In the blink of an eye, another week passed, and Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan finally welcomed the day when the Alchemy Conference officially started.

The venue of the Alchemy Conference was located in the northern area of ​​Shengdan City. That place had been occupied by a terrifying sea of ​​people a few days ago. Therefore, when Xiao Yuan and his party arrived there, they could only see a densely packed sea of ​​heads that seemed to have no end. The deafening noise turned into a terrifying sound wave that spread out.

Relying on Xiao Yuan's identity, the group would not have nowhere to stay. They were now on a high platform. Most of the people here were relatives and friends of the elders and other staff members within Danta.

And below, there was a huge square of nearly a thousand feet in size. In the air above the square, there were many stone platforms floating in the air. These stone platforms were emitting a faint light, which looked quite magical.

"Those stone platforms are the final seats for the contestants."

Ye Zhong pointed at the stone platforms that were suspended in the air and attracted everyone's attention, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.

With the insider Xiao Yuan's advance disclosure, Xiao Yan naturally knew that this alchemy conference was extremely grand, and not everyone who attended the conference would be eligible to go on stage. Strictly speaking, there were two major selection stages before entering the venue.

At the entrance of the square, there is a dark gray distorted space filled with a dark gray gas that can block people's vision.

The most basic qualification for participating in the Alchemy Contest is to reach the level of a fifth-grade alchemist, and the dark gray space is the first level, also known as the illusion level. The dark gray gas is bred in the body of a magical beast called the Phantom Soul Beast. It can not only block people's vision, but also cause certain obstacles to soul detection. In addition, there is another mystery in that space. The space is overlapping like a maze. Once you enter it, you will lose your sense of direction and get lost. If you don't get out within a certain period of time, you will lose your qualification to participate.

If you pass this environmental level, you will be qualified to enter the Dan world.

Danjie is a piece of space, which is said to have been created by a Dousheng strongman in Danta a long time ago. But later due to some reasons, Danjie gradually fell into ruin. However, Danjie is definitely a treasure land that countless alchemists dream of, as there are countless natural treasures and many rare medicinal materials that are hard to find in the outside world.

Alchemists who are qualified to enter will be assigned a list with some rare medicinal materials on it, and the contestants need to rely on their own abilities to get all of these medicinal materials within the Dan Realm. Only then can they exchange them for a space stone at the exit, come out of the Dan Realm, and participate in the final competition!

Those stone platforms in the sky are set up for those successful people who make it to the final level.

Of course, for Xiao Yan, this was not difficult at all, as he had already made it up in advance.

"Okay, I have to go now. I'll be back later."

After giving instructions to the people behind him, Xiao Yuan tore open the space and drilled in.

Ever since his strength broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Yuan's control over the force of space has become more and more proficient. Now, he is almost as strong as Skyfire Venerable, who has the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zun.

"Old Wang, are you also attending this alchemy meeting?"

Xiao Yan looked at Wang Yuandan, who was standing aside and looked energetic and had turned into a middle-aged man, and said with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Master, Master said that although I am a little older, I have finally entered the eighth level. Participating in such a grand event and refining eighth-level elixirs under pressure will also help to stabilize my realm."

Wang Yuandan said with a smile.

He returned to Danta five days ago, and with the help of Xiao Yuan, he successfully broke through to the eighth level and officially became Xiao Yuan's disciple. Therefore, according to seniority, he now has to call Xiao Yan his uncle.

In addition, he himself is also a Dou Zun-level warrior, although he is only one star, but he is also a real Dou Zun. Although Xiao Yuan is not worried that Xiao Yan will suffer losses in the Dan world, he understands the principle of being prepared better than anyone else.

"Alas, I'm still not used to your change of identity."

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

Although Wang Yuandan took a Huiyan Pill when he became a disciple, which restored his appearance to a relatively younger state, he still looked a little old compared to a young man like Xiao Yan.

"It will be fine once you get used to it, uncle."

Wang Yuandan didn't mind it.

