The elimination stage, as a competition, was a very realistic and unavoidable question. When the guild leader said this, the atmosphere immediately became tense. This was the first time Ouyang Yu had heard of this competition as well as the elimination round. He could not help but prick up his ears.

"This match is the same as before, there will be two rounds of knockout. It will be the final round. Each round's verification is our Alchemist Guild's Elders. With their experience in the field of evaluation, you can rest assured that as long as the pills you concoct are good enough, you will be able to peacefully receive the glory that belongs to you. Alright, now the vice guild leader of our guild will announce the opening of the competition. "

"After a few chuckles, Tzu Ci turned around and returned to his original position. As for Fu Shang, he walked out of the room with light and graceful steps." This is the eighth time of our union competition, we have also witnessed the growth of many outstanding young people, and many of them have already made very high achievements in this field. I once again congratulate them, but at the same time, I hope that you all can be better than them! Since the president has given me the authority to do so, then I won't beat around the bush. " He then smiled and announced in a loud voice, "The ninth competition of young alchemists will now begin!"

"Boom, boom, boom ?" The colorful lights in the sky faded. In the midst of the gunfire ceremony sound, the youths on the round table had already nervously started refining. Numerous medicinal cauldrons, medicinal herbs, and balls of raging flames appeared on the platform. Many youths on the platform didn't even need to look at the instructions as they directly began refining. When Ouyang Yu turned his head around, she was still standing on the stage from time to time to watch, hoping to see the expert Ouyang Yu was talking about. Seeing Ouyang Yu looking at her, she smiled sweetly at Ouyang Yu and said, "Brother Yu, please don't let sister down!" Ouyang Yu nodded indifferently, "Oh, I'll do my best!"

Ouyang Yu then turned to look at the young man beside him. Coincidentally, that young man was also looking at Ouyang Yu with a gaze full of hatred. Ouyang Yu gave him a disdainful wink. He didn't hide anything from him. Two pairs of eyes stared straight ahead. One pair was clear and bright, while the other was muddy and narrow. The two pairs of eyes stared straight at each other, with no intention of retreating.

"Brat, if you have the guts then keep fighting with me!" An arrogant voice sounded in Ouyang Yu's ears.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's waste it!" Ouyang Yu was particularly interested in this. He thought to himself: "I don't believe that you can refine a high Grade Three Spirit Medicine within half an hour." Ouyang Yu was extremely confident in his ability to accomplish this.

As time passed, a fragrant scent wafted up from the tips of their noses. The two of them were still facing each other, neither of them making the first batch. While Ouyang Yu was in a confrontation state, he was secretly observing a manual on the stage with his primordial spirit. It read: "In two hours, you can casually refine a pill." The five people in front of this competition will directly advance to the final round!

"Two hours!" Ouyang Yu thought for a moment. Normally, he wouldn't even need two hours to refine a Rank 4 pill. He was in no hurry.

"What?" The audience and the judges were all stunned by this hilarious scene. "Look at what they're doing. A third rank alchemist can actually challenge a fourth rank alchemist?"

"That might not be the case. That kid might also be a Grade Four Alchemist, but he doesn't have that kid's insolence!"

"Do you think he's an idiot? A level four alchemist can enjoy even better treatment in the Alchemist Guild. Even if he's sick, he wouldn't act this way!"

"Fine, let's make a bet. If the Grade Four Alchemist starts refining the medicine first, I'll give you 100 gold coins. Otherwise, I'll give you 100 gold coins!"

"If you want to gamble, then so be it!" The two young men fought in private. At the same time, they were cheering for their respective targets.

"Oh?" In the VIP seats, Gou Ci and Fu Shang both frowned. What the hell are these two doing? "

"Well, young people are always impulsive! "I wonder what background that young man has, for him to have attained the cultivation of a Grade Four Alchemist at such a young age?"

"Hehe, I haven't had the time to tell you about this matter. A few days ago, he took the level four exam here, and Xiao Lu happened to be present with that brat at the same time. Xiao Lu even sparred with him."

Gu Ci's eyes flickered as he asked with great interest, "Oh, then what was the final result?"

Fu Shang sighed. "Little Lu still lost a bit!"

"What?" Tzu Chi almost jumped up from his chair.

"Although his alchemy level is about the same as Little Lu, the battle qi in his body is much stronger than her. This has always been something that we had expected!"

Gouzi calmed his emotions. "Sigh, I overestimated Little Lu! I've always thought that Xiao Lu is the most suitable person for refining medicine that I've ever seen.

Time flowed by, an hour had passed. Two people had successfully refined their own pill, one was Li Lu, the other one was Ouyang Yu and the rest didn't even know about it. However, from Li Lu's expression, it seemed like it was within their expectations.

After Li Lu finished refining, she noticed that Ouyang Yu had yet to begin. She frowned and asked, "Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

Ouyang Yu casually smiled. "I'm challenging my limits!"

