Chapter 2292 A New High

3 days later, the highest point anyone had earned was 6820 points. The person who had done it was the disciple of one of the Ten Alchemy stars, but one that still lived in the Medicine World. The person had come from the Eternal Isles, and the alchemist on the stage was a sea beast turned into a human who had been trained by him.

For the first time ever in front of an audience, anyone had made pills in 3 different cauldrons at once. That was how the man had ended up with so many points.

Alex hadn't seen the person before he had left the room, so he wasn't sure what his cultivation base was. He wondered if it was low and he had chosen weaker pills to make that gave him fewer points. Or had he not chosen to make all 10 pills at once instead as he had planned on doing?

The next 50 contestants were brought up and Alex saw a familiar face flicker across the screens. Killersky had made her way onto the stage and her name popped up on the screen.

Killersky. Master - None. Spring Water World.

'No master?' Alex thought in surprise. He had at least expected her to have a master after what she had said to others about going back to their master once they were done making pills.

Alex watched carefully on screen to see what she would do.

The competition started not long after and they all began making pills. Focusing on Killersky, Alex saw her pull out 3 cauldrons and then began making pills. It was hard to tell how many pills she was going to make at once, but Alex had a feeling she was going to make all 10 pills at once. If nothing, her cultivation base was strong enough for her to do that. She was, after all, in the late Immortal Transcended realm which was more than enough to make any pills.

Half an hour passed swiftly, and Alex noticed Killersky making 3 batches of pills, so 9 different types of pills in total. Unless she was strong enough to make multiple pills within the same cauldron while focusing on the other cauldrons, she would have only made a single pill.

"Now I'm starting to get nervous for my own turn," Thousandleaf added.

Alex was more excited for his turn still but he had to wait 12 more days for it. He quietly sat in his place, watching the screen. He cultivated when he could, constantly planning on the pills he was going to have to make.

He counted each point he could get if he did everything right, and continued adding more and more challenges to himself. At this point, he was certain that all the pills he was going to make, were going to be above 15 points in worth.

As for how much? That was something he needed more time to think about.

The days passed by slowly, the competition raging up. The highest anyone got in the latter days was in the 5000s, and it began seeming as though not a single soul could touch Killersky's score which was over 2000 points higher than the second place.

On the 13th day, Alex and Aethersage made their way to a staff member to decide on the pills they were going to make. They mentioned their pills separately and returned to their place.

Because Alex and Aethersage had been standing right next to each other when the first competition started, their participant number was just 1 apart.

Unless they were super unlucky, they would most likely be taking part in the same batch. The 15th day rolled around and a headcount was made of the people numbered in the 15,000s. There were a total of 923 people within them, so it would be 18 different 50 people match, and a last match with just 23 people.

And as luck was on their side, Alex and Aethersage were in the same batch.

"After this is over," Alex said, "let us meet at the eastern gate. We will go to the Pillheaven Continent afterward so you can get your lotus."

"Okay," Aethersage said. "Then we will head over to Trueflame continent together afterward."
