Ning Xuan was unexpectedly sucked into a spatial rift during her secret realm training. Protected by the spirit plant, Ghost-faced Red Vine, her soul escaped the rift and arrived in an unfamiliar w...

Chapter 412 Questioning

Fu Rong felt a little embarrassed when she made this request. After all, elixirs of this grade were extremely rare, and the Nine-Turn Holy Healing Pill was even rarer. Even at the top auctions, it was very rare, and the appearance of one would cause a sensation.

Ning Xuan smiled slightly after hearing Fu Rong's request. "Sister Fu Rong, I have no shortage of money. What do you want to exchange with me?"

"How about exchanging them for rare medicinal herbs? I've been an alchemist for so many years. Apart from other wealth, I've accumulated a lot of valuable medicinal herbs. I see that you, Xuanxuan, are also interested in this. Come here, I have a medicine catalog here. Do you like anything?" Fu Rong said happily when she heard that Ning Xuan did not refuse her.

"Master Fu, Master Ning, please stay." A uniformed staff member shouted behind the two of them.

Just after the assessment work was completed, the entourages of Fu Rong, Ning Xuan and others were all allowed in. Fu Rong was accompanied by a tall, cold-looking young man in red clothes, and Ning Xuan was accompanied by Lan Xin.

When the staff member was about to reach Ning Xuan and others, Lan Xin and the young man in red stopped the staff member.

"Stop, don't go any further." Lan Xin shouted, and a blue light suddenly appeared in his hand. A water curtain barrier instantly blocked the staff member outside the barrier.

The staff member was shocked by the sudden energy barrier and took two steps back. The young man in red standing next to him stood with his arms folded, staring coldly at the newcomer.

"Master Ning, Master Fu, please calm down. I am following the orders of Team Leader Mo from the Alchemy Grandmaster Assessment Group. I have some questions. Master Ning and Master Fu, please go back and cooperate with the investigation." The staff member explained immediately.

Ning Xuan was originally approaching Fu Rong, wanting to take a look at the booklet of medicinal materials that Fu Rong had. Upon hearing this, she raised her head and looked over.

"What are your questions? What are you investigating?"

Ning Xuan frowned and asked.

Lan Xin waved his hand, and the energy barrier transformed into rows of fine ice needles, piercing the bone. The staff member nervously took two steps back. "Yes, it's like this. A candidate who failed the assessment reported that the pills refined by Master Ning were just superficial and didn't have the effects that a high-grade pill should have. They requested that the pills be retested."

"Now, all the alchemy masters who participated in the Alchemy Grandmaster Assessment have returned to the alchemy hall, waiting for the two of you to go together." said the staff over there.

After hearing what this person said, Fu Rong sneered, "How ridiculous! The pills were clearly thoroughly tested just now. Now someone is raising doubts, and you're going to retest them? How is this any different from going back on your word and changing your mind from one day to the next?"

"Sister, no need to say more, let's go and take a look." Ning Xuan was very confident in the pills she refined, and she also had some suspicions about those who doubted her.

Ning Xuan and Fu Rong quickly returned to the alchemy hall. When they arrived at the hall, Team Leader Mo and others who were in charge of this assessment were concentrating on watching the video of Ning Xuan refining the elixir.

As they watched, they exclaimed, "Ms. Ning's ability to control her mental power is truly formidable."

"I, Wu Shengchun, have been studying alchemy for hundreds of years. I have always been proud of my ability to finely control my mental power. However, after watching Ning Xuan's video, I feel ashamed of myself." Wu Shengchun, who has silver hair, said in admiration.

"Senior Wu, no matter how strong her ability to finely control her mental power is, she can't refine thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. I suspect that the Nine-Transformation Holy Healing Pill cannot achieve the desired medicinal effect. If it cannot, according to the rules, she has to keep those pills and compensate for the losses caused by the medicinal herbs used." Lan Shuiyu said firmly.

Lan Shuiyu's eyes secretly met with someone in the assessment team. After Lan Shuiyu finished speaking, that person immediately agreed, "Master Lan is right. Ning Xuan is indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful she is, she is still young and lacks the foundation. It is impossible for her to refine that thousand-year-old medicinal herb. If she ignores the consequences and forces the refinement, it will definitely be a waste of the thousand-year-old herb."

The pills that Ning Xuan refined during the assessment period were carefully inspected and found to be free of any problems. However, Lan Shuiyu's doubts were directed at the Nine-Transformation Holy Healing Pill that Ning Xuan refined while waiting for the exam.

The pills that Ning Xuan refined during the waiting period for the exam were only recorded by video and had not been carefully checked. Some people in the Alchemist Association were dissatisfied with Ning Xuan taking away precious medicinal materials such as the thousand-year-old snow ganoderma, so when Lan Shuiyu jumped out to question it, they accepted his opinion.

After Ning Xuan and Fu Rong arrived, all the people taking the assessment and the examiners from the assessment team gathered in the alchemy hall.

After hearing their doubts about the efficacy of the Nine Transformations Holy Healing Pill, Ning Xuan sneered, "How do you intend to prove that the pill I've refined has the desired effect?"

"It's very simple. Just hand over the pills and the association will naturally analyze and test them." Lan Shuiyu said arrogantly.

"I think you have bad intentions. This pill has a strange phenomenon since it was made. The energy fluctuations are very strong. I have never seen a pill with such powerful energy before. You are questioning the effectiveness of the pill. It is clear that you have bad intentions."

"Besides, the rules in the waiting room are that as long as you can successfully refine the elixir, you can take the herbs away. Ning Xuan obviously succeeded in refining it, but you still did this. Are you regretting it because the herbs Ning Xuan used are so precious? The association can't afford to lose, right?" Fu Rong looked at the people sitting in the judges' seats with contempt.

"Ms. Ning, Ms. Fu, we have no intention of going back on our word. It's just that Master Lan's suspicion is reasonable. The thousand-year-old snow ganoderma is extremely precious. If its value is not fully utilized, it would be a waste of resources. We still have the obligation to find out the truth." Team leader Mo looked at Ning Xuan apologetically and said.

Mo Feifan is one of the vice presidents of the Alchemist Association and the leader of the Alchemy Grandmaster Assessment Group. He is highly respected and as soon as he opens his mouth, everyone else falls silent.

Ning Xuan's expression was indifferent, her eyes as cold as frost. "How does Team Leader Mo plan to find out the truth?"

"Test the efficacy of the pill." Mo Feifan said concisely.

"Then how does Team Leader Mo want to test it?" Ning Xuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Give the pills to those seriously injured patients and see how well they recover. That way, the answer will be revealed, right?" Team Leader Mo and the others had obviously already discussed this issue.

"Then to what extent do these seriously injured patients need to recover to prove that my elixir did not waste the medicinal ingredient?" Ning Xuan asked.

The hall suddenly became quiet.
