Two days passed, and finally a team of people and horses came slowly, the convoy was not too fast, everyone was a little haggard, and before they could get close, they heard cheers, "Everyone, there is an inn ahead, you can finally relax for the night!"

"Haha, this is the realm of the Daluo Dynasty, so I have to relax!" Another voice rang out.

"You guys be careful, this is the territory of the Great Luo Dynasty, don't fold it all here!" Someone scanned the surroundings with a wary expression.

"Don't worry, the current Daluo Dynasty doesn't have that ability, if something happens to us, then there is an excuse to send troops!"

"Haha, that is, who doesn't know that the current Daluo Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the main reason for Poison Lanzhi is not to grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he wants to find a suitable reason to send troops, he doesn't know how many years he will have to wait!"

"Hmph, sending troops to send troops, it wouldn't be worth it if they were all folded here, don't forget, what is our purpose this time!" In the center of the convoy, a voice came from inside a carriage, and when everyone heard this, they immediately stopped talking and looked at the carriage with a look of fear.

After a while, the convoy stopped outside the inn, "This is actually the post station of the Daluo Dynasty?" The crowd laughed.

In the post station, there are not many people, it is not far from the border between the two countries, and there are some merchants who come and go, plus it is an official post station, not any caravan can enter, and the whole post station is only a table of people.

Glancing at the post station, there were several people in the team of the Poison Lan Country, and there were six people sitting at the table.

"In an alchemist competition, nearly fifty people from the Poison Lan Kingdom were dispatched, is this here to participate in the competition?" Lu Chen sneered, lightly knocked on the wall, and a figure opened the door and entered.

"Childe, what do you command?" The post official who came in was very restrained, and the young man in front of him was not very old, but he held a royal token in his hand, which was a token given by the lord of Da Luo.

Looking at the people below who began to drink and eat, Lu Chen took out two packets of medicinal powder and handed them to the post officer, "Let them eat it!"

"This ......" The post officer's hands trembled a little, and he didn't dare to take it, he knew who was coming, and he knew what the consequences would be if something happened to these people in this station.

"Rest assured, it's not time for them to die!" Lu Chen said, threw the two packets of medicinal powder to the post officer, and the figure disappeared outside the post station.

Watching the post officer pour the medicinal powder into the wine, and everyone in the Poison Lan Kingdom drank it, Lu Chen disappeared into the night.

Back in the imperial capital, the huge earthquake caused by the palace change has not completely dissipated, and this residual temperature can at least shock the Daluo Dynasty for more than a month, but in addition to desperately taking the boat of the Sword Sect, there must not be many people who will fight against the royal family.

Although it had just undergone a palace change, it didn't seem to have much impact on the Alchemist Guild.

The competition held by the Alchemist Guild is still the same.

On the open royal garden square, it was specially built by the royal family for various competitions, and this time the scale of participating in the alchemist competition was unprecedented, with nearly 1,000 people participating.

In order to prevent indiscriminate filling, the registration fee was specially added to this competition, which also caused dissatisfaction among many alchemists, and finally the alchemists jointly issued a statement in the Alchemist Guild and the Daluo royal family, and all the alchemists calmed down.

Five hundred gold coins is indeed not too much for an alchemist of a certain level, and these five hundred gold coins are enough for the Alchemist Guild to prepare the preliminary screening of the second-grade pill pills, materials and other expenses.

The second grade, which is the threshold of this competition, is also a special case this time, and it is not only based on the alchemist badge issued by the Alchemist Guild, as long as you have the ability, you can participate in the competition even if you don't have a badge, which is also one of the reasons why all alchemists accept the cost of the five hundred gold coins competition.

After all, there are no alchemists in the country of Poison Lan, but there are still alchemists in this country who can refine pills, and they are not recognized by the Alchemist Guild, and in this country alone, there are more than forty people participating in the competition, which can be regarded as a miracle among the participating teams.

