The next day, accompanied by the Northern Mountain County King,
Xiao Yi went to the central square of Northern Mountain City.
The preliminary round of the Alchemy Competition would be held there.
Upon arrival, the bustling excitement and spectacular scene slightly surprised Xiao Yi.
The frenzied shouting and cheering were deafening.
The dense crowd seemed to include nearly half the population of Northern Mountain City.
Squads of elite black-armored soldiers guarded the order strictly.
Within the square, hundreds of genius Alchemists were starting their Alchemy Furnaces.
The various colored flames illuminated the square with a spectrum of overflowing light.
But it was clear they all enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by thousands.
The Northern Mountain County King, noticing Xiao Yi's expression, smiled slightly.
"How so, with your fame and alchemy skills, you should be quite accustomed to such scenes," the Northern Mountain County King said with a chuckle.
