"Something big has happened!" The bald tutor's face darkened on purpose.
"What big thing?" Big Beard's voice trembled.
"In the first round of the advancement competition, your disciples fought with Gu Haoran!"
Big Beard's face turned ghastly pale. "So fast … They're … They're still alive …"
The bald tutor laughed loudly. "You're such a fearless lunatic. Now your guts are even smaller than a rabbit's. You treasure these disciples too much. Hahaha … These guys are really impressive! They actually made Gu Haoran suffer this time. Come, let's drink and I'll tell you! "
"They fought with Gu Haoran and gained the upper hand?!" Big Beard could not react at all.
"That's right. They snatched Gu Haoran's natal medicine tablet and escaped unscathed!"
"Is … Is this true? You're not lying to me, right?! "Big Beard opened his mouth wide. He could not believe his ears.
"Let's go. We'll talk while we drink. I'll tell you later how they suppressed Gu Haoran."
The bald instructor laughed out loud and pulled Feng Ci towards the tavern outside the Medicine Palace without giving him any chance to explain.
At this moment, Feng Ci, who had regained his senses, finally showed a gratified smile on his face.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the Medicine Palace ruins that looked like a mountain in the sky. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Chu Chen, this kid. I've really taken in the wrong disciple this time. He's always creating miracles …
It's a pity that Chu Chen met Gu Haoran too early. Sigh … If only I had a few more years for Chu Chen.
"What are you daydreaming about? Are you thinking about love? Be careful that Little Moon doesn't make you kneel on the washboard! "
Seeing that Feng Ci was in a daze, the bald tutor impatiently pulled Feng Ci. "Let's go. Today, we brothers won't rest until we're drunk!"
"Okay! We won't rest until we're drunk! I'll definitely drink you until you're drunk! "Feng Ci nodded heavily and strode out of the Medicine Palace. For a moment, the entire Medicine Palace reverberated with the sound of their heroic laughter. It was as if the sound of thunder was endless.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the Palace of Ancient Medicine became more and more tense.
The duration of the first round of the Intermediate Alchemist Competition was only seven days. Once seven days had passed, no matter how strong a team was, if they couldn't gather the required ancient medicine, they would lose the qualification to continue the competition.
Seeing that there were only two days left until the end of the mission, the teams that still hadn't managed to collect their own medicine plates began to become more and more anxious. In the end, they didn't hesitate to pay a huge price to start a war with the other teams.
As for the teams that had already completed their mission, they were trying their best to hide their hiding places, hoping that they could safely survive this final period.
The entire environment of the Palace of Ancient Medicine had almost turned into a huge battlefield of ambushes and pursuits. Every student pushed their intelligence, stealth, searching, and assassination skills to their limits.
From time to time, situations like this could happen: A small team was carefully searching for some clues in a well-hidden place. Suddenly, a small team would burst out from a nearby cave, tree hole, or water, and engage in a life-and-death battle with them.
In just two days, the number of teams that were eliminated in the Palace of Ancient Medicine was more than the total number of teams eliminated in the previous five days.
Furthermore, as time passed, the injuries of the teams that were eliminated became more severe. There were even a few students with lower cultivation who were on the verge of death … In a battle of this level, crippled limbs were only considered minor injuries. The intensity of the competition was beyond everyone's imagination.
For example, there was a team from a branch of the Palace of Medicine. They were known as the second strongest team in the branch, second only to Gong Mu. The three members of this team were the best at using poison. Any team that was defeated by them would be poisoned. There was even a student from the Heavenly Court who was completely poisoned by their team leader's rotting corpse poison. His entire body, except for his head, was almost completely corroded. His entire body was practically a pile of white bones!
With such a serious injury, even if he had consumed a top-grade ancient medicine that could regrow flesh and bones to preserve his life, the Heavenly Court's disciple's cultivation base had been completely crippled, and he had become a mortal without any cultivation base.
The emotionless medicine soul coldly carried out the punishment. He directly expelled all the members of the second strongest team from the branch. He also used thunderous methods to expel the other teams that were just as ruthless from the Palace of Ancient Medicine. He also deprived them of the opportunity to participate in other competitions in the future. Only then was the situation in the Palace of Ancient Medicine under control.
However, in such a tragic and fierce battle, the few teams that had stirred up a storm in the Palace of Ancient Medicine in the past few days had completely disappeared without a trace. There was no longer any trace of them.
For example, the team of the extremely powerful Huangfu Yin, the team of the most famous Chu Chen, and the veteran experts of the Palace of Medicine, the teams of the other two of the "Three Heroes of the Heavenly Court", Li Jundao and Zhou Hong, had completely disappeared.
No one knew where they were hiding. No matter how hard the other teams tried to find them, they could not find them.
Apart from that, Gu Haoran's team, which was undoubtedly the strongest team in the ruins, was still at its peak. Even though they had lost Gu Ying, there was still no team that dared to challenge their dignity as kings.
It was said that after they were defeated by Chu Chen's team, they used a short six hours to complete the second task of obtaining ten elixir tablets.
However, Gu Haoran's team seemed to have some misgivings. After they completed the task, they obediently stayed in the black snow city in the north of the ruins. No one dared to provoke them, so they naturally stayed in their nest and did not attack other places. They were no longer as unscrupulous as they had been a few days ago when they went around plundering elixir tablets.
In this increasingly cruel environment, the remaining two days passed very quickly … …
Boom —!!!
When the seven days of the competition had passed, the dull sound of a bell suddenly resounded in the sky, filling the entire Palace of Ancient Medicine ruins. When the sound of the bell rushed over, all the students felt their bodies tighten. It was as if they were shackled heavily and could not move at all.
Regardless of whether these team members were fighting fiercely, carefully hiding, or trying to assassinate … everyone's movements stopped in an instant.
