Chapter 4045: Twelve-Level Dan King Tower

It was Zhuge Qingyang who spoke, and as the person in charge of this competition, he began to announce the rules of the competition one by one.

Although the Dan Wang Competition is well-known throughout the Upper Heaven Domain, it is held only once every hundred years, so the relevant rules must be re-publicized to everyone.

"Now, this old man will announce the rewards for the Dan Wang Competition. Those who can Rank among the top fifty will all be eligible to enter the Immortal Paradise.

The strongest competitor who achieves the top spot will not only receive the title of Dan Wang, but also fifteen immortal spirit grasses rewarded by the Five Great Sects…"

Ye Bufan was originally not very interested in the rules and felt drowsy, but upon hearing the rewards, his eyes immediately lit up.

To encourage the participating Immortal Pill Masters, Zhuge Qingyang did not stop there but read out the rewards one by one.

"Xingyao Sect awards three Bilo Moss, Lingxiao Sect awards three Earth Dragon Vines, Huanjian Sect awards three Cloud Mist Ganoderma, Qin Jian Mountain Manor awards three Red Light Grasses, and Tiansheng Sect awards three condensing spirit fruits."

As soon as his voice fell, the originally silent venue instantly erupted into a clamor.

All those who came to participate were Immortal Pill Masters, and what they valued most were immortal spirit grasses. The items brought out by the Five Great Sects were all top-grade items among the twelfth Rank, which could be called priceless treasures.

Even Mu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard the last part. He had originally obtained three condensing spirit fruits, which could allow his Mental Energy to increase by three Ranks.

However, he had only consumed one, and the remaining two were extorted by Ye Bufan.

Now, three more were being offered, and the other four types of immortal spirit grass were also top-grade. He could not miss such a good opportunity.

Ye Bufan was even more excited, "These Five Great Sects are really generous!"

Xia Qingying said, "This is quite normal. After all, this represents the face of the Five Great Sects. If the items they offer are too shabby, they will be ridiculed.

The key is that these items are not wasted. Each of their Sects nurtures extremely outstanding Immortal Pill Masters.

If they can win the position of Dan Wang, it means they will get back the treasures they put out, multiplied.

If another Dan Wang takes it, it can also be seen as expressing their goodwill, making it convenient to ask for help with Alchemy in the future."

Ye Bufan nodded. In his eyes, these immortal spirit grasses were already his.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. The competition officially begins now. The first round is medicinal plant identification. Please bring out the Twelfth-Rank Pill King Tower!"

After speaking, he cast a spell, and a rumbling sound came from the open space in the center of the square. Immediately after, a giant tower emerged from the ground, appearing before everyone.

Although it was called a tower, it was not quite the same as a traditional tower. While it had the shape of a tower, it was not enclosed, and each floor was completely open to the outside.

It was conical in shape, narrowing towards the top, with a total of twelve floors.

The entire tower exuded a strong sense of antiquity, clearly an ancient treasure.

Xia Qingying's expression was calm; she had participated in the Dan Wang Competition before and was not unfamiliar with this tower.

Ye Bufan, on the other hand, felt very new. This was his first time participating in the Dan Wang Competition, and he did not understand the rules and format of the competition.

After the Twelfth-Rank Pill King Tower was completely stable, Zhuge Qingyang shouted loudly, "Alright, all participating Immortal Pill Masters, enter the tower with your tokens."

As soon as his voice fell, the Immortal Pill Masters who had been waiting on the side immediately entered the tower and took their seats on the first floor.

Chu Jiuyu, who was on the management platform, also leaped down and, like ordinary Immortal Pill Masters, chose an ordinary seat and sat down.

Ye Bufan followed beside Xia Qingying, imitating her, and after entering the first floor, he embedded his token into the indentation in front of him.

Then the Formation was activated, and a light screen the size of a computer screen appeared before his eyes, but it was empty, with no images.

"This Formation is really exquisitely made."

Ye Bufan carefully examined it and found that the Formation was completely embedded within the Pill King Tower, with extremely clever craftsmanship.

He looked at the others beside him, and it was the same; a light screen appeared in front of each of them.

This gave him a strange feeling, as if he had returned to Earth and was taking an exam again using a computer screen.

The bottom floor of this tower was large enough; over a thousand Immortal Pill Masters entered, but it was still spacious and more than enough.

When these Immortal Pill Masters were seated, someone immediately came forward and handed each person a blank Jade Slip.

Then Zhuge Qingyang's voice once again resounded throughout the venue: "The first assessment is to identify immortal spirit grass. You will be given ten breaths of time to identify one hundred types of medicinal plants and engrave the names you remember onto the Jade Slip.

At that time, only the top one hundred will remain; all others will be eliminated…"

After the rules were announced, Ye Bufan finally understood why the registration requirements were set so high, with a minimum of Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master.

Under such assessment conditions, a too-low Rank would be completely useless and would lead to elimination in the first round.

"Everyone, get ready! Three, two, one, begin!"

At Zhuge Qingyang's command, he cast a spell, and a medicinal plant immediately appeared on the originally blank screen.

It must be said that this image Formation was extremely clear; the roots and stems of the medicinal plant could be seen clearly, but some people sighed.

Clearly, these were not ordinary medicinal plants; some people had never seen them before.

And before these people could react, a flash of light appeared before their eyes, the image of the first medicinal plant disappeared, and the second one appeared.

Xia Qingying's expression was serious. While identifying the medicinal plant, she carefully engraved the results onto the Jade Slip.

For Ye Bufan, this round had no difficulty at all. The two Legacies of the Ancient Medical Sect made identifying these immortal spirit grasses as easy as turning over his hand.

Moreover, his goal was the position of Dan Wang, so naturally, he held nothing back and engraved all the correct results onto the Jade Slip.

Time passed quickly. After about a dozen breaths, all one hundred types of medicinal plants had been displayed.

The light screen disappeared, and a ball of light appeared in its previous position, which was the assessment Formation.

Ye Bufan was once again shocked by the ingenious design of the Twelfth-Rank Pill King Tower, and then he placed the Jade Slip in his hand into the Formation.

The others did the same, sending their engraved results into the assessment Formation.

A few people hesitated, perhaps because they had not recognized many medicinal plants and wanted to think a bit longer.

However, before they could react, they were enveloped in a white light and directly thrown out of the Pill King Tower.

Ye Bufan looked at the flashing Formation before him, wondering how long it would take to get the results.

But then an Immortal Pill Master beside him flew out, followed by a second, a third…

In the blink of an eye, out of the more than a thousand participating Immortal Pill Masters, only a hundred remained; all others were eliminated.

Then another light screen appeared at the top of the tower, and the list of one hundred people appeared on it in order.

"Last Dan Wang Chu Jiuyu identified one hundred types, Bao Dan Sect's Ye Bufan identified one hundred types, Loose Cultivator Mu Ji identified one hundred types…"

It must be said that the Immortal Pill Masters participating in the Dan Wang Competition were indeed talented. More than a dozen people had completely identified all one hundred types of immortal spirit grass, including Hua Qiqi and Xie Hongying from the Alchemist Guild. The remaining ninety-nine types, ninety-eight types, and so on, decreased sequentially, with the hundredth place being ninety-five types.
