They wished to purchase one or two elixirs as those items were really rare and not easy to get.
Darryl and Isabella went to the contestant lounge.
Each of the Six Sects would send ten contestants to the competition. So, there were sixty contestants in total; each of them would also bring their assistant.
Once Darryl and Isabella had arrived at the area, one of the staff handed Isabella her number in the competition.
Isabella was number 13; she stuck the sign onto her shoulder. There was also a big sticker on Darryl’s shoulder— ‘Assistant1.
A middle-aged man with a mic in his hand walked to the stage. He smiled and said, “Hello, attention, please.”
Everyone’s focus was on him; the entire place was silent. The man was satisfied with the reaction and attention he received, so he nodded. “I am the host for this year’s Elixir Competition. Here are some announcements.”
“There are 60 contestants this year. Whoever generates the most extraordinary elixir would win the competition! Simultaneously, all the elixir produced in this competition will be up for sale in the auction. The starting price for each is one buck.”
Everyone laughed.
An Elixir for one buck?
Everyone was excited when they heard the announcements from the host.
All the contestants that year had high standards, which meant that their elixirs would be of high-quality, too! It would be great if one could purchase one of their elixirs.
When he saw the chaotic atmosphere, the host waved his hand and said, “Silence, please! The competition is about to begin. Let’s invite our judges. The first judge is Master Reed from the Shaolin family.”
Master Reed appeared in a red cape; he looked to be in his fifties.
“Wow, even Master Reed is here!”
Master Reed was one of the Shalin family elders; he was at Level Three of the Martial Marquis.
The Shaolin family was the leader of the Six Sects, so everyone cheered when he appeared.
He walked to the center of the stage, took a bow, and sat at the judges’ place.
The host went on. “Our next judge is Master Leonard from the Wudang family!”
Master Leonard walked gracefully onto the stage as everyone cheered again.
“Next, an elder from the Emei family—Abbess Mother Serendipity.”
Everyone cheered and gave a standing ovation.
Abess Mother Serendipity sauntered up the stage. She was in a long white dress, and she looked elegant and attractive.
