After Yang Wu passed the second test, Xia Yun 'an could conclude that he was an alchemist.
However, Xia Yun 'an didn't think too deeply about what level of alchemist he was. This youth was at most at the level of a medicine king, and he should be a youth who failed in the alchemy competition.
Xia Yun 'an brought Yang Wu through the last test. Only by passing the third test and proving that he was a medicine king could he enter the level test.
"There are three sets of herbs here. As long as you can use them to refine a king pill, you can participate in the alchemist level test." Xia Yun 'an pointed at the messy pile of herbs.
There were three sets of herbs here, and there were also some unimportant herbs. He had to pick out the useful herbs and make a set of king pill herbs before he could refine it.
This was a test to condense the pill, and it also included the first two tests. First, identify the herbs, then refine the pill.
Yang Wu looked at the herbs and nodded, "No problem."
"Hehe, you have one hour. I'll wait for you." Xia Yun 'an looked at the calm Yang Wu and couldn't help but increase the difficulty of the third test.
Refining a normal king pill required at least two hours. Xia Yun 'an reduced the time by half because he wanted to see what was so great about the youth that had caught the eye of that lord.
Yang Wu didn't have any objections. He didn't make a move and directly used his soul power to pick out the herbs he needed.
"Using the soul to control the medicine!" Xia Yun exclaimed in his heart.
This was a method that only Little Saint Alchemists could do. Only heaven level alchemists with outstanding talent had the qualifications to do this. The youth in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, but he was able to do this. It really made him feel shocked.
"Fire." Yang Wu lightly shouted. A true fire appeared and burned a nearby medicine cauldron.
Yang Wu didn't dare to use his Blue Enchantress. That was a sacred flame. This high level king cauldron couldn't withstand its burning, so he could only use his Xuan Qi to form a true fire to refine the pill.
Even if it was a True Fire condensed from profound qi, it was still stronger than many fire seeds. He needed to continue suppressing the firepower.
Stalk after stalk of herbs quickly flew into the medicinal cauldron. The True Fire was sometimes big and sometimes small. He controlled the temperature of the fire to refine the herbs. His movements were incomparably smooth and skillful. There was no doubt that he had the demeanor of a master.
Xia Yun 'an, who was at the side, could not help but view Yang Wu in a new light. He thought to himself, If he really is a Heavenly Alchemist, it might not be bad to consider taking him in as a disciple.
Xia Yun 'an was a member of Confusion City's Xia Family. Originally, he had the opportunity to take over the position of Family Head, but he resolutely gave it up and chose to become an elder of the Apothecary Alliance. At the same time, he was also the Altar Master of this branch. He secretly supported the Xia Family's development. It was much better than him being the Family Head.
Although Xia Yun 'an was suspected of abusing his position for personal gain, he still did many things for the Apothecary Alliance.
Yang Wu successfully condensed a King Pill within an hour. Moreover, it was a Third Tribulation King Pill. If it weren't for the array isolating this seclusion room, there would definitely be heavenly lightning descending.
Xia Yun 'an looked at the furnace of flawless pills and was incomparably shocked. This was definitely an Apothecary who had polished himself to perfection in the field of Medicine King. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to refine such good pills. Furthermore, there were as many as 18 pills. This success rate was somewhat high.
If he knew that Yang Wu was still not satisfied with this, who knew how he would feel?
After all, Yang Wu really had not done his best.
"Does this count as passing?" Yang Wu looked at Xia Yun 'an and asked.
Xia Yun 'an looked at Yang Wu with an incomparably gentle gaze. He said to Yang Wu, "Yang Wu, with your alchemy skills, the title of Newcomer Pill King is definitely yours to participate in the alchemy competition. Why don't you participate?"
"Uh … My disciple is participating, so I won't be participating." Yang Wu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Your disciple? I see that your bone age is only 22 years old. Could it be that you can already refine Heaven Pills? "Xia Yun 'an asked.
Just now, he had a thought that he wanted to take Yang Wu as his disciple.
Now that he heard Yang Wu say that he already had a disciple, he was slightly surprised.
"Heaven Pills can also be refined." Yang Wu casually replied.
Xia Yun 'an looked at Yang Wu's expression and felt that Yang Wu was somewhat arrogant. He didn't bother with this matter and arranged for Yang Wu to take the assessment first. At the end, he would reveal his identity as a Little Saint Apothecary. He believed that Yang Wu would kneel down and acknowledge him as his master.
"Young man, don't bite off more than you can chew." Xia Yun 'an said and brought Yang Wu to another location to take the alchemist assessment.
Yang Wu still didn't have an alchemist badge, so he was equivalent to an alchemist that wasn't recognized by the Alchemist Union. If he wanted to obtain an alchemist rank, he had to raise it level by level.
This was because he had already refined a Pill King and confirmed his identity as a Medicine King. However, he still needed to refine a top-notch Pill King and obtain a King Grade badge before he had the qualifications to challenge for the Heaven Grade badge.
Yang Wu didn't mind. For him, this was just a matter of lifting a finger.
What he wanted to challenge for was the Saint Apothecary badge and increase the foundation of the Yang Clan and the Heavenly Palace.
