Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Everyone on Elixir Peak was a sly old fox. Even if they mocked each other, they would not make a big deal out of it.
However, below Elixir Peak, it was a real fight.
Especially between Zhao Ritian and Lin Yi.
Of course, when it came to scolding others, even a hundred Lin Yi's would not be a match for Zhao Ritian. Basically, Zhao Ritian was the only one who was dealing tons of damage. Lin Yi did not even have the chance to talk back.
However, fighting was not an alchemist's forte.
Otherwise, Lin Yi would have rolled up his sleeves and attacked.
It was the beginning of the summit that saved Lin Yi from the abyss of suffering.
When the time came, the few Tower Masters appeared. In an instant, they became the focus of the entire venue.
They were undoubtedly the people who stood at the pinnacle of the alchemy world in Qian Lan Jun Region.
"Silence!"
The middle-aged man standing in the middle of the Tower Masters spoke. His voice was like silk, ringing in everyone's ears. In an instant, the originally noisy venue quietened down.
This middle-aged man was the Peak Master of Elixir Peak, Qu Huazheng.
Although he looked like a man in his forties or fifties, he was actually a few hundred years old.
To be able to maintain his youthful appearance, one could see how profound his cultivation was.
Qu Huazheng's gaze swept across the entire venue. Instantly, everyone's eyes were burning with passion as they looked at him. Seeing this, Qu Huazheng slowly said, "This year's Alchemy Summit begins!"
"Wow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue burst into deafening cheers.
"As everyone knows, mental energy is the most important foundation for an alchemist. Only with strong enough mental energy and mental energy attainments can one walk further on the path of alchemy …"
Qu Huazheng smiled as he looked at the contestants who represented the various regions. Then, he took out a black metal bead.
The surface of the metal bead was extremely smooth. It did not seem to have any luster. It was pitch-black and gave off an extremely heavy feeling.
"This is a pearl made of Soul Iron. It's called the Soul Measuring Pearl. It's very light if you use your hands to hold it, but it's as heavy as a thousand kilograms for Mental Energy."
"The first event of the summit is to test your overall Mental Energy. In a while, many Soul Measuring Pearls will be scattered from above you. All of you will need to use your Mental Energy to support them without using your body or True Yuan. After which, the region that receives the most Soul Measuring Pearls will be the best in this event. The ranking will be determined in this manner."
The first round was a test of the strength of one's Spiritual Power and the proficiency of one's Spiritual Power control.
"How is it? Is everything ready? "
Qu Huazheng looked at Qin Yichen and the others and asked.
Hearing this, the group slowly nodded their heads. Mental Energy slowly surged between their eyebrows, ready to erupt at any time.
"Don't even think about catching it all at once. Splitting your spiritual power is the stupidest thing to do in this stage."
Zhao Ritian also became a lot more serious, and did not forget to remind Qin Yichen.
"Qin Yichen, if you can't do it, there's no need to force yourself. As long as we don't get last place in the first round, we'll have the ability to turn the tables in the last two rounds."
Wang Daoyun seemed to be worried about Qin Yichen as he spoke.
Then, Qu Huazheng waved his sleeve, and the countless Soul-Measuring Orbs split into five pieces and floated above the fifteen people. A moment later, the pitch-black metal orbs poured down like a storm.
As the Soul Measuring Pearls poured down, the group's minds moved. Then, boundless Mental Energy gushed out from their Sea of Consciousness.
Qin Yichen's Mental Energy also transformed into an invisible giant hand. With lightning speed, it grabbed at the pitch-black Soul Measuring Pearls that were falling from the sky.
When Qin Yichen grabbed the first Soul Measuring Pearl, he felt the invisible giant hand made from Mental Energy suddenly sink. Half of the Soul Measuring Pearl sank into the Mental Energy palm.
"It's indeed a little heavy."
Qin Yichen's heart shuddered when he sensed this change. His eyes swiftly swept around, only to discover that the few competitors from the Southern and Middle Region were in a somewhat miserable state. Perhaps it was the first time that some of them had participated in the summit. Due to their Mental Energy being too scattered, those Soul Testing Pearls directly penetrated the objects created by their Mental Energy and fell to the ground.
People like Emperor Qiao, Zhao Ritian, Lin Yi and the others who had participated in the summit before were much more familiar with this. Although they appeared to be a little flustered, they immediately entered the zone. They gathered their Mental Energy and caught the Soul Measuring Pearls that fell from the sky one by one.
After catching the first Soul Measuring Pearl, Qin Yichen appeared to be much calmer. He also had a better understanding of the Soul Measuring Pearl's weight. Immediately, with a thought, the giant Mental Energy hand whizzed out. It carried a low sound of rushing wind as it continuously caught the pitch-black Soul Measuring Pearls. After which, it gently floated beside him.
At this moment, all the spectators were holding their breaths, afraid that they would make the slightest noise and affect the participants representing the various Pill Towers.
"Emperor Qiao's Mental Energy is already at the peak of the initial Soul Realm. In addition to his mastery of the intermediate Meticulous Soul Realm, I wonder if the brats from the Eastern Region will be able to break the summit's record this time!"
On the high platform, the Middle Region Tower Master praised them.
Upon hearing his words, pride flashed across the Eastern Region Tower Master's face. The record for catching the Soul Measuring Pearls for the summit's first event was held a few decades ago by the Eastern Region Pill Tower's students … out of three hundred Soul Measuring Pearls, they caught one hundred and ninety-eight of them!
"Eh, that new student from the Northern Region seems to be quite capable. Everyone else is holding the Soul Measuring Pearls in their Mental Energy hands, but he is floating them in front of him. Haha, how arrogant …"
The Western Region Tower Master, Chou Yushu, let out a soft exclamation. His tone carried a hint of mockery as he spoke with a smile that was not a smile.
The Soul Measuring Pearls were made of special materials. Controlling them to float in front of one required a portion of one's Mental Energy. Moreover, if there were too many of them, it was very likely that they would lose control in the end, resulting in the tragedy of drawing water with a sieve.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the past Pill Realm Summits.
At this moment, the Northern Region Tower Master, Zuo Xuezhen, also frowned, but he did not say anything.
In his heart, he was already cursing Zhao Ritian. He had specially instructed Zhao Ritian to inform Qin Yichen of the things to take note of during the summit. Looking at the situation, that fellow had definitely thrown his instructions to some unknown corner.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty …
