James waved his hand slightly to indicate that favonovel.com had no need for that. “I’m returning to my room to rest. Notify me when the alchemy test is about to begin.”
Saying that, favonovel.com turned to leave, as his Soul Power had been severely depleted.
Though some had been restored, favonovel.com had not yet completely recovered. Besides, alchemy severely depleted Soul Power.
“Understood…” Yevpraksiya said respectfully.
James, on the other hand, returned to his room and sat in a lotus position. He planned to use meditation to restore his depleted Soul Power.
He waited for a month. His depleted Soul Power recovered over this past month.

A month later, knocks came from the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Master…”
Hearing this, James stopped his meditation, stood up, and walked toward the door to open it.
A glamorous woman with a slender figure was standing outside.
It was Yevpraksiya.
“Master, I just received news from the guards at the City Lord’s Mansion. Tomorrow will be the alchemy test, which will be held at the plaza at the city center.” She said respectfully.
James took a deep breath.
At long last, the Alchemy Tournament was about to begin. He had gone to great lengths to enter the Medicine Pavilion.
From a beginner in alchemy, favonovel.com was now an alchemist at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Grade. He did not know if favonovel.com could emerge victorious with the level of alchemy favonovel.com possessed. However, favonovel.com had no choice but to try things out.
“Alright, got it…” James nodded.
Then, favonovel.com began making preparations.
The day passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, at the city center of Stardust City. There was an empty plaza that was teeming with people.
Under Yevpraksiya’s guidance, James made his way there.
Upon his arrival, the surrounding cultivators made way for him.
Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, James slowly walked toward the center of the plaza. Many people were already gathered there.
There were a few seats at the front of the plaza, on which a few people were seated. Among them were Daley, the Lord of the Stardust Realm, Myrddin Silas the Divine God, the previous jury, and many other renowned alchemists of the realm.
There were a few cabinets in front of the seats, in which there were all sorts of Empyrean herbs. The herbs radiated a colorful light and exuded an alluring fragrance.
In front of the herbs were thirty-one seats. At that moment, only a single seat was vacant. The others were all taken by the other participants.
Seeing this, James instinctively knew that the seat was his and walked toward the seat before sitting down.
Seeing that everyone was present, Myrddin stood up and looked at the alchemists, saying, “Since everyone’s here, allow me to briefly describe the rules of this competition. The purpose of this competition is to test your alchemy skills…”
“In front of you are some Empyrean herbs, ranging from the First Grade to the Twentieth. You need to select some of these herbs and refine them into elixirs. Whoever refines the highest quality elixirs will win first place.”
