The two of them lined up for a long time to get the entry number card. Because they were participating in the alchemy competition for the first time, they had to start with the initial assessment, and the number of people participating in the primary assessment was the largest.

Both were arranged in the fifth game of the preliminary round. Seeing that it was still early, they entered the stadium again and found a seat at will.

Not long after, the venue, which was enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, was already full, and people were pouring in at the entrance. These people rushed in as soon as possible, making reasonable use of some gaps between seats.

When the time was almost over, an old man's loud voice sounded below: "Welcome to participate in this alchemy competition. Since its establishment, my Wuji Dan Sect will hold an alchemy competition every five years. This time it is the eighth. Before our Wuji Dan Sect was founded, alchemist was an auxiliary profession that was not valued. Now, alchemist has become a popular profession that major forces are competing to win over. Especially the alchemist master, in the seven alchemist competitions before today, only nine alchemist masters appeared. I hope that new alchemist masters can stand out in today's event."

At this time, the entire arena was quite quiet, and everyone was listening attentively to the speech of the white-haired old man on the high platform below. The reason why people are so quiet is that the old man who is speaking now is the only senior alchemy master in the Chinese Empire so far, and he is also a great figure who is called the alchemy master by the world.

Because the Master Wuji Sect is not in the sect most of the time, this Dan Zun usually handles internal affairs, which is equivalent to the old housekeeper of Wuji Dan Sect.

Dan Zun paused and continued, "Although there are only nine alchemy masters, I believe that the crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the Chinese Empire must have many hidden masters who are indifferent to fame and fortune and are unwilling to show up. Previous alchemy competitions focused on assessment, so this sect did not give too many rewards. However, starting from this sect, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the majority of alchemists, this sect will set up many awards to reward those contestants who performed outstandingly in the competition. In addition, this sect has an additional reward. Any alchemist selected in the competition can obtain a Nine Heavens Mysterious Fruit as long as they are willing to invest in my Wuji Pill Sect."

Hearing Dan Zun's words, the entire field suddenly became excited.

"This Nine Heavens Mysterious Fruit is a legendary treasure. The Wuji Dan Sect can actually possess this thing, and it is truly the authority of the alchemy."

"No, Wuji Dan Sect actually used this thing as a reward. It's so grand. It's just that it's not that easy to reach the level of an alchemy master."

"I guess the Wuji Dan Sect wanted to use this thing to lure those alchemy masters who were hiding in the world to appear and join their Wuji Dan Sect."

"It seems that in the next few alchemy competitions, there will be many hidden alchemy masters who cannot withstand the temptation or appear in the world."

"Wuji Dan Sect took this opportunity to announce this matter today, and it was just an opportunity to make a publicity campaign. The possibility of an alchemy master appearing in today's event should not be high."

While people were scrambling to discuss, Ye Wutian frowned faintly. Half of his purpose in participating in this alchemy competition was to make the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fruit. But now I heard that you have to join the Wuji Dan Sect to get this thing, which made him a little confused because he is already preparing to join the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. It is impossible for him to regret it again, right?

Just when Ye Wutian was depressed, Dan Zun's voice sounded again: "I won't say more about the rest. Next, this alchemy competition will officially open. Please invite the first preliminary contestants to appear."

As the Danzun finished speaking, a large number of alchemists rushed into the entrance of the stadium. Among these people were young people in their twenties and old men with gray hair, and their cultivation was high and low. Of course, the bottom line of cultivation was the realm of the earth. Without the realm of the earth, even the alchemy furnace could not be used, so how could they talk about alchemy?

As soon as these people entered the venue, they took the number plate and found their own positions. Not long after, everyone took their place and prepared.

Next, a group of examiners entered the venue to allocate medicinal materials and alchemy furnaces to each contestant.

Because there are too many first-time contestants, and there are mixed together, many of them come to participate with a lucky mentality. In order to save spiritual medicine, this kind of preliminary contest usually uses ordinary medicinal materials. To refine ordinary elixirs, each person needs to refine five elixirs, and at least four are needed to advance to the next round.

The examiner quickly allocated the medicinal materials and alchemy furnaces. The ones used on the field were all inferior alchemy furnaces. Only in the alchemy bachelor's level competition can you use your own alchemy furnace.

After everyone was ready, a crisp "clang" sounded across the entire arena, and the first junior event officially began.

