Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: The Last One?

"Dan Qing, he is just an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist, aren’t you taking that person too seriously?"

Ji Luoyu didn’t quite understand Dan Qing’s reaction. Was it really worth paying so much attention to someone who was already inferior to an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist?

"It’s not about caring. It’s that he was just too arrogant just now, daring not to show respect to senior An Lian."

Dan Qing explained.

"Oh, I see."

Ji Luoyu did not ask any more questions. Everyone was still waiting, and when the time entered the last minute, the remaining six Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemists also completed their examination and handed their papers over to An Lian.

At this moment, the only one who had not completed the examination was Ling Xiao.

An Lian’s face was filled with an increasingly triumphant smile.

In the crowd, Fengming Piaoxue’s frown grew tighter—could it be that Ling Xiao really wasn’t up to it?

"Dan Qing, that guy really seems to be lousy. Even if he can’t compete with Yellow Grade Super and top Alchemists, he should at least be on par with the other Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemists. This is just too far off," said Ji Luoyu, seemingly becoming impatient with the wait.

She did not like waiting here for someone else to finish something.

It was just too boring.

"That’s true. I’ve also warned that kid before, told him to earnestly follow the seniors and learn, not to put on airs without knowing a thing. But as you can see, Miss Luo Yu, this chap is all talk."

Dan Qing raised his voice even louder, as if afraid that others would not hear him.

Fengming Piaoxue grew more anxious.

"Ding ding ding!"

Finally, the Treasure Clock on the wall struck, a sign that the testing period was over.

An Lian’s face bloomed with joy, as if a flower had completely unfolded.

He laughed, having been worried that Ling Xiao might surprise him with his ability. But now it seemed like he had been overly concerned.

He stood up and excitedly announced the end of the test, asking everyone to leave the examination platform

Of course, at this time, only Ling Xiao was left on the platform. His words were undoubtedly meant for Ling Xiao.

Fengming Piaoxue sighed helplessly. She had not expected Ling Xiao to fail such a test. Could the outstanding young man she had always held in her heart have been an illusion?

Ling Xiao came out from the examination platform with a look of helplessness and regret on his face.

"Sigh, it’s a pity the time was too short."

His sigh was heard by everyone; his words, too, were heard by all.

"Hehe, this person is really interesting. I don’t think the time was too short. Instead, isn’t it just that you’re too poor in skill? Everyone else has finished, yet you complain about the lack of time?" laughed Ji Luoyu.

She now had absolutely no regard for Ling Xiao, who clearly couldn’t manage yet blamed the insufficient time for the test. What kind of reasoning was that?

Dan Qing said mockingly, "Miss Luo Yu, don’t put it that way. Even if he didn’t pass the test, it’s no big deal. After all, with the support of Jackson Le Grandmaster, he should still be able to participate in the Alchemy Conference, shouldn’t he?"

Although it seemed as if he was speaking on behalf of Ling Xiao, his words were laced with a much heavier tone of sarcasm.

Ji Luoyu’s words simply expressed her personal disdain.

But Dan Qing’s words were clearly a direct attack.

"I should still be able to pass the test," Ling Xiao said, scratching his head.

An Lian scoffed, "Bring out your exam paper. After giving you so much time, I don’t know what mess you’ve concocted. But don’t forget our bet; I’m not someone who easily lets things slide."

"Of course."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly as he handed his exam paper over to An Lian.

An Lian didn’t even look at it and handed it to the Alchemist judge beside him.

"Grandmaster, it’s not that I refuse to show respect to Ling Xiao, but this kid is just too arrogant. If we don’t take him down a peg, he’ll never understand his place."

After handing in the test paper, An Lian bowed again and addressed Jackson Le Grandmaster.

"Just follow the rules."

Jackson Le Grandmaster simply nodded indifferently, his thoughts at the moment inscrutable.

Meanwhile, the eager onlooker Fengming Piaoxue was as restless as an ant on a hot pan; in her view, Ling Xiao might indeed be unable to pass the test.

And even less likely to win the bet against An Lian.

If that were the case, wouldn’t he have to hand over the Imperial Jade Seal?

With Ling Xiao’s personality, would he really comply?

If he doesn’t hand it over, could it lead to a fight?

As she agonized over these thoughts, An Lian was already preparing to announce the results of this test.

The disclosure of the results naturally followed the order in which the papers were submitted.

The first test paper was from Dan Qing.

Upon reviewing the results, An Lian couldn’t help showing a satisfied smile, "Excellent, Dan Qing came up with six prescriptions, all of which can be made into effective pills, scoring sixty points!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that even the best scores among the Alchemists serving as judges were just four or five prescriptions. Dan Qing’s score was even better than theirs.

And it is worth noting that Dan Qing had submitted his paper well ahead of time. Such talent was truly admirable.

Dan Qing humbly bowed his hand, "I’m just a junior with limited knowledge, managing to come up with only these six prescriptions."

Although he spoke modestly, his face was brimming with pride and confidence.

It was clear he was utterly pleased with himself.

To attain such a level might already be the standard of a Yellow Grade Super Pharmacist; one might estimate Dan Qing’s Alchemist abilities even higher.

"Dan Qing, you’re being too modest. Not to mention the people here, even across the entire Divine Phoenix Continent and Heavenly Dragon Continent, no one can match you in this test," praised An Lian.

"Senior An Lian shouldn’t be too hasty with his judgment; otherwise, he might end up being embarrassed," Ling Xiao said with a light laugh.

"Hmph, just take care of yourself," An Lian snorted coldly, paying no further attention to Ling Xiao, and pulled out Ji Luoyu’s results.

"Could it be that Brother Ling thinks Little Medicine King Ji Luoyu could beat me?" Dan Qing asked, glancing at Ling Xiao.

"She’s too green and can’t beat you, at least not in this test, but I can," Ling Xiao stated indifferently.

"Hahaha, how ridiculous!" Dan Qing laughed heartily, yet he was internally stunned by the sheer audacity of Ling Xiao, who just barely stood a chance of passing the test and now dared to make such shameless claims.

At that moment, An Lian announced Little Medicine King Ji Luoyu’s score.

Although Ji Luoyu came up with six prescriptions, only five could genuinely be turned into pills; the sixth was a bit too fanciful.

"Miss Luo Yu, if you can concoct this prescription right here and now, that would be acceptable," An Lian said, looking towards Ji Luoyu.

"There’s no need," Ji Luoyu shook her head, content with her five prescriptions.

It was just a test after all, and there was no need for her to reveal all her cards.
