Mu Jin is dead. He will never have any more children in his life. He truly treated his only disciple as his own child.
Huo Yao spoke up, "You brat, find me a quiet place to stay in the Illusionary Concealment Sect first. I'll stay for a while, and whether I stay or not will depend on your performance."
"During my stay at the Illusionary Concealment Sect, I can serve as your free henchman as payment for lodging."
Lin Muze beamed with joy, "Master, come on, I'll arrange the most comfortable and peaceful courtyard for you right away."
Ruan Xiyan, who was in Medicine City, was unaware that, through Lin Muze's earnest persuasion, she had finally convinced a pseudo-immortal realm expert to support the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
The grand alchemy gathering arrived as scheduled.
The president of the Alchemists Guild took the main seat on the high platform; he was a dignified-looking middle-aged man.
The presidents of the four alchemist guilds, representing the east, west, south, and north respectively, sat beside him.
The spacious alchemy plaza in front of us is the venue for this grand alchemy event.
Not only were ordinary people gathered below to watch, but many alchemists also squeezed into the crowd to observe.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.
The Alchemy Grand Gathering has clear rules: only those with an alchemy level of four or above are eligible to participate and compete for a spot to enter the Dan realm.
Even those alchemists who didn't qualify to participate in the grand event flocked to Medicine City.
Because each alchemy gathering will feature some highly skilled alchemists, being able to witness their alchemy techniques can be of great help to them in their future alchemy endeavors.
It could even benefit them immensely for life; such an opportunity is rare and precious, so they would do anything to come and see it.
Yan Gonglin, the president of the Alchemists Guild, looked at the alchemists who had ascended to the designated alchemy location and announced the rules of this grand alchemy event.
"This alchemy competition consists of three events. In each event, I, the guild leader, will award different scores based on the performance of each alchemist."
"The person who accumulates the most points in the three competitions will be crowned the champion of this alchemy competition."
"The winner will not only receive a spot to enter the Dan Realm, but will also receive three spiritual herbs and 100,000 high-grade spirit stones as a reward."
"The top ten alchemists in the Alchemy Grand Gathering can enter the Dan Realm. In addition, the four major alchemy branches will rank themselves based on the number of people in the top fifty."
"The number of alchemists in the four major alchemist branches is the largest among the top fifty in the alchemy competition. The one ranked first can get an extra five spots to enter the Dan realm."
"The second-ranked branch will receive three additional slots, the third-ranked branch will receive two additional slots, and the bottom-ranked alchemist branch will not receive any additional slots."
"The extra slots acquired by the Alchemist Branch can be allocated and handled by the Branch Leader at his own discretion."
"Of course, if an alchemist from one of the four major alchemist branches wins the championship, the alchemist branch will receive a certain number of members, plus ten more members."
In other words, as long as the champion of the alchemy competition is someone from one of the four major alchemy branches, and the other disciples from that alchemy branch who win the competition do not drag the team down.
Therefore, securing first place and obtaining the five extra spots to enter the Dan Realm is a certainty.
Ultimately, there are only twenty slots available for those who advance to the Dan realm.
Rogue alchemists can only rely on their own abilities to win a place in the top ten of the alchemy competition in order to obtain a spot in the Dan realm.
Alchemists located in the Alchemist Guild have a natural advantage and more opportunities to enter the Dan Realm.
Because half of the spots for entering the Dan realm were directly given to them, whether they could get them, or how many they could get, depended on the performance of each alchemist branch.
This is why alchemists on the mainland all want to join the alchemist guild.
"The reward for the Alchemy Grand Gathering is entry into the Pill Realm, which all alchemists dream of, for ten days."
"The opportunity to enter the Dan realm is extremely rare. I hope that all alchemists will use their best skills and give it their all."
After Yan Gonglin finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, creating a barrier that enveloped the alchemists participating in the alchemy competition.
"As we all know, to become an excellent alchemist, one must possess strong mental power and fire."
"The first competition of the Alchemy Grand Gathering will test the alchemists' control over flames and mental power."
"You need to use flames to condense into a physical form, and then use your mental power to control the condensed flames to attack."
"Whoever's flame remains until the end will be the winner of the first competition. During the competition, I will award different points based on your performance."
"I hereby declare that the first competition has now officially begun." As Yan Gonglin finished speaking, flames of different colors appeared in the alchemist's hand.
Flames vary in size, color, temperature, and power.
This competition not only tests the power of the flames, but also a person's mental strength.
If one possesses only powerful flames but lacks mental strength to condense them into a form for attack, then even the strongest flames will be useless.
The alchemist with strong mental power was the first to condense the flames into a solid form and attack the nearby alchemists.
The slow-reacting alchemist had his flame extinguished before it could take shape, thus eliminating him from the competition.
Various forms of flame appeared in the air, resembling dazzling fireworks, both beautiful and dangerous.
If Yan Gonglin hadn't set up a barrier around the area beforehand, those onlookers wouldn't have dared to watch at such close range.
After all, even the weakest flame controlled by an alchemist still possesses considerable power against ordinary people.
Alchemists with strong fire and mental power condensed powerful beasts into physical forms, while those with weaker fire and mental power condensed spiritual plants into physical forms that were not good at attacking.
The fiery entities tore at each other in the air, with the powerful flames smashing apart the weaker ones.
"Pfft—" The flames controlled by the alchemists were scattered, and they themselves were also knocked back a few steps, regretfully withdrawing from the first competition.
The Glazed Demon Flame within Ruan Xiyan's body was restless and agitated. As soon as it appeared in her hand, it eagerly headed towards the flames in the air.
If Ruan Xiyan hadn't stopped it in time, it would have dashed off long ago.
So excited? Ruan Xiyan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Her Glazed Demon Flame is different from other flames; even without taking a solid form, its destructive power is immense.
She looked around at the flames but didn't find any that posed a significant threat to her; the Glazed Demon Flame was handling their flames with ease.
However, the rules of the competition require the flames to be condensed into a physical form first, and then controlled using mental power.