The preliminary round is ten minutes, and it is more than enough for a qualified alchemist.

As the gong sounded, all the alchemists immediately picked up the alchemy furnace, injected the true energy and began to prepare for the furnace, and the audience gradually became quiet. Although there was nothing to watch in this preliminary competition, the audience consciously kept quiet and did not disturb the contestants.

Looking down from the audience, you can almost see the movements of each contestant. The experienced alchemists' movements are smooth and unrestrained. The movements of the rookie-level contestants seem a little slow, and some have poor psychological qualities, and their hands are shaking like Parkinson's syndrome. What's more, they can't even hold the alchemy furnace, and they drop the alchemy furnace to the ground halfway through.

Obviously, the level of these preliminary contestants is uneven, so it is no wonder that Wuji Dan Sect uses ordinary medicinal materials to screen. If you use spiritual medicine for them to refine it, it will be a waste.

After almost five minutes, a middle-aged man took the lead in completing the task and raised his hand to report it.

An examiner immediately walked up and started checking for him.

Because these ordinary pills do not have a grade level, generally speaking, you only need to complete the elixir. Of course, there are also some guys with relatively poor levels. The pills they condense are like shit balls pushed out by dung beetles, and they are mixed together, so they cannot be considered successful.

The examiner looked at the quality and shape of the five pills refined by the guy, smelled the smell of the medicine, then took out a notebook, gave him a score, and then told him to leave.

Seeing that the contestants completed the task so quickly, there was another rumbling on the stage.

"At this guy's speed, if he can guarantee the quality of the pill, he may at least have the level of an alchemy bachelor."

"In the last preliminary round, there was a guy who had his hands and feet faster than him. He only took about a quarter of his time to successfully pass the Advanced Alchemy Bachelor's Earning."

"It is said that when a certain alchemy master participated in this preliminary competition, he only took one tenth of the time to complete the task."

"Stop talking nonsense. Is it too fake to refine five pills in one tenth of the time?"

"What do you think? Without this ability, how can you sit in the position of an alchemy master?"

Amid the discussions of the crowd, another old man completed the task, and an examiner also stepped forward to score the score.

Then more and more people completed the task. When the time came, the examiner stopped giving them scores and asked them to leave directly.

The reason they did this is actually very simple. According to the quality of the elixir, the examiners will decide whether they can skip the next round of the official competition and directly obtain the status of alchemy apprenticeship. As for those who complete it after eight minutes, they follow the normal procedure and advance to the official competition after passing the preliminary round.

Of course, the strength of alchemy cannot be evaluated by time. Some alchemists like to work slowly and work hard. As long as they can complete tasks within the specified time, they are considered qualified.

With the sound of a "clang" gong, the first game ended soon. After all the participants left the field, the examiners quickly scored the results of these participants and cleaned up the scene.

After all the examiners' statistics were completed, another staff member entered the venue and took all the data in the examiners' hands to the backend for statistics.

Backstage personnel need to quickly count the results and publish them on the bulletin board. Then those players who passed the preliminary round use the number cards in their hands to register to exchange for the entry number cards for the official match.

After the on-site cleaning is completed, the second batch of contestants will enter the venue one after another.

The procedure is the same as before, and the examiners allocated medicinal materials to each contestant. After the preparation was completed, the gong sounded and the second game began.

The players in this game are also uneven in strength. The fastest one is handing over the paper and appearing in about five minutes. However, the slowest one is to the end and the gong sounds and the task is not completed.

Until the fourth game began, Ye Wutian and Chen Xiaoyi left the audience and went to the hall to prepare for entry.

When the two arrived at the hall, many contestants holding number cards were already gathered in the hall, and they should have all been contestants in the fifth game.

Seeing that some of them are as calm as usual, some of them look nervous, you don’t need to think about it, these nervous guys are all rookies who lack strength.

Many contestants have never received formal education. They bought some mixed alchemy books on the market, studied for a while, and then came here with a lucky mentality. Of course, these people will generally be eliminated in the preliminary round, and they are simply the ones who give people the bottom.

Not long after, the gong sounded from afar, and it seemed that the fourth game had ended.

After a while, the fourth game participants walked out of the entrance. Some of them were full of confidence, while others looked depressed. It seemed that at least half of the understated guys were cut off in this game.
Chapter completed!
