Tang Zhengde had a relatively good temper. If it weren't for the old lady of the Chen family holding him back, Jian Wuyai of the Blazing Flame Sect would have raised his hand to give the old man a sword strike.
"Master Bailiqiu Pavilion."
Hong Qiqi raised her delicate eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "This is only the second match, and it doesn't represent the final outcome. It would be too hasty to decide who is first, second, and third now. There are still three matches to go, so why don't we continue to observe and see?"
"Haha, Master Hong really knows how to talk. That's right, this is only the second match, and it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious."
The old man in red robes laughed and said, "Then let's continue the competition and see who will be the final winner! Alliance Leader Gongsun, although your Alchemist Alliance is the host, you can't always let us win. It's time to step up your game. If you come in last on your home turf, you'll be a laughing stock."
"snort!"
Gongsun Zhusha snorted coldly, "Then there's no need for Pavilion Master Baili Qiu to trouble himself. There are still three matches to go, let's wait and see!"
As they spoke, the three alchemists who had already advanced began to leave.
Sikong Yao returned to the Alchemist Alliance camp and said apologetically to Gongsun Zhusha, "I'm sorry, Alliance Leader, I couldn't bring glory to the Alliance..."
"well."
Gongsun Zhusha sighed and said, "Forget it, there's no need to talk about what's already happened. Anyway, there are still three matches left. Let's aim for second place and try for first. Xu Chang'an will be competing in the third match. I hope he can bring glory to our alliance."
"Xu Chang'an?"
Upon hearing this, Sikong Yao snorted contemptuously, looked at the black-robed elder not far away, and said sarcastically, "What glory can a sixth-grade alchemist like him bring to the Alchemist Alliance? Back then, the Holy Maiden brought him back to the Alchemist Alliance and even suggested to you that he be given the position of elder, but this matter has never been convincing! If he disgraces the alliance this time, Alliance Leader, you can no longer show favoritism!"
The second match is still ongoing.
With the three top alchemy forces successfully refining three batches of grade nine pills, other alchemy forces also had alchemists complete the competition one after another.
The five hours were quickly coming to an end.
Zhang Canglang once again gracefully descended from the high platform and announced the results of the second match.
This time, out of 103 alchemy factions, only 21 advanced.
These twenty-one alchemy factions are among the most elite alchemy factions in the entire cultivation world, and will become the objects of cooperation sought by all the major powerhouses present.
In fact, for these top alchemy forces, being able to show their face in front of the major peak forces in the cultivation world is the most important thing. The prizes of the Alchemist Conference cannot bring them much substantial benefit, since the biggest prizes always belong to the Divine Pill Pavilion, Medicine King Valley and Alchemist Alliance.
"The second match has ended, and a total of twenty-one teams have advanced!"
Zhang Canglang's voice resounded throughout the entire Alliance Square.
He looked around and continued, "Next, we will proceed with the third match."
"For a sect, or even an industry, especially the alchemist world, to survive and thrive in the long term, it must first have the ability to continuously innovate."
"This third competition will be a contest of new elixirs, with a time limit of one hour."
"Those who refine a new pill within the specified time will advance. After the third round of competition, they will be ranked according to the grade of the pills refined by all those who advance."
"Now, please have the twenty-one advanced alchemy forces send their alchemists to the stage!"
As Zhang Canglang finished speaking, twenty-one alchemists from top alchemy forces floated down from the high platform and took out their respective furnaces and alchemy materials.
The Monkey King in the crowd spotted Xu Chang'an, who was dressed in black robes, at a glance.
It had been almost a year since I last saw Xu Chang'an, and he was still the same as before, dressed in a black robe, with a kind face and a friendly demeanor.
The only difference was that Xu Chang'an had more wrinkles and age spots on his face, which made the Monkey King feel quite sorry for him.