This time, Xia Yun 'an didn't personally supervise Yang Wu's refining. Instead, he sent a deacon to watch over Yang Wu's alchemy assessment. He and the drunk little old man gathered at the top of the manor's tallest pavilion and looked down at the manor's alchemy field. Yang Wu was rapidly refining pills.
"Elder Zui, is this brat really worth paying attention to?" Xia Yun 'an looked at the little old man respectfully and asked.
The little old man had already woken up. He was lying on his side by a railing. His cloudy eyes had become clear, and there was a flicker of light in them from time to time. He didn't look drunk at all. He loved alcohol. No matter if it was good wine or bad wine, he could get drunk until he got drunk. Moreover, he had a strange habit. When he drank a good wine that he really liked, he would directly fall to the ground drunk. This skill of getting drunk wasn't something that anyone could learn.
Everyone here called him "Elder Zui." Those who weren't familiar with him called him "Elder Zui." He didn't mind at all. However, if one knew his identity, they would definitely obediently call him "Lord Elder Zui." He had an extraordinary position in the Alchemist Union. There was a reason why he had appeared in Confusion City.
"This brat is born with a good appearance. He's worth paying attention to," Elder Zui replied.
"Elder Zui, could it be that you've taken a fancy to this child?" Xia Yun 'an asked again.
He knew that Elder Zui had come this time to accept a disciple, so he asked this question.
"I've taken a fancy to him. I just don't know if this child is willing to take me as his master."
"Hehe, there are so many people who want to take Elder Zui as their master. If he knew your identity, he would definitely take you as his master."
"That might not be the case."
"That's right. Didn't you find any good seedlings in the pill refinery field? For example, that child from my Xia Clan. "
"Don't recommend them. Those children are all average. There are one or two who are not bad. Unfortunately, they already have a master and aren't this lord's cup of tea."
…
The Alchemist Union's deacon's eyes became blurred. He muttered, "So beautiful, so comfortable. Every movement is so harmonious. Every glance is so moving. Who in this world can be so peerless? Who in the heavens can compare to him …"
Those who didn't know better would think that he was looking at a peerless beauty.
As it turned out, he was watching Yang Wu refine pills, and became intoxicated.
This deacon was a Heavenly Alchemist, and his alchemy skills were not bad. However, when he saw Yang Wu's smooth alchemy skills, he was also deeply attracted.
He had seen many alchemists refine pills, and there was even no lack of Little Saint Alchemists. Their alchemy skills were not as elegant and enchanting as this youth in front of him.
A cauldron of King Pills was quickly refined.
This was a top-notch King Pill. It was also a Third Tribulation Pill, and every pill was flawless.
That deacon looked at these pills and revealed a shocked expression. Then, he pulled Yang Wu's hand and held it in his palm, saying, "Little Brother Yang Wu, you are really too handsome when you refine pills."
Yang Wu felt goosebumps appear on his skin. He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Can I take the Heavenly Alchemist test now?"
The deacon did not respond to Yang Wu's words. His eyes burned as he asked, "You still haven't answered my question. Can you teach me? I also want to become as handsome as you."
Yang Wu instantly wanted to vomit. He cursed in his heart, "Could it be that this old fellow has a homosexual fetish?"
The other party didn't look sixty, but he was at least fifty-eight. He still wanted to be as handsome as him. Was this possible?
"My alchemy skills are so-so. You should hurry up and arrange the next test for me. I don't have time to waste here," Yang Wu said sternly.
The deacon still wanted to say something, but when he heard the instructions, his expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to waste any more time and quickly got down to business, "You've concocted a peak grade three tribulation King Pill, so you can receive a 'Gold Yellow Jade Badge'. If you want to continue the test, please continue concocting Heaven Pills. The higher the grade of Heaven Pills you concoct, the higher the badge you will receive." After pausing for a moment, he said with a trace of resentment, "I suggest you rest for a bit. Don't force yourself. What we alchemists avoid the most is being too hasty."
The colors of the badges were: yellow, red, blue, green, purple, and black, and each of them corresponded to: Medicine King, Heaven Alchemist, Little Saint Alchemist, Saint Alchemist, Godly Alchemist, and the legendary Immortal Alchemist. Each level of Alchemist had four different levels: iron, copper, silver, and gold. The "Gold Yellow Jade Badge" that Yang Wu obtained was equivalent to the highest level of Medicine King status. Only those who refined a Three Tribulation Pill would be bestowed with this badge. If one refined a King Pill and didn't attract a pill tribulation, then an ordinary Medicine King would be bestowed with the "Iron Yellow Jade Badge". If one refined a One Tribulation King Pill, they would obtain the "Copper Yellow Jade Badge" …
Yang Wu could hear the other party's good intentions. He nodded and replied, "I know what to do."
With his strength, refining a cauldron of King Pills did not consume much mental energy. Only refining Divine Pills would make him feel strained.
Thus, this deacon arranged for Yang Wu to refine Heavenly Pills.
Yang Wu directly refined a cauldron of Heavenly Fish Pills.
The Heavenly Fish Pill was a high-quality pill among Heavenly Pills. Many Heaven Alchemists might not be able to successfully refine it on their first try.
Yang Wu completed a cauldron of pills.
