This group of people sat at the most conspicuous spot in the front of the square, close to the Pill Platform. Cheng Houtian's gaze swept towards Ning Cheng and nodded to Ning Cheng with a smile.
At this moment, there were nearly 3,000 people in the square, but it still seemed very empty. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept out and found even more powerhouses. Not only Man Huishan, Shi Tianhe, Le Jiesheng, Fei Feng, and other big shots from the major sects had also arrived. He even saw the black-robed Star Stepping Tower Master.
It seemed like this Pill Discussion Assembly was not simple.
Along with the sound of three drums, the prohibition of the Elixir Meeting Square was activated, which meant that no one else would enter the square.
After the drumming stopped, a man wearing a black Alchemy Sage Daoist robe walked onto the pill platform.
He first performed a very grand Alchemy Master salute before saying slowly, "It's time for the Alchemy Discussion Grand Meeting that happens once every 200 years. I'm the Alchemy Association's Guild Master, Si Chen Qiu Tian, and I'm the host of this Alchemy Discussion Grand Meeting. I'm here to welcome fellow Daoists who have come to discuss alchemy, as well as fellow Daoists and Sect Masters who have come to listen. I heard that many geniuses in the Dao of Alchemy have emerged in the Fantasy Orchard this time, which makes me very happy. I also hope that my Grand Essence Realm's Alchemy Discussion Grand Assembly will far surpass the past. "
Everyone knew that Si Chen Qiu Tian would discuss his understanding of the Pill Dao every time the Pill Discussion Conference began. At this moment, the entire Pill Gathering Plaza was silent. To the alchemists who came to participate in the Pill Discussion, this was a supreme enjoyment, and also a kind of opportunity. For a Dao Core powerhouse like Si Chen and Qiu Tian, no one knew when he would go into seclusion or leave the Grand Essence Realm.
"To alchemists of my generation, alchemy is the Dao. The Dao of alchemy was also the Human Dao, the Heavenly Dao, and the Dao of Longevity. Alchemists, the jade cauldron soup decocted, the golden furnace fire blazed, the Xuan bead formed into an image. One needed to have a clear understanding of Yin and Yang and a profound understanding of creation. Only then could one pursue the two Qis in the ecliptic, the three natures in the Yuan Palace, the five elements, and the four symbols …
This was the Dao of the Small Core and the Dao of the Great Core. They gathered Yin and Yang, gathered the five elements, channeled heaven and earth, and discussed the rules … How could the Dao of the Great Core be limited to the Dao of Heaven and Man? How could it be just the path to immortality? The Dao of alchemy is limitless. Flipping the starry sky and the universe is but a simple matter … "
Si Chen Qiu Tian's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded as if it was ringing in everyone's ears. It was clear and contained an endless aura of the Dao, causing everyone present to be intoxicated by it. Even if one did not understand the Dao of alchemy, one would still be able to find their own comprehension in this kind of Dao discussion. Some alchemists even felt enlightened, and many things suddenly became clear.
Although Si Chen Qiu Tian's Alchemy Dao philosophy and Ning Cheng's Alchemy Dao philosophy were completely different, Ning Cheng still benefited a lot from it.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. When Si Chen Qiu Tian stopped talking, most people were still immersed in the Pill Dao, unable to extricate themselves.
The voice of the Elixir Association's Deputy Guild Master, Holy Emperor Qing Yi, rang out after Qiu Tian left. Many people came to their senses.
"Ever since Pill Sage Min Kong fell, my Grand Essence Realm's Alchemy Dao has been weakening day by day. Up until the last Alchemy Conference, no one in my Grand Essence Realm was able to enter the Grand Simplicity Realm in the Alchemy Dao … "
Holy Emperor Qing Yi's words made Ning Cheng feel a little puzzled. He sent a voice transmission to Jian Sanshan, who stood beside him, "Brother Jian, what does Holy Emperor Qing Yi mean?"
