"This kid is really conceited. Alright, go ahead and give it a try. I want to see if you will cry in the end!"
An Lian was furious.
When he had reprimanded the disciples of Changle Immortal Island, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Everyone had been obedient. Who would have thought that Ling Xiao would be so unruly?
"Alright, I promise you. What if you can't do it?"
An Lian asked.
"Simple. If I can't do it, not only will I not participate in the Alchemy Conference, but I will also hand over the Imperial Ruler's Seal!"
Ling Xiao said nonchalantly.
The Imperial Ruler's Seal!
Ling Xiao's words left everyone dumbfounded.
How confident was this fellow to even dare to use the Imperial Ruler's Seal as a wager?
"Alright!"
An Lian shouted hurriedly, as if he was afraid that Ling Xiao would regret his decision.
Actually, he was overthinking things. How could Ling Xiao regret his decision?
Perhaps Ling Xiao was still unable to dominate in terms of martial arts. However, in terms of alchemy, if Ling Xiao claimed to be second, no one would be qualified to claim to be first.
Even his master, a Yuan Venerate, would not dare claim to be as knowledgeable as him.
"Now, everyone, go to your own testing platform and start the test. The time has been set, so please pay attention."
An Lian no longer looked at Ling Xiao and announced the start of the test.
The testing platforms were random, so Ling Xiao chose the one closest to him and walked over.
The rest of the people also chose their own testing platforms. No one dared to cause any trouble here. After all, the Changle Patriarch was standing there and watching.
"Brother Ling, you really shouldn't have offended Senior An. What you did was a little too much."
Ling Xiao had just entered the testing platform when he heard a voice coming from next door. When he turned around, he saw that it was Danqing.
This fellow had just reprimanded him and was now lecturing him. This really made him unhappy.
"Too much? I didn't know that Brother Danqing could ignore someone after being ridiculed. It's a pity that I don't have a turtle shell. I don't know how to pretend to be a coward, nor do I need to! "
Ling Xiao said nonchalantly.
After he finished speaking, he turned his head back and started to concentrate on selecting the medicinal herbs.
He couldn't rely on his internal energy, soul force, or his eyes. He could only rely on his sense of touch to choose. He had to concentrate.
Dan Qing was slightly angry. This was not the first time Ling Xiao ignored him. This made him, the number one young alchemist of the Everlasting Joy Immortal Island, a little unhappy.
He always felt that he was incomparably noble, but when he came out, he stepped on a pile of cow dung, and his heart was extremely unhappy.
"What's wrong, Brother Danqing? Did that guy offend you?"
On the other side of Danqing was the Little Herb King, Ji Luoyu.
Ji Luoyu seemed to be very interested in painting.
It was possible that she had a crush on him.
After all, Dan Qing had a handsome appearance and his cultivation had reached the second Grotto Heaven realm. In addition, he was a top Huang level alchemist. He was definitely one of the best among the younger generation!
It was normal for women to be interested in him.
"Sister Luo Yu, don't you know that Ling Xiao? He saved the life of the Everlasting Joy Ancestor. "
Dan Qing said with a smile.
"I'm not interested in him. He's just a Huang level alchemist. Everyone says that he saved the Everlasting Joy Ancestor, but that's just a rumor. Moreover, even the Ancestor himself suspected that someone was guiding him. It's not a big deal. He just read a few more books."
Ji Luoyu really wasn't interested in Ling Xiao. Instead of discussing Ling Xiao, it was better to get closer to Dan Qing.
After all, Dan Qing was much stronger than Ling Xiao in all aspects.
Cultivation, alchemist grade, background, these were all things that Ling Xiao couldn't catch up to.
"That's true."
At this moment, Dan Qing's vanity rose to the extreme, and he was very happy in his heart.
Feng Ming and Piao Xue praised Ling Xiao in front of him, which made him angry until now. However, Ji Luoyu's words made him feel much better.
"Brother Danqing, the test has already begun. Let's also make a move, lest some pretentious people take advantage of us."
Ji Luoyu said with a smile.
"Mm, I wish you all the best!"
Dan Qing nodded and looked at the black box in front of him.
"Your test questions this time are really good. Not only does it test the extent of the pharmacists' knowledge, but it also tests their practical experience. If they haven't refined pills before, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to write down the refining process of a pill in detail."
The Everlasting Joy Ancestor walked to An Lian's side and gently patted his shoulder as he praised.
"Many thanks for the Ancestor's praise. This is what we should do."
…
"Fortunately, I've touched every kind of medicinal ingredient and refined many pills. Otherwise, just the selection of medicinal ingredients today would be difficult."
Ling Xiao found that there were many medicinal ingredients in the black box that were very similar in shape. This way, those who had an ambiguous understanding of the appearance of medicinal ingredients would have trouble identifying them.
"Taichi Eye!"
Ling Xiao opened his left eye and couldn't help but smile.
His left eye could actually see the medicinal ingredients clearly through the black box.
The five medicinal ingredients that he had chosen through touch were exactly the same as what he saw. This made him smile knowingly.
Naturally, he was somewhat satisfied with his performance.
After all, among those present, there was really no one who had the ability to see through things like him.
However, the selection of medicinal ingredients was actually the most simple step.
As long as these 21 people were true alchemists and not sneakily obtained their grades, they should be able to pass.
The problem was the next pill formula.
Not only did a pill formula have to write down the amount of medicinal ingredients needed, but it also had to describe the refining process in detail.
The trouble was here. No matter which five medicinal ingredients An Lian put in the black box were combined, it was very difficult to refine the pills that currently existed.
In other words, those who participated in the test had to "create"!
It was very difficult to develop a pill formula on one's own and withstand the test.
Many alchemists just learned step by step and absorbed mechanically. They only knew how to refine the pills in the books and didn't know how to invent and create their own.
Thinking up to here, Ling Xiao involuntarily turned his head and glanced at An Lian, thinking to himself that this guy was really ruthless enough.
Of the people present, if they could come up with a pill recipe after racking their brains, it would already be very impressive. An Lian wanted to crush the pride of these outstanding geniuses and pour a bucket of cold water over their heads, so that they wouldn't dare to be complacent at the Alchemy Conference tomorrow.
"Damn it, no wonder this guy dared to make a bet with me, to create more than four pill formulas? It's really not an ordinary level of difficulty! "
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and started racking his brains.
At the same time, the rest of the testers also encountered the same difficult problem.
However, their difficulty was definitely much lower than Ling Xiao's.
Because they only needed to create one pill formula and that would do.
But even so, there was still no one who could complete this matter in a short time.
