The day of the Pill Meet arrived. The city was full. Everyone was gathered in the arena of the city.
The arena was completely furnished, and there had not been a fight in here for the last month. Everything was done in preparation for the pill meet.
Alchemists from all over the city were in this arena. The singular stage was big enough for thousands of alchemists to compete.
But this was not a meet open to everyone. Only two hundred handpicked, young alchemists were allowed to compete here. That was still a lot, and those alchemists who weren't able to compete in the competition were in the stands, looking on.
It was the rare chance to see so many types of refinement processes at once. No alchemist would want to miss this.
The two hundred alchemists took the stage were evenly spaced in between them. And at the very center, there were four furnaces placed in the grandest fashion.
