Zhou Tianwei's words were filled with helplessness.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Qin Yichen's face was filled with caution.
Back then, he had spent a lot of effort to obtain that slot.
It was truly laughable that the biggest competitor of the Celestial Qilin Kingdom was actually the alchemists of other kingdoms.
Furthermore, they were alchemists who couldn't even obtain a slot in the other kingdoms!
From this, it could be seen that the Celestial Qilin Kingdom, which had been living peacefully without any wars, had become extremely weak.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Celestial Qilin Royal Family was a branch of the thousand-year-old Lu Family, the Celestial Qilin Kingdom wouldn't even have a foothold.
Of course, the main reason was that the Celestial Qilin Kingdom was too barren and didn't have any minerals. Thus, it became a land without any competition … However, after a few years, they would realize that they were extremely wrong.
This was because even though the Celestial Qilin Kingdom didn't have any minerals, it was rich in Dry Frost Grass!
It could be said that in the entire northern region, the Dry Frost Grass in the Celestial Qilin Kingdom was even more abundant.
However, in this day and age, Withered Frost Grass was just grass.
This was something that Qin Yichen loved to see.
As they spoke, the Celestial Qilin Plaza gradually appeared in their line of sight. Qin Yichen's gaze also turned towards the Celestial Qilin Plaza.
At this moment, there were fully armed soldiers stationed outside the plaza.
This kind of competition gathered countless alchemists from various powers. They were the kingdom's most precious resources and the royal family would naturally take precautions to protect them.
At the entrance of the plaza, there were inspectors from the Alchemist Guild. Only the representatives of the Alchemist Guild and those who had registered for the competition were allowed to enter.
As for the spectator seats, there was another entrance.
Under Zhou Tianwei's lead, Qin Yichen entered the plaza without any hindrance. After passing through a passageway, Zhou Tianwei directly brought Qin Yichen to the VIP seats on the stage.
Standing in the VIP seats, the huge plaza was fully displayed in Qin Yichen's line of sight.
The square was circular in shape, and on both sides, there were tens of thousands of seats. Those were probably the audience seats, and opposite the audience seats, there were some VIP seats that were clearly decorated much more luxuriously.
As Qin Yichen scanned the spacious plaza, he discovered that there were thousands of limestone platforms neatly arranged in the center of the plaza.
Come to think of it, those should be the contestants' seats.
At this time, there were already many participating alchemists sitting cross-legged on the bluestone platform, waiting for the competition to begin.
As time passed, more and more Alchemists entered and searched for their own positions according to the number plates they received.
In the morning, the Alchemist Competition began under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Clang! … "
Following the clear 'gong' sound that resounded over the square, the noise that had originally soared to the sky also quietly quietened down.
On the towering platform, Grandmaster Gu Ye slowly stood up and swept his gaze across the tens of thousands of spectators and contestants. At this time, tens of thousands of gazes were filled with reverence as they looked towards the number one Alchemist of the Celestial Qilin Kingdom.
"As the President of the Celestial Qilin Kingdom's Alchemist Guild, I hereby announce the start of this year's Alchemist Competition!"
Clang! … "
As Grandmaster Guye's words fell, a burst of deafening applause and cheers broke out in the huge venue.
"Now, all contestants, please enter your seats."
Although the plaza was in such an uproar that even the 'gong' sound could not be heard, Grandmaster Gu Ye's voice clearly rang in everyone's ears.
"I'm going."
Qin Yichen greeted Zhou Tianwei, who was beside him, and stood up.
"Your seat is over there."
Zhou Tianwei pointed at the center of the plaza.
There were five limestone platforms there. Not only were these limestone platforms more spacious than the others, even their foundations seemed to be higher than the others.
With such a unique position, it was easy for the person standing on it to become the focus of the entire plaza.
This kind of treatment was prepared for the most outstanding Alchemist of the younger generation in the kingdom. For Qin Yichen to be able to stand on top of it, it was obviously Grandmaster Gu Ye's special arrangement.
"Over there?"
Qin Yichen raised his eyebrows. Soon after, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
Since he wanted to stand out, that position was exactly what he wanted.
After all, the day of the princess's husband selection was imminent. If he did not have any reputation, how could he compete with the Four Great Clans for the princess?!
When Qin Yichen walked to the limestone platform in the middle, he discovered that there were already people standing on the other four limestone platforms. From the faint Mental Energy fluctuations that were emitted from the four people standing on the limestone platforms, it could be seen that they were not weak. From the Alchemist Badges on their bodies, it could be seen that three of them were First Grade Alchemists and one was a Second Grade Alchemist.
This strength was indeed not bad. They indeed had the qualifications to stand on the high platform that was the focus of attention.
"Eh? … "
Very quickly, when they saw that Qin Yichen had stepped onto the last remaining limestone platform in the middle, the surrounding Alchemists revealed astonished and even astonished gazes.
This was because they could clearly see the badge on Qin Yichen's chest.
He did not even have a rank!
An ordinary Alchemist?!
"What right does an ordinary Alchemist have to stand on top of that platform?!"
Many First Grade Alchemists who had reached the level of First Grade Alchemist shouted in dissatisfaction.
An ordinary Alchemist did not even have the qualifications to participate in the competition. Yet, he had stepped onto the symbol of status, the highest stage.
"Hey, kid, did you go to the wrong place?"
Hearing the sighs that filled the sky, the Second Grade Alchemist standing on the stone platform to the left of Qin Yichen ridiculed in a rather strange tone.
In response to his question, Qin Yichen only glanced at him briefly before retracting his gaze. Immediately after, he closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring the Second Grade Alchemist.
"You! … "
The Second Grade Alchemist's expression instantly turned ugly.
Not to mention his status, who would dare to underestimate his strength?!
"Oh my god, Wang Muyu from the Wang Family was actually ignored by him?"
"Sss … This guy is really arrogant!"
"I wonder where he came from. How dare he ignore someone from the Wang Family …"
On the centermost bluestone platform, their every move was closely watched. After seeing their actions, many people began to whisper to each other.
Wang Muyu was not only a member of the Wang Family, one of the Four Great Families in the Royal City, but he was also a true Second Grade Alchemist. If he did not have a Zhou Tianwei in front of him, he could very well have replaced Zhou Tianwei's position!
As a result, Wang Muyu was often unconvinced. Why did Grandmaster Guye only accept the Zhou Tianwei as his personal disciple and ignore him?
