Chapter 468: Elimination begins

The alchemy contest was held in the square of Changsheng County, which was still some distance away from Linshui Medicine Society. After walking for about half an hour, Yang Chen rushed to the outside of the square. In the eyes, there are crowds of people, crowded with people, and when you look at the past, they are all heads.
Fortunately, the channel for the competition and the audience channel were separate, so Yang Chen didn't have to line up such a long line. In just ten minutes, he arrived at the entrance of the square.
"Stop, who?"
A demon clan soldier stopped Yang Chen and asked condescendingly.
"I'm here to participate in the competition."
Yang Chen laughed, then took out the certificate that President Su had prepared for him in advance, and sent it to the soldiers: "Next is the alchemist of Linshui Medicine Society."
"Lin Shui Medicine Club?" The soldier frowned, looked at the certificate left and right, then glanced at Yang Chen, and said: "Since you are a participating alchemist, then you can go in. There will be a special alchemy inside. The teacher checks."
After speaking, the soldier returned the proof to Yang Chen.
"Thank you." Yang Chen said, without stopping, he walked directly inside.
After passing through the passage, the line of sight became much clearer for an instant.
Behind the passage, I saw a large secret room in which a dozen alchemists stood, talking about something. And in front of this group of alchemists, there were two old men with gray hair, both dressed as alchemists.
Both of them were pierced with a totem of a medicine pill on the front of their clothes.
These two people should be what the soldiers said, professional alchemists.
The number of golden leaves on the clothes of the two also reached six.
Sixth Grade Alchemist!
"Unexpectedly, it was just a game that would have dispatched two sixth-rank alchemists, and they were only used as the outermost guards? The people in the Medicine Society of this day are really big-handed." Yang Chen murmured, thinking. Already walked into the team.
He turned his head, looked at a person beside him, and smiled: "This brother, can I ask you something?"
This person was a fourth-rank alchemist with a arrogant expression on his face. He heard Yang Chen's words, but he remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard at all.
Yang Chen was silent for a moment, and couldn't help raising the volume: "This Xiongtai, can I ask you something?"
The man remained unmoved, and didn't even lift his eyelids.
Yang Chen simply directly said the question in his mind: "Excuse me, Xiongtai, what is the test this time? What kind of alchemist is qualified to participate in the competition?"
Hearing this, the man closed his eyes directly.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
Regardless of Yang Chen.
Seeing this scene, even Yang Chen felt a little embarrassed. Although he had known that the alchemist had no one, he didn't expect that this person really performed the alchemist's arrogance to the extreme...
How to say, I am also an alchemist, right?
Don't give me the face of the line?
Just as Yang Chen was thinking about prying out a little useful information from other people's mouths, he just listened to the old man in the front suddenly saying something loudly: "The hundred people are full, close the door!"
Card boom!
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the secret room was suddenly closed.
Many people were shocked.
After the secret room was closed, the room also went dark, and immediately after hearing only a few "puff puffs", a few dim lights suddenly lit up on the walls of the room.
In front of everyone, a bronze cauldron appeared at some point.
The tripod in front of everyone is the same height, width, and size, and even the patterns are exactly the same.
However, these tripods are not particularly valuable tripods, but are extremely ordinary.
"Everyone, what we are going to do next is your first knockout match today!" Just listen to an old man on the right with a faint smile: "As you all know, the alchemy competition is extremely grand, and there are quite a few people participating every year. , But too many have disadvantages, that is, it is not conducive to selecting talents!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads.
"So, in order to reduce those poor alchemists, our Heavenly Medicine will set up this elimination match!" The old man said slowly: "Any alchemists with a rank lower than Grade 4 must leave!"
Wow!
As soon as this word came out, everyone was boiling instantly.
Alchemists of rank 4 will be eliminated?
Even in the entire Canglan Continent, the fourth-rank alchemist can be considered enough, right? But... the old man said that the fourth grade alchemist can't even participate in the competition?
"Old man, are you too demanding?"
"Yes, four-rank alchemists are not allowed to participate, so few of you can participate in this competition?"
"That's it!"
Everyone said one after another.
"Quiet!" The old man's eyes were full of brilliance, and he snorted coldly, a vigorous momentum filled his body, and the secret room was humming. Seeing this scene, everyone took a breath and felt their heart beat by mistake.
"Strong Wuzong Realm?"
Yang Chen frowned, feeling a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, these two old guys are not only Grade 4 alchemists, but also Wuzong realm powerhouses?
"Why, do you have any comments on what the old man said?" The old man snorted coldly.
Hearing this, everyone immediately bowed their heads, especially the few alchemists who had just spoken.
The old man sighed, and said lightly: "If you are below the fourth-rank alchemist, or you want to participate in the competition, there is naturally another way. That is to use the cauldron in front of you to refine a fourth-rank alchemy. The medicine comes out!"
As soon as he said this, many people in the crowd were embarrassed.
But a small group of people showed excitement.
Alchemy is not all that can be linked to ranks. Although some people's ranks have not reached the fourth rank, but because of their excellent control ability, or other aspects far beyond ordinary people, they can also refine the fourth rank pill.
"Now, please come out with alchemists above Rank 4!" the old man said.
Seven or eight figures walked out of the crowd.
They were all Alchemists with Grade 4 or higher, and then took out the certificates of their respective Alchemy Branches, and after the elder's confirmation, they walked into the square.
Yang Chen didn't follow, because he didn't want to attract too many people's attention in front of him, so it was just right to enter as an alchemist less than Grade 4. Secondly, it was because... Yang Chen didn't join the alchemy branch at all, so he couldn't prove that he was a fourth-rank alchemist.
"well!"
Seeing the people in front of him, the old man nodded and said: "Next, among you group, if you are sure to make a fourth-grade pill, you can stay! If you are not sure, go out from the side door next time. Come again!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
Many people immediately retreated.
Many people gritted their teeth and stayed, seemingly ready to fight.
When the people were almost gone, there were only five or six people left in the entire secret room.
Yang Chen is naturally one of them.
