103: All parties gathered

Great Wu Empire.

The Alchemy Competition!

It began today.

On this day!

It attracted all the Alchemists from within the Empire, and even Alchemists from outside the Empire, who all rushed over.

The reason so many Alchemists rushed over was no other than the incredibly generous rewards of this Alchemy Competition.

Whoever wins the championship will be able to marry the Empire's Number One Female Pill King!

It is rumored that the Female Pill King is not only beautiful but also possesses profound Alchemy skills!

Who wouldn't want to marry such a Female Pill King?

Empire!

Within the Imperial City!

On a massive plaza capable of accommodating a million spectators.

At this time, the audience on the surrounding seats were all prominent and influential individuals from various parts of the Empire.

Among them were many high-ranking officials, noble families, and powerful scions.

They were dressed in luxurious attire and adorned with precious jewels, showcasing their noble status and wealth.

These people gathered here not only to watch the competition but also to display their power and status, and to network with other influential figures.

In this setting, everyone hoped to enhance their influence within the Empire through their performance and social activities.

"This Alchemy Competition, we can certainly feast our eyes!"

"Indeed! It's said that not only Alchemists from within the Empire but also those from outside the Empire will be coming."

"This is my first time watching an Alchemist competition, so it's a good chance to broaden my horizons."

"Our clan lacks Alchemists; after the competition, we'll select a few Alchemists to become our clan's revered members!"

"..."

The audience in the seats discussed continuously.

And during their discussion.

A figure entered first!

An elderly man, with a stooped back and a prominent, toad-like lump on his back, stood out remarkably.

His name is Toad Old Freak!

He is an Alchemist who lived in seclusion in the mountains!

Years ago, he was obsessed with refining highly toxic Medicinal Pills. Due to a Pill Furnace explosion mid-process, he became contaminated with various toxins, making his entire body resemble a toad, extremely unsightly and ugly!

His Alchemy Rank reached Fourth-Grade Alchemist!

"Greetings, everyone, long time no see."

"Do you still remember this old man?"

Alchemist Toad Old Freak spoke with a sinister voice.

"It's Toad Old Freak! Ever since the Alchemy accident, he's been in the ruins of the mountains for hundreds of years!"

"Who would have thought!"

"Today's Alchemy competition attracted him as well!"

Some of the audience who recognized Toad Old Freak couldn't help but exclaim.

"This old man has admired the Female Pill King for a long time!"

"I hope you all will yield the Female Pill King to this old man!"

Toad Old Freak said with a sinister laugh.

The beauty of the Empire's Number One Female Pill King was renowned for captivating fish and birds, and overthrowing nations.

No one could remain unmoved by her.

Just then.

A disdainful, mocking voice suddenly came.

"You old toad, still dreaming of eating swan meat!"

"Why don't you go take a piss and look at yourself properly? Are you worthy?"

The speaker flew through the air!

He was middle-aged, with a Medicine Cauldron suspended in his palm, from which wafted waves of Medicinal Pill fragrance.

His expression was incredibly arrogant, not putting Toad Old Freak in his eyes at all!

He was Drug Tray Ding, the Sect Head of the Medicine Sect in the Great Wu Empire!

His Alchemy Rank was also Fourth-Grade Alchemist!

"Damn it!"

"You, Drug Tray Ding, what are you so arrogant about!"

"If this old man hadn't failed midway back then, I would have already advanced to Fifth-Rank Alchemist!"

"How dare you speak to this old man like that? I really want to poison you!"

Toad Old Freak's ugly, lumpy old face was filled with immense anger as he glared at Drug Tray Ding!

"Hehe~"

"As expected of the old toad, his temper is certainly fiery!"

Drug Tray Ding said with a playful expression.

And at this moment!

A beautiful figure dressed in red descended into the arena!

Both her appearance and figure were undeniably stunning.

She was Pharmacist Hong Su, from outside the Great Wu Empire!

Her name is Red Su!

"How lively!"

"I wonder when the Great Wu Empire's Female Pill King will appear?"

"I heard she's incredibly beautiful!"

"If I win, I'll marry her!"

"And make her my little wife!"

"Hehe~"

A fujoshi smile appeared on Pharmacist Hong Su's pretty face.

Although she was a woman!

In her opinion!

Who said a woman couldn't marry another woman?

That's why she traveled thousands of miles to the Great Wu Empire, all for the sake of winning the Alchemy competition.

And Red Su was also a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

Toad Old Freak and Drug Tray Ding, who had been arguing, both quieted down and looked at Pharmacist Hong Su, who came from outside the Empire.

"This woman's Soul Power is quite strong!"

"Although she appears foolish and naive on the surface, she is not simple at all!"

Toad Old Freak's heart grew serious.

"This woman comes from outside the Empire!"

"It seems she is very confident in her Alchemy skills!"

Drug Tray Ding secretly observed.

Then thousands more Alchemists entered the arena.

They all observed Red Su, some viewing her with gravity, others with disdain.

In short!

Thousands of Alchemists had already gathered in the arena!

Among them, the most famous were Toad Old Freak, the Sect Head of the Medicine Sect, and Pharmacist Hong Su from outside the Empire!

At the same time!

Villain Alchemist Liu Feng, who had no habit of arriving early, arrived late as usual.

"Boom!"

Only heard!

A rumbling, deafening roar echoed above everyone's heads in the Void Realm.

Everyone looked up.

They saw nine fierce and colossal Dragons pulling a magnificent, palace-like Immortal Carriage, slowly approaching.

Finally!

The Nine Dragon Immortal Carriage hovered in the Void Realm.

This domineering and grand entrance attracted the attention of countless people in the arena.

"This seems to be Young Valley Master Liu Feng's mount from Medicine God Valley!"

"Holy crap! This entrance is absolutely spectacular!"

"As expected of Medicine God Valley, their heritage is truly profound!"

"This way of entering is truly cool and awesome!"

"So cool!"

"..."

The people in the arena were discussing non-stop.

Immediately after.

The stunning female sword immortal, habitually holding her beloved sword, lifted the curtain for her husband Liu Feng, allowing him to leisurely emerge.

Liu Feng leisurely fanned himself, his bright eyes sweeping over the thousands of Alchemists who had arrived early below.

With just a glance, he easily saw.

Among the thousands of Alchemists below, the strongest were Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

The weakest were Two-Rank Alchemists.

His presence as an Eighth-Rank Alchemist in this competition was a complete dimensionality reduction strike.

"Medicine God Valley is highly skilled in Alchemy!"

"Now that Young Valley Master Liu Feng has come, we're probably going to face a formidable opponent in this Alchemy competition!"

The thousands of Alchemists in the arena all looked at Liu Feng with serious expressions, saying that they found him difficult to deal with.

Medicine God Valley is exceptionally proficient in Alchemy!

As the Young Valley Master, how could Liu Feng be weak?
