“Wow, so many people. It’s too lively here.”
Looking at the sea of people on Qinglan Square, Ji Yi exclaimed. She had never seen so many people before.
There were at least tens of thousands of people here. It was impossible to find a person buried inside.
Qing Ling was also extremely excited when she saw such a lively place. She had never seen such a scene before.
Mu Yu led Li Lingtian and the others to the center of the plaza. He had already arranged for someone to find a spot there.
Although it could not be compared to the high platform, this seat was still very good. It was the best grandstand.
If one wanted to go to the high platform, this was not a problem that could be solved by spirit stones, because only people with status could go up.
As soon as Li Lingtian and the others found their positions, a series of figures flashed in the air and a powerful aura filled the space.
Countless experts came to the high platform. In just a moment, more than half of the 300 seats on the high platform were occupied. Only a few seats were empty.
Moreover, these empty seats were all at the front.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh.”
The air trembled again as ten elders flew over. After arriving on the high platform, the ten elders looked at each other and nodded in greeting.
Everyone knew that these ten old men were one of the judges, the Spirit Alchemists.
” The Great Alchemist Meet that happens once every ten years is just about to begin.”
At this moment, the leader of the Dongling Clan, Dongling Mutian, announced loudly. As one of the major clans of the Azure Mist City and an alchemy clan, the Dongling Clan would naturally be present in this grand event.
“Please welcome Pill Master Yun Yuan of the Immortal Realm.”
The Eastern Tomb Mutian simply announced the start of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, and then he respectfully called out to the sky.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless ancient martial art practitioners below were boiling. What kind of existence was a Saint Alchemist? He was a god-like existence in alchemy.
Not only that, this Saint Alchemist was also an expert from the immortal realms. His status was extremely transcendent. Even the three supreme powers of the Northern Dark Azure Continent wouldn’t dare to easily offend him.
“Your Excellency Alchemy Saint?”
” There really is a Saint Alchemist!”
” You’re an alchemist who refines grade-7 pills. Even a Martial Honor or Martial Emperor can’t raise their cultivation without a grade-7 pill.”
” Alchemy Saint, there’s no Alchemy Saint in the Azure Continent.”
“I heard that this pill master is one of the top ten pill masters in the immortal realm.”
” A Saint Alchemist is an existence that even a Martial Emperor would not easily offend.”
For a moment, before the Saint Alchemist appeared, countless warriors began to discuss enviously. No one was not envious and respectful. A Saint Alchemist was a god-like existence in the alchemy path.
This was a true pill refiner, refining a level seven pill. No matter how trashy a level seven pill was, it was not something a level six could compare to.
There was an insurmountable gap between Rank-6 and Rank-7.
Li Lingtian was extremely curious as well but he was not envious at all. It was just that he did not have enough time. If he could improve his strength, he might become a Holy Alchemist as well.
Naturally, he did not know how rare a Saint Alchemist was. Even in a place like the Azure Continent, where there were many experts, there was not a single Saint Alchemist.
Alchemy Saint Masters gathered in the distant and mysterious Divine Continent. Most of the time, these Alchemy Saint Masters were in the Immortal Realm.
A light shield appeared in the sky, and a white-bearded elder floated over. He looked like a celestial being in the immortal realm, with a faint smile on his face.
“Your Excellency, Pill Saint.”
“Your Excellency, Pill Saint.”
Countless cheers rang out, and every martial artist had a crazy expression on their faces. The existence of a Saint Alchemist was even more transcendent than a ninth level Martial Honored Realm expert. They could even be called an existence like a Martial Emperor.
Li Lingtian was equally shocked. Although the old man was protected by a Light Shield, he was emanating a powerful Alchemy Dao aura.
Moreover, he could not tell the cultivation strength of this old man at all. He did not know what realm he had reached.
After Pill Master Yun Yuan arrived at the high platform, he extended his hand to greet all the martial artists and then sat on the high platform.
A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but this trace of expression disappeared in a flash. No one noticed at all that a Saint Alchemist of the Immortal Realm naturally looked down on these trash martial artists.
Following that, the representatives of the three super forces arrived one after another. There were also representatives of the large families from other cities who arrived on the high platform one after another.
Half an hour later, the high platform was filled with people. Li Lingtian scanned the platform with his Divine Perception and found that the people on the platform were either Martial Emperors, Martial Honors, Alchemists, or some super favored sons of heaven.
” This time, the Grand Alchemist Meet will be held once every ten years. Just like the past, the participating alchemists will go through the first round of the competition and concoct the best pills in the shortest amount of time possible. Those who fail will be eliminated.”
After everyone arrived, Dongling Mutian announced the rules of the competition.
Following that, Li Lingtian handed Little White to Ji Yi and instructed the two of them to wait there while he walked forward alone.
If he wanted to participate in the competition, he would naturally start from the very beginning with a first-grade medicinal pill.
When he arrived at the waiting area for the competition, Li Lingtian was stunned. There were thousands of people competing. How long would it take for such a competition?
However, he soon understood that these pill refiners were all competing in batches.
