Novel Bin Chapter 412
Although the results of the assessment were clear, he still had to go through the dynasty’s laws and procedures.
Thus, he Wufu instructed the ingredient boy,”collect all the Peiyuan pills refined by the alchemists.” &Nbsp;
Not long after, the medicine boys and girls sculpted into the field and collected everyone’s refined Peiyuan pills into Jade bottles, placed them on trays, and presented them with a pill banner.
The body of each Jade bottle indicated the alchemist’s identity, age, cultivation level, time spent on alchemy, etc. It was the information they left when they registered.
He Wufu and the other judges were expressionless as they quickly looked through the Jade bottles on the pill Imperial carriage.
At this moment, one of the judges ordered, ” &Quot; those who haven’t refined a single Peiyuan pill, please follow me. You have to pay the pill formula and the spirit stones for three sets of materials. &Quot;
Hearing this, many of the Rogue Alchemist’s expressions changed.
Someone’s lips quivered as if he wanted to bargain, but he felt the judge’s powerful aura and his stern gaze, so he didn’t dare to refute.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the 20 odd itinerant cultivators hung their heads in dejection and followed the judge to leave the venue early.
At this moment, a well-dressed judge stood up and walked down from the stage. He personally climbed up to the stage where PEI Ling was at and bowed without any explanation. Then, he said politely,”Master, may I know your name?”
“Wang Gao,” PEI Ling quickly said respectfully.
“So it’s teacher Wang!” The judge’s attitude was very humble. He immediately said, ” teacher Wang’s alchemy skills are unfathomable. We are really amazed! &Quot;
“With teacher Wang’s alchemy skills, the pre-selection is just a waste of time. However, this is the law of the Empire, I hope teacher Wang Can forgive me. ”
“Next, according to the rules, it is time for us to judge the skills of the alchemists, as well as the process of their pill refinement. However, your alchemy skills are far superior to ours, and we dare not make a fool of ourselves. Thus, Your Majesty has passed the selection. Please follow me to the back hall to serve tea.”
Hearing this, PEI Ling nodded and immediately asked,”May I know when I can participate in your dynasty’s fifth-grade Alchemist examination?”
The judge in front of him was not surprised by this question at all.
The other party had the strength of a fifth-grade Alchemist!
“We have limited aptitudes and are not qualified to be your examiners,” he said. He had to invite master Xue Ruhan. Grandmaster Xue Ruhan isn’t nearby right now, and it’ll take about two hours to get here.”
“During this period of time, I would like to invite Grandmaster to come with me and serve tea.”
&Quot; yes, ” PEI Ling replied and turned to follow him.
As soon as he walked out of the small door behind the hall, he heard the voice of he Wufu, the head Examiner, behind him. &Quot; Guo longtao, two low-grade Vitality Pills. You’re not qualified. Go and pay the spirit stone fee! &Quot;
&Quot; Lu Suan, three low-grade Yuan cultivation pills. Go and pay the spirit stone fee as well! &Quot;
“Jiang you, one low-grade essence cultivation pill. Go down and pay the fee ...”
???
After a while, PEI Ling was led to a quiet flower Hall.
This flower Hall faced a wide Lake, and a fiery red water lily was in full bloom in the lake. It was bright in color and had a fragrant smell, attracting countless bees and butterflies to surround the pool, fluttering here and there.
Outside the windows engraved with various medicinal herbs, there were lush branches and leaves, the shade of green lingering and swaying in the wind.
The furnishings in the hall were exquisite and elegant, with green brocade mats, bead curtains, and a few spirit plant bonsai that helped calm the mind.
The judge who was leading the way ordered. Several apprentice alchemists walked in with crystal bowls and golden bowls. They served spirit fruits, cakes, spirit wine ... One after another for enjoyment.
After instructing the medicine Boy to serve him with all his heart, the judge apologetically took his leave.”This one will make the arrangements for you.”
PEI Ling nodded slightly and expressed his thanks. After watching him leave, he dismissed the assistant.
