A staff member walked over coldly, glanced at Wang Tai, and said, "Get out of the way."
"Yes."
Wang Tai, covered in dust and dirt, did not dare to refute and could only retreat in embarrassment.
"Thank you." Qin Chen cupped his hands and smiled faintly, then moved to a corner of the competition area, sitting down as if nothing was amiss.
"Interesting." The top contestants from various domains all smiled. Instead, it was Wang Tai who became the butt of everyone's jokes, trying to show off but ended up embarrassing himself.
As Qin Chen stirred up trouble, things were even less peaceful at the Xuan Cheng Pavilion.
Xuan Cheng came from the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion, so he naturally knew many people. Although he wasn't very familiar with the pavilion masters from the Eastern Continent and other places, they had seen each other a few times. In the past, everyone would laugh and compliment each other, but this time, the focus of all compliments turned to Xuan Cheng, only that the tone of flattery felt quite uncomfortable.
"Xuan Cheng, it seems you have found a good seedling from the Northern Heavenly Domain this time. Tsk tsk, a Medicine King around twenty years old, impressive. No wonder you're bold enough to open such odds. Don't forget us brothers when you make a fortune later."
The one speaking was the pavilion master from the Western Wasteland Domain, grinning with a teasing expression.
"Indeed, I've heard that Wanbao Building's odds have reached two hundred billion. Such a large sum, it's truly enviable. Unfortunately, my Southern Huazhou has no share in it." The pavilion master from Southern Huazhou was an elderly man with gray hair, looking quite dejected.
"Xuan Cheng, when your disciple from the Northern Heavenly Domain wins the championship, remember to throw a feast so we can celebrate."
The pavilion masters from various domains all laughed, but their words sounded insincere, although their smiles were quite genuine.
How could they not be sincere?
The many pavilion masters on the field had all bet between fifty billion to one hundred billion, and if it multiplied tenfold, that would be five hundred billion to one trillion, which was not a small amount for each pavilion master from various domains; it was an unexpected windfall.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Xuan Cheng laughed heartily, showing no signs of dissatisfaction, but inwardly he couldn't help but curse these old folks, not a single good person among them.
"Qin Chen, you must hold your ground. My old face and the rest of my life depend on you." Xuan Cheng thought gloomily.
As everyone waited, it was unclear how much time had passed when suddenly, a battleship appeared in the sky. From the battleship, a group of extraordinary strong individuals flew out, precisely the strong ones sent by the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion.
The lead person was an elderly man with graying hair, his aura extremely restrained. As soon as he appeared, he seemed to become the core of this realm, and everyone couldn't help but focus their gazes upon him.
"The subordinates pay their respects to Lord Ouyang Zhengqi."
The pavilion masters from the various domains stood up, their expressions respectful, hurriedly bowing.
The visitor, named Ouyang Zhengqi, was a high-ranking individual from the headquarters of the Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion and held the cultivation of a Medicine Emperor.
A single word from him could determine their life or death.
"No need for such formalities!" Ouyang Zhengqi waved his hand and then addressed the many attendees below, "Thank you all for coming to participate in the Lower Domain Alchemy Grand Competition hosted by our Martial Domain Alchemy Pavilion. Now, I announce that the Lower Domain Alchemy Grand Competition officially begins. Please, all participating contestants step forward…"
After Ouyang Zhengqi settled at the front of the podium, with just a few concise words, he kicked off this year's Alchemy Grand Competition, which was exhilarating.
When over two hundred participants arrived at the central arena, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.
