However, this didn't affect Jiang Fann much. He was a troublesome person to begin with, not to mention that he was using Zhu Yan's identity this time.
Furthermore, his goal was the special immortal gold. If he could get some at a low price, it would be enough for him. It was much cheaper than the price he had to pay at the auction house. He had to get the immortal gold.
When they arrived at the entrance of the valley, Jiang Fann found that it was actually a cave. There were people coming and going, but there was someone guarding the entrance.
There were four guards in total, and all of them were at the Mortal Separating Stage. It could be seen that the Pill Sect attached great importance to this competition.
After arriving here, Zhu Yan brought the two of them and planned to walk in. However, the four guards who didn't stop them suddenly stepped forward and stopped the three of them.
"Three of you, please wait."
The guard in the lead was still rather polite.
Zhu Yan said directly, "Is there something?"
The guard said, "Nothing, just a kind reminder. Although a few years have passed since the last competition, we still remember your deeds. If you still don't abide by the rules in the valley this time, then we can only ask you to leave. We have already said this before, so please understand."
Although it was just a few words, Jiang Fann and Zhu Yan could already hear something from it. It seemed that this guy had done something out of line in the previous Pill Dao Competition, which was why he was so famous here.
Zhu Yan said, "I brought the Gifted Pharmacist from my clan to participate in the competition. The higher-ups of your Pill Sect have no right to stop me from entering the valley. Hurry up and make way for me. Don't delay the geniuses from my clan from entering the valley to rest."
Hearing Zhu Yan's words, the guards saw Jiang Fann and the other two people behind him. They nodded at the two of them, then reminded Zhu Yan a few more times before letting them pass.
"Drug Master Zhu, please don't cause any more trouble in the valley. The Pill Sect does not fear your clan."
Zhu Yan did not respond. He led the two of them through the crowd and entered the cave.
In the passageway, Fang Xiao teased, "It seems that I have offended the Pill Sect before, right? It's been a few years, but I still remember you."
"I didn't do anything. Who knew that the Pill Sect would break so many rules in the competition? However, that matter really has nothing to do with me. I was just scammed."
Zhu Yan's explanation was somewhat weak and powerless. However, seeing that Jiang Fann and the other two did not have much of a reaction, he felt a lot more at ease.
After passing through, everything in the valley entered his eyes. The valley was huge, and the cliffs on both sides were carved into chairs. Many cultivators were sitting on them.
In the center of the valley was a huge platform. There were many square areas above the platform. If he was not mistaken, that should be the place for the competition.
It was very lively here. The pharmacists from various regions came here to learn, or to watch. In short, most of them were pharmacists. It was indeed a gathering of the Dao of Alchemy.
Being able to see so many alchemists at once was not common.
Fang Xian looked around at the viewing platforms on the surrounding cliffs, then frowned and said, "The distance between the platform and us is so far. I'm afraid that cultivators with poor eyesight won't be able to see anything at all."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yan hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Right? I knew it. The distance is too far. Otherwise, why would I listen to that bastard's words and jump into the arena?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly thought of something and immediately shut up, no longer saying anything.
Jiang Fann did not pursue the matter and said directly, "Let's find a place to sit down."
Zhu Yan said directly, "You are here to participate in the competition. Of course, you don't need to sit with the audience. Follow me. I'll bring you to register first. Then, with the participation token, you can move around freely in this valley."
He brought Jiang Fann and the other two directly towards the direction of the competition platform. In an instant, many alchemists in the area looked towards Zhu Yan with some surprise in their eyes.
Zhu Yan did not have much of a reaction. Instead, he was in a good mood and swaggered all the way to the registration area with the two of them.
The cultivator who was in charge of the registration was also stunned when he saw Zhu Yan, and then his expression became somewhat displeased.
"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to enter the arena?"
Zhu Yan said, "Look carefully. This time, I brought my clansmen to participate in the competition. Hurry up and register him."
After saying that, he pushed Jiang Fann in front of him. Obviously, he did not want to talk to this guy anymore.
The cultivator sized up Jiang Fann from head to toe and asked, "Are you an alchemist? If you are just a filler, I'm afraid you won't be able to work with our Pill Sect in the future. Don't mess around with this guy."
Zhu Yan was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he said directly, "When did I mess around? I'm an emperor-rank alchemist. What right do you have to say that I'm messing around?"
"An emperor-rank alchemist cannot disobey the rules. This competition concerns the dignity of our Pill Sect. How can it be a joke?"
Jiang Fann saw that the two of them were about to start arguing, so he quickly said, "I am indeed an alchemist. Please help me register."
The cultivator said, "I hope your decision is right."
After saying that, he directly ordered the disciple beside him to start recording Jiang Fann's information.
Jiang Fann followed Zhu Yan's surname and changed his name to Zhu Fan. He successfully obtained the token. Zhu Yan was in a particularly good mood, so he directly took the two of them to the other areas of the valley. He planned to take them around.
