"Ladies and gentlemen, today's round will be the most crucial round of the Dan Province Grand Assembly. The final victor will be the champion of this year's Grand Assembly!"
"Today, for your glory, do your best!"
As soon as Dan Xuan's voice fell, a series of excited roars rang out from the spectator stands.
Amidst the deafening noise, the ten colorful glazed platforms at the center of the square began to dim. Soon after, many towering platforms were revealed!
Only after the ten contestants who had obtained the qualifications for the final platform had stepped onto the platform did Dan Xuan, who was on the high platform, press down with his hands. The deafening noise gradually died down.
"In this third round, you will have to rely on yourselves, including recipes, ingredients, pill cauldrons, and so on. In other words, you must refine a pill within your abilities within the stipulated four hours."
"The final result will depend on the grade, grade, and effect of the pill you refine!"
"Now that you know the rules, I won't say anything more. The final round of the Dan Province Grand Assembly begins!"
After Dan Xuan's words sounded, the square, which was originally filled with whispers, immediately quietened down. Countless pairs of eyes stared intently at the ten platforms in the middle of the square. They were all anticipating the exciting performance of the competitors.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, a group of gold-armored soldiers walked out from the Alchemist Guild, carrying huge pill cauldrons.
Each of these pill cauldrons was unusually large, with the smallest one being half the height of a person. Each of these pill cauldrons was engraved with mysterious patterns.
It was obvious that these pill cauldrons were prepared by the competitors themselves!
However, what surprised the crowd was that these gold-armored soldiers seemed to only be carrying nine pill cauldrons.
"Someone didn't bring a pill cauldron?"
Slowly, more and more people noticed this anomaly.
Even Dan Xuan noticed it.
Pill cauldrons were a great help to an alchemist. The higher the grade of the pill cauldron, the greater the help it provided.
This was the most basic of common sense.
This was especially true when it came to this kind of Dankai. In fact, there wasn't much difference between the remaining 10 people in terms of Mind Power. At this time, the advantage of a good pill furnace could be highlighted.
"Someone probably gave up. After all, Qian Zhengchen is here."
"Yeah, and there's a dark horse like Qin Yichen this time. It's too difficult to get into the top three …"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
In such a situation, it was not shameful to give up.
Actually, being able to enter the top ten already proved their strength.
"I wonder who else can enter the top three. I guess it should be Luo Xiujie."
"Luo Xiujie? That might not necessarily be the case. Rumor has it that Zhu Jingxing found a scroll of formulas in the ruins. If we're talking about pills, he has a huge advantage …. "
The discussion was endless. The competition had not yet begun, but there was an endless stream of guesses about the top three.
In short, each of them had their own strengths.
Needless to say, Qian Zhengchen was the number one in the Sky Dragon Dynasty.
Even though Qin Yichen had a dazzling performance yesterday, no one thought that he could be compared to Qian Zhengchen. Even so, Qin Yichen definitely had his own strengths. In fact, many people were looking forward to his performance today.
Perhaps, another miracle could happen.
As for Luo Xiujie, his advantage was in his realm. It was rumored that he had broken through to the Spirit Realm five years ago. Now, it was even more unfathomable. He was supposed to be the champion, but unfortunately, no one expected Qian Zhengchen to appear in the Dankai.
He came here with the intention of becoming the champion, but now, he probably couldn't even get into the top three.
Zhu Jingxing was supposed to be the dark horse of the competition, but because of Qin Yichen's appearance, his brilliance was overshadowed. However, he had the treasure in the ruins. Perhaps, he could stand out in this round.
"Hiss … Look, that pill furnace."
Following a person's exclamation, everyone's attention was attracted.
This cauldron was about the height of a person. It was neither the tallest nor the largest among the nine cauldrons, but there was a creature that looked like a wall dragon coiling around it. Its head was resting on the lid of the cauldron, and its bull-like eyes were staring straight ahead with its mouth wide open in a ferocious and terrifying manner.
The patterns on it were complicated, like the scales of the wall dragon. At first glance, it was not simple.
"That's the Heaven Startling Dragon Cauldron!"
In the crowd, an old man with a white beard shook his beard and shouted the name of the pill furnace.
The Heaven Startling Dragon Cauldron.
It was said that it had been brought out from the remains of a Heaven Grade alchemist, and had once appeared briefly in another empire before disappearing without a trace. Who would have thought that it would appear here at this time?
A pill furnace used by a Heaven Grade alchemist. There was no doubt that the Heaven Startling Dragon Cauldron was a Heaven Grade pill furnace!
Heaven Grade pill furnaces were extremely rare. Even in the Alchemist Guild, there was only one left behind by their ancestors. It was only used by the higher-ups of the guild.
It was said that the Tian Long Imperial Family also had one. However, other than the higher-ups of the Imperial Family, no one knew whether it was true or not.
Other than that, the Tian Long Imperial Family did not have a third Heaven Grade pill furnace.
However, no one had expected that a Heaven-Grade Alchemy Furnace would appear at the Elixir Gathering.
Therefore, even Dan Xuan and Chen Yun on the high platform couldn't help but pay attention to it.
Every Heaven Grade pill furnace had a different effect.
For example, the Eight Treasure Jade Cauldron in the Alchemist Guild could be shared by eight people.
Many pills could not be refined by one person. Gathering the strength of eight people, with one person controlling the cauldron, it was equivalent to an eight-fold increase in mental strength!
An eight-fold increase, how heaven-defying was that?!
Of course, if Dan Xuan used it and the other seven alchemists were only Spirit Breakthrough Realm alchemists, then they would not be able to achieve an eight-fold increase. However, it would be at least four times.
In other words, seven Spirit Breakthrough Realm alchemists would become three Earth Grade alchemists!
This was the advantage of the Eight Treasure Jade Cauldron.
Therefore, the Alchemist Guild had always been led by the president, vice president, and six inner sect elders.
As for the Heaven Startling Dragon Cauldron, it was said that it was cast with the blood essence of a flood dragon. After injecting mental strength into it, it could activate the flood dragon's soul sealed within the cauldron. The flood dragon's soul could be used for one's own use. If it was used in a pill battle, it would be an absolute offensive weapon!
Of course, even if it was not a pill battle, the flood dragon's soul could still be used to refine materials.
However, the flood dragon's soul was only a rumor. No one had seen it with their own eyes. Therefore, many people focused their attention on the cauldron, looking forward to seeing the flood dragon rise.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the Heaven Startling Dragon Cauldron was placed on the stone platform where Qian Zhengchen was.
"Wow! … "
When the cauldron was placed on the ground, a wave of noise came from the crowd.
Under everyone's shocked and respectful gazes, the corner of Qian Zhengchen's mouth rose and he looked at Qin Yichen provocatively. However, he realized that Qin Yichen did not even look at him …
