195: Qingxuan Medicine Sect? All expenses are paid by the sect? !

As Dan Ding's words rang out, the passion of the crowd below was ignited.

"Yin Xiaotong! Yin Xiaotong! Yin Xiaotong!!!"

Countless Alchemists frantically shouted Yin Xiaotong's name. Through this Pill Conference, the vast majority of Alchemists had come to view Yin Xiaotong as their lifelong role model!

They usually only achieved 50% or 60% success in Alchemy, and even in their dreams, they only dared to dream of 70% or 80%.

Refining Medicinal Pills with 90% efficacy? It was truly unimaginable!

And now, at this incredibly important Pill Conference, someone had achieved that goal!

It was clear to see what level of prestige Yin Xiaotong had reached in the hearts of the younger generation!

"Everyone quiet down, next is the award ceremony!"

Dan Ding's voice rang out again.

Alchemists from 30th to 100th place received a Grade 7 Medicinal Pill, which could only be refined by a Grandmaster of the Dao of Pills and was of extraordinary value!

Any one of these, if taken to an auction, would fetch a sky-high price, but it was unlikely anyone would be foolish enough to auction them off. After all, selling was easy, but buying would be difficult.

The reward for 10th to 30th place was a Grade 8 Medicinal Pill, and when people received the Medicinal Pill, their hands trembled slightly...

These were already the most top-tier Medicinal Pills in Danling State!

The reward for 4th to 10th place was a Grade 8 Low-Grade Pill Formula.

The value of a Pill Formula far exceeded the value of a Medicinal Pill. If traded, one Pill Formula could at least be exchanged for ten or more Medicinal Pills!

Dan Xiaoya ultimately secured third place. The worth of a Personal Disciple of a Great Grandmaster was indeed not to be underestimated.

Second place surprised many; it was an unremarkable man. He had been unremarkable in the previous stages, but in the final stage, he actually refined a Medicinal Pill with 76% efficacy!

He directly surged to become second place!

First place, naturally, went to Yin Xiaotong.

Their rewards were also Grade 8 Pill Formulas, but Dan Xiaoya received a Grade 8 Ultimate Pill Formula, while the second-place winner received a Grade 8 Advanced Pill Formula.

Yin Xiaotong, on the other hand, received a Grade 8 Top-Grade Pill Formula!

As Yin Xiaotong received the Pill Formula, countless gazes filled with extreme envy came from below.

The rewards for first place in previous Pill Conferences shouldn't have been this generous... How could this time's reward be a Grade 8 Top-Grade Pill Formula?!

......

After the award ceremony concluded, the highly anticipated Disciple recruitment phase, greatly valued by all Sects, began.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Alchemists all walked onto the competition stage. At the same time, some Alchemy Sects, other than the Three Great Sects, also appeared in mid-air.

The method of recruiting Disciples at the Pill Conference was simple: any Sect that favored a Disciple could distribute their Sect's token to them. Those who received a token could choose to join that Sect.

However, these tokens were not distributed indefinitely. For example, Miao Dan Sect only planned to recruit one thousand Disciples this time, so they would only distribute one thousand tokens!

If someone received a token but did not choose Miao Dan Sect, it meant that their spot would be permanently lost.

This was the principle of 'better to have too few than too many'.

Therefore, the people of the Three Great Sects generally had a tacit understanding when choosing Disciples. If one side chose someone, the other side would generally not distribute a token again, unless they very much desired that Disciple.

Those outside the Three Great Sects had to be even more cautious. When choosing Disciples, they could not be too strong, nor too weak.

Too strong and they were easily snatched by the Three Great Sects; too weak was also unsuitable. So, this was also a test, because the Disciples were chosen by them first!

Of course, the top hundred Alchemists had the power to choose any Sect they wished, and no Sect would give them a token.

Tens of thousands of Alchemists stood on the field, and most of them felt a little uneasy in their hearts. They didn't know if they could enter an Alchemy Sect.

If it was one of the Three Great Sects, that would naturally be best. If not, surely a slightly lesser Sect would take me?

If they worked so hard to participate in the Pill Conference but no one wanted them, then the future Dao of Pills would be difficult to walk...

At this moment, a tense atmosphere permeated and spread throughout the entire stage.

