Chapter 1307 - 1307: Alchemy Dao Convention

"The Celestial Pill Department's Chief?"

"Jiang Cheng?"

Several Seventh-grade Alchemists from the Land of Dao Extinction sneered.

The Pill Hall Elder of the Purple Nether Palace asked with interest, "Is he an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist?"

Liuyuan proudly nodded, "That's right!"

"Did he also receive the recognition of the Pill Origin?"

"Of course!"

"Ha, your Celestial Pill Department really boasts as if it's true."

Dozens of Alchemists from the Land of Dao Extinction shook their heads and laughed.

A Tower Master from the Taisu Pill Tower impatiently said, "These days, I don't know how many times I've heard you mention that Chief Jiang."

"My ears have grown calluses."

"The problem is, where is he?"

Venerable Zhengxu of the Celestial Pill Department said in a deep voice, "When he entered the Land of Dao Extinction, we got separated, otherwise, this time you would surely be convinced!"

"Ha, the same old excuse again."

Several local Alchemists directly mocked.

"Anyway, he won't show up, isn't it all just made up by you?"

A Protector from the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect leisurely said, "I think this person doesn't even exist, it's just your Celestial Pill Department making up stories to save face."

"Exactly, an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist recognized by the Pill Origin, it's ridiculous that you even dare to say that."

"The Celestial Pill Department resorting to such petty tricks, it's laughable."

Liuyuan and Jin Pi, among others, were angered.

"Chief Jiang indeed exists!"

"It's fine if you don't believe it, after all, such a Divine Being, you have no fate to meet, it's just your lack of fortune."

The masters of the Alchemy Sects from the Land of Dao Extinction laughed again.

"Alright, alright, your Celestial Pill Department has already bragged enough."

"Look at the younger generation from your Celestial Pill Department this time, they aren't performing well either."

An Elder from Huiyuan Hall grinned and pointed to a strange long river not far away.

The river wasn't wide, yet it flowed towards the sky rather than on the ground.

It extended upwards, with a giant golden hall shining at the top.

It seemed as if the river water all flowed into that palace.

And around the river water, which resembled jade liquid, was a veil of mist through which shadowy figures swam, akin to fish climbing against the current.

Following the finger of that Huiyuan Hall Elder, one could see a figure springing out from the water, finally falling onto the shore.

Everyone fixed their eyes and saw it was a young Fifth-Grade Immortal Official from the Celestial Pill Department, who was also a Sixth-grade Emperor Alchemist.

Seeing this, Venerable Jin Pi's eye twitched, as that Immortal Official was under his command.

In this Alchemy Exchange Conference, some were engaged in alchemy, some in discussions, some were sparring, while others, like them, were debating Dao.

The methods varied widely.

And beyond that river was a competition among 'young disciples'.

This was a regular event in every conference.

It was also a simple way for the sects of the Land of Dao Extinction to compete with the Celestial Pill Department.

Since the masters were either Second and Third Grade Immortal Officials or elders and Sect Leaders from their respective sects, they generally cared about their status and face and would not participate directly.

So for such competitions, it was typically the juniors who took part.

The competition rules were simple.

After entering that long river, one would face tests from time to time.

By relying on combat power to overcome the tests in the river, one could continue to stay inside.

If defeated, one would be expelled and lose qualification.

The final winner would be the first to ascend against the current to the golden grand hall.

Although the masters themselves didn't compete, and appeared to be joking, they were actually very concerned about the competition's outcome.

If a disciple of their sect won, it often meant victory in the entire Alchemy Exchange Conference.

Very prestigious.

The recent elimination of the Celestial Pill Department disciple made Venerable Jin Pi's face quite dark.

The elders of the Land of Dao Extinction sects laughed unreservedly.

"Hehehe, Venerable Jin Pi's proud pupil couldn't make it, expelled after just two days."

"He couldn't even swim halfway up."

"Not to mention reaching the Shao Guang Hall, he couldn't even get close."

"Looks like for this exchange conference, we'll have to rely on Venerable Song Li from Huiyuan Hall, his combat power doesn't fall below 3000!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jin Pi couldn't help but sneer.

"You really have the nerve, that Song Li is only a Fifth-Grade Emperor Alchemist, it's just that he studied the Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array, so he scraped together that much combat power, what's there to be proud of?"

The Huiyuan Hall Elder remained indifferent.

"In this Jade River competition, the one with greater combat power has the advantage, it's simply the rules."

"Strength speaks for itself, who can you blame?"

Venerable Zhengxu retorted angrily, "But what we are holding is an Alchemy Exchange Conference, the test should be on alchemy alone, what's the point of other minor paths?"

A Pill Hall Elder from the Purple Nether Palace stroked his beard and said smugly, "How about I send our True Disciple, Venerable Du Feng?"

"He is indeed a true Seventh-grade Emperor Alchemist, currently ranked in the top three!"

Celestial Venerable Liu Yuan sneered, "Du Feng has been a disciple of your Purple Nether Palace for five hundred billion years, yet he's still a True Disciple, you really know how to play."

This Jade River competition has always been a spar between 'young disciples'.

The Immortal Officials sent by the Celestial Pill Department were all alchemy geniuses emerging in the last three billion years.

Meanwhile, Venerable Du Feng, though ostensibly still a disciple, was actually more senior than many of the old-generation elders.

Even though the Purple Nether Palace's move wasn't malicious, it was somewhat underhanded.

"Hmph, Venerable Du Feng doesn't want to be an elder, he likes being a True Disciple, so what? Does that need your permission?"

"Can your Celestial Pill Department not take a loss?"

"Exactly, dissatisfied with this and that. What about our Nine Revolutions Pill Sect's Venerable Luo Yun?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged beautiful woman gazed upwards with pride and satisfaction.

"She's currently ranked first!"

"Moreover, she only emerged a billion years ago as a True Disciple, qualifies as the younger generation, and she is also a Seventh-grade Emperor Alchemist!"

Hearing the name Venerable Luo Yun, both Venerable Jin Pi and Celestial Venerable Liu Yuan had nothing to say.

Before Chief Jiang appeared, this woman was considered the most dazzling alchemy genius in the Land of Dao Extinction.

Having debuted for just a billion years, she was already on par with the established Seventh-grade Emperor Alchemists like them.

Most astonishingly, this woman also had considerable achievements in the three paths of Artifact, Talisman, and Array.

Facing such an unparalleled talent, they couldn't help but submit.

"What a pity Chief Jiang didn't come..."

"Even if he did come, due to his status as Chief, he couldn't participate in the Jade River competition, right?"

Several people's minds had already entertained this thought numerous times.

And they didn't know that at this moment, Brother Cheng was watching them.
