes lit up with joy!
Zhong Li's expression darkened.
Infinitely close to the Earth Rank!
This is clearly of a higher grade than his Glazed Pill!
Moreover, impurities were controlled to within 30%!
Clearly, Xie Yuanren's elixirs are ranked higher than his!
At the same time, he is also the person with the highest-ranking pill level among those present!
"Hmm, this person is worth keeping an eye on."
"He's a promising talent. We can offer him relatively higher compensation. Let's see if he'd be willing to come and serve as a guest retainer."
"But he prefers the Pill Sect..."
"So what? If the pay is good enough, they'll naturally join us."
For powerful forces...
Their foundation is not much weaker than that of the Pill Sect.
If you offer enough rewards, you can naturally win over these Alchemist.
At this moment.
Time is running out.
The second-to-last incense stick has already burned more than halfway!
Meanwhile, all the Alchemist on the field had finished refining their products.
Lu Changsheng was still nowhere to be seen.
Hu Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
pity.
If that Changsheng were still alive, they wouldn't be in any trouble.
Mu Wan'er was also somewhat disappointed.
"Uncle is clearly stronger than them..."
At this moment.
The Grand Elder has already devised the rankings.
Just as the rankings were about to be announced.
A streak of light flashed by!
A man appeared at the Alchemy Conference venue!
"Um?"
The elder looked up.
He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Hu Qing's face lit up with joy when she saw the man.
Mu Wan'er smiled sweetly and jumped up, "Uncle's here!"
The person who arrived was none other than Lu Changsheng!
Looking at the scene around him, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "Is this already over?"
Now that the Grand Elder knew Lu Changsheng's identity, his expression darkened, and he said, "You have lost your qualifications."
Lu Changsheng pointed to the incense stick and said, "Isn't there still one stick left?"
The Grand Elder was taken aback. "What can you do in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?"
At that moment, a voice transmission appeared in the Grand Elder's mind.
The Grand Elder listened with a complicated expression, nodded, and looked at Lu Changsheng, saying, "Alright, as long as you can finish within the allotted time."
now.
Only an incense stick's worth of time remains!
