Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

e saw the number of people that were participating.
Since anyone below 50 years could join, every single person that had already entered the True realms was here.

Alex understood that Saint realms were likely allowed here, but there was no Saint realm cultivator below the age of 50 that was also an Alchemist.

Alex looked around and saw a few familiar faces.
Most of them were people he had tested to join the Royal family.

Others were people he saw around the guild while he went there.

”Brother Yu, you came? ” an excited voice spoke from the side as a girl approached him.

”Hi, sister Zhanrou, ” Alex said as he met the orange and green-robed Zhanrou.

”I thought you weren ’t coming, ” she said.

”I changed my mind after seeing the rewards, ” Alex said.

”Right, right, you do like the Yin treasures quite a bit, don ’t you? ” she said.
”Well, I ’m glad you came.
But I ’m afraid the first place is gone now. ”

”Now you ’re just talking nonsense, ” Alex said.

He turned his head to his left and saw Xue Meirong glancing at him however after he turned around, she immediately turned her head and looked away.

”Well, she ’s here too, ” Zhanrou said.
”I promise I will beat her this time around. ”

”Good luck, ” Alex said.

Suddenly, a hand fell on his shoulders and a tall man approached from behind him.

”I ’m surprised to see you here.
I thought you said you weren ’t joining, ” he said.

Alex turned around to see Zhou Ren standing behind him.

”I ’m afraid some things came up and I had to go back on my words, ” Alex said.
”I ’m glad to see you here. ”

”Me too, ” Zhou Ren said.
”I will see you at the competition.
Take care sister Zhanrou. ”

Zhou Ren walked back to a group of disciples who all wore the white robes that belonged to the Zhou family.

”How do you know him? ” Zhanrou asked him quietly.

”There ’s a feud between us, ” Alex said.
”I just can ’t seem to figure out if it ’s a friendly feud or not. ”

”Well, if it ’s with him then it ’s most likely not friendly.
He ’s known to be either a show-off or bully to people he deems below him.
Many people don ’t like him at all, ” Zhanrou said.

”Well, he can ’t bully me since… well, he didn ’t bully me when I was a guest in the Royal family.
I don ’t know how that will change now that I am no longer there, ” Alex said.

”Oh right, that reminds me.
On whose behalf are you taking part in this competition? ” Zhanrou asked him.

Alex was about to answer when he heard some loud but distant-sounding announcements outside.
The competition had getting commenced by the host.

”I ’m on no one ’s behalf, ” Alex said.
”I ’m on my own. ”

”Really? That… that will cause you trouble later, you know? ” Zhanrou said.

”Compared to getting what I want, that will be a piece of cake, ” Alex said.

”You sure have a lot of confi— ”

”Can I have your attention please? ” someone spoke from upfront.

Everyone started quieting down and looked to the front and saw a woman standing before them.

”The first competition is about to start, so we would like you to get ready.
You will be going out in groups of 20 and taking part in the first competition. ”

”I ’m sure everyone was assigned a number, right? That is the group you are in for today.
Everyone in group 1, please come forward, ” the woman said.

20 different Alchemists of all gender and age came forth.

”Please go through here and have your information set up.
We will also check a few other things if you don ’t mind, ” the woman said.

Alex saw the people walk through and formation and talk about something.
Then, they walked outside.

Alex heard shouts of cheers and introductions from the host before the rules were about to be explained.

Just as that time, the sounds cut off and the room was silent again.

The woman smiled at them and said, ”You will not be allowed to hear about anything that happens in the competition today for the sake of fairness. ”

’Well, guess I ’ll have to wait for my turn then, ’ Alex thought.