Generally, countries and forces will compete within themselves first, and select the best very few people, and in this poisonous country, there are more than forty poison refiners under the age of thirty, which can be called the first among the teams in the competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man won't talk nonsense, please His Royal Highness the Prince!" Su Wan finished speaking

and step aside.

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is dressed in a robe, and there is no previous decadence between his eyebrows, and he is heroic, and now he has been made the prince, the crown prince of the Daluo Dynasty.

"What's going on?" The faces of the contestants of the Poison Lan Kingdom changed, according to the past practice, it should be the Da Luo royal family who came to power this time, which is related to the face of a country.

"What? Does the Daluo Dynasty take our elites of all countries seriously?"

Sure enough, as soon as the prince came to power, there was a voice that was neither yin nor yang.

"It's ......" Seeing this, the contestants of the Poison Lan Kingdom were overjoyed, and they were worried that they didn't know what to do, and they didn't think that they were really stunned.

Above, looking down at the commotion, the prince looked calm, "What? As the crown prince and the prince of the Daluo Dynasty, can't I represent the Daluo royal family?"

With a rhetorical question, everyone in the audience was suddenly speechless, and the discussion also stopped abruptly.

"Fellow contestants, this competition is organized by the Alchemist Guild, the royal family, just to be a witness, not presided over by the Daluo royal family, presumably, in your capacity, there is no need for my father to come forward in person, right?"

The prince continued to speak, a majesty shining between his brows.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this? Since we look down on us foreign alchemists, then it's okay not to participate in this competition!" Someone shouted angrily.

"That's it, this kind of competition is not only held by the Alchemist Guild of the Great Luo Dynasty, what is the spirit?"

There was another commotion below, and the prince smiled and was unmoved.

"The competition held by the Alchemist Guild is just for alchemists who are keen on alchemy to learn the art of alchemy from each other, if you really want to mix with others, you don't want the contestants to leave, if there is a lack of money to go back, the Daluo royal family will be responsible for escorting you, as for the participation fee, you can apply to the Alchemist Guild for a refund!"

"You ......" Everyone was speechless again, they never thought that they wanted to make the Da Luo royal family lose face before the competition, but they didn't expect this royal family to be so tough, even if they threatened to withdraw from the competition, they were unmoved.

In the end, it is pointed out that they are poor ghosts, you can send them back, as for applying for a refund, everyone doesn't have to think about it, the competition has become a practice again and again, once you participate, all fees will not be refunded, and the rules of this competition are also clearly written.

"If you're all the same, let's get started!" The prince glanced back at Su Wan, who saluted and stood to the side.

"Primary selection, second-grade pills, popular pills, time, half an hour is limited!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of referees entered, for this competition, the Alchemist Guild had transferred many alchemists from the alchemist branches of various parts of the Daluo Dynasty, nearly a thousand people competed, and the referee recorders needed were also a terrifying number.

Time passed, half an hour passed, and there were already people who put the refined pills into jade bottles, and slowly withdrew after the referee checked, sealed, and recorded.

"What's the situation with Brother Lu?" The prince asked Su Wan in a low voice.

"I'm afraid this kid is going to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger again!" Su Wan stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Haha, Brother Lu's cultivation that does not show mountains and water is indeed not something that ordinary people can do, such a person can go further, and if the edge is too strong, the folding will be faster!" The prince laughed.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, there is no shortage of geniuses and demons in this world, how many people may go to the end? Last time, the Alchemist Guild suffered heavy losses!" Su Wan nodded, with a look of regret.

In the last competition, the fall of the disciples of the Alchemist Guild directly caused the fault of the Alchemist Guild, which was an unimaginable loss.

If these old men fall, the Alchemist Guild will no longer be able to hold up the table, and at that time, it is not impossible to be slowly eaten away by other forces.

"This kid, it took a quarter of an hour to refine a second-grade Fengxing Pill!" I can't even stand the single level that comes.