To cultivators, two hours was a very short time.
He might not even have enough time to cultivate.
However, PEI Ling only knew demonic techniques and didn’t dare to cultivate in the glazed tile Empire’s Yamen. Not to mention, this hundred worker puppet was definitely paying close attention to him. Perhaps the judge had already sent someone to investigate his identity and background.
Thus, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, not doing anything.
Time passed slowly. When there was still a moment before the two hours were up, PEI Ling suddenly opened his eyes.
A white-haired old man in a brocade robe led a green-robed scholar in with a respectful attitude.
PEI Ling immediately stood up.
He recognized the elder in the brocade robe as he Wufu, the examiner who had occupied the main seat during the selection. The green-robed scholar behind him was most likely the master Xue Ruhan that the judge had mentioned.
As expected, after he Wufu entered, he immediately introduced the two sides. &Quot; teacher Wang, this is master Xue Ruhan. She’s a fifth-grade Alchemist in the Empire and the highest-grade Alchemist in Ying city. &Quot;
&Quot; next, master Xue will personally preside over the fifth realm Alchemist test for you. &Quot;
He then turned to Xue Ruxi and said, ” master Xue, this is teacher Wang. He’s The Alchemist we were talking about. &Quot;
PEI Ling quickly bowed to Xue Rufei. &Quot; “I’m Wang Gao, a junior. Nice to meet you, master Xue.”
Xue Ruhan didn’t put on any airs, and even immediately returned the bow. She solemnly said,”In front of teacher Wang, I don’t deserve to be called a master!”
From the moment she received the news from he Wufu and the others until now, Xue Ruyan’s mood had yet to completely calm down.
Especially now, after personally witnessing Wang Gao’s youth and feeling the surging vitality unique to young people coming from him, Xue Ruyan’s mind was on the verge of collapse.
As a fifth-grade Alchemist, he could also refine Supreme-grade Vitality Pills, and he could make two or three pills in each furnace.
However, to be able to refine 30 Supreme-grade Vitality Pills in one go ... What kind of monster was this?
If he didn’t know he Wufu’s character, he wouldn’t have joked about such an important matter. Moreover, the judges had also made solemn oaths. He would never have believed that there was such a genius in the world!
In Xue Ruhan’s eyes, this dark and thin young man’s alchemy skills were definitely above his. He was not qualified to test him at all!
The problem was, as he Wufu had said, the person with the best alchemy skills near bamboo city was him, Xue Ruyan. Hence, in a rush, he could only reluctantly take on the role of the examiner.
After all, according to the rules of the pill ceremony, a fifth-grade Alchemist could directly enter the county examination.
Other than Xue Ruhan, who had temporarily stayed in bamboo city for personal reasons, the other high level alchemists had already left for the county city.
Of course, it wasn’t necessary for the fifth grade Alchemist test to take place in Ying city.
The problem was that there were many benefits for bamboo city to have a genius Alchemist.
Thus, even if they knew that the conditions were not good enough, the people of bamboo city would not take the initiative to suggest for PEI Ling to take the assessment elsewhere.
Right now, Xue Rufei could only brace herself and go up. How would she dare to put on the airs of an examiner in front of PEI Ling?
After they exchanged pleasantries for a while, he asked tentatively, ” “The most important thing in the Dao of pills is its spirituality. As the saying goes, you don’t need a heavy hammer to sound a Gong. I wonder what teacher Wang thinks about this?”
As she spoke, Xue Rufei stared at PEI Ling.
A Grandmaster who was able to produce 30 Supreme-grade Peiyuan pills in one go must have great insight into alchemy!
At the moment, he felt that his alchemy skills were far inferior to the other party’s. If he were to ask the other party to open the furnace and refine the pill, how would he be able to evaluate the other party with his level of skill after the other party had finished refining the pill?
Therefore, Xue Ruhan only planned to take this opportunity to learn from teacher Wang’s unique insights and alchemy insights, and then directly give the fifth grade Alchemist identity to him.
