Puff!
When this news spread, Kang Si Tong and Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master spat out blood again. They finally realized that when their own people become ruthless, they are not at all inferior to outsiders.
Meanwhile, the high-ranking members of other Alchemy Pavilions were all smiling. This money is easy to earn, isn’t it? Moreover, the Northern Sky Region's Alchemy City opened this betting, causing many people from the Lower Four Domains to almost think that the Martial Domain's Alchemy Pavilion was engaging in a fixed match, which made the reputation of the Northern Sky Region's Alchemy Pavilion suddenly surpass the others.
How could this be tolerated? In the past, the Northern Sky Region's Alchemy Pavilion had no presence at all in the Four-Domain Grand Competition, but now, others actually thought that the Northern Sky Region's Alchemy Pavilion was stronger than them.
With such a strong momentum, how could they not suppress it?
Once the news spread, the Northern Sky Region's Alchemy Pavilion completely became the laughingstock of the entire Zhongzhou City. The funds that had originally purchased the betting, which were still a bit apprehensive, now had no concerns whatsoever.
Even other Alchemy Pavilions were buying in, could there still be a fixed match?
There were even many funds that had not had the time to enter the market that learned that Wanbao Tower had already closed the betting, instantly feeling very frustrated, each blaming themselves for not having the foresight to purchase at the first opportunity, filled with regret.
Amidst the uproar in Zhongzhou City, the Martial Domain's Alchemy Grand Competition finally welcomed its starting day.
This time, the Martial Domain's Alchemy Grand Competition was held in the most central square of Zhongzhou City. The entire square's surrounding steps were divided into eighty-six layers, grand and expansive, enough to accommodate over a million people watching together.
Even so, the seats were still in high demand. As the most central city of the Eastern Continent, the residents of Zhongzhou City were counted in the hundreds of millions. Moreover, after learning the news of the Martial Domain's Alchemy Grand Competition, many alchemists with status and rank from the Lower Four Domains also came, creating a massive flow of people.
To limit the flow of people, Zhongzhou City implemented a ticket system for this viewing event, with ticket prices ranging from ten thousand medium-grade true stones to fifty thousand medium-grade true stones, depending on the distance and quality of the seats.
Yet, within just two short hours, all tickets were sold out.
Ten thousand medium-grade true stones are nothing to the martial artists of Zhongzhou City.
This made the public gasp in astonishment; just from ticket sales alone, the total revenue for Zhongzhou City reached hundreds of billions. Although this revenue needed to be shared with the Alchemy Pavilion and distributors, just for this event, there was a pure profit of over a hundred billion, leaving people marveling at how easy it was to make money.
Of course, this was only possible in a place like Zhongzhou City. If it were the Northern Sky Region, it would definitely be impossible to organize such an event.
Moreover, the farthest seats from the central arena required at least a Martial Venerable-level expert to sit in the back and still clearly see the competition at the center of the arena.
Early in the morning, the competition stage was already bustling with people.
Qin Chen and the seventeen contestants who passed the spiritual medicine test, led by the staff, arrived at the competition area.
"Qin Chen, this time, you must give it your all. The future of our Northern Sky Region's Alchemy Pavilion rests in your hands." Before entering the competition area, the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master said nervously, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
This was a debt of twenty trillion! If Qin Chen lost, the Northern Sky Region's Alchemy Pavilion would be finished, and he, as the Pavilion Master, would also face severe punishment when reporting back to the Martial Domain's Alchemy Pavilion.