The Great Luo Emperor Capital Alchemist General Guild, there were only four people who participated in the competition, but Lu Chen, who was the strongest, was the last to complete the pill, and its quality was even average, even if it was impossible to eliminate, it would not be too eye-catching.

Half an hour passed, and only a very small number of people failed because of improper performance

There were more than 700 successful contestants, and after more than an hour of evaluation, the top 500 contestants were finally left to enter the second round.

"The second round of the list has been announced, and it can be seen in the ten announcements outside the venue, and those who have objections can enter the Alchemist Guild to review!" Su Wan said loudly.

The review, that is, going through the motions, will be brushed out in the first round, and even if the review enters the second round, it will only be eliminated.

What's more, the second round of trial refining must be a three-grade pill, and if you are not careful, it may explode the pill, and at that time, it is not only about face, but even about your own life.

In a barren area like the Southern Wilderness, a second-grade alchemist who is less than thirty years old can also mix well, there is no accident, and no one wants to die.

"The second round will be held in half an hour!"

The voice fell, and the contestants who knew that they had advanced all returned to their seats to close their eyes and recuperate, recovering the consumption just now, after all, the difference between refining the third-grade pill and the second-grade pill was not small.

"It's time!" Su Wan shouted, and his voice spread throughout the square wrapped in spiritual power, and many of the contestants who had entered the venue were also awakened.

"The second round, Shuanglong Pill, the top elixir of the three grades, the refining time is one hour!"

"What?"

"It turned out to be the top elixir among the three products, Shuanglong Dan?"

Many alchemists thought that they had misheard, and that refining the top elixir in the second round was rare in previous competitions, and only the final round would refine the top elixir.

Those who can go to the end are all top alchemists, and only the top elixirs can see their true level.

Five hundred people refining the Double Dragon Pill at the same time, I am afraid that less than two percent can succeed, in the eyes of many contestants, this is what the Alchemist Guild deliberately did.

Daluo Imperial Capital, a square, is crowded with people everywhere, and even, the palace change that happened in the imperial capital not long ago can not see a trace here, and the crowds are staring at the high platform in the front.

There, an old man stood with the new prince of the Daluo Dynasty!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are many contestants this time, if you still refine the ordinary three-grade pill, I don't know how many rounds of competition you have to go through, and if you continue to consume it, will you still be able to exert your true strength?" Su Wan spoke, and the contestants below could only nod helplessly.

No one can refute such an explanation.

Looking at the materials mixed together in front of them, and the pills placed on the side, most of the alchemists had an ugly face.

"Let's go!" Su Wan's voice fell, and the golden gong at the beginning sounded, and the fingers of the five hundred alchemists rummaged through a pile of medicinal materials.

The second round, different from the first round, in order to prevent the explosion of pills, the contestants will have a referee to record the time after the end of the drug recognition, and then check whether there is any error in the medicine, and if there is a mistake, they will leave the field directly.

Even the medicine is wrong, no matter how good the alchemy level is, it is a failure, and there is no need to continue to compare.

Glancing around, Su Wan shook his head, just knowing medicine, it was enough for half of the people to leave the field, and the probability of this screening was really terrifying.

"Old fellow, you're so cunning!" Su Wan looked at Elder Shan Guan beside him and scolded with a smile.

"Haha, Lu boy's last assessment, the old man made a move in the medicinal materials, and he never wanted to be noticed by the kid, this time the Shuanglong Dan was also put in by the old man with almost identical medicinal materials, if these referees didn't know in advance, I'm afraid even they would have many people who couldn't tell the difference!"

Shan Guan smiled, "It can be regarded as saving an expense for the Alchemist Guild!"

"Elder Shanguan's idea is good, there are many contestants this time, so it's not easy to leave half of them!" The prince said with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, I'm afraid the number of people left behind is less than two hundred!" Su Wan looked at Shan Guan helplessly and said.

"After the medicine is over, one hundred and seventy-eight people have entered the alchemy link!" The referee announced aloud from the referee's bench.

