"Great God, please retract your supernatural power!"
All the geniuses said in unison. All the astonishment they felt towards Ling Xian was condensed into one statement that echoed through the clouds and shook the mountains.
It was a simple sentence, but it represented the extreme shock in everyone's hearts, as well as the helplessness they felt. It was obvious that they didn't want to be shocked anymore.
What could they do? Ling Xian was far too insane. Nobody doubted that if he continues to grind, all the spiritual medicines in the Mountain of a Thousand Spiritual Medicine will be recognized by him.
If that really happens, they doubted if they can handle that level of shock. This was why most people spoke in unison and advised Ling Xian to stop farming points.
This number was already heaven-defying enough!
"Oh well, I have already shocked everyone. There's no point in me continuing."
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He also thought that the number of one million was enough to shock everyone. Plus, during the process of identifying spiritual medicines, he had found the legendary Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores.
Therefore, giving up wasn't a big deal.
Therefore, he slowly retracted his Qi and his Essence of Herbalism returned to normal. He no longer planned on shocking everyone.
At this, everyone sighed in relief. Even Cao Feng, who was full of hatred towards Ling Xian, did the same.
They really didn't want to be shocked anymore. Especially when they thought about how he might be able to identify the entire Mountain of a Thousand Spiritual Medicine, they felt more and more depressed. Now that Ling Xian was no longer identifying spiritual medicines, they naturally sighed in relief.
However, they still felt a little depressed. Because the number of one million was far too heavy. Like a mountain, it pressed down on their hearts and made it hard for them to even breathe.
Especially Cao Yu, who was hostile towards Ling Xian, and the person chosen by the Shen Xian. Their breathing was heavy and their bodies were shaking.
It was because of shock and also because of hopelessness.
One million!
This number of points was more than everyone else here combined. Even if an alchemist was here, they might not be able to get such a crazy number!
Therefore, why wouldn't the two of them feel hopeless?
It wasn't just them. Everyone else felt the same. Against such a shocking number, they couldn't even muster up any thoughts of catching up.
"Insane number of points, insane person. We cannot catch up and we cannot catch up."
"That's right. Let alone surpassing him, even walking side by side with him isn't something we can achieve."
"That's right. We can only look at his back and bow down to him."
Everyone present was helpless as they looked at the figure in front of them, who was clearly skinny, but was currently as tall and imposing as a mountain. All of them could not help but sigh.
The people in the outside world were also sighing.
At first, they thought Ling Xian was a piece of trash, a piece of trash who didn't have the courage to run away. Therefore, they mocked and insulted him.
Yet before their eyes, Ling Xian merely used half an hour to earn a million points. This was, without a doubt, a powerful counterattack. It was like a huge slap on everyone's face.
It made them feel a burning pain on their faces. Their hearts were filled with shame, and they wished they could find a hole to hide in.
"Unbelievable. As far as I know, I don't think there has ever been a heaven-defying score of one million since the Elixir Gathering was held."
"Indeed. The Elixir Gathering has been held dozens of times, but there has never been such an abnormal score. This young man is really nature-defying."
"Unbelievable. Just what is inside his brain? Could it be an encyclopedia of spiritual medicine? Or else how could he recognize a million different spiritual medicines? "
"I think so too. Don't forget, he entered the Realm of Alchemy, which means he is no older than 40. A young man who is not even 40 can recognize a million different spiritual medicines. How unbelievable is this? "
Everyone in the outside world discussed and exclaimed over Ling Xian's powerfulness.
Remember that recognizing spiritual medicines may seem easy, but in reality, it was a test of an alchemist's knowledge. Normally speaking, even a grandmaster alchemist may not be able to recognize a million different spiritual medicines. Yet Ling Xian could. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
Of course, this didn't mean Ling Xian was on par with the grandmasters. It was just that he, who possessed the Essence of Herbalism, did not pale next to any grandmaster alchemist in terms of spiritual medicine!
In fact, he was even better than them!
After all, the Essence of Herbalism was a heaven-defying item. In the entire world, he was the only one with it. If it didn't have heaven-defying abilities, how could it be called the only one in the world?
"What a genius alchemist. Even I cannot recognize a million different spiritual medicines." The Cao Clan Leader softly sighed. Then, he exchanged glances with the other four clan leaders. They all saw the shock and speculation in each other's eyes.
The five of them were important figures in the City of Dan. Their knowledge of alchemy, in particular, was extraordinary compared to normal people. Therefore, they had some guesses and wondered if Ling Xian had the legendary Essence of Herbalism.
After all, he was far too young. Even if he was exposed to spiritual medicine since he was in his mother's womb, it would be hard for him to recognize a million different spiritual medicines. Remember that this was something even grandmasters of alchemy may not be able to do!
