Though Lin Fan couldn’t see the face of the fla figure, he was able to tell that there was sothing different about the way that it said this.
There was even this trace of doubt in its voice as if it couldn’t believe what Lin Fan said.
It wasn’t as if there was anything that Lin Fan could say in response to this since he had his doubts about what he said as well.
The only reason that he had said it was because the system had caught him off guard.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said this na out loud like this.
After a long silence, the fla figure said with a sigh, "There’s no need to be this tense. It’s not as if I’m going to punish you for saying this."
Lin Fan didn’t let his guard down for a second when he heard this. It was clear that he didn’t believe the fla figure when it said this.
However, it also didn’t seem like the fla figure cared that he didn’t believe it.
Rather, it looked like the fla figure was slowly losing interest in Lin Fan as it went over to look at the last herb that Lin Fan had nad. As it looked at this ’Golden Bell Reed’, there was this strange sensation that ca over Lin Fan.
Lin Fan still couldn’t see the expression of the fla figure, but he could sense that there was sothing special about the way that the fla figure looked at the herb.
It was almost as if there was sothing that it was reminiscing about.
There was another long silence that followed before the fla figure finally said, "Alright, you pass the first test."
Without even giving Lin Fan a chance to react, it waved its hand and made all of the herbs disappear.
As the herbs disappeared, Lin Fan couldn’t help taking one last look at that ’Golden Bell Reed’. After all, the system had told him what was special about it and why it wanted him to obtain it.
"So does that an that the Dao Sect has connections to an upper realm?"
Putting aside what the system wanted, Lin Fan focused on what it ant for the ’Golden Bell Reed’ to appear in this place.
The description that the system gave him told him that this herb was actually sothing that had traces of immortal energy in it. Which was also the reason why the system had wanted it.
The most surprising thing was that the system said that this single herb had enough immortal energy to actually help it upgrade itself. That was the main reason why the system had suddenly urged him to obtain it.
However, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan could take it from the fla figure in front of him.
But that did raise the question of where the Dao Sect got it...
"If they had so kind of connection to an upper realm full of immortals, would they have even been destroyed in the first place? No, it’s impossible that they would have been destroyed unless it was sothing that even the upper realm couldn’t deal with. If it was a disaster of the lower realm, it would be impossible that the upper realm would be helpless."
After thinking it through, Lin Fan convinced himself that this wasn’t possible.
Which was why he shook that thought from out of his mind and once again thought about how to obtain that ’Golden Bell Reed’.
Even if it was hard to obtain, Lin Fan wanted to at least give it a try instead of letting it slip through his fingers like this.
Only he didn’t get a chance to think about it anymore as the fla figure brought sothing else out.
They didn’t leave the testing area, the fla figure just made that thing appear on the workstation in front of him.
When this appeared, it really was hard for Lin Fan to mistake what this set was.
With the cauldron and the herbs, it was clear that this was a test of pill refining.
The only problem was...
"I don’t know how to refine pills at all."
Lin Fan never really had the need to learn how to refine pills since there were always those that would refine pills for him. So it wasn’t as if he had ever spent ti on learning how to refine any pills.
But it wasn’t as if he didn’t have a solution.
If he didn’t have a solution, Lin Fan never would have volunteered for this trial in the first place.
"Ti to buy a few things." Lin Fan thought to himself as he summoned the Dungeon Master System’s store.
There were skills that could be bought from the system as long as he had enough DP and among them were alchemy skills. What he lacked, he would make up for with DP and mass buying skills.
It didn’t take long for knowledge to fill his head, but there was a limit to how much knowledge he could obtain from the store alone. It wasn’t as if just the knowledge from the store alone would be able to make him a master alchemist.
However, it was more than enough for this trial since it wasn’t as if this trial was supposed to be that hard in the first place.
Or that was the case until Lin Fan read the recipe that was provided.
"This...isn’t this the wrong recipe?" Lin Fan couldn’t help asking the fla figure in the end.
The fla figure didn’t get angry that Lin Fan asked this question.
Instead, when it looked at Lin Fan, Lin Fan could tell that it was amused that Lin Fan asked this.
The fla figure just casually said, "It’s because you showed sothing that surpassed the scope of the previous test. As such, I had no choice but to adjust the difficulty of the test to match your abilities."
If he could see the face of the fla figure, Lin Fan was certain that it would have been smiling at him. Though that smile wouldn’t have been a casual one, it would have been one that would have seed like it was taunting him.
Seeing the fla figure act this way, Lin Fan couldn’t stop the wry smile from appearing on his face.
In fact, he even expected the next words from the fla figure, "If you wish to adjust the difficulty, just tell how you recognized that last herb from earlier. If it was just a fluke or sothing else, then I can adjust the difficulty back."
Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything since there was nothing that he could say. It wasn’t as if he could just reveal the identity of the one that had given him the answer.
The system was his bottom line.
Anything else would be seen through by the fla figure.
Lin Fan didn’t have any proof of this, but he could sense that the fla figure would be able to see through anything but the truth. It was just the kind of strange place that the Dao Sect was that he couldn’t predict anything.
So the only thing that he could do was study the recipe and see if he could figure sothing out.
While he was doing this, the fla figure leaned in over him to look at the way that he studied the recipe before saying, "How can soone that struggles with this simple recipe have identified the herb?"
"Is it really that simple?" Lin Fan asked back.
Only the fla figure didn’t seem interested in talking to him as if moved away again.
Lin Fan could only give a secret sigh since there was nothing that he could do if the fla figure wasn’t willing to talk to him. He had hoped that he would be able to get so information since the fla figure was willing to talk to him.
He knew that the fla figure was only doing this to get information from him about how he identified the ’Golden Bell Reed’, but it seed like the fla figure really knew where to draw the line.
So he wasn’t able to lead the conversation with the fla figure at all.
In that case, the only thing that he could do was try to refine this pill and see what happened. It was almost certain that he would fail, but it didn’t matter at this point since he wasn’t able to do anything else.
He didn’t think that the fla figure would harm him for failing, but it wasn’t as if he wasn’t prepared just in case. In a worst case scenario, all they would have to do is rampage and break out of this place.
If Ye Qing Huan wasn’t confident in doing that, then she never would have let him take this trial in the first place.
In fact, she was even looking at him as if she was expecting him to fail so that she would have to make a move.
Which was why he reached out towards the herbs in front of him.
"It’s ti to embarrass myself."
That was what Lin Fan thought at first, but then there was sothing strange that appeared.
It seed like there was sothing that appeared in his vision that was highlighting certain herbs.
As he was wondering what this was, there was a voice that suddenly rang out in his head.
This wasn’t a voice that he was unfamiliar with.
"Activating alchemy guiding system. Host, please follow the instructions given."
