Chapter 1506: Isn’t This Neglecting One’s Proper Occupation?
"Greetings, esteemed audience! We are here at the grand stage of the Skyland Continent’s Pill King Championship. Today, we commence the first phase of this competition—the pre-selection stage."
"The pre-selection stage entails a set of dozens of questions. Alchemists participating in the event will be assigned one question at random per group. Successfully completing it means passing the pre-selection stage and officially becoming a contestant in the Pill King Championship."
"The pre-selection stage is an elimination round. Each person has only one shot at it, so take it seriously."
On the massive platform, the host of the Pill King Championship amplified his voice with a sound-enhancing technique, delivering an impassioned explanation.
Around the enormous arena, tens of thousands of spectators had packed in. These were cultivators who traveled from various parts of the continent.
Although the event was held in the Imperial City, it was obvious that ordinary people couldn’t partake in cultivator-exclusive activities.
Ordinary people and cultivators hailed from two entirely separate worlds.
The arena was filled with alchemy furnaces, all uniformly designed. These alchemy furnaces were evidently mass-produced, of decent quality, though far from exceptional.
In assessments and competitions, fairness is paramount.
With the same ingredients and the same alchemy furnace, if someone else can succeed and you cannot, it only proves they are better than you.
Each group consisted of one hundred alchemists. A hundred people would enter the arena simultaneously, each standing before an alchemy furnace. The referee supervisor would then draw a question in public, after which the staff would distribute materials corresponding to the task to each participant. At that point, the timer would start.
