My game announcement panel is Tiandao?

Cheng took the silver charcoal and pine wood, secretly relieved.

Immediately.

He cleared his mind of all distractions.

He focused intently on the medicine furnace before him, aided by the vision enhanced by the Medicine Fire Eye.

Light the pine wood, and at the perfect temperature, place it under the silver charcoal.

Those who had been watching the stage, or more precisely, the alchemy masters of Cheng Ye, all had their eyes light up slightly.

"The temperature is well controlled."

"This kid's experience is so extensive?"

"How long has he been involved in alchemy?"

Even Zhou Yu was extremely shocked!

You can tell if someone is good or bad just by looking at them.

Even if there are slight possibilities for cheating in other areas, the ignition step cannot be faked.

One can only rely on one's own experience to judge the timing.

And now.

Cheng Ye's performance truly amazed everyone!

"Only through rigorous training can one cultivate such an instinctive intuition."

"But he's so young, could it be that he started refining pills while still in his mother's womb?"

"not to mention."

"His cultivation level is still so..."

This is the first time in so many years that a martial artist at the eighth rank of the mortal realm has stood on the stage.

Let's keep watching.

"This is just the beginning."

Next.

That's the most difficult part of alchemy.

Lighting the fire is just the beginning.

On the stage.

Cheng also placed the pre-processed medicinal materials into the medicine furnace one by one at the most precise temperature.

hiss!

Others wouldn't notice the problem.

But the shock that welled up in the eyes of the alchemy masters under the sunshade grew even stronger!

"This? This!"

"Isn't he behaving too casually?"

The other four candidates on the stage were all covered in sweat.

I wish I could stick my eyes into the medicine furnace and watch the changes in the flames and temperature.

His muscles were tense, as if afraid of missing that fleeting opportunity.

"That's more like it."

"But this is still just the beginning."

"Maintaining the temperature of the medicine furnace afterward is the most difficult part."

Most of the failures in alchemy also occur during this stage.

If the temperature gets out of control, all the medicinal herbs in the furnace will be destroyed.

Almost all the candidates who participated in the three examinations for alchemy masters failed here.

That's why.

The higher a martial artist's cultivation level and the more profound their internal energy, the better they can control temperature changes.

One by one, the medicinal herbs were put into the medicine furnace.

As the temperature fluctuated, Cheng focused on the furnace while also adding or removing pine wood from time to time.

"You're so skilled!"

"Is he really a newcomer?"

"Without the tempering of time, it would be impossible to be this proficient."

The sense of contradiction that was concentrated in Cheng Ye reached its peak at this moment!

It can't possibly be as those people are guessing.

Is he someone who has mastered the art of preserving youth?

"But that doesn't make sense either."

"His martial arts cultivation is too low. To preserve his youthful appearance, the required cultivation level..."

A thick fog enveloped Cheng Ye.

It really makes people incredibly curious!

Time passed gradually.

The alchemy masters were already somewhat numb from excessive shock.

Logically speaking...

Under both mental and physical pressure, it is easy to make mistakes.

But rather.

Cheng remained completely at ease.

He didn't seem like he was there to participate in the three alchemist examinations; rather, he seemed like he was there for a spring outing and just happened to stumble upon this interesting event.

So I just casually came to participate.

"this!"

A master alchemist was making faces, and quite a bit of his beard had been plucked out!

"That doesn't make sense!"

Before that.

They believed that Li Ruyi was a demon.

But now everyone agrees that Cheng Ye is the one who best fits this description!

The furnace temperature is just right; the elixir is about to take shape.

Cheng Ye's eyes reflected the medicine furnace and flames.

"Soon."

He murmured to himself.

[The elixir has taken shape.]

After the words appeared in his eyes.

Cheng also reached out and took out the pine wood that was still burning, and began to anneal it.

"Did it work?"

"So fast?"

Seeing Cheng Ye's actions, everyone stood up impatiently.

They stared intently, their eyes fixed on Cheng Ye.

Not long after.

Once the temperature dropped, Cheng also lifted the lid of the medicine furnace.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted across the stage.

Cheng used bamboo chopsticks to take out the pills and put them into a jade box that had been prepared beforehand.

The proctor, who had been standing behind Cheng Ye, quickly approached and asked:

"alright?"

Cheng nodded, hummed in agreement, and handed the jade box to the proctor.

Taking the box, the proctor examined the pills lying inside.

"The exterior is intact."

"The medicinal fragrance is astringent."

"Judging by its appearance alone, it is worthy of being called a top-grade product."

In this year's three examinations for alchemists.

Only Li Ruyi received the unanimous "superior grade" evaluation from all the alchemy masters.

As for the other candidates, very few of them received a superior evaluation from a master alchemist.

Holding the jade box, the proctor went to the sunshade.

The alchemy masters had already come over impatiently.

"Observe its appearance and smell its aroma."

"It can already be called a top-grade product."

One of the alchemy masters stroked his long beard and said this.

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Oh, right."

What is the success rate of pill formation?

The proctor then remembered the incident and quickly began to recall it.

hiss!

suddenly!

His eyes widened suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Sixty percent?"

Ok? !

The alchemy master's hand trembled violently, and he pinched off a small tuft of his long, gray beard!

"Gentlemen."

Zhou Yu took out a jade knife and scraped some powder off the pill.

"It perfectly matches the prescriptions he wrote."

A subtle, bitter taste quietly spreads across the tip of the tongue.

If they were to make changes to the prescription, they would add some honey to neutralize the bitterness and provide a milder medicinal effect.

But its main function is simply to improve the taste.

Feel the warm current flowing through my body, gradually gathering in my muscles and bones.

"The medicine has taken effect."

"good."

"To launch it on the market, all that's needed is to improve the taste, and it will be a perfect prescription."

"What about the price of the medicinal herbs? What about the cost?"

"We use common medicinal herbs, so the cost is not high."

He silently calculated for a moment.

The alchemy masters under the sunshade all looked at each other in disbelief.

"That young man, could he really be one of our colleagues?"

Forehead!

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but speak up:

"A mere eighth-grade alchemy master in the mortal realm?"

As they talked...

The surrounding noise quietly subsided into silence.

"Eighth Grade of the Mortal Realm"

Does he have a teacher?

"Ahem!"

Zhou Yu then coughed lightly a few times and slowly spoke to them:

What do you think?

"How could such a brilliant talent not have a mentor?"

The alchemy masters under the sunshade smiled wryly.

"Top grade."

"Top grade."

"..."

soon.

This was another unanimous assessment from the alchemy masters.

This year's third examination for alchemists has produced another alchemy prodigy who is renowned throughout the world!

Its brilliance even surpasses that of Li Ruyi!
