Free Web NovelChapter 1980: Chapter 1969: Very Unique
Every alchemist who has achieved success in alchemy knows one skill: warming the furnace before performing alchemy.
Only in this way can the Immortality Elixir be made even more excellent.
Obviously, the participants in today’s examination do not understand the technique of warming.
Even these two began to study alchemy.
The gray-clothed elder has been preparing two bottles of Immortality Elixir for the Xiao Family. He rarely looked up at other examiners.
But as he inadvertently scanned the hall, he was attracted by Ao Cangsheng’s actions.
Among many examiners, Ao Cangsheng’s actions seemed quite sudden.
While others were speeding up the mixture of feed, preparing to make pills in the furnace, Ao Cangsheng was still warming the furnace.
Seeing this scene, the gray-clothed elder was startled at first, then his eyes suddenly showed an interesting expression.
During most of the subsequent fragrant time, the elder’s eyes almost never left that gray robe.
When Ao Cangsheng finished warming the furnace and started alchemy, the gray-clothed elder’s eyes gradually became astonished.
Because he suddenly discovered that Ao Cangsheng’s alchemy was not only clever but also very unique.
Even high-level alchemists had never seen alchemy like Ao Cangsheng’s.
Filtering, blending, smelting, firefighting, among other alchemy procedures, in Ao Cangsheng’s hands, seemed to no longer be a monotonous thing, but rather became extremely artistic.
Even high-level alchemists like the gray-clothed elder could not help but keep watching Ao Cangsheng’s alchemy.
Looking at the other examiners, some had stern expressions, some were tense, and some frowned.
Compared with Ao Cangsheng’s manner which was as leisurely as clouds, others could not be seen at all.
Finally, before half an inch of incense was burned, Ao Cangsheng’s alchemy ended.
After wiping the utensils in front of the lamp, Ao Cangsheng wiped his hands, picked up the lamp, and walked towards the gray-clothed elder.
At this moment, the gray-clothed elder’s eyes underwent a dramatic change.
Compared to his indifferent gaze, the gray-clothed elder’s eyes now conveyed appreciation and affirmation, along with curiosity and urgency.
For the first time, he saw such perfect alchemy.
Because of this, he was eager to see what kind of Immortality Elixir this young man could achieve with such flamboyant actions.
"Master, I have refined the Spring Sun Pills. Please take a look!"
Ao Cangsheng placed the bottle of faint red Immortality Elixir before the gray-clothed elder and said respectfully.
If Ao Cangsheng hadn’t spoken up, he would have immediately attracted attention.
There was still half a minute before the incense column burned out.
Many people were still racing against time to refine the Immortality Elixir, but Ao Kangsheng had already handed over the elixir, which was shocking.
Even the two, upon seeing Ao Kangsheng’s pills, their eyes suddenly showed a hint of jealousy.
Especially Xiao Lan’er, upon seeing the round Pure Yang Pill, a hint of annoyance clearly flashed in his eyes.
As the noblewoman of the Xiao Family, she was the first to begin refining.
And this man, or the one who had just offended him, was this not slapping her face?
However, Xiao Lan’er had no time to deal with Ao Cangsheng, as her elixir was not yet refined.
The gray-clothed elder listened to Ao Cangsheng’s words and carefully examined the pill.
Looking at it, the gray-clothed elder couldn’t help but frown. He suddenly realized this pill was only a sixth-level pill.
In other words, the pill refined by Ao Cangsheng was just slightly above the examination requirement.
Seeing this, the gray-clothed elder looked at Ao Cangsheng in surprise.
Ao Cangsheng smiled and nodded at the gray-clothed elder.
Wearing the gray-clothed elder was curious. He thought Ao Cangsheng’s alchemy was clever and unique. How could he make such a pill?
Just as the gray-clothed elder was puzzled, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Because at that moment, he suddenly discovered the difference.
Then, the gray-clothed elder picked up the pill, eager to examine it carefully.
After a while, the gray-clothed elder looked at Ao Cangsheng and said, "Eight-foot Pure Yang Pill?"
Ao Cangsheng smiled and nodded, "My vision is keen!"
Suddenly, the gray-clothed elder gasped in admiration for Ao Cangsheng.
As a seasoned alchemist, the gray-clothed elder knew very well that, in some ways, the quality of pills is even harder than the level of pills.
For instance, a second-rate alchemist may be able to easily produce second-tier pills, but may not be able to produce high-quality first-grade pills.
Just like the five-level Pure Yang Pill before you, its grade may be far inferior to one level. However, its pill quality could be dozens of times that of a single pill.
"Boy, how did you do it?"
"Exactly! This alchemy, I exceed it. Uncle Lu, you must help me carefully examine my pill!"
The two members of the Xiao Family saw the gray-clothed elder dismissing them, and the pair immediately spoke boastfully.
While speaking, Xiao Lan’er took a look at Ao Sheng.
The gray-clothed elder couldn’t resist the two mad girls, so he had to pretend to carefully examine their pills.
"Well, not bad! You two mad girls were able to refine Eighth Level Elixirs, which truly surprises me!"
The gray-clothed elder smiled admiringly, then returned the pills to the jade plate.
"Does that mean we both passed the examination?"
Upon hearing the gray-clothed elder’s comments, the purple-clothed elder said happily.
The gray-clothed elder nodded. "Of course. Your two pills completely exceed the examination requirements, so entering the Golden Core Hospital is no problem."
As they spoke, several examiners brought their own pills to the gray-clothed elder.
Hearing the gray-clothed elder’s affirmation, the purple-clothed girl turned and left the hall.
Only Xiao Lan’er remained by the gray-clothed elder’s side, seeming reluctant to leave.
"Lan’er, what are you doing here? I’ve told you you passed the examination."
Seeing Xiao Lan’er not leaving, the gray-clothed elder asked in surprise.
"Did this boy pass the examination?"
Xiao Lan’er suddenly stretched out her hand, pointing at Cangsheng, her face indifferent.
The gray-clothed elder looked at Ao Cangsheng and smiled wryly, "Yeah, what’s wrong?"
Xiao Lan’er sneered, "Uncle Lu, didn’t you promise me? Now I want you to fulfill it."
The gray-clothed elder seemed to know Xiao Lan’er would say this. He chuckled dryly, "Lan’er, how about we change the terms?"
"Impossible!"
Xiao Lan’er looked hateful, staring at the gray-clothed elder.
"How about this? Uncle Lu will give you some pills. How about letting him go?"
The gray-clothed elder tried to be friendly, looking at Xiao Lan’er with expectant eyes.
"Impossible!"
Xiao Lan’er remained indifferent, refusing the gray-clothed elder’s request again.
"Then what do you suggest? As long as you don’t let this boy leave the Golden Core Hospital, Uncle Lu will agree to anything."
The helpless gray-clothed elder circled around again.
This was his first time being bullied by a little girl.
"You said it!"
Upon hearing it, Xiao Lan’er sneered.
Upon seeing such a sneer, not only did other examiners feel cold, but even the gray-clothed elder suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I want this boy to be my servant, calling him anytime I want!"
Xiao Lan’er squinted her eyes and said coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
They witnessed Xiao Lan’er’s brutality firsthand.
Once she becomes her servant, one is bound to be killed if not enslaved.
This manner of dying is chilling just to think about.
