...
While everyone was discussing the issue, they saw a hint of confidence in Han Jianye's eyes. He said softly, "I will definitely concoct the fourth Inkspirit Incense. I will be selected, I will beco a top-tier skilled Pharmacist!"
With a flourish, he waved his sleeve and began studying his seventh batch.
Du Lingfei, her face pale and teeth clenched, started her own seventh batch.
When the fourteenth hour arrived, Du Lingfei's eyes sparkled with excitent as the fragrance of pills began to waft from her cauldron. Even though black smoke was billowing from everyone else's seventh batch, she was the only one to succeed!
"I have reached the minimum threshold, but rely improving is not enough!" Du Lingfei tempered her excitent, took a deep breath, and began another batch alongside the equally pale-faced Han Jianye.
In the sixteenth hour, more rumbling sounds were heard... everyone faced failure.
Up to now, out of the nineteen others taking the exam besides Yan Xiaobao, Han Jianye had three successes, Du Lingfei two, and Chen Zinan and Zhao Yiduo each had one; the others... nothing but failures.
As for Yan Xiaobao, he was studying the last dicinal plant.
"This test is too difficult..."
This was the thought running through the minds of the Outer Sect disciples among the audience. They could feel the pressure of anxiety. Most examinees had only two sets of ingredients left. Apart from Du Lingfei and Han Jianye, who had already reached the minimum requirent and Chen Zinan and Zhao Yiduo, who had achieved so success, the other examinees must successfully use two sets of ingredients, or they would fail completely.
The remaining disciples were now very nervous. Essentially, the ninth batch was the most critical; if they failed, Elder Xu would not let them waste the tenth set of reserved ingredients.
If the ninth batch failed, then... their exam would be a complete failure.
Filled with worry and tension, everyone was entirely focused on their ninth batch... every step was given complete and thorough attention; those who had already t the minimum requirent hoped for a better final performance, while those who hadn't had to do everything in their power just to pass.
On the other hand, Yan Xiaobao... sat there holding the last dicinal plant. Clearly, he was contemplating so important issues about the plant, his brows furrowed in deep thought. So far... few people paid attention to him.
The eighteenth hour seed to pass slowly. This was the mont everyone was waiting for. Soon, the rumbling sounds began. As for the disciples who hadn't succeeded at all, they stood up, faces pale, and gave a pained smile. After shaking hands with Elder Xu, they dejectedly left the square.
The disciples left one after another until soon, only six people were left concocting potions.
Soon, the rumbling sounds from the pill cauldrons of the six test-takers reverberated, but only one cauldron emitted a dicinal fragrance, and it belonged to Zhao Yiduo.
Zhao Yiduo clenched his fists tightly, panting, with bloodshot eyes. He was now more excited than before; he had t the minimum requirent. With two successes, he passed!
So people were excited, while others were despondent. Five people failed, two of them being disciples who hadn't succeeded even once. Sighing, they stood up and left.
Chen Ziang could not be more outstanding. He glared at Zhao Yiduo, his heart filled with bitterness and anxiety. Then he looked at the bloodshot last group of dicinal plants.
Du Lingfei frowned, then closed her eyes to think. Han Jianye felt the least pressure among everyone, yet he was not happy with only three successes. He wanted to break through and be selected.
"The final batch!" When they looked at the square, people took a deep breath. Five people remained. Han Jianye, Du Ling Fei, Zhao Yiduo. Of course... Yan Xiaobao
Three of them had t the minimum requirent. Chen Ziang had one chance to do so. As for Yan Xiaobao... people didn't even notice him, and in fact, they began to wonder why he even ca. After eighteen hours, all he had done was study the drug formula and dicinal plants. So even wondered... if he was just there as part of the excitent.
Du Lingfei and the others began to focus entirely on their tenth and final batch of spiritual dicine, with unprecedented seriousness. Everyone watched with fixed gazes as the twentieth hour slowly passed.
Then rumbling sounds could be heard from Zhao Yiduo's pill cauldron, followed by black smoke rising. He sighed. He had failed the final batch, but at least he still t the minimum requirent.
At almost the sa mont Zhao Yiduo failed, dicinal fragrance began to disperse from Chen Ziang's pill cauldron. He wasn't the only one; dicinal fragrance also wafted from Du Lingfei and Han Jianye!
At that mont when they realized they had succeeded, the faces of the three were filled with joy!
"I did it! Four Inkspirit Incenses! I've taken the top spot!" Han Jianye stood up, his excited laughter echoing all around. Du Lingfei let out a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't reached the selection level, three successes were still surprising.
Chen Zinan almost felt as if he had co back from the dead and began to laugh.
So far, the feelings that had been suppressed in the four of them for the past two hours finally erupted.
"What a challenging trial! Despite the difficulty level, Han Jianye's ability to succeed four tis in a row shows that he's truly a chosen one!
