290: C290 Competition Start

C290 Competition Start

Soon, it was the day of the Alchemy Competition.

On this day, almost everyone in Heavenly Star City who was interested in alchemy rushed to the plaza where the competition was being held.

The square, which was more than ten acres wide, was packed with people.

The competition was carried out by the round kung fu stage with a diameter of 33 meters in the center of the plaza.

The two people presiding over the competition this time were the instructors, Kong Zhi and Dong Jianwu. Other than the two of them, the other six instructors and the President of Alchemists Union were also seated on the kung fu stage.

Of course, there were also some grandmaster level alchemists from other factions who were invited to the stage in order to ensure that this competition would be conducted under a fair environment.

Seated at the very front of the stage were the important people who were watching the competition.

There were a total of 67 people who participated in this competition, and they were all young geniuses that obtained the qualifications to be third rate alchemists.

The reason why there were so few people was naturally because it was really too difficult to become a third tier alchemist. Otherwise, there would definitely not be so few people participating.

Although the crowd was small, these sixty-seven people were without a doubt the most powerful alchemists of the Central Region's younger generation. Thus, the process and results of the competition were very interesting.

When it was time to compete, Dong Jianwu first went to the front of the kung fu stage, looked around, and said loudly, "The Pill Refining Competition is about to begin, I will first announce the rewards of this competition, other than the prizes that have already been announced, there is also the most important reward, and that is to get the first place to read the's Treasure Ten Thousand Medicine List."

News like this had already spread out, but this was the first time the majority of the audience had heard of it. For a moment, the entire audience was in an uproar.

They knew the importance of the Alchemy List to the Alchemists Union. They knew how worth the reward of the Alchemy List being first place.

Those alchemists who didn't have the qualifications to participate in the competition were naturally filled with regret, regretting that they didn't work as hard as they could. Otherwise, they would have had the opportunity to enter the arena and then take first place, gaining the qualifications to read the tens of thousands of medicinal herbs.

"Alright, let the competition begin. All young talents participating in the competition, please come up onto the stage."

As Dong Jianwu's voice fell, the sixty-seven young men and women who were participating in the tournament walked up to the kung fu stage one after another.

There were sixty-seven tables on kung fu stage, and on each table, there was a small cauldron and pill refining ingredients.

After Lin Long stopped in front of one of the tables, Lin Shiyin walked past him and said softly, "Lin Gongzi, do your best!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Shiyin continued to walk forward with a bashful expression, and stopped at a table beside Lin Long.

"Shiyin, you can do it!" Lin Long said as well.

Standing on such a kung fu stage, the small movements of the two were naturally seen by many people below the stage. These people were naturally envious of Lin Long, after all, other than his appearance, Lin Shiyin was also a powerful alchemist.

Not long after, a person walked past Lin Long and stopped by his side as well.

This man was tall and had an average appearance. However, he was the most dazzling person in the entire Heavenly Star City, because he was Alchemists Union's most powerful young generation's most powerful alchemist, Gu Qi.

"You must be Lin Long. I hope you work steadily and do not play tricks on me." After leaving behind such senseless words, Gu Qi continued to walk forward, and then stood in front of the table next to Lin Shiyin.

was not surprised by the other party saying such words, because the teacher that Gu Qi followed had a good relationship with, and the reason was because the relationship between the instructors did not like Lin Long.

Gu Qi naturally did not take such a threat to heart, but Lin Shiyin, who was at the side, looked at Lin Long worriedly.

Lin Long smiled at her, hinting her not to worry.

At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from behind, "I hope you can persevere until the next round. Only then will I be able to step on you!"

"I hope so." Lin Long smiled faintly.

He did not know who he was, nor did he know how he had offended him.

Of course, he wouldn't put the other party in his eyes. In fact, he didn't even bother to turn his head to look at him.

As his line of sight unintentionally stopped at a certain spot below the stage, a smile appeared on Lin Long's face, because at that place his gaze stopped at, there was a person staring at him with eyes filled with rage and unwillingness.

This person was Liu Jingtong. Originally, he was able to participate in this competition, but because his vitals had not recovered yet, he could only helplessly give up. After combining all of these factors, Liu Jingtong's hatred towards him became even deeper.

The sixty-seven tables on the stage were divided into eight rows, and only after everyone was standing behind one table did Dong Jianwu continue speaking.

"Next, I shall announce the rules of this competition."

"There are no rules for how many rounds are to be carried out in this competition. As long as the final winner is not decided, the competition will continue."

"The first round of the competition is about refining a Grade Three Luocheng Pill. As long as you use the materials on the stage to refine a Grade Three Luocheng Pill, you will be able to enter the next round."

"What, a Grade Three Luocheng Pill?"

