A comical examination
Envoy Qing Feng brought Gu Xuan to an ancient palace.
Although this palace was luxurious, it had already experienced too much wind and frost and was already damaged beyond repair.
Envoy Qing Feng and Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Gu Xuan, your talent has indeed shocked me. If it were not for the rules left behind by my master, I would really want to pass the inheritance to you."
Envoy Qing Feng's face was filled with lament. Even when the Flame Demon was still alive, there were countless people who were willing to become his disciple. Among the sea of geniuses, there was no one who could reach Gu Xuan's level.
"According to my master's rules, if you want to obtain his inheritance, you must first have sufficient martial talent. However, my master's inheritance is not as simple as just a martial inheritance. No matter how good your performance in the first assessment is, if you are unable to complete the second and third assessments, I can only focus on nurturing you. However, I will not be able to directly pass on the inheritance to you."
"I don't think so." Gu Xuan smiled faintly.
"Hahaha." Envoy Qing Feng laughed heartily, "You are full of self-confidence. I like your character. Not bad, if it is related to martial arts, you will definitely have no problem. But the key point is that this assessment has nothing to do with martial arts!"
"Oh?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Envoy Qing Feng's expression was full of reverence and lamentation: "My master, the Flame Devil Martial Emperor, is already a peak Emperor level expert. But his more important identity is an alchemist, a seventh grade alchemist!"
After mentioning a seventh tier alchemist, Qing Feng envoy was filled with pride and satisfaction. She glanced at Gu Xuan from the corner of her eyes, hoping to find some surprise and shock in the latter but Gu Xuan just sat there with a smile, as if he did not understand what a seventh tier alchemist meant.
"Gu Xuan, you should know that a tier 7 alchemist already stands at the peak of alchemists. Only a rare existence can stand shoulder to shoulder with my master." Envoy Qing Feng could not help but say.
"He is indeed a peak alchemist." Gu Xuan nodded. The development of alchemy in ancient times was similar to that of today. Back then, a Tier 7 alchemist was even more precious than a Great Emperor.
After all, in ancient times, there were as many Emperors as there were dogs. Great Emperors walked the streets, but there were very few seventh and eighth grade alchemists.
The Flame Demon was only at the peak of the Emperor Level, but he was able to leave behind such an inheritance. This was inseparable from the fact that he was a Seventh Grade Alchemist.
Even though she heard Gu Xuan's praise, but it was far from Gu Xuan's performance that Qing Feng envisioned, which made Qing Feng very helpless.
A seventh grade alchemist was considered a god-like figure in the eyes of ordinary people. However, Gu Xuan was a seventh grade alchemist at a young age in his previous life. Moreover, he comprehended alchemy at the seventh grade realm and became the only seventh grade alchemy grandmaster! The Flame Devil's situation naturally did not affect him much.
Envoy Qing Feng continued, "Because my Master's alchemy skills are strong, the inheritance that he left behind must also be related to alchemy skills. If you do not have talent in alchemy, then you can only miss out on the inheritance."
Envoy Qing Feng shook her head and sighed as her face was filled with regret, "There was once someone who was extremely talented in martial arts. Even though it did not reach your level, but it was also not bad. It was just that in terms of alchemy, I hope you will not repeat the same mistakes."
"In that case, the second test is pill refinement?" Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment before he asked.
"To be precise, it is to detect your talent in alchemy." Envoy Qing Feng nodded and sighed again, "Master's requirement is really too harsh. A martial arts genius is already very rare, how can you also have talent in alchemy at the same time? However, your martial arts talent is too outstanding, as long as you are slightly passable in alchemy, it will be fine."
Qing Feng secretly prayed in her heart. She really could not bear to see a genius like Gu Xuan being eliminated.
Hearing Envoy Qing Feng's confirmation, Gu Xuan smiled and the corners of his mouth raised into a playful smile.
Alchemy assessment?
This Ancient Flame Devil Mansion actually wanted to assess him, an alchemy grandmaster?
This was a little too comical.
"Why, are you very confident in alchemy?" Envoy Qing Feng saw Gu Xuan's expression and was instantly delighted.
"More or less, you can start the assessment now." Gu Xuan nodded and the smile on his face deepened.
"Okay." Envoy Qing Feng nodded and took out a picture book. On the picture book, there were stalks of Spiritual Medicine and the attributes of the Spiritual Medicine were annotated at the side.
"Now, you can combine these Spiritual Medicine. There are a total of 30 pairs. If you combine half of them correctly, you will be considered to have succeeded." Envoy Qing Feng said seriously.
Gu Xuan smiled faintly. The Power of Flame condensed on his fingers and began to move quickly, linking the stalks of Spiritual Medicine.
Seeing the speed of Ling Xun, Envoy Qing Feng's heart was slightly delighted. But after a moment, Envoy Qing Feng's mouth twitched fiercely. The combination of Gu Xuan was completely untraceable, as if it was just randomly linking.
"Gu Xuan, even if you don't understand, don't be in a hurry to try your luck. This thing does not require any alchemy foundation. It only requires you to experience it. Forget it this time, you can choose again."
Envoy Qing Feng said with some displeasure.
Gu Xuan did not have any alchemy foundation, which was "within her expectations". However, Gu Xuan's sloppy and random linking made her a little displeased.
Gu Xuan withdrew the Power of Flame and said with a smile, "I did not choose randomly. The Spiritual Medicine that I combined should have the best effect."
"This …" Envoy Qing Feng's mouth twitched. There were 30 pairs of Spiritual Medicine and none of them were correct. This was the best combination in Gu Xuan's heart. This was even more inaccurate than guessing.
"Gu Xuan, your talent in alchemy is actually so poor. I really have no way to pass down the inheritance to you. However, I can focus on nurturing you. As long as you work hard, there is still hope for you to become master's martial successor. However, it is impossible for you to obtain the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. I can only give you a small portion of the treasures in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion," Envoy Qing Feng said.
Gu Xuan was not interested in the so-called inheritance. He only coveted the many treasures in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. If the treasures could not be given to him, then what was the point?
Gu Xuan pushed that scroll in front of Qing Feng's envoy as he raised his eyebrows and asked, "The combination of Elixirs is varied and there is no fixed format. If it was not like this, then there would not be numerous Alchemists who wanted to search for the secret recipe. You have not heard my understanding so how would you know that my choice is definitely wrong."
Envoy Qing Feng was stunned and shook her head helplessly. What Gu Xuan said was indeed correct. However, that was something that only his master, the Flame Demon, could consider.
