C249 Special invitees

In about a month's time, Ye Xingchen was indeed a little tired. When he returned to the Alchemist Association, he immediately went to rest.

The night passed in silence, and only until the morning of the next day when the sun shone into the room did Ye Xingchen finally wake up.

"Phew, this sleep sure is comfortable." Ye Xingchen stretched his back and said comfortably.

Ye Xingchen quickly got up, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, then walked to Xiao Shi's room, preparing to call Xiao Shi to eat something.

When Ye Xingchen walked to Xiao Shi's room, Xiao Shi woke up. It was just that it didn't want to disturb, so it didn't wake him up.

"Big Brother, you're awake?" Ye Xingchen had just arrived in front of Xiao Shi's door when Xiao Shi sensed his presence. He immediately stood up and opened the door, chuckling as he spoke.

"En, I'm awake. Little Lion, let's go eat something." Ye Xingchen nodded towards the little lion, and said.

Xiao Shi and Ye Xingchen walked out of the Alchemist Association and found a relatively famous inn.

When Xiao Shi and Ye Xingchen entered the inn, the waiter hastily ran over and asked while bowing and kneeling: "Two esteemed customers, this way please?" The waiter led Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi to a seat near the window and asked: "What do you two want to eat?"

"Do whatever you want." Ye Xingchen said indifferently.

"Alright, we'll be ready soon. You two should drink some tea first." The waiter quickly went to prepare the dishes.

Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi sat down together, and after a short while, the waiter brought the food and drinks over. Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi drank wine as they ate.

There were a lot of people in the tavern, as Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi were eating, they suddenly heard a rather curious matter.

In a seat near Ye Xingchen, a group of middle aged men were drinking, and one of them was talking to the others.

"Who do you guys think will take first place in the Alchemist Association's Alchemy Competition this time around?" The big man said with a smile on his face.

"It's said that there will be a few Third Level alchemists participating in this year's Alchemist Grand Meeting. It's really flourishing and there's quite a few Third Level alchemists as well."

"I reckon that there's no suspense for Zhou Yun to obtain first place, after all, Zhou Yun is a pill refiner that the Alchemist Association nurtured with great effort. It's already been a year since he entered the Third Level of an alchemist, it's impossible for others to defeat him."

"That's right, Zhou Yun is truly powerful. I really never thought that our Great Yan City would have such a powerful alchemist."

At this table, everyone was discussing about the Great Yan City pill refining gathering.

Ye Xingchen listened for a while and understood what was going on. The Alchemist Association was holding an annual alchemy gathering for the next few days, and all the alchemists were allowed to attend.

When Ye Xingchen heard it, he smiled slightly and could not help but sigh. It had been a year since he ran away from home.

During this year, many things had happened, Xiao Shi had already transformed into a human, while Xiao Hu had already reached Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage, it was just a matter of time before he transformed into a human.

Most importantly, Ye Xingchen's strength had increased greatly, and he had obtained the inheritance of the Sword Immortal.

"This time's training is also over. With the Creation Space closed, it's time to make a trip home." At this moment, Ye Xingchen decided to go home and take a look.

Just then, the voices of the few big sized men at the side attracted Ye Xingchen's attention.

"Hmph, what is Zhou Yun? Wasn't it just a Third Level alchemist? Have you forgotten? The Ye Xingchen from one month ago, could be considered a true genius. He was also a Third Level pill refiner, but he passed the ninth floor when he broke through the Pill Tower. Even Zhou Danqing did not reach the ninth floor back then. " One of the men shouted.

"Yeah, compared to Ye Xingchen, Zhou Yun is nothing, but Ye Xingchen did not participate in this Pill Refining Conference, and with Ye Xingchen's potential, he does not need to participate in this kind of event that proves his strength."

"That's right, Ye Xingchen was a treasure in the Alchemist Association, and have you heard of it? Yesterday, when's son died in the Creation Space, he vented his anger and tried to kill Ye Xingchen. In the end, the elders of the Alchemist Association stepped in and protected Ye Xingchen."

"Yeah, Hong Dashan is really shameless. He's a dignified Spirit Condensation Stage Martial Cultivator, but he actually took action against a Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage warrior. Luckily, the two assembly leaders came forward, otherwise, Ye Xingchen would probably be dead."

Hearing their discussion, Ye Xingchen's face revealed a smile.

"When did I become so famous?" Ye Xingchen muttered to himself.

Very quickly, Ye Xingchen and Xiao Shi finished their meal and returned to the Alchemist Association.

When the two of them returned to the Alchemist Association, they coincidentally bumped into a deacon elder of the Alchemist Association.

"Ye Xingchen, I've finally found you." When the clan elder saw Ye Xingchen, his face was filled with joy, and he laughed as he spoke.

"I wonder why elder is looking for me?" Ye Xingchen cupped his hands towards the clan elder and asked.