"This Luo Cheng Pill is an extremely easy pill to concoct out of Tier 3 pills. Why would it be used to test the results of this competition?"

"In my opinion, all 67 people will be able to make it into the next round."

"Even I can successfully refine this Grade Three Luo Cheng Pill."

The moment Dong Jianwu said these words, the people below the stage all started to shake their heads, expressing their confusion at the fact that the instructors in the Alchemists Union had used this third stage Luo Cheng Pill to undergo the examination.

In their eyes, this was simply a waste of time. There was no point in having a match like this.

However, they quickly quieted down because they noticed that the youths participating in the competition all had unsightly expressions on their faces.

Could there be a difference? This thought immediately emerged in their minds.

"Maybe a lot of people at the scene thought that this Grade Three Luoluo Elixir was very ordinary and was very easy to refine, but it wasn't, because the materials given at the scene had some changes from the ordinary materials. Normally, refining a Grade Three Luoluo Elixir requires Xia Xin Grass, but instead of Xia Xin Grass, the materials given at the scene gave three different materials instead."

"However, you don't have to worry about the method to concoct a grade-3 pill using new materials. This is because our Alchemists Union's Yu Cheng and master had just discovered a method to concoct a grade-3 pill yesterday, and only revealed it this morning. Only a few people know that the masters behind me can prove this point."

After Dong Jianwu finished speaking, the grandmaster level alchemists behind him all stood up and nodded to show that Dong Jianwu was right.

Yu Cheng and his teacher was an extremely strict and upright teacher in the Alchemists Union. His seriousness and righteousness had already earned the recognition of the alchemists in the central region, not to mention that there were many master alchemists present who had proven that Dong Jianwu was right.

As a result, no one doubted Dong Jianwu's words, and they all praised the new competition method that was Alchemists Union.

After all, this was the best way to train an alchemist. If it was an immutable competition, then it would be easy to restrict the alchemist's ability to think.

"Teacher Dong only said three materials. He didn't say whether all three materials should be used or just one of them. There's going to be a good show this time."

Everyone below the stage was filled with anticipation.

"Alright, let the match begin!" With Dong Jianwu's announcement, the round of the competition officially began.

Even though the match was announced, no one moved at all. No one dared to act rashly, and they were all racking their brains to decide which materials to use or which ones to use.

After all, they only had three sets of materials, so they didn't dare to give it a try. If they wasted all the materials, they would be eliminated.

Only after a long time had passed did someone start fighting. This was an unknown youth.

Everyone thought that Gu Qi, a famous person, would be the first one to make a move, they never expected that it would actually be such a young man.

As for the top ten rankers of this competition, everyone had a candidate in mind, someone like Gu Qi, who would definitely be able to enter the top ten. The Lin Family's Lin Shiyin, Liu Family's Li Cheng, and Alchemists Union's Zhang Mo Ran, as well as the Yi Yi Sect's Huang Yuan, were all on the list.

Of course, other than these people, it would not be a surprise if a dark horse appeared. After all, the central region was huge, so there were definitely people that had yet to reveal themselves.

However, the young man who made the first move quickly made Everyone at the scene laugh, because before he could even start refining the pill with fire, a ball of black smoke emerged from the small cauldron.2

It seemed that he would not be able to concoct this Grade Three Luocheng Pill first.

Soon after, more people began to try, but they all quickly failed. After their failures, these people became more cautious. After all, there weren't many materials that could be wasted on them.

After a large number of failures, there was a short period of silence on the kung fu stage.

After that, another quarter of an hour passed. Quite a few people tried, but none of them succeeded.

What surprised Everyone at the scene was that in such a long time, Gu Qi and the rest of the Rankers did not make a move.

Those with sharp eyes quickly noticed something. There seemed to be some disharmony in the entire competition. This was because almost everyone was thinking hard. Only one person appeared to be bored out of his mind.

He was bored to the point of dragging a certain material around the table.

"Motherf * cker, are you an alchemist or not? Don't you know that it's the Sky Star Vine? How are you going to concoct a Grade Three Luoluo Elixir when the juice is completely destroyed?"

"It's better for me to go up than for this kid."

"It's obvious that I don't know how to concoct this Grade Three Luocheng Pill, and am afraid of losing face soon, so I could only use the Heavenly Star Vine to play."

Many people in the audience were discussing softly, those who recognized the young man were stunned, because the young man was obviously the Lin Long whose name had recently "shaken up" the Heavenly Star City.

Was such a person that bad?

Liu Jingtong, who had been staring at Lin Long the entire time, was grinning from ear to ear. The less Lin Long performed on the stage, the happier he would be.

Idiot, if you don't have strength, don't embarrass yourself! Liu Jingtong disdained in his heart.

At this moment, he really didn't understand how he could have lost to her that day.
