Liu Zichen indifferently said, "We, the Transcendents, are getting fewer and fewer. I think you all should be clear about the purpose of this Pill Refining Conference. We should put aside our prejudices."

"Yes." The moment Liu Zichen opened his mouth, these five people didn't even dare to fart.

Ah'Bao calmly threw these Tier 1 spiritual herbs into the Nine Dragon Cauldron. He could refine a grade-1 pill in five minutes, but in order to not attract anyone's attention, he still pretended to refine it.

Suddenly, a stream of spiritual sense covered Ah'Bao. On the high platform, Zhang Yufeng's expression changed as he muttered to himself, "This kid's talent is truly amazing. He can obviously form pills, but he's deliberately stalling for time. Good boy."

The Pill Fire continued to be injected, and the corner of Ah'Bao's mouth curled into a sneer. He knew that after thirty minutes, Ah'Bao had just condensed the pill, and a burst of pill fragrance came out, attracting the gazes of many alchemists around.

When a pill was formed by an alchemist, the pill fragrance would not appear. Only when a pill was formed by an alchemist would there be a pill fragrance, and the pills refined by an alchemist were far less pure than those refined by a alchemist, so when the pill fragrance was formed, it would not appear. This meant that the alchemist was refining pills, but the alchemist was the center of attention, and within these tens of thousands of people, there were only a few hundred alchemists.

The surrounding people all looked over, wanting to see the true face of this alchemist. However, there was still a veil covering Ah'Bao's face.

The Immortal Soul stage cultivator in charge of this area arrived after smelling the fragrance. Seeing that Ah'Bao had taken out the pill, he immediately said, "Congratulations, you can rest here for the next round. Today is the preliminary competition. There will be a competition later." Ah'Bao handed over the pill he was concocting and started cultivating on the spot, thus gaining respect for his identity as an alchemist.

There was still a few minutes left. If they were able to successfully refine it, after entering the next round, there would be some factions that would offer an olive branch to them. At that time, they only needed to find a similar faction and they would not have to worry about money in the future.

Many alchemists came with this mentality to participate in this Pill Refining Conference.

Ten minutes later, the preliminaries were over. Most of the tens of thousands of people had been eliminated, and only 8,000 people had entered the preliminaries. Next up was the qualification tournament.

In the Qualification Competition, grade-3 pills were created by the adult group while grade-2 pills were created by the juvenile group. As long as the pill was successfully forged, it would be considered as a pass.

Ah'Bao looked at the few spiritual herbs in front of him. These were the materials for refining a Tier 2 Spirit Gathering Pill, a spiritual pill, which was one of Ah'Bao's strong points. At the main altar, Ah'Bao mainly focused on refining Spirit Gathering Pills, which were good stuff for Aurous Core stage cultivators.

Over eight thousand people started to refine their own pills, Ah Bao was not in a hurry, the time was still early, and it was still noon. Ah Bao could produce the Spirit Gathering Pill in three hours, and the success rate was one hundred percent.

After eliminating tens of thousands of people, the plaza became a lot more relaxed. In the center of the viewing platform, Zhang Yufeng was keeping an eye on Ah'Bao. He saw Ah'Bao calmly sitting there, cultivating.

Liu Zichen also noticed Ah'Bao. In fact, he didn't even know it was Ah'Bao until he saw the Nine Dragons Cauldron, only then did he realize that this young man was Ah'Bao. Feeling the aura coming from Ah'Bao, Liu Zichen faintly smiled, lightly nodded his head, and thought to himself, "Ah'Bao, you've grown up."

"Zhang, from the looks of your expression, it seems that you have taken a fancy to an apothecary?"

Zhang Yufeng didn't pay attention to Li Jun's feces. He only gazed at Ah'Bao and used his spiritual sense to check. Zhang Yufeng could feel a weird aura from Ah'Bao's body, but he couldn't catch it. He was like a loach in the mud.

Ah'Bao sneered, muttering to himself, "Did you notice me?" Ah'Bao was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he didn't fill out his name at the time of signing up. That was why he dared to come up to participate in the Pill Refining Conference.

"Regardless, this is a blessing, not a curse. It's true that we can't avoid this calamity. Senior Brother should be here by now, right? " The senior that Ah'Bao was talking about was naturally Jing Yu. One day ago, when they were being chased by the patrol, Ah'Bao had already crushed the jade slip given to him by Jing Yu. If Jing Yu arrived, even if Ah'Bao's identity was exposed, Jing Yu would still be here. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand kilometers had passed.

Six hours later, Ah'Bao slowly opened his eyes. Refining pills consumed magic power, and since he was a wanted criminal, he had to maintain his peak state at all times. Once he was discovered by the South Fire Faction, he could escape as well.

Po waved his hand and threw a few spiritual herbs into the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

The moment Ah Bao moved, Zhang Yufeng's tightly knitted eyebrows relaxed. Zhang Yufeng said to Qin Yang, "Vice Chairman Qin, go and investigate the identity of this Number 5078. We, the South Fire Sect, want this disciple."

His real name was Li Xuan, and because of the strange smell on his body, he had the title of Li Tao. In fact, the strange smell on Li Xuan's body was actually the aura of earth element, one of the few Patriarchs of the Deep Earth Sect. His cultivation was unparalleled, and this Deep Earth Sect was one of the super powers that were as famous as the Southern Fire Sect.

"I say, my ass, you've broken the rules. Even if you want to accept disciples, you should at least pass this qualification competition right?" Li Xuan said that's right. The five of them were here to recruit outstanding apothecaries, but in the past, they would only pick apothecaries after the qualification tournament. Each of them had the right to choose three spots, and those who were chosen would all join the Alchemist Association.

The Alchemist Association was not the strongest faction in the entire continent, but it was also the richest faction. In the Eastern Continent, Alchemist Association was a self-proclaimed profession, and once, a super power provoked the Alchemist Association, and in just one night, Alchemist Association was able to completely destroy that super power, that was a super power, one could only imagine how terrifying of an existence this Alchemist Association was. However, in the mortal world, there were very few Alchemist Association, and the Alchemist Association in the mortal world was just a general division of the Alchemist Association.

Qin Yang did not care about their choosing disciples. In any case, these people who were chosen would join the Alchemist Association. As long as they did not object, the Alchemist Association could serve the other factions as well.

This disciple … I'll take him. So what if he breaks the rules? This Alchemy Competition was organized by my South Fire Faction to begin with. The rules were set by us.
