Chapter 135: The Competition Begins!

The Alchemist Grand Competition was held in the square in front of the Alchemist Guild in Mo Shuang City.

At that time, there would be many spectators watching.

Ye Chen brought his Fourth Senior Sister out and came to the square.

At this time, the sky was blue and cloudless. The sunlight was warm but not blazing. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blew past, bringing away the noise in the city. It made people feel refreshed.

This was a grand event in Mo Shuang City. The Alchemist Grand Meeting would begin today!

One alchemist after another walked out.

These noble occupations were usually difficult for ordinary people to see because of their strength and incomparable importance. Hence, alchemists appeared quite mysterious and respectful in the hearts of ordinary people.

Today, these noble alchemists were like ants coming out of their holes as they continuously swarmed out from various resting places in Mo Shuang City. Although their walking paths were different, their destination…was the ancient and unadorned Alchemist Guild that stood tall in the city.

Other than alchemists, the others had also come to watch this once-a-year prosperous time.

In front of the square, the graceful and graceful young ladies laughed in a low voice. They threw their shy and adoring gazes toward the alchemists in the square.

To these young ladies who were at a fancy age and filled with fantasies, the mysterious and deep alchemists were like magnets, tightly attracting their gazes.

An occupation like the alchemist was an indispensable occupation on the continent. Many people needed an alchemist to break through, treat their injuries, and treat their illnesses.

Therefore, even if an alchemist’s cultivation was a little inferior, they still had countless aides to follow them.

In this era, an alchemist was even easier to make the hearts of young ladies waver than those princes in fairy tales. From this, one could know what kind of noble status an alchemist had on this continent.

“There are so many people!”

At this moment, Fourth Senior Sister pulled Ye Chen’s hand and said.

Ye Chen nodded. Then, he sized up the crowd outside and faintly said, “I wonder where Seventh Senior Sister and the others are?”

“Little Seven is here too?” Fourth Senior Sister immediately asked.

Ye Chen nodded and said, “But she is not an alchemist and can not enter. I will let them return to the inn and wait.”

Fourth Senior Sister nodded her head.

Her gaze swept across the incomparably spacious square and Ye Chen discovered that there were actually over a thousand green stone square platforms neatly distributed within it. These square platforms were arranged in an orderly manner and correspondingly placed in an extremely neat manner. At a glance…they were like an unmoving green stone army.

Elixir formulas and medicinal ingredients were placed on these stone platforms. They should be used to refine elixirs for alchemists.

At this moment, there were already quite a number of alchemists participating in the competition in the square. They quietly sat cross-legged on the stone chairs behind the Bluestone Square platform, waiting for the competition time to arrive. As time passed…more and more alchemists surged out from the passageway. Then, they looked for their own positions according to the examination cards that they had received.

At this moment, Ye Chen looked toward the audience seats.

He suddenly saw a beautiful figure.

He saw his Seventh Senior Sister and Shangguan Xueyan sitting in the audience seats, preparing to watch their competition.

Seventh Senior Sister seemed to have also seen Ye Chen and waved frantically at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and also waved at Seventh Senior Sister.

On the VIP seats, one after another old men walked onto the stage and began to take their seats.

They were respectively people from the various great families of Mo Shuang City.

The old man in the lead wore an alchemist’s robe. On that robe, there was a large ‘nine’ badge, which was exceptionally dazzling.

He was the President of the Alchemist Guild, Zhao Chengyi, Elder Zhao.

A person with a ‘nine’ badge also walked up from the side. He slowly walked to Old Zhao’s side and cupped his hands toward Old Zhao as he said, “Elder Zhao, I haven’t seen you for many days. How is your body?”

“Thank you for your concern, Elder Zhang. As you can see, you are still in good health,” Elder Zhao quickly said.

This man called Elder Zhang was the ancestor of the Zhang family, Ye Chen’s grandfather who had killed Zhang Hengyu. He was also an expert of the Zhang family in the Transcending Tribulation Realm.

“I heard that Elder Zhang’s grandson is also participating in this competition?” Elder Zhao asked with a smile.

“Hahaha…my grandson is not talented. He is just here to make up the numbers.” The elder obviously did not know that his grandson was already dead and was still chatting with Elder Zhao.

“Elder Zhang, Elder Zhao…” A voice sounded.

The two people turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man walking over.

Although his realm was not high and his age was not old, there was a large ‘nine’ on his chest.

This person was that Chen Feng’s master, Mo Shuang City’s Elixir King, Tier Nine Alchemist Song Yang.

Soon after, another middle-aged man came over with an ‘eight’ written on his chest.

The Sect Master of the Hundred Herb Hall — Qian Mingyi!

Everyone slowly took their seats. At this time, Qian Mingyi was the first to open his mouth and ask, “I wonder who everyone thinks more highly of in this Alchemist Grand Meeting?”

At this time, Song Yang immediately smiled and said, “I heard that Elder Zhang’s grandson also participated in the competition. Elder Zhang’s grandson is also a disciple of your Hundred Herb Hall. I think that this time, he will definitely be able to win the champion of this Alchemist Grand Meeting.”

Elder Zhang immediately laughed and said, “Hahahaha…Mr. Song is too kind. I remember that Mr. Song’s disciple, Chen Feng, that brat, has also participated. I think that he is the hot favorite to win the Championship!”

“That’s right. That brat, Chen Feng, has the guidance of an Alchemy King. He will definitely be first!” Qian Mingyi also immediately bragged.

At this moment, Song Yang looked at Qian Mingyi and faintly asked, “Brother Qian, I heard that your Hundred Herb Hall has sent out four disciples. Looks like you are determined to win this competition!”

Qian Mingyi smiled and said, “It’s just to let them train. They are all useless people.”

“Brother Qian, you are too humble…”

In the VIP seats, everyone discussed animatedly. They praised each other and bragged about business.

With Ye Chen’s hearing, he was naturally able to hear what they were saying.

However, Ye Chen shook his head. The person they were talking about, other than Chen Feng, everyone else had been killed by him. It was likely that he would not participate in this competition.

…

As time gradually moved, the time for the Grand Meeting to begin slowly arrived in front of everyone’s eyes…

Clang —

At this moment, a bell chime sounded

When this clear bell chime sounded in the square, the clamor that soared to the sky was quietly quiet…

Elder Zhao stood up shakily as he heard the bell chime that lingered by his ear. After which, he slowly walked to the front of the VIP seats. His gaze swept over the hundreds of alchemists seated behind the green stone platform below.

At this moment, the hundreds of alchemists also raised their heads. Their respectful gazes were thrown toward this old man who possessed an extremely high reputation in the Alchemist World of Mo Shuang City.

“In the name of the Chairman of the Alchemist Association of Mo Shuang City, I announce that the Alchemist Grand Meeting has begun!”

“Bang!”

The entire place boiled. Cheers shook the Nine Heavens!
