The Alchemy Rank

You Chi looked towards the crafting area, and announced, "Time's up. Next, we'll be determining the order of the ranking."

"Understood," the elder standing on top of the staircase replied. He looked towards the crowd below, announcing, "We will check each ritual implement to test its strength, and display it before everyone. Then we'll determine the ranking to be entered into the Alchemy Rank. Finally, the ranking will be judged by the City Lord and the heads of the various clans in Alchemy City. Only when there is no more dispute over the rankings will the Alchemy Rank be announced publicly." After he spoke, three elders walked into the crafting area. They started with the competitors at the back of the area. The elders walked up to the first competitor to be tested, asked his name, and then took the ritual implement.
