The Invincible Corruption Manual

"Old Man Yuchi Jiong, why are you making that face? You always remain unperturbed all the time. Do something wrong?" Another old man beside him asked.

"Old Man Bolin, it is regarding our main representative of our Hall of Alchemy Union,  Yueliang City headquarters in this competition. And that person is not here yet." Yuchi Jiong replied. They were close friends.

"Hey, old Yuchi, isn't your main representative of this term's Alchemy contest that girl Suyin? The granddaughter of the chief of your headquarters. I heard she is a genius." Old man Bolin asked with doubt.

"Yes, she is really a good seedling. But, she is not the main representative of our Hall of Alchemy Union, Yueliang City headquarter." Old Yuchi replied.

"Oh, I am curious about who is that candidate that can even steal the spot of that lass Suyin." Old man Bolin responded.

"You will know soon." Old Yuchi said with a smile.

At that time, the old man Jugge Huan stood up from his seat and announced loudly using his essence qi, "Everyone, I, Jugge Huan the 59th Chief of the Hall of Alchemy Union welcome everyone for coming to this 345th Open Alchemy Contest. Now, I will officially announce the beginning of the contest. Good luck!"

"Elder Wang, the boy is not here yet! If he misses then it is his loss. Let that spot for our main representative change to that lass Suyin if he doesn't arrive in time." Old Yuchi instructed him.

"Alright, Grand Elder, I will follow your order. But that boy is really a good seedling. Tch, tch!" Elder Wang said while feeling some regret.

Soon, ten elders of the Hall of Alchemy Union came out to the middle of the platform.

One of them announced, "Dear Contestants, listen carefully! In this term's Alchemy Contest, there will be three trials. The first trial will be regarding the test of knowledge on the basics of Alchemy. The second trial will be the Battle of refining herbs. And the last test will be concocting pills."

Just after he had finished his speech, another elder stepped up and continued speaking,  "Alright, those who want to participate in this contest. You may come up inside this platform and register your names here first from us ten. Oh, and one more thing, those who have already got the spot for representing our various branches of the Hall of Alchemy, you don't need to register here. Also, you can come up and stand here too."

Soon, one hundred and fifty-seven people wearing blue alchemist robes came up inside the large platform. Then, they all started registering their name.

After a few minutes, all of them finished registering their names and stood inside the platform.

One of the elders among them started making various hand seals using his essence qi. Then, he slapped both hands on the ground and shouted, "Arise!"

After that, rocks started moving up from the ground forming two hundred chairs and tables on the platform.

"Everyone take your seat! " He said.

Each of the contestants sat on their chairs.

"The questions of the first trial are on your table. You have to submit your answer within an hour and that will until this incense stick burnt out. Your times start now. Begin!" One of the elders shouted. Then, he took out a long incense stick, placed it on one of the tables, and lit it up.

Then, the first trial of the Open Alchemist Contest officially began like that.

After about five minutes later, a red carriage quickly flew toward the platform and landed within the crowd abruptly.

"What the hell! Who is this crazy person landing such a large flying carriage within the crowd?" A cultivator among the crowd shouted.

Then, a lot of other cultivators around there started cursing while pointing at the red carriage.

A handsome tall youth came out from inside the carriage with a smile. He wore a simple black and white Daoist robe. Also, a beautiful pair of Golden bar earrings hung down from his ears linking to chains.

Cultivators around there kept cursing at him. But he smiled at them.

Then, a beautiful lady wearing a purple Daoist rope came out from inside the carriage and stood beside him.

Seeing her, everyone stopped cursing at him.

"Grand Elder Yuchi, look! The boy is here." Elder Wang exclaimed and pointed at the youth.

"Go! What are you waiting for? Bring him inside the examination platform quickly." The old man Yuchi Jiong responded excitedly.

Elder Wang disappeared from that spot in the thin air.

Seeing the excited expression of Yuchi Jiong, Old man Bolin was surprised and looked toward the direction of Joey.

"So, it is that boy." He spoke in his mind. Then he used a spell and suddenly his eyes started turning violet. After that, he started scanning Joey's body with his eyes.

"What the hell!"  He stood up and shouted.

The other nine who were currently sitting on the luxurious chairs looked at him weirdly.

"Old Man Bolin! Hey, quickly sit down." Yuchi Jiong reminded him.

Bolin calmed himself down and sat on his seat again.

Then he glared at Yuchi Jiong and asked seriously, " Yuchi Jiang, you old freak! Have you gone crazy while concocting all those pills of yours ?"

"Hah! That is so sudden. But, I like to ask you the same question. Have you gone nuts?" Yuchi Jiang responded.

"You are the one who is gone crazy. " Bolin retorted. Then he pointed at Joey and said, "That boy is a genius? Stop, joking with me. We know exactly that he is just a mere mortal. Don't you fear the punishment of our Hall of Alchemy Union for picking him as your representative this time? Quickly come to your sense and stop all of this madness."

"So, you are freaking out about that damn reason. Then, just shut up and keep watching. You will know soon." Yuchi Jiang said firmly and closed his eyes ignoring him.

"Hmph!"  Bolin snorted and thought, "Alright, then let's see whether this old man's eyes are wrong or you have gone crazy."
