Chapter 515: Acquaintance

The next day!

The Tiangong Pavilion was still bustling with noise, and the number of martial artists on the viewing stand was 10% more than yesterday.

The top one hundred competition of the Alchemy Competition was not worth much attention for many powerhouses, but now that it was one hundred into ten, its viewing degree was far from comparable to the first round.

It was still yesterday's seat, but this time the Li family's Fourth Elder, Li Hong, also appeared.

On the entire viewing stand, there were quite a few powerhouses of the innate five realms. Families like the Li family and some sects all sent elders to come.

"Fourth Elder, the last Alchemy Competition cannot be compared with this one at all."

A Li family clansman beside him sighed. He had just thought about releasing his spiritual sense, but as a result, before it extended very far, it immediately shrank back, because his spiritual sense was instantly suppressed by several more powerful spiritual senses.

"Wait until tomorrow, it will be even more lively."

Li Hong spoke faintly. Those who came today were only those of them in the innate five realms. By tomorrow, I am afraid that even some powerhouses in the innate six realms would appear.

"Master Xiao is on the field!"

When the bell sound rang, Lin Chen and others filed into the square.

This time, only one hundred alchemy furnaces remained on the square, and each contestant had a sufficiently far distance.

The ranking of the first round of the Alchemy Competition did not count towards the last two rounds, but the first round determined the sorting position. Lin Chen was in the 76th place in the last round, and at this moment he was in the middle of the seventh row.

"I don't know what will be assessed in this round?"

"If according to the rules of previous years, the Qianji Sect will prepare three kinds of pills with different properties in this round. Each contestant has to finish refining these three kinds of pills. Whoever finishes refining the fastest is the first."

Innate-level martial way pills are roughly divided into four categories: one is to enhance innate power, one is to enhance soul, another is to heal injuries, and the last category has special functions, such as poison pills...

The Alchemy Competition naturally would not assess the refining of poison pills, so it was generally an assessment of the first three categories of pills.

"This year is different. Perhaps the rules will also change."

"The old man thinks that the rules will not change, but the difficulty may be improved."

While many onlookers were guessing, at the very front of the square at this moment, a white-haired old man floated in the air: "In the second round of the Alchemy Competition, a total of three kinds of pills need to be refined, which are Innate Powder, Soul-Nourishing Pill, and Jade Dew Pill!"

Hiss!

Hearing the old man announce the pills that needed to be refined, a cold breath broke out on the viewing stand.

"It's actually three kinds of four-star pills!"

"More than just four-star pills, the difficulty of refining these three kinds of pills among four-star pills is medium-high."

"Placed in the last competition, I am afraid that half of the contestants, let alone pursuing time, whether they could refine successfully is not certain."

Lin Chen's spiritual sense was also paying attention to other contestants. When the old man said the names of the three pills, he could perceive that the souls of quite a few contestants fluctuated.

It seemed that the difficulty of this round of assessment was also beyond their expectations.

At the very front, Jiang Yaoyan swept a glance at the man in black beside him. He already knew the other party's identity: Jiang Chen, the personal disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Qianji Sect's Alchemy Pavilion.

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression had no fluctuation, Jiang Yaoyan sneered in his heart. It seemed that the Qianji Sect had informed this Jiang Chen in advance what pills would be assessed in this round, and it was even possible that this Jiang Chen had refined these three kinds of pills many times in advance.

But so what? He was the Young Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley. In alchemy, no one in the young generation could be stronger than him.

"In this round of competition, time is based on one hour as a node. If the completion time difference is within one hour, the time belongs to the same. Besides time, the same time is determined by the quantity of pills to determine the grade. If both time and quantity are equal, I will judge the strength of the pill's medicinal effect to determine the grade. Do you have any objections?"

Hearing that the difference within one hour belonged to the same time, many contestants felt relieved.

What they were most worried about was that in order to pursue time, flaws would appear when refining pills too quickly. Now, as long as the difference was within one hour, it belonged to the same time, which made them not have to pursue time too much.

The white-haired old man's gaze slowly swept over the faces of all the contestants on the field. Seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued: "When the bell sound resounds, it is the time when pill refining begins."

After announcing the rules, the white-haired old man sat down directly on the chair at the very front, and soon Qianji Sect disciples carried baskets of medicinal materials to distribute to each contestant.

"Brother Ceng, do you think Brother Jiang can win this round?"

On the viewing stand belonging to the Qianji Sect near the front, a group of young people were also discussing in low voices at this moment.

Ceng Xi listened to the inquiry of a junior brother beside him and shook his head: "It's not easy to judge. That Jiang Yaoyan of the Medicine King Valley is not weak. The most important thing is that this time it is only one hundred into ten. First and second place are actually the same, not counted in the ranking of the last round."

"Although it is not counted in the ranking, taking first place for three consecutive rounds to win the Alchemy Competition, and only getting first place in the last round, the meaning and influence are completely different."

A young man of the Qianji Sect muttered. True geniuses would not reserve their strength in the front for the last round. Those who reserved their strength in the front could only say that they did not have enough confidence in their own strength.

Those with confidence would choose to sweep all first places. Those who won first place in the Alchemy Competition in previous years, except for a few years, most of them were first place winners who took first place for three consecutive rounds.

Hearing the light mutterings of the people around him, Ceng Xi smiled bitterly. As a disciple focused on by the sect, he knew more inside information about this competition than other junior brothers. This competition had quite a few alchemy geniuses, and several others even appeared on the competition field stepping on the line of fifty years old. Their strength was also not to be underestimated. ===== CHAPTER 516 =====
