Elder Wu looked at Yang Chen with an awkward expression and said, “Young Master Yang…”
“Master.” Yang Caidie stood obediently beside Elder Wu.
Yang Chen clasped his hands. He didn’t hold much grudge against Elder Wu after meeting his sister today. He slowly said, “Elder Wu, you can go back and tell the Sect Leader of the Ziyang Sect that I’ll let go of our past grudges. Not only that, but I’ll personally thank you for taking care of my sister in the Ziyang Sect in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that
Yang Chen’s grievances had been completely resolved. She repeatedly said, “Young Master Yang, I’m here today on behalf of the Ziyang Sect to sincerely invite you to join us. You can rest assured that as long as you join the Ziyang Sect, our Sect Leader can even take you as a personal disciple. What do you think, Young Master Yang Chen?”
Looking at Elder Wu, who still didn’t understand his intention for leaving her waiting for half a day, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. “Elder Wu, we’ll talk about this matter later!”
Elder Wu was stunned for a moment. Upon carefully thinking about Yang Chen’s indifference towards her from the beginning to the end, she realized his meaning and bitterly smiled, “If that’s the case, I won’t bother Young Master Yang anymore!”
Yang Chen silently watched Elder Wu and his sister leave without uttering a word.
Just as his thoughts were interrupted, Yang Chen suddenly turned his head and said to the two sudden visitors, “Who might you two be…?”
He was somewhat surprised since he didn’t know when these two people appeared in the courtyard. If not for the rainbow reminder, he wouldn’t have noticed their arrival.
Upon closer inspection, these two people were dressed in the attire of Beishan Main City and were both elderly with Origin Martial Realm cultivation. It wasn’t difficult to guess that they were from Beishan Main City.
Yang Chen naturally couldn’t afford to be careless and expressed enough respect to avoid being accused of disrespecting his elders in the future.
One of the white-haired elders smiled warmly, “We are junior stewards of Beishan Main City. My last name is Huang. I hope you can forgive us for our uninvited visit.”
“There’s no need for forgiveness. I’m truly honored to have two seniors visit me.” Yang Chen smiled, “I wonder what brings you two here today?”
The two elders laughed gently, “The final assessment of the Alchemist knockout competition will take place the day after tomorrow. We came to inform you, Young Master Yang Chen. Here is the Assessment Order. We hope you can be punctual, and the location can be found on the order.”
Yang Chen nodded and accepted the Assessment Order, then said, “I’ve noted it down. I’ll be there on time the day after tomorrow!”
The two elders clasped their hands, “In that case, we’ll take our leave.”
They came and went like shadows, disappearing as soon as their voices faded.
Standing in place, Yang Chen couldn’t help but narrow his eyes to think.
He couldn’t help but smile and sigh.
He more or less understood Beishan Main City’s intention of bypassing the selection competition and going straight to the knockout competition. Beishan Main City probably wanted to use this opportunity to draw him in.
After all, it would be quite challenging to recruit a genius like him, and the process wouldn’t be as simple as just saying so.
However, today, Beishan Main City only seemed to be informing him, not even trying to draw him into the city. Yang Chen silently sighed.
He was somewhat disappointed in Beishan Main City.
Giving his current performance, Yang Chen didn’t think he lacked the qualifications to join Beishan Main City.
However, since Beishan Main City didn’t appreciate him, he certainly wouldn’t shamelessly join them.
Knowing that the alchemy assessment would begin the day after tomorrow, he made some preparations after some thought.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the day after tomorrow.
Yang Chen entered the venue according to the assessment order, led by the Zhou Family.
It must be said that the scale of the Alchemist knockout competition was equally astonishing. As the ultimate contest for alchemists, all major sects would be present on the viewing platform. As Yang Chen entered the venue, he could see various sects at a glance.
Canghai Sect, Yuanshan Sect, Beishan Main City.
As well as the Six Sects and various other smaller sects.
The Alchemy Lineage was of utmost importance to countless forces.
Hands behind his back, Yang Chen had already inquired about the rules of the knockout competition before coming.
The rules for the Alchemist knockout competition as the final match were somewhat similar to those of the Martial Battle competition.
That is to say, it was also a ring competition.
One hundred and twenty-eight alchemy geniuses would compete in the final alchemy contest. Whoever could refine the more superior elixir on the ring could advance to the next round.
As Yang Chen was lost in thought, a referee from Beishan Main City had already entered the venue. Likewise, Yang Chen glanced around and saw many young alchemists he didn’t recognize, ready to go. It was clear that the Alchemist knockout competition would soon begin.
“Look!”
“That’s Elder Hu, Master Hu Dan, the person in charge of this Alchemist knockout competition.”
“He’s the Alchemy Master who came up with the Chi Lian Dan during the first round of the basic assessment.”
“I heard that Elder Hu’s alchemy level has reached a peak, even surpassing the Sect Leader of Huangshan Sect.”
“That’s just hearsay, but it’s said that there is little difference between their alchemy levels, and neither is stronger nor weaker.”
Yang Chen followed the voices and saw an old man with an extraordinary bearing, hands behind his back, standing on a high platform. This elder, with long white whiskers and handsome brows, was the Elder Hu that everyone was talking about, the founder of the Chi Lian Dan during the Basic Assessment.
Elder Hu was the person in charge of this Alchemist knockout competition.
Seeing that it was time, Elder Hu slowly said, “Everyone, the time has come. I announce that the Alchemist knockout competition officially begins!” Instantly, the whole scene boiled with excitement.
Elder Hu stroked his beard, looking quite satisfied with the effect as he loudly said, “I don’t need to say much about the rules of this Alchemist knockout competition. One hundred and twenty-eight alchemy geniuses will compete today to determine the top eight..”
