After singing, dancing, acrobatics, and sword dancing with monks in the center of the stage, the competition officially began.
A man holding a loudspeaker walked to the center of the square and said, "The Alchemy Competition has begun."
At this time, a handsome man and a beautiful woman slowly walked towards the palace gate.
The woman was wearing a long, flowing dress, the sleeves of which fluttered like a dreamy nebula.
The skirt is embroidered with mysterious runes and sparkling gems, which sparkle mysteriously under the light.
Her long hair, like a waterfall, was gently tied up with an exquisite crystal hair accessory, and a few strands of hair naturally fell beside her fair cheeks.
Her figure is as straight and upright as a graceful lotus, and her slightly raised chin reveals her innate pride and confidence.
The man next to him was wearing a gorgeous purple and gold robe with patterns of mighty mythical beasts embroidered on it with gold thread, exuding a majestic aura.
He wore a black cloak on his shoulders, the edge of which was inlaid with precious magic stones and fluttered slightly in the wind.
His face was stern, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were as deep as cold pools, and he looked somewhat like the emperor.
When the audience saw the person coming, they burst into cheers and applause again.
Lu Jingzhi looked at the two elegant men and asked, "President Dan, who is this person?"
"This is the eldest prince of the Tianxin Empire and his sister, the second princess."
Then, Dan Chen put away his amiable smile and said, "Friend Lu, these two princes and princess are both outstanding in the Mortal Realm in terms of strength and alchemy ability."
"Really? It seems like winning this competition is going to be really difficult."
At this time, the man in the square shouted, "Contestants, please enter with your invitation."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi, Dan Yu and the three contestants from the Alchemy Association stood up and jumped down from the clouds.
The staff walked up to each contestant one by one, holding a scanning tool in their hand, and checked the entry card.
After each scan, a green light will light up, indicating that the test has passed.
Then, a number card will pop up automatically, showing the contestant's number.
Lu Jingzhi got card number eight, while Danyu got card number twenty.
After the staff completed the scanning work one by one, a total of more than 130 license plates appeared.
At this moment, the man holding the loudspeaker turned to face the emperor and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, please give the order to activate the square spiritual formation."
The emperor nodded slightly.
So, people evacuated from the center of the square and retreated to the edge of the square to make room for the upcoming game.
The emperor picked up a token, which immediately flashed blue light.
Immediately afterwards, the entire square began to tremble and emit a low roar.
The square is centered on the statue and gradually separates on both sides.
The alchemy field below slowly rose up, and a number of alchemy stone platforms were neatly placed on the alchemy platform.
As the venue changed, a staff member announced loudly: "Contestants, please find the corresponding alchemy stone table according to your card number and stand in front of it."
According to his number eight card, Lu Jingzhi came to the eighth position in the first row.
Since he was sitting in the first row, facing the VIP seats, he could clearly see what was happening there.
The prince and princess are numbers one and two.
The emperor slowly stood up from the glittering golden chair again and said in a resounding voice, "My dear ministers, the first competition of this alchemy competition will be to refine the fourth-grade elixir - the Yang Body Divine Pill."
"We will provide each contestant with two identical medicinal herbs and recipes."
"The judges will judge based on the quality of the pills you refine and the time it takes to refine them, and will give you corresponding scores."
“I hope you all can achieve excellent results and live up to my expectations!”
After the rules were explained, the emperor returned to his seat.
At the same time, several staff members in official uniforms walked quickly towards the contestants, holding a low-grade sodium ring and a pill recipe.
Lu Jingzhi took the storage ring and pill formula handed to him by the staff, then opened the storage ring to check the items inside.
(Yangti Shendan)
(Flaming Sun Fire Seed, Pure Yang Dragon Blood Ginseng, Nine Sun Flower, Fiery Sun Fruit, Flaming Sun Grass, Golden Sun Stone Powder... Fourth-level Demon Pill.)
Lu Jingzhi carefully picked up the golden powder in the jar and felt the scorching heat it emitted.
"As far as I know, this Jinyang Stone powder is extracted from Jinyang Stone through a special process."
“If you don’t handle it carefully, it will easily be reduced to ashes by the Dan Fire.”
"It seems that this competition is not easy."
After muttering to himself, he took out the tattered alchemy furnace from his storage ring, which looked like it would fall apart at any time, and placed it on the alchemy stone table.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the audience and echoed throughout the entire competition venue.
