Gold, even if you knead it into mud, it will still emit its own brilliant light.
"For the final test, Dan Province will not provide you with any recipes. Within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, you must refine a pill within the limits of your abilities.
As long as the pill reaches level five, you pass! "
After the shock of the second test, the middle-aged instructor no longer looked down on Qin Yichen. If it had been the first test, there might have been something fishy about it, but in the second test, Qin Yichen's ability had completely convinced him.
If he foolishly tried to make things difficult for Qin Yichen now, he would only add a mountain of resistance to him!
This guy could no longer be described as an alchemy prodigy. As long as he continued to develop normally, he might even become one of Dan Province's giants.
He had deliberately made things difficult for him in the first two tests, but he hadn't been able to stop this young man in his tracks. Now, he knew what to do. After so many years of experience in Dan Province, he already knew what to do.
"Elder Duan …"
Duan Zihai looked at Duan Quan and asked.
"Play it by ear. As long as there's a chance …"
A cold glint flashed in Duan Quan's eyes as he hinted.
"Mm!"
Duan Zihai nodded. His eyes were also filled with ruthlessness.
The joy he had felt from breaking two of Duan Quan's records was now gone. This unassuming kid had completely crushed him in the first two tests.
Duan Quan hadn't even treated him as an opponent. The results had proven that he wasn't even qualified to be his opponent.
'Kid, I'll make you regret your arrogance today!'
Duan Zihai's lips curled into a sinister smile as he laughed in his heart.
In the alchemy battles, he had destroyed dozens of people's Divine Orbs, if not hundreds. He was very good at using his mind power to destroy his opponent!
Dan Province's test didn't explicitly forbid alchemy battles!
Duan Zihai then walked towards the medicine rack next to the furnace. Although Dan Province didn't provide recipes, they still provided many ingredients for refining level four and even level five pills.
"Go on. After passing the test, you'll be considered a citizen of Dan Province!"
Tian Liang said to Qin Yichen with a smile. After the previous two tests, he was full of confidence in Qin Yichen. Perhaps, in a few years, this kid would be able to make a name for himself in Dan Province.
Qin Yichen nodded and walked towards the medicine rack.
"Hmph!"
When he saw Qin Yichen walk over, Duan Zihai glanced at him and snorted coldly. He continued to take the medicine from the medicine rack, and from time to time, he would weigh it with a small scale.
His goal wasn't just to pass the assessment. At the same time, he wanted to break the Duan family's assessment record in Dan Province!
This time, he was planning to refine a level five medicinal pill!
After a while, Duan Zihai's face darkened. This was because he realized that Qin Yichen had taken the same medicine from the medicine rack that he had just taken from. It was obvious that they were the same.
However, the difference was that when Qin Yichen took the medicine, he didn't use the small scale that was specially used to measure it. Instead, he just grabbed the medicine casually.
"Ridiculous!"
When he saw Qin Yichen's actions, Duan Zihai couldn't help but snort coldly.
The medicinal pill that he wanted to refine was a level five medicinal pill … the Purple Cloud Pill!
Not only was it extremely difficult to refine the Purple Cloud Pill, but its recipe was also known to very few people other than the Duan family.
Although the ingredients that he had chosen were similar, he didn't believe that Qin Yichen could refine such a medicinal pill.
However, when they saw how casually Qin Yichen picked the medicine, Duan Quan, Tian Liang, and the middle-aged instructor's faces couldn't help but change slightly.
"This … Could this be the Mental State?!"
If he hadn't seen Qin Yichen's results in the previous two rounds, the middle-aged instructor would have laughed at Qin Yichen's arrogant actions. One had to know that the Mental State required not only extremely high attainments in mental strength, but also a certain degree of familiarity with the medicine formula.
Even many of the current elders in Dan Province might not be able to do this.
However, after witnessing the shocking results in the previous two rounds, the middle-aged instructor didn't doubt Qin Yichen's actions at all.
"Good lad!"
Tian Liang's face lit up with joy. Now, he wouldn't doubt Qin Yichen anymore.
"Laugh all you want … Let's see if you can still do it! How long will it take?! "
Duan Quan looked at Qin Yichen with a gloomy face. In his heart, he only hoped that the two of them would quickly refine the medicinal pill so that Duan Zihai could defeat Qin Yichen in one fell swoop!
So what if Qin Yichen was outstanding in refining the Iron Heart Fruit? So what if his ability to recognize medicine was amazing?
Could it be that at his age, his mental strength cultivation was stronger than Duan Zihai's, who the Duan Family had nurtured with all their resources?
In his opinion, Duan Zihai, who had already broken through to become a Human Grade Alchemist, only needed to divert a little of his attention to completely defeat Qin Yichen!
There weren't many Human Grade Alchemists even in Dan Province. Including more than ten elders and a few instructors who were about to become elders, there were no more than thirty of them.
In order to let Duan Zihai break through to become a Human Grade Alchemist, the Duan Family had spent a shocking amount of resources!
Soon, the two of them finished selecting the medicine ingredients and walked directly in front of the pill furnace.
Duan Zihai did the same as before. He purposely let Qin Yichen choose a pill furnace first and then refined the pill furnace next to it.
"Blaze …"
As the flames in the pill furnace rose, Qin Yichen directly threw in all the medicine ingredients he had obtained earlier.
Seeing his crude actions, the corners of Tian Liang's mouth couldn't help but twitch. If it weren't for his confidence in Duan Zihai, he would have shook his head and sighed.
As everyone knew, refining pills required the extraction of medicine ingredients. A higher grade pill required more medicine ingredients, and the temperature at which the medicine ingredients were refined was different.
Which alchemist who refined pills of the fourth grade and above didn't do it step by step? Who would throw all the medicine ingredients into the pill furnace in one go?
Even if there were, it would be some high-grade alchemists who refined pills of a lower grade, and the temperature at which the medicine ingredients were refined was similar. Only then would they do it.
However, Tian Liang was very clear about the medicine ingredients Qin Yichen had chosen. Among them, there were a few that required extremely large differences in temperature!
"Pa! Pa! "
While the crowd was still in shock over Qin Yichen's actions, a series of light tapping sounds rang out rhythmically.
Looking over, they saw Qin Yichen's arms dancing. His palms were skillful but also seemed a little undisciplined as he casually tapped on the pill furnace.
The rhythm only lasted for a moment, but it attracted their attention.
"What a pretentious act!"
Duan Zihai snorted in dissatisfaction. He hurriedly took out a few medicine ingredients that required similar temperatures to refine pills and threw them into the pill furnace.