Before they had gone far, Zhu Yan heard someone shouting his name. The three of them looked in that direction and saw the cultivator who had accompanied Zhu Yan yesterday was currently looking at the stage and waving at them.
Zhu Yan did not hesitate and walked over.
That person was not an alchemist, but a cultivator at the Mortal Separating Stage. The aura he was releasing was slightly stronger than Zhu Yan's. At this moment, he was looking at Jiang Fann and Zhu Yan with a face full of doubt.
"Jiang Fann! What's going on? Where did these two come from? I was helping you get a good position."
Zhu Yan laughed, "This time, I'm lucky. I don't need a position. I will be watching the competition from the inside. I will explain it to you after the competition is over. If you are not interested in the Dao of Alchemy, you can leave first. I will find you later."
"I'll stay here. I'm afraid that you will be impulsive again and let that guy find a chance to trouble you. If something happens to me, I will help you. After all, you really don't follow the rules."
"Find trouble with me? He has to have the chance. I will just stand here. If he dares to come down from the stage, I will help him."
Hearing Zhu Yan's words, the cultivator scratched his head awkwardly.
"You just came here. You might not know yet. This time, he also brought an alchemist to participate in the competition. He registered before you, and now he is in the valley."
Zhu Yan was a little surprised. Then, he turned around and looked in every direction in the valley. He was obviously looking for someone.
Jiang Fann and Zhu Yan stood at the side and didn't say anything. The registration was over. They only needed to wait for the competition to begin. As for Zhu Yan, it would not be long before they could figure it out.
Just as Zhu Yan was looking around, a voice sounded from another direction.
"Oh? Alchemist Zhu actually sneaked into the valley again. Can't the people of the Pill Sect keep an eye on you?"
When Zhu Yan saw this person, his eyes turned cold, "Where do I even need you, Chen Ye, to care about?"
At this moment, Jiang Fann was also observing the newcomer. His cultivation was obviously above Zhu Yan's, and he also exuded the aura of an alchemist.
Fang Xian transmitted his voice to Jiang Fann, "This guy called Chen Ye comes from an alchemy family in the ZhongTian Empire. He is very famous in the outside world. Their family has produced several alchemy geniuses, and two of them have even become disciples of the upper echelons of the Pill Sect. Their status has risen sharply, and this has made their Chen Family even more famous."
Chen Ye glanced at Jiang Fann and Zhu Yan. He obviously didn't put the two of them in his eyes, and he still didn't forget to ridicule Zhu Yan.
"I didn't expect your family to produce an alchemist again. It's a pity that you won't even pass the preliminary round. However, this is not hard to understand. After all, your family doesn't have much talent in the field of alchemy."
Zhu Yan sneered, "Even if everyone in your family can refine medicine, what's the use? They are not even qualified to carry shoes for the Pill Sect. If it wasn't for those two juniors who entered the Pill Sect, your Chen Family would only be mediocre."
Chen Ye laughed and said, "After this competition, it won't be just two. It will be three! Compared to our Chen Family's geniuses, the young alchemists of your family are no different from trash. However, it is just your job to sneak into the valley. Hahaha …"
After he finished speaking, he led the others and left with loud laughter, leaving Zhu Yan with a gloomy face.
The young man behind Chen Ye even looked at Jiang Fann with a provocative expression before he left. He pointed at the platform, which was obviously meant to be used for the competition.
From this, it could be seen that there must have been a lot of things between the two of them, and this Chen Ye was most likely the 'little guy' Zhu Yan was talking about.
A moment later, Zhu Yan turned around and looked at Jiang Fann and Fang Xian. It could be seen that he was still very angry.
Seeing the two calm people, Zhu Yan quickly spoke up.
"That bastard is talking like that, but you guys are not angry at all?"
Jiang Fann laughed and said, "It's not us who are talking. Why should we be angry? As an alchemist, shouldn't we be calm at all times? Just because of a few words from him, I am afraid that Elder Brother's path in the Dao of Alchemy is still very long."
Zhu Yan was able to reach the level of an emperor-ranked alchemist, so he naturally understood what Jiang Fann meant. However, he still found it hard to calm down.
"That bastard is too despicable."
Fang Xiang was very calm. "Don't be angry, old brother. Aren't you all alchemists? Of course you should use the Dao of alchemy to speak. The alchemist that he brought here is not even worthy to carry Elder Brother Jiang's shoes, so how could he be angry with him?"
Seeing Fang Xian being so sure, Zhu Yan quickly said, "Then it's settled. At that time, we must make that brat lose very badly. If he can really help me make friends with the Pill Sect, how can that brat be so arrogant when he sees me in the future?"
Jiang Fann laughed, "He doesn't even enter my eyes. I hope that the contestants this time can bring me a surprise."
He originally came here to watch the genius cultivators refine pills, but the rewards offered by the Pill Sect were too attractive, so he decided to participate in it. Now, he could also help Zhu Yan, which was a good thing.
