C1574 Iron Cauldron
Right at this moment, Zhong Wen had already entered the examination room. After looking around, he saw that there was only a seat beside Lingji, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
Regarding Lingji, he always felt that there was some psychological trauma in his heart. However, after seeing Yang Xuan sitting next to Lingji and recalling what his teacher had said, Zhong Wen couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Yang Xuan noticed Zhong Wen's gaze and couldn't help but turn his head to look. He felt that something was wrong. He also couldn't explain why. He just couldn't understand why Zhong Wen, whose finger had been broken, could still smile so happily.
Zhong Wen had already taken out his medicinal ingredients. Yang Xuan immediately recognized what kind of pill formula these medicinal ingredients belonged to. It was a type of pill called the 'Snow Soaking Pill'. It could be considered a relatively ordinary pill amongst spirit grade pill. Its effect was to allow a cultivator's Spiritual Force to transform into an ice element in a short period of time.
Similar to this pill, there was also the 'Hellfire Pill'. The 'Eternal Gold Pill', the 'Thunder Night Pill', and so on. The 'Snow Soil Pill' could be considered to be a relatively simple pill to be refined within this type of pill. After all, amongst all the Spiritual Force, the ice-type Spiritual Force could be considered to be a rather lazy Spiritual Force. It was only inferior to earth-type Spiritual Force, so refining it was much easier.
However, there were two additional medicinal ingredients in this pill formula that Yang Xuan had never seen before. Presumably, it was an improved pill formula.
Yang Xuan immediately curled his lips. He did not believe that this was Zhong Wen's own strength. One! A person who wasn't even a spirit grade alchemist could improve a spirit grade pill formula. Then, all the other Spirit Grade alchemists could commit suicide by jumping into the river. Needless to say, this was definitely the work of his teacher, Shoutan. After all, it was not strange for an Immortal Grade alchemist to be able to improve the Spirit Grade pill formula.
Although the Elixir Association's examination was renowned for being fair and just, this was clearly a loophole. After all, the Elixir Association couldn't possibly allow the alchemist to develop the pill formula himself.
At this moment, Shoutan actually walked in from outside the examination room. He said something to Su Yan who was standing on the stage. Su Jia was a little surprised at first, then he nodded his head. She walked towards the door. Shoutan, on the other hand, stood at the top of the stage and said to the crowd, "Everyone, Elder Su Jia has encountered some issues, so he can't continue with the main examination. Therefore, I will be the one in charge of the main examination this time. "
Yang Xuan frowned immediately. Ling Ji leaned close to Yang Xuan's ear and whispered to him, "This Su Jia is Shoutan's junior brother. He must be with Shoutan. You have to be careful later."
A fragrant wind came from the girl's mouth, making Yang Xuan's ears itch. Yang Xuan nodded slightly, but he noticed that Shoutan was looking at him.
"Hey, those two in the corner, what are you whispering about?" Shoutan reminded when he saw Ling Ji talking to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan, however, went with the flow. He stood up and said to Shoutan, "Elder, this Alchemist Lingji said that she will help me cheat later. Do you want to chase him out?"
The crowd was in an uproar. It was impossible that they didn't know Ling Ji's status in the Elixir Association. Just based on Yang Xuan's words alone, even if Shoutan was given a hundred guts, Shoutan didn't dare to chase Ling Ji out. But he also didn't have the courage to bring the two of them out to investigate.
Yang Xuan's words had infuriated Shoutan, but he couldn't do anything to Yang Xuan. He could only say in a deep voice, "Do your own thing. Don't whisper to each other."
After that, he looked at the spirit stone bell on the wall and said to everyone, "Alright. Everyone, prepare your medicinal cauldrons. The examination is about to begin soon."
As he spoke, he began to walk around the examination room. He inspected everyone's tabletops. When he arrived in front of Yang Xuan, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Because there were three different sets of medicinal herbs on Yang Xuan's table. With his experience, they were all quite high level existences within the Spiritual Grade pill.
Yang Xuan glanced at Shoutan provocatively and said to him, "Elder, is your disciple, who has lost a finger, able to pass this test?"
Shoutan suddenly had the impulse to attack Yang Xuan and kill him. But he knew that he absolutely couldn't do anything in this place. Otherwise, with the revenge of Lingji and the crime of attacking the alchemist of Elixir Association, he would definitely be the target of everyone in the Heaven Realm.
Therefore, even though his nose was crooked due to anger, he could only snort coldly. He said, "Mind your own business. I think the pill recipes you chose this time are quite difficult. Be careful not to spoil it. After all, there are no successful medicinal ingredients. That's a lot of points off. "
Shoutan said, but he was laughing coldly in his heart. He only thought that Yang Xuan wanted to rely on the pill that he did not succeed to gather points and refine three times to gather enough points to pass the test. However, the person who scored was still Shoutan. With his eyesight, he could easily point out a large number of mistakes. At that time, he would not be able to decide how many points would be deducted.
As long as he dealt with Yang Xuan within the rules, even Ling Lingji wouldn't be able to say anything.
But just at this time, he saw Yang Xuan actually take out an iron cauldron and place it on the table. Moreover, there was still burnt ashes that had not been cleaned within the medicinal cauldron. It looked like a large cauldron that was used to cook in the past.
This time, even Lingji could not sit still. She looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "Xuan Yang, do you not have a medicinal cauldron that belongs to you? Why don't I lend you one? I still have a pretty good medicinal cauldron here."
Yang Xuan looked at the snow-white medicinal cauldron that was placed on Lingji's table and his eyes involuntarily lit up. This medicinal cauldron was lined with Black Flame Gold, increasing the temperature within the cauldron. There were ice crystals and cold iron outside to suppress the temperature outside the cauldron. There were also many formations of various sizes inscribed on it. It was a rare divine cauldron.
However, Yang Xuan still shook his head and said, "No need. This is a treasure that was forged from cooked iron. It has only been formed after a series of heating, quenching, polishing, and polishing. It's very sturdy. I didn't even break it when I fell from ten meters high last time. It's a treasure. "
Ling Ji couldn't help but roll her eyes. She wanted to kick Yang Xuan's calf a few times. The medicinal cauldron was not like a weapon. Although toughness was indeed one of the factors that determined the quality of the medicinal cauldron... However, which family's medicinal cauldron was not broken because it could not be broken... It could be turned into a treasure?
The surrounding crowd immediately laughed. It was not mocking Yang Xuan. They were merely amused by Yang Xuan's words. Yang Xuan's words were obviously meant for Shoutan to hear. He was telling Shoutan, "Even if I use a broken cauldron, my skill in alchemy is still better than your disciple's."
Shoutan's face instantly turned red. He couldn't help but glare at Zhong Wen.
In fact, Zhong Wen had already participated in a spirit grade alchemist test once. However, he did not pass it. The second test was because of Zhong Wen's pestering. Otherwise, Shoutan would not have brought Zhong Wen, who was already weak, to participate in the test.
Zhong Wen also knew that he had embarrassed Shoutan, so he lowered his head in shame.1
