Daxia City

“I know, you still don’t understand me. If I really can’t win, I’ll be the first to run,” Qin Ming said with a smile.

“That’s good.” Jue Wuya nodded, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go out and prepare.”

“Mm.”

… …

Time flew by, and soon it was the eve of the competition.

Inside Qin Ming’s cultivation room, Qing Yan, Jue Wuya, and Qin Ming gathered, preparing to depart.

“Qin Ming, I’m ready. This time, I’ll definitely show that beast what alchemy is,” Qing Yan said, his face filled with rage, gritting his teeth.

“Alright, Elder Qing, no need to be so angry. This time, he’s dead for sure,” Jue Wuya said with a smile. Qin Ming’s alchemy skills were unmatched in the world, and he didn’t believe the Pill Alliance could win.

“You’ll be competing in the first round. This time, the Pill Alliance must have made full preparations, so you must be careful. I’m afraid they might play dirty.”

Qing Yan nodded seriously: “Qin Ming has already told me the intelligence about the Pill Alliance. I’ve made all the necessary preparations.”

Qin Ming smiled and said, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Winning or losing doesn’t matter.”

After all, it was a best-of-three, so even if his master lost, he felt no pressure.

“It’s getting late, let’s set off,” Jue Wuya urged. He had never witnessed such a competition before and was somewhat curious.

“Let’s go.” With a wave of his hand, everyone left the secret realm, where demonic beasts were already waiting for them.

Riding the Cloud-Chasing Dragon, they flew towards Daxia City, the capital of the Daxia Dynasty.

Daxia City was the center of the entire Daxia Dynasty, the most bustling city, and also the city with the highest average martial artist level.

And when many martial artists heard that the Pill Alliance and the Feather Transformation Sect were having an alchemy duel, many martial artists came from far away.

Because of this competition, Daxia City was even more lively than usual.

And today was the day of the competition. The area around the martial arts arena in the center of Daxia City was already packed with people early in the morning.

“Why aren’t they here yet? It’s already dawn. Didn’t they say the alchemy competition starts today?” a martial artist complained. He had been waiting here for two days, afraid of not getting a good spot.

“It’s just dawn. What are you rushing for? Didn’t you see that even the judges haven’t arrived?” someone next to him said.

The atmosphere began to liven up even before the competition started. For ordinary martial artists, besides seeing exciting duels today, they could also see representatives from many top families on the continent, and they were all looking forward to it.

“Do you know? The judges this time are very important figures. Almost all the top forces of the Daxia Dynasty have been invited.”

“I know, I know. This news has already spread. Look at those seats in front; they are reserved for the judges.”

“So, what about the other seats? There are quite a few chairs over there too.”

“Those are prepared for the major forces, such as the several great families of Rock City, and the royal family…”

“They’re here, they’re here! People are starting to enter!” someone shouted.

Suddenly, the crowd automatically parted, forming a path. Several martial artists, dressed in luxurious clothes and holding long swords, walked towards the chairs.

“Those are people from the Righteous Sect. The Righteous Sect is the number one righteous sect. They’ve come too?”

“What number one righteous sect? Isn’t the number one righteous sect the Righteous Heart Sect?”

“Stop arguing, the people from the Righteous Heart Sect have also arrived.”

Following behind the Righteous Sect were also several martial artists holding long swords, their heads held high.

With their arrival, more and more forces began to appear.

“That’s the Jin Family of Rock City, and the Yang Family of Rock City, the You Family of Rock City… Oh my god, all five great families of Rock City have come.”
