Ning Zhishui took the things given by Meng Cheng, walked back to the open space, and took out his own alchemy furnace.
"What is she going to do? Making an elixir?"
"Why would she make the elixir? Even if she succeeded, she still wouldn't have the badge, right?"
"can't read……"
"Isn't this a desperate attempt to resist? But it's definitely futile. She is destined to lose the qualification to compete."
"What a shame, but first place..."
"Huh, what do you mean by first place? How can someone without a badge be qualified to take first place?"
Ning Zhishui ignored the discussions of those people and just kept refining his own pills.
Soon, someone noticed something unusual.
"Huh? She actually used the spiritual fire. This seems to be her first time using it, right?"
"It seems so. I've only heard of it before, but never seen it."
I saw that there was a milky yellow flame burning under Ning Zhishui's stove, which was very different from the common fire.
It looks light and seems to have no deterrent power, but everyone knows what spiritual fire means, so no one will underestimate it.
After recognizing it, a doubt emerged in everyone's mind -
Since Ning Zhishui had spiritual fire, why didn't he use it before, but only now?
What kind of elixir was she planning to refine? And what kind of elixir could change the situation at this moment and make her achievements no longer ineffective?
Jiang Baizhou's alchemists were relatively less surprised, because they had seen Ning Zhishui refining the Biqiong Pill at the exchange meeting, and they had seen the appearance of the spiritual fire at that time.
However, they also wondered what Ning Zhishui wanted to do and why he was refining the elixir at this time?
"Wait a minute, the pill she wants to refine...could it be the Manling Pill?!" A sudden shout drew everyone's attention.
Full of elixirs?
Everyone was a little confused and subconsciously looked at the medicinal herbs placed next to Ning Zhishui.
Then people with more knowledge about pill formulas recognized it at once. Aren’t these herbs the ones used to make the Manling Pill?
"Manling Pill...that's a heavenly-grade pill!" Someone asked the common question.
The full spiritual pill can not only quickly restore all the spiritual energy in the body in a very short time, but the spiritual energy can still be quickly replenished in the next quarter of an hour, and it will not be exhausted even if it is continuously consumed.
It is extremely suitable for times when a large amount of spiritual energy is consumed, such as a life-and-death fight with someone, so that you can focus on fighting the enemy without worrying about running out of spiritual energy in the middle of the fight.
However, the Manling Pill is a heaven-grade pill and is definitely not something that an earth-grade alchemist can make.
"It's definitely Heavenly Grade. Why would Master Ning refine it here? How could she possibly refine it?"
"I don't know. Is this because he's angry and confused? Is this to prove himself?"
The alchemists below were all bewildered, but some reacted quickly—
"I see……"
Meng Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Ning Zhishui with sudden realization, with an expression of admiration or shock in his eyes.
"Master Meng Dan, do you know why?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, I roughly guessed it." Meng Cheng nodded. "This is related to a rule for obtaining badges, but the rule is relatively unpopular and rarely used."
"What rules?" Everyone pricked up their ears.
"Besides the most common way to obtain a badge, there's also a way to skip levels. For example, if I'm a Yellow-level Alchemist and want to advance to the Xuan-level, besides taking the Xuan-level exam directly, I can also refine a furnace of Earth-level pills. If this furnace of pills is successfully refined, I will automatically obtain a Xuan-level badge."
"Oh, right. This rule has an extremely high priority. No matter where or when, as long as it is achieved and there are two city-level or above Alchemy Association presidents to testify, the badge can be issued immediately. No waiting is required."
Meng Cheng had been the president, so he was very familiar with this unpopular rule, but not many other alchemists knew about it. After listening to his explanation, they all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
"There is such a method, but no wonder it's unpopular. How can ordinary people do it! If I could really refine an Earth-level pill, I would take the Earth-level exam. Why would I bother taking the Mysterious-level exam?"
"This method really doesn't work for ordinary people... It's like someone telling me: Do you want to pass the test? As long as you achieve excellence, you will automatically pass."
"How do you get 10,000 crystals? Answer: As long as you have 20,000 crystals, you will naturally have 10,000 crystals."
Everyone also started making jokes.
This rule sounds simple. After all, the formal assessment for the Xuan level requires several items, but if you use this rule, you only need to refine a furnace of cross-level elixirs.
But only they know how difficult it is to implement.
For someone who can truly refine an Earth-level elixir, even the simplest one, his true level must be at the peak of the Profound Level. It would be easy for such a person to pass the Profound Level exam.
Ordinary people often take the test as soon as they reach the Xuan level. How many of them will wait until they reach the peak to take the test?
But as they were talking, everyone suddenly realized something, looked at Ning Zhishui, and then their eyes widened.
"So, Master Ning Dan..."
So, Ning Zhishui was refining the Heaven-level elixir here just to get the Earth-level badge in public?
Some people thought of the conversation between Ning Zhishui and President Chen.
What they agreed on was that if Ning Zhishui could get a prefecture-level badge now, her achievements would count.
Ning Zhishui is a Xuan-level alchemist. According to the rules Meng Changhui said, she only needs to refine any furnace of Tian-level elixirs, and she can immediately become a Di-level alchemist.
And the Manling Pill is a heavenly-grade pill!
As for the requirement of two city-level guild presidents to testify, it goes without saying that there are more than just
"She's crazy... How is this possible!" Someone's eyes were dazed.
It was already difficult to make everyone believe that Ning Zhishui had the top level in the prefecture level, and it took Ning Zhishui's performance for several days to completely convince them.
But not long after they accepted it, Ning Zhishui said he wanted to refine a heavenly-grade elixir!
They are running as soon as they learn to walk. Are they being treated as human beings at this pace?
"This won't work." Someone shook their head. "A fourteen-year-old Heavenly-level Alchemist? Impossible, even if she has Spiritual Fire!"
"She's way too self-righteous. I'm putting this on hold. If she can truly refine this furnace of elixir, I'll kneel down and call her Master!"
"Yeah, how could this possibly succeed? Even if she had refined the Jade Sky Pill, it would be useless. No matter how difficult the Jade Sky Pill is, it's only an Earth-grade pill. It's still a huge gap from a true Heaven-grade pill. The gap between Heaven and Earth is like a natural chasm!"
No one was optimistic about Ning Zhishui because the challenge was too great.
Even Meng Cheng, who had always been optimistic about Ning Zhishui, was worried about her this time.
