302: Try to control the score

Jiang Ning succeeded.

He was incredibly skilled, having mastered the entire process.

Taking the Medicinal Pill out of the Pill Furnace, this Blood Coagulation Pill glowed with a deep red luster.

Light and darkness were miraculously balanced.

Jiang Ning observed it carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good thing I held back this time and didn’t refine the embryonic form of Pill Veins; otherwise, if those old geezers saw it, they probably wouldn’t let me leave.”

Jiang Ning was very satisfied with his “score-controlling” ability.

It was impressive enough, but not absolutely stunning.

Everything was still within a reasonable range.

Jiang Ning held the Medicinal Pill.

He looked around.

Pill Minister had previously ruined one set of medicinal ingredients for a Medicinal Pill, and now he had two attempts left.

Currently, Pill Minister was attempting his second try.

“His approach is correct.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

“As expected of the Genius who could travel with the female lead Yun Qingyao for a time in the original novel, in the Domain of Alchemy, he truly is the best among the younger generation. His Comprehension Ability is incredible!

If I hadn’t cheated, I definitely wouldn’t be able to beat Pill Minister, who has such high Comprehension Ability.”

He then looked at Gongsun Wangyue.

Gongsun Wangyue was barely mentioned in the original novel, perhaps a sentence or two, nothing important, and Jiang Ning had forgotten him.

Gongsun Wangyue was currently imbuing the Medicinal Pill with spirit.

Seeing the faint smile on his face, Jiang Ning felt that the fellow was a bit too confident too early.

However, being able to comprehend to this level was enough to show Gongsun Wangyue’s Alchemy talent.

As for Yun Qingqing.

This girl, however, found an unconventional path.

Originally, if one couldn’t find spirituality, it would generally be impossible to demonstrate an understanding of Alchemy Technique in the Alchemy assessment.

But this girl actually used a method of enhancing spirituality to first stimulate the medicinal properties of the ingredients, and then sought a new balance.

She was clever, but her Comprehension Ability was far inferior to the previous two.

Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze.

He was about to submit his Medicinal Pill.

Just as he was about to stand up.

Xu Sheng, who hadn’t said much, stood up.

“I’m done!”

Xu Sheng took a Blood Coagulation Pill from the Pill Furnace, then walked to the front, and handed it to Elixir Patrol and others through the “examiners” on the field.

The onlookers, who had been somewhat drowsy, immediately perked up upon hearing Xu Sheng’s words and looked in the direction of Elixir Patrol and the others.

Elixir Patrol and the others held no expectations for Xu Sheng’s Medicinal Pill.

Only the Director of the Xu Family still harbored a sliver of hope.

He kept silently chanting “What if?” “What if?” in his heart.

The moment he saw the Medicinal Pill.

The Xu Family Director knew there was no “what if.”

The Medicinal Pill was complete, but within it, there was no trace of the Alchemy Technique assessment.

Elixir Patrol and the others looked at the Xu Family Director with pity.

Good news: your family has a Genius; bad news: your family’s Genius only knows how to eat, drink, and be merry.

Director Xu suppressed his anger, but he had to stay here to supervise the examination and couldn’t leave.

However, he had already decided that when he returned, he would definitely deal with Xu Sheng, this “problem child,” properly.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Elder Elixir Patrol waved his hand, “Xu Sheng, you may leave.”

“Thank you, Elder Elixir Patrol!”

Since participating in the assessment, Xu Sheng showed such a heartfelt smile for the first time.

It was like a person on Earth who had just quit a job and had a brief period of not being a workhorse.

The onlookers were disappointed.

Xu Sheng’s performance was too uninteresting.

Jiang Ning also didn’t know why there was so much to watch.

He thought that since these Cultivators didn’t have “phones” or “computers” or other forms of entertainment, they could only watch the excitement.

Perhaps for Cultivators in the Alchemy world, the newcomer assessment was like an e-sports competition.

Jiang Ning once again prepared to stand up.

But he was preempted again.

“I’m also done!”

Gongsun Wangyue first said such a bland sentence on the field.

Then he flicked his sleeve and stood up very calmly.

He walked to the examiners and handed over the Medicinal Pill.

His demeanor and gestures perfectly embodied the cultivation and arrogance of a family Disciple.

A seeded player who could reach the “finals” had appeared.

The spectators were naturally excited again.

“In terms of speed, Gongsun Wangyue should have surpassed Pill Minister!”

“How can you judge by speed? This competition is about Comprehension Ability!”

“I think Gongsun Wangyue’s Comprehension Ability is similar to Pill Minister’s, so it’s about who refines the Medicinal Pill first.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Elixir Patrol hadn’t given a result yet, but the onlookers had already started arguing.

The commoners would certainly prefer to support Pill Minister.

After all, Pill Minister came from a farming family and was the best spokesperson for the commoners.

Because of Pill Minister, some Alchemists from humble backgrounds stood a little taller in front of Alchemists from good backgrounds.

After all, origin cannot determine Alchemy talent. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, do not bully the young and poor.

If you don’t believe it, just look at Pill Minister!

Pill Minister is now the “leader” of the commoners in the Alchemy world!

Although Pill Minister had never admitted it.

And those family Disciples naturally supported Gongsun Wangyue.

However, Gongsun Wangyue’s continuous failures against Pill Minister made them somewhat uncomfortable.

But this time, Gongsun Wangyue surpassed Pill Minister by so much, they were naturally excited and willing to speak up for Gongsun Wangyue.

Elixir Patrol looked outside the field.

After saying “Quiet,” he took the Medicinal Pill brought by the examiner.

He and the Directors began to examine it.

“Not bad, the Gongsun family’s boy indeed has some talent.”

“Although he took the wrong path, directly imbuing the Medicinal Pill with spirit and then enhancing its spirituality also shows some understanding.”

“With a slight correction, he might be able to do even better.”

“Very good, very good.”

“What does Elder Elixir Patrol think?”

Elixir Patrol smiled and nodded, “The Gongsun family has produced a Genius, very good. Although there are some errors in the refining technique of this Medicinal Pill, it still embodies the core of sublimation.

If no one can capture spirituality on the correct Dao.

Then this Medicinal Pill should be first.”

The five Directors nodded.

Elder Elixir Patrol had always been known for his fairness.

He would not show favoritism just because his Disciple was also within the scope of the assessment.

After reaching a consensus.

Elixir Patrol held the Medicinal Pill.

He publicly placed it in a jade bottle, then placed it next to the jade tablet submitted by Gongsun Wangyue, corresponding to his name.

After completing all this.

Elixir Patrol said to Gongsun Wangyue: “You may leave now, or you may stay in the venue to rest.

The specific results will only be determined after everyone has finished refining and after discussions between me and the Directors.

Do as you please.”

Gongsun Wangyue bowed.

“Thank you, Elders and Directors.”

After speaking, he sat down where he was, staring at Pill Minister with a smile on his face.

Pill Minister, let’s see how you’ll beat me this time.

At this moment.

A voice once again drew everyone’s attention back.

They saw Shen Ning, whom they considered a “clown,” a “husky among wolves,” a “hype chaser,” and “black and red is also red,” stand up.

Jiang Ning held the Medicinal Pill.

“I’m also done refining.”
