Alchemy competition is a feast for all alchemists on the continent. No matter how high or low your identity is, as long as you can make a gain on this stage, it will be enough to reflect your value. Every five years, many excellent alchemists will emerge on the continent, and most of the royal alchemists in the five empires come from this.
Before the Holy War, there were many families with far greater strength than the current four soul clans. However, with the fall of a large number of strong men, the inheritance of many alchemists disappeared on the continent. Only the four soul clans now preserved relatively complete inheritance. It is precisely because of this that new alchemists continue to emerge, making the four soul clans famous all over the world.
Therefore, surpassing the four soul tribes has become the goal of many families mainly based on alchemy. The Alchemy Competition is an event jointly started by the Alchemy Guild and the Five Empires, in order to better promote the alchemist profession that has already shown a downward trend. However, no one in the Alchemy Competition can truly surpass the strong position of the four soul tribes, as if the final stage of the Alchemy Competition will always be just a stage for the competition between the four soul tribes.
However, the young alchemists' yearning for alchemy competitions did not weaken at all. Before the prescribed time was dawn, thousands of alchemists who came to participate in the alchem competition had gathered in front of the Alchem Guild. The Southern Fire Empire attached great importance to this grand event that belonged to its own country. The martial law order was issued the day before. Since the early morning, people who have not had the identity of an alchemist or were qualified to stay here.
Han Xuan, Shangguan Lingxue, and Xue Hong did not wait in front of the Alchemy Guild like others because of the convenience of Qi Tianyun. Instead, they entered the Alchemy Guild first. The alchemy trading ground that we had visited earlier had undergone earth-shaking changes. The entire huge venue was divided into two, and the space that could be seen with our eyes when entering the door was relatively small. At this time, a high platform that could accommodate twenty people was built.
This platform is not for competitions for the contestants, but for the specially invited guests from all over the world to watch the competition. The platform is ten meters high and can see the two parts of the arena. The seats above are comfortable seats that can rotate 360 degrees. Three temporary passages are built under the platform. Outside the passage, there is a venue that can accommodate ten thousand people, which is the place where the alchemist enters the venue.
Although Han Xuan and others could enter the venue early, they did not enter the center of the venue. Instead, they waited here in the preparation area and other participants who also came in advance. As long as the prescribed time arrived, guests from all over the world would come to the venue and then go to the participating alchemists to enter the venue. Only then can Han Xuan and others officially enter the competition area.
As time passed, the Alchemy Guild finally informed the participants to enter the preparation area in advance. The preparation area gradually became lively and soon gathered thousands of people, and the number was still increasing. Some people who were specially designed for watching the game also gradually entered the competition area through another channel and prepared to watch the game.
Due to the surge in the number of people, Han Xuan and others had already reached a corner of the preparation area. The three of them did not talk too much, but sat down here, not as excited as some other alchemists. Although this game was equally important to them, they were more just to prove themselves rather than wanting to gain a so-called future through the game.
Even after Xue Hong agreed to Han Xuan's invitation, his attitude towards the competition changed a lot. There were many other people with the same attitude. At this time, he was meditating on the spot and trying to adjust himself to his best condition. These people seemed to be much more high-profile. At this time, the partners who came with them were surrounding them in the middle, blocking other contestants from the circle and not allowing them to get close.
Han Xuan, who was meditating, could clearly hear other people's conversations, and knew that these people who seemed incompatible with other people were the leaders from the four soul clans and some alchemists who had become famous on the mainland. These alchemists were often hot topics for others.
The most eye-catching thing among the three Han Xuan is Shangguan Lingxue. After all, Shangguan Lingxue has gained a lot of reputation in the Southern Fire Empire in recent years, and even Xue Hong has been talked about. On the contrary, Han Xuan has basically no one knows him. It’s just that Jiang Long had just seen him a few times when he first came.
However, Han Xuan's spiritual consciousness was always floating in the air under the gray energy. This has become a habit in the presence of strangers and a sense of self-protection. But at this moment, a spiritual consciousness suddenly passed by Han Xuan's head. Although it did not stop, Han Xuan's spiritual consciousness still followed naturally. According to common sense, no one would release the spiritual consciousness to observe others here. After all, no matter how strong it is, it will produce some senses. Even the four popular contestants from the four major soul tribes in this competition cannot make people feel unaware of their spiritual consciousness. Moreover, doing so is an extremely impolite behavior.
