Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1568 - 1567: You’re Too Weak!
The final stage of pill formation is quite straightforward: refine the medicinal ingredients into a pill!
In this third stage test, it’s not about who finishes first to score points, but whose pill is the most effective, earning them the highest score.
All the Pill Masters were eager at this moment, as if they couldn’t wait to showcase their alchemical skills.
"Pill Masters participating in the mini-competition, please proceed to a table."
Behind Yao Qing, a Second Grade Alchemist spoke. His name was Yin Feng, the host of this mini-competition.
As for Yao Qing, he sat in front of everyone alongside two other Third-Grade Pill Masters.
The two Third-Grade Pill Masters, a middle-aged man and an old woman, both nodded and smiled at everyone.
"Let’s go?"
King Zhou glanced at Su Han, seemingly targeting him on purpose, with a tone neither friendly nor hostile.
Su Han was a bit puzzled, wondering what he did to offend this guy.
"Make sure to win that Third-Grade Pill for the Shen Family,"
As Su Han was about to leave, Shen Mengli suddenly said, "Perhaps then my father won’t trouble you."
Su Han: "..."
A blatant threat!
...
All Pill Masters each went to a table, Su Han and King Zhou were horizontally spread out, with Wei Zihen and Miao Hua on Su Han’s right, King Zhou on his left, and in front was Lyu Qingyu.
"Hope you don’t lose too badly."
Lyu Qingyu turned around with a sneer, "You might be good at alchemy, but I’m afraid you won’t be a match in the first and second tests."
"If I win, will you wear a green hat for me?" Su Han said casually.
"Humph!"
Lyu Qingyu snorted, turned away, and ignored Su Han.
"Wow!"
As they spoke, a large screen appeared above the void in front of them.
The screen was at least ten meters in diameter, allowing any Pill Master to clearly see what appeared inside.
"Next, the first test begins."
The Second Grade Alchemist, Yin Feng, said, "Get ready; quickest to answer gets priority."
Everyone nodded, indicating they understood.
"Then... the first test begins!"
As Yin Feng finished speaking, light suddenly appeared on the screen, and an image emerged from it.
It was a green medicinal herb with some soil at the root, as if it had just been dug up.
There were three leaves on this herb, with dew still on them.
"Gathering Dew Grass!"
Su Han immediately spoke, his voice calm, overpowering every other Pill Master’s attempt to answer.
His speed of speech was quick, making other Pill Masters frown slightly in regret.
"Correct!"
The old woman beside Yao Qing smiled and pointed lightly at the void, immediately causing another screen to appear.
On that screen, only Su Han’s name appeared at this moment, with a score behind it.
Su Han: 1 point!
"Wow!"
The screen displaying the medicinal ingredient changed again, revealing a bright red flower.
This flower was incomplete because the screen hadn’t fully revealed it.
Yet at this moment, a faint voice echoed in the field again.
"Blood Droplet Flower."
"Correct!"
The old woman glanced at Su Han and lightly tapped on the table before her, instantly bringing Su Han’s score to 2 points.
Without any hesitation, the third image appeared.
This image appeared more slowly, not emerging fully at once but from top to bottom.
First appeared a patch of gray-white, with some black star points on it.
Upon seeing this, everyone frowned, really unsure of what this medicinal ingredient was.
Perhaps they needed to wait until it was fully revealed to recognize it.
Yet at this moment, Su Han’s voice resounded for the third time.
"Core Stone of Medicine."
"Correct!"
The old woman again looked up, pausing on Su Han for a moment, then updating his score to 3 points.
"Su Han, keep it up!"
Shen Mengli, somewhat excited, waved her arms and shouted to Su Han.
Her happy expression seemed to completely forget about what had happened earlier in Shen Menghan’s room, almost wanting to run up and hug Su Han.
What an auspicious start!
Su Han had consecutively named three medicinal ingredients, while others could only open their mouths, unable to speak out.
Their frustrated expressions made one want to laugh.
Su Han smiled and nodded at Shen Mengli, his lips moving to say words only she could understand.
"Let your father spare me..."
"Wow!"
The screen changed again, the fourth medicinal ingredient appeared.
This herb was entirely blood-red, with some arcs extending from it.
The revealing speed was still very slow, bit by bit.
"Nine Arc Phoenix Crown Grass."
Su Han spoke, his expression calm, a faint smile on his lips.
"Correct!"
This time, not only the old woman but even Yao Qing and the middle-aged man beside him looked up to scrutinize Su Han.
The surrounding crowd, too, shifted from initial silence to a clamor.
"He knows this too?"
"This Pill Master is incredible, isn’t he?"
"The medicinal ingredient hadn’t even fully appeared, yet he knew it, and not just once, but multiple times. His research on medicinal ingredients must be very deep!"
"His name is Su Han, right? An impressive First Grade Alchemist indeed. We must befriend him, you never know when you might need his help."
Numerous gazes fell on Su Han, tinged with excitement, as if they themselves were participating in the competition.
In fact, the competition feeling here, in some ways, was more thrilling than the battles in the arena!
In a fight, it’s merely a struggle to the death.
But here, it’s different. The vast knowledge of medicinal ingredients and profound research all highlighted how well-informed these Pill Masters were.
This was just the first test; the second test would be even more exhilarating.
Because in the second test, these Pill Masters would undergo a drastic change!
That’s the real test of their deep understanding of medicinal ingredients.
...
At this moment, many Pill Masters’ eyes were on Su Han.
"Never heard of such a person?" many wondered with furrowed brows.
King Zhou cast a glance at Su Han, snorted, and was lost in thought.
Wei Zihen and Miao Hua’s attitudes towards Su Han had changed significantly, now much more courteous.
Finally, Lyu Qingyu, standing in front of Su Han, turned around and said darkly, "Don’t get cocky. The first test gets harder as it goes. We’ll see if you’ll still boast then!"
"Honestly..."
Su Han wagged his finger at Lyu Qingyu.
"You’re too weak."
