“As for the alchemy and elixirs used during this Pill Battle, you will have to prepare them yourselves. Our Beishan Main City will not be responsible for that.” Elder Hu said with an indifferent smile.

Hearing this, many geniuses were somewhat dissatisfied. They were not responsible for the consumption of materials? This Beishan Main City was really stingy.

Yang Chen didn’t think so, however.

Beishan Main City had no obligation to cover the materials consumed by the Alchemists. They were not relatives with them, so why should they bear this burden? If one furnace failed, and the second one still failed, the materials would be wasted. How wronged would Beishan Main City be?

In fact, for Alchemists, if they could reach the corresponding alchemy level, they would definitely be able to take out the materials for elixirs of that level.

Of course, Yang Chen was a complete exception.

The materials for the highest level elixir he refined in his previous life were probably difficult to obtain in the entire Beishan Main City.

Moreover, the competition today might not be without benefits for these geniuses.

The elixirs that were refined still belonged to themselves.

This was the first point.

If any genius could refine a good elixir, they could take advantage of today’s platform to refine and sell it immediately. With the momentum of the Alchemist Knockout Competition, it would be impossible to sell the elixir at a low price.

Relatively speaking, this was still an opportunity for these Alchemy Geniuses to start a fortune.

Elder Hu didn’t care what these geniuses thought and slowly said, “If you can make it into the top three in this Alchemy Knockout Competition, there will be additional rewards from our Beishan Main City. The first place winner in the Pill Battle Assessment will be eligible to select ten materials from our Beishan Main City’s Material Library, whereas the second and third place will be able to select three materials!”

“Rest assured, the materials in the Material Library are all of invaluable value.”

Elder Hu looked at the longing of these geniuses and smiled at the corner of his mouth, “Alright, I’ve said everything I should. Referee, please display the Pill Battle chart.”

The referee heard this, waved his hand, and the next moment, a well-prepared chart magically manifested in the view of the crowd.

Noticing that the chart clearly displayed the names of different genius opponents and their corresponding arenas.

“Wang Cong versus Huang MO, the 3rd arena!”

“Zhao Neng versus Zheng Jianqi, the 7th arena.”

On this chart, different geniuses participated in the fights in different arenas. It was straightforward and easy to understand. Many geniuses had already taken their positions and walked onto the ring.

Yang Chen also saw himself on this chart.

“Yang Chen versus Wen Feiyang, 2nd arena!”

Yang Chen touched his chin, not knowing who Wen Feiyang was, and walked straight out of the crowd.

At that moment, Zhou Yunxi clenched her small fist and said, “Yang Chen, come on! I was supposed to go to Yanhua Pool and meet up with those Senior and Junior Sisters, but I came here today just to cheer you on.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile.

But Zhou Yunxi was just one of them…

Before he even entered the arena, the viewing platform was already filled with noise.

“It’s Yang Chen!”

“Look, the news is correct, Yang Chen has indeed come to participate in the

Alchemy Knockout Competition Assessments.” “Sisters, shout! Cheer for Yang Chen!”

“Yang Chen, come on!”

“Come on!”

The voices from these women were so loud that it was quite intimidating.

Looking up, Yang Chen saw that these girls were none other than the female disciples of Yanhua Pool.

This made Yang Chen cry and laugh secretly. If Zhou Yunxi saw this, she would probably regret not going to the Yanhua Pool because the Yanhua Pool was

cheering as well. Compared to her sitting alone in the Zhou Family, shouting out for Yang Chen, it would be more impressive to be with Yanhua pool. These female disciples from Yanhua Pool were cheering for Yang Chen, naturally because of Yang Chen having saved them. So when they learned that Yang Chen was participating in the Knockout Competition today, a large group of female disciples immediately gathered and came to the Viewing Platform.

As soon as Yang Chen appeared, they cheered, making sure to shout in a way that boosted Yang Chen’s reputation.

“These girls…” The beautiful woman Luoxing from Yanhua Pool laughed and glanced at her disciple MO HuaWu, who was also shouting loudly.

Madam Cao, the Sect Leader of Yanhua Pool, laughed happily, “Our Yanhua Pool disciples are full of vitality. Let them shout, women always have some privileges, who would dare to interfere?”

Indeed, although there were many scornful looks, no one would stop this behavior.

Compared to that, although the other geniuses on the scene did have some fame, it wasn’t as grand as Yang Chen’s.

It couldn’t be helped; there were Yanhua Pool’s female disciples, thousands of them, both eliminated and uneliminated. When these thousands of people gathered and shouted, which Alchemist could compare?

It was this momentum that made Wen Feiyang, Yang Chen’s opponent in the Pill Battle, show hatred in his eyes before the battle even began.

Yang Chen didn’t think much about it and took a casual glance at Wen Feiyang when he stepped onto the ring.

This Wen Feiyang was a 17- or 18-year-old boy, dressed in the Taoist robe of the Huangshan Sect. Before Yang Chen could greet him, he said coldly, “Kid, your popularity seems to be pretty high. I just don’t know if your alchemy level is as high as your popularity!”

Yang Chen just smiled faintly at these words. “Who knows?”

“Hmph, cut the nonsense and start the contest.” Wen Feiyang looked cold.

He didn’t know why Yang Chen’s popularity was so high, but he figured that if he defeated Yang Chen in alchemy, the popularity originally belonging to Yang Chen would immediately gather around him. When he thought of being surrounded by the girls of Yanhua Pool, Wen Feiyang licked his lips.

He wanted to snatch everything Yang Chen had.

However, he didn’t know that the reason why Yang Chen was loved by these girls from Yanhua Pool wasn’t due to his achievements in alchemy.

When it came to fighting, both of them were uncompromising. They each sat down and took out their Pill Furnaces.

Looking at Yang Chen’s Pill Furnace, Wen Feiyang sneered, “So it’s just a low-quality one after all. You dare to bring out such a lousy Pill Furnace and lose face?”

Having said that, Wen Feiyang waved his hand, and a shiny Pill Furnace appeared in his hand.

This Pill Furnace looked precious at first glance, specially used for alchemy with great value.

Comparing Yang Chen’s Purple Elegance Dan Furnace with his, it was naturally inferior, revealing the gap between the two.

This was also a place where the Alchemy Duel had a high degree of freedom.

Because there were no restrictions on the Pill Furnaces used for alchemy.

If your Pill Furnace was inferior, it had nothing to do with the Beishan Main City. Whose fault is it that you don’t have a background?

Compared to Wen Feiyang, who was personally gifted the Pill Furnace by Huangshan Sect, Yang Chen’s ancestral Purple Elegance Dan Furnace immediately looked like a low-quality product..
