In the passageway, the woman and man had their heads lowered, both of them feeling extremely ashamed and embarrassed.
The woman, in particular, wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide.
At this moment, she finally realized that she had been taking things too seriously.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for someone under 200 years old to become a grandmaster. But there are exceptions to everything.
Ling Xian, without a doubt, was that exception.
"Here are five Dans. Take them." Ling Xian waved his hand and the five Dans flew towards the man.
Then, he marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
At this, the man and the woman exchanged glances and saw the shock and anticipation in each other's eyes.
Ling Xian merely used half an hour to pass the first test. It wasn't hard to imagine how shocking his alchemy skills were.
Therefore, the two of them had even more anticipation.
After some time, Ling Xian saw 10 spiritual medicines and a spiritual paper.
Just like before, the requirement to pass the test was to brew five Dans with 10 spiritual medicines.
The only difference was that the Dans must be brewed with one's palm and the quality must be at least 90 percent. Also, they must be of the first realm.
"This is far too difficult. Even a grandmaster cannot do this." The woman's heart skipped a beat. Brewing a Dan of the first realm with one's palm was already extremely difficult. Achieving 90 percent quality was even more difficult.
"I finally understand why nobody has passed this test after so many years." The man bitterly smiled. Who can pass such a difficult test?
"The second test is a little difficult." Ling Xian faintly smiled. To him, the first test was as easy as eating and drinking. He wasn't the least bit interested.
"A little difficult?" The woman clicked her tongue. Such a difficult test to Ling Xian was only a little difficult. That was far too unbelievable.
If this was before, she would've questioned him. But now, she had learned her lesson.
Even if she didn't believe him, she wouldn't say anything in case she wanted to find a hole to hide in again.
"I have never brewed a Dan of the first realm with my palm. This is a good opportunity." Ling Xian grinned. Though he has never tried, he was 100 percent confident.
If the first test was like eating and drinking, then the second test was like moving a mountain.
To a meditational cultivator, moving a mountain was as difficult as climbing up to the sky. But to Ling Xian, who was of the sage realm, moving a mountain was as easy as flipping his palm.
Immediately, the Godly Flame rose from his palm and melted the 10 spiritual medicines.
Then, Ling Xian held his breath and began to brew in silence.
The difficulty of this round did not lie in the level, nor did it lie in the quality of the pill, but in palm concoction.
Compared to refining an alchemy furnace, refining pills with one's palm was undoubtedly several times more difficult. Not only did it require profound attainments, but it also required an extremely high level of control.
Ling Xian had these two qualities.
Be it his control or his attainments, he was the best in the world.
Therefore, after merely an hour, Ling Xian was done with it.
Five first-grade pills floated in his hand, exuding a fragrant aroma.
Those nine Pill Veins were as dazzling as the eternal sun, causing the hearts of the woman and the man to shake, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
This was insane. Ling Xian only used two hours to pass such a difficult test. What a monster!
"Unbelievable. Just how profound is his attainment?" The woman's heart was in turmoil.
"Without a doubt, he is an alchemy grandmaster." The man exhaled a mouthful of murky air. Thinking about how Ling Xian, who was less than 200 years old, became a grandmaster, he found it hard to believe.
"Grandmaster …" The woman was in a daze. She wanted to argue, but she had no words.
Other than a Grandmaster, who else could make a ninth-ranked elixir with ninth-ranked efficacy in two hours?
"Good thing I didn't question him …" The woman bitterly smiled. If she questioned him, her face would be burning again.
Then, she shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian. Seeing his calm expression and not a trace of arrogance, she couldn't help but be startled.
She asked herself, if she brewed a ninth-ranked spiritual Dan, her tail would be flying up to the sky.
Ling Xian, on the other hand, was calm. Ignoring everything else, his mentality alone was miles ahead of her.
"I wonder what the next round will be …" Ling Xian muttered to himself. The reason why he wasn't arrogant was because to him, this was nothing.
Which Saint Realm cultivator would be proud of moving a mountain?
"If the third round requires me to brew a perfect first realm Dan, then it will be troublesome."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. With his current level of attainment, he could brew a perfect first realm Dan, but he cannot guarantee that every single one of them would be perfect.
"You'll find out soon enough." Ling Xian grinned. He waved his hand and handed five Dans to the man.
Though these Dans were ninth-ranked, they were nothing to him. He could brew them anytime he wanted.
"You're giving these to us as well?" The man was startled. Seventh-ranked spiritual Dans of the third realm were nothing to him. But ninth-ranked spiritual Dans of the first realm were precious.
"Take them," Ling Xian said softly. He then marched forward in giant steps.
After some time, a piece of paper entered their sight. After reading the words on it, the man and the woman fell into a daze.
Ling Xian's expression was strange.
This was because the requirement to pass this round was to brew a Dan with spiritual energy.
There were no restrictions on the level or quality. As long as the Dan was brewed with spiritual energy, it would pass.
To Ling Xian, this was easier than the first round.
"Deliberately! He is definitely doing this on purpose! "
"How can spiritual energy be brewed into a Dan? That's impossible! "
The woman was furious, thinking that the leader of the Holy Land was doing this on purpose.
After all, she was not an ancient array cultivator. Based on what she knew, only spiritual medicine could be used to make a Dan. Spiritual energy was impossible.
"Ehem, ehem, junior sister, I heard that grandmasters who understand the source of energy can make a Dan out of any flower or grass." The man coughed. Though he thought it was unbelievable, it was the truth.
"That's not possible. How can ordinary flowers and grass turn into Dans?" The woman froze.
"He is right. As long as you understand the source of energy, anything in the world can be made into a Dan." Ling Xian faintly grinned. He was a grandmaster who understood the source of energy. Spiritual energy aside, he could even brew a rock into a Dan.
He flapped around his sleeve. In the blink of an eye, a spiritual Dan appeared in his hand.
Though it was not even a ninth-ranked spiritual Dan, it was made with spiritual energy and fulfilled the requirement to pass this round.
"It really is made with spiritual energy …" The woman was tongue-tied and shocked.
The man was also shocked to a point of no return.
Though he knew that a grandmaster who understood the source of energy could make a Dan out of anything, not even in his dreams did he think that Ling Xian was a grandmaster who understood the source of energy.
To be able to step into the grandmaster realm before the age of 200 was one thing, but he also understood the source of energy. If this news gets out, countless alchemists would want to die from embarrassment.
The man shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian as if he was looking at a monster.
The woman reacted the same way.
"It's no wonder nobody has passed the test after so many years. It's because it's prepared for grandmasters."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. A Grandmaster may not be able to understand the Original Force, but if they do, they are definitely a Grandmaster.
This proved that the test of alchemy was made for grandmasters.
"I cannot believe you are a grandmaster who understood the source of energy." The man exclaimed, completely convinced.
