Chapter 542 - 542 542 Coiled Dragon Cauldron Fourth Update

542: Chapter 542: Coiled Dragon Cauldron (Fourth Update) 542: Chapter 542: Coiled Dragon Cauldron (Fourth Update) At the entrance, Elder Qiu was in charge of verifying the competition tokens and checking identities.

After Long Yan and Mo Qianling handed their competition tokens to Elder Qiu, they headed towards their respective stone platforms.

“Isn’t this too conspicuous?”

The location of Long Yan was in the front row, with an operating stone platform next to him.

The corresponding contestant had not yet arrived.

Mo Qianling was in the second row, diagonally behind him.

“Look, that’s Long Yan!”

The arrival of Long Yan and Mo Qianling immediately attracted many people’s attention.

Especially Long Yan, he was now an important figure.

After the word got out that he had discovered the presence of Magnetic Silver Star Sand from a whiff of the essence of the pill, some people had already listed him as the dark horse of the Seven Star Pill Meeting, even hoping he could become the Seven Star Pill Leader.

“Long Yan, I will definitely kill you!”

In the crowd, Zhao Hongtian’s eyes carried a murderous intent.

If it were not for Long Yan, he would not have been expelled from the Alchemist Guild, and he would not have lost the qualifications to participate in the Seven Star Pill Meeting.

He was once considered as a potential Child of Seven Stars and could have received priority nurturing from the Alchemist Guild.

Now, everything has gone down the drain.

All thanks to Long Yan, he harbored a deep hatred for him.

“Look, Dan Chenzi is here.”

At this moment, someone shouted, which drew everyone’s gaze towards a white-clothed youth.

Long Yan’s gaze also fell on the white-clothed youth, who was walking towards him.

The white-clothed youth was around twenty-one or twenty-two.

He was tall and straight with a spotless white robe.

His face carried an air of scholarly elegance, giving off the impression of a cultured scholar.

“Martial God Ninth Level.”

Dan Chenzi was a cultivator at the Martial God Ninth Level.

“If you can defeat him, the Seven Star Pill Leader position is yours.”

Mo Qianling whispered to Long Yan.

It was evident that she admired Dan Chenzi very much.

Long Yan just smiled.

In terms of refining pills, no one could threaten him yet.

Within moments, Dan Chenzi reached the operating stone platform next to Long Yan and nodded at him as a greeting.

Long Yan also nodded slightly to Dan Chenzi as a simple greeting.

However, he felt a bit speechless inside.

Arranging him and Dan Chenzi at the forefront seemed to make it clear that he was supposed to compete with Dan Chenzi.

It was unknown who had made such an arrangement.

“Ding”, “ding”…

At this moment, seven successive bell tones rang out, lingering in the air for a while.

At the same time, more than a dozen figures arrived, walking on the void and landed steadily in the square.

The man in the lead was clad in a red pill robe.

It was Elder Yao.

The others were in grey pill robes.

They were the grey-robed elders of the Alchemist Guild.

The Alchemist Guild had three levels of elders, namely black-robed, grey-robed, and red-robed.

These represented their status.

The grey-robed elders were at the level of Pill Emperors in alchemy.

“Look, it’s Elder Yao, he actually came in person.”

Seeing Elder Yao personally presiding over the Seven Star Pill Meeting, everyone was surprised.

This had never happened before.

“It seems that this Seven Star Pill Meeting is not simple.”

The personal support of Elder Yao was definitely not ordinary.

Elder Yao took his seat at the head of the platform.

His gaze swept over the thousand alchemists and finally rested on Long Yan.

“Let’s begin.”

Elder Yao spoke indifferently.

The grey-robed elders understood.

A middle-aged man stepped forward, pressed both hands towards the void, then spoke loudly, “The Seven Star Pill Meeting is held once every twenty years, and it is a major event for the Alchemist Guild…”

Next, the middle-aged man delivered a long speech that lasted half a day, making Long Yan’s ears calloused from the length of his speech.

The rules of the Seven Star Pill Meeting were simple.