” The first round is a test of a first-grade Vitality Pill.”
The Eastern Tomb Mutian announced the name of the pill. Then, the 1500th person entered the ranks of the alchemists.
Li Lingtian was resting on the spot. Those who entered the Alchemist class would receive a token and prepare their own materials and cauldrons.
Li Lingtian’s face was filled with helplessness when he saw these alchemists. He did not know how long he would have to wait for his turn with thousands of people.
Then, he closed his eyes and meditated, not worrying about the competition.
Finally, after three hours, it was Li Lingtian’s turn.
The place where Li Lingtian was at was also the last batch of alchemists.
Although Li Lingtian was meditating during this period of time, he had a clear understanding of the outside world.
The time limit for a first-grade medicinal pill was half an hour. If it was more than half an hour, one would lose the qualification to compete and would also be eliminated.
When Li Lingtian entered the Apothecary Hall, he saw that there was no obstruction at all as the entire place was filled with the Geocentric Flame. Every Apothecary had chosen their own place.
In such a place, it was simply impossible to refine pills in peace. It seemed that this competition was also a test of the state of mind of an alchemist.
An alchemist’s state of mind was inextricably linked to his alchemy skills. If he couldn’t even refine a grade one pill in such a place, he wouldn’t be considered a qualified alchemist.
There were five hundred alchemists at a time and Li Lingtian’s batch had seven hundred alchemists.
A huge alchemist was not so much an alchemist as a small square.
All the warriors sat on the ground and began to choose the materials. Time was very important in refining pills.
If they exceeded the time limit, they would be eliminated.
Beside Li Lingtian, a young man had a look of disdain on his face. He did not even bother with the other alchemists. Instead, he played with the cauldron in his hand in a leisurely manner.
Li Lingtian watched as the other alchemists began to refine elixirs with a faint smile on his face. He did not seem to mind at all.
It was just a first-grade Essence Cultivating Pill, and it didn’t even take a few minutes.
In the past, he only needed ten minutes to refine a cauldron of Essence Cultivating Pills. Now that his cultivation and Alchemy Dao had improved, he only needed a few minutes to refine Essence Cultivating Pills.
“Humph.”
The young Alchemist snorted softly when he saw that Li Lingtian did not start refining.
His alchemy skills were powerful, so there was naturally no need to be so anxious.
Li Lingtian did not react. Instead, he wore a faint smile on his face as he looked around at the other refining techniques.
This was a rare opportunity. He had never seen anyone refine pills before. Naturally, he would not waste this opportunity.
As the seconds ticked by, Li Lingtian did not start refining the pills.
The young man beside him did not seem to have any intention of making a move. The two of them seemed to be wasting time.
Some alchemists also saw that the two of them did not make a move. On the high platform, on a huge crystal stone, the alchemists could see everything clearly.
They were puzzled when they saw that Li Lingtian and the young man did not make a move.
10 minutes passed, 15 minutes passed.
A trace of anger appeared on the young man’s face. Could it be that this fellow did not want to compete anymore? It had already been fifteen minutes, yet he still did not make a move.
The fastest he could do was 12 minutes.
“Let’s see how long you can last.”
The young man couldn’t hold it in any longer and said coldly. He still had a few minutes to waste. When the time came, he would see how he would be eliminated if he couldn’t refine it. At that time, he would still let him be arrogant.
“Idiot.”
Li Lingtian shot the young man a disdainful look before he spoke coldly.
He didn’t want to go against this young man. In other places, he didn’t dare to say anything, but in alchemy, he really didn’t fear anyone.
” You, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant when you’re eliminated.”
Dongling Hao coldly spoke. A trace of killing intent rose in his heart. He had actually been scolded by this young man. When had the lofty Dongling Hao ever been scolded like this?
Li Lingtian did not say another word. He wanted to see how long this fellow could last.
Time flew by quickly. Eighteen minutes had passed and Dongling Hao could no longer remain calm as he glared at Li Lingtian.
This time was his limit. If he did not make a move now, he would be eliminated this time.
He had already regarded Li Lingtian as someone who had given up on himself. Otherwise, why would he not start refining pills now?
He didn’t believe that there was anyone who could concoct pills faster than him. He snorted coldly and threw the cauldron. The cauldron floated above the Geocentric Flame, and all kinds of medicinal herbs were thrown in.
“Dongling Hao is indeed the genius of the Dongling pill clan. His pill concocting skills are so proficient that he has entered a state of selflessness when concocting pills.”
“Not bad, the Dongling family has another spirit pill master.”
” You dare to make a move after 18 minutes. You’re pretty confident.”
” But that young man didn’t make a move. Is he going to give up?”
“He should have given up.”
“At first, 1 thought that this young man was going to fight with Dongling Hao. So it turns out that he was going to give up.”
For a moment, some of the experts on the high platform discussed with smiles on their faces.
Now that Dongling Hao had made his move but Li Lingtian had not, everyone assumed that Li Lingtian had given up. [I recommend the new book, Ancient Sage Myriad Ancient King.
