Five times!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The refinement of the Ironheart Fruit was much more difficult than ordinary medicinal herbs. Usually, those who were recommended would be able to pass the assessment and refine it three times. Perhaps, only a few out of a few hundred people would be able to refine it four times!
However, Duan Zihai had refined it five times in less than half an hour. His ability was comparable to some of the ordinary instructors in Dan Province!
To have such results at such a young age was already very dazzling.
"Elder Duan is indeed a genius from the Duan Family, an aristocratic alchemist family. It seems like he's going to surpass his teacher!"
The middle-aged instructor refused to let go of any chance to flatter Duan Zihai. He smiled at Duan Quan.
"You're too kind …"
Duan Quan nodded in satisfaction. His old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Duan Zihai did not disappoint him. During the assessment, he had only refined it four and a half times!
Duan Zihai proudly took the Ironheart Fruit. When he saw Qin Yichen's calm face, his originally happy heart suddenly felt as if he had eaten a pile of sh * t. This damn kid, why isn't he amazed by me?!
"Hey, kid, it's your turn!"
Duan Zihai shouted in dissatisfaction. Obviously, he wanted to see Qin Yichen make a fool of himself.
"Qin Yichen, how many times have you refined it?"
Tian Liang could not help but ask. If he had not refined it three times, they would have just left to avoid being laughed at again …
To be honest, he was not confident at all.
"I've refined it."
Qin Yichen blinked his eyes and said with a pure face.
Refined it?
"Haha! … "
"Pfft …"
Hearing this, Duan Quan and the other two could not help but burst into laughter.
He had refined the Ironheart Fruit in half an hour?
What kind of joke was this?!
"Hahaha … This guy, he didn't just refine it once, did he? Haha, no wonder he said that he had refined it … "
Duan Zihai pointed at Qin Yichen and laughed exaggeratedly. Tears even came out from the corners of his eyes.
It was indeed a huge joke to claim that it had been purified when he couldn't feel any impurities after refining it once.
Such a low-level alchemist had actually appeared in Dan Province's assessment. It was no wonder that he had lost his composure.
"Sigh …"
Not to mention them, even Tian Liang couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps the young man in front of him had pretty good talent in martial cultivation, but on the path of alchemy, he was probably just a hothead.
Just as Tian Liang wanted to tell Qin Yichen to leave, Qin Yichen walked towards the instrument and placed the refined iron core fruit on it.
"Ridiculous!"
Seeing his actions, Duan Quan harrumphed coldly.
"One!"
Soon, the value on the instrument changed.
"Sure enough, it's refined into a …"
Duan Zihai was about to laugh when the numbers on the instrument changed again.
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Eh?"
Tian Liang was slightly taken aback.
The mockery on the faces of Duan Quan, Duan Zihai, and the middle-aged instructor froze.
Being able to refine three times was not a bad result. After all, Qin Yichen was only eighteen years old when he reported his age!
To be able to achieve such a result before the age of twenty meant that he was not any weaker than Duan Zihai!
However, just as they thought that the value was about to be fixed, the number on the instrument changed again. "Four …"
Immediately, their expressions changed again.
"Haha, good job!"
Tian Liang was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. His originally cloudy eyes shone brightly.
There was a chance!
"Hmph, he's lucky!"
Duan Zihai snorted in dissatisfaction, but his pupils suddenly widened in the next moment.
"Five!"
Even Duan Quan and the middle-aged instructor couldn't remain calm.
"Six!"
"Seven …"
"Hiss …"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp at the same time.
He had actually refined it seven times!
That was the highest record in Shifang Dan Province!
Moreover, that person was known as a genius that was hard to come by in a thousand years.
They never thought that Qin Yichen would be able to refine it seven times!
Moreover, how old was Qin Yichen …
They couldn't help but feel shocked when they thought of this.
However, it wasn't over yet …
"Eight!"
"Nine!"
"Ten!"
Finally, a crimson "Ten" slowly appeared on the instrument!
"This …"
Looking at the crimson "Ten", Duan Zihai felt as though he had been slapped in the face. He stared at the surface of the crystal ball in a daze.
At this moment, Duan Quan, Tian Liang, and the instructor's expressions weren't any better. They were all in a daze as they stared blankly at the surface of the crystal ball.
Ten!
It was actually ten!
In other words, the Ironheart Fruit had been completely refined by Qin Yichen in the short time it took to burn a stick of incense!
Tian Liang also looked at Qin Yichen, who was still calm and collected, in shock.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of Qin Yichen's words.
He had really purified it!
Tian Liang also felt his cheeks burning.
He had thought that Qin Yichen was a hothead. It turned out that he was the frog at the bottom of the well.
At this moment, Tian Liang slowly recalled Qin Yichen's performance from the beginning.
He had always been so indifferent.
He hadn't panicked at all.
The reason why he had taken so much time was not because he was weak, but because he was truly refining the Ironheart Fruit!
Tian Liang asked himself if he could refine the Ironheart Fruit in such a short period of time. Even at his peak, he couldn't have done it.
However, Qin Yichen had done it!
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Just as everyone was shocked by Qin Yichen's strength, a sharp voice sounded.
It was Duan Zihai.
After everyone focused their attention on him, he continued, "How could he refine the Ironheart Fruit in half an hour? This is a joke. He must have cheated!"
Although he was targeting Qin Yichen, he had to admit that what he said made sense.
That was the Ironheart Fruit.
How could he refine it in such a short period of time?!
Cheating?
It was possible.
"Kid, although I don't know what tricks you used, you dared to cheat in my Dan Province's assessment. That's equivalent to challenging the dignity of my Dan Province!"
Duan Quan seemed to have come to his senses. He stood up and scolded Qin Yichen sternly.
"Haha."
Qin Yichen chuckled and said calmly, "Old man, are you blind?"
Yes, everyone had seen the entire process. There was no problem. If there was something different … it was that Qin Yichen's alchemy technique was something they had never seen before.
Even if someone was helping Qin Yichen, there were only a handful of alchemists in Shifang Dan Province who could refine the Ironheart Fruit in such a short period of time.
Would such a big shot really help the young man in front of them cheat?!
