After reading the name list, Xiao Yu smiled at Ao Tuo and said,"Grandmaster Ao Tuo, to me, these people are a little weak! I feel like I'm almost a tier four alchemist now!”
Hearing this, Ao Tuo's mouth opened wide as he looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief! "You're already a grade four alchemist?" No way!" "Really, it's just that there's no assessment!" Xiao Yu said helplessly. Don't worry! I'll get first place. I think it's very simple!”
Ao Tuo helplessly shook his head and said with a bitter smile,"You're really a monster! His potential is too terrifying!"
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded. He asked,"The conference starts tomorrow? What else do I need to do now?"
"Haha, there is indeed something that needs to be done. This can be considered as the last prediction before the competition. Outsiders don't have this prediction, but for us who are recommended by the branch guild leaders, we need this…This can be considered as the guild testing our judgment in advance. If we can't even pass the test here, I'm afraid our recommendation will be invalid.”"Come with me," Ao Tuo stood up and smiled."Here, you can meet some of the strong opponents on the list."”
"Yes." Nodding his head, Xiao Yu stood up and followed Ao Tuo. The two of them walked out from the side door and walked along a quiet corridor for a while. When they reached the end, they pushed open the door at the side and slowly approached.
After entering the main door, a strong light suddenly shot towards him, causing Xiao Yu to involuntarily squint his eyes. Only after he had gotten used to it did he open his eyes.
Appearing before his eyes was a spacious inner hall that was decorated in a classical manner. At this moment, there were a few people standing in twos and threes within the inner hall. Xiao Yu's gaze swept over these people and was somewhat stunned to discover that many of these people who appeared quite young were actually tier three alchemists. The Empire's Little Princess, whom he had seen at the main entrance earlier, was also among them. His gaze turned once more before finally lifting his eyebrows slightly and pausing on a handsome young man who was chatting with a few tier three alchemists.
The group of people who were whispering to each other in the hall stopped their conversation when they heard the sound of the door opening. They threw their gazes toward the main door. When they saw Xiao Yu enter, they were all startled. Their gazes swept over the tier three alchemist on his chest! Looking at the other party's age, they were all shocked!
Leaning against the wall, the little princess, who was surrounded by a few alchemists like stars surrounding the moon, also glanced at Xiao Yu. When she saw the same tier three alchemist badge as her! He was about the same age as him! The little princess had developed a certain interest in Xiao Yu!
Hey, Old Ao, you also brought people over?”Just as the atmosphere in the hall became slightly tense, an elderly laugh broke the silence.
Xiao Yan followed the voice and shifted his gaze. He saw some elders wearing alchemist robes standing on a tall platform on the left side of the hall with smiles on their faces. The voice from earlier was from one of the elders with snow-white hair.
"That is the vice president of the guild, Qie Mi Er. He is also the little princess 'teacher.”Ao Tuo smiled and waved his hand at the old man. He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Yu.
"Follow me to meet those old fellows. They are people who possess great power within the Jia Ma Empire.”Ao Tuo said as he took the lead and walked towards the tall platform at the side. Xiao Yanyu hesitated for a moment before he could only follow.
Ao Tuo quickly walked up to the high platform and chatted with these old men of similar age for a while. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, stood quietly behind him and did not take the initiative to greet him.
"Old Ao, this young man is a contestant from your Black Rock City, right? What a genius. He looks very young!”After chatting for a while, the snow-white old man smiled and said to Ao Tuo.
Xiao Yu raised his gaze slightly and glanced at this old man who clearly had a high status in the Alchemist Association. He was wearing an extremely exquisite alchemist robe. His wrinkled face contained a smile. His slightly narrowed turbid eyes were calm and gentle. At a glance, other than the robe that represented his status and the four silver ripples that flickered with a strange light on his chest, he appeared to be an ordinary old man. He did not have an overly special aura. However, It was this ordinary old man who controlled nearly half of the Alchemist Association's strength.
While Xiao Yu was sizing up Qie Mi Er. The latter was also sizing him up. He looked pretty good, and was basically the same as the others. The only thing that caused Qie Mi Er to feel somewhat surprised was the other party's calm expression. To be able to maintain this calm expression under the gazes of a group of tier four alchemists. Such determination. Among the young people. It was still relatively rare.
