"F * ck, what's going on? Is he trying to keep us in suspense? "
Seeing the elder's actions, the audience, who had been waiting for a good show, seemed to have sensed that something was amiss. On the high platform, Dan Xuan and Chen Yun, the two big shots, narrowed their eyes slightly.
Finally, after letting out a long breath, the elder slowly opened his eyes. However, some sharp-eyed people were shocked to discover that there seemed to be a crystalline glow in the elder's eyes.
"This old man has attended five or six Dan Province Conventions, but this is the first time I've seen someone like this!"
A somewhat solemn voice slowly came out of the elder's mouth. When they heard this, many people couldn't help but laugh out loud. Forget about the five or six Dan Province Conventions, even in the records of the main association, no one had dared to be so willful in the Dan Province Conventions!
"In ten minutes, all the medicinal liquids of two hundred rare herbs were correctly identified. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, this old man would have doubted the authenticity of this matter …"
Amidst the mocking laughter, the elder's voice didn't pause at all. Instead, it slowly rang out.
"…"
When his voice fell, the noisy plaza suddenly quieted down. The people who had been mocking Qin Yichen now felt as if their necks were being strangled by an invisible hand. Their faces were flushed red, but they couldn't make a single sound.
At this moment, the faces of the other hundred plus contestants were also filled with astonishment. Having identified the medicinal liquids before, they were the ones who were most aware that each of these two hundred types of medicinal liquids was refined from rare medicinal ingredients. Just how much knowledge did one need to have in order to identify them!
The arrogance on Qian Zhengchen's face was slightly restrained, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
After a long while, the deathly silence was finally broken by the sound of heavy breathing. At the same time, numerous whispers continuously sounded out.
"Not even ten minutes, and all the liquids were identified. This … How is this possible!"
"Even the elders of the main association wouldn't be so exaggerated, right?"
"Yeah, how is this possible!"
These whispers quickly turned into a wave of doubt. In less than ten minutes, all two hundred types of medicinal liquids had been identified. This was a little too exaggerated.
However, they didn't know that if it wasn't for the fact that Qin Yichen was afraid of being too shocking, all he had to do was take a glance and the information of the two hundred types of medicinal liquids would clearly appear in his mind. Even the age and quantity of the herbs were exactly the same!
If he didn't even have this basic ability, how could Qin Yichen in his previous life have the qualifications to become the famous Pill Saint?
"Elder Wu, Elder Lin, go and check it out as well!"
On the high platform, Chen Yun furrowed her eyebrows. In the end, in the face of the countless waves of doubt, she still opened her mouth to speak. Soon after, the two elders behind her nodded their heads and quickly walked down the stone platform, heading towards Qin Yichen's direction.
Originally, no one would doubt the results announced by the Alchemist Headquarters. Furthermore, it was announced by an elder. However, this result was truly incomprehensible. Chen Yun's action was to prove the fairness and impartiality of the Alchemist Headquarters!
Moments later, the two elders also finished their inspection. The shock on their faces was not the slightest bit fake. This immediately caused the waves of doubt to be directly annihilated. Moments later, the voices of doubt were completely replaced by a kind of exclamation that only belonged to the strong.
"Dammit, from the first round, I knew that this fellow was unfathomable. Indeed!"
"This is too frightening. How did he achieve this kind of ability without tens or hundreds of years of accumulation!"
"Compared to this, Qian Zhengchen pales in comparison!"
"This is merely the most basic identification of herbs. Alchemy isn't just about identifying herbs!"
… …
In the end, in the second round, Qin Yichen obtained first place with an absolutely crushing result!
With regards to this result that had been personally appraised by the three elders, no one dared to doubt it. Many people, who originally did not think highly of Qin Yichen, no longer had that mocking look in their eyes when they looked at the latter once again. Instead, there was only reverence and respect for the strong!
"As everyone knows, in alchemy, the purification of medicinal herbs is an extremely important step. The next round will be one of the most basic skills of an alchemist … purification!"
"The final results of the identification of herbs and purification will determine whether you can ascend to the final stone platform!"
An Elder behind Chen Yun took a step forward under Chen Yun's signal while many people had just recovered from their earlier shock. His voice sounded from the tall stage.
At the same time, a row of golden armoured guards carried a pill furnace in pairs and placed it on over twenty platforms.
"This is the pill furnace that our main guild has specially prepared for you. The amplification effect of each pill furnace is the same."
"Beside the pill furnace, the medicinal herbs for the test have already been prepared. What you need to do is to use the shortest amount of time to refine them to their limits!"
"Similarly, you have one hour. The final result will be based on the number of times you refine them and their purity!"
As the words fell, another two golden armoured guards carried an hourglass and placed it in the middle of the plaza.
"Alright, you may begin!"
Following the announcement, the hourglass was turned upside down and the twenty over competitors on the platforms hurriedly began to move.
However, when they saw the medicinal herbs that were prepared for them this time, many of the competitors' hands could not help but tremble.
In the jade box next to the pill furnace, there was a crimson fruit. If it wasn't for the faint fragrance it emitted, one would really suspect that it was a stone that had just flowed out of magma when looking at it from afar.
"Red Cliff Fruit! Damn, the Alchemist Guild is really generous! "
"Sss, to completely refine the Red Cliff Fruit, it is said that at least an Earth Grade alchemist is required to do so!"
"Yes, an average Spirit Breakthrough Stage alchemist is not even able to refine it!"
"Haha, looks like many people are going to be embarrassed this time!"
Among the spectators, there was no lack of knowledgeable people. When they saw the scarlet fruits, they immediately cried out in surprise.
The Red Cliff Fruit was a fruit that grew in lava. Due to the special characteristics of the place where it grew, this fruit was more resistant to heat. At the same time, it was also harder to refine and purify it!
In this competition, the time given to the participants for the purification round was only one hour!
In one hour, an average Spirit Breakthrough Stage alchemist would be able to refine the Red Cliff Fruit once. It was already very good!
