Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249 Test Failed?

Quite some time later, Jackson Le Grandmaster glanced at the Treasure Clock hanging on the wall and gently shook his head, saying, "An Lian, could this test be a bit too difficult? It’s already been twenty minutes, hasn’t it?"

"Don’t worry, Grandmaster. It is tough, indeed, but with the skills of the top twenty candidates, coming up with one kind of answer should not be a problem. The reason why no one has finished the test yet is probably because they want to achieve higher scores,"

An Lian said with a smile.

"Hmm, that’s true, but An Lian, you should have a good understanding of these candidates’ abilities, right? So, tell me, who do you think will score the highest this time?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster asked with a smile.

Of course, he hoped that the Alchemy contest could produce as many powerful Alchemists as possible, since he was the one hosting it.

Therefore, he was very concerned about the performance of the top twenty candidates.

After pondering for a moment, An Lian answered, "The first place will most likely be taken by Dan Qing. Dan Qing has actually reached the Yellow Grade Super level but just hasn’t participated in the assessment. Moreover, his practical operating skills are stronger than others. When he was at Changle Immortal Island, he was one of our core Alchemists."

"Oh? Is he stronger than that Little Medicine King?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster said with a laugh, "Although Ji Luoyu, the Little Medicine King, is younger than Dan Qing, she has been learning closely from Medicine King Sun Ran and has handled a considerable amount of herbal materials as well. Plus, she is the deputy general manager of the Tianlong Trade Company’s branch on the White Tiger Continent. The Tianlong Trade Company wouldn’t have given her such honor without real ability."

"What the Grandmaster said makes perfect sense. That’s why I hesitated just now. To be honest, in terms of creativity, the two of them are equally matched, much stronger than a few of those older candidates ranked ahead. Maybe they won’t come first in the contest, but in this test, they should probably do quite well,"

An Lian conjectured.

"My judgment is similar to yours,"

Jackson Le Grandmaster nodded.

"Why aren’t you mentioning Ling Xiao, Grandmaster?"

An Lian asked with curiosity, "He is the one you recommended, isn’t he?"

"Although Ling Xiao is knowledgeable, his approach is unconventional; I reckon his foundational knowledge isn’t that solid. He should be able to pass the test, but it’s unlikely for him to come first."

Jackson Le Grandmaster shook his head.

"In my opinion, I’m afraid he might not even pass the test at all, being just an Advanced Yellow Rank Alchemist. Unless he’s a genius, it’s difficult to have the ability to create his own pills."

An Lian somehow just didn’t see Ling Xiao in a favorable light.

Probably because Ling Xiao didn’t give him much face.

"Heh, we’ll know once it’s over,"

Jackson Le Grandmaster didn’t dwell on this issue.

After all, no matter what he said, if Ling Xiao himself performed poorly, it would be of no significance.

What needed to be done next was to wait.

His expectations for Ling Xiao were not high; at the very least, he ought to pass the test. As for his specific ranking, it didn’t matter.

...

"Hmm, someone has stopped!"

While Jackson Le Grandmaster and An Lian were discussing the performance of the candidates, someone at one of the testing stations had stopped and walked out holding a piece of paper. What specifically was written on it, naturally, no one else knew.

This had to be seen by the judges, which were Jackson Le Grandmaster and An Lian.

"Is it Dan Qing? Is this child a bit too hasty? There are still nearly ten minutes left, what’s the rush?"

Jackson Le Grandmaster frowned and said.

Logically speaking, in this kind of test, it wouldn’t matter if you finish in the last minute, as long as you can come up with enough pill prescriptions, that’s sufficient.

Dan Qing came out so quickly, either he’s too confident or too impatient.

"Grandmaster, perhaps you have misunderstood him. His score might already secure him first place. After all, it’s just a test, there’s no need to go all out,"

An Lian has great faith in Dan Qing.

Almost at the same time as Dan Qing finished working, Ji Luoyu, the Little Medicine King next to him, also stopped.

Ji Luoyu laughed as she looked at Dan Qing and said, "Brother Dan Qing really is confident, stopping your work so soon. You must be sure of your victory."

"The feeling is mutual, Sister Luoyu. You finished the assessment almost the same time as I did. In the end, it all comes down to who has more answers and whose are more reliable,"

Dan Qing said with a smile.

"Although Luoyu holds Brother Dan Qing in high regard, I’m afraid that on this point, Brother Dan Qing is likely to lose to Luoyu."

Ji Luoyu smiled and passed her paper to An Lian, who then placed it on the table in front of Grandmaster Changle.

Grandmaster Changle cast a casual glance and couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

The answers from Dan Qing and Ji Luoyu were beyond his expectations.

However, the final proof of who is stronger will depend on whether the pills mentioned in the answers can actually be made. If they cannot be produced successfully, then it’s meaningless.

"Go try them out on the side. Only successfully produced pills count; otherwise, they don’t matter,"

An Lian told the judges from the committee of alchemists.

These alchemists will not participate in the Alchemy Conference but are proficient in the art of alchemy, making them essentially qualified to be judges.

Of course, tomorrow’s Alchemy Conference will have two heavyweight judges attending.

One of them is the president of a branch of the Divine Phoenix Continent Pharmacist Association, and another is the top alchemist from Changle Immortal Island. It is said he has already broken through the limits of Yellow Grade Alchemist, and there’s another even more formidable, Medicine King Sun Ran from White Tiger Continent!

After all, tomorrow’s Alchemy Conference is too important; ordinary judges can hardly be convincing.

Time gradually passes.

More and more test-takers finished their assessments, handing their papers to An Lian.

An Lian passed these papers to the judges for them to try and concoct the pills, which is key to determining the scores.

The first to complete the test were precisely the four Yellow Grade Super Pharmacists and ten Yellow Rank Top Pharmacists.

Those Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemists were quite a bit behind, so they hadn’t finished their assessments yet.

Ling Xiao was also unknown in terms of what he was plotting, having not finished the assessment either.

"It seems this Ling Xiao is just at this level. Although he has extensive knowledge, his actual operation skills aren’t up to par compared to Dan Qing or Ji Luoyu. He can’t even compare with the other Yellow Grade Super and Top-Ranked Pharmacists,"

An Lian wore a somewhat smug expression, as if feeling too accurate in his judgment of Ling Xiao.

"Let’s wait a bit longer; it’s not over yet."

Grandmaster Changle smiled and was not in a hurry.

He believed that with Ling Xiao’s ability, passing the assessment wouldn’t be a problem, but he estimated that Ling Xiao’s scores couldn’t really compare with the first fourteen who finished.

Dan Qing couldn’t help but turn to look at the testing platform where Ling Xiao was, noticing Ling Xiao still deep in thought. A mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Some people are just all talk. When it comes to the real test, they immediately show their true colors."

Perhaps aware that Fengming Piaoxue was also among the audience and even showing an anxious expression, he deliberately raised his voice.
