Chapter 690: Before the Grand Meeting Begins, Reactions from All Sides!

"I heard that yesterday, several more high-rank alchemists entered the city. What do you think— who will be the champion of this Alchemy Grand Meeting?"

"Heh, if it had been in the past, it would have been hard to say, but now I dare to assert that it will definitely be the Little Dan King of the Dan King Valley who takes the championship!"

"Oh? Although that Little Dan King's alchemy talent is outstanding, and he has now reached the rank of a high-rank two-pattern alchemist before the age of thirty, wanting to compete against the others and emerge victorious is still extremely difficult, isn't it?"

"Indeed, several alchemy seniors no less talented than the Little Dan King are participating. Although their alchemy realms are the same, which one of them isn't several hundred years old? Speaking of foundation, naturally the Little Dan King cannot compare."

"Since Brother Wang dares to assert that the Little Dan King will definitely take first place in this Grand Meeting, could it be that you have other news?"

"Mm, yes indeed. I heard not long ago that the Little Dan King obtained an incomparably precious earth-rank strange fire, and moreover encountered a fortuitous opportunity that advanced his alchemy realm to high-rank three patterns, allowing him to refine earth-rank superior-grade elixirs. Combined with the Dan King Valley's unique fire-control techniques, winning will naturally not be difficult!"

"Hiss~ The Little Dan King truly lives up to being the Young Valley Master of the Dan King Valley— his progress is astonishingly swift. In just over twenty years, he has walked a path that would take ordinary people several hundred years to complete."

"It's just that Valley Master Zhou of the Dan King Valley and Yun Yangzi of the Profound Dan Sect are both among the Four Great Alchemy Grandmasters, and the Little Dan King, being the son of Valley Master Zhou, naturally has an extremely high opinion of himself in daily life and looks down on the Grand Meeting's rewards. I'm afraid the reason he has come to this Alchemy Grand Meeting is to embarrass the Xuanyang Sect, right?"

Facing the Little Dan King's terrifying talent, the crowd could not help but let out exclamations of amazement.

You must know that in this realm of heaven and earth, the alchemy realm can be divided into Low, Middle, and High, corresponding respectively to Huang Jie, Xuan Jie, and Di Jie!

Each level is further divided into four patterns, corresponding to the four minor grades of Lower, Middle, Upper, and Extreme!

And above High, it is divided into Grandmaster, Grand Master, and Great Grandmaster, corresponding respectively to Heaven Jie Lower, Middle, and Upper grades!

Above that is the Great Grandmaster Perfection corresponding to Heaven Jie Extreme grade, also known as the Dan King, or Half-Step Dan Saint!

Therefore, the fact that the Little Dan King could advance to a high-rank three-pattern alchemist before the age of thirty shows how terrifying his talent is!

On a certain pavilion above.

A handsome youth dressed in splendid robes sat in a chair.

He had one leg crossed over the other, a cup of hot tea in his hand.

While gazing through the window beside him at the scene on the street, he took a sip of hot tea, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He was precisely the heir of the Dan King Valley, the Little Dan King Zhou Yan!

And behind him stood a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache.
