In the VIP seats, the Moon Lady chuckled and shook her head. "Why is this guy always in the limelight? No matter if he's hated or loved, he's the combination of a demon and a god."
"My master will always be the most outstanding. The ignorant Medicine King Sun Sa did an ignorant and stupid thing."
Cold Plum thought to herself.
"Tell me you didn't do it on purpose. You're so cool!"
Ji Luoyu's eyes were filled with crazy worship and admiration.
It looked like Ling Xiao's actions just now had completely mesmerized this little girl.
Hua Liuying and Hua Fuguang looked at each other and smiled. Their faces were filled with joy.
Choosing to follow Ling Xiao was the most difficult but also the most correct choice they had ever made.
Especially today, they thought so even more.
Yun Ya shook her head and smiled bitterly. "My goodness, can't you restrain yourself a little? If this goes on, all the good girls in the world will become your fangirls. By then, you'll be hated by even more people."
Only Sun Sa's expression was uncertain.
…
Entering the venue was just the beginning.
After all, there were tens of thousands of people. Hence, this would last for about 15 minutes before the real competition began.
Ling Xiao didn't care about the uproar in the crowd. He quickly focused on his alchemy platform.
The alchemy platform was very simple.
It was a platform made of green stone slabs. On top of it were some herbs and a pill formula.
Beside it was an alchemy furnace. It wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either. It was a standard model.
This alchemy convention didn't allow people to bring their own alchemy furnaces. This was to be fair.
The most eye-catching thing was a mechanical bird on the green stone slab.
It squatted there and stared at Ling Xiao. He didn't know what it was, but it was on every green stone slab.
Ling Xiao glanced at the mechanical bird. He suspected that it might be used to monitor the Medicine Masters. It might also be used to record the results.
Then, he turned his attention to the pill recipe.
After all, the Medicine Masters hadn't entered the venue yet. He could understand the exam questions in advance.
This wasn't against the rules.
In fact, there were many people who had the same idea as him.
Hmm?
Seeing this pill formula, Ling Xiao's brows immediately furrowed.
The pill formula was quite formal, but the strange thing was that some of the herbs listed in the formula were not present at all!
In other words, the herbs were incomplete!
Furthermore, the rules stated that they were not allowed to use their own medicinal herbs.
What should he do?
Could this still be used to concoct pills?
If one were to forcefully use incomplete medicinal ingredients to refine pills, the final pills refined would definitely not be perfect and would not be good.
Although the missing herbs were only supplementary herbs and would not affect the refining of the pill, it would definitely affect the effects of the pill.
Ling Xiao furrowed his brows slightly. He was thinking, what was the purpose of this assessment?
This was not the most troublesome part.
The most troublesome thing was that there was only one set of herbs on the bluestone board.
In other words, you had to refine the pill in one go. This was naturally not a problem for Ling Xiao, but for many alchemists, it was extremely difficult.
Of course, the pill forging for the first round of the examination wasn't too difficult. As long as one was a high-tier apothecary and not someone who was trying to fish in troubled waters, it shouldn't be a problem for them to succeed on the first try.
Those who would fail were definitely those who did not work hard on refining pills normally.
This topic was very interesting.
Ling Xiao released his soul force. Without looking, he knew that many of the alchemists present had very ugly expressions.
There was a type of alchemist in this world who was clearly already a yellow-level alchemist, but had never refined pills before.
This was clearly a situation that went against common sense, but it was a fact.
After all, the Mystic World was not a completely fair world. There would be many things that did not conform to common sense. That was still very normal.
However, there were also quite a number of people who truly had the ability. At the very least, these ten people participating in the assessment on the rostrum all appeared very calm.
Dan Qing and Ji Luoyu even revealed a disdainful expression.
Very clearly, they were disdainful of such a topic.
Perhaps at Medicine King Sun Bu's place, they had done such an assessment more than once.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
The more difficult the examination topic, the more challenging it was.
Refining pills was not difficult, but if he wanted to refine pills with better effects, he had to think of a way.
"Brother Ling, no need to panic. As long as you can refine successfully, it counts as passing. You also don't have to learn from us and insist on refining outstanding pills."
Dan Qing suddenly looked at Ling Xiao and said with a smile.
His words sounded like concern at first, but when experienced carefully, it clearly revealed some smugness and mockery.
"Brother Dan Qing seems to have forgotten the results of the internal assessment."
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "Does the feeling of being slapped in the face feel very good? You insist on coming up to let me slap you? "
"Bullshit! What does the internal assessment count as? That was just me being a little careless. In the official assessment this time, I'll definitely let you know what a true alchemist is. It's absolutely not what a guy like you who walks the evil path can understand!
In short, I'll definitely make you lose face. Don't look at how you're so popular with women now. When you fail later, you'll fall even more miserably! "
Regarding this first round of assessment, Dan Qing indeed had reason to be confident.
He had once stayed at Alchemy King Sun Sa's place for a period of time, and such assessments had been conducted more than a few dozen times.
It was precisely because of this that he was sure that he would definitely be stronger than Ling Xiao!
He wanted to become the champion of the Alchemy Conference. He wanted to seize all the glory that Ling Xiao currently possessed!
He even fantasized that the Moon Maiden would also cast him a look of admiration, and then ruthlessly abandon Ling Xiao.
Thinking of this, he actually couldn't help but reveal a disgusting smile.
Ling Xiao lightly shook his head.
He didn't know what Dan Qing was thinking, but he was similarly very confident.
After all the alchemists had entered the venue, another five minutes or so had passed.
This was also in hopes that the alchemists who entered later could have a certain amount of time to observe the alchemy platform and then make preparations.
Basically, only fifteen minutes had passed from start to finish. That huge artifact clock once again emitted a crisp sound.
The alchemists all looked towards the judging panel.
This time, the one who spoke wasn't Elder Changle, but Alchemy King Sun Sa.
He didn't stand up, and just sat on his seat just like that. Using an indifferent voice, he said, "The first round of assessment is very simple. Use the things in front of you and refine an extraordinary pill!
The extraordinary pill is an ungraded pill. If you all have genuine talent and genuine knowledge, then you'll naturally be able to successfully refine it.
But I need to remind you all that some of the medicinal ingredients in the pill formula can't be found on the spot. But you all must think of a way to refine an extraordinary pill whose medicinal effect reaches sixty percent without violating the rules.
If you can't do it, then you'll be eliminated! "
There was an unquestionable tone in his voice.
As the White Tiger Continent's Alchemy King Sun Sa, every word of his possessed an extremely strong prestige.
Other than a lunatic like Ling Xiao, probably very few people would be willing to argue with him.
