Liu Yang tilts his head when he heard his words. His eyes flashing in golden light underneath his blindfold.
In an instant, his vision pierce through Alchemy Guild Master Shun's body. The flow of his blood, his heartbeat down to the movement of his muscles and bones.
He can't help but notice black substances clogging his meridians and covering his tendons.
Now that's a lot of impurities.
"The pill that you've just concocted is a 2nd tier High grade pill, the Impurity Purifying Pill capable of excreting the impurities inside the body." Liu suddenly commented causing the Alchemy Grandmaster and the female servants to turns to him in an instant.
"However, concocting an Impurity Purifying Pill while relying on an impure energy will cause the effectiveness of the pills to decrease."
Guild Master Shun narrowed his eyes at the blindfolded boy. He simply snorted in response.
He doesn't have times to bother with a kid wet behind his ears.
"If he wants to embarrass himself, then just let him take the Alchemy Apprentice Exam." Guild Master Shun snorted.
"Gui-guild Master, he is here for an Official Alchemy Exam." The female receptionist suddenly stated.
Smash!
The desk q beside Guild Master Shun that was conveniently there was shattered the moment it made contact with his palm.
"An official alchemist! A brat who is barely an adult wants to become an official alchemist?!" Guild Master Shun snapped.
"Do you think alchemy is a joke? The Dao of alchemy is as noble as other profession of the Dao. It requires tremendous amount of resources and times just to master a single pill."
"The youngest alchemist who was able to become an Official Alchemy was at the age of 25 and his rival was able to become an official alchemist at 26."
"Tens of thousands of years, it has been ten thousands years ever since their disappearance and no humans has been able to surpass their records throughout the cosmos."
"What makes you think that a brat like you can easily become an Official Alchemist?"
The Dao of Alchemy is extremely hard to cultivate for humans. The reason is because the heavens has limited the amounts of talents of the human race for alchemy
While the alchemy of humans decline, the alchemy of the Elvin race continue to prosper.
It was stated that tens of thousands of years ago, there were two rising geniuses of the human race. Both of them, born with unparalleled talent that were unrivaled in their generation.
Sadly, like a dying star, the two of them lit up the entire cosmos for decades before fading out into the background. No one knew where they had gone to.
Some said that both of them had died, some said that one of them had gotten pregnant with the other's child and had chose to lived their life together with their newborn and some had said that both of them had been killed by their enemies.
Nevertheless, both of them were legends during their generations. Although both of them have not reached the legendary Imperial Steps and had only reached the peak of the Mortal Steps, their names are still remembered until this day thanks to their feats tens of thousands of years ago.
After all, when both of you are unable to become a Saintly Alchemy Emperor because your comprehension are on par with each other, such a thing would naturally be remembered for generations to come.
When Liu Yang heard the Guild Master's words, his lips can't help but curls slightly, "Hmm, let's see. First of all, I've already paid more than enough spiritual stones to attend for this exam. Secondly, the Alchemy Guild allows it."
"You...."
Liu Yang grins widened.
This was sadly the truth for Guild Master Shun. The Alchemy Guild indeed allows some alchemists to skip a rank by attending an exam for a higher alchemy rank. However, doing so is unnecessary.
The reason?
Alchemists are extremely prideful.
What's the point of paying to skip an exam just to be able to goes through another?
Besides, considering that you can already excel at the higher ranking Alchemist exam, why be afraid of a lower test?
"So? Is there anything else Guild Master wish to clarify? If no then this one would love to have his exam as soon as possible."
That way I won't have to wastes my time on an insignificant Guild Master like you.
"You....." Veins can be seen bulging on the Guild Master's forehead.
Gritting his teeth he said, "Fine, if you want to embarrass yourself then go ahead."
Liu Yang merely smiled, "I'm afraid that dream of yours won't come true."
Guild Master Shun simply snorted, "Kids these days doesn't understand the difference of the heavens and earth."
Liu Yang chuckle. Turning to the female apprentice, he asks, "So, when can I start my test?"
The female receptionist was startled.
"The exam hall is right over here young master Liu."
The examination hall is located at the very centre of the premise. Inside the examination hall, a group of Alchemy Apprentices gathered. There are tens of them and each stood like an elegant noble.
The door of the hall was opened. Liu Yang walks in. In an instant, all eyes turned to him.
The moment Liu Yang stepped into the hall, a strong herbal scent invaded his nose. The walls is decorated with dragon mutals carved from the finest of jade. When he looks down, his eyes gleams, sensing the presence of a powerful formation.
The formation helps gathers the spiritual Qi outside. It is connected to a fire spiritual vein deep underground, making this entire room rich in fire spiritual Qi.
He looks up to the sky.
In the ceiling is another formation, gathering a huge amount of spiritual Qi from the moon, helping stabilising the temperature.
"Interesting." Liu Yang mutters.
