Jiang Danhuang
Xianling Sect.
Located in the heart of the Great Desert Region, the ten palaces were located in all four directions of Xianling Sect, followed by the Hundred Manors and Thousand Valleys.
By the time Ning Qi arrived, the registration period was about to end. The person in charge of the competition was about to stand up and leave.
"You want to register?"
The person in charge had a strong aura. Among all the Eternal Living Realm cultivators Ning Qi had met, he was probably slightly stronger than Ying Qingning. He should be a Middle Stage Eternal Living Realm cultivator!
"Mm."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
"Name, cultivation base."
The person in charge frowned. All the alchemists participating in the competition were at least Early Stage Eternal Living Realm. But Ning Qi's aura indicated that he was only a Late Stage Battle Dan Realm cultivator.
"Bei Xuan, Late Stage Battle Dan Realm."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Alright, the competition will begin tomorrow."
The person in charge threw a jade token to Ning Qi and waved his hand. Immediately, an Early Stage Battle Dan Realm cultivator appeared beside him and stood respectfully.
"Bring this mister down to rest."
The person in charge turned around and left.
"Senior, you can call me 'Xiao Dong'. Please follow me."
The Early Stage Battle Dan Realm cultivator cupped his hands towards Ning Qi respectfully.
Ning Qi followed him into the Xianling Sect and realized that this sect was indeed as strong as the rumors said. Within the time it took to brew a pot of tea, he had already seen at least thirty Eternal Life state cultivators. Among them, three were at least at the Eternal Life middle stage.
"Xiao Dong, how many alchemists are participating in the competition?"
Xiao Dong brought Ning Qi to the entrance of a cave abode. Ning Qi looked around and saw that there was an endless mountain range. Almost every mountain had a similar cave abode. There seemed to be people standing in front of the cave abode, sizing him up.
"Senior, there are about three hundred alchemists participating in the competition."
Xiao Dong replied respectfully.
"Three hundred? So many? There are so many alchemists in the Great Desert Region? "
Ning Qi was slightly surprised.
"Ever since the news spread, not only the alchemists in the Great Desert Region, but even the alchemists outside the Great Desert Region have all rushed here."
Xiao Dong explained.
"Are there great benefits to becoming a Xianling Sect's Alchemist?"
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
A doubtful look flashed across Xiaodong's eyes. Could it be that Ning Qi didn't know about these benefits? However, Ning Qi's cultivation state was higher than his, and he was a Pill Master as well. Hence, Xiao Dong did not dare to rebut him. Instead, he explained in a low voice, "The Pill Master who emerges as the champion of this competition will not only become an esteemed member of Xianling Sect and enjoy the utmost glory, he will also receive a pill cauldron that contains the Laws of Pills!"
After pausing for a while, Xiao Dong's eyes revealed a tinge of envy. "It has been thousands of years since an alchemy cauldron containing the Law of Alchemy appeared in the Great Desert Region. To an alchemist, its value is even higher than a superior-grade magic weapon!"
"Law of Alchemy …"
Ning Qi's expression immediately became a little strange. Seeing that Xiao Dong seemed to be envious, he smiled and said, "Xiao Dong, you are also an alchemist, right?"
"Senior, you must be joking. I only know a little about it. Every time I concoct pills, I will lose all the cultivation resources given by the sect."
Xiaodong laughed bitterly.
"Work hard. Alchemy requires time to accumulate. With that little bit of talent, I believe you can do it."
Ning Qi smiled and patted Xiao Dong's shoulder.
Xiao Dong's face revealed a tinge of happiness. He quickly cupped his hands towards Ning Qi and thanked him.
At this moment, a figure flew across the sky and landed in front of the two of them. It was a young man who seemed to have albinism. His hair and eyebrows were all white. After looking at the surrounding scenery, he smiled at Ning Qi and said, "Hello, I am Jiang Tai."
"Jiang Tai? Alchemy Sovereign Jiang? "
Xiao Dong's face revealed a tinge of shock. His body trembled with excitement.
Alchemy Sovereign?
Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly. He nodded at Jiang Tai and said, "I am Bei Xuan."
"I am not interested in knowing your name. You only need to know who I am. This time, I am determined to get that alchemy cauldron. If you know what's good for you, you can leave now."
Jiang Tai said indifferently. After speaking, he flew across the sky towards the next cave abode.
Ning Qi was slightly shocked. He asked Xiao Dong, "Who is this lunatic?"
Xiao Dong quickly said, "Senior, Alchemy Sovereign Jiang is not a lunatic. He is one of the youngest Alchemy Sovereigns in the Azure Dragon Mainland. I did not expect to see him here."
"The youngest Alchemy Sovereign? Is he from the Great Desert Region? "
Ning Qi frowned.
"Alchemy Sovereign Jiang is not from the Great Desert Region. I heard that he is a disciple of the Jiang Family of the Azure Dragon Mainland. But this is only hearsay. After all, the Jiang Family is the family of one of the Seven Sages of the Azure Dragon, Saint Jiang."
Xiao Dong said in a low voice.
"Oh, since he is a Alchemy Sovereign, he should be very confident. What's the point of threatening me?"
Ning Qi rubbed his chin.
"I heard that Alchemy Sovereign Jiang is a very arrogant person, and does not engage in alchemy duels with others easily. This time, he must have been attracted by that alchemy cauldron. Perhaps, he just wants to have fewer opponents in the alchemy duel tomorrow. That way, he can have fewer fights?"
Xiao Dong guessed softly.
"Hehe, his EQ is really low. Since everyone is here, who would leave just because of a few threats?"
Ning Qi laughed mockingly. "Xiao Dong, inform me when the time comes tomorrow."
After speaking, Ning Qi turned around and entered the cave abode.
The next day, before Xiao Dong had even knocked on the door, Ning Qi had already left the cave abode. Numerous figures could be seen flying towards the direction of Xianling Sect.
"Senior, the first round of the selection competition is about to begin. There's still two hours left."
Xiao Dong stepped forward and said in a low voice.
"Let's go."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded his head before flying towards the direction of Xianling Sect with Xiao Dong. Just then, Jiang Tai, whom Ning Qi had met the day before, flew beside him.
"You haven't left Xianling Sect yet?"
Jiang Tai frowned.
"Why should I leave?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"Hmph!"
Snorting coldly, Jiang Tai's speed increased exponentially as he turned into a beam of light and disappeared from Ning Qi's vision.
Xianling Sect's central plaza …
One by one, Pill Refiners descended from the skies, sizing up the other Pill Refiners with arrogant looks on their faces. Some of the Pill Refiners who had registered early were only able to see who their opponents were today.
By the time Ning Qi arrived, he realized that there were more than three hundred people here. He knew that Jiang Tai's threats were useless. He looked for Jiang Tai, and indeed, Jiang Tai's expression was extremely ugly. Ning Qi could not help but smirk. Coincidentally, Jiang Tai saw this as well, and his eyes flashed coldly.
Other than the three hundred over Pill Refiners, there were also Xianling Sect Elders and disciples standing around the perimeter. There were at least a few thousand of them. Just then, a red shadow flashed by and landed in front of the Pill Refiners.
"It's her? Twilight Autumn Cicada? "
