"As long as he can reach that stage, I won't disappoint you, Elder."
Duan Zi Hai glanced at Qin Yichen and chuckled as he spoke to Duan Quan.
As the number one alchemist among the younger generation of the Duan Family, Duan Zi Hai was only twenty years old, yet he had already stepped into the realm of a Human Alchemist that countless alchemists dreamed of.
He indeed had the right to be proud!
Tian Liang's expression became a little uneasy when he heard Duan Zi Hai and Duan Zi Hai's blatant threats. Although Qin Yichen had previously displayed extraordinary martial skills, Dan Province's assessment had nothing to do with one's cultivation level!
Was recommending Qin Yichen to enter Dan Province a good thing or a bad thing? Duan Zi Hai couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
"Don't worry, Elder. I won't stop here before I treat the injury to your Knowledge Sea."
Just as Tian Liang was hesitating, a voice that was as thin as a thread traveled into his ears.
"Condensed voice into a thread?"
Tian Liang's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the voice. He looked at Qin Yichen's calm and composed appearance. He hadn't expected that Qin Yichen's control over his mind power had actually reached such a level!
Even Duan Zi Hai couldn't reach such a level of mastery.
"Mm!"
Tian Liang took a deep breath and nodded his head discreetly.
"If the two of you are ready, you can head over there."
The middle-aged instructor in charge of the assessment pointed at the pill furnaces on the side of the hall as he spoke to Qin Yichen and Duan Zi Hai.
Qin Yichen immediately walked over to one of the pill furnaces. Duan Zi Hai had a strange smile on his face as he walked over to the pill furnace on Qin Yichen's right.
There were more than ten cauldrons in total, but Duan Zihai had chosen the cauldron next to Qin Yichen. Obviously, he wasn't going to let this test go on normally!
When he saw Duan Zihai's actions, Tian Liang's expression changed. However, when he saw Qin Yichen's calm expression, he clenched his fists and suppressed the emotions in his heart.
"The two of you are recommended by the Elders of this House. Presumably, your talent in alchemy isn't bad. However, even so, if you want to enter Dan Province, you must pass our test."
"As everyone knows, the extraction of medicinal ingredients is an extremely important step in pill refinement. Our first test is to test your ability to extract medicinal ingredients!"
"The medicinal ingredients for the test are already prepared on the table beside you. What you need to do is to refine the medicinal ingredients to the highest purity you can achieve in the shortest amount of time."
"If you can't complete the extraction within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, you'll be considered to have failed. Moreover, even if you succeed, if you don't meet the requirements set by Dan Province, you'll still be considered to have failed!"
The middle-aged instructor pointed at the two sticks of incense in front of him as he spoke slowly.
Then, his gaze fell on Qin Yichen. When he saw the latter's calm expression, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that this little guy is really capable? If he's really capable, he could just find a random person to recommend him. That person would be better than Tian Liang, right? "
"Alright, let's begin!"
The middle-aged instructor withdrew his gaze and lit the two sticks of incense in front of him as he spoke to the two of them.
"Hehe, kid, not just anyone can participate in the test of Shifang Dan Province. You're looking for Tian Liang's recommendation. It looks like you can't find anyone to recommend you, so you're just randomly looking for someone to recommend you, right?"
Duan Zihai narrowed his eyes and chuckled. His tone was full of sarcasm and suspicion.
"Take a guess."
Qin Yichen glanced at him indifferently and spat out two words unhurriedly.
"Hehe …"
Duan Zihai chuckled, but there was a cold glint in his eyes. This ignorant brat. Not only did he not feel honored when he spoke to him, he even treated him with such an indifferent attitude. This really made Duan Zihai somewhat angry.
"It's understandable that you've come to Dan Province to experience the test. However, you have to be careful. I heard that during the test, many people have a mental breakdown due to excessive pressure and become disabled!"
Duan Zihai's gaze swept over Qin Yichen as he spoke coldly.
In response, Qin Yichen just shrugged his shoulders and ignored him. Instead, he picked up the medicinal materials used for the test and threw them into the furnace.
Then, with the fluctuation of his Mind Power, the flames in the furnace rose. His movements were very skillful.
"Hmph! This Iron Heart Fruit is the most resistant to heat. Ordinary alchemists can't refine it at all. Moreover, they have to refine it at least three times to barely pass the test. I'd like to see if this arrogant guy is qualified to pass this test! "
"If he can't even pass the first two tests, he's not worth my time!"
Duan Zihai snorted coldly in his heart. He retracted his gaze and quickly refined it.
His goal was not just to pass the test. In his family, he was the youngest Human Level alchemist in the last hundred years. His goal was also quite proud. Although he didn't say that he wanted to break the highest record in Dan Province, he was determined to break the record set by Duan Quan in his alchemy family in order to prove himself!
At this time, Qin Yichen skillfully controlled the flame. The temperature in the Elixir Furnace had reached an astonishing level. Those blazing flames were constantly burning the Ironheart Fruit. However, under this kind of burning, the Ironheart Fruit did not have the slightest reaction.
"It's worthy of being called the Iron Heart Fruit …"
Looking at the Iron Heart Fruit that had not changed at all, Qin Yichen murmured in his heart. Then, he retreated to the back of the Pill Furnace and used the Pill Furnace to cover half of his body. His hands danced quickly.
This set of techniques was completely different from the usual alchemy methods in the past. This set of techniques was specially prepared to refine herbs that were resistant to heat, such as the Iron Heart Fruit!
"Boom!"
As he slapped his hands, the flames in the furnace suddenly trembled and rose fiercely. The temperature suddenly increased abruptly!
While the two of them were refining, the two incense sticks in the hall burned slowly. Traces of ashes slowly fell from above. The hall was extremely silent. Only the sound of the rising flames could be heard.
This quiet atmosphere lasted for more than half an incense stick's time. Duan Quan's eyes swept across the two furnaces. He smiled and said, "He still hasn't finished refining. It seems like Zi Hai's goal isn't just to pass the test!"
"He's such a young Human Level alchemist. I think his goal is to break the record set by you back then!" The middle-aged instructor at the side smiled and flattered.
"That kid's talent is indeed extremely high. Even I was inferior to him back then!"
