"Long Wanli? The one who called the Dead Soul Demon Emperor brothers back then? "
"That's right. Back then, when the Dead Soul Demon Emperor roamed the continent, he befriended many brothers. Although their strength was far from the Dead Soul Demon Emperor's, the Dead Soul Demon Emperor didn't care about their strength at all. When he befriended them, it was all about pride."
"It's said that the cultivators who befriended the Dead Soul Demon Emperor all rose very quickly. This Long Wanli is one of them. Back then, he was just a small character, but now, he's the Valley Lord of the Dragon Scale Valley."
Evidently, Long Wanli also had some fame.
"My Dragon Scale Valley is the first one who can't stand the way your Pill Clan does things. Today, I'm here to cause trouble, and I believe that all the participants are also willing to cause trouble with me."
Long Wanli faintly said, "The champion of the previous Alchemist Competition, Ye Xiao, isn't from your Pill Clan, but he was stripped of his title for no reason. This time, not only my Dragon Scale Valley, but also the Palace of Darkness, the Radiant Palace, the Snow Mountain, and many other major forces are here. We want to be transparent, and we'll set the rules for this Alchemist Competition."
"What did you say? What do you take our Pill Clan for? "
Immediately, an elder of the Pill Clan raged, "Since ancient times, the Alchemist Competition has always been held by our Pill Clan. When did it become your turn?"
"Then why don't you explain why Ye Xiao was stripped of his title in the previous Alchemist Competition? Ye Xiao didn't cheat. On the contrary, the pellets refined by Dan Chenzi and the Pill Saint's successor are suspicious. "
Another elder walked out. This person wore a black robe and was the Palace Lord of the Palace of Darkness, Nalan Xie.
"What? Are you doubting the alchemy standards of Dan Chenzi and the Pill Saint's successor? "
The Pill Saint's expression remained unchanged as he coldly said.
"I'm not the one who said that. I heard what the participants said from the crowd. Even if the Alchemist Competition is successfully held, we won't be convinced. You've already stripped the champion of the Alchemist Competition once, so it's inevitable that you'll do it again."
Nalan Xie said indifferently.
At this moment, the faces of the Pill Saint and the elders of the Dan Clan darkened. It would be fine if it was just one or two forces attacking them, but several forces had banded together. Although their strength was not comparable to the Dead Soul Royal Tribe, the Dead Soul Royal Tribe was not willing to provoke them. After all, they were friends with the Dead Soul Demon Emperor. The Dead Soul Clan would help them out of respect for the Dead Soul Demon Emperor.
"What do you want?"
The Pill Saint's voice was extremely gloomy.
"Since almost all of the participants are here, we can immediately announce the rules of the competition in front of everyone."
Long Wanli's powerful voice rang out, "There is no specific procedure for the competition. Everyone will be in the public square and refine the medicinal pill that they are proficient in. The winner will be decided in one go. Both sides will send a hundred guards to check the pill furnace and the competition to see if there are any suspicions of cheating. If there are any suspicions of cheating, you will be directly eliminated from the competition. The result will be determined by the difficulty and purity of the medicinal pill."
"The participant with the highest result will be the champion of the Alchemist Competition. It will be witnessed by everyone, and no one will be able to take away his title."
Long Wanli stated the rules that he had thought of in one breath. They had long disliked the Dan Clan's way of doing things. Now that the Dan Clan had directly stripped Ye Xiao of the championship title, it had directly become the fuse for this matter.
"Alright! That's it. As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. If the Alchemist Competition is to be held in this kind of environment, we will also agree. "
"Everyone refining medicinal pills in the same public square, just thinking about it makes me excited."
The surrounding alchemists agreed.
"Pill Saint, I wonder what the Dan Clan thinks about this?"
Long Wanli asked.
"The Alchemist Competition focuses on the strictness of the competition. A single medicinal pill cannot determine the standard of an alchemist."
The Pill Saint's face slightly changed. This rule had clearly disrupted their previous plans.
"True gold fears no fire. If the disciples of the Dan Clan are truly capable, the medicinal pills that they refine will definitely be unparalleled."
Long Wanli smiled and continued, "Of course, you can choose to refuse. I don't think many people will be willing to participate in the Alchemist Competition anyway."
The Pill Saint knew that the Dan Clan had lost their credibility after the commotion at the Dragonscale Valley. They had come to participate in the Alchemist Competition only to obtain a ranking. Even if they didn't participate, it wouldn't matter.
"Do you really think that you can become the champion by using this method?"
The Pill Saint suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, we will hold the Alchemist Competition according to the rules you mentioned. It will start tomorrow, and when the time comes, the disciples of the Dan Clan will take the top 10."
With that, the Pill Saint let out a maniacal laugh and left the place with the elders.
After the Pill Saint left, Long Wanli's expression turned gloomy. Although this method could avoid cheating and make the competition fair and open, the Dan Clan still had the strength. If a dark horse like Ye Xiao hadn't appeared, the champion of the Alchemist Competition would still be the Dan Clan.
"Yang Rong, let's go meet those friends!"
Ye Mo said calmly. Because he was in the crowd, not many people noticed him.
"Yes!"
Yang Rong nodded and walked over. She said to Long Lin, "I am Yang Rong from the Pill City's Yang Clan. After seeing your performance earlier, I would like to make friends with you."
Long Lin's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Rong. Although Yang Rong wasn't extremely beautiful, she was enough to make Long Lin's heart beat faster. He smiled and said, "I am Long Lin from the Dragonscale Valley. I was just fooling around earlier. Sorry for the embarrassment."
"Why did you guys come up with this?"
Yang Rong asked curiously.
"We've long disliked the Dan Clan," Long Lin said. "They want to unify the alchemy world. That's just wishful thinking. That's why we invited some friends over to join in the fun.
Let's put down the arrogance of the Dan Clan. "
"And this is?"
Long Lin asked curiously when he noticed Ye Mo, who was wearing a cloak.
"I am the young lady's assistant," Ye Mo said. "I specialize in fire control. I believe I will be able to help the young lady in the Alchemist Competition."
Ye Mo replied.
"I see."
Long Lin nodded. He looked at Yang Rong and said, "Young Lady Yang, you must be very skilled in alchemy. Why don't we find a place to discuss this?"
"Sure!"
Yang Rong nodded. She seemed to have a good impression of Long Lin. After greeting Ye Mo, she and Long Lin found an empty spot and sat down to chat.
Ye Mo shook his head helplessly. He had originally planned to get to know Long Wanli through Long Lin. But seeing the two of them chatting so happily, he gave up on that idea.
His gaze slowly shifted to where the Pill Clan was. A fierce glint appeared on his face that was hidden under the cloak, "Pill Saint, I will destroy your reputation tomorrow. In the end, I will kill you. For a despicable person like you, dying a hundred times is not considered too much."
