After some conversation, Ye Mo already knew that the girl with slightly dark skin following Mu Yiqing was his daughter, Mu He, with a cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi cultivation. The young man was called Lu Ming, Mu Yiqing’s eldest disciple, with a cultivation level of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. The old man who didn’t talk much was the highest cultivator of the ‘Dan Cao Sect’, without a name, everyone called him Uncle Morning.
They soon became familiar with each other, and Ye Mo could see that apart from Mu Yiqing, Mu He and Lu Ming were both simple-minded people, without any fancy ideas. Apart from being slightly dark-skinned, Mu He was very clean-looking, and it was obvious that Lu Ming had a fondness for this little sister, and was even secretly in love with her.
The two spots for the ‘Dan Cao Sect’ were originally for both Mu Yiqing and Lu Ming to participate, but because of Ye Mo’s entry, Lu Ming would not go and instead Chapter 891 – Alchemy Hall of Fame Grand Competition was given directly to Ye Mo.
Of course Ye Mo wouldn’t refuse, he had originally come for this spot. Besides, Lu Ming could only refine first-grade spirit pills at the highest, and it wasn’t very stable, so he had entered originally just to see the world.
At the same time, Ye Mo also learnt that although the entry requirements for the Dan Competition were simple, the sects had a quota limit. There were only five places for five-star sects, and all sects below five stars had two places. But many sects don’t even have a single dan master, and these two places can’t even be used up.
There were still three days to go before the Alchemy Hall of Fame Competition. Mu He and Lu Ming had probably never been to a busy place like Broken Leaf City before, so they couldn’t stay inside the inn. Ye Mo, however, did not dare to go out, one was because he was shy and the other was afraid of Tong Heifei’s face.
Yan Zheng had not come to see him since the last time he had come to tell Ye Mo that he could not represent the ‘Immortal Treasure House’ in the competition.
Instead, Mu Yiqing and Uncle Early had gone to the auction. Because there was an auction every time the Dan a*sociation held the Hall of Fame Competition, but although Ye Mo had a lot of good things, he didn’t dare to show up and he could only hide inside the inn alone to cultivate.
……
Three days pa*sed in a flash, and this day was already the first day of the Alchemy Hall of Fame’s Grand Competition, Chapter 891 Alchemy Hall of Fame Grand Competition. Mu Yiqing had brought Ye Mo and the others to the Grand Plaza of the Dan Fair early, and although they had come early, the Grand Plaza had already been filled with people.
“So many people.” Mu He stared blankly at the dense heads of people in the square. Exclaiming in awe.
Not to mention Mu He, even Ye Mo was secretly in awe, there were indeed quite a lot of people. At the very top of the square. An area with a huge ban cut off the area for onlookers and the area for the alchemy competition, and the competition area had long been seated with a dozen judges.
At a glance, Ye Mo saw Tong Blackface, who was sitting among many of the judges. His face was expressionless. Ye Mo hurriedly lowered his head, he didn’t see Sima Zhun, and his heart was finally a little more at ease. In Ye Mo’s heart, Sima Zhan was much more sinister than this child black face.
However, when Ye Mo saw the many contestants in the competition area, he once again sighed in his heart, there were so many contestants, how long was the competition going to last? Ye Mo roughly estimated that there were at least five to six thousand people competing.
Mu Yiqing instructed Uncle Zao to take Mu He and Lu Ming outside to watch while he led Ye Mo in with his jade token to register.
“Senior Brother Mu, there are so many people competing here. How long will the competition take?” Ye Mo didn’t hold back and still asked, to him the shorter the time to enter the competition the better. The reason why he called Senior Brother Mu was because Ye Mo was now representing the ‘Gra*s Dan Sect’.
Mu Yiqing had obviously not entered the competition for the first time, he said with a faint smile, ”Senior Brother Ye. You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to look at the fact that there are so many participants, but the first one is an elimination round and more than ninety percent will be eliminated on the first question.”
Ye Mo was dumbfounded before he murmured, “The elimination rate is so high?” As a Dan King, even if he didn’t use the ‘Misty Lotus Heart Flame’, he could still refine a ninth grade spirit pill if he wanted to. So he hadn’t thought about the fact that he would be eliminated.
But now, after hearing Mu Yiqing say that the elimination rate of the first round was surprisingly high, he was a little worried for a moment. With such a high elimination rate, the first question was definitely not about alchemy. What if the first round of questions rubbed shoulders with alchemy and he just didn’t know about it?
Mu Yiqing seemed to know what Ye Mo was thinking as he patted Ye Mo’s shoulder and said, “The number of people this time is two or three times more than before, I think the elimination rate should be faster.”
Ye Mo agreed with Mu Yiqing’s words, if they really came to refine pills one by one, how long would it take for 5,000 to 6,000 people to refine pills?
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to the alchemy platform and said in front of the noisy square, “Everyone, be quiet, the decade-long Alchemy Hall of Fame Grand Competition is about to begin. This competition is initiated by the North Hope Continent Dan a*sociation, and is even presided over by my number one Dan King of the North Hope Continent, Senior Kong Ye, the Fifth Grade Dan King.”
Here this middle-aged man paused for a moment, although he didn’t seem to speak loudly, every word penetrated every corner of the square, and the people in the square applauded like thunder when they heard the words Senior Kong Ye.
