1182 Stupid, That Isn’t the Way to Make Pills!
The two great geniuses actually applied for the intermediate alchemist assessment one after another, instantly causing an uproar.
They had clearly been provoked by Chu Yunfan’s results. They were defeated by him this time, but they were unwilling to accept it. They wanted to fight Chu Yunfan again.
Everyone was in an uproar.
“Do they already have the strength to become intermediate alchemists?”
!!“Isn’t this too forced?”
“That’s great! Another confrontation between the three geniuses!”
“Today will go down in the history books. It’s a scene that will be difficult to reproduce!”
On top of Chu Yunfan’s continuous skipping of grades in a day, there was also the gimmick of two geniuses challenging each other. Many people felt that they had not come in vain today. It was a good thing they had come. Otherwise, it would have been a pity.
“Nonsense!” Kong Buyi’s first reaction was that they were messing around. If this wasn’t anger, then what was? However, seeing Jiang Lan’er’s determined expression and Bai Shengzu’s similarly unwavering look, he knew that if the three of them didn’t have another match, the two of them would probably be unwilling.
In the end, Kong Buyi could only acquiesce.
Facing Bai Shengzu’s interrogation, Chu Yunfan smiled faintly and said, “Whatever.”
Chu Yunfan didn’t care. He did not think anything of Bai Shengzu.
This made Bai Shengzu furious. This was blatant contempt.
Soon, the venue for the intermediate alchemist assessment was ready. Everyone quickly moved to the huge alchemy lab.
In the alchemy lab, there were five huge alchemical furnaces scattered around. Usually, this place was used as an ordinary alchemy lab because only a very small portion of people could pass the junior alchemist assessment. Those who went to take the intermediate assessment were even rarer.
Therefore, it was more than enough to have five furnaces here. There were all kinds of medicinal herbs in a room located at the side of the lab. The medicinal herbs that might be needed for alchemy could be found here. This highlighted the huge financial resources Conglong City’s Alchemist Association possessed.
Nobody knew how much time would be needed to gather all these medicinal herbs.
Soon, Kong Buyi came up with a tray. On it were many scrolls tied with ropes. Inside the scrolls were the pill recipes used for the assessment. The three of them were going to choose one of these recipes.
Among the youths, Bai Shengzu quickly picked one. He unfurled the scroll and found the words “Fire Energy Replenishing Pill” written on it.
He frowned. From ther recipe, it was clear that this pill was mainly used to help martial artists who cultivated fire attribute cultivation techniques to recover their true energy faster.
This kind of medicinal pill that targeted a single attribute was rare. Compared to ordinary Qi Replenishing Pills, the effect was at least several times better. Of course, this applied to martial artists who cultivated fire-type cultivation methods.
Next, Jiang Lan’er drew a scroll. Everyone saw that it was an Elementary Divine Power Pill. After swallowing it, one’s strength would double within an hour. However, within six hours after the effects passed, one would enter a weakened state. Although there were some side effects, the payoff was acceptable.
These pill recipes were the results of the Alchemist Association’s many years of research and development. They were not something that outsiders could read.
In the end, it was Chu Yunfan’s turn to draw a random scroll. On it was written Elementary Divine Wind Pill. This pill could double one’s speed for an hour, but there would be a certain degree of side effects. However, if the two sides were in a fight to the death, at a critical moment, this pill could save their lives.
The pill recipes in their hands were not common pill recipes. Chu Yunfan found that although the pill recipe listed the required ingredients and the general steps, there were no other detailed contents.
The assessment clearly depended on the individual’s comprehension level because alchemy was nothing more than the control of fire and time, and the correct time was often found after thousands of experiments.
This was the essence of pill recipes. If there was no edge of challenge, this assessment would be the most basic exam to test the ability of the alchemist and their grasp of alchemy.
“All right, you’ve all picked a recipe. Let’s begin!” Kong Buyi said.
Bai Shengzu’s expression was a little ugly. This test was undoubtedly an assessment of his basic skills. He felt that he had been a little impulsive, but when he saw Chu Yunfan’s indifferent expression, he immediately burned with anger.
After Chu Yunfan picked a recipe, he glanced through it and immediately understood it. He immediately put the recipe away and began to take ingredients from the room next to the lab.
‘He made a decision so quickly?’ Kong Buyi couldn’t help but feel a little stunned. At this moment, Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er were still looking at their recipes and thinking about the specific steps to complete them.
After all, if one made a mistake, the process would fail completely. This was the most difficult part of the entire intermediate alchemist assessment.
Looking at Chu Yunfan’s confident and calm appearance, it was as if nothing could stop him. After gathering the ingredients, he began to light the furnace and start making his pill.
At this moment, everyone felt like they had been enlightened. Chu Yunfan’s movements were simple but smooth. His simple movements actually had a sense of beauty.
“This Chu Yunfan is definitely not ordinary!”
Kong Buyi immediately realized that Chu Yunfan was not an ordinary person. His actions were clean and without any unnecessary movements. For alchemists of this level, it was simply unbelievable.
Seeing that Chu Yunfan had already started his work, Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er didn’t want to fall behind too much and quickly started. However, compared to Chu Yunfan’s smooth and natural movements, the two of them were much more careful. They had to think twice before they did anything.
Seconds and minutes passed. Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out. Immediately after, everyone saw Bai Shengzu’s alchemical furnace explode, and the furnace was shaking violently.
Bai Shengzu had a look of disbelief on his face.
“I failed?! How could I have failed?!” Bai Shengzu was furious. “You must have tampered with the test somehow. Otherwise, how could I have failed?”
Bai Shengzu couldn’t accept his defeat and scolded angrily.
His words made the people present glare at him angrily. Saying that they had tampered with the test, wasn’t this slapping their faces?
Suddenly, Chu Yunfan said, “Stupid, that isn’t the way to make pills!”
