After organizing some things and making a decision, Ling Xian stopped thinking about these things.
He slowly closed his eyes. Like an old monk, he entered the state of cultivation where he no longer cared about what was going on outside.
Even though with his current cultivation, the effects of pure cultivation would be negligible, it was still better than doing nothing. Therefore, he calmed himself down and trained while waiting for the gathering of alchemists to begin.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
As the time neared, more and more people began to talk about the gathering of alchemists. More and more cultivators rushed over from all over Yuezhou and gathered at this ancient city. Not only were there alchemists who wanted to show off their skills at the gathering, there were also many cultivators who wanted to witness the event.
After all, this was the gathering of alchemists organized by the five clans. It represented the highest level of alchemy in Yuezhou and was considered the best of the best.
Therefore, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Even though the majority of people could not participate, every single time, the gathering of alchemists would use a mysterious treasure to project the scene inside the Realm of Alchemy to the outside world. Therefore, most people liked to gather at the City of Dan and watch the excitement.
Just like that, more and more people arrived at the City of Dan. News about this year's gathering of alchemists began to circulate.
The most attention-grabbing topic was without a doubt, the predicted winner of this year's gathering.
As everyone knew, there were five clans in the City of Dan. These five clans were full of talented people with high alchemy skills. Basically, they represented the highest level of alchemy in the entire Yuezhou.
Therefore, the strongest descendant of these five clans was without a doubt, the favorite to win.
The Cao Clan's Cao Yu, the Zhao Clan's Zhao Ling Er, the Jun Clan's Jun Qing Yang, the Shang Guan Clan's Shang Guan Wu Yao, and the Hong Clan's Hong Zhuang Luo.
These five people have displayed extraordinary alchemy talent since they were young. When they were young, they were already famous and everyone in the City of Dan was familiar with them. As time went on, their alchemy skills deepened. Plus, with the five clans' deep history, they have been trained to be the benchmark of the younger generation!
What was a benchmark?
In other words, every single one of them had surpassed their own generation in alchemy and became the leader of the younger generation. Based on rumors, all five of them had reached the sixth realm of alchemy.
If it was just the sixth rank, perhaps it wouldn't be a big deal. However, if it was put together with their twenties, then it could be said to be terrifying.
Remember that in the entire Yuezhou, alchemists who can reach the sixth realm at the age of 20 are rare!
Thus, the people from the Pill City naturally placed the five of them as seeded competitors. They quietly guessed who would be the champion of this Pill Gathering.
Of course, other than these five Heaven's Favorites of alchemy, there were many powerful geniuses in Yuezhou as well. Perhaps in terms of fame, they might not be comparable to the outstanding descendants of the five clans, but in terms of strength, they might not be inferior to the five clans.
After all, Yuezhou's territory was vast. Other than the five clans, there were many other Houses that focused on alchemy.
Those forces might not be as powerful as the five great clans, but they weren't far off. The strongest descendants they nurtured would not be inferior to the five great clans.
Moreover, there was another kind of person in the Cultivation World.
These people were collectively known as rogue cultivators. They had no background, no talent, and no cultivation. However, they had a tenacity that most people didn't have.
Perhaps it was because they had suffered too much, so they knew how to treasure things. Or perhaps it was because they had no talent, so they knew how to work harder.
As long as they grab onto an opportunity, or as long as they are talented enough, they would explode with shocking energy. It wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying a Heaven's Favorite who was determined and spent all of his time training would be.
Therefore, nobody dared to underestimate rogue cultivators. Perhaps a black horse would emerge from this year's gathering of alchemy.
Other than the forces mentioned above, there was another person who was shining brightly and nobody could ignore him.
The people of the City of Dan, in particular, remembered him and could not forget him!
They could never forget that 10 years ago, a young man came to the City of Dan. With his own strength, he consecutively defeated 127 Eighth Grade Alchemists in a row, showing his disdain and elegance!
That day, that young man stood in the middle of the field and glanced around with his arrogant eyes. Nobody dared to step up and compete with him!
In other words, he had defeated the entire City of Dan. At the very least, he had defeated all the eighth realm alchemists in the City of Dan.
Remember that the quality of the alchemists in the City of Dan far surpassed others of the same level. Those 127 Pill Masters were the cream of the crop among their peers, and there were even some from the older generation who were extremely experienced!
Even so, they were continuously defeated by a young man. How unbelievable was this?
How dominating was this?!
If it wasn't for the fact that 10 years ago, the strongest descendant of the five clans was already of the seventh realm and it wasn't easy to bully the weak … Then, the five clans would've been shrouded in a shadow and would've become the young man's stepping stone!
However, this was enough. That young man had made a name for himself. In an extremely dazzling manner, he had announced his return to the alchemy community in Yuezhou!
Legend had it that year, he was only 16 years old!
What kind of monster was this?!
Now that 10 years had passed, how much has this monster grown? Nobody knew. But everyone in the City of Dan knew very well that he will arrive in an even more dazzling manner!
Because of this, the situation became even more unclear. It was as if many people had the ability to win the title. Sadly, there can only be one winner.
In other words, the strongest Heaven's Favorite will be chosen and receive the greatest honor!
Just as the entire city was discussing this, the registration phase for this year's gathering began. At once, the air in the City of Dan was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The atmosphere was tense.
All kinds of bets began to be placed on who would win the title of the winner. The most popular person was without a doubt, the monster who appeared out of nowhere. Next were the strongest descendants of the five clans.
Below them were the descendants of the various Houses in Yuezhou.
Even though the rankings of these people varied, without exception, they were all geniuses of the Dao of alchemy who were famous in their own right.
From this, one could see how exciting the competition this time would be. It was truly a battle between dragons and tigers, a battle between heroes!
Just as the alchemists from all over the world were registering, Ling Xian, who was inside the Nothing for Sale store, opened his eyes. A flash of light flashed across his eyes.
It wasn't that he had predicted that the registration had begun. It was that Hong Yan Xin had sent him a message.
"The registration has begun? That's good. I can go out for a walk." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and his eyes flickered with anticipation.
Though he was an alchemist who didn't care about his job, because of Liao Cang Qiong, he had always placed alchemy in a very important position.
Therefore, he really wanted to have a battle with the true geniuses of alchemy!
The gathering of alchemists that occurs once every 10 years was without a doubt, the best place to do so!
"Let's go. Let's register first and then wait patiently for a few days." Ling Xian grinned and marched out of the stone room.