"En, he is called Xiao Yu! His potential could be considered monstrous! His current pill refining level had already almost entered the level of a grade four alchemist!”Ao Tuo said helplessly. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Xiao Yu who was behind Ao Tuo! Qie Mi Er said in astonishment,"What you said is true. This little fellow is almost already a tier four alchemist?"”
Ao Tuo nodded heavily, deeply afraid that the latter would not believe him! After that, Qie Mi Er did not say anything else. However, no one knew what he was thinking about.
A few minutes later, Qie Mi Er shouted,"Time's up, let's begin the test.”
He shifted his gaze to the people below and pointed to the left side of the hall. There were many black curtains hanging down the walls."Behind every curtain, there is an individual small room. That is your examination venue…"
"Everyone knows that the refinement of medicinal ingredients is an extremely important step when refining medicinal pills. Our test this time around is to test your refinement of medicinal ingredients…"
"The medicinal ingredients used for the test have already been prepared on the stage in each small room. What you need to do is to refine the medicinal ingredients to the extreme purity that you can achieve in the shortest amount of time possible.”
"Before the hourglass completely drops, those who have not completed the refinement will fail. Moreover, even if you succeed, we old fellows will be the judges. If the medicinal ingredients that you refine do not meet our requirements, you will similarly be regarded as a failure. The outcome of failure is that you will lose the qualification to participate in the competition.”Qie Mi Er pointed at an hourglass on the table. He glanced at the young people below and spoke with a faint smile.
Hearing such a severe punishment for failure, the group of young people below looked at each other. Other than a few people, their expressions changed slightly.
His gaze slowly swept across the area below. Qie Mi Er's gaze suddenly stopped on Xiao Yu who was standing in a corner with his hands by his side! He thought to himself,'If what Ao Tuo said is true, this little fellow should be the first in this test!”
"Alright, let's begin. Pay attention to the hourglass time.”Clapping his hands, Qie Mi Er shifted his gaze away from Xiao Yu and laughed.
Hearing this, the people in the hall began to walk to the left in twos and threes. Then, they opened the black curtains and walked in.
Xiao Yu had also found a remote black curtain. He was just about to enter when a laughter was transmitted from behind him, causing him to stop in his tracks. His face was calm as he turned his head. When he saw the little princess say to him,"Hello, my name is Yao Yue!" What's your name?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled and said,"Xiao Yu!" Is there anything?"
"Yes!" The little princess smiled. It's okay, do your best!" Xiao Yu nodded. Then, the little princess nimbly flashed behind a black curtain. Xiao Yu thought to himself,"This little princess seems to be interested in me!"”
Xiao Yu also entered a black curtain! "The test questions this time around are not bad. Refining medicinal ingredients is not only a necessary measure when refining a medicine, but it also greatly tests one's ability to control the fire. This small test is able to roughly measure some of the abilities of these little fellows.”Ao Tuo looked at the empty hall and turned his head to smile at Qie Mi Er.
Qie Mi Er smiled and nodded. He sat down on a chair by the side and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said,"Next, let us see who can bring out the purest medicinal ingredients.”
Walking through the black curtain, a small room appeared in Xiao Yu's sight. The room was not spacious, but it was rather elegant and tidy. There was a stone platform against the wall of the small room. On the stone platform, there was an hourglass and a few neatly stacked medicinal ingredients.
Xiao Yu smiled helplessly. With a casual wave of his hand, the medicinal ingredients flew into the air! He released a green deviant flame! His soul power slowly extended out of his body, controlling the Strange Fire that soared into the sky and burning it towards the medicinal herbs!
In the quiet hall. On the high platform, Diqie Mi Er and the others sat on chairs with their eyes closed. On the table in front of them, the hourglass slowly descended…
After an unknown amount of time passed, Qie Mi Er was the first to open his eyes. He glanced at the hourglass that had almost gone halfway and his body moved. He coughed lightly.
Ao Tuo and the others opened their eyes after Qie Mi Er's cough sounded. They lifted their eyes and surveyed the large hall. "Looks like the test this time is quite difficult." It had actually come to this. No one has come out yet."
"Someone with strength. Those who wanted to increase the purity of the materials as much as possible, and those who were slightly weaker, were troubled by how to refine the materials within the specified time. Naturally, no one came out." Qie Mi Er smiled faintly.
