In Wutan City, I started to practice the Heavenly Grade Kungfu

Chapter 123 Prediction, the Conference Begins

Fa Ma smiled and introduced Xiao Yang and Mitchell respectively.

After learning about Xiao Yang's identity, Mitchell's words suddenly became more respectful.

There is no way. Who dares to disrespect a Dou Zong master?

The test time was up, and Mitchell said no more. He pointed to the left side of the hall, where many black curtains were hung on the wall: "Behind each curtain, there is a separate small compartment. That is your examination room..."

"As we all know, the extraction of medicinal materials is an extremely important step in refining elixirs, and our test this time is to test your extraction of medicinal materials..."

"The medicinal materials used for the test have been prepared on the tables in each small room. What you need to do is to refine the medicinal materials to the maximum purity you can achieve in the shortest possible time."

“Before the hourglass has completely dripped down, those who have not completed the refining will fail.

Moreover, even if you succeed, we old guys will serve as judges. If the herbs you extract do not meet our requirements, you will also be considered a failure, and the outcome of failure is to lose the qualification to participate in the competition."

Mitchell pointed to the hourglass on the table, glanced at the young alchemists below, and smiled faintly.

After hearing such a severe punishment for failure, the young people below looked at each other, and except for a few people, their expressions changed slightly.

"Okay, let's get started. Pay attention to the time on the hourglass."

Hearing this, the people in the hall began to walk to the left in groups of three or four, then each of them lifted the black curtain and walked in.

Xiao Yang also found a small compartment and walked in.

The room was not spacious, but it was quite tidy. There was a bluestone platform against the wall of the small room. On the platform was an hourglass and several neatly stacked medicinal herbs.

Walking to the stone platform, Xiao Yang glanced at the charcoal-like medicinal herbs, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He murmured in a low voice: "It turns out to be the most burning-resistant black iron spirit leaf. It takes a lot of energy to refine this thing. These old guys are really hard on me."

However, for an eighth-grade alchemist like Xiao Yang, this level is obviously nothing to write home about.

....................................

In the quiet hall, Chemiel and others on the high platform sat on chairs with their eyes closed, and on the table in front of them, the hourglass was slowly falling...

After the quiet atmosphere lasted for an unknown amount of time, Mitchell was the first to open his eyes. He glanced at the hourglass that was almost halfway empty, moved his body, and coughed softly: "Not yet..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yang had already opened the black curtain and walked out: "It's done."

Mitchell glanced at Xiao Yang and lifted the black cloth again, revealing a delicate machine that was shining with a faint light.

"This is a purity measuring instrument made by some famous casters invited by our Alchemist Guild. It can accurately test the purity of the materials you refine." Mitchell pointed to a groove and said, "This is where the test materials are placed."

After that, he pointed to a screen where characters were flashing continuously. "And here, it shows the purity. It is based on a ten-point scale. Ten is the highest, one is the lowest, and four is a pass."

Xiao Yang took out a jade bottle and poured the powder of the refined ironwood spirit leaf into it. A huge red "X" slowly appeared on the screen of the test machine...

After the prediction, Xiao Yang went straight back to the hotel owned by the Mittel family.

....................................

The sky is blue and cloudless, the sun is warm but not scorching, and a breeze occasionally blows by, taking away the noise in the city and making people feel refreshed.

Today is a major event in the Jia Ma Empire. The Alchemist Conference, which is held every eight years, will kick off today!

Since the first ray of sunlight broke through the shackles of the earth and shone on this historic city, figures in twos and threes wearing alchemist robes began to appear on the quiet streets.

Today, all the shops in the Holy City of Gama opened earlier than usual. Countless people crawled out of their warm beds and stood at the gates, looking at the large groups of alchemists walking hurriedly on the streets, their eyes filled with enthusiasm and awe.

The Alchemist Conference in the next few days will be the most lively and exciting period of the year in the Holy City of Gama...

The venue for this conference competition is at the Royal Square.

