"The next thing to be done is the finals of this alchemy conference," Elder Changsu pointed to the altar-like place in front: "The finals will be completely closed, and even we can't participate, so our evaluation of you is,
That’s it for now.”
He glanced at the remaining dozen monks and nodded: "You are fully qualified to be an intermediate alchemist. Of course, some people may have a higher level, but senior alchemists and above need to be assessed internally by the Alchemist Guild before a certificate can be issued.
"
"So after this conference, you can log in to the official website of the Alchemist Guild and fill in the information. After we verify it, the Intermediate Alchemist Certificate of the Yedu Branch of the Alchemist Guild will be issued to you."
"The final results of the conference will be judged by the City Lord's Mansion, including the rewards for the top three. Is everyone clear?"
Everyone nodded to express their understanding, but Xiao Kaitian secretly had doubts. The alchemy conference was supposed to be led by the Alchemist Guild, but now it was made as if it was specially held by the city lord's palace. There was something wrong with it.
But after Elder Changxu finished speaking, he discussed a few words with the other elders and concluded that their task had been completed. After reporting the results of the second round of review, they left on their own.
Not long after the group of people exited, a man in white robes quickly came over from the altar and stopped in front of everyone. He stepped forward and saluted: "The deacon in the Lord's Mansion in the lower city has a nickname that is not worth mentioning. Take it.
The next competition, which is the finals, will be hosted by me."
"As the elder said just now, the entire finals is closed. Everyone, when we get to the altar, there are more than a dozen secret rooms. You can choose one at will, without any difference."
"The rules of this round are very simple. Everyone can refine the elixirs they are good at at will. The city lord's palace will use the elixirs finally submitted as the criterion. This is how the top three results are determined."
"There is an hourglass in the secret room for timing. It will start automatically as soon as you enter. Everyone's time is the same. In short, it is completely fair to everyone. As for the medicine cabinet, in front of that wall, most of the
There are all kinds of herbs. If you need special herbs, you have to tell me privately and I will arrange them."
After finishing speaking, everyone was in an uproar, and some couldn't help but asked: "You can refine any elixir, and can you guarantee that you will have the herbs I want?"
For things like refining elixirs, the herbs required for higher-level elixirs are also more precious. Since it is a competition, naturally everyone brings out their special skills. Who would not want to get the most precious herbs for refining.
"Yes, I can't say 100%, but I think our City Lord's Mansion can provide most of them. Just let everyone use it. Of course, each person can only apply for three times."
Even so, the conditions are very generous. Just thinking about being able to apply for precious medicinal herbs three times makes everyone excited.
"What if the refining fails?" Someone asked aloud. They wouldn't ask for compensation.
"If you fail, you are disqualified, that's all." The young man in white robe replied with a smile, as if he was not interested in the treasures of heaven and earth at all.
Xiao Kaitian was also moved. It seems that this finals is the real big deal. What is the reason for the city lord's mansion to invest such resources in alchemy at any cost?
"If everything is clear, let's start the competition. Don't keep the city lord waiting." The young man in white robe raised his right hand and gave way to the passage.
This group of monks immediately stood up. Not to mention anything else, just being able to use medicinal herbs at will and even cherishing medicinal herbs is a rare thing for alchemists. Who is not willing to try refining the previous ones?
A pill that I couldn't even imagine.
Xiao Kaitian was not in a hurry. He walked slowly towards the altar. The fast monk over there had already found his secret room. Sure enough, after entering, he could no longer detect any breath.
There seems to be a spiritual shielding formation here, but it has no effect on Xiao Kaitian's divine source. However, it is impossible for his divine source to enter the secret room.
Interestingly, it seems that there may be a big layout behind this alchemy conference. Xiao Kaitian opened a secret room, which was about ten square meters, enough for alchemy.
He closed the door and thought carefully about everything that had happened since he came to Yedu Realm Ruins. In the dark, including this alchemy conference, there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling everything.
First of all, the entire Yedu Realm is ruled by Taoist religious thought. The following organizations are all large and small Taoist sects. The monks use this as a unit to live a harmonious family life that formally shares the T value.
However, upon careful and in-depth analysis, you can see that this is not entirely fair. The Taoist organization is more like a pyramid scheme. The higher the people, the more T-values are allocated and extracted.
In addition, every time the T-values are evenly distributed, a hypnotic magic sound is sounded during some kind of fasting ceremony. According to Xiao Kaitian's speculation, at this time, in addition to the equal distribution of all T-values, some of them are secretly extracted.
Gone.
In other words, the entire Yedu Realm Ruins monks are actually like a group of livestock being raised, and their T value is being squeezed invisibly.
The head elders of the Taoist temple are the executors of this system, and at the same time control all outsiders in disguised form through the injection of psychedelic drugs.
It can be considered that this is a well-planned big scam to structure society. Xiao Kaitian does not believe that the city lord's palace would not know about this.
Therefore, all indicators indicate that the designer of all this must be the supreme ruler of the city, that is, the City Lord.
But what is the purpose of gathering so many people together to extract T-values through collective hypnosis?
If Xiao Kaitian didn't understand it before, now he vaguely understands it.
Like now, it is very terrifying for such a rich man to hold an alchemy conference willfully and consume the treasures of heaven, materials and earth at will. It is absolutely impossible for these treasures of heaven, materials and earth to be so complete just by Yedu's own digging and discovery.
The only remaining method is trading, and trading is impossible without sufficient T value.
Xiao Kaitian couldn't help but light up a cigarette and smoke. The difficulty of handling the matter this time was many times more difficult than that of Liu Meng, the brave and foolhardy Yanmen Realm Ruins.
He was facing the power of the monks in the entire city. If these hypnotized people went crazy, there was no telling what they would do.
The only relatively mild solution is to reach some kind of agreement with the city lord, but reaching this agreement is not an easy thing.
Xiao Kaitian blew out the smoke, squinted his eyes, and landed on the alchemy furnace on the ground. There was only one way for him and his team to escape unscathed.
The elixir that the city lord wanted was refined, but what would this elixir be?
