Lanqu County?
Twenty-three years old?
The white-robed elder’s response caused Sun Qi’s eyes to suddenly bulge. Not just him; everyone around wore expressions that were extrely peculiar.
Even City Lord Hu Donghe and Chang Huan’s faces subtly changed.
"Is there such an Alchemy Dao talent in Lanqu County?" Chang Huan inhaled softly and murmured.
"The key point is that he’s only twenty-three years old! It really is sowhat inconceivable!" City Lord Hu Donghe’s gaze rested on Jing Yan standing in the third-tier square.
"City Lord Hu Donghe, do you think... could this Jing Yan be the disciple of so Great Alchemist King?" Chang Huan’s voice was pressed very low.
The Great Alchemist King he referred to was a Ninth-level Alchemist on the Continent.
On the Continent, although it was said that other than City Lord Hu Donghe, the other two Great Alchemist Kings had not shown their faces for a very long ti, no one could be sure that these two Alchemist Kings had already passed away.
Perhaps one of them was hidden in Lanqu County, ntoring such an amazing talent in Alchemy Dao. If that were the case, then Jing Yan would indeed be extraordinary, having a Great Alchemist King behind him would absolutely be a formidable weapon!
"That’s also possible!" Hu Donghe nodded firmly.
...
"That Jing Yan seems to be the spokesman for Youhai Comrce!"
"That’s right, his clothing bears the Youhai insignia."
"Qing Ru is quite perceptive; not bad! Quite good, it seems my Mao Family should pay more attention to Youhai Comrce." In the highest staircase square, the spectators were all influential figures.
At this ti, the people on the lower staircases didn’t know how many points Jing Yan scored in the first round. Yet those on the highest staircase square knew that Jing Yan scored a perfect hundred points, the only full score during this Alchemy Competition’s first dicine Identification round. Because of Jing Yan’s outstanding performance, these influential figures also paid more attention to Youhai Comrce.
A tea’s ti passed!
"All Pill Masters, the second challenge of Identifying Pills now begins!" the white-robed elder continued to preside.
During the rest ti just now, a tea’s ti, work staff had already arranged a series of long tables on the third-tier square.
Different from the second-tier square, where long tables were prepared in advance, the long tables on this third-tier square were only set out after the Pill Masters advanced.
Because, before the end of the first dicine Identification round, it was impossible to be certain which Pill Masters would successfully advance. It was necessary to identify the advancing Pill Masters first, and only then were the corresponding tables placed according to their numbers.
Among the words of the white-robed elder, Jing Yan quickly found his own, marked with the number sixty-six. However, this ti there were only pen and paper on the long table, no Elixirs.
As Jing Yan was feeling a bit puzzled, he saw a green Elixir fly out from in front of the white-robed elder.
The Elixir slowly drifted down and eventually hovered in the airspace above the third-tier square.
Moreover, work staff placed a huge Crystal Stone Wall on the third-tier square. This Crystal Stone Wall was thirty ters in height and twenty ters in width, truly gigantic. The green Elixir was then projected onto the Crystal Stone Wall, not only magnified dozens of tis but also extrely clear, allowing all the Pill Masters who advanced to the second round to see it very clearly.
"The second challenge, Identifying Pills, will involve identifying ten Elixirs. The current one is the first."
"Pill Masters, please note, you need to write down the na of the Elixir and analyze the materials used in its refinent. The clearer you write, the higher your score will be. There are ten questions, each with a perfect score of ten, for a total of one hundred. The higher your score, the greater your chance to advance to the third round."
"You have a tea’s ti to answer each question, so please make haste!" The white-robed elder’s face showed a smile.
In the third-tier square, the Pill Masters’ eyes flickered between the green Elixir and the Crystal Stone Wall. Everyone’s expression varied, but none spoke. Of course, discussing the challenge was strictly prohibited, and anyone caught violating this would be disqualified imdiately.
Jing Yan took only a glance at the green Elixir, and he recognized it.
It was a low-level Detoxification Pill, and just a First-level Elixir, considered quite a basic Elixir. Not to ntion the elite Pill Masters present, even ordinary low-level alchemists could refine such an Elixir.
This first question of Identifying Pills was very simple.
Jing Yan didn’t waste ti; he imdiately started writing on the paper, detailing the na of this Elixir and the materials needed for its refinent. As expected, the first question would certainly score full marks.
After finishing writing, Jing Yan set down the pen, while most of the other Pill Masters were still writing. Indeed, as Jing Yan thought, the first question posed no difficulty for the Pill Masters present.
After one-third of a tea’s ti, most Pill Masters had already finished writing. The majority wore smiles, appearing quite relaxed. Those who were expressionless were probably just serious and not prone to laughter, not finding the question difficult.
A tea’s ti later, work staff collected all the answers.
Imdiately afterward, other work staff reset each long table with fresh papers.
Then ca the second, third, fourth, and fifth questions!
The second question was a Second-level Elixir. The third question was a Third-level Elixir. Both the fourth and fifth questions were Fourth-level Elixirs.
The first five questions were not very difficult, especially the first four questions, which were like gift questions – all four hundred and three Pill Masters were expected to score full marks without mishaps. The fifth question was sowhat more difficult, as that Elixir was quite rare, and it was possible that so Fifth-level and Sixth-level Alchemists could not refine it. However, the second challenge tested Identifying Pills, not Alchemy, so even if so Pill Masters couldn’t refine it, they could still identify the necessary Spirit Grass types.
The difficulty spiked with the sixth Elixir. This Elixir was a Fifth-level Elixir, quite a rare one called Void Numinous Pill, used to aid Martial Artists in focusing their minds. Using this pill during cultivation significantly increased a Martial Artist’s concentration, enhancing the efficiency of their training.
This Void Numinous Pill was a rarity, most alchemists had neither seen nor even heard of it. Naturally, its value was extrely high, and ordinary Martial Artists could hardly afford it.
Of course, for Jing Yan, it was easy. As long as it wasn’t a High-level Elixir, his Qiankun Pill Path had records and thods of refinent.
Jing Yan swiftly wrote down the na of the Void Numinous Pill and the materials required for its refinent on the sixth answer sheet.
