Chapter 723 Alchemist Exam (8)

The young master glared at the referee once again, but this time, the referee didn't even bother looking at him. He went out of his way just to look in the other direction, making sure that he didn't see the young master.

It was clear by his actions that he was completely cutting off the young master.

The young master was filled with rage when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do to vent this feeling at this moment. So without any other choice, he chose to focus on his refining.

The most important thing for him was to pass this alchemist exam, so he didn't have time to waste on this matter.

But the problem was that the stench really made it hard for him to concentrate.

So after thinking about it, the young master pulled something out of his Storage Ring that he placed in his nose and then focused on refining his pill.

But even with these nose plugs in, he found that the stench was so strong that it penetrated through these nose plugs. In fact, with these nose plugs in, it was almost as if the stench had become stronger. It was as if the nose plugs had actually absorbed the stench which made it much worse.

With this stench still assaulting him, he naturally still found it hard to concentrate.

This time, it took him even less time than before for his cauldron to explode.

He had been caught off guard once again, so the flames hit him right in the face and even swept across his clothes.

When the flames disappeared, he stood there completely covered in black soot, painting a very sorry picture.

The young master naturally couldn't accept this arrangement and tried to complain to the head referee again, but the head referee had already lost his patience with this idiot.

Without any hesitation at all, the head referee called the guards on the young master who had already failed this exam.

As he was being dragged out, the young master kept shouting out to complain about Yuki and how she had sabotaged him. He even said that he would use the full power of the Kong Family to make the Alchemy King Hall pay for treating him like this.

What he didn't know was that his words had set about the destruction of the Kong Family in this Frost City.

After he had been escorted out, the head referee called over one of the guards to whisper a few things in his ear before turning his attention back to Yuki.

While Yuki had been refining, she had also been looking at the young master from the corner of her eyes. She had been waiting for him to make a move and when she finally saw him being kicked out, she revealed a faint smile before increasing the flames inside of the cauldron.

That's right, she had been deliberately slowing down the rate of the impurities being burnt away.

With her skills and the flames that she controlled, she could have easily burnt the impurities that she had separated away a long time ago. The only reason that she had taken it slow was just to make the stench last as long as possible.

This was the plan that Lin Fan had given her when they had talked alone.

He had learned a bit about alchemy during his time in the trial illusion realm, so he had also picked up this technique there.

With Yuki's knowledge of alchemy, she was already aware of this technique and had learned it a long time ago.

Since that was the case, it was perfect to use it here.

The stench created by this technique really was unbearable for most people and only the greatest alchemist with the greatest levels of concentration would be able to ignore this.

Lin Fan was certain that the young master wouldn't be at this level, so he suggested this method to Yuki.

It had gone as they had expected and in the end, he had even been thrown out by the Alchemy King Hall.

It really made things easier when the other side was cliched and had shallow thoughts, it made it much easier for them to predict and deal with their plans.

But now that the young master had been taken care of, there was no need for Yuki to continue stalling.

With more flames appearing in the cauldron, the black drop that had been slowly evaporating suddenly exploded with smoke as it started disappearing at a visible rate. In just a few seconds, the black drop had completely disappeared from the cauldron.

Once it disappeared, the stench that had filled the air was also gone and it was replaced with a very fresh smell.

This was a smell that was filled with the aura of life, which was the smell of pure medicinal essence.

When the head referee smelled this, he knew that she had already succeeded in eliminating all the impurities of the mixture. The only thing that was left for her to do was gather all of the medicinal essence together until it formed a pill, but that was the simplest thing for an alchemist to do.

The real hard part of refining any pill was extracting and refining the medicinal energy found inside of herbs. Once that was done, shaping that medicinal energy into a pill was so simple that any alchemist could do it with their eyes closed.

The fresh scent that came from the cauldron became stronger and stronger before suddenly disappearing. However, no one was surprised by the fact that the fresh scent had suddenly disappeared.

Of course it would disappear once it was compressed into the form of a pill.

The fact that not a single trace of that fresh scent remained was the more shocking thing since that meant that all of the medicinal energy of the herbs had been locked into the pill. Everyone was certain of one thing, this would be a pill of very high quality and purity.

After the fresh scent disappeared, Yuki also stopped supplying flames to the cauldron and allowed the temperature of the cauldron to drop until it returned to normal. Once the temperature returned to normal, she reached in to pull out the pill that was in the center.

As soon as she pulled it out, the head referee came to her side and started to look at the pill.

Yuki was surprised to see this old man suddenly coming to her side, but seeing how the referee acted around this man, she quickly figured out who this man was. She just moved to the side to give the head referee more room to check the pill.

The head referee looked at Yuki with a grateful look before he continued looking over the pill.

Everyone waited with bated breath as he continued looking over this pill, waiting for him to give his verdict.

As the head referee looked over the pill, the expression on his face went from surprised to shocked to disbelief. He picked up the pill and brought it to his nose to take a sniff before he looked at Yuki with a shocked look.

This pill…

After taking a while to recover from his shock, he slowly said, "You pass this exam, you can go get ready for the next round."

Yuki gave a nod in response and then turned to leave.

After she left, the head referee just looked at the referee and said, "Clean up this mess and if you do anything like this again, I'll personally take care of you."

Without even waiting for the referee to say anything, the head referee headed off with the pill that Yuki had refined.

The referee felt a chill run down his spine and he quickly gave a nod, but when he did, the head referee was already gone.

The head referee ignored everything as he headed into upper levels of the Alchemy King Hall branch building.

The exams were being held on the lower floors and the people that came for the exam were forbidden from going to the upper floors. That was because the upper floors were a restricted area that were only for the upper management of this Alchemy King Hall branch.

Nothing stopped the head referee as he headed up to the top floors and as soon as he arrived, he smoothly headed to an office that was on the top floor.

The person inside the office was surprised to see the head referee come in, but seeing the serious look on his face, he knew that the head referee didn't come in for nothing. He asked in a serious voice, "What happened?"

The head referee didn't say anything as he came right up to the desk and placed the pill that Yuki had refined in front of this person.

The person in the office looked at the pill and after a few seconds, he revealed the same look of disbelief that the head referee had when he had inspected the pill after it had been refined.

This person looked at the pill in a daze for a bit before turning to the head referee and asking, "Are you sure that this was made by an examinee?"

The head referee nodded and said, "I watched them make it." Then after a pause, he added, "I even saw them using the Concentration Purification Technique…"

The person revealed another shocked look as he said, "The Concentration Purification Technique? But that technique was lost a thousand years ago!"

The head referee didn't say anything in response to this.

The person then revealed a thoughtful look before saying, "We have to report to headquarters, this isn't something that we can handle alone."

The head referee nodded in agreement to this.
