Chapter Forty-Six: The Dawn of the Dawn
"Yo, isn't this Xiang Pavilion Master, I heard that Xiang Pavilion Master has been in the thick of things recently."
An unpleasant voice came, and a burly middle-aged man walked towards Xiangtian with a few people.
The Treasure Pavilion is spread all over the continent, and the Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly Emperor Kingdom only has a headquarters in the Heavenly Emperor Kingdom, and the branches in the Treasure Pavilion of other countries have their own headquarters.
At the annual alchemist ranking meeting of this Treasure Pavilion, all the pavilion masters of dozens of cities gathered, and naturally there was a hostile relationship between the pavilion masters.
Ye Xingchen stood quietly behind Xiang Tian and didn't speak, all he had to do now was to watch quietly, and then wait for the Alchemist Conference to start.
"Ben Lei, don't come unharmed." Xiang Tian snorted coldly and said immediately.
Ben Lei, the Pavilion Master of Xuantian City, is on a par with Xiang Tian in cultivation, and the place in charge of Ben Lei is only one place higher than Yan City.
If Yancheng's ranking rises this time, then it will be his Xuantian City Pavilion Master who will be removed.
Once a person has taken power, no one is willing to give up and choose to become an obscure person.
All human beings have desires, and when this desire is expanded, no one can resist this desire for power.
Xiang Tian is also a scheming person, and yesterday's assassination was done by Ben Lei.
Xiang Tian was glad that the person he brought this time was Ye Xingchen, if he was a different person, he would definitely be injured or even die if he didn't notice it.
"I heard that your Yancheng has been selling five-grade pills recently, and I don't know if it's true or not." Ben Lei said angrily.
"Hmph, you don't need to know if it's true or not, you just need to know that the pavilion master who was eliminated this time must be you." Xiang Tian said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Ben Lei's face was extremely ugly, and he wanted to be angry, but finally held back.
Now is the Alchemist Conference, if you do it here, you will definitely be held accountable by the headquarters, and in the end, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Ben Lei is a villain, he never does things that are not beneficial to himself, so he will not make such a stupid decision.
"Then we'll see." Ben Lei said angrily and shook his hand away.
After all the pavilion masters exchanged pleasantries, they immediately came to the center of the venue.
The Treasure Pavilion is rich and rich, and the place that can be selected by the Treasure Pavilion is naturally huge.
As far as the eye can see, the entire arena can accommodate tens of thousands of people to sit at the same time, and there is a loft for all guests to watch.
On the main seat, in addition to the figures of the three old men, there was also a familiar figure of Ye Xingchen, that was Lingyun Linglao.
Looking at the Lingyun who was talking and laughing in the main seat, the corners of Ye Xingchen's mouth hooked a shallow arc.
"Hehe, what I'm looking forward to the most is the Alchemist Conference of the Treasure Pavilion, guess who will win the championship this year?"
"Needless to say, it must be Shi Hao, he has won the championship for three consecutive years."
"Tsk, I don't think so, maybe it's Fang Tong, you must know that in the last competition, Fang Tong only almost won the championship."
"Haha, no matter who wins the championship, there's a good show to watch anyway."
In the audience, everyone was enthusiastic about it.
According to the ranking, Ye Xingchen was brought to the last alchemist seat.
When Xiang Tian took Ye Xingchen to register his identity information, the registration staff were a little incredulous, the representative of Yancheng was actually an underage teenager.
When Ben Lei saw Ye Xingchen become a representative, he almost didn't raise his head and laughed, a hairy boy who had not dried up could also become a representative to participate in such a grand alchemist competition.
In fact, all the alchemists participating in the competition will not be less than thirty years old, so Ye Xingchen's appearance is indeed unacceptable to everyone.
According to the rules of the Alchemist Competition, the competition is divided into three stages, and the first competition is to assess the knowledge of alchemy.
When all the contestants have entered their positions according to the ranking, the examiner will inform all the contestants of the questions aloud.
"This little bit of shallow knowledge also wants to stump me?" Ye Xingchen muttered in his heart with some disdain.
Immediately, he picked up the pen and ink and began to write on the paper.
Compared to other people who need to think for a long time before slowly writing the answers they think are correct, Ye Xingchen has already written all the answers in just one minute.
"Yancheng seems to be empty, let a hairy boy play, look at his fluent writing answers, it is estimated that it is a scribble." Ben Lei scoffed.
"The pavilion master is wise, I think that the one who will be dismissed from the position of pavilion master this year must be Xiang Tian." The people around Ben Lei echoed.
Hearing this, Ben Lei was in a good mood, although the assassination plan at the beginning was not successful, but it was naturally a good thing to be able to see Xiang Tian lose his position as the pavilion master.
Soon, everyone handed in their answers, quietly waiting for Lingyun and the other four to review and finally score.
The competition assessment is divided into three tiers, each tier will accumulate points, and only the one with the highest score accumulation will be the champion of the competition.
Since it is a competition, there is naturally a reward, according to the previous rules, the first prize is to go to the karst cave to practice for ten days, a mysterious weapon.
Ye Xingchen had no interest in the mysterious weapon, but the karst cave might be a treasure place for cultivation, and Ye Xingchen naturally wanted to try it if he could make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
After the cacophony of chatter, everyone fell silent as the next step was to announce the first winner of the first tier of the competition.
"I announce that the person with the highest assessment score in this level is Ye Xingchen." Ling Lao said in a loud voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded again, because they didn't know who Ye Xingchen was.
"Hey, who is this Ye Xingchen? Could it be a newly killed dark horse? ”
"It's not easy, if you can defeat Shi Hao and Fang Tong at the same time, it should not be good."
"It's interesting, it's really interesting, hahaha, I didn't expect that this time it would actually allow an unknown person to win the first game."
In the audience, everyone started talking.
Of all the people present, only Xiang Tian and Lingyun knew that Ye Xingchen would definitely be able to get a high ranking, but winning the first place at the beginning also shocked them.
In the first competition, the method of identifying medicinal materials and marking the use of medicinal materials was compared.
"Judge, I ask to see the answer of the first place." It was Shi Hao who spoke.
"I'll see it too." Fang Tong immediately agreed.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent again, and they also wanted to know how wonderful it would be to be able to defeat these two best alchemists at the same time.
"Presumptuous, are you questioning the judgment of the four of us?" Lingyun said angrily.
"Don't dare, we just want to observe, and we can be considered convinced that we will lose." Shi Hao said.
