As soon as Zhang Canglang finished speaking, hundreds of alchemy factions on the high platform sent people out.
Soon, the once empty square was filled with alchemists in long robes.
The group of alchemists took out their furnaces and related alchemy materials, and made preparations before refining the pills.
After a short preparation time, Zhang Canglang announced loudly, "The first round of elimination matches is now beginning. The time limit is six hours. Start the countdown!"
Upon hearing this, hundreds of alchemists immediately put the materials into the furnace, circulated their spiritual energy, and began refining pills.
All eyes turned to the hundreds of alchemists in the arena.
The Monkey King in the crowd clicked his tongue.
This first round of elimination is clearly intended to kick out those mediocre and small-scale alchemy forces.
If they can't even refine eighth-grade pills, then such a pill-making force can't even be considered medium-sized.
Even if some emerging forces are lucky enough to obtain seventh or eighth-grade pill formulas, the elimination rounds have time limits. Ordinary alchemists are slow at refining pills. To refine eight batches of pills within six hours, at least a veteran eighth-grade alchemist with rich experience in alchemy would have to personally take action.
In this way, once the elimination rounds are over, the remaining alchemy forces will be the most authoritative entities in the entire alchemist world.
A large number of elixirs in the cultivation world are also provided by these authoritative alchemy forces.
The reason why the top forces in the cultivation world are willing to participate in the Alchemist Conference is that they want to use the conference to forge good relationships with those authoritative alchemy forces.
For a top-tier power to cultivate one genius after another, the support of high-grade pills is indispensable. However, the pill-making branches under a top-tier power often have limited supply of these high-grade pills. Therefore, forming an alliance with an authoritative pill-making power is the best choice.
Back in the State of Qi, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven understood how high the status of alchemists was in the cultivation world.
He was also an alchemist, and even single-handedly defeated the entire Sacred Pill Pavilion when the Qi Kingdom was fighting against the Ink Sea Empire.
However, as the crisis facing the Great Sage Equaling Heaven grew larger and the opponents became stronger, his alchemist talent had nowhere to be displayed, so he could only focus on improving his cultivation level and trying to survive in the cracks.
Six hours is neither short nor long; for practitioners who frequently engage in seclusion, it is merely a blink of an eye.
Soon, the first round of elimination matches was drawing to a close.
"bite!"
A bell tolls!
Zhang Canglang once again floated down from the high platform, enveloping all the participating alchemists with his spiritual energy, forcing those who were still racing against time to stop their actions, sweating profusely.
"The first round of elimination matches has concluded. The results are now announced!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several elders of the Alchemist Alliance stepped out from behind Zhang Canglang and began to check on the alchemists' progress.
"The Medicine King Valley of the Western Regions has successfully refined eight batches of pills, advancing to the next level!"
"The Western Regions Star Tower only produced seven batches of pills; it is now eliminated!"
"The Southern Spirit Pill Sect only managed to refine six batches of pills; they are eliminated!"
"The Divine Pill Pavilion of Central Continent..."
As several elders of the Alchemist Alliance checked the results of the alchemy and announced the list of those who advanced and those who were eliminated, the results of the first round of elimination matches were soon announced.
There were a total of 867 alchemical sects participating in the first round of elimination matches.
After the knockout stage, only 103 teams successfully advanced.
Although there are quite a few eighth-grade alchemists among these 867 alchemists, at least more than 500, the time limit is too short. Apart from experienced and seasoned eighth-grade alchemists, it is really not an easy task to refine eight batches of pills within six hours.
