Cao Ying stared at Xiao Ling with a burning gaze, her tone revealing an unquestionable seriousness.

"Let me witness with my own eyes what kind of progress you have made over this period of time."

Xiao Ling smiled lightly, with a glimmer of confidence in his eyes, and he said leisurely,

"Haha, don't worry. My strength will be revealed when the elixir is refined. You two should also work harder. After all, the fight for the second place will not be easy..."

As Xiao Ling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen appeared on the square together, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became boiling.

Xiao Ling has a tall and straight figure and an imposing manner, Cao Ying is charming and attractive with an extraordinary temperament, and Dan Chen is gentle, lovely, fresh and refined.

The three of them standing together like this formed a beautiful landscape, which made the audience present very excited. The cheers continued one after another and could not be calmed for a long time.

The cheers, which were already enthusiastic, now became like boiling water, with waves rolling and rising.

The audience's eyes were fixed on these three stunning young people. Their arrival undoubtedly added countless brilliance to this event.

As people who truly possess the strength of an eighth-grade alchemist, the names of Xiao Ling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen have long been widely known in the Alchemy Conference. They are undoubtedly strong contenders for the championship title of this conference.

The audience all had the same premonition. If nothing unexpected happened, the winner of this Alchemy Conference would most likely be one of these three outstanding young alchemists...

……

On the high platform, next to where Xuan Kongzi had been standing before, two figures suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, they were the other two giants of Danta, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi.

Tian Leizi glanced casually at the square, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone was a little surprised: "Tsk tsk, just now the Great Elder asked me about the whereabouts of his disciple. Now it seems that he was indeed killed by the Soul Palace."

"That young man named Song Qing, although he has good talent, has a narrow mind and is destined to fail in achieving great things. It is said that he blocked some damage for Ying'er at the critical moment, so his life was not in vain." Xuan Yi spoke calmly with indifference.

"Alas, he was our Danta's disciple after all. No matter what, his death is always a pity."

Xuan Kongzi shook his head slightly, his tone revealing a helpless feeling.

"After that, we should give their family some condolences and properly appease the Great Elder to prevent any unpleasant incidents from happening."

"By the way, Xiao Dan Pagoda sent someone to inform us a few days ago that they think highly of Xiao Ling and intend to invite him to join the Xiao Dan Pagoda." Xuan Kongzi gently changed the subject, with a hint of approval in his tone, "If he wins the Dan Conference championship this time, the three of us can discuss it with him in private."

"To be able to make those old guys look at him differently, this young man is quite extraordinary."

Tian Lei Zi raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. He was well aware of Xiao Danta's selection criteria, which were extremely strict. After all, Xiao Lingcai was just a budding alchemy genius, but he had already won so much attention. It was really unbelievable.

"Those pedantic old guys actually assigned the three of us to go out and recruit new people. Can't they just go and invite them in person? They are really a bunch of old stubborn people." Xuan Yi said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Feeling the undisguised anger revealed in Xuanyi's words, Xuankongzi and Tianleizi looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

After all, Yao Chen had declined Xiao Danta's invitation, which led to some rifts in the relationship between the two parties.

Therefore, Xuan Yi naturally had a deep prejudice against the veterans in Xiaodan Tower.

Although both of them knew the cause and effect of the matter, they were reluctant to say more on this issue.

As they pondered this, the figure in the white robe appeared in their minds at the same time.

I don't know if there will be a chance to meet you again in this life...

Chapter 464: Fire

In the center of the square, the fluctuation of the space gate lasted for nearly half an hour, and finally began to slowly weaken.

As time went by, the distorted space fluctuations gradually dissipated like the tide, and the space gate returned to its calm state.

As the space gate closed, the number of contestants in the square increased significantly.

These alchemists from all over the Douqi Continent are all the best in their respective fields, and their goal is to become the supreme champion of the Alchemy Conference.

