Chapter 397 Alchemist Competition
The Alchemist Competition held by the Alchemist Guild can be considered one of the major events in Fanglai Kingdom. Regardless of which faction they belong to, as long as they are alchemists, they all want to make a name for themselves in the Alchemist Competition.
The champion of the alchemist competition will become a national celebrity and rise rapidly in rank.
Therefore, even some alchemists from the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion would participate in the alchemist competition.
Each competition attracts a large number of alchemists.
To ensure the smooth running of the competition, the first three rounds adopted a preliminary selection system, with alchemists from more than a dozen arenas competing simultaneously until the final four were selected to participate in the final competition.
There are one hundred alchemists participating in this competition. They will be refining medicines simultaneously in a huge square, and then the top 50 will be selected to enter the second round of the competition.
Such a grand event naturally attracted countless people to come and watch.
The day before the competition, all the guesthouses in the city were already full, and some people even preferred to sleep on the street rather than miss such an exciting event.
……
Early in the morning of the first round of the competition, Leng Yun went to the venue with Cang Cuicui and Li Jiaqi.
Cang Cuicui and Li Jiaqi are top students of the Alchemist Guild, so they naturally have to participate in the competition. Moreover, both of them have good talent and are the favorites in this competition.
Because Pale and Gara were to be the referees, they did not accompany the three young people.
Grand Tutor Pang, however, did not enjoy such festivities and preferred to stay home alone.
The three walked down the street, but the atmosphere was a little off.
"Hmph, senior sister, this time we can finally settle our differences," Li Jiaqi said.
Cang Cuicui sneered, "I wonder if Junior Sister has made any progress lately."
"Don't worry, senior sister, I'm sure I'll win this alchemist competition!" Li Jiaqi said triumphantly.
Cang Cuicui retorted without backing down: "With me here, you're dreaming if you think you can win."
Caught between the two girls, Leng Yun was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that the two girls, who seemed to have a close sisterly relationship, were actually secretly comparing themselves to each other.
This is probably what a superficial friendship looks like.
Just as Leng Yun was lost in thought, Cang Cuicui suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Who do you think will win?"
Before anyone could answer, Li Jiaqi grabbed Leng Yun's arm: "Tell me quickly!"
Leng Yun gave a wry smile: "I don't know either. The two young ladies must be very skilled in alchemy, it's hard to tell who is better."
"Pah!" Cang Cuicui spat. "You little fool, you're definitely not going to be the champion!"
"Exactly! Pretending to be a fifth-grade alchemist, he'll just become a laughingstock." Li Jiaqi said disdainfully.
The two girls, who were just at odds, now turned their anger towards Leng Yun.
Leng Yun smiled and shook his head, then strode quickly toward the arena.
When they arrived at the arena, they found it already packed with people. The dark mass of people completely surrounded the central arena. If it weren't for the special passage, they probably wouldn't have been able to squeeze into the center.
The square is very large, divided into more than fifty areas of varying sizes.
In the first round of the competition, all the alchemists worked together to concoct medicine, with two people per venue.
Because there are so many participants, it's impossible to see them all at a glance, so spectators are free to move around and choose their favorite spot in the square to watch.
With the ringing of a bell, the competition officially began.
Hundreds of alchemists simultaneously took out their alchemy furnaces and began refining pills together.
Such a spectacular sight is probably not commonly seen on ordinary days.
The first round of the competition involved refining a first-grade elixir, which was not complicated.
As soon as the alchemy began, the surrounding audience moved around, looking for their favorite arena. Everyone wanted to see the most skilled alchemist, and a buzz of discussion echoed throughout the square.
Pale and Galo were also among the audience, standing below Leng Yun's arena.
The main reason they wanted to verify at this alchemist conference was whether Leng Yun was a fifth-grade alchemist.
They care even more about the success or failure of their own apprentices.
The competition began, and Leng Yun took out his system alchemy furnace.
In terms of the level of the alchemy furnace alone, Leng Yun has completely surpassed his opponent.
Even Pale and Galo had never seen such a magnificent alchemy furnace.
"Hmm, it seems to be no ordinary item," Pale said.
“Yes, maybe this kid really is a fifth-grade alchemist?” Galo nodded.
"Impossible!" Pale exclaimed, somewhat doubtful.
Immediately afterwards, Leng Yun reached out, and a yellow flame appeared in the alchemy furnace.
Although fusing flames is a fundamental skill that every alchemist must master, flames also have different levels of quality, and Leng Yun's flames are the most superior in the world, the ancestor of all flames.
When Pale and Gara saw the Cold Cloud Flame, they were truly shocked once again.
"This flame feels much stronger!" Pale said.
"Yes, look at the alchemist's flames over there. They seem afraid of Leng Yun's flames," Gara remarked.
"How strange, how really strange!" Pale was becoming more and more puzzled.
He then began refining medicine. Leng Yun casually tossed several medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace, leaving the system to handle the rest.
In fact, alchemy is an extremely meticulous process. Every action and every moment needs to be grasped. Therefore, alchemists generally need to be fully focused and careful when making medicine.
Even high-level alchemists like Cang Bai and Jia Luo didn't dare to be as casual as Leng Yun.
Leng Yun's performance only gave Cang Bai and Jia Luo the impression that Leng Yun was completely incapable of alchemy!
"Hmph!" Pale actually breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it! A fifth-grade alchemist? He doesn't even know the most basics!"
“Exactly, and you’ve made us so tense!” Galo’s face relaxed a lot.
Pale shook his head: "It's just a pity that he had such a good alchemy furnace and flame."
"Haha, let's go, let's check out Cui Cui and Jia Qi's arena," Jia Luo said.
Pale smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, there's nothing to see here. People of this level won't even get past the first round."
Afterwards, the two old men ignored Leng Yun. They believed they had been tricked by Grand Tutor Pang, and a great weight was lifted from their hearts. They slowly walked to the area below the arena where Cang Cuicui and Li Jiaqi were fighting.
The two girls were already eye-catching in appearance, and their alchemy skills were passed down from a famous master, so many people gathered under their arena.
The two of them are more popular than almost all the other arenas combined.
Meanwhile, Leng Yun, unaware of the two old men's thoughts, casually tossed the remaining medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace.
Inside the alchemy furnace, enveloped in yellow flames, the essence of various medicinal herbs was condensing into droplets at an astonishing speed.
