Chapter 381: King’s Cauldron

Unlike the Violet Nebula Alchemy Competition, this time the Rosewood City Pharmacist Guild held a youth alchemy competition that only had age restrictions but no alchemy level restrictions for contestants.
As long as the contestant is under 25 years old, they can participate in this competition, regardless of whether they are a Primary Alchemist or a Grandmaster Alchemist.
It was precisely because of this that there were a large number of contestants in the youth alchemy competition compared to the strict requirements of the Violet Nebula Alchemy Competition. Even middle and senior alchemists who were usually hard to come by in ordinary days would gather at the Pharmacist Guild square and show off their superb skills in front of everyone.
David Jones walked through the crowded streets with Daphne on his shoulder, Rainbow wrapped around his wrist, and accompanied by Margaret Yule and others.
“So many alchemists, truly worthy of Rosewood City, the land of alchemy!11
Smelling the faint scent of medicinal herbs, David Jones couldn’t help but be surprised as his eyes swept over the Five-Flare badges worn by young alchemists who passed by.
In Waterland City, it is rare to see young alchemists, but here you can find a large handful of them. He can even find a Senior Alchemist with just a casual glance.
“No wonder Waterland City can’t develop, as the talents with any capability have all flown away.” With this thought, David Jones shookhis head helplessly.
Sensing an unusually powerful Psychic gaze, Benjamin Brightbridge stopped subconsciously.
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?” the gentle junior sister asked, raising her head.
“Nothing.”
Benjamin Brightbridge glanced at David Jones with a smile on his face.
To be able to materialize Psychic Power, it seems that in this alchemy competition, he could encounter a worthy opponent.
Soon enough, David Jones’s team arrived at the vast square in front of the Pharmacist Guild.
Due to overcrowding and people pushing against each other, there were many fully armed Beast Master Soldiers maintaining order and checking qualifications outside the square.
“I’ll go to the audience area to watch the competition, you guys do your best!” Margaret Yule bent her right arm down and made an encouraging gesture.
“No problem!” Though Sylvia Creek was a little less confident, she still forced a smile.
“Just treat it as a test foryourself, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself!”
With that, David Jones walked to the back of the line and started queuing.
“Please show your participant credentials!”
David Jones took out his Pharmacist’s badge, passed the qualification check easily, and entered the square.
“A Flare I Alchemist? Just another first-round loser!”
Watching David Jones disappear, the checking soldier secretly shookhis head.
Among all the contestants he checked today, David Jones had the lowest alchemy level.
“But the name David Jones does sound familiar!” The soldier blinked his eyes, but soon forgot about it due to his busy work.
When David Jones passed through the contestant passage, the first thing that caught his eye was the wide competition square, with a large number of alchemy furnaces arranged on it, probably as many as a thousand.
Behind the alchemy furnaces were many young alchemists sitting with their eyes closed, meditating and adjusting their state.
On both sides of the square, a large number of audience seats were set up, with the more luxurious seats being towards the front. David Jones easily spotted Margaret Yule among them.
“The competition is about to start, let’s find a good spot first!”
Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of those behind him, David Jones smiled.
“Alchemy furnace No. 0001!”
Perhaps because his master had signed him up for the competition, David’s position was in the most conspicuous place in the square.
“Hello, senior brother!”
Seeing David appear, Helen Cloud’s eyes lit up, and she greeted him sweetly.
Upon hearing this, the pharmacists waiting nearby looked at David with surprise.
Helen Cloud, who had just broken through to become a Flare V alchemist this year, was undoubtedly a BOSS-level opponent in the eyes of the participants. Now that another equally strong senior brother had appeared, didn’t that mean they had no hope of reaching the top three?
Perhaps because of the celebration of Grandmaster Hoyle’s breakthrough, this year’s Pharmacy Conference’s rewards far exceeded those of previous years, with the top three receiving incredibly rich prizes.
For a pharmacist, elixir formulas were hard to find, and a suitable elixir cauldron was a once-in-a-century opportunity.
The reward for the champion of this year’s youth Pharmacy Conference was a sixth-order King-level cauldron, the World-Purifying Cauldron, also known as the World Cauldron, which was a rare treasure that ranked 8,333rd on the Ten Thousand Cauldrons Ranking as a sixth-level arcane implement.
“Arcane Implement: World-Purifying Cauldron”
“Rank: SS tier, Class VI”
“Profile: Made with the heaven gold and pure Yang Qi along with the earth soil and pure Yin Qi, this cauldron is a replica of an ancient treasure, created by imitating the legendary Ninth Order elixir furnace, the World Cleansing Divine Cauldron.”
“Trait: Heaven and Earth Qi – Forming an elixir through Qi, the success rate of refining Class VI and lower elixirs using this cauldron is increased by 20%.” “Additional Skill: Day Yin, Night Yang – If elixir refining fails, the cauldron can reverse time and bring the elixir back to the moment before it failed. This skill can be used only once a year, using it multiple times in a short period increases the risk of the cauldron’s collapse.”
The reward for the runner-up in the Pharmacy Conference was a single-use Heritage Stone with a record of the Class VI Reincarnation Elixir formula.
As for the third-place reward, it was a rare Class VI mesona, the Weeping Herb.
As a valuable elixir that can greatly increase one’s physical strength, this medicine is often coveted by pharmacists to help their flesh catch up with the pace of Psychic Power growth.
It was precisely because the rewards of the conference were so rich that the pharmacists on the scene couldn’t help but scrutinize David until they saw his Flare I Alchemist Badge on his chest.
“Is Helen Cloud, the popular champion choice’s senior brother, only a Flare I alchemist?” A pharmacist from Hermit City couldn’t help but adjust his glasses, eyes full of astonishment.
This level of pharmacist would be considered trash, not only in Rosewood City but even in Hermit City.
“Is he a senior brother from the Beastmaster Department?” Thinking of this possibility, the bespectacled young man breathed a sigh of relief.
As a Flare IV apex, he knew very well where his pharmacy skills stood and aimed only for the third prize, the Weeping Herb.
“He defeated Ji Lun, who was third in the Myrtle List. Who knows how much substance there is to his ninth place on the Purple Star List?”
On the other side, the senior students from Rosewood College looked at David with some concern.
Although David wore a Flare I Alchemist Badge to participate in the conference, those who knew of his Purple Star ranking did not naively believe that David only had such strength. Instead, they thought he was showing weakness to the enemy.
A pharmacist who could make it into the top ten of the Purple Star List must be a Flare IV alchemist or above in the later stages.
As time slowly passed and more and more pharmacists entered Pharmacy Square, it was nine o’clock when a dazzling firework suddenly rose from the center of the square.
“I now declare, the Youth Pharmacy Conference officially begins!”
With the President of the Pharmacist Guild’s voice falling, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience!
