Isabella replied, "At Neptune Mali."
Neptune Square was the largest mall in Donghai City. I t was located along Atlantic Street. It was estimated to be the size of seven to eight football fields.
Every night, many senior citizens would practice line dancing there, and the younger generations would skate. It was always crowded.
When Darryl and Isabella arrived, Neptune Square was already crowded with many people. Many luxury cars were parked at the parking lots.
There was a big stage in the middle with many colorful flags with the names like Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei printed on them.
The Elixir Competition attracted many visitors from everywhere; most of them were there to witness elixir production.
On the stage, one could see many elixir cauldrons that were meant for the competition. The pots were made o f pure copper; they were the best in heat transfer. It would usually take two hours to produce elixirs, but it would be reduced to only an hour with the copper pot.
Neptune Square was packed. Darryl could see many familiar faces there-Kent, Megan, Justin, William, Zayler, and others.
Many of those who had attended the earlier outing were also there; to be precise, the rich and famous families in Donghai City were at the competition. The main attraction that day was the auction of the elixirs produced by the contestants.
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 o f 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-'Assistant'.
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."