Li Lu looked at the young man from the Holy Luo Empire in front of her and immediately understood why. Inwardly, he couldn't help but worry for Ouyang Yu. He transmitted his voice to Ouyang Yu, "Brother Yu, what are you wagering with that guy? Hurry up and refine it, otherwise there won't be time!"

"Sister Lu, don't worry. I believe that your Brother Yu is the best!" Ouyang Yu raised his fist confidently.

The concocting area was completely shrouded in a thick medicinal fragrance as clanging sounds could be heard. Most of the youths had already finished concocting their pills and were preparing to leave. The remaining ones would basically be eliminated if there were no special circumstances. A large bell on the field rang out once again. There were only forty minutes left. The young man from the Holy Luo Empire had an unnatural expression on his face. He secretly glanced at Ouyang Yu, who was beside him. Seeing that his face was still calm, he couldn't help but feel anxious. With a sinister look in his eyes, he glared hatefully at Ouyang Yu. "Brat, you've won. Just you wait!" He took out an ancient medicinal cauldron and quickly began to refine it.

"Welcome at any time!" Ouyang Yu smiled, but his laughter contained a strong killing intent. After slightly calming himself down, Ouyang Yu took out the Shen Nong Cauldron and began refining it. All the spectators outside the arena were gathered here. The two young men who had caused them so much confusion, let's see who was stronger. They were looking forward to it in their hearts.

It was impossible for an average person to concoct a pill of high quality within forty minutes. There was a gray flame and a red flame. The two flames were burning fiercely, but from the sound of burning air one could tell that the gray flame was several times stronger than the red flame. After seeing Ouyang Yu's flame, the young man from the Holy Luo Empire was stunned. With a serious face, he said, "Humph! Fight with me! I want you to be eliminated immediately!" The young man quietly took out a thin bead from his robes. With a turn of his hand, he threw the same herb into it. All of a sudden, all the spiritual energy within a radius of five meters flowed into his cauldron. Ouyang Yu's cauldron was the closest to him. All of the spirit energy around it was flowing into it, and the water inside the cauldron was lacking spirit energy.

"Truly ruthless!" Ouyang Yu's expression changed. He stretched out his palm and forcefully dragged the spiritual energy back from his side with the power of space. Just as Ouyang Yu wanted to further absorb the spiritual energy from the young man's cauldrons, he found that a mysterious energy was being released from the cauldron, forcing Ouyang Yu's spatial energy back. Ouyang Yu and the young man were both startled.

"He's actually able to forcibly block my Tyrant Spirit Pearl from absorbing spiritual energy. Could it be that his strength has already reached the Air Controlling Stage?" Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and comforted himself: "Impossible, I won't do it! He must also have some sort of treasure on him! " Thinking of this, the young man secretly glanced at Ouyang Yu, and then his face lit up. "Humph, I'll let you be proud of yourself for the first time!"

Although Ouyang Yu did not see the young Holy Luo youth place the gem inside the cauldron, he had already thought of the key point: This cauldron must be a treasure! Seeing the happy expression of the Holy Luo Empire, Ouyang Yu sneered and continued to refine pills.

The battle on their side happened in just a split-second. Most of the people on the scene didn't know what had happened, but it couldn't escape the eyes of the few powerful cultivators. You Ci and the other elders in the VIP seats were all stunned at the same time. They were especially shocked when they saw Ouyang Yu use the power of space to absorb the spiritual energy back.

"Old Ci, is that brat a fake?" An old man with white hair and beard frowned. The old man was slightly pleased with himself as he gently stroked his white beard. "White eyebrows, you've made a mistake this time!"

The old man was still in disbelief. He scanned the kid in front of him with his primordial spirit and found that there was nothing wrong. Even Li Jun revealed a doubtful expression: "Are you saying that this kid is not an imposter?"

"That's true. When have I ever lied to you? I'll tell you something on the account that you are my friend for many years, he ?" The old man was very interested in this at first, but when he listened carefully, he found out that GouCi was not going to speak. Not only was he a little anxious, "Old man, are you trying to keep me in suspense!"

"Hehe, I am just swallowing my saliva. There is no need for you to be in such a hurry!" "Let me tell you, his potential is limitless, but he's been dragged away by that guy Long Wei. Otherwise, I still hope that he can join us!"

"Old Ci, are you afraid that I'll drag him away with me? You want to hide yourself?" The white moustached old man squinted his eyes into slits and looked at Gu Ci with suspicion.

"Sigh, it's fine if you don't believe me, but I'll reveal something to you. The Medicine King Token that I gave to that kid Long Wei is also in his hands!"

The white moustached old man sighed, "Sigh, last time, I was too slow to take in a disciple. Now, I've been taken advantage of by the dragon's might. It seems that this old man has really fallen behind!" After shaking his head, he looked towards the alchemy field.