"Ye Xingchen, the two guild leaders are looking for you." The deacon elder whispered, "This afternoon will be the final day of the Alchemy Meeting. The two guild leaders would like to invite you to watch this afternoon's Alchemy Meeting."

Ye Xingchen was startled, he never thought that the two guild leaders would invite him to watch the competition, but after a while, Ye Xingchen felt relieved, it was definitely because his potential had gained the approval of the two conference leaders.

"Elder, don't worry. I will definitely be there on time in the afternoon." Ye Xingchen nodded, and said.

After hearing Ye Xingchen's words, the deacon elder conversed with him for a while and then left.

"I should take a look at the pill forging methods of these young geniuses." Ye Xingchen muttered to himself.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived.

It was now three in the afternoon, and the entire Apothecary Guild's plaza was already packed with people. They were all here to watch this year's grand event.

But this time, there were a total of ten competitors. Amongst these ten competitors, there were six who were Third Level alchemists while the remaining four were Secondary alchemists.

"Look, that's Zhou Yun, the one wearing white clothes. He's so young, he's really amazing."

"This time, there's probably no suspense for Zhou Yun to become the champion. After all, Zhou Yun is someone who is about to become a level 4 alchemist."

"Yes, this year's Alchemy Competition will be more grand than ever because of Zhou Yun."

Many people were discussing Zhou Yun, as he was the hot topic for winning this year's round.

When Ye Xingchen followed the two convention leaders to the plaza, the Contestant and the jury were already gathered.

"The guild leader has arrived. Look, the guild leader has arrived."

"Yeah, the guild leaders of the two guilds. Who is that young man? To actually be together with the guild leader."

"I don't know. Maybe he's someone from the Alchemist Association."

When the two Assembly Masters appeared, the atmosphere became even more heated. However, many of those who had never seen Ye Xingchen before were curious, who exactly was the one walking with the Assembly Masters?

Even Zhou Yun and the rest looked up at Ye Xingchen who was behind the president, revealing doubtful expressions.

After that, the purple clothed president waved at the crowd below him and said in a loud voice, "Today is the day of the finals of the Alchemy Tournament. Thank you all for coming."

"The person beside me is Ye Xingchen, the genius alchemist of our Alchemist Association. He is the special guest for this year's Alchemist Association." The white clothed president introduced Ye Xingchen to everyone.

When everyone found out that the man was Ye Xingchen, they started to discuss amongst themselves.

After all, Ye Xingchen had made it to the ninth floor of the Pill Tower, and was ranked first in the Pill Tablet s.

Everyone never thought that Ye Xingchen would be the special guest for this year's Alchemy Tournament.

The two Assembly Masters introduced Ye Xingchen and then sat on the main platform. As for Ye Xingchen, he sat next to the two Assembly Masters, which showed just how high Ye Xingchen's position was in the Alchemist Association.

Ye Xingchen had a slight smile on his face as he carefully observed the ten finalists.

"Time is up, I believe everyone should know the rules of the competition already. There is a stone platform beside everyone, and on it are the medicinal herbs needed to refine pills. In the finals, we will all refine Grade One Pill s, and we will decide who will be the champion based on the quality and quality of the pill." The deacon elder said in a loud voice.

The reason why they had chosen the Grade One Pill was because everyone was at the same starting point, and the competition was about the quality and quality of the pellets.

"There are only two medicinal herbs on the stone platform. If you use up both and you haven't succeeded, then it can be considered as a failure. Alright, let's start the refinement now." The deacon elder said in a loud voice.

As soon as the deacon elder finished speaking, ten people swished onto the stage and each selected a spot.

As Ye Xingchen saw the practiced movements of these ten people, a smile surfaced on his face. As expected of the Alchemist Association of Great Yan County, it was much stronger than the Alchemist Association of Hun Tian City.

"Ye Xingchen, what do you think about these ten people?" The white-clothed president laughed as he glanced at Ye Xingchen, then asked.

Purple Robed Master also turned his head to look at Ye Xingchen, he also really wanted to hear Ye Xingchen's opinion.

"The ten alchemists this time are all not bad, especially the six Third Level alchemists. They are extremely proficient in their methods, and the man named Zhou Yun amongst them should definitely be number one if nothing unexpected happens." Ye Xingchen said while laughing.

"That's right, this time, it's only Zhou Yun who will be able to make the two of us personally come watch. Although this Zhou Yun does not have as much potential as you, he can still be considered a genius of our Alchemist Association." The Purple Robed Guild Leader revealed a smile and said loudly.

The two assembly leaders' evaluation of Zhou Yun was extremely high, and Ye Xingchen also looked at him in astonishment.

The current Zhou Yun did not notice in the slightest that Ye Xingchen was looking at him.

To Zhou Yun, the Grade One Pill Qi Gathering Pill was simply too simple a task.