Using this same concept, he wonders if he can create a sabre technique that absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi to helps strengthens it's power.
"You must be young master Liu Yang, the genius who had paid to be able to take today's examination." An Alchemy Master can't help but mutters.
Liu Yang raised an eyebrow. Oh, so that's how it is.
The moment the Alchemy Master spoke, all eyes turned to him with hostility.
Alchemists are extremely proud. When they heard that Liu Yang had paid to take on the examination for an Official Alchemist some of them looks at him with disdains.
Naturally, Liu Yang was calm. In his opinion, nothing in this world could shake him mentally.
Under the scrutinized looks of the present Alchemy Apprentices present, Liu Yang stepped forward. He strode to the front row without much care with his hands in his pocket. With each steps, the sounds of footsteps echoes inside the now quite hall.
The chairs had been arranged into two groups, each with tens of rows. Because of this, there is enough space for him to walks in the middle of the two groups.
With a single wave of his hand, a chair from the back row flew into his grasp. He continues to walk, dragging the chair with a small screech that resounded inside the hall.
Arriving right before the Alchemy Master, Liu Yang put down the chair and sat down. He crossed his legs and supported his head with his palm.
At that moment, his aura changed. Before he looks so casual, carrying himself with an air of laziness.
Now he carries himself like that of an emperor.
"Alchemy Master Lin, may this one asks what kinds of pill me and these juniors will be concoction for out test today?" Liu Yang smiles as he look up to the Alchemy Master.
Alchemy Master Lin narrowed his eyes, "The High ranked healing pill, Heart Cloud Pill."
"A Heart Cloud Pill." Liu Yang nodded his head, "It will requires a Heart Soothing Flower, three finger sized Black White Acacia Root, a pinch of Moon Lotus powder and a Golden Emperor Tree Branch."
"Each of these herbs, although easy and can he found anywhere, because of the concoction process and the extreme heat needed, the herbs required must be the best of quality or else they will be burnt to ashes."
"Not to mention, during the concoction process the herbs will become extremely fragile therefore the alchemist concocting the pills will have to have a high control over their flame.'
As he said ths, Liu Yang turns his head to glance the table. On the top of the table, the herbs that he had enlisted had been arranged.
The smile on his face widened into a grin that reveals row of white teeth, "As expected of the Alchemy Guild. To be able to find these herbs with such quality in this spiritual depleted world, it was a shame that the alchemists of your guild at least of this branch are all useless trash."
Hearing Liu Yang's words, the Alchemy Apprentices present voiced their opinions.
"Who do you think you are?!"
"You are just a kid who was born with rich parents. Did you think that because you got a rich parents you can say anything you want?"
"When you are still sucking your mother's milk I was already learning how to control memorising recipes for pills and elixirs!"
"Even those from nobles clans will have to bow down to us alchemists. Who are you to say that we are trashes?"
Hearing their remarks, Liu Yang yawned, "When can we start the test?"
He is already bored with being in the same room as these self centered alchemists.
Alchemy Master Lin coughed, "Very well we shall start the test."
There is nothing that they can do. Liu Yang had already paid and the rules of their guild stated that they should accept his request no matter what. Not to mention, he had easily recited the recipe for the concoction including
With that, the examination began.
All the alchemists walks to the cauldron that had been prepared for them. Liu Yang touches the cauldron, feeling the smoothness and the engravement of dragons on the cauldron.
The corner of his lips curled, feeling somewhat proud to what that man had done when he was still alive.
"The concoction may begin now." Alchemy Master Lin announced.
At that moment, simultaneously inside the room soul power and fire essence erupted from every alchemists.
Their hands move, picking up each herbs that are required for the concoction of the Heart Cloud Pill.
The Heart Cloud Pill is not only considered as a High ranked healing pill, it is also considered the best pill amongst all High ranked healing pills. The concoction process are complicated, using extreme heat on herbs that can't withstand high heat. Whoever it was who concocted this pill is a psychopath who wants to see the next generations suffer.
However, only one figure did not move. While others are focusing on perfecting their concoction, the blindfolded boy simply folded his arms together, staring at the jade cauldron before him.
He still remembers that he had worn a jade coloured robe in honour of that person when he defeated that man. Countless alchemists had came, wanted to see their defeat only to ended up having their best alchemist defeated with a single palm strike.
The funny thing was that it was an alchemy duel in the first place. A duel to see who can concoct better pills.
He came prepared for a duel of fire and soul, his opponent sadly only brought fist and no shame-with a hint of pettiness.
However, he was too arrogant. Why should he care if it was a duel of alchemy?
He is stronger and therefore can do as please.
And do as he pleased was what he did.
A powerful soul power erupted from Liu Yang's body, a bright golden essence light up around his entire figure.
Even the best Alchemists had once writhed underneath my feet like worms. Who give you juniors the right to be arrogant in my presence?
A devilish grin adorned Liu Yang's face
