“And the beautiful woman beside her is none other than the formidable Golden Body Realm expert Chu Lingxue.”

Among the gathered alchemists, there were naturally those with vast experience and knowledge, who recognized the two women’s identities at just a glance.

“To have a Golden Body Realm expert as a personal bodyguard, the garrison commander must truly dote on his daughter! However, Chu Yuanyao only looks to be sixteen or seventeen, yet she’s already a Third Grade Alchemist. This level of talent is truly terrifying.”

“Pfft, being taken as an apprentice by President Qin Ming is not only because she’s the garrison commander Chu Feng’s precious daughter, it’s also because of her extremely high innate talent for alchemy. It’s said that two years ago, she already reached the Third Grade Alchemist level. She’s probably aiming for the champion reward at this Alchemy Conference.”

Standing among the crowd, Lu Yun chuckled softly after hearing this conversation.

He couldn’t care less about the champion of the Second Grade Alchemist category, but when it came to the Third Grade Alchemist category, there would only be one champion – himself.

As Chu Yuanyao entered the Alchemist Alliance unhindered, the once-crowded flow of people streamed into the entrance like water.

Lu Yun and the others followed the flow of people and gradually entered the Alchemist Alliance. The space around them immediately became more spacious.

“Hahaha, you youngsters should follow the flow of people here and finish your registration. Us two old men will go chat with the other old folks.”

With a slight move of their bodies, Qu Feng and Di Qing disappeared into the crowd.

The main hall of the northern district was the registration site for the alchemists participating in this competition.

To participate in the Alchemy Conference, one must meet two conditions: be under twenty-five years old and be at least a Second Grade Alchemist.

With these two simple criteria, more than ninety percent of alchemists were eliminated from the competition.

Of course, the other alchemists knew this, but it didn’t stop them from watching the once-every-five-years grand event of the Ling Province’s alchemist community.

After completing a simple registration of their identities and enrollment information in the main hall, Lu Yun and the others were led to a vast square.

At this time, many young people had gathered in the square, with the lowest being Second Grade Alchemists.

What slightly surprised Lu Yun was that the number of Third Grade Alchemists was quite high, not much less than the Second Grade Alchemists.

There were almost four hundred Second Grade Alchemists and about two hundred and fifty to sixty Third Grade Alchemists.

His gaze scanned swiftly over the numerous Third Grade Alchemists, each of them appearing high-spirited and full of confidence.

Lu Yun just smiled at their demeanor. He took special notice of Chu Yuanyao, whom he had seen outside the gate earlier, and a few other young alchemists who appeared rather extraordinary.

At his current level, although he couldn’t accurately determine their skill, he could vaguely sense some powerful presences.

Upon the arrival of a new group, most of the alchemists stopped their conversations and briefly glanced at Lu Yun and the others.

When they saw the Third Grade badge on Lu Yun’s chest, their expressions became slightly startled.

Lu Yun currently appeared to be only around fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was already a Third Grade Alchemist. Such talent could only be matched by Qin Ming’s cherished disciple among the whole competition.

Chu Yuanyao, who was seated in a corner but still the center of attention, also glanced at Lu Yun. When she saw the badge with three pill patterns on his chest, her beautiful eyes sparkled thoughtfully.

Lu Yun looked up slightly, only to find that the square was surrounded by rows of gradually rising seats which were filled with thousands of people.

“Heh, Old Qu, is this brat your trump card from Spirit Martial Prefecture?”

On a high platform to the left of the square, several dozen elders were seated. Qu Feng and Di Qing were sitting in a relatively secluded corner, and the voice came from a white-haired, bearded old man not far from them.

Qu Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled softly, “Hehe, not exactly a trump card, but the kid is our prefecture’s future. He’s not even fourteen yet. This year is just to give him some experience, but who knows what will happen in the next five years.”

Di Qing’s aged eyes gleamed with amusement, sensing that his partner was about to pull off a trick.

As expected, upon hearing Qu Feng’s words, the white-haired old man laughed, “The future is full of uncertainties, so why don’t we continue the tradition of our previous meetings?”

Qu Feng immediately shook his head, “No way, Old Qian, you will not get anything from me this time.”

“A small bet for fun, isn’t it? Are you, as the Division President, really so reluctant to part with a single spiritual object?”

The white-haired old man surnamed Qian, named Yu, was the president of White Cloud County’s division. He tried to persuade Qu Feng, “Besides, our division is similar to yours, having only two Third Grade Alchemists and four Second Grade Alchemists. Both sides are evenly matched, so neither will suffer any losses.”

“Hmm… there’s some truth to that, but…”

Seeing Qu Feng begin to waver, Qian Yu quickly glanced at Lu Yun and the others and pressed on, “I see that one of them is your disciple, who also participated in the Alchemy Conference five years ago. At that time, he achieved good results in the Second Grade Alchemist level. It has been five years since then; he must have accumulated considerable experience as a Third Grade Alchemist. This time, even if he cannot contend for the top three, the top ten should be a high possibility..”