Outside the square at this time, there were heavily armed troops stationed here to maintain order. This kind of conference gathered countless strong people from all directions. If a riot broke out, the imperial capital would suffer a huge impact, so the Gama royal family This is extremely careful.

At the entrance of the square, there are inspectors from the Alchemist Guild. Only members of the guild and contestants can enter from here. As for the audience seats, there is another entrance.

Under the guidance of President Fa Mammoth, Xiao Yang entered the square unimpeded, walked up a steep slope, and then, the huge square, which was like a giant, finally appeared completely in Xiao Yang's sight.

The square is in the shape of a circle. A rough inspection shows that there are at least tens of thousands of seats on both sides of the square, which must be the auditorium.

Opposite the auditorium, the VIP chairs with obviously more luxurious decorations were specially prepared for the guild leaders and the heads of the major forces in the imperial capital.

Looking across the extremely spacious square, Xiao Yang discovered that there were thousands of bluestone square platforms neatly distributed in it. These square platforms were distributed in a staggered manner and placed very neatly.

In the square at this time, there were already many alchemists participating in the competition. They were sitting quietly on the stone chairs behind the bluestone square platform, waiting for the competition time to come. And as time went by, more and more people The alchemists poured out of the passage, and then looked for their position according to the test cards they received.

Xiao Yang followed Fa Ma all the way to the VIP seats and looked down at the venue below.

At this time, in the square below, as time passed, more and more alchemists began to enter.

Moreover, in the auditorium on the opposite side, countless lively girls let out bursts of adoring screams that made people laugh.

As the sun moved across the sky, the number of people in the VIP seats increased. Most of these people were powerful people or their families in the imperial capital. The audience seats on the opposite side had already become packed with people, and their shouts gathered into a torrent, rushing straight into the sky.

………………………………As time passed, this Alchemist Conference finally kicked off slowly under the attention of everyone.

When a clear bell sounded in the square, the uproar suddenly became quiet...

Listening to the sound of the bell that kept echoing in his ears, Fa Ma stood up tremblingly, then slowly walked to the front of the VIP seats, and swept his eyes over the thousands of alchemists sitting behind the bluestone platform below. At this time, more than two thousand alchemists also raised their heads and cast awe-inspiring glances at this old man who had an extremely high reputation in the alchemy world of the Jia Ma Empire.

"In the name of the president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild, I declare that the Gama Empire's Seventh Alchemist Conference has begun!"

"boom!"

The whole place was boiling with excitement, and the cheers and applause reached the sky!
Standing in front of the VIP table, Fa Ma looked at the boiling square. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Now, all contestants, please enter your seats."

Although the square was crowded with people at the moment and even the sound of the bells could hardly be heard, the sound of Fa Ma's chuckle still rang in everyone's ears. This showed that this seemingly dying old man was also extremely powerful.

After hearing Fa Ma's words, many alchemists stood up in the VIP seats. Most of these alchemists were trained or recruited by some major forces in the Jia Ma Empire.

Because they have the support of the forces behind them, the level of these alchemists is generally higher than those of the freelance alchemists.

The high platform is dozens of meters high from the square below. At such a height, these young people, who are still only fighting masters or even fighters, naturally do not dare to jump directly, so there are special corridors on both sides of the corridor leading to the VIP seats. At this time, they were slowly walking down the stairs in the square under the gaze of countless eyes.

"Haha, Xiao Yang, Xiao Yue'er, Liu Ling, you guys should also go to your respective seats...

In addition, because of your outstanding prediction results, the position there belongs to you...

This will make you the focus of everyone's attention." Fa Ma pointed to the center of the square.

There were a dozen huge bluestone platforms. Not only were the areas of these bluestone platforms larger than the others, but even their foundations seemed to be higher than the others. Such an eye-catching and special location would naturally make the people standing on them the focus of the entire audience.

