Pill God Returns

According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of forces coming to the Alchemist Conference... The number of people coming from each country varied, with more than a hundred people. Only one or two of them were missing, so many of them were so powerful... With so many apothecaries, it was naturally impossible for all of them to squeeze into the same venue for the competition. Under normal circumstances, the grouping was done by drawing lots.    

    

After eating and resting for a while, Zhu Kun and Yang Xiong went to the Thunder Garden to deal with some matters. For example, drawing lots to decide the grouping, discussing the referees, and reporting the names of the contestants.    

    

It was not until evening that Zhu Kun and Yang Xiong dragged their tired bodies back to the inn.    

    

In the room, Mu Qing, Zhu Kun, and Yang Xiong were all there.    

    

Mu Qing said, "Old Zhu, Old Yang, how's the situation?"    

    

Zhu Kun frowned and said, "The situation is very unfavorable to us. As far as I know, this time, there are no less than a hundred Tier 5 alchemists from the various major powers. As for Tier 4 alchemists, there are countless of them. It is not an easy task to stand out from so many outstanding apothecaries. "    

    

"So many Tier 5 apothecaries?"    

    

In the Apothecary Guild, Tier 5 apothecaries were the highest tier of apothecaries and the key factor that determined one's results. As for the others, they could be ignored.    

    

Yang Xiong said, "Yes. This time, just the Taiyi Sect alone has nine Tier 5 alchemists. As for the Super Sect like Sky Profound Holy Land and Hanging Mountain, there are three to five of them. The other Super Sect had also sent out their most elite alchemist team. Therefore, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us."    

    

"The Taiyi Sect has sent nine Tier 5 alchemists?"    

    

Mu Qing was speechless. Although he wasn't an alchemist, but as you know, it's not easy for an alchemist to level up. Compared to cultivating the Martial Arts, the difficulty was much greater. However, to become a Tier 5 alchemist... Compared to breaking through to the Astral Reaching Stage, the difficulty was at least a hundred times greater. Therefore, even in the Beichen House, there were only three people who had broken through to the Fifth Grade alchemist realm. As for the Taiyi Sect, there were a total of nine people. The gap between them was... It was not an ordinary gap.    

    

"Old Yang, can you estimate how many people from the Beichen House can pass the preliminaries and last until the final round?"    

    

With so many alchemists, it was naturally impossible for all of them to make it to the final round. This would require a selection process, eliminating most of the alchemists and leaving behind the most elite alchemists to compete for the final round. This was also the preliminary round.    

    

There were a total of three rounds of preliminaries, and passing the preliminary round was a proof of one's own strength. Many apothecaries would be mercilessly eliminated during the preliminaries. According to past experience, 99% of the people would be eliminated during the preliminaries. Only a thousandth of the apothecaries would be able to persist until the final round.    

    

Yang Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Tang Ji, Kang Yang, and Yun Shishi. The three of them are 100% able to pass the preliminaries. As for the tier four alchemists, I think Mu Zheng and Su Can will win. These two are about to become tier 5 alchemists, so they are more confident. As for the others, I don't think they will be able to handle it."    

    

As for Wu Chen, they had never thought about it. Basically, it was just a round trip. In their point of view, it was just a fun trip for him to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting.    

    

" How difficult is the preliminaries this time? "    

    

Zhu Kun was silent for a while, then he said, "I'm afraid the difficulty will be higher."    

    

"Is it very difficult?"    

    

Yang Xiong and Mu Qing both frowned. The higher the difficulty, the fewer people who passed the preliminaries.    

    

"How hard is it exactly? Old Zhu, you are the judge. You should know something about it."    

    

Zhu Kun was the leader of Beichen House's operation this time. He was about to become a Sixth Rank alchemist. He was invited to become a judge in this kind of Alchemist Conference.    

    

"I don't know. The judge didn't reveal any information." Zhu Kun shook his head and said.    

    

The Alchemist Grand Meeting was a very formal event. Naturally, they couldn't vent their frustrations. If that was the case, wouldn't the Alchemist Grand Meeting become a joke?    

    

Mu Qing said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Just now, all of you went to draw lots. Which arena did you draw?"    

    

"Arena number twelve."    

    

"Number twelve field? With which forces?"    

    

"This?" Yang Xiong frowned and said, "There are more than 50 Super Sect, and 200 other major and minor powers. As for the Ten Great Sects, we, the Beichen House, are the only one."    

    

"Is the Ten Great Sects the only one from the Beichen House?"    

    

Yang Xiong said, "This time, the Ten Great Sects didn't even get involved in the draw. All of them have been separated. Judging from this, the situation is still favorable for the Beichen House."    

    

Zhu Kun and Mu Qing's brows relaxed slightly. The Beichen House wouldn't be afraid of anyone else. This was because their Beichen House was one of the Ten Great Sects, one of the major powers in the East Mystic Region. The only thing that could make them feel fear was the status of an Apical Level. It was the other nine major powers in the Ten Great Sects, especially the Taiyi Sect. They were extremely powerful, no matter who they were. They were unwilling to meet them.    

    

"Let's not bother about these things. Anyway, the drawing of lots has already been completed. It's useless to discuss these things anymore. Tomorrow, it will depend on the performance of these little fellows."    

    

Hearing this, the others didn't say anything else.    

    

"Have a good rest. If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."    

    

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. On this day, the entire Heavenly Jewel City was in an uproar because the Alchemist Grand Meeting, which was the center of attention, would officially begin on this day.    

    

Early in the morning, countless people had rushed to the Lightning Garden to watch this unprecedentedly grand Alchemist Grand Meeting. Even the Super Sect would participate in this Alchemist Grand Meeting. These people had always been elusive and secretive. Normally, they wouldn't have the chance to meet him. But now, because of the Alchemist Grand Meeting... The Super Sect had also come out, so they naturally wanted to have a good look at what was happening.    

    

The 12th site was filled with a sea of people. Compared to the other sites, the number of people in this area was greater. This was because there would be people from the Beichen House appearing in this area.    

    

The Beichen House was one of the Ten Great Sects. It was one of the most powerful forces in the entire East Mystic Region. The alchemists produced by them were undoubtedly better than the average alchemists from the Super Sect and the aristocratic families of the empire. Naturally, they didn't want to miss out on this opportunity.    

    

On the other hand, the White Shark Clan and the Beichen House had been at loggerheads with each other recently. They pushed the Beichen House to the top of the waves, which also increased the reputation of the Beichen House. Many people wanted to take a look at this power that was challenging the White Shark Clan. What was going on?