Within a given period, the elixir with a higher grade refined by anyone would result in a higher ranking.

If the grade of the elixir was the same, the one with higher quality would be ranked higher.

If the quality was the same too, then the time taken to refine the pill would be considered.

As for the rewards of the Pill Meeting, the Pill Leader’s reward was indeed the same as what Mo Qianling had mentioned.

Then, the dozen or so grey-robed elders began to distribute medicinal materials.

There was only one portion of medicinal materials.

If the refining failed, they would be eliminated.

“What elixir are you refining?”

A grey-robed elder walked up to Long Yan and Dan Chenzi, first asking Dan Chenzi.

“Three-turn Golden Pills.”

Replied Dan Chenzi.

The grey-robed elder was taken aback, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and immediately handed over the medicinal materials for refining the Three-turn Golden Pills to Dan Chenzi.

“What about you?”

The grey-robed elder’s gaze shifted to Long Yan.

“I will also refine Three-turn Golden Pills.”

Long Yan smiled.

Since Dan Chenzi was refininig Three-turn Golden Pills, he decided to refine Three-turn Golden Pills as well.

“You only have one chance, have you thought it through?”

The grey-robed elder reminded him.

Three-turn Golden Pills are royal-grade early-stage elixirs and are somewhat more difficult to refine than ordinary royal-grade early-stage elixirs.

If Long Yan could only refine late-stage seventh-grade elixirs, he could still become the Child of Seven Stars by refining a seventh-grade elixir, but if he forcibly refined Three-turn Golden Pills and failed, he would be eliminated and lose the chance to become the Child of Seven Stars.

“I’ve thought it through.”

Long Yan nodded.

The grey-robed elder sighed inwardly and handed over the medicinal materials for refining the Three-turn Golden Pills to Long Yan.

“Are you confident in refining Three-turn Golden Pills?”

Dan Chenzi looked at Long Yan, quite astonished.

His choice to refine the Three-turn Golden Pills was also a challenge to himself and he didn’t have much confidence.

From Long Yan’s demeanor, it seemed like he was full of confidence.

“I don’t know, the highest I’ve refined was a seventh-grade early-stage elixir.”

Long Yan replied.

He usually let the Nine Suns Divine Cauldron mass-produce and seldom refined pills himself.

Indeed, the highest pill he had personally refined was a seventh-grade early-stage elixir.

“…”

Hearing this, Dan Chenzi’s forehead was marked with a line of frustration, and his gaze became somewhat strange.

After a while, thousands of alchemists had received their medicinal materials.

Long Yan secretly observed for a while.

On the scene, only he and Dan Chenzi were prepared to refine emperor grade dan medicine.

Among the others, there were not many choosing to refine seventh-grade Dan medicine, the majority chose to refine honorable-grade elixirs.

Mo Qianling requested materials for a Soul Cleansing Pill, a high-grade honorable elixir.

“The timing begins now.

You only have four hours.”

At this moment, the grey-robed middle-aged man announced aloud.

As soon as the middle-aged man finished his sentence, all alchemists sprung into action, pulling out their pill cauldrons.

all of them Daoist Tools.

At this moment, Dan Chenzi also took out his pill cauldron.

It was a four-footed large cauldron about half a person high, dark gold in color, with some beast shapes carved on it.

“Look quickly, that’s a Coiled Dragon Cauldron.”

Many people recognized Dan Chenzi’s pill cauldron.

The Coiled Dragon Cauldron was a seventh-grade Dao artifact.

Such a pill cauldron was rare.

“Cold Jade Cauldron, Miss Mo’s pill cauldron is also extraordinary.”

Mo Qianling also took out her pill cauldron, it was a white jade pill cauldron, a six-grade Dao artifact, also causing quite a stir.

“I wonder what kind of pill cauldron Long Yan has?”

At this time, everyone was looking forward to what kind of pill cauldron Long Yan would bring out.

Dan Chenzi and Mo Qianling also turned their gazes on Long Yan, even Elder Yao was curious.

For an alchemist, a good pill cauldron is extremely important.
