Yang Chen hated it when others questioned his alchemy skills. If it were just some insignificant people, he could let it go. But for this arrogant Registration officer to belittle him and even speak so rudely, he naturally wouldn’t mind demonstrating his true skills in alchemy. Just because someone didn’t have an Elixir Master Token didn’t mean they weren’t a qualified alchemist!
“Sixty breaths?”
“Haha, has this kid gone crazy?”
“As expected, just an arrogant brat who doesn’t know his place.”
“Alchemy requires utmost care and attention. If you are not careful enough, it would be difficult to refine an elixir. Sometimes, spending one hour or even one day is not considered long. Sixty breaths, heh, he really is shameless.” Zhou Haoran, who was standing next to Yang Chen, also felt rather embarrassed. Yang Chen was being too impulsive. Although he was not an alchemist, he knew that it was very difficult to refine a batch of elixirs in sixty breaths.
Unless, Yang Chen’s alchemy level was far beyond what a Second Grade Alchemist could measure.
Only at that level could one refine a second-grade elixir within sixty breaths.
Otherwise, it would be impossible.
The Registration Officer also looked at Yang Chen disdainfully, believing he was just trying to attract attention.
Sixty breaths, what a joke!
Yang Chen didn’t care about what others thought. The moment he took out his pill furnace, he quickly and skillfully threw the materials into it.
Immediately, he controlled the fire and tended to it, doing so seamlessly without even blinking.
Those so-called alchemy geniuses, who had been sneering at Yang Chen, suddenly fell silent when they saw his technique.
The Registration Officer, who was also an alchemist, widened his eyes when he noticed Yang Chen’s skills.
They were all experts and understood alchemy very well. Yang Chen’s refinement techniques and skillful mastery were far from that of a rookie.
Sixty breaths passed in the blink of an eye.
Even before sixty breaths, a pleasant scent wafted out from the pill furnace. Immediately after, Yang Chen opened the Purple Elegance Dan Furnace, revealing four fragrant and smooth elixirs to everyone.
“This is Cloud Color Elixir!”
“It’s the Cloud Color Elixir that can refine impurities in the body when consumed!” “Second Level Middle Grade Elixir!”
“This…”
Those alchemy geniuses who sneered at Yang Chen earlier closed their mouths one by one.
Despite their mockery, they did have some discerning eyes. The Cloud Color Elixir was a relatively complex and difficult-to-refine second-grade elixir.
Completing this series of high-difficulty actions to refine the Cloud Color Elixir within sixty breaths, it was obvious to even a fool that Yang Chen’s alchemy level was definitely more than just a Second Grade Alchemist.
The Registration officer couldn’t help but take a deep breath as he recalled Yang Chen’s skilled actions just now, still finding it hard to digest.
He himself was an alchemist who had reached the Third Grade Alchemist level. However, even if he was to perform the series of steps Yang Chen just did, he couldn’t guarantee that he would do a better job.
Had Yang Chen’s alchemy level really reached the Third Grade?
“Sir Registration Officer, am I eligible to receive the Assessment Order now?” Yang Chen asked immediately.
Despite his discomfort, the Registration Officer followed the rules and handed
Yang Chen the Assessment Order: “Examination Area 42!”
Upon receiving the token, Yang Chen turned around and left.This astonished Zhou Haoran, who was watching clearly from the side, “Yang Chen, my friend, are you also so accomplished in the field of alchemy?”
As long as their brains were functioning, it was obvious that Yang Chen’s accomplishments in alchemy must not be limited to that of just a Third-Grade Alchemist.
Yang Chen grinned but didn’t say anything.
Just like that, Yang Chen went back to the residence with the Zhou family and, like the other geniuses who came to participate in the selection competition, waited for the assessment to begin three days later.
For martial artists, three days were just like the blink of an eye.
Three days later, numerous talented martial artists gathered at the assessment venue.
Zhou family led their treasure, Zhou Yunxi, to the corresponding examination area and said to Yang Chen, “Yang Chen, my friend, this is where we part ways!”
Yang Chen cupped his hands and said, “Wishing Miss Yunxi a good result in the exam, Master Zhou, I will take my leave first!”
Since the examination areas were different, Yang Chen didn’t linger and went straight to his own examination area.
His examination area was the 121st Examination Area, which was one amongst many other examination areas.
It took him quite some effort to find his examination area, as each examination area was at least a hundred kilometers in size. His examination area was number 121, and he didn’t know how far he had to go to get there.
When he arrived at the examination area, it was already filled with people. “All examinees should gather here!” instructed the examiner of the examination area.
Yang Chen obeyed and found the place where the examinees were gathering, quietly observing his surroundings.
The examination area was indeed astonishingly large, and furthermore, the number of people watching the examination far exceeded the number of examinees. At a glance, there must be at least a few thousand people.
“Look quickly, that’s Elder Hui from the Taotu Sect, Elder Hui is an elder of the
Taotu Sect’s Inner Door. If I could perform excellently and catch his attention, I’ll be guaranteed entry into the Taotu Sect. My lifelong dream is to join a great sect like the Taotu Sect.”
“There’s also an elder from the Ziyang Sect.”
The geniuses were all incredibly excited.
Yang Chen listened to the discussions around him and after glancing at his surroundings, he quickly understood a few things.
It seemed that various major sects would send elders and those in high positions to scout for talents worth recruiting in the basic competition. There were people from these sects in every examination area.
This wasn’t strange at all; scouting early was always better. It was an advantage for many sects to find and recruit talented individuals as early as possible.
As for these geniuses, the arrival of the sect recruiters was a cause for delight.
At a glance, Yang Chen saw that many geniuses were already rubbing their fists, eagerly anticipating the competition.
Suddenly, a voice caught Yang Chen’s attention. “Hmm?” Yang Chen turned his head.
“It’s Elder Qian!”
“It’s Elder Qian from the Ming Emperor Sect. Elder Qian from the Ming Emperor Sect has also arrived.”
This made Yang Chen slightly narrow his eyes, reminded of Elder Qian from the Ming Emperor Sect who had chased after him on account of the lost Dazzling Mind Bell. Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Elder Qian, who was being discussed by the crowd on the viewing platform. He saw that Elder Qian appeared to be a kind and amiable old man with a goatee, but his eyes flickered with a cold and sharp look, making it obvious he was not to be trifled with.
Yang Chen thought, there shouldn’t be many Elders Qian in the Ming Emperor Sect, right?
Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, it really proves that saying, “enemies are bound to meet..”