"This ......," the prince glared at President Su Wan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the three flavors of medicinal herbs put by this old fox are too special, and even the smell is extremely similar, and if you are not careful, you will be out of the game!" Su Wan looked bitter.

In the competition area below, Lu Chen frowned when he heard the number of people entering the next link, there were five hundred people, and more than three hundred people were kicked out just by knowing medicine, which was terrifying.

"In the second round, the rules of alchemy, you can only use the medicine pod provided by the organizer, you can use your own fire, and the competition begins!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, clusters of flames rose, but in an instant, the temperature in the entire square rose a lot.

From a distance, the flames of various colors in the square rose dazzlingly, but after a while, there were already onlookers who were close to slowly retreat, wiping the beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Ahead, the hourglass is constantly flowing with fine sand, time passes, all the contestants have completed the Wen Ding, and many contestants have put the medicinal herbs into the medicine pod to start purifying.

With the passage of time, almost all the contestants have been purified, and there are even some powerful alchemists who have already emitted a trace of medicinal fragrance in the medicine ding.

Bang!

A muffled sound suddenly sounded in the square, and a soul training fell from the sky, enveloping the medicine tripod, and after a while, a trace of cracks began to spread on the wall of the medicine tripod.

"Bang Dan, out!" The referee's ruthless voice sounded, and the contestants sighed lightly, a little unwillingly, and shook their heads and left the competition venue.

With the first Explosive Pill Player, the Explosive Pill was like a contagious person, and in a short time, there were already eight contestants who had exploded the Pill again, and even the Shan Guan Elder had to enter the competition venue.

In the field, the soul power of the single level elder spread, enveloping an area, as long as there was a tendency to explode pills, they would be instantly isolated by them with spiritual power.

Otherwise, although the power of the three-pin pill explosion pill is not great, the impact on the surrounding players is not small, and a careless one will cause a series of explosions.

Alchemy is all condensed with all one's heart, and accidents may occur if you are not careful.

"The second child also came up with a good idea this time, refining the Double Dragon Pill, after this round, I'm afraid that more than ten people will be able to enter the third round of the competition!"

Su Wan whispered, the fewer people who enter the next round, the more money will be saved for the Alchemist Guild, and the cost of a material for the four pins of pills is quite a lot.

Lu Chen's eyes were closed, his heart eyes scanned the surroundings, and he couldn't help but shake his head, "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the next round will have to be exposed!"

A muffled sound continued to sound in the square, and one by one the figures left the competition venue one after another.

"This Daluo Dynasty Alchemist Guild is really a good skill, the second round will refine the Double Dragon Pill, the top existence among the three grades, how many people can succeed?" A losing contestant walked out of the arena with a curse.

"That's it!" Another failed contestant walked out with a disgruntled face.

"Haha, if your level is not good, you still blame the pill for being too high? Why don't you all refine a grade of pills, and see how long it takes for you to decide the ranking!" Someone on the road couldn't help but sneer when they heard this.

"It's just that there are really everyone in this world!"

"It's time!" Su Wan shouted loudly, and a coercion enveloped the entire competition venue, and many contestants were forcibly terminated.

"Ouch......" Four people shook their heads, and before the referee could announce the verdict, they had already walked out of the playing field.

"The four of them haven't finished the Condensation Pill yet, if there is enough time, they will be able to condense the four Double Dragon Pills!" Shan Guan glanced at the medicine tripod that left the four people and said.

"Well, that's a pity!"

"In the second round, refining the three-grade Shuanglong Pill, there are seventeen Dan Chengcheng!" Elder Zhou Qian announced the results.

"The level of the alchemists who came here this time is much stronger than last time, and there are as many as seventeen people who can refine the Double Dragon Pill!" Su Wan nodded and said.

Hearing this, the prince also nodded, "I remember that the last time I refined only the entry-level three grades, and the final success was only fourteen!"

"Prince, how is the Poison Lan Kingdom?" Su Wan looked at the two figures standing in front of him and frowned and said.