He is obsessed with refining medicine. Whether it is Xiao Yuan or Xiao Yan, their medicine refining skills are better than his. As the saying goes, the master is the one who is more skilled.

As the two were talking, a clear bell sound suddenly resounded throughout the world. The bell sound spread out in a mighty manner, suppressing even the deafening noise.

As the bell rang, the world became much quieter. Countless eyes were fixed on the towering stone platform on the east side of the square. That was where the top leaders of Danta would appear.

And not long after the bell rang, bursts of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and then the space on the stone platform was slightly distorted, and more than a dozen figures slowly emerged.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the dozen or so figures, and then stopped on the four figures in the middle.

In the middle is Senior Xuankongzi, on the left is Senior Tianleizi, on the right is Aunt Xuan, and the third brother is half a cloth behind Aunt Xuan, but his white robe embroidered with purple and gold patterns is particularly eye-catching.

As soon as the four people appeared, the world became much quieter. In the endless sea of ​​people, countless eyes filled with various emotions were focused on these four people. The three giants of Danta, this title, not to mention Zhongzhou, even if you look at the Douqi Continent, it can be regarded as truly famous. These three people generally exist in legends, and now they suddenly show up, which makes countless people feel like they are in a dream.

However, when they came to their senses, they were full of curiosity about Xiao Yuan's identity. After all, this was the first time they saw such a young face appearing next to the three giants.

"Haha, I, Xuan Kongzi, in this Dan Pagoda welcome all the alchemists who come here. In the coming days, this will be the stage for you to show off your skills!"

Xuan Kongzi, a man with white hair, walked out slowly, and his gentle voice sounded clearly in the ears of everyone present.

The whole place was silent. No matter how unruly and fierce the people were, they could only restrain their ferocity at this moment and dared not to contradict in the slightest. After all, the three people on the stone platform were not far from the top existences on this continent.
"You all came all the way here for the alchemy conference. I don't want to waste time, but I have to say a few more words today. I believe that you all have a deep impression of the baptism of the seven-colored alchemy thunder a month ago, right?"

Xuan Kongzi paused, and then continued, "The instigator of that Dan Lei was the proud child standing next to President Xuan Yi. He was only in his early twenties, but he was already an eighth-grade high-level alchemist, Xiao Yuan! As Xuan Yi's disciple, he has been determined to be one of the next three giants of Danta!"

As Xuan Kongzi's words fell, the whole place suddenly became like a boiling pot, with deafening discussions.

"What? At this age, he is already an eighth-grade high-level alchemist?"

"Yeah, this is incredible!"

"Hey, you don't know, this is a peerless genius that President Xuan Yi has personally cultivated for twenty years. He can truly be called a man who makes a big splash when he does make a name for himself!"

"Isn't that right? I came from the Northern Territory. Who doesn't know about Xiao Yuan's terrifying record of slaughtering all the strong men of the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion by himself? How could he become an eighth-grade alchemist? If that's true, let alone the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion, even Master Lei would have to greet Xiao Yuan politely with a smile on his face when he sees him!"

"What about the Thunder Master? It seems that you are not well-informed. I lived in Yecheng some time ago and saw it with my own eyes. Xiao Yuan waved his hand and summoned the Thunder Master, the Pavilion Master of the North Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and the puppets of the four elders. With the power of Dou Zong, they killed the Ice Master. At that time, I was wondering why this person was so powerful. Now it seems that his soul power has long been strong enough to rival that of a Dou Zun!"

"My goodness, is this true? You mean, not only was Lei Zun killed by him, but he was also turned into a puppet?"

"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"

"???"

"Wait, it seems to be true! I have seen the witch from the Cao family once, and she seems a little inferior to Xiao Yuan."

"Haha, if that witch heard you say that, you'd be doomed."

The constant discussions made many people who didn't know Xiao Yuan finally understand how amazing this so-called genius was!

Although the topic seems to have gone off track at the end
"Haha, it seems that our little giant has become famous. There is no need for me to say more. This alchemy meeting will be hosted by him!"

