C165 Number Two
One had to know that he had been staring blankly all this time. Other than Lin Cheng suddenly putting his palms together, he did not have any other extra movements. This meant that Lin Cheng did not even divide the ___!
When an alchemist was refining the pill, he melted the required ingredients into medicinal liquid. Then, he would use his unique technique to remove the impurities and refine the flowing medicinal liquid into a pill. There was also an extremely crucial step in this process. It was to divide the ___!
The medicinal liquid would not automatically turn into a pill. If one did not divide the medicinal liquid, at the end of the refinement, the medicinal liquid would only turn into a charred piece. In the end, it would even be wasted, and the cauldron of medicinal liquid would be destroyed.
Therefore, when an alchemist was about to form the pill, he would need to use some techniques to separate the medicinal liquid that was about to dry and harden. Then, he would refine it and turn it into numerous pill.
The quantity of the Cultivation Level formed was directly related to the alchemist's technique, attainments, and even his own Cultivation Level. Therefore, an ordinary alchemist might only be able to produce a few pills from the same cauldron of medicinal liquid. However, for a tier 5, tier 6 alchemist, or even higher alchemist, they could refine dozens of pills!
This process was called the Pill Dividing Pill!
However, what Yan Wuqing could not understand no matter what was happening was that he could only watch helplessly as Lin Cheng completed the final refinement. However, he did not see Lin Cheng dividing the ___.
He only saw Lin Cheng put his palms together and suspend them above the pill furnace. He did not use any unique techniques, nor did he open the furnace lid.
However, at the last moment, Lin Cheng struck the pill furnace with his palm, sending the furnace lid flying. Immediately after, a green smoke rose from the furnace. This green smoke also carried a faint fragrance.
As an alchemist, Yan Wuqing naturally understood what this faint fragrance meant. This was a smell that only the pill with a good quality could have.
Now, he could still smell a faint fragrance even from such a far distance. This was enough to show how shocking the quality of the pill Lin Cheng refined was!
However, the more it was like this, the more difficult it was for Yan Wuqing to accept it. One had to know that even if he did not take this test seriously, therefore, he didn't go all out, but he knew it in his heart. No matter what, he was unable to refine it within such a short period of time.
Moreover, it was a pill with such a good quality!
This was impossible!
I must be seeing things!
This thought subconsciously surfaced in Yan Wuqing's mind. He didn't believe that Lin Cheng's skill in alchemy would be so outstanding. However, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Lin Cheng's sonorous and powerful voice.
"Senior, thank you for your help. I have already completed the concoction!"
"Swoosh!"
Instantly, the gazes of many people in the surroundings turned over in unison, and their gazes carried astonishment. Another person has finished refining the pill?
However, when they recovered from their shock, even though it was done now... This would leave a deep impression on the cultivator of Unification Sect. However, it was impossible for him to pass the test directly, unless the quality of the pill he refined was excellent. He would be able to win from the numerous alchemists.
However, to these alchemists, no one was willing to admit that someone else's skill in alchemy was higher than theirs. Therefore, many of them looked at Lin Cheng with a gloating expression.
"You have completed it?"
At this moment, the cultivator had already arrived in front of Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng cupped his fists and said, "Yes, senior, I have completed it!"
The cultivator picked up the pill and looked at it. It could not help but raise its brows. Its gaze landed on Lin Cheng again and asked, "This pill of yours, it seems to be somewhat wrong, right?"
Lin Cheng knew that this kind of simple pill could not be hidden from the cultivator. He also did not want to hide it from the cultivator, so he calmly nodded. "Yes, senior, I saw the pill formula..."
However, just as he said this, the cultivator waved its sleeve. "I know! Wait for the final candidate to be announced."
Lin Cheng was slightly startled, and then nodded.
The cultivator looked at him again, and Lin Cheng could not help but be slightly stunned in his heart. He felt that the cultivator's gaze towards him seemed to have some deeper meaning, and this made him feel puzzled. Could it be that he had changed the pill formula and caused this cultivator to dislike him?
"Ha!"
A mocking laugh suddenly rang out. Lin Cheng frowned. He didn't even need to look back to know that it was Yan Wuqing laughing.
Yan Wuqing was indeed extremely carefree, especially when he saw that the pill Lin Cheng refined was rejected by the cultivator. He even wanted to throw his head back and laugh a few times.
There seemed to be something wrong with the pill!
These were the exact words that the cultivator had said. When the word 'wrong' came out of the cultivator's mouth, it basically determined that Lin Cheng's pill did not meet the requirements. This was equivalent to deciding Lin Cheng's final outcome.
As long as Lin Cheng did not pass the test, he would not be able to obtain the protection of the Unification Sect. At that time, he would have countless ways to make Lin Cheng unable to live or die!
