93: Finish

He can be considered excellent.

Even Wang Dong, when he noticed this scene, nodded in approval.

Just his fire control and technique alone made him stand out compared to other Alchemists.

But it's not surprising.

His teacher was Venerable Shenyao.

It was normal for the most renowned Alchemist in this area to have such superb Alchemy skills.

What's more, Wang Yan also possessed the Ancient Forest Cold Flame.

Winning this Alchemy Grand Competition should not be difficult.

Soon, the first round of selections ended.

After the judgment of the Four Grand Elders, nearly half of the people left dejectedly.

And Wang Yan, naturally, advanced to the next round without any doubt.

Next was the second round.

The difficulty began to skyrocket.

It required refining an Earth-Grade Medicinal Pill.

Many Alchemists showed bitter expressions.

Furthermore, how to approach the efficacy was already a question that needed to be considered.

However, Wang Yan remained expressionless and composed.

After only a brief thought, he began to add Spiritual Plants into the cauldron.

It didn't take long.

But others were not so relaxed.

In a short time, a series of explosions continuously rang out in the square.

These Alchemists, unable to control the heat, had their cauldrons explode.

The Pill Cauldrons burst open, and the people also suffered considerable injuries.

Under these circumstances, they could no longer continue participating and were forced to leave in a sorry state.

The number of people on the field became fewer and fewer.

By the time it ended, there were fewer than 40 Alchemists remaining.

Subsequently, the Elders of the Four Alchemy Sects began their inspection.

"The color is dull, a waste pill, unqualified."

"The color is good, but the medicinal effect is lost, unqualified."

"The medicinal effect in the orange color is Low Grade, barely qualified as a Low Grade Earth-Grade."

...A series of judgmental voices rang out.

Clearly, many people shook their heads.

This time, the standards were indeed strict.

But just then, an Elder suddenly exclaimed.

"It's actually perfect in color, perfect in medicinal effect, a top-grade Medicinal Pill, and an Earth-Grade top-grade at that!"

Everyone was attracted by the sound and looked over.

Immediately after, they noticed Wang Yan, dressed in a black robe, standing there.

They all showed expressions of incredible shock.

"Is this a top-grade Earth-Grade Medicinal Pill that was re-deduced based on the Pill Formula?"

"What is this? A Prodigy?"

"And he looks so young, only around 20 years old. He's probably the closed-door Disciple of some Alchemy Great Master."

"Are you only focusing on his Alchemy? Did anyone else notice his Cultivation?"

"He's even a Grotto-Heaven True Lord."

A series of shocked voices continuously echoed in the square.

Finally, after inspection by several Alchemy Elders.

Only 10 people successfully entered the final round.

And the Pill Formula for the final round was a Heaven-Grade Medicinal Pill.

This time, the difficulty increased geometrically once again.

This made several Alchemists smile bitterly.

In the end, they could only dejectedly announce their withdrawal.

After all, Alchemy is not a small matter.

If one forces it without the ability, the only result will be an exploded cauldron.

It might even injure oneself.

There was absolutely no need for that.

Soon, only a few Alchemists remained and began their Alchemy.

An hour later.

The competition ended.

Only 4 people successfully formed a pill.

The rest either had exploded cauldrons or produced dark, useless pills.

"Dull color, unqualified."

"Medium color, acceptable."

"Superior color, perfect medicinal effect, qualified."

"The first place in this Alchemy Grand Competition goes to Wang Yan."

...A series of cheers resonated throughout the venue.

Countless Cultivators looked over, their eyes filled with envy, shock, and wonder.

Clearly, Wang Yan had brought them too much astonishment.

Although the Alchemy Grand Competition did not have age restrictions,

the winners were often older Cultivators.

But this time, it was someone who was only 20 years old, yet capable of refining a Heaven-Grade Medicinal Pill.

He was even a Cultivator of the Dongtian Realm himself.

Compared to the Four Alchemy Elders present, his Alchemy skills were not inferior in the slightest.

He even had a slight advantage in Cultivation.

Given time, he would undoubtedly become an Alchemy Grandmaster.

His talent was too astonishing.

Not just in Alchemy.

But Wang Yan didn't care about these discussions at all.

He just looked at the Blood Refinement Grass with excited eyes.

Then he looked towards the audience seats.

"Well done."

Wang Dong did not stint on praise, smiling and nodding.

"Brother Wang, is this only 'well done'? If it were me, I would be cultivating him as an heir."

The King of Wu Zhou said with a bitter smile.

Then he continued to add.

"Such a Genius has boundless prospects. Perhaps in a few years, there will be no need to travel so far to buy Medicinal Pills. By then, you can just buy them directly from his Family."

"Haha, Your Majesty jests."

Wang Dong said with a smile.

Back at the square.

The Alchemists who placed in the top 4 began to receive their rewards.

At this moment.

The City Lord of Tianxing City flashed and appeared beside Wang Dong.

He spoke up.

"Young friend, your Alchemy is superb. I wonder if you are interested in becoming a Guest Elder of my Tianxing City?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many Cultivators showed unusual expressions.

Indeed, the status of an Alchemist is extraordinary.

They are popular wherever they go.

Now even a Venerable of the Divine Fire Realm personally invited him.

It was enough to show his extraordinary status.

Wang Yan cupped his hands to him and said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"My apologies, I appreciate your kind intentions."

"I am accustomed to being leisurely and do not wish to join any force for now."

"Is that so? Well then, if you ever wish to join, you can find me anytime."

The City Lord of Tianxing City's tone was a little disappointed.

However, he did not say much more, but returned to his seat.

Subsequently, the Elders of the Alchemy Sect also began to rise.

They announced that the sale of Medicinal Pills could begin.

And at an 80% discount off the normal market price.

Immediately, the scene erupted in a commotion.

Then everyone began to surge forward.

"Brother Wang, it has already started, let's go over too."

The King of Wu Zhou said with a smile at this moment.

Then he rose.

Wang Dong looked at the long queue of people in front of him.

He pondered for a moment.

If they were to queue up, it would probably take two or three days to get to the front.

"There are too many people, and my Family has some matters to attend to. I won't be buying this time, Your Majesty, you go ahead."

The King of Wu Zhou immediately understood upon seeing this.

He had an excellent Alchemist within his own Family.

There was no need to purchase Medicinal Pills at all.

He could just buy some Spiritual Plant Materials directly.

He, on the other hand, had been overthinking it a bit.

Helplessly, the King of Wu Zhou gave a bitter smile.

"In that case, Brother Wang, please go ahead. When I return later, I will certainly visit your home."

"Good."

Wang Dong cupped his hands in farewell, then left with Wang Yan.