Jian Sanshan replied, "The Grand Essence Realm's laws are broken. Whether it's the Dao of Alchemy, the Dao of Equipment, or the Dao of Talismans, they are far inferior to other realms. Even the second-step Dao Confirming Holy Emperor ranks behind in the entire Five Grand Realms. In the last Five Realms Pill Competition, the Grand Essence Realm ranked last and didn't get a place to enter the Grand Change Realm. "
Ning Cheng felt secretly shocked. Jing Han and Resham could enter the fourth level of the Fantasy Fruit Garden, which meant that they could refine a batch of top-quality Dao Transformation Spirit Pills. With such strength, how could they not even get a place to enter the Grand Change Realm?
"As our Grand Essence Realm's only Dao Essence Pill Sage, Guild Master Qiu Tian, said, several genius alchemists have emerged in our Grand Essence Realm this time. We believe that our Grand Essence Realm can get some results in the Five Realms Pill Competition. Because our Grand Essence Realm has performed poorly in several pill competitions in a row, only five people will represent our Grand Essence Realm in the pill competition this time …. "
Holy Emperor Qing Yi's words immediately caused some discussion. Ning Cheng could clearly hear that these people were talking about how ten people had represented the Grand Essence Realm in the last pill competition. Why were there only five people left this time? Ning Cheng couldn't understand it at all and could only ask Jian Sanshan again.
Jian Sanshan obviously knew more about it than most people. He explained, "The Five Grand Realms' Alchemy Competition, Artefact-crafting Competition and the Grand Battle Competition are all the same. If the results are always at the bottom, the number of places will decrease year by year. Five places is the lowest. Generally, the best results come from the Grand Change Realm …. "
Ning Cheng asked in confusion, "Brother Jian, the Grand Change Realm doesn't need a place. Why do they want to participate in the competition?"
Jian Sanshan smiled and said, "These places have a lot of uses, but I don't know about some of them. But I know that the Grand Change Realm would sell some of the places every time they obtain a large number of places. They sell these places to other realms and ask for a ridiculously high price. Even one of the top ten sects would have to pay a heavy price to buy a place. "
"Can we sneak into the Grand Change Realm?" Ning Cheng asked again.
Jian Sanshan shook his head, "It's impossible. The Grand Change Realm's laws are perfect, and the realm is extremely stable. Moreover, the realm-protecting restrictions are even more natural. Even Dao Perfection experts can't enter the Grand Change Realm without the permission of the Grand Change Realm's controller. There are only two ways to enter the Grand Change Realm. One is through the great competition, and the second is through ascension. "
Ning Cheng took in a breath of cold air. Controller? He quickly asked, "Brother Jian, did you say that the Grand Change Realm has a controller? Controlling a realm? Does that mean our Grand Essence Realm also has a controller? Everything about us is under the control of that controller? "
Ning Cheng couldn't help but feel nervous. He knew that such a thing wasn't impossible. Just like his Mysterious Yellow Bead, once it became a world, he would also be the controller of this world.
Jian Sanshan smiled, "The Grand Change Realm does have a controller, but not everyone can control the Grand Change Realm. If that's the case, who would want to go to the Grand Change Realm? As for our Grand Essence Realm, it used to have a controller. But after the realm shattered, the controller went missing. Now, the Sect Alliance and the major sects have come together to take charge of the Grand Essence Realm. "
Ning Cheng finally felt relieved. In case someone took control of the Grand Essence Realm, he would have to find a way to escape. Controlling the Grand Change Realm was equivalent to having a controller. Ning Cheng could still accept such a thing.
"Brother Ning, you have a chance to win a place in the Pill Exchange Conference to compete in the Five Grand Realms. You must not miss it." After Jian Sanshan finished, he also reminded Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was just about to ask when he heard Holy Emperor Qing Yi continue, "In this Pill Exchange Conference, our Grand Essence Realm will select five alchemists to represent our Grand Essence Realm in the Five Grand Realms' Pill Competition. The alchemists who can represent the Grand Essence Realm in the Five Grand Realms' Pill Competition will receive a Heaven Essence Fruit in addition to the support of the major sects and clans ….. "
As the three words Heaven Essence Fruit spread, the entire venue immediately turned lively. This kind of priceless Dao Fruit was taken out at once as a reward. This kind of extravagance was simply unimaginable.