Therefore, the five of them naturally had their own guesses.
Other than them, Fu Di and Shen Xian were also guessing.
"What an unbelievable score. If I am not wrong, this young man has the legendary Essence of Herbalism." Yun Jian softly smiled. Though his expression appeared calm, upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a trace of shock on his face.
"The Essence of Herbalism."
Fu Di spoke slowly. There was some admiration in his serious eyes, "Other than this Essence of Herbalism, nothing else can help him achieve such a result at his age."
"This young man sure is lucky. There are only seven Essences of Herbalism in the world and every single one of them is unique." Shen Xian softly sighed, "I cannot believe that the Essence of Herbalism, which countless alchemists dream of, is on him."
"That is everyone's fate."
Fu Di's head began to emit light, making him look like the reincarnation of a Buddha. He smiled, "It seems like my bet that he will win the competition was the right one."
"That may not be the case. This is merely the first test." Shen Xian shook his head, "Though the Essence of Herbalism is heaven-defying, it is limited to spiritual medicine. Whether or not he can win the competition will depend on his alchemy skills."
"I believe that his alchemy skills will shock everyone." Fu Di grinned. Instantly, golden lotuses began to appear in midair. They looked extremely mysterious and strange.
At this, Yun Jian's expression froze, "Lotuses bloom from a smile. Your Zen Dao is getting more and more profound."
"Your Dao of Xiao Yao is no weaker than mine." Fu Di grinned and didn't speak anymore.
At that moment, the figure of the Cao Family's Patriarch flashed and disappeared from the high platform. When he reappeared, he was already at the Realm of Alchemy.
Then, he didn't waste any time and announced the result of the first test.
"The time for the test is up. I now announce that the winner of the first test is Ling Xian!" The Cao Clan Leader stared at Ling Xian with a complex gaze.
No matter what, he had never imagined that the first place in the first round of the exam would actually be obtained by an unknown person.
After he announced this result, not only did everyone stop discussing, they instead fell into silence. They could no longer use words to express how shocked they were. Or in other words, they didn't know what to say.
However, the outside world was cheering.
Even though they all knew that Ling Xian was 100% the winner, when the Cao Clan Leader personally announced it, they still felt happy.
This was because Ling Xian's name was unknown and he had no background. Therefore, the normal people treated him like he was their hope. Now that he had won the first place, of course everyone was cheering.
"First?"
Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. He didn't feel proud at all. For one, he didn't care about fame. For two, he didn't think this was anything to be proud of.
In terms of identifying spiritual medicines, he was undefeatable. Why would he become arrogant just because he won the first place?
"The first place prize is a Dan recipe for a fifth realm spiritual Dan. It will be given out after the gathering of the alchemists. Please don't be impatient." The Cao Clan Leader smiled at Ling Xian in a friendly manner.
His kind and gentle demeanor was the complete opposite of his usual coldness.
What could they do? Ling Xian's performance today was far too heaven-defying. Plus, he was of the completion level. Naturally, he gained everyone's respect. Even the Cao Clan Leader, as one of the five leaders of the City of Dan, had to be polite.
"Cao Clan Leader, you are being too polite." Ling Xian grinned.
He didn't really feel anything for the Dan recipe. He had gained enough from this trip. At the very least, he had fulfilled his promise with Hong Yan Xin.
The Cao Clan Leader smiled and shifted his gaze towards everyone, "The second place goes to Hong Zhuang Luo, she received a sixth realm Dan recipe. The third place goes to Cao Yu, he received a seventh realm Dan recipe. "
Just then, Hong Zhuang Luo nodded softly. She glanced at Ling Xian but it was full of complexity.
Cao Yu, on the other hand, tightened his fists. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of hatred.
"Alright, the top three have been announced. Those who have reached 100,000 points can stay and participate in the second round of the test."
The Cao Clan Leader spoke softly and shifted his gaze towards those who had a bitter expression, "As for those who haven't reached 100,000 points, I can only apologize."
Hearing this, those who haven't reached 100,000 points felt even more bitter. But there was nothing they could do. Who could they blame for not being capable?
"Alright, the first round of the test has ended. Those who stayed, please rest. After an hour, the second round of the test will begin. "
The Cao Clan Leader grinned, "The second round tests the control of fire and the use of one's Qi. Please be prepared."
Then, he rolled up his sleeve and sent those who didn't pass out of the Realm of Alchemy. Then, his silhouette faded away and once again disappeared from where he stood.
"The manipulation of the Qi and fire?" Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He then walked to the side and prepared to take a short nap.
After all, he had just used up a lot of energy and his soul was a little weak. Naturally, he needed to rest.
However, before he could close his eyes, he saw Hong Zhuang Luo walking towards him.
