After a while, a burning smell wafted out from a few of the cubicles. Following that, a few participants walked out of the cubicles one after another. All of them had bitter expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had used up all the materials and still hadn't succeeded in refining the Huo Long Pill, which meant that they had failed the test.
Only a little more than half the time had passed, but these people had already used up all the materials and still hadn't refined the Huo Long Pill. It was obvious that their standards were much lower than the average third-grade alchemist's.
Kong Zhi and the others were used to this kind of thing, so they weren't surprised.
Their attention was still on Linlong's cubicle.
They still hoped that Linlong could create a miracle, but he disappointed them because there was still no movement from his cubicle.
After a while, they were completely disappointed because there wasn't enough time left to refine the Huo Long Pill. Even instructors like them couldn't refine the Huo Long Pill in the remaining time. In other words, no matter what Linlong did next, he wouldn't be able to pass the test.
"I knew it. It's a waste of the Alliance's resources for those who aren't qualified to participate in this test," Guo Ming said in a strange tone. His face was full of pride, and his previous dejection had been swept away.
As for Xue Fei, he had an even prouder expression on his face. A toad will always be a toad. It wasn't like he could soar to the sky just because he climbed up a high branch, he thought disdainfully.
It was also at this moment that there was finally movement from Linlong's cubicle. However, this movement could only make Kong Zhi and the others shake their heads. They didn't have any expectations for Linlong in such a short time.
When there wasn't much time left until the test, other than Linlong, the rest of the participants had all come out of their cubicles.
Out of the 14 people, a total of five people had successfully refined the Huo Long Pill. Other than Xue Fei's high-grade Huo Long Pill, the rest were middle-grade or low-grade Huo Long Pills. Moreover, they had used up three portions of materials.
It could be said that Xue Fei's strength had far surpassed these people in this test.
Originally, Kong Zhi and the others didn't have any expectations for Linlong to refine the pill. However, they didn't expect that before the last grain of sand in the hourglass fell, a muffled "bang" came from Linlong's cubicle. Linlong had actually refined the Huo Long Pill.
This …
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect Linlong to be able to refine the Huo Dragon Pill in such a short time.
After the initial shock, Kong Zhi, Luo Hong, and the others immediately smiled.
Although Lin Long's refining process was full of twists and turns, he still managed to refine the pill.
However, right now, their hearts were still hanging in suspense. Because before they saw the pill, everything was still unknown. After all, even if the pill was successfully refined, it could still be a failed product.
At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on Lin Long's cubicle. It was also at this moment that Lin Long lifted the curtain and walked out.
Dong Jianwu hurriedly walked over, took the small bottle from Linlong's hands, and entered the compartment to examine it.
"Consuming one set of materials. Time taken: 15 minutes," Dong Jianwu said after coming out.
Then, he brought the small bottle over for Kong Zhi and Luo Hong to check the quality of the pills in the small bottle.
At this time, Guo Ming also couldn't help but come over to take a look.
With one look, Kong Zhi, Luo Hong, and Dong Jianwu's expressions couldn't help but change, because the pills in the small bottle were barely formed. From the looks of it, it looked as if it would turn into powder with the slightest force.
This was obviously the lowest grade Huo Dragon Pill. It could even be said that it couldn't be considered a low-grade Huo Dragon Pill.
But fortunately, it was still a Huo Dragon Pill. Kong Zhi and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the Huo Dragon Pill refined by Lin Long was of such low quality, Xue Fei's expression became even more proud. He looked at Lin Long smugly, only to find that Lin Long still had a calm expression on his face. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. What's the point of pretending? He's just a piece of trash who can't even refine an ordinary Huo Dragon Pill.
At this time, Kong Zhi coughed and said, "Although the Huo Dragon Pill refined by Lin Long is of ordinary quality, it is still a Huo Dragon Pill. Therefore, we will allow Lin Long to pass this test."
As soon as Kong Zhi finished speaking, Xue Fei, who was sitting opposite him, said, "Teacher Kong Zhi, Lin Long's pill looks so inferior. I suspect that it doesn't have the medicinal properties of the Huo Dragon Pill. If it doesn't even have the medicinal properties of the Huo Dragon Pill, isn't it too lacking in consideration to pass this test?"
"Xue Fei is right." Guo Ming immediately nodded in agreement.
Even if Xue Fei didn't bring up this point of view, Guo Ming wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.
Some people at the scene also nodded. After all, anyone could see that this pill was inferior. They all suspected that it didn't have the medicinal properties of the Huo Dragon Pill. If it didn't, how could Lin Long be considered to have passed the test?
Kong Zhi and the others' expressions immediately became a little ugly.
