Chapter 699

"Judging by his appearance, he seems about the same age as the Little Pill King. So young, yet already possessing such profound attainments in the Dao of Alchemy — he is by no means a nobody. Just who is he?!"

"Could it be some old monster who has regained his youthful form, here to take part in this Grand Competition?"

From within the crowd, cries of astonishment kept erupting.

The Little Pill King Zhou Yan also raised an eyebrow, feeling extremely surprised.

He turned his head to look over, and his gaze met Tang Jingming's.

Their eyes locked.

The originally nonchalant expression on Zhou Yan's face changed for the first time, growing much more solemn.

He then sighed with feeling: "I truly never expected that in this Grand Assembly, I would encounter such an interesting opponent as you. It seems this trip was not made in vain."

"However, I never defeat nameless people beneath my hand. State your name."

Tang Jingming shook his head.

At this point, he no longer had any need to hide.

So, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, raised his head, and said coldly: "Mystic Pill Sect, Tang Jingming!"

Zhou Yan's brows knit tightly, feeling extremely puzzled: "Strange. With alchemy attainments no weaker than mine, how is it I have never heard your name before?"

"It seems I underestimated your Mystic Pill Sect in the past. I had assumed that the younger generation within the sect was nothing but a bunch of worthless good-for-nothings, yet I never expected you would actually cultivate a talent like yourself."

Tang Jingming let out a cold laugh: "How vast is the world? There are still plenty of things you don't know......."

He utterly loathed the other's attitude — even more arrogant than his own.

And at this moment, as the two began to converse.

A burst of heated discussion also arose among the surrounding onlookers.

"Tang Jingming? When did such a prodigy of the Dao of Alchemy suddenly appear within the Mystic Pill Sect?"

"Common folk all say that the Mystic Pill Sect's younger generation is withering away, yet who would have thought that today, out of nowhere, a monster would appear who can be mentioned in the same breath as the Little Pill King!"

"Tang Jingming? Wait, I seem to have some impression of this name......."

"Oh? Please, do tell."

"I remember now. My master was on friendly terms with Grandmaster Yun Yangzi, and I once learned that more than ten years ago, Grandmaster Yun Yangzi took in a closed-door disciple — and that disciple's name was Tang Jingming!"

"Ah? So this person is actually a disciple of Yun Yangzi? With an alchemy Grandmaster personally instructing him for so many years, no wonder he possesses such a profound alchemy realm. It's just strange — why has this person remained unknown all these years?"

"Amass thickly, burst forth suddenly, soaring to the heavens. I'm afraid today will be his battle to make his name."

"Hahaha, it seems this Alchemy Grand Assembly is far more thrilling than we imagined! We thought the outcome was already a foregone conclusion, yet now a twist has appeared — who knows where the flower will fall......"

After learning Tang Jingming's true identity.

The surrounding crowd all widened their eyes, unwilling to miss a single scene that followed!

They were all extremely curious — would the first place of this Alchemy Grand Assembly ultimately belong to the Pill King Valley, or...... the Mystic Pill Sect?

At this point, the ownership of first place had already become a contest of face between the two great powers!
