Dawu Kingdom.
Baitao City, Chixiao Academy.
Inside the academy, at the competition arena in the pharmacy.
A group of freshmen are refining medicine in the competition arena.
Today is Chixiao Academy’s annual college entrance examination.
They were all new disciples who had enrolled a year ago. Only those who passed the academy's new test would be eligible to stay and continue their practice.
In addition to the elders invigilating, there were a group of old students from the Medicine Hall around. They came here to see if there were any evildoers among this year's freshmen.
"Looking at this situation, the alchemy skills of this year's junior brothers and sisters are all very good."
"Look at the little guy in black in the outermost circle. Although the quality of the pills he refines is not high, his technique is very stable and he hasn't made any mistakes in the steps. He should be able to pass today's new test."
"It's really good. After the academy's new test is over, Elder Peng and the others should consider this little guy."
"It's a pity for that junior sister in the purple skirt..."
"It's a pity indeed... Judging from most of the herbs she chose, she should be trying to refine the Blue Flame Pill. However, among the herbs is a Thunder Fire Spark that counteracts the properties of the Blue Flame Pill. I'm afraid she won't be able to refine the Blue Flame Pill."
"No, I mean she's pretty, it's a pity she can't be my junior sister."
“…”
In the competition arena, everyone was concentrating on refining pills.
But there is one person who always doesn't fit in.
In the corner, Lu Lan lay on the alchemy table, sleeping soundly in the sun.
The sunlight fell on his angular, handsome and fair face.
He fell into a deep sleep, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, the whole audience exclaimed.
"Look! Someone is about to open the cauldron and make a pill!"
When this exclamation was heard, everyone's attention was instantly focused on the scene.
I saw a young man in a jade-white robe looking at the medicine cauldron in front of him with a smile.
The elders in the exam booth also focused their attention on him.
"It turns out to be Wu Peng. It seems that this kid is refining a top-grade Yi Jin Dan." An elder said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Pills are divided into nine grades from low to high.
Each level is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, and the grades can be divided by outlining the dan patterns.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine.
"Wu Peng? I remember he was the son of the second patriarch of the Wu family. When he first entered school, I remember the aptitude stone judged that his talent in alchemy was very good, second only to that Lu Lan. Seeing him today, it is indeed true!"
"Oh, Lu Lan? Ever since he was admitted to the hospital, this kid has been sleeping in my lecture hall every day! He has such a natural talent for alchemy, but he has completely wasted it all on himself. He is so stupid! He is not even worthy of being compared with Wu Peng!"
"He's actually still sleeping on the alchemy table right now. It's obvious that he doesn't take the academy's top priority, the new test, seriously!"
"Hmph, don't worry about him. He's destined to fail the new test anyway. Even if he gets another chance next year, the outcome will be the same."
At this time, Wu Peng's Yi Jin Dan was almost ready.
Whether it was the elders invigilating the exam or the group of old students from the Medicine Hall surrounding the competition venue, everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Peng.
At a certain moment, a low shout suddenly rang out in the competition arena.
"The cauldron is open! The elixir is ready!"
Wu Peng spread out his hands, and the lid of the alchemy cauldron in front of him suddenly flew up, and a jade-white pill slowly flew out.
As the fragrance gradually spread, the pill slowly fell into Wu Peng's hands.
He looked at the three lines on the Yi Jin Dan, and the ecstasy in his eyes was almost uncontrollable.
Fortunately, he finally restrained himself and turned to Peng Gu and other elders, clasping his fists and saying:
"Elders, I have completed the academy's new test and successfully refined a first-grade, top-grade Yijin Pill within the allotted time!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples who were refining medicine present could not help but look at him again.
First-class quality!
This is the quality of the pill that they simply cannot possibly refine!
The senior students in the pharmacy present were also shocked and exclaimed in surprise.
After only one year in the hospital, he was able to refine first-grade, top-quality elixirs. This kind of talent has surpassed most of the old students in the pharmacy!
"Elders, please review this."
Wu Peng walked to the invigilator's seat and handed the pills to the elders there with both hands.
Several elders passed the Yi Jin Dan to each other to look at, with unstoppable smiles on their faces and constant praises.
"Haha, Wu Peng, your alchemy skills at this stage can be described as 'perfect'. Not only did you successfully refine a top-grade Yijin Pill, but you were also the first among all the disciples in the Medicine Hall to complete the alchemy... I believe that you will be the first in this new test!"
An old man in a black robe stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I hope you can maintain this attitude, not be too proud or arrogant, and strive to refine better and higher-quality pills! In the future, become a famous alchemist in the entire Dawu Kingdom!"
"If possible, I will accept you as my apprentice and personally teach you how to refine better pills."
The other elders also nodded and smiled, agreeing.
Hearing this, Wu Peng was overjoyed. He clasped his fists and bowed his head, saying respectfully:
"Thank you, Elders. Wu Peng will definitely work harder in the future! Strive to meet the expectations of all the elders!"
He glanced at Lu Lan who was still sleeping soundly in the corner, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When he first entered the pharmacy to assess his aptitude and talent, he should have been the brightest rising star, stealing all the limelight.
