Early morning, Shen Xiang walked out of his room and saw Long Shuangrú carrying some pastries. The delicious aroma wafted in the air.
"Hurry up and eat! I made it myself," Long Shuang said in a gentle voice.
"You're still good at this" Shen Xiang laughed and said. Then, he walked over and quickly swept it clean, of course, he also left some for Chu Hongqing to taste inside the Yyouyao戒.
"Today, I'm going to participate in the alchemy duel trials. I can finish three rounds within a day," Shen Xiang said, "Afterwards, you take me to a safe place and I can begin my seclusion for alchemy."
Long Shuangliu nodded, then walked out of the inn with Shen Xiang to head towards Fire Sovereign Gate.
The courtyard finally has an area designated for alchemy competition. A raised platform has already been set up there. Since pills are closely related to cultivators and bring them many benefits, the alchemy competition is very significant for cultivators. This allows them to know which alchemist is stronger.
"Chu Hongqing and Shen Xiang didn't come, did they run away or were they killed"

"There must be something fishy about this; in particular, Shen Xiang. He would definitely show great interest in such competitions and wouldn't miss it."
"It's likely that the Fang family disposed of him. Who would've thought that he refined such a critical strange essence elixir for the Fang family It's miraculous that he didn't die."
"Indeed, with Chen Xiang's death, so would Qing Chun. What a pity,"
This period, Shen Xiang was very famous here. Like acquiring Chu Hongqing as a servant girl, then concocting the Wonder Qi Pill that caused the Fang family to lose 200 million jade coins. It's hard for him not to be famous!
So many people want to catch a glimpse of him today, after all, quite a few of us here haven't had the chance to see him in person!
Long Shuang and Chen Xiang walked together, hearing these words. Then, she glanced at Chen Xiang with a hint of amusement in her eyes, as if she had already figured out his identity.
Sen Xiang came into contact with her gaze and shrugged, not saying much more. Then, he took out the jade token he received when registering and entered the competition venue.
Shen Xiang saw Fang Heng again. He participated as well, along with Lan Tiantian, who were all familiar to him. There were also many young nobles from distinguished families among the others.
And drawing the most attention was Fang Heng and a man named Huang Xiaotian, who wore golden clothes.
Shen Xiang soon found out that Huang Xiaotian was the youngest son of Patriarch Huantian from the Fire Sovereign Gate.
"Yellow Xiaotian and Fang Heng have a good relationship. They often hang out together and their alchemy skills are about the same," Chu Hongqing said.
The original battleground for Fang Heng and Huang Xiaotian, as the hundreds of alchemists participating in the competition were the ones garnering their attention.
However, when Chen Xiang took on the alias of Yun Fei, he also received a lot of attention because yesterday when he told Long Shuangru that he could solve that kind of bizarre poison, and also touched the terrifying poisonous blood without anything happening to him, therefore many people have an impression of him.
Long Shuang, if she were to observe Chen Xiang from afar, would currently be very cautious. She followed Chen Xiang precisely for the sake of protecting him, and this was currently the most promising person she had seen who could potentially help her father to detoxify.
Shen Xiang felt that he would surely humiliate Fang Heng again today. He hated the Fang Family to his core now!
Upon seeing Long Shuangru outside the venue, both Fang Heng and Huang Xiaotian's eyes lit up. Not only was Long Shuangru beautiful, she also exuded a very charming氣質, which was the most appealing aspect of her.
"Trial preparations are starting. We require the use of our cauldrons for the alchemy trials to ensure fairness," an elderly man said, then many people entered the arena and distributed cauldrons to the alchemists.
The youth, Shen Xiang, noticed Huang Xiaotian and Fang Heng. The middle-aged men who distributed the pill furnaces to them both gave them a subtle glance.
Shen Xiang furrowed his brows as he realized that Fang Heng and Huang Xiaotian's alchemy furnaces were of higher grade, indicating they were top-quality ones. Although their exteriors looked the same as others', they were actually much better.
"I do have a couple of powerful alchemists, how could I not see it" Shen Xiang could tell that there was something fishy about their two cauldrons, and he secretly chuckled to himself.
This is obvious evidence of the Fiery Veneration Sect's幕後 manipulation, allowing only these two to last until the end. This way, they can appear stronger and gain more fame.
"If you win this competition, you will receive a Tier-Upper Rank alchemy formula and an array of ingredients! This is also the famous Dao痕 Pill, which aids in understanding Dao痕 and is a rare Imperial pill!" an elderly man said.
The crowd of alchemists erupted in excitement. This was indeed an extremely valuable pill formula. If they could obtain the ingredients too, it would be even better! Not many people knew how to refine such pills; only the Patriarch of Fire Veneration Sect and some elders were knowledgeable. They also couldn't randomly impart this knowledge.
"Although Huangtian is the patriarch of Fire尊嚴 Sect, he cannot give his formulas to others willy-nilly. Otherwise, he would have just given it to his own son! If he were to give it out freely, the elders of Fire尊嚴 Sect would definitely not spare him! But as for this being allowed as the highest reward for the heaven's path divine world alchemy competition, that is understandable," Chu Hongqing said.
“I saw it just now, they gave Huang Xiaotian and Fang Heng the best furnace for pill-making. Looks like from the beginning, they're aiming to make all other alchemists fail," Shen Xiang said.
"They are going to make sure that the pill formula for this scar-forming pill goes to either Fang Heng or Huang Xiaotian," Chu Hongqing said. "What a despicable move."
Sch xmin smiled and said, "But now it's different. I must get this recipe! Of course, the main thing is to obtain those herbs."
Now that Chu Hongqing knows about Chen Xiang's incredible talent in copying medicinal ingredients, it is indeed crucial for him.
"Silence!" the elderly attendant shouted, "Now I will announce the rules! The rules are simple, you just need to refine the highest-quality丹 pill within a set time frame. It doesn't matter about the number of pills, only the quality counts!"
Shen Xiang immediately guessed that the old man definitely had a device to test quality. Sure enough, it was a tall stone pillar with many scales on it, and there was a groove at the bottom of the base where pills could be placed.
This kind of test equipment, Shen Xiang has seen many varieties. They are mostly similar and quite reliable. None of them can be tampered with in any way.
The old man then used numerous medicinal pills for testing, all of which were of decent quality. The highest scale reading was only two hundred, yet the pills he tested could illuminate around one hundred and fifty segments of the scale.
In terms of the quantity of dantian production, Fang Heng has suffered a great loss. This is obviously to prevent someone like Shen Xiang from having an unfair advantage in terms of quantity, so they will only be competing on quality!
Although they knew Shen Xiang wouldn't come, they adopted this rule in case a cultivator like Shen Xiang might show up just to be safe.
"Those who reach the top fifty will advance to the next round. There will be three rounds in total, with the rules being identical for each, just using different pills," said the elderly man. By now, people were already distributing the ingredients, which were for Yao Ge Pill.o also agreed very much."Forget it, I'll go to the top layer first. The entire Sacred Dharma Realm must have undergone great changes! In the past, Chaos Mountain wouldn't have so many people walking a...
