The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 910 - 500: The Third Trial
...
"Father! Father!" someone shouted, as two children suddenly flew down from the sky and landed in front of Yan Xiaobao, who had just walked down the stairs. Everyone was dumbfounded to see these two children jump into Yan Xiaobao's arms and wield Flying Swords. Flying Swords are only meant for cultivators with an Upper Dantian, yet neither of them seemed over ten years old.
It wasn't just the ordinary audience who were shocked; Zhong Xi's eyes also narrowed, and his heart trembled. He, being an Emperor himself, knew how much effort it took to reach the emperor's level, but these children seemed to have accomplished the impossible. The lady from the Alchemy Guild was also stunned, her eyes filled with excitement as she watched the children.
No one had paid much attention to Yan Xiaobao's family before. He was known to be a dangerous individual, and his family was just ordinary experts, overshadowed by his brilliance. But now, they appeared to be at least as extraordinary as he was. Everyone present had to reevaluate this young man who could intimidate anyone. Yan Xiaobao noticed the stir his children caused but did nothing to stop it. The stronger he became, the better. Even if that strength arose not from his own abilities but from his children's, Yan Xiaobao didn't mind. He felt proud of his two children, and knowing others looked at them with reverence was enough to make him proud.
"Let's celebrate; I advanced to the next part of the competition!" Yan Xiaobao smiled as he hugged his children, who nodded eagerly. Their eyes sparkled with excitement, oblivious to the commotion they had caused by eagerly rushing to their father with Flying Swords.
Wang Julong laughed heartily. As she looked at her family, a gentle expression crossed her face. Taking a few steps forward, she held onto Yan Xiaobao, and Wang Julong, the two children, were the first to leave.
The four of them returned to the same restaurant they had visited before, enjoying a night of delicious food and fine wine again. The children were loud and talkative today. They spoke of how nervous they had been when his first pill failed and how angry they were at those who made their cauldron explode.
Yan Xiaobao, who was under great pressure at the time, was startled by the noise and thus failed. Now, having advanced to the finals, he was no longer upset about it. Instead, he picked up the jade bottle containing the pill, which didn't reach perfection.
Opening the bottle, a strong medicinal aroma filled the VIP room occupied by the family. Yan Xiaobao glanced at the pill and then handed it to Qiao, who looked surprised as she accepted it.
"This pill is a fourth-level pill beneficial for you," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile. "It contains Yang Energy. While the internal energy isn't as active as the pills you buy at auctions, it's not too bad either," Yan Xiaobao laughed as he spoke. Hearing his words, a big smile spread across Qiao's face as she tucked the medicine pill into her embrace as if it were a priceless treasure.
As the sun rose in the sky, Yan Xiaobao and his family left the restaurant. It had been open all night, catering to regular customers and those feeling a sudden urge to indulge. Dancers on the ground floor entertained guests all night, while upstairs, private conversations were held quietly.
"We have a few hours until the final test," Yan Xiaobao said, glancing around the street in front of the restaurant. "I want to visit the market again," he considered aloud, with the others quickly agreeing to his suggestion. "I need more ingredients. No one knows what medicine we will make for the third test, but if I don't even have the materials, I certainly won't win," he said honestly, with no objections from the others as they began heading to various markets.
One after another, they passed through a market, finding many herbs to use. He excitedly kept adding to his stock of flowers.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, they walked to the square in front of the Alchemy Guild, the same as the previous day. In the middle, the large stage now only had seven tables. A large crowd of cultivators, Alchemists, and casual onlookers gathered in the square, eager to watch the final three tests of the annual Alchemist competition.
As Yan Xiaobao and his family arrived, everyone made space for them to approach the stage; no one wanted to obstruct their way. Yan Xiaobao separated from them, walking towards the entrance of the Alchemy Guild, where three of the seven Alchemists had already gathered. Zhong Xi was among them, his eyes filled with hostility when he saw Yan Xiaobao and his entire family. He no longer even tried to maintain a friendly demeanor in front of Yan Xiaobao.
Time passed slowly as one contestant after another appeared in front of the Alchemy Guild. Anticipation and nervousness for the final test grew among everyone.
This year's competition was very different from previous ones, with much higher test difficulty. The final test would undoubtedly be very challenging; no one could imagine what medicine they would be required to create.
As time went on, the lady also appeared and, as usual, walked towards the stage, with the seven finalists following behind her.
"Today is the last match of our Alchemist's new competition this year. We've had some outstanding young participants this year," the woman began, her voice booming across the area. "As a result, we had some difficulties deciding the content of today's match, but we finally agreed. Each contestant will have ten hours to create their most exceptional pill. The one who creates the best pill will win!"