Xuan Kongzi took in all the discussions, but he almost forgot that Xiao Yuan had been busy ever since he came to Zhongzhou, so why did he need to introduce him?
As Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, Xiao Yuan took a step forward and appeared in front of the high-level members of Danta. He stood in the air and spoke calmly:
"Everyone, I am Xiao Yuan. Welcome to Shengdan City and to this Alchemy Conference. Whether you have heard of my name before or not, from today on, you will know me. Everyone knows the rules of the Alchemy Conference, so I will not say much. This year's Alchemy Conference is still divided into three steps as usual."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel emotional as he listened to Xiao Yuan's introduction to the Alchemy Association selection.

The third brother said that he didn't want to be in charge, but when he was really needed, he was very decisive!
"As long as you pass the three selections and still stand at the end, you will become the champion of this Alchemy Conference!" Xiao Yuan looked at the crowd that was stirred by the word "champion" and smiled faintly, saying: "And this year's champion will not only be able to obtain a place as a candidate for the Danta giant, but also get a volume of ancient soul cultivation methods. It is just around the corner for him to step into the eighth or even ninth level in the future!"

Wow!
As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the dense crowd. Countless alchemists' eyes turned bloodshot at this moment. Eighth grade? Ninth grade? This almost legendary level was as far away from them as heaven and earth. However, if they could obtain the ancient soul cultivation method, the distance would be infinitely shortened!
This will have a fatal attraction for all alchemists!
Even Xiao Yan could not resist this kind of temptation, so after Xiao Yuan finished speaking, his breathing quietly became much heavier. He knew very well how rare and precious the ancient soul cultivation methods were. It was not an exaggeration to describe such treasures as priceless!

Although Yao Lao had also given Xiao Yan this method of cultivating the soul, to be honest, no one would think it was too much of such a good thing, right?

"I am determined to win this championship!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists as a hint of heat flashed across his dark eyes. He didn’t care much about his status as a candidate for the giant, but he had his reasons for winning the championship!

On the high platform, Xiao Yuan looked at those eyes that suddenly turned bloodshot, smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, then waved his sleeves lightly, and a vast invisible wave spread out, then hit the void, and a long bell-like sound burst out again.

"The time has come. All contestants of level five or above, please enter the first level, Soul Illusion!"

Xiao Yuan's finger suddenly turned towards the entrance of the huge square. There, the dark gray space was rapidly twisting, forming a strange world of its own.

"boom!"

As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, figures flashed out from the endless sea of ​​people, like locusts, sweeping across the sky and all plunging into the twisted space.

Looking at the figure that kept rushing into the twisted space like a heavy rain, Xiao Yan also took a deep breath and stepped out slowly.

Familiar gazes fell from the sky, and Xiao Yan knew that it was not only his third brother's gaze, but also his teacher's, Aunt Xuan's, and even the two seniors Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi's!
"come on!"

Hearing the cheers from his four sisters-in-law, Skyfire Reverend, Ye Chong, Xin Lan and others, Xiao Yan smiled. Then he stomped his foot on the air and his figure turned into a black shadow. Then, under the gazes of countless people, he rushed into the dark grey twisted space without any hesitation!
And Wang Yuandan followed like a shadow.

The fierce competition among the dragons and tigers in the Alchemy Association has finally officially begun at this moment!
High in the sky, Xiao Yuan looked down at the crowd below, his eyes moving slightly.

In fact, he was quite interested in the world of alchemy.

How about going in and taking a look later?

Speaking of which, there has been no news from the Xuanming Sect for such a long time. I don’t know if they are scared or are holding back a big news.

Thoughts were running through his mind, but Xiao Yuan remained expressionless. He quietly retreated behind Xuan Yi and smiled shyly.

"Yes, much better than someone else."

Xuan Yi smiled and nodded.

The group of Danta elders behind him were somewhat surprised to see Xuan Yi being so friendly towards Xiao Yuan.

You know, although Xuan Yi is not as serious as Tian Lei Zi, he rarely shows such a gentle smile.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a direct disciple! (End of this chapter)
