"You really got it right?"
The elder exclaimed, his eyes were full of shock.
After he spoke, the entire place silenced. Even a pin drop could be heard.
He got it right?
He only used a few breaths of time and he got it right?!
Everyone was in awe as well. All eyes were fixated on Ling Xian, full of disbelief.
Though the Dan of Speed was only of the ninth realm and most of the spiritual medicine was given, the alchemist only needed to make up for the rest of the spiritual medicine. Despite that, it was still a very difficult task.
This could be seen from the expressions of the people present. Most people have been here for a while, but no matter how much they pondered and wrung their brains, they could not figure out what the rest of the spiritual medicine was.
Yet from the moment Ling Xian sat down to when he stood up, he only used a few breaths of time to figure out the answer. How unbelievable was this?
Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
Figuring out the rest of the spiritual medicine wasn't much. If they spent a little more time, most people here could do it. What was truly shocking was that Ling Xian only used a few breaths of time!
Remember that before Ling Xian, nobody had thought of an answer in such a short amount of time!
This naturally shocked everyone. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of disbelief.
However, reality was before their eyes. Even the examiner was shocked, why would they lie to themselves? No matter how much they didn't want to accept it, they had to!
Therefore, the way everyone looked at Ling Xian changed. There was shock, jealousy, and fear.
Other than these emotions, those who mocked Ling Xian and thought he had given up were feeling ashamed. They felt their faces burning, as if they had been slapped in the face.
After all, they thought Ling Xian knew he had no way to answer and chose to give up. But reality had proven everything. It wasn't that he didn't have the ability to answer, it was that his abilities were far too dominating!
So dominating that he only used a few breaths of time to answer the question everyone couldn't answer for a long time!
"Unbelievable. Within a few breaths of time, you figured out the answer. How shocking." The elder exhaled a long sigh. Even with his calm and collected mentality, he couldn't help but to be shocked by Ling Xian.
Though using a few breaths of time to analyze the rest of the spiritual Dan of the ninth realm was something he could do. But how old was he? What realm was that?
He was already over three hundred years old this year and was a Third Realm Alchemist. His alchemy skills were extremely profound. Ling Xian, on the other hand, was merely a 20 something year old alchemist of the sixth realm.
However, he had accomplished such a magnificent feat. How could the old man not be shocked?
"You are flattering me. I was merely lucky and happened to think of it." Ling Xian smiled humbly.
"You don't have to be modest."
The elder shook his head, his eyes were full of admiration, "This isn't luck, it's capability. The Haste Pill is a pill formula created by the five great clans at the last minute. Other than a few examiners, no one else would know about it. "
"Furthermore, in order to increase the difficulty, we purposely left the last medicinal ingredient for many kinds of spiritual herbs that could increase one's speed. The purpose is to confuse the public and make the Alchemists unable to make a decision. "
The old man stroked his beard and praised, "And you, in just a few short breaths, confirmed that the last spirit herb was the Speed Grass. This not only shows your attainments in the Dao of alchemy, it also shows your confidence. "
Hearing this, Ling Xian faintly grinned and didn't say anything.
Just like the elder said, there were many spiritual herbs that were suitable for the last ingredient of the Dan of Haste. But he was certain that it was the Speed Grass. This naturally showed his confidence.
The result was not wrong. This alone was enough to prove how capable he was with alchemy.
"Senior, I wonder if I passed?" Ling Xian asked with a smile.
"Of course you passed." The elder's eyes were full of admiration. The more he looked at Ling Xian, the more satisfied he was, "If you cannot pass with such a good result, then there's no point in hosting this gathering."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. Ignoring the elder's compliments, he said, "Since I passed, then can I participate in the second test?"
"Of course you can. Give me your token." The elder nodded softly. After Ling Xian handed over the token, he slid his finger across the surface and left a purple mark.
This meant Ling Xian had passed the first test.
"Alright, take this token and go over there to participate in the second round." The old man smiled and pointed at the small path in the east.
Ling Xian nodded, picked up the token, and walked towards the East.
He had passed the first test. Next was the second test. If he passes this, he will be able to enter the Realm of Alchemy and compete against the other geniuses.
Watching Ling Xian leave, the elder's eyes were full of anticipation, "What a Heaven's Favorite. I sure want to see if you can still answer questions at such insane speed in the second test."
"The first test was about completing the recipe. I wonder what the second test will be."
Ling Xian walked forward slowly as he thought about the content of the second test. Though he didn't really care what the test was, he hoped that the second test would be the same as the first test.
Because he thought that completing the recipe was the easiest thing to do.
Luckily, nobody knew what he was thinking. Or else they would be puking blood from anger. Remember that to other alchemists, completing the recipe was extremely difficult. It was even more difficult than brewing a high quality Dan.
However, to Ling Xian, who was knowledgeable and had the Essence of Herbalism, this was without a doubt, a very easy task.
Therefore, he really hoped that the second test would also be about completing the recipe. That way, he could save a lot of time and effort.
After he entered the second test, his eyes brightened. Because the setup here was identical to the first test. Many people were frowning as well, as if they were thinking hard about the test.
"It looks like the second test will be the same as the first test. I will also need to complete the recipe." Ling Xian grinned. He walked up to the examiner and handed over his token.
This time, the examiner was a middle-aged man. His face was square and his expression was stern. He looked like a cold judge.
"Hmm?"
After Ling Xian handed over his token, the middle-aged man gasped. His eyes flashed with shock. It wasn't because he saw through Ling Xian's terrifying cultivation level, it was because of the purple mark on the token.
Even though the last ingredient for the Dan of Speed can be answered correctly, the examiner will pass the first test. But based on the time everyone handed in their test, the examiner will divide them into different grades and leave a mark on the token.
The lowest grade is red, the middle grade is blue, and the highest grade is purple.
Therefore, after seeing the purple mark on the token, the middle-aged man was surprised. This was the first time he saw someone pass the first test with the highest score since he hosted the second test.
Staring at Ling Xian, he didn't say anything. He pointed at the table on the west side and said, "The second test will be the same as the first test. Go there."
Ling Xian nodded and walked to the table. He picked up the spiritual paper on the table.
Then, he couldn't help but frown.