Although many Dao Fruits appeared in the Fantasy Orchard, hundreds of them together might not be as valuable as one Heaven Essence Fruit. Even if Jing Han and the others entered the fourth floor, they would at most obtain a few Dao Transformation Dao Fruits.
The Heaven Essence Fruit was a genuine Dao Essence Dao Fruit, and it was one of the most precious Dao Essence Dao Fruits. It was a Dao Fruit that allowed first-step Dao Confirming Holy Emperors to comprehend the second-step Dao Essence Dao Fruit. One could say that obtaining a Heaven Essence Fruit gave one a chance to become a second-step Dao Essence Holy Emperor.
Even Ning Cheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. He had obtained dozens of Dao Fruit Trees in the Fantasy Orchard, but he hadn't obtained a single Heaven Essence Fruit. Even the most valuable Dao Fruit couldn't compare to the Heaven Essence Fruit.
"… … As far as we know, if you can get first place in the Pill Competition, you will get a top-grade wood-attributed God Spirit Vein. Apart from the first place, the second and third place rewards are equally precious ….. "
Hearing this, Ning Cheng immediately put aside the Heaven Essence Fruit. His mind was now filled with the wood-attributed top-grade God Spirit Vein.
Because of its rarity, attributed God Spirit Veins were much more valuable than non-attributed God Spirit Veins. Among them, the most valuable was naturally the wood-attributed God Spirit Vein, not to mention a top-grade wood-attributed God Spirit Vein.
Ning Cheng had felt an itch in his heart when he saw the wood-attributed high-grade God Spirit Vein in the Fantasy Orchard. Now, there was even a top-grade wood-attributed God Spirit Vein as a reward. Ning Cheng had to participate in this competition. Whether he could get first place or not, he had to fight for this wood-attributed top-grade God Spirit Vein.
As long as he obtained this God Spirit Vein, the various medicine gardens and Dao Fruit Trees in his Mysterious Yellow Bead would glow with new vitality.
"Brother Ning, don't think that the Heaven Essence Fruit is the most precious. In fact, as long as you get into the top five, you can represent the Grand Essence Realm in the Pill Competition of the Five Grand Realms. Your harvest wouldn't be any weaker than the Heaven Essence Fruit. "Jian Sanshan saw Ning Cheng's eyes glowing with golden light and thought that Ning Cheng had become tempted by the Heaven Essence Fruit.
He didn't think that Ning Cheng wanted a wood-attributed top-grade Spirit Vein. Ning Cheng was a genius in the Dao of Alchemy, but he didn't believe that Ning Cheng could take first place in the Pill Gathering Grand Competition of the five grand realms.
Don't look at how only five people from the Grand Essence Realm participated in the Pill Competition of the Five Grand Realms. The other realms had dozens of Pill Saints participating in the Pill Competition. Some even had Primordial Chaos Pill Saints. The Grand Essence Realm couldn't compare to such a level.
"Do you mean the support from the major sects and clans mentioned by Holy Emperor Qing Yi?" Ning Cheng asked.
Jian Sanshan gave an 'en' sound, "That's right. Every time the Grand Essence Realm qualifies to participate in the Five Grand Realms' Great Competition, whether you compete in Alchemy, Artefact-crafting or Dao Laws, many sects would show their goodwill. Their requirements are simple. That is, if you get a spot, they want to distribute a portion of it to their sects. Therefore, as long as you can get into the top five in this Pill Discussion Grand Assembly, cultivation resources would come rolling in. "
"Then how many spots would the champion of the Five Grand Realms' Great Pill Competition get?"
Jian Sanshan replied, "I don't know about that. I only know that no matter what kind of competition it is, only the top ten would get the rewards."
Ning Cheng understood a bit about it. No wonder it was so difficult to get a place in the Grand Essence Realm. Five people competing for the top ten in front of hundreds of powerful Pill Saints. Moreover, many of them were Primordial Chaos Pill Saints. It would truly be difficult to win.