In order to achieve this goal, they must step on the shoulders of their competitors, climb step by step, and constantly surpass them until they stand at the top that no one can reach and enjoy the glory and splendor of that moment...

As the space gate slowly closed, at that moment, the originally extremely noisy square suddenly became unusually quiet.

It was as if an invisible force suppressed all sounds and made everyone hold their breath.

Everyone knows that the next moment will be the real climax of this alchemy conference. A pinnacle showdown in the alchemy world is about to begin!

……

On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi's eyes slowly swept across the audience. A gentle cough, like a morning bell and evening drum, echoed in the ears of every contestant, attracting everyone's attention to him.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate each of you who can stand here," he said in a steady and powerful voice.

"You have passed the second round of strict screening. But you should also be aware that the next round is the most crucial battle of the Alchemy Competition. Only the strong ones who persevere to the end of this round can win the championship of this Alchemy Competition!"

He paused, pointed to the stone platform suspended in the sky, and continued: "That stone platform is the stage for you to display your talents. There, I hope to see you display the most dazzling light in your life!"

"Glory and achievement will be born among you!"

Xuan Kongzi's voice reached a climax at this moment. His words seemed to have ignited the fuse of gunpowder, instantly detonating the atmosphere of the entire venue.

The grandest event in the world of alchemy finally kicked off at this moment.

The atmosphere on the field was boiling to the extreme, and the desire for victory and the pursuit of glory were shining in every contestant's eyes.

The enthusiasm of the Alchemy Conference completely swept the entire world at this moment.

……

Standing on the square, Xiao Ling looked around. Wherever his eyes went, the boiling atmosphere on the square made him look a little shocked.

Such a grand occasion can only be seen once in the entire continent when the Alchemy Conference is held.

"All contestants, come on stage!" On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi's voice rang out again, piercing through the sky, old but majestic.

"This is the final competition, there are no rules or restrictions, use all your strength to refine your most proud elixir!"

As Xuan Kongzi's words resounded through the sky, the contestants in the square seemed to be ignited with fighting spirit, and the blood in their bodies began to boil.

They exchanged determined looks with each other, and then, a deafening roar was heard. In the square, figures suddenly leaped up like arrows and rushed towards the stone platform in the sky.

At that moment, the overwhelming figures almost blocked out the sunlight, and even the light pouring down from the sky seemed to be temporarily dimmed.

There are many stone platforms in the sky, enough to accommodate the remaining contestants.

Although nearly 90% of the contestants have been eliminated after the first two rounds of screening, the remaining number is still large.

After all contestants are ready, thousands of people will light the alchemy fire at the same time. The spectacular sight will absolutely be breathtaking.

After briefly greeting Cao Ying and Dan Chen beside him, Xiao Ling's figure swayed slightly, and he shuttled into the surging crowd like a swimming fish, flying towards the direction of the stone platforms.

Above the square, shadowy figures flew up one after another and rushed towards the suspended stone platforms.

During the competition, some people even clashed with other contestants who also wanted a better position and then fought with each other.

Xiao Ling's eyes casually swept over the fighting contestants. He didn't really care about their fight.

His goal was clear and firm, which was to locate the most conspicuous, highest and centrally located platform among these high stone platforms.

Xiao Ling had no intention of choosing a remote platform to avoid interference and refine the elixir in peace.

His purpose of participating in this alchemy meeting was to fully demonstrate his strength on this stage without any need for concealment or caution.

As for the possible interruptions, Xiao Ling didn't care at all. If anyone dared to disturb him, Xiao Ling would not be polite and would definitely teach the other person a lesson.

Xiao Ling's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, weaving through the crowd and heading straight for the highest platform.

On the way to the target platform, Xiao Ling noticed that many contestants also set their sights on the most prominent platform.

All of these contestants are full of confidence and each of them believes that they are extremely capable.

The weakest among them is also a Dou Zong-level strongman. Among these contestants, this is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Xiao Ling's eyes casually swept across the alchemist badges on their chests. The shining light on those badges clearly indicated that they had reached the noble status of seventh-grade advanced alchemists.

