The three major meetings of the inner courtyard, in the expectation of tens of thousands of people, have finally arrived.

The process of the conference had already been posted, and all the students knew that today was the day of the alchemist competition, so the students went to the largest open-air square in the mountain behind the academy early in the morning.

In the center of the open-air plaza was a temporary raised platform with a Dan furnace on it. The square is surrounded by stands, and directly in front of it is a rostrum, which is a little higher than the temporary high platform.

When Sima Youyue dragged Han Miaoshuang and Su Xiaoxiao to go, Qu Fatzi and the others were already sitting in the stands. Seeing the three of them come in, the fat man beckoned to them.

Sima Youyue led them up, and the place had been reserved for them.

"It's too late for you, if no one occupies a seat, you'll have to stand below."

Sima Youyue smiled, "I know you'll leave it for us." It's okay to come early. ”

Han Miaoshuang saw that tens of thousands of people were in this square, not to mention that the seats above were full, and there were still half of the people standing below.

"That's a lot of people!"

"This is the first time I've seen such a spectacular scene at the academy." Su Xiaoxiao also sighed.

"Senior brother, haven't you participated before?"

"After I entered the college, I held three conferences. But we didn't attend at that time, and we weren't in the academy. So haven't seen it. "Su Xiao Novel.

"The three conferences are held once every ten years, and Xiaoxiao has only been in for eighteen years, so I haven't participated in it." Han Miaoshuang said, "Usually everyone is in retreat, and those who are outside are outside, and usually they all get together during the three major conferences. ”

"So, this is a rare event for the academy." Sima Youyue looked at the hundreds of Dan furnaces placed below, which was probably the number of alchemists in the inner courtyard, and asked, "Are all the alchemists competing together?" ”

"That's right!"

"The same questions for the high-level competition?"

"It's definitely different!" Qu Fatzi said, "Ouyang said that the first row in front is for free play, the back rows are for the seventh-grade alchemist competition, and the latter are for the sixth-grade alchemist." ”

"What's the difference between the first row and the one in the back?" Sima Youyue was puzzled.

"It's for those eighth-grade and nine-grade alchemists."

"And the eight-rank and nine-grade alchemists?" Sima Youyue's eyes widened, "At that level, you can be a teacher, right?" ”

"That's right, but it's said that almost no one in this row has used it." Wei Ziqi said, "After all, if you want to become an eight-rank alchemist at the student stage, it is also impossible. But it is said that someone has reached it before, so this position has always been kept. ”

There is a rule in the inner courtyard that no matter what profession or status you have, you can only stay until you are 400 years old at most, and when you are 400 years old, you will automatically graduate.

At this time, all the alchemists who participated in the competition took a note from the two boxes, showed it to the teachers on the sidelines, and went to the corresponding Dan furnace.

"Can they only use the Dan furnace prepared by the academy?" Qu Fatzi saw that Beigong Tang and Ouyang Fei had also drawn numbers and entered the seats, and asked.

"It's not." Han Miaoshuang said, "The quality of these Dan furnaces is not very good, those students can use the Dan furnaces prepared by themselves, or they can use the ones prepared by others." In fact, very few people will use the Dan furnace prepared by the academy. In a moment, a teacher will come and take the Dan furnace back. ”

"In that case, why does the academy still prepare a Dan furnace for them?"

"A tradition that has been passed down from the past."

After the students entered the square, several teachers came up together, passed by each student, and asked them if they wanted to use their own Dan furnace, if the other party said yes, then they would take away the Dan furnace of the college, and the students would take out their own Dan furnace.

As Han Miaoshuang said, most of those students chose to use their own Dan furnaces, and only a few left the Dan furnaces of the academy.

In the first two rows, not a single student went.

When the preparations were almost done, a group of teachers walked in from outside under the leadership of Mao Sanquan and sat down on the rostrum.

A teacher standing on the side cleared his throat and began to say the opening remarks of the competition to the students present, first talking about the importance of the three major associations in the academy, and then the importance of rankings and so on. Then he talked about the arrangements for the past few days, and finally talked about the rules of today's alchemy competition.

"This year, as in previous years, there are two rounds. In the first round, the elixir designated by the refining academy was refined, and in the second round, everyone played freely. In the first round, they will be ranked according to the grade of the elixir they have refined and the time spent, with the sixth rank ranking behind the seventh grade. ”

"The second round of free play. Within the specified time, you are free to refine an elixir, and the teachers of the academy will judge your grades based on the grade of the elixir you have refined. ”

"Your final ranking will be based on your results in the two rounds. Now, this alchemy competition has officially begun. ”

"Under your table there is a Danfang, the sixth grade is the same, and the seventh grade is the same. There are three materials on the table, and you have two hours to learn the Dan Fang, and you have three chances to refine it. Let's get started. ”

The alchemist students took out the pill recipe that was placed in the drawer of the table and began to study it.

Han Miaoshuang leaned in front of Youyue and said, "I heard Jiang Junxian say that this competition in the academy is similar to Danby's rules, and we will probably be similar to this when the time comes." ”

"Senior brother knows?"

"He's been to Danby before." Han Miaoshuang said, "At that time, he went in the name of the young master of the Jiang family, and it was also that time that Danby, he was favored by the master and accepted as an apprentice." Now that I think about it, his purpose is to take this opportunity to get close to the master. ”

"When was that?" Sima Youyue asked.

"Fifty years ago." Han Miao brushed the hair around her ears and said, "That guy first followed the master, a few years earlier than me. ”

"I didn't expect that this time the master was not there, and we would go to the competition." Sue's novels.

"In other words, this alchemist has a Danbi, so does the refiner have a Danbi, the array mage has a Danbi, and the beast tamer and the spirit seeker also have corresponding competitions?" Sima Youyue asked.

"There doesn't seem to be such a competition for animal trainers, but there are other professions. The master focused on alchemy, and didn't pay much attention to other competitions, so he didn't know much about it. Han Miaoshuang said, "This Director Mao should know." How did you come up with the idea to ask this? ”

"When I think about it, I ask casually." Sima Youyue smiled.

In the previous life, the Simon family did not produce too outstanding alchemists and refiners, so they did not have much contact with these things. She also suddenly thought of this question just now, they are all forces on the mainland, since there is Danby, there should be others.
