A Good Romance

The matter of Tian Qingyue and the other super monarchs being killed was still brewing, but because the Celestial Realm was too big, these forces would not make any immediate reaction. However, if one calculated the time, perhaps the results would be revealed after the alchemy competition.
The alchemy competition was right after the Hundred Dragons Secret Realm, so the competition was scheduled for 10 days later.
Ling Han began a small seclusion.
Comprehending under the Reincarnation Tree, a mere 10 days could become a long time.
In alchemy, Ling Han had reached a bottleneck. He could not open the door to becoming a Four-Star Alchemist, and in Spirit Refinement, he was temporarily stuck at Fourth Refinement, always a little bit away from Fifth Refinement.
Though 10 days could not change anything, last-minute sharpening was always good.
Very quickly, 10 days passed, and it was the day of the alchemy competition.
There were millions of alchemists participating in the competition. Putting aside those who overestimated themselves, there were also many Three-Star Alchemists. All of them hoped to enter the Ancient Pill Tower and open the door to becoming a Four-Star Alchemist.
However, there were a few exceptions. They were not worried at all that they could not become a Four-Star Alchemist. Instead, they wanted to use this opportunity to open the door as soon as possible.
For example, Ling Han, Wu Zixu, and other prodigies. Of course, the reward was also an important reason.
Because there were too many people, it was naturally impossible for so many people to concoct alchemical pills at the same time.
The first step was herb identification.
This stage could eliminate about 90% of the people. It was not that herb identification was difficult, but only the 10% with the best results would be selected.
How was the test going to be conducted?
It was simple. There was a Stone of Alchemy in Hundred Dragons City. This was forged by a great alchemy elite. After an alchemist injected their divine sense into it, they would enter an illusory world. Then, medicinal plants would appear for the alchemist to identify.
The test was divided into many stages. The more stages one passed, the better the result would be.
The Stone of Alchemy was very large. It was about 300 meters tall, and its diameter was about 150 meters. When someone finished the test, their result would appear on the stone, and those who could squeeze into the top 10 in the history of alchemy would forever be left on the stone pillar.
There were only 10 people.
Just think about it, generation after generation, how many people participated in this test? The later one was, the harder it was to leave their name on the stone. This was because this was the same as having to fight against all the previous geniuses of the dao of alchemy.
"Hey, have Wu Zixu and Xie Yuezhang started their test?" someone asked.
"No." Someone beside him shook his head.
"Hurry, someone passed the seventh trial!" Another person cried out in alarm while pointing at the Medicine Dao Stone.
Ling Han also lifted his head and saw that there were seven glowing halos on the Alchemy Stone, but they were quickly extinguished.
"This should be the current best result."
"Hmm, it should be. I wonder which genius it is."
Everyone looked around, but there were at least one hundred people around the Dao Alchemy Stone with their hands placed on it. All of them were as still as a rock. How could they know who passed the seventh trial?
After a while, a person stood up and laughed loudly, looking extremely pleased with himself.
"Brother Gan, how are our results?" someone asked from the side.
"Haha, very good," laughed that person.
"Could it be that Brother Gan is the person who passed the seventh trial?" The first person asked.
"What?!" Brother Gan's smile immediately froze. He only passed the fourth trial, but this was already his best result, so he laughed out loud with great satisfaction.
Passing the seventh trial?
What a joke! Even if he spent billions of years studying alchemy, he still wouldn't be able to pass the seventh trial. This wasn't only determined by effort, but also by talent.
"Hahahaha!" Immediately, the people nearby burst out in laughter. So it turned out that this guy had made a mistake.
Brother Gan had an awkward expression and wished that there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into.
Another person came over. This was someone from the Gudan Tower. Although he was only an apprentice, because of the Gudan Tower's reputation, no one dared to be disrespectful and quickly made way for him.
This person arrived next to Brother Gan and said: "Your result is the fourth trial, your name is Gan Ping, correct?"
"Yes." Brother Gan weakly replied.
"Very well." The apprentice wrote down a few things on a piece of paper before turning around to leave.
At this time, another person finished their trial. The apprentice walked back and forth to record everyone's results.
This couldn't be faked since the Alchemy Stone would imprint the characteristics of each person's divine intents. At that time, they only needed to compare the results. Once someone was found to be cheating, they would be severely punished by the Gudan Tower.
Thus, very few people dared to do this.
Suddenly, an uproar came from the distance, followed by a piece of news. Just now, when someone was registering their results, it showed that they had passed the seventh trial.
"Lin Yongchang."
"That person's name is Lin Yongchang."
"This kind of result should be the current first place. Even in the previous trials, he would still be in the top ten."
"Who is this person? How come I've never heard of him before?"
"He should be the dark horse this time."
Everyone discussed animatedly, all shocked by this new alchemy genius that popped out.
Not long after, a young man walked out in large strides. The surrounding people all stared at him with reverent gazes as if he was some great character.
"That's Lin Yongchang," someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Lin Yongchang's expression was cold. As he walked, there was not a trace of a smile on his face, appearing extremely arrogant. He walked past with his head held high and chest puffed out, not even sparing a glance at anyone.
"Does anyone know where he came from?"
Everyone shook their heads, their faces filled with confusion.
"However, this guy is too arrogant, making people unhappy."
"Very unhappy."
"Xie Yuezhang is here!" someone suddenly called out, pointing in the direction of the entrance.
Ling Han also followed the gazes of the others. That was a man with a medium build. His appearance was very scholarly, and he had a full head of black hair. Though he was not very tall, he naturally had an imposing aura that made others revere him.
This was Xie Yuezhang, a Three-Star Alchemist with the level of Fourth Refinement. He was only one step away from becoming a Four-Star Alchemist.
Xie Yuezhang didn't put on any airs. As he walked, he nodded repeatedly at those who greeted him, and then brushed past Lin Yongchang.
One person was arrogant, and the other was humble, forming a strong contrast.
Lin Yongchang paused slightly, and glanced at Xie Yuezhang out of the corner of his eye. He didn't say anything, but the disdain in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Meanwhile, Xie Yuezhang didn't care at all, as if he didn't even notice this person. Instead, he walked to the Alchemy Stone with a smile, found an empty spot, and pressed his hand on it.
"Can Xie Yuezhang pass all seven stages?"
"Absolutely. He's the one with the highest chance of advancing to Four-Star Alchemist, so how could he lose to Lin Yongchang?"
"That's not necessarily true. Lin Yongchang is a dark horse that's practically shining."
As the crowd discussed, a ring of light on the Alchemy Stone lit up, but after a short while, two rings of light lit up at the same time.
"This should be Xie Yuezhang, right?"
"As expected of an alchemy genius, he only used an hour to pass two stages."
Four hours later, three rings of light lit up at the same time.