Following Fa Ma's pointing, the three of them looked at that special place, but their expressions were somewhat different. Liu Ling was surprised and a little excited, while the little princess was curious and eager to try.

Xiao Yang remained calm and composed.

Millions of people had passed the college entrance examination in their previous lives, let alone a competition of just two thousand people? It was just the number of people in one examination room.

What's more, this game will not determine the fate of your life.

The psychological pressures faced by the two are completely different.

Although Xiao Yang did not have extraordinary powers like the Douqi Continent in his previous life, facing psychological pressure has nothing to do with extraordinary powers.

"You two, I'm going to take the first step."

"You two, I'm going to take the first step."

Liu Ling was the first to respond, and laughed at Xiao Yang and the others. Then he tapped the ground lightly, rushed to the edge of the platform, glanced at the huge square below, and leaped down amid countless surprised boos from the VIP seats.

His body fell rapidly, and just before he landed, Liu Ling's heels suddenly spurted out two visible Dou Qi pillars. With the help of the unloading force of the Dou Qi pillars, he fell to the ground unscathed, and then there was a fiery scene in the field. In his eyes, he smiled and quickly walked up to the center of the square.

"This guy really likes to show off, but I thought you were the only one who could dance." Looking at Liu Ling, who jumped straight down and attracted the attention of the audience, the little princess curled her lips, and with a leap of her delicate body, she also jumped directly Flashing out of the high platform, her body was like a fallen leaf, sliding down gracefully and gracefully. Her beautiful posture was like that of a goddess.

"Ho, ho..." The little princess's beautiful hand was undoubtedly more attractive than Liu Ling's before, and because of her delicate and cute appearance, this time not only the VIP table heard a howl of wolves, but also the people opposite. Deafening roars also came from the audience.

"Haha, old man Jia, I didn't expect that you would teach even your 'Flying Catkins' to this little girl. I've said before that your body movement and fighting skills are more suitable for women." Looking at the little princess's figure that completely ignored gravity and floated down, Fa Ma couldn't help but turn his head and smiled at old Jia.

"She has only learned the basics of this fighting technique. She only pursues beauty. If she fights against an enemy, she will become a target."

Jia Lao smiled and shook his head. Although he said this, looking at the smile on his face, it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with the hand shown by the little princess.

Xiao Yang shook his head and pointed his toes. It was like a thunderbolt, cutting through the sky. Accompanied by a faint sound of thunder, in just a moment, his figure appeared on the stage.

The first move of “Sky-Splitting Leg”: “Thunder Splits the Sky”.

Xiao Yang looked across the bluestone platform and found a stack of herbs neatly stacked on top of it. In front of the herbs was a piece of thin paper.

In addition, there is a jade mirror inlaid in front of the bluestone platform, which is flickering with a faint blue-red light.

After taking the thin paper, Xiao Yang glanced at it casually and found that it was a prescription for a second-grade elixir.

However, this prescription was obviously just a random copy of the amount of medicinal materials and other things, and the specifications and pattern were completely inconsistent with the orthodox prescription making.

What's even more outrageous is that the medicinal materials placed on the stone platform are clearly only enough to refine two pills. In other words, everyone has only one chance to fail.

If you fail the second time, the result will be obvious, the medicinal materials have been used up, and then you have no choice but to quit.

.......................................

The quiet atmosphere lasted for nearly five minutes, and a crisp bell rang quietly in the square.

Hearing the sound of the bell, all the contestants put down their objects in unison, and with a move of their palms, thousands of cauldrons of different colors and shapes suddenly appeared on the bluestone platform.

As the bell rang, Fa Ma, who had slightly closed his eyes, opened them, and swept his gaze downwards. His gentle voice echoed in everyone's ears: "I believe you have understood something. This first round of assessment requires you to refine a finished pill according to this incomplete prescription. Each of you has two chances. If the pill is not successfully refined after two attempts, the jade mirror on the bluestone platform will automatically light up red. As the red light flashes, you will leave..."
