Silence!
Silence!
Deathly silence!
In the vast plaza, everyone held their breath as they stared in shock at the silver-white elixir in the youth's hand. The expressions on their faces were exceptionally interesting.
"Crack!"
On the high platform, Ning Hai stood up abruptly. The chair he was sitting on was shattered into pieces!
"Yue 'er … you … did it!" Ning Hai's eyes were slightly moist as he gazed at the skinny youth on the round platform.
"Ning Yue, well done!" The head elder of the Ning family, Ning Tang, had a look of excitement on his face.
Ning Hai did not hide the excitement on his face. "With Yue 'er's talent in alchemy, it is not impossible for him to pass the assessment and enter Danwu College!"
Upon hearing Ning Hai's words, the younger generation of the Ning family paused for a moment. They clenched their fists and looked at the youth on the round platform with admiration.
The younger generation of the Ning family was fortunate to have Ning Yue's support. Otherwise, they would have been utterly humiliated today!
"No, he did not refine a qi-gathering elixir … it seems to be … a qi-gathering elixir!"
The silence lasted for a full minute before it was broken by an incredulous voice.
Immediately, the crowd began to clamor.
"Am I blind? Did Ning Yue refine a qi-gathering elixir?"
"You're not blind. This really happened."
"Look, the patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Zhen, his face has turned green! Lin Shun had already refined a qi-gathering elixir, but who would have thought that Ning Yue would be so abnormal as to snatch away the spot for the assessment in the Frozen Cave? How could he not be angry? "
Whoosh!
The crowd's gaze shifted from Ning Yue to Lin Zhen in unison.
Being stared at by so many people, Lin Zhen did not conceal the anger on his face. However, the shock in his eyes was not the least bit inferior to the others!
No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that what Ning Yue was holding was not a qi-gathering elixir, but a qi-gathering elixir!
Ning Yue is not a first-grade alchemist yet, right?
A high-level alchemy apprentice was actually able to refine a first-grade elixir. Even in Danwu College, there might not be anyone with such talent!
However, this nerve-wracking truth was exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
On the other side, the excitement on Lin Shun's face abruptly disappeared. He stared dumbly at the youth in front of him and cried out involuntarily, "Qi Gathering Pill, this … is impossible!"
"Hu!"
Looking at the white elixir in his hand, Ning Yue let out a sigh of relief. The astonished gazes from the surroundings reminded him of the time when he was promoted to the peak of the ninth level Alchemist.
Now that the heavens had given him another chance, he would definitely grasp it!
Glancing at the dumbfounded Lin Shun on the other side, Ning Yue smiled and slowly walked down the round platform under the gaze of the crowd.
"Cough cough!"
Ning Hai let out two dry coughs to draw the attention of the crowd.
"Hehe, Patriarch Lin, since Yue 'er has refined the qi-gathering elixir within the allotted time, then the fifth place belongs to the Ning family," Ning Hai said with a bright smile.
Although Lin Zhen was extremely unwilling, the truth was right in front of him and he could do nothing about it.
"Hmph! We … "With a cold grunt, Lin Zhen turned around and walked out of the arena.
"Wait!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Lin Feng beside him said in a low voice, "I want to check the elixir that Ning Yue has refined! I suspect that he has not refined a qi-gathering elixir! It's a fake! "
Whoosh!
Lin Feng's words caused the originally quiet arena to become noisy once again.
"Fake? Could it be that the elixir that Ning Yue has refined is not a qi-gathering elixir? "
"That's hard to say. After all, Ning Yue's cultivation is only at Body Tempering Stage Five, and he has already failed once. There's no way that he can refine a qi-gathering elixir a second time."
"Maybe this elixir was hidden in Ning Yue's hands all along, and he took it out at the last moment to turn the tide!"
"That's right, check the elixir!"
"Check the elixir!"
In an instant, the crowd became rowdy and clamored for the elixir to be checked.
Looking at Ning Yue provocatively, Lin Feng's lips curled up and he thought to himself, "How can you refine a qi-gathering elixir with a poisoned body! This time, I will make sure that your reputation is ruined! "
Ning Yue stopped in his tracks and said leisurely, "It's not that I can't check the elixir, but Young Master Lin, why are you slandering me like this?"
Lin Feng laughed coldly and said, "Slandering you? Do you think you're worthy? Just one sentence, hand over the elixir! Let me check! "
Ning Yue scoffed coldly, "Who do you think you are! A mere alchemy apprentice, do you think you have the right to check a first-grade elixir? "
"You!" Clenching his fists, Lin Feng said coldly, "Fine! Fine! I really don't have the right to check a first-grade elixir, Liu Shan! "
An elder dressed in black walked out from the crowd. The two-star badge on the elder's shoulder indicated that he was a second-grade alchemist!
In the Sky Demon Territory, martial cultivation was divided into the Tempered Body, Acquired Stage, Connate Stage, True Martial Stage, Primal Core Stage, Yin Yang Stage, Creation Stage, Human Stage, Earth Stage, and Sky Stage.
The ten grades of alchemists corresponded to the martial realm. Their abilities might be slightly lower, but their status was very high.
Raising an eyebrow at Ning Yue, Lin Feng said proudly, "Liu Shan is a second-grade alchemist and a guest elder of the Lin family. Does he have the right to check a first-grade elixir?"
Ning Yue shrugged. "It's just so-so."
"Hmm?" Frowning, Liu Shan casually glanced at the white elixir in Ning Yue's hand and said coldly, "Youngsters these days really don't know their place. Even though the Qi-gathering Elixir is only a first-grade elixir, the process of refining it is extremely complicated. Even I have some difficulty refining it, and you want to refine it? Let me check the elixir. "
"Hmph! Hand the elixir to you? " Ning Yue snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "The elixir is in my hands. Since you are a second-grade alchemist, you can easily tell if the elixir in my hand is a first-grade Qi-gathering Elixir."
Whoosh!
Ning Yue's words instantly caused an uproar in the square.
One had to know that Liu Shan had just passed the Alchemy Union's second-grade alchemist exam three days ago and was a legitimate second-grade alchemist.
He had asked Ning Yue for the elixir, but Ning Yue had refused to give it to him. Could it be that he was guilty and the elixir he refined was really trash?
"I didn't think that Ning Yue might have refined a trash elixir."
"That's right, you can't judge a book by its cover."
"Ning Yue, hurry up and hand the elixir to Master Liu. Let him check it properly!"
"Hehe, if Master Liu finds out that the elixir is fake, then the Ning family's quota for the Frozen Cave exam will fall into the hands of the Lin family."
Ning Yue's face darkened and he said coldly, "Your name is Liu Shan?"
Slightly stunned, a trace of anger flashed across Liu Shan's face.
In Tianxuan City, other than the few old farts of the Alchemy Union, almost everyone had to call him "Master Liu".
