Qin Yichen knew everything about the Pill Pagoda like the back of his hand.
After all, he had stayed in the Pill Pagoda in the Northern Region for a long time. He was quite familiar with the personalities and characteristics of some of the people inside.
For example, Xiao Lin.
The profession of an alchemist was above ordinary people. However, it was not a profession that just anyone could enter.
The reason was obviously because it was too expensive!
This was especially so when it came to practicing the Mind Control system. Many people would stop in their tracks.
Most alchemists would attach themselves to a certain force in order to seek funding. Therefore, don't think that the inside of the Pill Tower was a pure land. In fact, most of the alchemists inside had certain connections with forces outside. The resources in their hands were also provided by those forces.
Xiao Lin could be considered an independent alchemist.
He did not have a strong background, nor did he rely on a large faction. He had relied on his own talent and perseverance to get to where he was today.
Back in the Pill Pagoda, his relationship with Qin Yichen was quite good. After all, the two of them had many similarities.
This was also why Qin Yichen was so magnanimous when facing him. He was not worried at all. That was because Xiao Lin was someone who would never bully others with his power.
Although he was strict, he was actually more soft-hearted than anyone else.
"Return to the Pill Pagoda!"
After the examiner shouted, a row of Pill Pagoda carriages came from the side.
"Humph!"
Huyan Songqing sat in the first carriage with an ashen face. The remaining alchemists also entered the carriages according to the order of their results.
"My friend Qin, I'll wait for you in the inner courtyard of the Pill Pagoda."
Xiao Lin was obviously eager to go back and try. After bidding farewell to Qin Yichen, he quickly left.
At this moment, only the last carriage of the Pill Tower was empty. Qin Yichen didn't have any objections to this, and he strode into it.
After the Pill Pagoda carriages left, the countless people in the square slowly regained their senses. However, the shock in their eyes had not completely disappeared.
"That … That kid passed the test without even taking part in it?"
"It, it seems like it …"
"Looks like the Pill Pagoda will soon have another great master."
The Pill Pagoda carriages had already disappeared from sight. The surrounding crowd was still in a state of shock.
He was late for the test, then defeated the person who passed the test with an absolute advantage. In the end, he even dared to challenge the Pill Pagoda elders. Not only was he not punished, but he was even recommended into the Pill Pagoda!
If this had happened in the past, no one would have believed it.
However, this scene that should not have happened had actually happened in front of their eyes!
This type of oddity, from the moment it appeared, already broke Central Continent's calm lake surface.
...
Pagoda.
It was located about a hundred li east of Central Continent City. Although it was called the Pill Tower, it didn't sound very big. However, in reality, it occupied nearly a hundred li. Behind it was an endless mountain range. Its vastness even far surpassed Central Continent City.
At the center of this area stood a tall tower. It was the Pill Tower that all the alchemists in the Central State yearned for and revered by countless powerhouses!
Alchemists who had the qualifications to enter the Pill Pagoda were all people with shocking talent. Any alchemist who came from the Pill Pagoda would definitely be roped in by the various large factions in the Central Plains.
Qin Yichen followed a spacious road and passed through many checks. Finally, the carriages entered the territory of the Pill Pagoda.
After around an hour, the carriages finally stopped in front of a huge stone pagoda.
Qin Yichen frowned before he could observe the stone pagoda after alighting from the carriage.
This was because he realized that there were over ten young men standing in front of the stone pagoda's door. Moreover, these people were staring at him. Their gazes were like a hungry beggar who had seen delicious bread.
"Haha, do you think I am a sucker?"
Qin Yichen, who had some memories, knew the rules of the Pill Pagoda. He clearly understood the meaning behind these people's gazes.
Those who passed the test would sit in the carriages according to their ranking. He had alighted from the last carriage. Clearly, these people thought that he was the last in this test. Of course, logically speaking, he was the easiest to bully.
"Alright, congratulations on passing the test. You have officially become a member of the Pill Pagoda. However, I hope that you will be able to endure in the Pill Pagoda."
The examiner smiled as he looked at the few people in front of him. He waved his hand and a couple of white crystal pieces shot out from his hand. They flew towards everyone.
By saying this, he naturally meant that even if one entered the Pill Pagoda, there was the danger of being eliminated!
The few people who passed the test extended their hands to catch the white crystal pieces that flew over. Immediately, they began to observe them with curiosity.
However, they did not notice that there were over ten young men with powerful Mental Energy fluctuations nearby. They were currently looking at them with fiery eyes. The desire in their eyes was not hidden at all.
Qin Yichen lowered his head to look at the crystal piece in his hand. The corners of his mouth were lifted into a smile when he saw the crimson number 'ten' on the crystal piece.
The card in his hand was a currency in the Pill Pagoda. It was called … the Pill Card.
The Pill Card represented the identity of an alchemist in the Pill Pagoda. It was divided into five levels based on its color. White represented a one star student of the Pill Pagoda. Above that were green, blue, red and purple, representing two, three, four and five star students respectively.
If one wanted to increase the level of the Pill Card, one needed to increase the number on the Pill Card.
The Pill Pagoda was rich in resources. Moreover, they were all provided for free.
However, there was no such thing as absolute free in this world. The Pill Pagoda was no exception. If one wanted resources, one needed to make sufficient contributions.
That was the number on the Pill Card.
"Alright, they will bring you to the dormitory of the one star students in a while. You can ask them if you have any questions."
The examiner pointed at the ten young men standing in front of the Pill Pagoda. He carried a strange smile as he spoke to Qin Yichen and the rest.
The Pill Pagoda's newcomer's journey was about to begin again. Every year, it seemed to be so ordinary. This time, would someone give them a new joy?
"Tsk tsk, only nine people have passed the assessment this year …"
"Heh heh, it seems that there is not enough to go around."
The ten young men standing in front of the Pill Pagoda's door swept their eyes over the nine people who had just stepped into the Pill Pagoda in an unbridled manner after the examiner left. Disdainful laughter was emitted from their mouths.
There were two people with two lines on their robes in the middle of these ten plus people. These two people were two star students!
"Young master Songqing, I have been ordered to bring you in."
At this moment, a two star student whose Mental Energy fluctuation was at the Soul stage walked in front of Huyan Songqing and respectfully bowed.
"There is no hurry. I want to see how some people will be humiliated later."
Huyan Songqing glanced at Qin Yichen and spoke indifferently.
"Alright, let's not waste time. You can bring the juniors away."
The other two star student, who was wearing a blue robe, waved his hand. After he finished speaking, he walked over to Bian Lingzhu. "Junior sister, I am Xiusha Shu. Let me bring you to the student dormitory."
Jealousy flashed across the eyes of the other ten plus people when they saw this young man's actions. However, they seemed to be afraid of this young man called Xiusha Shu. Hence, they could only watch as an absolute beauty was struck up by him.
