47: The second-level viewing area is packed with people, please act like human beings!
“May I still register for the Third-Rank, Fourth-Rank, and Fifth-Rank Competition Areas?”
As the sudden voice rang out, the numerous Alchemists who had just been smiling broadly now wore bitter expressions, unable to voice their grievances.
“I suddenly don’t feel like participating in this competition.”
“That’s right, isn’t this bullying?”
“Why participate in any competition? We’ll just stand by and watch this Alchemy Prodigy. Even if we miss this competition, being able to observe his Alchemy process is a huge Opportunity for us!”
“Fellow Daoist, we’re thinking the same thing.”
“……”
Almost the instant Lin Yan’s words fell, many Alchemists who had originally changed their registration to the Third-Rank Competition Area voluntarily withdrew.
After withdrawing, these individuals quickly went to the Second-Rank Competition Area to snatch the best viewing spots.
“Fellow Daoists, why are you all withdrawing? This is a once-in-a-decade competition! What a rare Opportunity and chance to compete on the same stage with so many Fellow Daoists!”
Some Alchemists who had just arrived at the registration desk, ready to sign up, looked at the crowd withdrawing and were utterly bewildered. Some even tried to persuade them.
“Heh heh, Fellow Daoist, you jest. Compared to Alchemy, I prefer to cheer for you all from the sidelines!”
The Alchemist who successfully withdrew casually spun a few lies, then quickly went to the Second-Rank viewing area to snatch the best spot.
“Cheer from the sidelines? Are you out of your mind?”
The many Alchemists who had just arrived to register shook their heads, then didn’t bother to pay them any mind, after all, one less person meant one less competitor.
However, at the Second-Rank Competition Area, the competition had not yet begun, but the viewing area was already packed with people. Looking around, one could see that all the observers were uniformly dressed in Alchemist robes, clearly all Alchemists.
“You better watch it, this spot was taken by this Senior first!”
“Get lost! This spot is reserved by this Senior for a friend!”
“Fellow Daoist, that’s too much, occupying three spots!”
“This Senior Sister has remembered you. Taking advantage of the crowd to take advantage of me, huh? When the competition ends, let’s settle this outside the city!”
“Damn it, these shameless Alchemists, instead of participating in the competition properly, they’ve all run to the Second-Rank viewing area? Be a person!”
“……”
The chaotic and noisy viewing area of the Second-Rank Competition Area quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
However, when they saw that the viewing area was entirely filled with Alchemists, everyone was stunned on the spot.
“Are these Alchemists out of their minds? Why aren’t they properly participating in the competition, and instead, all ran to the Second-Rank viewing area?”
“Damn it, I was going to watch Senior Sister’s exciting competition, but the Second-Rank viewing area can’t even fit a single mouse!”
.......
“According to the rules, one person can simultaneously register for competition areas above their Rank assessment.”
“However, are you sure you want to register for the latter three competition areas? If your Alchemy skill is insufficient, not only will you not receive any rewards, but you will also lose face under the observation of so many people!”
The person in charge looked at Lin Yan seriously and said, after all, an Alchemist who could refine perfect-grade Medicinal Pills was a one-in-a-million Prodigy.
Such people are usually extremely arrogant, and Lin Yan was so young. If he were to suffer a setback, he might never recover, and in that case, wouldn’t the Alchemy world lose a perfect-grade Alchemist?
Not only the person in charge, but even Dan Xuanzi, who was leading the way, looked at Lin Yan with a worried expression and said.
“Alchemist Lin, you only need to register for one more Third-Rank Competition Area. The Fourth-Rank and Fifth-Rank Competition Areas are not that simple!”
Clearly, Dan Xuanzi believed that for Lin Yan to reach the level of a Third-Rank Alchemist at his age was already extremely Heaven-Defying.
As for Fourth-Rank and Fifth-Rank, he shouldn’t even think about it!
Only Fang Ming, behind Lin Yan, had a smile on his face and said nothing.