Kong Zhi immediately said, "In that case, let's test the medicinal properties of this Huo Dragon Pill."
So many people had expressed their doubts in their hearts. If he still insisted that Lin Long pass, it would give others an excuse. He could only test the medicinal properties of the Huo Dragon Pill according to these people's wishes.
But did Lin Long's pill really have the medicinal properties of the Huo Dragon Pill? Right now, even Kong Zhi didn't dare to guarantee it.
The Huo Dragon Pill was a type of support pill. It could increase the power of fire-attribute martial skills. Therefore, Kong Zhi looked at a disciple of the Alchemist Alliance beside him and said, "Ye Yuan, come and test the medicinal properties of this pill."
"Yes, Teacher Kong Zhi." The disciple immediately walked out.
"First, show the power of your fire-attribute martial skill." Kong Zhi said.
"Okay." After nodding, the disciple immediately displayed the power of his fire-attribute martial skill.
After that, he took Lin Long's pill from Kong Zhi's hand and swallowed it. After a few breaths of time, he once again displayed his fire-attribute martial skill.
After his demonstration, everyone present was immediately dumbfounded. This was because the power of his second martial skill was obviously twice as strong as the first time. In other words, Lin Long's pill was even comparable to a high-grade Huo Dragon Pill.
"Good, good, good …"
Seeing this situation, Kong Zhi, Luo Hong, and the others immediately cheered. Although they were curious about how Lin Long's seemingly inferior pill could achieve this, it didn't stop them from feeling proud.
"How is this possible?" Guo Ming, Xue Fei, and the others were dumbfounded.
"Ye Yuan, what do you think of the medicinal properties of this pill?" Kong Zhi asked.
The reason why he asked this question was because the user of the pill had a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties than the bystanders.
"Although this pill looks very ordinary, its initial burst of medicinal effects is completely comparable to a high-grade Huo Dragon Pill. The only drawback is that after the burst of medicinal effects, its endurance is too weak. A normal Huo Dragon Pill can definitely be activated seven or eight times, but this pill can only be activated twice at most. In other words, although it has the medicinal properties of a Huo Dragon Pill, it is far inferior to a high-grade Huo Dragon Pill, "Ye Yuan said.
Kong Zhi and Luo Hong nodded. Although they were bystanders, they had rich experience and could see this point. However, this was no longer a big deal. It could only be said that Lin Long's standards were limited, but it didn't mean that he couldn't pass this assessment.
In other words, Lin Long could already be considered a third-grade alchemist.
"Now, I announce that Lin Long has obtained the third-grade alchemist qualification …"
Just as Kong Zhi was about to announce that Lin Long had obtained the third-grade alchemist qualification, Guo Ming suddenly shouted, "Wait."
"Why, Teacher Guo Ming, do you have any objections?" Luo Hong frowned and looked at Guo Ming. Now, he hated Guo Ming more and more.
"I think that Lin Long must have cheated. Otherwise, how could he have refined this pill in such a short time? How could such an extremely inferior pill have the medicinal properties of a Huo Dragon Pill, so …" Guo Ming shouted.
Cheated?
These two words immediately caused the others to whisper. They didn't think of this before, but now that Guo Ming mentioned it, they immediately felt that it was possible.
Because if it wasn't so, there was no way to explain the two doubts raised by Guo Ming.
"So what?" Luo Hong glared at Guo Ming.
Guo Ming, who was glared at by Luo Hong, subconsciously shrank his neck, but thinking that his reason was sufficient, he immediately straightened his back. "So, I suggest that we check the materials used by Lin Long to refine this Huo Dragon Pill, and check whether Lin Long's Rune Space Ring is completely sealed."
"Guo Ming, you … you are slandering me!" Guo Ming's words were obviously slandering Dong Jianwu for not placing a restriction on Lin Long's Rune Space Ring, so Dong Jianwu immediately pointed at Guo Ming and shouted angrily.
However, Guo Ming sneered. "Dong Jianwu, you are on the same side as Kong Zhi. It is naturally reasonable for you to side with Lin Long."
"Okay, okay, then I will let you check." Dong Jianwu finally calmed down when he thought about how he had completely sealed Linlong's Runic Space Ring.
"Okay, Guo Ming, I, Luo Hong, will give you the right to check," Luo Hong said coldly.
He wasn't just forced to say this, because even he had some doubts in his heart after listening to Guo Ming's words.
"Thank you, President." After saying that, Guo Ming immediately walked towards the cubicle where Lin Long was.
In order to prevent Guo Ming from deliberately framing Lin Long, Dong Jianwu and Kong Zhi naturally followed closely behind him.
