Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Too Simple

Lin continued, "The assessment time is one day. If you fail to produce the pill successfully within one day, then the assessment will be declared a failure.

Additionally, should you fail more than three times in the pill crafting process, the assessment will also be declared a failure.

No interfering with each other. Focus all your attention on your own alchemy furnace. Each of you will be crafting different pills, so peeking will be futile.

Let’s begin now."

Since Tie Yun Shan, Ling Xiao, and Si Kong Yue entered the examination venue one after another, their tag numbers were consecutive.

The alchemy furnaces for this assessment were also connected.

Tie Yun Shan glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "I don’t care where you come from or what your name is, just don’t disturb me during the pill crafting. Even if you fail, control yourself, or you’ll suffer the consequences afterward."

Ling Xiao did not pay any attention to Tie Yun Shan, leaving him feeling snubbed.

Here, he dared not physically attack anyone; otherwise, he would lose his qualifications. No matter how foolish, he had to control his emotions.

Ling Xiao had already begun checking his tools.

After confirming everything, he picked up the name of the pill that was placed there.

At that moment, he couldn’t help but frown.

Burst Qi Pill!

This type of Burst Qi Pill, a standard Lower-tier Yellow Rank pill, can allow Transcendent Realm Martial Artists and Heavenly Pulse Warriors to burst out with powerful combat strength in a short time.

Of course, after the burst, there is a relatively long period of weakness.

Ling Xiao had never crafted this type of pill before because he felt that it was rather redundant since many special Martial Arts could replace it.

More importantly, crafting the Burst Qi Pill requires very high control over the flame, as it needs the medicinal power to be infused in an instant.

Although it is a Lower-tier Yellow Rank pill, even a Yellow Rank Intermediate Pharmacist would have a high failure rate in crafting it.

"Ling Xiao, you don’t need to craft that Burst Qi Pill, choose another one, you won’t be able to succeed in making it," suddenly said Master Ironwood.

"Indeed, it should be a mistake from our staff. Although the effect of Burst Qi Pill is only Lower-tier Yellow Rank, its crafting difficulty reaches the mid-level Yellow Rank," added Lin.

"No need."

Ling Xiao shook his head.

To others, the Burst Qi Pill might be difficult to craft, but to him, it was not a problem.

After all, his control over the flame was not just excellent, but nearly perfect.

"Hmph, just keep pretending. The president and my grandfather kindly advised you, yet you refuse to listen. If you fail the assessment later, just wait and cry," huffed Tie Yun Shan, who then started focusing on crafting her own pills.

In her eyes, Ling Xiao was an over-confident fool.

As for Si Kong Yue, from the beginning to the end, she did not spare a glance at any other exam participants, focusing solely on her own assessment.

"Ling Xiao, think it through. If you fail, it will be too late to regret," warned Master Ironwood.

"Thank you, Master Ironwood, for your concern. I believe I am capable," Ling Xiao replied.

"Well then, continue."

Since Ling Xiao could not be persuaded, and Master Ironwood felt he had done all he could, there was no need to keep persuading.

During the process of selecting medicinal materials, while others took three portions, Ling Xiao only took one.

For him, one portion was enough, what was he going to do with so many; he couldn’t take them away, could he?

"What’s with this kid, only taking one portion of materials? Is he planning to give up completely?" Lin frowned and asked, "Who recommended him?"

"Reporting to the president, he does not have a recommendation letter; it was the guards at the door who let him in."

The woman dressed in green responded.

"What nonsense, fetch those two men for me, I want to question them myself," Lin said.

Now, Lin felt that Ling Xiao was there to cause trouble. Otherwise, how could it be explained—a sixteen-year-old boy, crafting the most difficult Burst Qi Pill among the Lower-tier Yellow Rank and only taking one portion of materials?

Could he really be that confident?

"Master Lin, there’s no need to be so tense. His cultivation level doesn’t seem to reach the Cave Heaven Realm, so even if he causes trouble, he wouldn’t do it so brazenly, would he?"

Tie Mu said with a smile.

"Then do you mean he’s really confident he can successfully refine the Burst Qi Pill in one go?"

Lin asked.

"I don’t know about that, we’ll see."

Tie Mu was also uncertain.

At this moment, those who had chosen their ingredients had begun refining pills, including Si Kong Yue and Tie Yun Shan.

The pills these two were refining were of moderate difficulty, not the simplest, but simpler than Ling Xiao’s Burst Qi Pill.

It was evident that Tie Mu and Lin did not cheat.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a booming sound echoed through the venue as an alchemy furnace exploded.

"Disqualified!"

Explosions like this are quite common in alchemist examinations.

This is why recommendation letters are needed.

However, having a recommendation letter doesn’t necessarily mean one has true talent and knowledge, a somewhat helpless fact.

Afterward, five or six more people had their furnaces explode in succession, not only injuring themselves but also ruining the ingredients.

For such individuals, the Apothecary Association has a rule requiring them to compensate for the damages.

Of course, it’s not the association compensating them.

It’s them compensating the association!

This is also to prevent more and more irresponsible individuals from causing trouble here in the future.

Exploding furnaces, however, do not affect others.

Because each exam participant is enclosed within a small magic array, even if an explosion occurs, it will only harm themselves and not affect others.

Perhaps because of the explosions, Lin and Tie Mu temporarily shifted their focus away from Ling Xiao.

Having five or six people’s furnaces explode in a row is not a good thing.

"President."

"What is it?"

Lin was in a bad mood, so his tone was not very pleasant when someone came over to report to him.

"Those two guards have brought her."

The green-clothed woman said somewhat awkwardly.

"What’s going on with you two, letting that youngster in without a recommendation letter, aren’t you afraid he’ll cause some trouble?"

Perhaps because he was angry, Lin’s voice was a bit loud.

This caused Ling Xiao to temporarily put down what he was doing and look over here.

Refining the Burst Qi Pill was nothing challenging for him, so this little delay didn’t matter.

"Reporting to the president, he possesses the Samadhi True Fire!"

One of the guards hastily explained.

"I don’t care about any Samadhi True Fire—wait, what did you say? He possesses the Samadhi True Fire?"

Lin’s eyes suddenly widened a lot, looking almost like a bull’s eyes: "Are you sure?"

"No need for them to confirm it, Master Lin, look."

Tie Mu suddenly pointed towards where Ling Xiao was.

Lin turned his head to look, only to see beneath Ling Xiao’s alchemy furnace, a rolling red flame continually releasing intense heat, making all the other flames around it pale in comparison.

"It really is the Samadhi True Fire!"

Lin shouted in surprise.

As the president of the Apothecary Association, he shouldn’t have lost his composure like this, but he couldn’t help it, he was too excited.