However, what Han Xuan thought was the most unlikely thing happened at this moment. Han Xuan's spiritual consciousness followed closely behind him, and he was not afraid of being discovered by gray energy. He soon discovered that this person's spiritual consciousness paused above all the powerful alchemists and left quickly. But what surprised Han Xuan was that none of these alchemists had a sense of the spiritual consciousness of this person.
The preparation area is not very big for these alchemists. It may take only a few breaths to turn the spiritual consciousness into a circle, so Han Xuan soon saw the master of this spiritual consciousness. He was a person who looked so ordinary that he could not be more ordinary. Even if he was thrown into the pile of ordinary people, he might disappear in an instant.
But such a person has a spiritual sense that can avoid everyone's senses, which forced Han Xuan to take this person into his sight. At the same time, two other two people dressed the same as this person were also attracted by Han Xuan's attention. Han Xuan's spiritual sense stayed by the person for a while, and when he saw that he had no movement, he returned to his side.
Han Xuan retracted his spiritual sense and continued to guard himself above his head. At the same time, he sent a voice to tell Xue Hong and Shangguan Lingxue what he had discovered just now. As Han Xuan expected, they knew nothing about the behavior of the man just now. But after all, this was just a game, and Han Xuan was not worried about the dangers of the two of them, but he knew that there was another master invisibly in this game. With that man's soul power, he might be much higher than the four soul clans.
At this moment, the staff of the Alchemy Guild walked out to inform the players to enter the stadium. Han Xuan and his friends stood up and lined up in a long line to start entering the stadium one by one. There were as many as ten passages to enter the stadium, and each passage was guarded by a staff member. Before the contestants entered the stadium, the staff would inform the players to stand in the designated area according to their respective professions.
Although the stadium I saw after entering was only a small part of the entire venue, it was more than ten times larger than the preparation area, which immediately made all the participating alchemists feel a sudden enlightenment. After Han Xuan and the other two entered, they looked at each other, and then gave each other a cheerful look and walked towards the area of this profession.
There are nearly 10,000 alchemists participating in the competition, which seems to be a lot, but if you compare them with the many monks on the mainland, you can naturally see their rarity, but there is no preferential policy for them here. Even if you are from a high background, you still need to queue up to enter. Soon, a huge team of nearly 10,000 people will all enter the venue.
After all the alchemists stood up in their professions, a middle-aged man in purple robe walked out of the platform that was already full. He walked to the front of the platform and waved to everyone below to be quiet, and then said, "I'm glad to see so many excellent young alchemists here. Today is the five-year alchemist competition, which is the best stage to verify your efforts for many years. I can tell you that no matter whether you are from a famous family or a casual cultivator walking alone on the mainland, as long as you can stand on this stage, it means that you have the status of a noble alchemist, so I hope you can achieve excellent results in this competition."
There was applause from the audience, and all the young alchemists were extremely excited. The middle-aged man in purple robe waved his hand again and said: "There is not much change in this alchemy competition compared to the past. It is still carried out in sub-items. The first item is to test soul power auditions, the second item is to refine the works you think you are most proud of. The third item is to be given by the senior alchemist of the competition organizing committee. All the advanced contestants will refine them. However, the final work belongs to the Alchemist Guild. Well, this is your stage. First, the first item is to be held. The three channels below the rostrum are the test channels for the soul power auditions. All contestants enter the profession channel according to different professions. Those who pass will enter the next stadium for the next competition, and those who fail will be sent to the next stadium stand channel. Start the competition."
As the order to start the competition came out, one staff member walked out of each of the three channels, and all the contestants automatically began to walk towards the channel with obvious professional signs. The passage was very bright, and the contestants walked in one after another. Everyone did not know what form the soul power test was conducted. After all, this first item was the most variable in the alchemy competition in history, and the methods of each session were different.
The passage is not very long, only less than a hundred meters long, but all the players cannot see the situation in the next stadium through the exit. As the exit gets closer, everyone can feel the fluctuations in their soul power, so they gradually realize that the exit is where the test is really started.
Such a mysterious test method made the contestants both excited and nervous. Although Han Xuan was not only that, when he came to the exit at the end of the passage, a small fluctuation appeared in his heart. However, the fluctuation flashed and Han Xuan stepped into it.
