It is a huge square at the foot of the mountain, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, and it will not seem crowded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Behind the square is a green extinct volcano, hundreds of feet high, houses are continuous, and the most eye-catching thing about the whole volcano is a seven-story stone tower at the top, which directly envelops the crater.

This is the true location of the Sky City, one of the eight major forces, the Dange Mountain Gate. It is said that the reason why Dange built the mountain gate on the volcano is that in the depths of this extinct volcano, there is an earth fire, which can play a role in refining the elixir.

However, there are also rumors that in the depths of this volcano, in addition to the earth fire, there are more important things, which are the foundation of the original Dan Pavilion faction. But no one has been able to verify this claim, and with the passage of time, this rumor has been annihilated.

Suspended not far from the square, looking at the huge bluestone square like a giant Mac, showing it in front of him at a glance, Yan Wubian couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

The square is oval-shaped, and there are countless seats on the left and right sides, which must be the so-called spectator seats, and there are already a large number of people sitting on them. On the side near the foot of the Dange Volcano, there was a platform with many luxuriously decorated tables and chairs, apparently for the judges of the Alchemy Conference or the heads of those great powers.

Sweeping his gaze across the spacious square, Yan Wubian found that thousands of black stone tables, neatly aligned and scattered, were placed extremely neatly on the square, and at a glance, it was like a group of standing still and well-trained troops.

At this time, there were already many participating alchemists in the square, sitting quietly on the stone chairs behind the black stone table, waiting for the time of the competition. As time goes by, more and more contestants pass the inspection in front of the square, and then look for the corresponding position according to the token they received when registering.

Yan Wubian looked up at the sky, and said with a slight smile:

"Let's go down too!"

As soon as the words fell, the figure fell towards the entrance of the square, and handed his registration token to the inspectors who verified the alchemists who participated in the competition, and after passing, Yan Wubian immediately followed the number behind the token to find the corresponding black stone table.

Of course, Ouyang Ruoyi and Chen Long, who signed up with him, naturally had their numbers connected with Yan Wubian, sitting on his left and right respectively.

"Hey, what's the matter, isn't your senior sister also going to participate in the alchemy conference?

As soon as his butt sat down, Yan Wubian found that Wan Yi'an's figure did not appear in the square, but walked directly towards the platform in front of him from another entrance, which couldn't help but make him a little strange, and he couldn't help but ask Ouyang Ruoyi and the others.

"Brother Boundless, Senior Sister doesn't have to participate in the first round of the competition!"

From Ouyang Ruoyi's mouth, Yan Wubian understood that there are many big forces, and it is possible to recommend one or two seed players to participate in the competition, these alchemists are basically cultivated by the major forces themselves, the purpose of participating in the conference is to exchange and increase knowledge, and you can also get a lot of rewards casually, and the second point is nothing more than for fame and fortune, to show the strength of your own sect, so as to attract some free alchemists to join their own forces, but it is a pity that basically potential alchemists will give priority to Dange。

Therefore, the alchemists who have been recommended are basically at a very high level of alchemy, and they do not need to participate in the first round of the competition, but directly start the competition from the second round.

Although this is not fair to the competition, it is not possible to hold many alchemy conferences, and each time it has proved to the world that these seeded players can directly advance to the second round, not by luck, but by luck, but by their true ability.

Over time, no one from the rest of the participating alchemists raised any objections to this phenomenon.

And Wan Yi'an is one of the seeded players recommended by Dange this time, after understanding these circumstances, Yan Wubian's face immediately became solemn, in this way, if he wants to win the championship, the difficulty may have to increase a lot.

Especially Wan Yi'an, her cultivation has not only reached the realm of soul fusion, her alchemy technique has been personally guided by the Venerable Ten Thousand Medicines, and there is also an earth spirit fire on her body, these various factors add up to make Yan Wubian list her as one of her most powerful competitors.

Time passed slowly, and more and more alchemists entered the square, closed their eyes and recuperated, waiting for the start of the game, but on both sides of the audience, there were already crowds of people, and the black and oppressive heads had been connected into a large area, and the shouts that sounded from time to time converged into a torrent and went straight to the sky.

On the platform directly opposite the square, there are already many young people sitting at this moment, and a group of people next to them are walking along the stairs until they come to the front row.

"Bell ......!"

When a crisp bell rang in the square, the noise that rose to the sky was quiet, and the alchemy conference finally began officially under the watchful eye of everyone.

In the lingering sound of the bell, a burly old man stood up, and then slowly walked to the front of the platform, his eyes swept over the thousands of alchemists sitting in the square below, at this time, the more than a thousand alchemists on the field also raised their heads and looked at the old man's body.

"Qiu Wancun, the deputy pavilion master of the old man's Dan Pavilion, this year's alchemy conference will be presided over by the old man, and the old man is now announcing that the conference has officially begun!"

"Boom!"

As soon as Qiu Wancun's voice fell, the audience immediately applauded, and the cheers soared into the sky.

After half a ring, Qiu Wancun looked at the still lively square, and said with a slight smile:

"Presumably everyone is impatient to wait, the old man will make a long story short, as we all know, the refining of medicinal materials is an extremely important step when refining pills, and the purer the refining of medicinal materials, the more perfect the quality of the refined pills will be. Therefore, the first round of the conference will test your refining ...... medicinal materials!"

Although the cheers in the square at this moment are still deafening, Qiu Wancun's flat voice is still ringing in everyone's ears, which shows that this old man's strength is definitely extraordinary.

Just as Qiu Wancun began to speak, there were already some Dan Pavilion disciples in the square, who quickly entered the venue and quickly placed two bundles of medicinal herbs on the stone table in front of all the participating alchemists.

"The medicinal herbs used in the competition have been prepared for you, all you have to do is to refine these elixirs in front of you to the limit as quickly as possible and in the shortest possible time. ”

"Before the hourglass in front of me is finished, if the refining has not been completed, it will be eliminated directly, and those who have completed the refinement, if the elixir refined does not meet the standards of our old guys, they will also be judged as a failure, and they will also lose the qualification to continue the competition. ”

Pointing to a huge hourglass in front of him, Qiu Wancun smiled for a while, and then continued:

"The requirements of our judges are very strict, if you want to stand out in the first round, then the medicinal materials you have refined must be refined more than three times before you may not be eliminated. ”

After listening to what Qiu Wancun said, the square, which had been quiet, began to buzz again, and such a severe judgment of failure made the young alchemists participating below look at each other, except for a few of them, most of the people's faces changed slightly.

Even in the audience, the spirit masters who were more familiar with alchemy also had a change in color, and they obviously knew very well that in this first round of the competition, I am afraid that most of the alchemists present who participated in the competition would be eliminated.
