President Meng found these words a bit harsh and couldn't help but snort.
But he had no confidence to refute, because even he himself felt that Ning Zhishui was a little willful and bold.
However, as President Meng looked at Ning Zhishui who was answering questions with his head down, a bold idea came to his mind -
If Ning Zhishui really passed the exam successfully, how surprised would others be?
A fourteen-year-old Yellow-level alchemist is almost considered the best on the continent. How shocking would a fourteen-year-old Black-level alchemist be?
If this is true, then his Luoyucheng Alchemy Association... will be famous throughout the entire continent!
When others open their mouths, they will say: "Did you know, I heard that a fourteen-year-old Yellow-level Alchemist appeared in the Jiang Baizhou Luoyucheng Alchemy Association! He passed the Xuan-level on his first try!"
Just thinking about it, President Meng felt elated.
But soon, with a thud, he fell to the ground.
What a fool he is! How can he dream in broad daylight?
"Although Master Ning Dan is a little young, he is really capable. He successfully passed the first level in just 5 grids. Now he is at the second level and seems to be very skilled." He said on behalf of Ning Zhishui.
Dan will use a standard to record the assessment time. It is something like an hourglass, with different grid numbers corresponding to different times.
There are 20 grids in total, but Ning Zhishui only used 5 grids in the first level.
According to the people President Meng knew, Ning Zhishui definitely took the shortest time.
After President Meng finished speaking, the others were stunned for a moment. Ren Xi was the first to show a skeptical look. "Five grids? Is President Meng serious?"
Ren Xi is the vice president of the Pingzhou City Dan Association, but it is said that the president will retire in a few years and will be replaced by Ren Xi.
The situation in Pingzhou is more complicated than that in Luoyu City, so the strength of the Alchemy Association is also stronger than that in Luoyu City.
Taking all the circumstances into consideration, Ren Xi didn't think his vice-presidentship was any less important than the president, Meng Cheng. The difference between the two was only in title; in terms of value, they were practically the same.
"How could I possibly lie?" President Meng laughed. "The photo stone has all the records. You wouldn't have forgotten, would you?"
"5 grids is quite fast, but I think your questions are a bit simple, it's just a coincidence." An elderly Pingzhou alchemist next to him said.
After he said this, the alchemist from Luo Yucheng became unhappy.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that we are covering up for him? When it comes to identifying herbs, we just randomly picked them from the medicine storehouse. In terms of difficulty, it is not easy at all. On the contrary, it is more difficult than the average level!" The alchemist named Zheng snorted coldly.
Ren Xi laughed and said, "We don't mean that. Of course we trust Chairman Meng's character."
Although he said so, he just stood there and showed no intention of leaving.
The older alchemist probably understood what he meant and said, "It seems she's almost finished the second round. It's a good opportunity for everyone to take a look at her paper together."
Since they came, Ning Zhishui has been concentrating on writing, almost without stopping.
However, as the paper was turned, everyone could see that Ning Zhishui seemed to be almost finished.
It’s hard to say what the situation is like in the first level, but they can see it with their own eyes in the second level.
Ren Xi smiled and said, "I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if President Meng would agree?"
President Meng said calmly, "It's just a test paper, what's wrong with that?"
He has a clear conscience, is not partial in the slightest, and is not afraid of being seen.
After a while, Ning Zhishui stopped writing, glanced at the paper and handed it to the wood alchemist inside.
Master Mu Dan took it out and suddenly faced the people outside.
He was startled and shouted, "President Meng..."
"Bring it here and let me see it."
"yes."
When President Meng took the paper, the first thing that caught his eye was the freehand handwriting on it. The strokes were smooth yet a little sharp.
Just a few casual glances and his heart calmed down.
Ren Xi next to him had already leaned over, so President Meng took it to the side and looked at it with him.
Ren Xi was a little surprised when he saw it, "It seems to be well written..."
Then he kept silent and carefully checked the recipe.
There is more than one recipe above, and the test questions are randomly selected, and they are all elixirs within the Xuan level range.
A simple Xuan-level pill recipe requires only a dozen or so ingredients, while a more complicated one with more ingredients may require as many as thirty or forty. In addition, the order must be followed when writing the pill recipe from memory.
Generally speaking, the main material that accounts for a larger proportion should be written at the beginning, and the minor ones should be written at the end.
Auxiliary ingredients must never be written before the main ingredients. However, if they are both auxiliary ingredients and the amounts used are similar, the order can be more random.
This also increases the difficulty during inspection. You must look more carefully. It is definitely not enough to scan three lines at a glance.
Time passed little by little, President Meng and Vice President Ren were the closest to each other, while the others just poked their heads out to watch.
But as they watched, the alchemists who could only see fragments discovered that—
Why is their president/vice president breathing more and more rapidly?
"Divine Guiding Pill?" Master Zheng of Luo Yucheng accidentally saw a title and couldn't help but shout, "This isn't a Xuan-level topic!"
The three words "Shenyindan" made all the alchemists' ears prick up, and then there was a commotion.
"God-attracting Pill? What kind of pill is this? I've never heard of it before."
"How could there be a Divine Guiding Pill in the Xuan-level assessment?"
"No, this female alchemist actually wrote down the recipe for the Divine Guiding Pill? I remember this isn't a Xuan-level pill. How did she know that?"
"Is there something wrong with the question? Even I don't know the recipe!"
"That's beyond the scope."
President Meng's eyes turned red.
All the recipes on the test paper are correct so far!
Not only were all the questions correct, but one of them was actually beyond the syllabus, because the Shenyin Pill is a very unpopular and difficult to refine pill!
Although it is also considered a Xuan-level elixir, it is not within the scope of assessment. Moreover, if one really wants to refine it, Xuan-level strength is often not enough, and it requires almost Di-level strength.
Not to mention a young alchemist like Ning Zhishui, even an older Xuan-level alchemist may not know the recipe!
"This disciple is pretty good. He can answer all these questions. President Meng, just tell us, are you tempted by his talent and secretly let him win?" Ren Xi couldn't help but look at President Meng and said jokingly.
Ning Zhishui could actually answer the question about the Divine Guiding Pill without any mistakes. This is really outrageous!
Ren Xi was already very picky when he looked at it, but no matter how he checked, there was nothing wrong with it.
The names of the medicinal materials are correct, and the order is also correct. It is undoubtedly a pleasure to read this kind of scroll, but it is a pity that the person is not from their Pingzhou Alchemy Society!
