Already, quite a few sects and forces have set their sights on Yang Chen.
Although the dual special grade is not enough to make these sects and forces scramble to win him over, it is certain that they are starting to pay attention and observe Yang Chen. As long as Yang Chen performs excellently in the third round of assessment, it would be a sure thing to win him over.
“Just who is this Yang Chen?”
“I’ve never heard of someone with such an amazing alchemy talent before.”
“That’s something you probably don’t know. This Yang Chen chose to take both the alchemy and martial arts exams. It’s worth mentioning that this kid fares poorly in the martial arts exam, though. He has only a third-tier talent for the Fourth Level of Spirit Martial Realm cultivation. This sort of excessive growth in martial arts has already been eliminated by many major sects and been blacklisted.’
“However, what’s interesting is that his alchemy talent is so astonishing. This is quite unexpected.”
Among those who paid special attention to Yang Chen, there was also the beautiful woman with the Luo surname from Yanhua Pool.
Today, Madam Luo had come to the assessment site and brought her own disciple with her. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that her disciple was a young girl aged seventeen or eighteen, wearing green gauze and looking pure and untainted, like lotus leaves in a pond, indescribably charming.
Although the young girl could not be described as a peerless beauty, calling her a beautiful woman was not an exaggeration.
Madam Luo stared at Yang Chen in the field, stroking her chin, and asked thoughtfully, “Huawu, what do you think of Young Master Yang? Do you think he would make a good husband?”
“He does look quite good.” MO Huawu pouted and laughed.
Madam Luo rolled her eyes: “I asked you to look at him as a person, not at his appearance.”
MO Huawu smiled and said, “Master, don’t be mad, I was just joking. You’ve also told me about Young Master Yang. His achievements in the soul aspect are extraordinary, and most importantly, his performance today shows that he has a truly outstanding talent in alchemy! As for being a husband… Master, what do you think?”
Madam Luo rubbed her eyebrows: “Although his martial arts cultivation path has been blocked by his own excessive growth, he is indeed extremely talented in alchemy. If you were to marry him, you must never look down on him and support him for life. With his alchemy accomplishments, this would be beneficial to you for the rest of your life.”
Seeing that her master was serious, MO Huawu’s face turned red: “Master, are you serious?
“Nonsense, of course I’m serious. Hurry up and get ready. We must win Yang
Chen over to our Yanhua Pool no matter what!” Madam Luo waved her hand.
“Master, are you kidding? Our Yanhua Pool doesn’t focus on alchemy.” MO Huawu was puzzled.
Madam Luo smiled: “Are you slow-witted? Who wouldn’t want to have a future alchemy master in their family?”
What a joke.
Having an alchemy master would benefit the entire sect. It’s just a pity that the alchemy geniuses in the past were all taken by the Huangshan Sect. However, hehe, the Elder Yu of Huangshan Sect had a quarrel with Yang Chen yesterday. It wouldn’t be so easy for Elder Yu to win Yang Chen over now.
Since that’s the case, why wouldn’t their Yanhua Pool take advantage of this opportunity and seize the opening?
MO Huawu was naturally obedient to her master. Even if her master asked her to marry Yang Chen, she wouldn’t frown. She replied immediately, “Yes, Master, I’ll go get ready now. By the way, Master, is there anything specific I need to prepare?”
“Something specific to prepare? Well… there is one thing.” Madam Luo smiled as she glanced at MO Huawu.Mo HuaWu’s pretty face flushed, “Master, why are you staring at me like that?”
“Why? Just remember to dress yourself up nicely. After this assessment is over, I’ll take you to meet Yang Chen,” said Luoxing Beauty.
Hearing this, MO HuaWu was dumbfounded and immediately revealed her girly charm, “Ma…Master, I’ll go get ready now.”
She thought her master was joking.
But now it seemed that her master really meant it when she asked her to dress up nicely.
Seeing Luoxing Beauty’s urgent attempt to get close to Yang Chen, Elder Yu, who was by her side, said with great displeasure, “Ahem, Elder Luo, this third assessment is the most crucial. It’s where we see the key to an Alchemist’s talent. You’re so eager to get close to him, aren’t you afraid that this kid will underperform in the third round?”
He was the most frustrated, and seeing Luoxing Beauty so flustered, he didn’t mind throwing in some sarcastic remarks.
Luoxing Beauty smirked, “Elder Yu, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Otherwise, by the time you see this little guy’s talent and try to get close to him, it may already be too late. Hehe, besides, I like this little guy and want to take him in as an adopted son. What’s wrong with that?”
Elder Yu snorted and stopped talking.
Nowadays, with the end of the second level of the assessment, the third round has naturally begun.
The Chief Tester with his hands behind his back, his tone serious and expression heavy, said, “This third round of assessment is the most critical link in testing your Alchemy talent. Our Beishan Main City’s Chief Alchemist, Master Hu Dan, will develop a new and obscure second-grade elixir for the basic assessment’s third round assessment topic in each alchemy assessment! Of course, the elixir is only a second-grade, not difficult to refine, so there is no need to worry.”
“Of course, don’t take your chances. You’ve never seen this elixir before. We’ll prepare five sets of materials for you and give you the pill formula. The less materials you can use and the better the results of the elixir you refine, the better your alchemy talent! We’ll also grade your test accordingly based on your performance.”
An Alchemist, after a long time refining a certain elixir, naturally wants to refine it to whatever desired quality.
But it’s different now.
This time, they give you the pill formula and let you learn it on the spot!
For many alchemists, this is almost an impossible task because even with the pill formula, it is difficult for many alchemists to refine an elixir within five tries.
This is the test of an Alchemist’s talent to see how adaptable you are.
“In this assessment, all of you will participate together. Now take out your pill furnaces. Remember to use ordinary pill furnaces and flames. Examiner Wang, distribute the materials and pill formulas.” The Chief Tester instructed.
Upon hearing this, Examiner Wang naturally didn’t hesitate and handed out the materials and pill formulas.
Yang Chen received the pill formula for the so-called ‘Chi Lian Dan’ and took a quick glance, losing interest almost immediately.
This wasn’t weird at all.
In his previous life, he had developed countless elixirs that shocked the continent, and those elixirs were even difficult to measure with grades. Naturally, they were not comparable to this mere second-grade elixir. In fact, when refining elixirs, even the most innovative ones still follow the same principles.
For such an obviously second-grade elixir, even without the pill formula, he could instantly analyze dozens of materials to refine the elixir just by being told its effects.
Now that he had the pill formula, refining it was as if it were child’s play for him..