His Disciple could even refine a Late Stage Fourth-Rank Three-Colored Qingling Pill with Ten Pill Mark, so why would he be afraid of opponents in the Fourth-Rank and Fifth-Rank Competition Areas?
Lin Yan naturally knew their good intentions, but he still smiled and said.
“Dan Xuanzi Senior, rest assured, this Disciple knows his limits!”
Seeing that Lin Yan’s mind was set, Dan Xuanzi could say no more and only instructed the person in charge to register Lin Yan for the latter three competition areas.
“Alas, I hope this competition can teach Alchemist Lin a lesson!”
“……”
“Now announcing the competition Medicinal Pills for each competition area!”
“Second-Rank Competition Area, Congenital Pill!”
“Third-Rank Competition Area, Foundation Establishment Pill!”
“Fourth-Rank Competition Area, Spirit Accumulation Pill!”
“Fifth-Rank Competition Area, Life-Prolonging and Bone-Regenerating Pill!”
“The competition rules remain unchanged. Each participant has three opportunities for Alchemy!”
“Since the time it takes for each Alchemist to refine a Medicinal Pill varies, this competition will last for seven days!”
“After seven days, regardless of success or failure, the competition will end! At that time, the winner will be determined based on the quality of each person’s Medicinal Pill!”
“This Elder announces that this session of the Alchemy Competition has now begun!”
A sudden voice came, immediately causing everyone’s gaze to gather on an old man in an Alchemist robe high in the sky.
“Indeed, except for the Fifth-Rank Competition Area, all other competition areas are for the most basic Medicinal Pills!”
“Although they are the most basic Medicinal Pills, this means the competition will be fierce!”
“That’s right, this way, the advantage of high-Rank Alchemists becomes very small!”
“……”
The moment the Nascent Soul Elder of the Northern Border Alchemist Association finished speaking, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the crowd below.
At the same time, Lin Yan and Liu Mei also arrived at the Second-Rank Competition Area, found an Alchemy platform, and began to refine the Congenital Pill!
“They’re here, they’re here! The Alchemist who can refine perfect-grade Medicinal Pills is here!”
“I didn’t expect him to be so young. He is truly blessed by the heavens!”
As soon as Lin Yan appeared in the Second-Rank Competition Area, he caused a stir among the many Alchemists who had been waiting for a long time in the viewing area.
Buzz!
Lin Yan wasted no words, directly conjuring his Dan Fire and Pill Furnace, then threw all the Spirit materials for refining the Congenital Pill into the Dan Fire, beginning to melt and purify them!
“What’s going on? Why is he melting and purifying all the Spirit materials at once? Doesn’t he fear failure?”
However, Lin Yan’s first step in Alchemy directly bewildered the many Alchemists in the viewing area, as melting and purifying all Spirit materials at once was something universally acknowledged in the Alchemy world as almost impossible to achieve.
“Hiss! Wait! Didn’t you notice? Although this person is melting and purifying all the Spirit materials at once, there isn’t a single bit of wasted medicinal property. Instead, it gives one an extremely smooth and perfect feeling!”
“It’s as if the Spirit materials are obeying his commands, and all steps are performed to a perfect level!”
Gradually, the Alchemists occupying the best positions in the viewing area couldn’t help but let out gasps of admiration!
It was their first time witnessing such perfect means of purifying medicinal liquids.
Immediately after, some people with high Comprehension Ability became thoughtful and fell into deep contemplation.
“Hey, hey! Those in front, what’s going on? Why are you all gasping for air? Are you cold? If you’re cold, you can give up your spots!”
At this moment, the Alchemists in the back of the viewing area, seeing everyone in front letting out exclamations, were extremely anxious.
Especially when they saw that some people had directly entered a state of Epiphany, they were so envious their faces turned green!
“Damn it, it hasn’t been long since Alchemy began, and someone has already entered a state of Epiphany. It’s enough to make one die of envy!”
“……”