From the position of the Water Yuan Sect, one person flew out first.

The Water Yuan Sect Sect Master first scattered three thousand tokens, which landed in the hands of different people. Among the first thousand, only one received a token from the Water Yuan Sect.

The Water Yuan Sect Sect Master specifically chose someone among the top thousand who seemed less prominent, and promised that person some benefits within the token, hoping to win over this Disciple.

"Water Yuan Sect! This is also a famous Alchemy Sect in Danling State! It's second only to the Three Great Sects!"

"I can actually enter the Water Yuan Sect!"

"No rush, no rush, let's wait a bit. What if, what if the Three Great Sects also take a liking to me?"

......

Various Sects scattered their tokens, and for a time, there was both joy and sorrow.

After a period of time, it was finally the turn of the Three Great Sects!

The three Sect Masters stepped forward simultaneously, and with a wave of their hands, three thousand tokens fell into the hands of different Alchemists, with very few duplicates.

"Ah!!! I received it! I actually received a token from one of the Three Great Sects! Let me see, Ancient Pill Sect! It's Ancient Pill Sect! Hahaha, to hell with your Water Yuan Sect, I'm going to the Three Great Sects!"

"Ah ah ah!!! Why didn't I receive one... Is my talent really that bad!! Ah ah ah!!!"

......

Yin Xiaotong, as the first-place winner, did not receive any tokens!

Everyone present believed that Yin Xiaotong must already have a master, and at least a Grandmaster Alchemist!

Therefore, there was no need to waste a Disciple spot on Yin Xiaotong. Some Great Grandmaster Alchemists had already made their plans.

After the Pill Conference ended, they would personally try to recruit Yin Xiaotong as their Personal Disciple.

Dan Ding saw that all Sects had finished distributing their tokens and many contestants had received theirs, so he once again rose into the air and said:

"This Pill Conference concludes here..."

"Wait!"

Lu Hao, seeing the Pill Conference nearing its end, finally spoke.

Dan Ding, seeing someone speak, immediately turned his head to look:

"Hmm? You are...? Lu Hao!!"

Dan Xiaoya also noticed Lu Hao and Lu Xiaolong beside him, and happily shouted:

"Brother Lu Hao, Little Dragon Brother!!"

Yin Xiaotong, seeing Lu Hao speak, also loudly shouted:

"Master!"

In fact, when Dan Ding and Dan Xiaoya first spoke, everyone wasn't too surprised; they merely knew the Sect Master of the Ancient Pill Sect, which was nothing remarkable.

But when Yin Xiaotong spoke, calling him Master, for a moment, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone's eyes rapidly converged on Lu Hao.

"This is Yin Xiaotong's Master? So young? He doesn't seem much older than Yin Xiaotong, does he? How could he teach such an excellent Disciple?"

"Yin Xiaotong's Master is actually him? He doesn't look particularly special, does he?"

Of course, compared to these questioning remarks, more people were sighing:

"How did he teach such an outstanding Disciple? Could this person have some special methods?"

"There's always someone better out there... We are truly ashamed of ourselves!"

Lu Hao ignored these words. He slowly stepped forward and walked in front of Dan Ding.

Dan Ding asked in confusion:

"Little Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Hao chuckled and said to the audience and the surrounding Alchemists:

"Everyone, Yin Xiaotong is my Disciple. I believe everyone has witnessed her excellence."

"The reason I let her participate in the Pill Conference was, first, for her to gain experience, and second, to promote my Qingxuan Medicine Sect for recruiting Disciples!"

"Here, I officially announce that the Qingxuan Medicine Sect officially begins recruiting Disciples today. All Alchemy expenses for Disciples who enter my Sect will be fully borne by my Sect!"

"And I promise that the Sect will provide sufficient medicinal ingredients for Disciples to use in Alchemy."

"If anyone performs exceptionally, I can also personally provide guidance!"

"The Sect will only recruit ten thousand Disciples. If you are interested, everyone should seize the opportunity to sign up."

As Lu Hao's words continuously spread, the crowd below was completely silent.

Qingxuan Medicine Sect? What Sect? Never even heard of it??

However, the clause that all Alchemy expenses would be fully borne by the Sect attracted countless Alchemists!