However, when these contestants noticed that Xiao Ling's eyes were also fixed on the podium, their expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

Facing Xiao Ling, a well-deserved Dou Zun expert, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Among the many contestants, only a few can reach the Dou Zun level, and Xiao Ling's reputation is well-known, and his strength is unquestionable.

They knew in their hearts that competing with Xiao Ling for the same platform was undoubtedly an unwise challenge.

Although their eyes showed reluctance and helplessness, in the end, these self-esteemed alchemists still chose to give in. They silently turned their gazes in other directions, looking for other competition platforms.

Seeing that these contestants had given up one after another, Xiao Ling did not think of continuing to embarrass them. His figure instantly turned into a flash of lightning, and his speed suddenly increased by 30%. He cut through the sky like a falcon, and finally landed steadily on the most eye-catching competition platform.

His figure looked particularly tall and straight in the sunlight, and his robe fluttered in the wind.

As soon as Xiao Ling's feet touched the stone platform, an invisible aura emanated from him. It was the confidence and composure of a strong man, which attracted the attention of all the contestants around him.

Perhaps because of Danta’s special care, the design of this medicine refining stone platform located in the most conspicuous position of the square is far more exquisite than others.

Compared with other stone platforms which are only two or three meters wide, this stone platform appears particularly spacious, covering an astonishing area of ​​more than ten meters.

Its huge scale is not only visually shocking, but also highlights its unique position among all stone platforms, making the contestants who refine pills on it more eye-catching.

Xiao Ling made a move with his hand, and a ray of light flashed, and a Heavenly Demon Puppet jumped out from the ring. This Heavenly Demon Puppet exuded a golden color all over, like a golden god of war standing on the stone platform.

There was a murderous aura emanating from his entire body, and one could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

With the protection of this Heavenly Demon Puppet, Xiao Ling no longer needs to worry about being disturbed by other things when refining medicine, and can devote himself to refining the medicine.

Xiao Ling walked steadily to the center of the magnificent stone platform and slowly sat down cross-legged.

His eyes slowly swept around, finally stopping on Cao Ying and Dan Chen in the distance.

Although these two people both belong to Danta, there is a competitive relationship between them. They keep a distance from each other and occupy one side.

Different from Xiao Ling's ostentatious attitude, they did not choose to fight for the more magnificent and eye-catching central stone platform, but each found a quiet corner on the edge.

In the process of refining the elixir, full concentration is crucial. Therefore, they chose to refine the elixir on a stone platform close to the edge to avoid being disturbed at the critical moment. This choice is undoubtedly the wisest.

Xiao Ling's gaze moved between Cao Ying, Dan Chen and himself. Suddenly, his sight fixed on a floating stone platform not far away.

There, a figure in a black robe was sitting quietly cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was resting quietly.

Although the black-robed figure deliberately kept a low profile, Xiao Ling recognized the man's identity at a glance. It was Xiao Yan.

This discovery made Xiao Ling involuntarily curl up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Although Xiao Yan missed many opportunities, which resulted in his alchemy skills not being as good as those in the original novel, Xiao Ling sensitively sensed that Xiao Yan's soul power had reached the peak of the mortal realm.

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yan carefully, and a wave of emotion rose in his heart. He was not too surprised by Xiao Yan's appearance, after all, he had expected it before.

However, within a few months, Xiao Yan had undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only had his soul power improved, but his cultivation had also reached Dou Zong four stars.

Xiao Yan could have such a significant improvement. It must be that in addition to the Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruit that Xiao Ling had given him before, he must have encountered some unknown opportunities.

"Without the guidance of Yao Chen, the eighth-grade alchemist master, there is no telling to what extent Xiao Yan's alchemy skills have reached now." Xiao Ling stared at the black-robed figure with his eyes closed, thinking secretly in his heart.
