"Brother Chen, how are you?"
Suddenly, Wu Chen heard a voice and frowned. Here, not many people called him Brother Chen. The most familiar one was the fat guy Kamu. He knew the voice was that fat guy.
"Fatty, why are you coming here instead of hiding in your bed and counting money?"
Kamu smiled and said, "So Brother Chen is a disciple of Beichen Academy. No wonder he is so wealthy. But, I don't know whether I should call you Brother Chen or Brother Wu."
"As you wish."
Wu Chen shrugged. His true identity had already been completely exposed by now. With how well-informed this fat guy was, there was no way he didn't know about it.
Seeing Wu Chen and Kamu talking and looking very familiar with each other, everyone in Beichen Academy couldn't help but frown. They all recognized Kamu. They heard that he was a mean man, extremely greedy, and very close to pirate groups such as Kou Feng. It was obvious that he was not a good person. They were really worried that Wu Chen was close to such a person.
There were a lot of people in venue No. 12, it was completely packed. No one knew how many people came, so there was no room for the people at the back. However, even so, people still came in a steady stream, because this was an alchemist conference, an unprecedented grand occasion, and people like them might only be able to see such a thing once in their lives, and if they missed it, it would definitely be a lifelong regret.
However, Wu Chen and his friends were not worried about the seating issue because they were contestants and had fixed seats, so they did not need to compete with others for seats.
Shortly after Wu Chen and his team arrived here, the Alchemist Conference officially began.
Soon, the referee came out and said, "All the alchemists, please come on stage. Our competition is about to begin."
Immediately, a crowd surged, and under everyone's shocked gaze, thousands of alchemists rushed to the stage and arranged themselves in a certain order.
Wu Chen also walked up. He was from Beichen Academy, so naturally he couldn't be with anyone else.
However, when he walked towards Beichenyuan and wanted to be with them, the alchemists around him walked away at the same time, as if they were avoiding the plague god. Before leaving, they did not forget to glare at him. Wu Chen was so smart that he understood the meaning at a glance.
However, he didn't say anything, but stood here quietly, waiting for the game to begin.
Then, a strange scene appeared on the huge platform. Everyone else was hugging each other in a group, with several people or dozens of people standing together. However, there was a gap in the middle. In that gap, a person was standing alone, with no one around him.
"Haha, it looks like he's been isolated."
"That's no wonder. The other people in Beichen Academy are all fourth- and fifth-level alchemists, but he is the only one who is a third-level alchemist. It's no wonder that he doesn't fit in and is isolated."
Everyone noticed this strange phenomenon and started talking about it.
"This group of little guys."
When Mu Qing saw all this, he frowned. Although Wu Chen was only a third-rank alchemist, which was a bit low in rank, he should not be isolated. After all, he was also a disciple of their Beichen Academy, and the most promising true disciple of their Beichen Academy.
"These little bastards really make me mad."
Yang Xiong's face darkened. The behavior of these little guys was simply making a fool of themselves. They had no sense of teamwork at all. Yes, Wu Chen's strength was a little weaker, but they shouldn't isolate him. Even if they were dissatisfied with him, they shouldn't do it so obviously, and in public. Isn't this obviously making a fool of themselves
Xia Youlan's face was not looking good either. What rights did these people have to isolate Wu Chen? Wu Chen was so young, but he had already become a third-rank alchemist. This was enough to prove that he had a high talent in alchemy. This was just the result of his distraction. If he concentrated on alchemy, with his talent and current strength, he might not lose to these people.
The referee also noticed the situation on the stage, but he didn't care because it was the kids' own business and they could do whatever they wanted.
"Since everyone is ready, I declare that this Alchemist Conference is officially open. Bring in the medicinal materials."
After that, dozens of staff members came onto the stage and distributed medicinal herbs to everyone.
At this moment, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage. The Alchemist Conference that they had been looking forward to had finally begun.
Soon, Wu Chen also got his herbs. He grabbed a handful and briefly checked them. He did not start immediately, but waited quietly for the referee's instructions.
However, others were already discussing in low voices.
"These herbs look like they are used to make the third-tier Spiritual Wind Pill. Are they asking us to make the Spiritual Wind Pill?"
"Refine the Spiritual Wind Pill. Isn't that too easy? Basically everyone can do it."
"There must be something fishy going on here. I don't believe it's such a simple test question."
"I don't believe it either. Let's hear what the referee says."
On the other side, Yang Xiong and his friends were also looking at the platform, paying close attention. They also didn't know what the test questions were.
"Okay, I believe everyone has got their herbs. Now let me tell you the content of the test. You must use the herbs in your hands to refine a kind of elixir. The competition time is one hour, and the quality requirement is at least top quality. The timer starts."
As soon as the referee finished speaking, a burst of noise broke out on the stage.
"Refine a top-grade Spiritual Wind Pill? This is too easy. Even I can do it."
"Yes, the top-grade Spiritual Wind Pill, although the chances of success are low, is still much better than other pills."
"Is this examiner crazy? He gave us such a simple test. Isn't it obvious that he wants all of us to fail the test?"
"The top-grade Spiritual Wind Pill is too simple. Watch me."
Some people took out their alchemy furnaces without saying a word and started refining the medicine. However, some cautious people did not start refining right away, but checked the medicinal materials instead.
Wu Chen was the same. He did not start refining the pill immediately. If he wanted to refine Lingfeng Pill, then why didn't the referee directly say to refine Lingfeng Pill, but instead said to refine a kind of medicinal pill? Moreover, to be honest, refining Lingfeng Pill was too simple. Only fools would believe that the test question would be so simple.
