Two days later, it was ti for the tournant the Alchemy Tower was holding.
But there were just too many entrants, even more than they had been expecting.
In total, there were over five hundred thousand people who had entered the tournant, so of course they had to hold qualifying rounds to cut down on these numbers.
This ant a change in the schedule to the tournant and the extra qualifying rounds took up another two days.
So for the first two days of the tournant, it would be pure qualifying rounds that would try to cut down the numbers as much as possible.
But even with qualifying rounds, there really were just too many people. Even the first qualifying round that they held was in a hall that was completely filled with participants and there were over ten thousand people taking the qualifying test at the sa ti.
There was quite a bit of trash that had been drawn in by the enticent of the prize, so there were actually quite a few Junior Alchemists that had entered even though they had no chance of winning.
To make things easier, the first qualifying round was for the participants to refine a Mortal Grade Pill.
Mortal Grade Pills were pills that only people who were at least Expert Alchemists could refine, so almost all of the participants in the first round were eliminated.
But there were a few that had managed to refine the pill after so difficulty, allowing them to move onto the second round.
The only person who was different was soone who was dressed from head to toe in black and was wearing a black mask that covered his face, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes. On the chest of that person, there was his identification which read "#133769 Fan Lin".
It was no one other than Lin Fan, he was here participating under the na Fan Lin.
He easily refined the Mortal Pill with a wave of his hand and when the judges looked over his pill, they were shocked to find that it was a pill with 100% purity.
At first when the judges discovered this, they imdiately thought that Lin Fan was cheating, but after reviewing the tapes, they found that he had indeed refined this pill himself.
While they were still doubtful, they suddenly received a ssage and once they read that ssage, they imdiately stopped investigating this matter and allowed Lin Fan to pass.
They were shocked to see this ssage since it was one that ca from the elders themselves.
These judges were only normal alchemists and hadn't been at the auction, so they never saw the finale. They had only heard rumours about what had happened and it never occurred to them to link that Fan Lin to the Fan Lin in front of them.
Just like that, Lin Fan had passed the first qualifying round and was sent to the next round.
It was just too bad that the next round wouldn't be until two days later with how many entrants they had to test for this first qualifying round.
There were over five hundred thousand participants and each qualifying round took thirty minutes to test ten thousand participants. It would take a total of twenty five hours for them to test all the entrants, which took up most of the day.
Lin Fan just smiled as he walked out, entering an alley to drop his disguise before heading back to the shop.
…
In the Alchemy Tower, in the conference room at the top.
The elders had once again gathered after two days to discuss the tournant.
They had all been busy during this ti since it took quite a bit to prepare this tournant. Especially with how many entrants there were since they had never expected things to develop to this level.
But this was also a good sign since this ant that it would be a great boost to the fa of the Alchemy Tower.
While they had taken out one of their treasures from a previous Alchemy Master, the fa that they had generated from this tournant was already enough to make up for that.
Over the past few years, the situation of the Alchemy Tower hadn't been good.
With the death of the previous Alchemy Master and the dissent between the two factions, it had caused the Alchemy Tower to gradually lose more and more power. They were now only a re shell of what they were under the lead of the previous Alchemy Master.
As long as they had the fa from this tournant and the envoy's plan succeeded in taking down the other faction, they could stabilize the Alchemy Tower. Then with the connections and orders that would co from the fa of this tournant, they would have no difficulty in rebuilding the power of the Alchemy Tower.
While the elders were thinking about their bright future, the envoy actually had his brows knit while reading the report in front of him.
"Why isn't that Lin Fan participating in this tournant? What could the faction behind him want?" The envoy muttered to himself.
But still, he saw that Fan Lin's na was on the list of entrants, which ant that he had accomplished at least one of his goals.
He had made sure that the elders were carefully watching Fan Lin's path through the tournant since he had already seen Fan Lin's technique before. He could tell that it wasn't a refining technique from this world. The refining technique that he used even surpassed the level of the upper realm.
This Fan Lin had clearly found so King's inheritance and that was the only explanation why he was so talented.
At first the envoy had felt a bit of greed towards Fan Lin's inheritance, but he soon gave up that idea.
If he was talented enough to gain anything from that inheritance, he wouldn't have been sent down to this lower realm. The best path of action he could take now was to groom Fan Lin and take him as a junior of his family. As long as he could do that, he was certain that his family would thrive.
So he had the elders send that letter to the judge during the qualifying round.
He would be sure to make Fan Lin's path as smooth as possible just so Fan Lin would get the chance to et him.
…
Back in Lin Fan's store, the morning rush had just ended when Lin Fan had co back.
The qualifying round that he was in was the first round of the entire process, so he had gone off early in the morning to participate, leaving only the four kids to handle the store.
But there was no one that dared to cause trouble in his store anymore after what had happened last ti, so it was completely safe.
Elder Hua and Elder Gu had co early in the morning and they were surprised to see that Lin Fan was gone.
When Lin Fan ca in, Elder Hua asked him, "Owner Lin, where did you go?"
Lin Fan just said with a smile, "I went to take care of so business, nothing important."
Elder Hua didn't keep pressing him since there was sothing more important that she had to ask, "Owner Lin, the Alchemy Tower's tournant is starting today, what are we going to do? From what I've heard, there's over five hundred thousand participants! This is clearly going to increase the fa of the Alchemy Tower and make them stronger! Are we just gonna watch as they beco stronger?"
Lin Fan had the sa smile, "You don't need to worry about a thing, I'm already implenting my plan."
Elder Hua had a confused look, "Your plan? What is your plan?"
Lin Fan didn't say a thing.
But it was at this ti that Elder Hua heard so interesting gossip from so custors that were just leaving Lin Fan's store.
"Did you hear about what happened at the qualifying round? That infamous Fan Lin from the Treasure Pavilion's auction showed up and refined a 100% purity pill!"
"100% purity pill? It must be fake, no one can refine sothing like that!"
"No, no, the judges even inspected it for quite a bit of ti and they couldn't find any problems with it, they even reviewed the tapes fra by fra. In the end, there was a letter that people are saying ca from the elders themselves and the judges imdiately let Fan Lin pass."
"No way, could it really be a 100% purity pill?"
Elder Hua narrowed her eyes when she heard this and then she turned to Lin Fan, "Owner Lin, could it be that this is the business you were taking care of?"
Lin Fan spread his hands with a smile, but he didn't say a thing.
Elder Hua deeply knit her brows at this, "Owner Lin, just what are your intentions?"
Lin Fan responded with the sa smile.
