Chapter 486: The First Competition: Refining Ice Spirit Pill

"Tomorrow morning, you will be divided into two groups to participate in the newcomer competition."

"No alchemy cauldron will be prepared for you in the competition!"

"So the alchemists who don't have an alchemy cauldron can borrow one from the association temporarily."

"However, the alchemy cauldrons provided by the association are the most common ones, without any special features."

Elder Gu Yixuan's face condensed, and he said seriously: "The path of alchemy requires huge financial support."

"The more medicinal materials there are for alchemists to practice, the more solid their basic skills will be."

"And the more precious the alchemy cauldron, the better the quality of the elixir will be."

"Financial resources are part of strength, there is no fairness!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Elder Gu also clapped his hands, and immediately hundreds of maids held alchemy cauldrons in their hands.

In front of Elder Gu, they piled up into a small mountain.

"This kind of alchemy cauldron is called a white alchemy cauldron."

Elder Gu Yixuan said: "Now, those who don't have an alchemy cauldron, come up and get one."

These alchemy cauldrons are exactly the same, made of ordinary materials, without even patterns, and naturally there is nothing special about them.

But there are still many people who come forward to get them.

After all, alchemy cauldrons are expensive and rare, and ordinary alchemists cannot afford them.

Ye Xinghe thought for a moment, and also came forward to get one.

When Master Yi saw this scene, he sneered disdainfully: "Ye Xinghe, don't you even have an alchemy cauldron?"

"Such a poor and lowly person is worthy of being called a genius?"

"In the Pharmacist City, he is not even worth a fart!"

Even other alchemists were a little surprised and whispered to each other.

"Ye Xinghe is probably a fake genius, otherwise, how could he not even have his own alchemy cauldron?"

"Yes, even alchemists who are weaker than him have their own alchemy cauldrons, and they have special functions!"

"After pretending for so long, it's finally exposed!"

Those powerful alchemists who originally looked down on Ye Xinghe showed an unexpectedly arrogant look.

In their hearts, they were already certain that Ye Xinghe was just a show-off.

Seeing this, Ye Xinghe just shook his head slightly.

These people are really superficial! He received the blank alchemy cauldron just because he didn't want to expose his trump card too early.

If he took out the seventh-grade alchemy cauldron he got from the Huangfu family, it would definitely crush all the alchemy cauldrons in their hands! However, it might be stained with unnecessary trouble.

For the first place, Ye Xinghe was determined to win.

Naturally, he acted more carefully.

Ye Xinghe ignored them and turned away directly.

The next day, the alchemist rookie competition officially began.

The venue was in the courtyard of the Alchemist Association branch.

The courtyard was large enough to accommodate all the alchemists in Pharmacist City.

In this huge courtyard, ten huge arenas were built overnight.

Many stands were built around the arenas, and they were crowded and full at the moment.

The Alchemist Newcomer Competition was a major event in Pharmacist City.

Naturally, it attracted many powerful families in Pharmacist City to come and watch.

In front of the Alchemist Association branch, a viewing platform was also built.

A group of alchemy masters and the Lord of Pharmacist City sat on it as question setters and referees.

The first round of the competition had a very simple question, which was to refine a second-grade pill: Bingling Pill.

The one who refined faster would win.

If the two had the same speed, the winner would be determined by the grade.

Ye Xinghe also stood on a arena, and his opponent was an alchemist in his twenties.

Pale complexion, deep eye sockets, revealing a provocative look.

Ye Xinghe raised his eyebrows.

The person in front of him was none other than Mr. Yi from yesterday.

At this time, Ye Xinghe already knew.

This person, named Yi Junhao, is a second-level alchemist.

Beside the two of them, there is a medicine shelf.

There are four layers above and below, with a full hundred kinds of medicinal materials for the alchemists to use.

On the other side, there are magic arrays running, and the alchemist badges are suspended in them, showing the identities of the two.

Yi Junhao sneered: "I didn't expect it to be you, Ye Xinghe, right?"

He raised his chin with a proud face: "I don't care who you are, you're unlucky to run into me!"

"Because, today, you are destined to be my stepping stone!"

Ye Xinghe frowned slightly and said nothing.

But Yi Junhao showed a smug look on his face.

Thinking that Ye Xinghe was timid, he didn't dare to respond.

Then he said sinisterly: "Do you think I'm really a second-level alchemist?"

"In fact, I refined a third-level elixir a month ago and became a third-level alchemist!"

"I have been patient until now just to make a splash in the rookie competition!"

Ye Xinghe smiled slightly and shook his head.

In his heart, he just felt it was ridiculous.

Breaking through to the third-level alchemist in just one month, and showing off in the rookie competition?

So ignorant! Yi Junhao was furious when he saw that Ye Xinghe was not panicking as he had imagined, but smiling instead.

He said harshly: "Ye Xinghe, don't be complacent."

"Remember, the person who stepped on you to take off the title of genius alchemist is me."

"Yi Junhao!"

Just then, a small bronze bell on the viewing platform was suddenly struck.

The leisurely bell sound echoed in the square.

Elder Gu Yixuan also stood up and said in a loud voice: "The first round of the alchemist rookie competition begins!"

Before he finished speaking, the ten arenas were busy.

They all took out their alchemy cauldrons and began to select the medicinal materials they needed.

They didn't dare to waste any time.

Yi Junhao did the same.

With a flip of his hand, an alchemy cauldron flew out of the space ring.

This alchemy cauldron is about three feet high, black in color, with some patterns on it, and looks heavy.

It is not the blank alchemy cauldron obtained from the Alchemist Association.

Yi Junhao looked at Ye Xinghe and smiled proudly: "Ye Xinghe, I remember you don't even have your own alchemy cauldron?"

"Today I will broaden your horizons for you! This is my alchemy cauldron, which is a second-grade one!"

"Compared to your blank alchemy cauldron, it is much stronger!"

Ye Xinghe smiled slightly, looked at him and said: "I advise you to hurry up and seize the time."

Yi Junhao's eyes flashed, and then he scolded: "What do you mean?"

"No meaning."

Ye Xinghe said lightly: "I just feel that you don't have much time."

Yi Junhao glanced at the surrounding arenas and was immediately shocked.

The alchemists on other arenas have already started to select the herbs they need.

He quickly retreated to the medicine shelf and started to select.

There are a hundred kinds of herbs on the medicine shelf.

Each medicinal material was prepared in a weight of more than one pound.

However, refining a second-level elixir does not require so many medicinal materials.

The Ice Spirit Pill to be refined in the competition requires a total of thirty kinds of medicinal materials.

And the dosage varies and is extremely strict.
