After a long time, Ancestor Changle looked at the clock hanging on the wall and gently shook his head. "An Lian, isn't this test a little too difficult? Twenty minutes have already passed."
"Don't worry, Ancestor. Although it's a little difficult, it shouldn't be a problem for someone in the top twenty to come up with an answer. The reason why no one has finished the test yet is because they want to get a higher result."
An Lian smiled.
"Hmm, that's true. But An Lian, you should have a better understanding of these people's standards. Tell me, who will get the highest score this time?"
Ancestor Changle smiled and asked.
Of course, he hoped that the Alchemy Conference could produce as many powerful pharmacists as possible. After all, this was the Alchemy Conference he presided over.
Therefore, he was very concerned about the top twenty.
An Lian pondered for a moment and said, "The one who will get first place will most likely be Danqing. In fact, Danqing's grade has already reached Superior Yellow Grade. It's just that he hasn't participated in the test. Moreover, his practical ability is stronger than others. He was one of our core pharmacists in Changle Immortal Island."
"Oh? He's stronger than the Little Medicine King? "
Ancestor Changle smiled and said, "Although the Little Medicine King Ji Luoyu isn't as old as Danqing, she has been learning from the Medicine King Sun Zai. She has also handled a lot of herbs. In addition, she's the Deputy General Manager of the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company's headquarters in White Tiger Continent. If she doesn't have the ability, the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company wouldn't have given her such honor."
"Ancestor is right. That's why I hesitated just now. To be honest, in terms of creativity, the two of them should be on par. They're much stronger than those old bones in front of them. Perhaps they won't be able to get first place in the Alchemy Conference, but this test shouldn't be a big problem."
An Lian thought and said.
"My judgment is similar to yours."
Ancestor Changle nodded.
"Why didn't Ancestor mention Ling Xiao?"
An Lian asked doubtfully, "Didn't you recommend him?"
"Although Ling Xiao is knowledgeable, he's still unconventional. His basic knowledge isn't solid. He should be able to pass the test, but it's unlikely for him to get first place."
Ancestor Changle shook his head and said.
"I'm afraid he won't even pass the test. He's just an advanced yellow-level alchemist. Unless he's a genius, it's hard for him to have the ability to create his own pills."
No matter how An Lian looked at Ling Xiao, he didn't like that guy.
It was probably because Ling Xiao didn't give him any face.
"Hehe, you'll know when it ends."
Patriarch Changle did not dwell on this issue.
After all, no matter what he said, if Ling Xiao did not perform well, it would be meaningless.
The next thing to do was to wait.
He didn't have high expectations for Ling Xiao. At the very least, he could pass the test. As for his ranking, it didn't matter.
…
"Yes, someone stopped!"
Just as Patriarch Everlasting Joy and An Lian were discussing the testers, a person walked out of one of the testing platforms. He held a piece of paper in his hand. Others definitely wouldn't know what was written on it.
This required the judges, namely the Everlasting Joy Patriarch and An Lian, to take a look.
"Is it Danqing? Isn't this child a little too anxious? There are still nearly ten minutes left. Why is he so anxious? "
Patriarch Changle frowned and said.
Logically speaking, for this kind of test, it didn't matter if one finished at the last minute. As long as one could write enough pill formulas, it would be enough.
For Danqing to come out so quickly, he was either too confident or too anxious.
"Patriarch, you might have misunderstood him. With his results, he might be able to secure first place. After all, it's just a test. There's no need to go all out."
An Lian had a lot of faith in Danqing.
Almost at the same time as Danqing, the Little Medicine King, Ji Luoyu, also stopped.
Ji Luoyu looked at Danqing with a smile and said, "Brother Danqing, you're really confident. You stopped so quickly. You must be certain of your victory."
"Likewise. Sister Luoyu, you finished the test almost at the same time as me. In the end, we can only see who has more answers and whose answers are more reliable."
Danqing smiled.
"Although Luoyu respects Brother Danqing, I'm afraid Brother Danqing will lose to Luoyu on this point."
Ji Luoyu smiled and handed the paper in her hand to An Lian. Then, An Lian placed it on the table in front of Patriarch Changle.
Patriarch Changle casually glanced at it and couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
Danqing and Ji Luoyu's answers were really beyond his expectations.
However, in the end, to prove who was stronger, it still depended on whether the pill in the answer could be refined. If it couldn't be refined successfully, then it was meaningless.
"Go to the side and try. Only the pill that can be refined successfully counts. Otherwise, it doesn't count."
An Lian said to the pharmacists on the judging panel.
These pharmacists wouldn't participate in the Alchemy Conference, but they were all proficient in the art of alchemy. They were basically qualified to be judges.
Of course, there would be two heavyweight judges in tomorrow's Alchemy Conference.
One of them was the president of the Divine Phoenix Continent's Pharmacist Association branch. The other was the top pharmacist on Changle Celestial Island. It was said that he had already broken through the limit of yellow-level pharmacists. The last one was even more impressive, the White Tiger Continent's Medicine King Sun Zai!
After all, tomorrow's Alchemy Conference was too important. It was really hard for ordinary judges to convince people.
Time gradually passed.
More and more examinees finished their tests and handed the papers in their hands to An Lian.
An Lian handed these papers to the judging pharmacists for them to refine. This was also the key to determining the score.
The first to finish their tests were the four yellow-level super pharmacists and the ten yellow-level peak-level pharmacists.
The yellow-level advanced pharmacists were still inferior, so they didn't finish their tests.
No one knew what Ling Xiao was doing. He also didn't finish his test.
"Looks like this Ling Xiao is only at this level. Although he's knowledgeable, he's still lacking in practical operations. He can't be compared to Danqing and Ji Luoyu. He can't be compared to the other yellow-level super and peak-level pharmacists."
An Lian's face revealed a smug expression. He seemed to feel that his judgment of Ling Xiao was too accurate.
"Let's wait a little longer. It's not over yet."
The Changle Patriarch smiled. He wasn't in a hurry.
He believed that with Ling Xiao's ability, passing the test wouldn't be a problem. It was just that his score couldn't be compared to the first fourteen examinees.
Danqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ling Xiao's testing platform. He saw that Ling Xiao was still thinking hard. He couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile.
"Some people are just good at talking. When it comes to the real test, they immediately show their true colors."
Perhaps because he noticed that Feng Ming and Piao Xue were also in the audience and even revealed an anxious expression, he purposely spoke very loudly.
