Alchemy Competition, Begin!

Following the long corridor that seemed to go on forever, Qing Yi soon found herself in the middle of a large open space.

Looking around herself, Qing Yi quickly realized that she had made her way into the large hole in the ground that had been refitted for the alchemy competition. Looking up and seeing several hundred, if not more people looking down on her from above, was quite a nerve-wracking experience…

"Are you Qing Yi?"

"Ah!?"

Hearing someone suddenly call out to her, as she was just about to scan through the spectators above for her master and the other elders, Qing Yi almost jumped backwards in shock before turning towards the person that called out to her.

"Y-yes, I'm Qing Yi…" Seeing that it was an older person like the one she had given her identity to just a short time ago, Qing Yi quickly calmed down before answering with a somewhat flustered look on her face.