The middle-aged man waited for the applause to pa*s and said again, “As the City Lord of Shattered Leaf City, on behalf of Shattered Leaf City, I, Hong Jian, would like to welcome friends from all walks of life in the cultivation world, Senior Kong Ye and the ten famous judges of the Dan Competition. These ten famous judges are, Sect Leader Qiao of Dan Ding Mountain, and Valley Master Ming Xin of Immortal Medicine Valley ……”
With Fang Hongjian’s introduction, the same thunderous applause was heard from below, and those who participated in the Dan Tournament were even more chattering.
“The top of this Hall of Fame Dan Tournament is really taking it seriously, even Elder Kong Ye is here.”
“Does it even need to be said? Look at those judges, they are all quasi-Dan Kings at the lowest. I heard that Senior Ming Xin of Immortal Medicine Valley is also a First Grade Dan King.”
……
Ye Mo was baffled by what he heard, he didn’t know any of the judges these people were talking about, except for Tong Blackface.
When Mu Yiqing saw Ye Mo’s expression, he immediately knew that he didn’t know these people at all, and whispered in his ear, “Elder Kong Ye is a fifth-grade Dan King, and is very powerful in refining pills, but he normally doesn’t ask about the world, so the fact that he can come over this time shows how important this Dan Tournament is. There is also Senior Ming Xin, but he is from the Immortal Pill Valley, the Immortal Pill Valley usually doesn’t participate in such things either, but this time he has even come out, that is one of the few five-star sects in the Northern Hope Continent.”
“What is the Immortal Pill Valley?” Ye Mo looked at Mu Yiqing in surprise and asked.
Mu Yiqing froze, but when he thought that Ye Mo didn’t even know very well about the Hall of Fame Competition registration, he understood. He looked at the judges on the stage and said somewhat enviously, “Immortal Medicine Valley is one of the most famous Dan Valleys in North Hope Continent, and the pills they make are very famous throughout North Hope Continent. Many people with a pa*sion for alchemy want to join the Immortal Medicine Valley, but unfortunately others only accept female disciples. Moreover, senior Ming Xin’s disciple, Qin Muxin, is not only a rare beauty in the world, but also ranked fifth in the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame, and was even ranked twenty-second in the last Alchemy Hall of Fame.”
“That impressive?” Although Ye Mo didn’t know how powerful the fifth in the Northern Hope Continent Foundation Building Hall of Fame was, he knew it when he thought about Li Baisen of the Zhengyuan Sword Sect. This Li Baisen was only the first in the Foundation Building Hall of Fame of a four-star sect, and he was that powerful, how big was the Northern Hope Continent? To be ranked fifth in the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame, how much more impressive would that be?
“Of course it’s powerful.” Mu Yiqing said without hesitation, “I heard that Qin Muxin has recently broken through to become a quasi seventh-grade Spiritual Dan master and officially a seventh-grade Spiritual Dan master, but he’s still just under thirty.”
A cultivator next to him who was participating in the Dan Tournament heard Mu Yiqing’s words and immediately jacked in, “Friend your news is out of date, Qin Muxin had already advanced to Gold Dan three months ago and is now long gone from the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame, perhaps soon she will appear above the Gold Dan Hall of Fame.”
Ye Mo fell silent, he never considered himself a genius, the reason he was where he was today was because he had obtained the Golden Page World and the ‘Three Life Technique’. But he couldn’t imagine that Qin Muxin was less than thirty and his cultivation level was already a Golden Dan.
He was aware of how much time it took to become a seventh-grade spirit dan master, and that time might be even longer than the time it took to form a dan. In other words, if Qin Muxin didn’t refine pills and concentrated on cultivation, she might have already formed a YuanYing, could there really be such geniuses in the world? For the first time, Ye Mo felt that his confidence had been shattered.
“Although Qin Muxin is powerful, she was only the fifth in the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame before she advanced to the Golden Dan. Cultivation I think the number one thing is to rely on cultivation, as for the rest it is secondary, Li Zhaohwa who is number one in the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame is the one who deserves my admiration, he is still only twenty three years old.” Immediately, someone else said.
The cultivator who spoke earlier didn’t refute his words, nodded and said, “Li Zhaohwa of the Sea Palace can complete his Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-three, and also won the number one spot in the Foundation Establishment Hall of Fame, he does have strength, but the abundance of resources of the Sea Palace is far from being comparable to other sects.”
Ye Mo no longer cared to listen to their discussion, he felt that he was only at the seventh level of foundation building at over thirty, this was still with the help of the Golden Page World, otherwise he would not even have the qualifications to speak. This speed was simply a far cry from those geniuses.
Fang Hongjian’s mellow voice came again, “What everyone knows is that this a*sembly is not only to elect new members of the Alchemy Hall of Fame, but more importantly, the top ten of this a*sembly will each get three spots to enter the Sand Plain Pill Valley. In addition to that ……”
Speaking here, Fang Hongjian deliberately paused for a moment, then swept a glance at the nervous participating cultivators before saying, “In addition to that, the top ten will receive one free alchemy by senior Kong Ye ……”
As soon as Fang Hongjian’s words fell, the scene suddenly boomed and became noisy. Elder Kong Ye giving his hand to refine pills, that was something that one could not even dream of getting.
The reason why many of the cultivators here had not advanced was because they did not have the pills to do so; it was not that they did not have the spiritual herbs, but because they had collected them for years but had been unable to find someone to refine the pills. Besides, they were going to the Sand Plain Medicine Valley soon, so they were still afraid of not having spirit herbs?
It could be said that the news that Fang Hongjian said was enough to drive all of them crazy. What pills could the Fifth Grade Dan King not refine? Still worried about not being able to advance to the next level? Even if they just let Elder Kong Ye refine the rest of the Heavenly Pills and sell them, they would still be rich…
