Ah'Bao was still a third tier alchemist at such a young age. Although he was not comparable to Qin Shang, he was still a genius in Qin Shang's eyes.

Ah'Bao waved his hand, "This little brother is not talented. The Qin family is a famous family with a famous reputation. How could this little brother dare to join? Moreover, little brother will not join any forces."

"It seems like you were groomed by that faction. Otherwise, why would they be unwilling to join any faction?" What Qin Shang said was reasonable.

Ah'Bao nodded his head and replied, "In big bro's eyes, little bro's influence is nothing more than a child playing around."

With Ah Bao's talent, his future achievements would definitely not be inferior to that of a Grade Eight Alchemist. With the support of a Grade Eight Alchemist, even if it was a small faction, they could still grow into a influential faction with the support of an alchemist. This was enough to show just how important alchemists were to some forces.

"Little brother, you can't say such words. Do you know how important an alchemist is to a faction? Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Come, drink."

Qin Shang's personality was bold and straightforward. The two of them drank late into the night before dispersing. To cultivators, this wine was like a beverage and was inedible.

Returning to the inn, Ah Bao discovered that Jin Qiang and the others were still awake. When Ah Bao opened his room, a sound startled them.

Jin Qiang was the first to exit the room. When he saw Ah'Bao, he respectfully said, "Young Master, you're back."

Ah'Bao nodded, replying, "Yes, we should rest early. I still have a competition tomorrow morning, so you all should come with me to take a look at it."

"Yes, that's right. Young master, someone came to look for you today. He said that he was from the South Fire Faction and you aren't here. He said that he will be waiting for you at his usual place in the morning."

"Old place?" The only place Ah'Bao could think of was the South Fire Plaza's loft.

"Alright, I understand. Go and rest."

The next morning, Ah'Bao brought a few people to the South Fire Square. Alchemists participating in the competition could bring their followers to watch the competition for free, but only five were allowed, and the three of them were allowed to sit at the seat of the alchemist's follower. Ah'Bao went to the pavilion alone, but as soon as he entered the first floor, he was stopped by people from the Southern Fire Sect.

"I'm looking for someone."

"This is not a place you should be, and there is no one you're looking for."

Ah'Bao was depressed. Since he wasn't allowed to enter, then he wouldn't enter. Right when Ah'Bao was about to turn around and leave, a voice came from the pavilion.

"Let him in."

When the two people in front of the door heard this, they immediately replied respectfully, "Yes." The two of them were both Immortal Soul Stage experts. In front of the old ancestor of the South Fire Faction, they were like children. They didn't even dare to fart.

It should be known that in the mortal world, as long as a Immortal Soul stage expert does not provoke those old monsters, he would be able to walk unhindered. At the Immortal Soul stage, almost all of the cultivators at the Immortal Soul stage would go into seclusion to seek a higher level of cultivation, so under normal circumstances, cultivators above the Immortal Soul stage would not like to walk in the outside world. To be able to see a Immortal Soul stage expert in this Pill Refining Conference, the Southern Fire Empire truly deserved to be called a powerful country with such a powerful backing.

Entering the pavilion and still the same room, Zhang Yufeng was already waiting here. Seeing Ah'Bao's arrival, he laughed and said, "Boy, if you really want to cause trouble, then let's forget about making a ruckus in the Southern Flame City. You also want to provoke the Bai Family, boy."

Ah'Bao was speechless, "That Bai Ming bullied my people, shouldn't I interfere?"

Zhang Yufeng said, "Oh, your people? I heard that those three were just ordinary rogue cultivators. For them, they offended the Bai Clan, is it worth it? "

At first, Ah'Bao had a good impression of Zhang Yufeng, but when he heard Zhang Yufeng say that Zhang Yufeng had the intention of protecting the Bai Family, he immediately lost his good impression of Zhang Yufeng, and said: "No one is worth it. It's my people, so I want to protect them. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Zhang Yufeng looked at Ah'Bao's back and shook his head. This Bai Clan always gave a lot of good gifts to the South Fire Sect. Naturally, the South Fire Sect would protect the Bai Clan. "Ai, what a pity. Such a good sapling, how great would it be if it were someone from my South Fire Faction!"

After exiting the pavilion, Ah'Bao directly walked towards the competition area, and right now, the outer seats were completely filled. This junior division and the adult division were not in the same competition area, and they were split up, and Ah'Bao did not see any adult division alchemists, and they were both in the same group. A familiar figure appeared in Ah'Bao's line of sight, and he saw Qin Yu wearing a light green alchemist uniform, with a Purple Wood Cauldron in front of her.

Qin Yu was a tier four alchemist, a sixteen-year-old tier four alchemist. Not only that, but Qin Yu was also at the late Nascent Soul Stage, a sixteen year old late Nascent Soul Stage alchemist. This kind of talent could be counted on one hand in the mortal world.

As if sensing Ah'Bao's gaze, Qin Yu raised her head to look, and Ah'Bao hurriedly withdrew his gaze, walking towards the region of spirit grass prepared by the Great Assembly.

In today's competition, the alchemists would pick their own spiritual herbs. The higher the alchemist's level, the higher their ranking would be. This was a competition for the top ten, so the alchemists and alchemists would pick their own medicines to refine. As long as they entered the top ten, they would have two days before they were qualified to compete for the top three.

A lot of Aurous Core stage cultivators who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage would directly consume a Dragon Tooth Fruit to assist them in their breakthroughs. This Dragon Tooth Pill used a Dragon Tooth Fruit as its main ingredient to refine the Dragon Tooth Fruit into a Dragon Tooth Fruit, and for Aurous Core stage cultivators, the Dragon Tooth Fruit could increase the rate of their breakthroughs by 30%, and the Dragon Tooth Pill could increase their efficiency by 50%.

The alchemists had all chosen the spiritual herbs they wanted to refine, and Yuan Fei had also chosen a type of Tier 4 pill. Originally, Yuan Fei wanted to refine a Tier 3 pill, so he was first in line to enter the top 10, but when he saw Qin Yu choose the materials for the Tier 4 pill, he also chose the materials for the Tier 4 pill.

Actually, the reason they had appeared earlier was because they were looking for outstanding disciples. Since they had already found them, there was no need for them to appear again. They were all old ancestors of a few super powers who were on a high pedestal.

As the main judge of the Pill Refining Conference, Qin Yang sat alone on the stage in the middle of the square. With a single command, the competition began.
