Huang Yaochen's eyes swept over everyone, and then he spoke loudly.
"All those who have passed the preliminary selection, please go to the corresponding desk according to your number!"
Li Lingge looked at the wooden sign in his hand - "Ci No. 73".
He followed the crowd toward the desk in the third area, and noticed Zhao Han heading straight for Area A.
There were already quite a few people standing on the platform, and Li Lingge found his seat.
He looked around and found that most of the contestants on the same stage looked nervous, and some had even started wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
"The second round of the test is medicinal herb identification." Huang Yaochen stood in the center of the podium and announced the rules. "Each of you will have a pill recipe and the herbs you need to select on your desk. Select the herbs with the year written on the recipe."
This test is not difficult for many alchemists.
Li Lingge quickly selected the herbs needed for the pill recipe from the herbs in front of him.
"Huaqing Pill."
If his guess was correct, the next third test would be to refine the Huaqing Pill as written on the recipe.
Huaqing Dan has very strict requirements on the age ratio of medicinal materials. If the age difference is too big, it is easy to fail when refining the medicine.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Huang Yaochen did not check whether the medicinal materials selected by the examinees were correct, but spoke directly.
"Everyone must refine a Huaqing Pill within the time of one stick of incense. The one with the higher efficacy and the shorter the time, will be the winner of this assessment."
However, at this moment Fengjiu added another sentence.
"The winner of this new member recruitment conference will receive a Fulong Pill!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar.
"Fulong Pill, that's a high-level divine pill that can enhance mental strength!"
“It is said that only the Medicine King God of the Divine Court can refine the Fulong Pill. Even the Phoenix Sect Master cannot refine this pill.”
"Although the winner of the new member recruitment conference will receive a reward, I've never heard of such a valuable elixir being the reward!"
"From what I can see, this pill is clearly given to Li Lingge."
“That’s right, although Li Lingge has amazing talent in alchemy, his cultivation is too low, and his mental strength must be very poor, so Sect Master Feng would use this pill as the leader Jiang Li.”
When Zhao Han heard the three words "Fulongdan", greed suddenly flashed in his eyes.
If he could get this Fulong Pill, even if his talent in alchemy was not as good as Li Lingge's, he would definitely be able to defeat him.
After all, alchemy is not just about talent, but also about luck and opportunity.
Without a good alchemy furnace and divine fire, one cannot make elixirs relying solely on talent.
He just didn't believe that his talent was not as good as Li Lingge's, and that his luck and opportunities would be worse than the other's.
"This leader must be me!"
Huang Yaochen couldn't help but pull his beard after hearing that Fengjiu offered the Fulong Pill as a reward.
Then, he let out a long sigh, obviously having completely given up on the idea of accepting a disciple.
The temptation of Fulongdan is so great that even a fool would know what to choose.
After all, Fengjiu is the leader of the Fuyao Sect. The other party can take out a Fulong Pill, but he can't.
Huang Yaochen took a deep breath, took out a stick of sandalwood and lit it.
"The third round of testing, alchemy begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the area A.
"Blood Flame Furnace! The Zhao family actually gave their most precious treasure to Zhao Han!"
Zhao Han raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, a dark red alchemy furnace with hideous blood patterns engraved on its body fell to the ground with a bang.
The moment the furnace lid was opened, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
"The Blood Flame Furnace, made with thousand-year-old blood crystals, can devour impurities from spiritual medicines and improve the quality of the finished pills!"
Zhao Han looked around proudly, and seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, he felt even more proud.
However, his gaze quickly froze—
"Wait… what is that?"
Everyone's attention was focused on the southeast corner.
Li Lingge looked calm as he slowly took out a jade-like alchemy furnace from his storage ring.
The furnace body has nine turns, each turn is engraved with ancient runes. When the furnace lid is opened, there is fairy music and rosy light!
"Nine Revolutions Exquisite Cauldron?!" Zhao Han's pupils suddenly shrank, and his voice was almost distorted, "This is impossible!"
