The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 839 - 836 Alchemy Competition
Chapter 839: Chapter 836 Alchemy Competition
The sky was bright.
The Medicine Pavilion was especially lively today, unprecedentedly so.
As for the reason, it was naturally because Ye Xuan was not causing trouble for the Medicine Pavilion anymore.
Additionally, the Medicine Pavilion was holding an unprecedented alchemy contest.
The entire Medicine Pavilion, everyone would participate.
Even the disciples of the lowest status in the Medicine Pavilion could participate.
As dawn broke, in front of the main peak of the Medicine Pavilion, a top talent used their power to pull down the Nine Heavens Cloud, forming a gigantic cloud extending millions of miles.
On top of the giant cloud, various pill furnaces, and alchemy cauldrons were displayed.
On the four sides of the giant cloud, the Supreme Elders of the Medicine Pavilion took charge to guard, while also overseeing the alchemy contest to prevent cheating.
This alchemy contest was personally arranged by the founder Qin Yanbing, and no one dared to act recklessly!
Today, the entire upper echelon of the Medicine Pavilion showed up.
All the ancestors, Supreme Elders, Pavilion Master, Elders, protectors, Hall Masters, and stewards.
Each performing their duties.
It must be said, the Medicine Pavilion is worthy of being the foremost sacred land of alchemists in the East Desolate, its level of execution alone is unmatched by any ordinary sect.
To achieve such a feat overnight can be said to be truly astonishing.
With Pavilion Master Qi Jianqing giving orders, all the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion entered the venue.
One by one, they traveled through the air, some riding their swords, it was quite enjoyable.
The scene was undoubtedly shocking.
From alchemist apprentices to Medicine Kings and even True Disciples of Medicine Emperor level, all participated.
This day, perhaps was the day with the most appearances by alchemists in the entire East Desolate.
Some alchemist apprentices who had just begun cultivation didn’t quite understand the meaning of this alchemy contest, but they vaguely sensed that having so many people participate at once, without even differentiating alchemist levels, was unprecedented.
In the world of alchemy, there has always been a rule that alchemy contests could allow a maximum of competitors spanning three alchemist realms to compete together.
For instance, if the contest was for six-tripod alchemists, then the lowest could only be a five-tripod alchemist, and the highest only a seven-tripod alchemist.
Contests were held among those within three realms.
Of course, more than nine-tripod alchemists were a different matter altogether.
Because the realm division above that is different.
For now, having figures from alchemist apprentices to the level of Medicine Kings and Medicine Emperors all appear, there must be a reason.
Perhaps, this is their opportunity to rise.
Therefore, most people approached this contest very seriously.
Of course, a few disciples felt they were just there for the excitement and didn’t take it too seriously.
But as they ascended that giant cloud and felt the gazes of the Supreme Elders and ancestors from all sides, they couldn’t help but cast aside such thoughts and focus seriously.
Kidding around with so many big shots watching, careless experimentation would surely damage these big shots’ impressions, wouldn’t it?
This included disciples like Yu Hua and He Lei, who were also very nervous.
They never thought that even as outer sect disciples, they would qualify to participate in this alchemy contest.
"Hey, look!" Yu Hua suddenly pointed somewhere.
He Lei and the others followed Yu Hua’s gaze and saw a woman like a fairy flying in, her robes fluttering like an Immortal Lotus blooming, making heaven and earth lose their color as she gracefully descended toward the back of the giant cloud.
This dazzled the alchemist apprentices or errand disciples in the back, making them feel both honored and surprised.
"Whoa, isn’t that the Princess of the Ancient Demon Country? Why is she here too?" Yu Hua, He Lei, and the other people were shocked.
All attention in the field was drawn to this woman.
She was none other than Dugu Jing, the Princess of the Ancient Demon Country.
After Dugu Jing stably landed at the back of the giant cloud, her expression was calm without saying much, silently waiting.
No one expected that Dugu Jing, who had just arrived at the Medicine Pavilion two days ago, would participate in this alchemy contest.
At the forefront of the giant cloud, a group of True Disciples and the Saint Heir Ji Changtian also focused their gaze on Dugu Jing.
Ji Changtian originally wanted Dugu Jing to come to the front, but considering the presence of so many people, and having insider information that this alchemy contest was significant and even represented the future most outstanding alchemist of the Medicine Pavilion, Ji Changtian restrained himself.
One must approach this contest seriously!
With everyone entering the venue, all the ancestors and Supreme Elders turned their gaze to the giant auspicious cloud above the giant cloud.
There was a banquet placed there, likely hosting distinguished guests.
Pavilion Master Qi Jianqing did not sit in the main seat but in the secondary seat on the left side.
The main seat was unexpectedly occupied by the Medicine Pavilion’s old master Qin Yanbing, who had been captured by the East Desolate Wolf last night.
Qin Yanbing sat in the main seat, uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles.
Because in the right seat sat Ye Xuan and his six people. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Being in the main seat in front of Emperor Ye was simply outrageous and disrespectful.
Even though Emperor Ye had said he didn’t care about such things, Qin Yanbing was still uneasy.
Seeing the scene being set up, Qin Yanbing looked at Ye Xuan and cupped his hands, saying, "Young Master, what do you think?"
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged amidst the banquet, speaking gently, "Since everything is ready, let it begin."
The crowd of bigwigs in the Medicine Pavilion at the banquet couldn’t help but be startled by this scene.
This guy is Ye Xuan, with even ancestor Qin Yanbing being so respectful, what more could they say?
Moreover, it’s said that this alchemy contest is closely related to Ye Xuan!
Who knows what this Ye Xuan intends to do?
"Jianqing."
After receiving Ye Xuan’s consent, Qin Yanbing signaled to Qi Jianqing.
Qi Jianqing stood up, facing the giant cloud below, and said loudly: "This alchemy contest is extraordinary. We won’t be asking you to refine any specific elixirs. Give your best effort, and refine the best elixir you can. If you fail, you can continue. Understood?"
This statement caused a stir among the alchemists participating on the giant cloud.
Is this how it’s going to be judged?
"Pavilion Master, how will we choose the winner then?" A true disciple queried as such.
Upon hearing this, Qi Jianqing looked back at Qin Yanbing.
Qin Yanbing then looked at Ye Xuan, who remained silent.
Qin Yanbing waved his hand.
Seeing this, Qi Jianqing spoke leisurely, "Just focus on refining."
This left many disciples looking at each other.
Lacking a specific rule, this seemed very unorthodox, entirely a spontaneous performance.
Furthermore, they said that if they fail, they can continue refining. Is this really a contest?
"The alchemy contest officially begins!"
Qi Jianqing didn’t care what these little fellows thought and directly announced the start of the contest.
At the back of the giant cloud, Dugu Jing looked up at the banquet above, trying to gaze through the clouds at Ye Xuan.
"What is he up to?" Dugu Jing slightly furrowed her brow, puzzled.
Despite the confusion in her heart, Dugu Jing didn’t dwell on it and focused on entering the state, starting her alchemy.
A once-in-a-lifetime alchemy contest, fervently began!