"What a pity. I have risked my life to complete the refinement, but I only managed to obtain second place. However, this second place didn't live up to his name. The pill that he refined is not right, haha..." Feeling pleased with himself, Yan Wuqing could not help but laugh out loud and mock.
When the alchemists in the vicinity heard this, many of them could not help but reveal mocking smiles.
Lin Cheng's expression was calm, as if he didn't hear Yan Wuqing's ridicule at all. He just stood there quietly, waiting for the final result of the Unification Sect's cultivator.
As for Yan Wuqing's ridicule... If mocking could kill his opponent, then he wouldn't need to focus on cultivating and crazily cultivating combat skills!
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
At this time, most of the people had already finished refining and the announcement of their completion rose and fell.
Everyone's gaze was focused on the cultivator. They looked at him with hope, hoping to hear the news of him passing the examination from his mouth.
Some of them were calm and composed. Their faces carried confidence and complacency. They were certain that they could pass the test.
Among them was the first alchemist who had completed the refinement. At this moment, he had his head held high and his chest puffed out. He was full of energy, and from time to time, he would turn his head to look at the other alchemists, his eyes filled with pride.
"It's done!"
At this moment, the white-robed cultivator spoke. He stood on the high platform and said loudly, "Since most of the people have already completed the refinement, the examination will end here."
"Huala!"
A crisp sound.
An alchemist stood on the square with a pale face. In front of him were the scattered herbs and the shattered pill furnace.
The medicinal liquid flowing out of the pill furnace indicated that he had yet to complete the refinement. When the white-robed cultivator announced the end of the examination, it meant that he had been completely eliminated. Even though he already knew in his heart that he would not be able to pass the test.
0
There were also many people with pale faces. They knew that if they didn't pass the test, they might lose the only chance to join the Unification Sect!
Seeing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Regardless of whether it was the alchemists with high status or the Cultivating Warrior that could be seen everywhere, they all respected the sects of the Cultivation Realm.
However, these people probably didn't know that the sect wasn't as beautiful as they had imagined. Even someone as ungrateful as Zuo Mu could become an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect. His disciple, Cheng Qinluo, was even more eager to toy with Male Pet. A sect like this... Where can it be clean?
"The fifth alchemist from the left of the third row, come onto the stage." At this moment, the voice of the white-robed cultivator sounded once again.
"Buzz ~"
When the alchemists in the square heard this, they immediately turned around to look for the alchemist mentioned by the cultivator.
"Me?"
Lin Cheng could not help but be slightly startled. The white-robed cultivator was referring to his location!
Seeing Lin Cheng's puzzled expression, the white robe cultivator smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's you. Young man, you are the first to complete the pill refinement. Please come up now!"
Hua!
When the white-robed cultivator said this, the square immediately went into an uproar. Everyone looked at the white-robed cultivator on the high platform with astonishment, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
At the same time, there were some people who were staring at Lin Cheng furiously.
"This is cheating!"
"He is clearly the second one to complete the pill refinement. How can he distort the truth in front of so many people? Is this test a joke?!"
"This person is simply the disgrace of all the apothecaries! We are ashamed to be associated with him!"
"That's right! Despicable person, since you have already secretly confirmed it, why are you pretending to participate in the examination?! "
Countless angry voices were heard, and many people were staring at Lin Cheng with hatred.
No matter how stupid they were, they knew that they had been fooled. They also knew what kind of shady plot was hidden behind this so-called public exam.
These alchemists didn't dare to do anything to the cultivator on the platform, and immediately pointed the spearhead at Lin Cheng.
Unification Hall's main hall.
On the square.
Most of the alchemists couldn't help but look angry. They stared at Lin Cheng from all directions. They hated this guy who was favored by the cultivator. It could even be said that they hated him.
He had clearly taken the examination seriously, but in the end, he had been toyed with. Especially those who had come to participate in the examination, they were all looking forward to their own outstanding performance. To be able to be valued by the cultivator of the Unification Sect, and finally knock open the door of the Unification Sect... Joining the Unification Sect was something that countless people dreamt of!
However, reality had given them the first blow. To think that this white-robed cultivator would appear in front of so many people. To openly side with Lin Cheng made them feel despair. It was as if their path of joining the Unification Sect had been cut off.
How could these people not be angry?
"Senior!"
A voice suddenly rang out. This voice was filled with anger, and it was extremely loud. It practically covered the other chaotic voices. "Senior, you are a cultivator, yet you are so biased towards this person. How can you convince the masses?"
Everyone looked over and saw that the person who spoke was a man in his prime. This person was none other than the first alchemist who had finished refining the ___.