When the prince heard this, he shook his head with a solemn expression, "I can't find any information, the dark stakes sent to the Poison Lan Kingdom should all be dead!"

"All dead?" Su Wan's face became extremely ugly, "It seems that I still have to look at the stinky boy!"

"Stinky boy?" The prince stared and smiled, "You are not afraid that Brother Lu will pull your beard

Gone?"

"That's not it, by the way, what's wrong with Luo Long?" Su Wan thought of the alchemist cultivated by the royal family and asked.

"The heart is always a little worse, and it's not a bad thing to experience a little blow!" The fourth prince waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Haven't I been living a precarious life in the past few years? I don't even know if I'll survive tomorrow!"

"What Your Highness said is very true, there is no tribulation at all, and the road ahead will not go far."

The second round ends, and the advancing contestants have a quarter of an hour to rest.

Alchemy, the most exhausting, long-term tension, no one can bear it, this is also for several contestants to better play their true level.

"The third round, refining the elixir, condensing the elixir!" Zhou Qian took out the scroll he pulled out and unfolded it, preaching loudly.

"Condensing Pill?" In the crowd below, many people frowned.

Condensing Pill, the four-grade pill, is already among the top ranks among the four products, and it is extremely difficult to refine, I never thought that this time the second round and the third round of the Daluo Dynasty were all pills that were extremely difficult to refine.

"Condensing Pill?" Lu Chen frowned, and even Su Wenwen, who was standing next to him, was surprised.

"Is this Condensing Pill related to me?" Lu Chen muttered in his heart.

Su Wenwen seemed to be able to see through Lu Chen's thoughts, "There is a saying that fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields!"

"This ......," Lu Chen said, "Are you so good?"

"Hmph, the question is that everyone looks at the randomly drawn Danfang, who can prove cheating?" Su Wenwen said with a curled face.

Lu Chen nodded, indeed, the scroll was pulled out of a pile of scrolls in the midst of many eyes, but I don't know how many of them were scrolls with the Divine Pill written on them.

"What a good move!" Lu Chen sighed in his heart.

This is more than going back, and the final prize is still back in the hands of the Alchemist Guild, and it has also made a reputation, of course, this also has to be the Alchemist Guild of the Daluo Dynasty to get the first place.

"The third round, the Four Grades of Condensing Divine Pill, begins!" Su Wan shouted loudly, and the voice resounded throughout the square,

The rules are still the same, in order to ensure fairness, you can only use the medicine tripod provided by the Alchemist Guild, otherwise, if it is of the same level, a good medicine tripod will play an auxiliary role, even if the fire is allowed to be used after repeated discussions by the Alchemist Guild.

After all, the world is so big, there are countless kindlings, but in the barren Southern Wilderness, the alchemists use almost all beast fires, which is already an extremely rare fire.

This kind of competition has been held too many times, and I have never heard of anyone under the age of thirty using a fire that surpasses the beast fire.

The alchemists who were able to enter the third round, the entire Alchemist Guild felt that it was impossible for anyone to not have beast fire.

Even if it's a wild cultivation, you can get it with your own resources.

Looking at the medicine tripod in front of him, Lu Chen nodded, this medicine tripod was much more advanced than the one used in the second round, and he could take out so many medicine tripods of the same level at the same time, Lu Chen was also amazed by the confidence of the Alchemist Guild.

Simple Wen Ding, even if he pretends, he has to pretend to be decent, and from time to time he looks at Su Wenwen who is not far away, Xiao Nizi is very attentive, and has already put a medicinal herb into the medicine tripod and began to purify.

As if sensing the gaze from the side, Su Wenwen turned his head and collided with Lu Chen's gaze, "Hmph!" With a low snort, Su Wenwen threw another medicinal herb into the medicine pod like a fighting.

"This little girl!" Lu Chen smiled in his heart, the other party was obviously unconvinced by the last loss, but he was helpless, this time refining the Condensing Pill was considered to have poked her sore spot, sulking there.
