1178 The Shock of the Alchemy Association President

Only now did many people recall that this was indeed the case.

In recent years, two alchemy geniuses of similar age had appeared in the Great Wei Kingdom. One was Bai Shengzu from Imperial Capital, and the other was Jiang Lan’er from Conglong City. One was from the South, and the other was from the North. Recently, they had attracted a lot of attention.

There were even rumors that alchemy experts had said that these two people had the potential to become alchemy experts in the future, and it wouldn’t take much time.

For a time, these two people became famous. Because they were of similar age and were both outstanding in the same field, they were embroiled in competition with one another. One became a junior alchemy apprentice first and the other became an intermediate alchemy apprentice first after that.

!!
In the past few years, the two sides had competed in various fields more than once or twice.

When Jiang Lan’er announced that she wanted to take the official alchemist assessment, Bai Shengzu unexpectedly also said that he wanted to take the official alchemist assessment. He also issued a challenge to Jiang Lan’er, using the junior alchemist assessment as the content of the competition.

For a time, the battle between the two sides attracted the attention of many people. It caused a huge wave among the alchemists because the two represented the future. In the foreseeable future, the two of them were very likely to become alchemy experts. Their future was limitless.

In the office of the branch president of the Alchemist Association, a man in his sixties was sitting in front of a table and marking documents.

This person was none other than the Alchemist Association’s Conglong City branch president, Kong Buyi. As the president of the Conglong City branch, the things he had to deal with every day were much more complicated than many people imagined.

Even though it was his disciple, Jiang Lan’er, who was applying for the official alchemist assessment today, he did not go down to watch. In a place like Conglong City, he was the pinnacle figure of the alchemy world. If he hadn’t carefully nurtured Jiang Lan’er since she was young, it would have been impossible for her to have such achievements at such a young age.

He was proud to have such a disciple from the bottom of his heart. After all, the alchemy field in Conglong City was far less intense than in Imperial Capital. In the capital, there were alchemy experts holding down the fort. The gap between him and the alchemy experts could not be measured.

However, under such circumstances, he had nurtured a disciple who could compete with the geniuses of the capital. In the future, there was a very high chance that she would become an alchemy expert. This was also enough to make him feel satisfied for the rest of his life.

Although he had no hope of he himself becoming an alchemy expert in this lifetime, his disciple would become an alchemy expert.

Kong Buyi was very clear about Jiang Lan’er’s strengths. In fact, she already had the ability to pass the entrance assessment to become a junior alchemist a few years ago. However, he had held her back, constantly grinding away her edges and corners, constantly strengthening her foundation.

It wasn’t a problem for her to become an alchemist. The key was what kind of results she would get in. Even if her opponent was that genius from the capital, Bai Shengzu, Kong Buyi wasn’t worried.

However, he didn’t go down to cheer for her to not cause any pressure. After all, Bai Shengzu’s master wasn’t there personally. If he went and if Bai Shengzu lost, he would inevitably be accused of adding extra pressure.

He felt that this statement was simply bullsh*t. The problems that alchemists had to face and deal with in the process of making pills were too numerous to count. How far could a person who couldn’t even resolve this little pressure go in the future?

However, rumors were still terrifying.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside. Then, a tall middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in.

“Elder Xu, what’s wrong?” Kong Buyi did not even raise his head, but he had already guessed the identity of the person who came. It was the elder of the Alchemist Association, Elder Xu.

“President, take a look at this!” Elder Xu hurriedly handed a document to Kong Buyi.

“What’s wrong? What document is so urgent?” Kong Buyi was a little puzzled. One had to know that Elder Xu was not a rash person.

“Sir, you’ll understand once you take a look! ” Elder Xu said excitedly.

Kong Buyi was curious when he saw Elder Xu’s excitement. He immediately looked at the document. However, his glassy eyes suddenly lit up.

Within a day, Chu Yunfan had consecutively passed the junior, intermediate, and senior alchemy apprentice assessments.

Kong Buyi did not find this part strange. To be honest, if he had not been suppressing Jiang Lan’er and allowed her to participate in the assessment, she could have completed all the assessments in one day.

This was nothing. He even felt that this kind of action was simply sensationalizing. He was probably crazy about breaking some record.

Since ancient times, how many of those so-called geniuses who had broken all kinds of records had made it to the end?

And those who made it to the end were mostly people who were down-to-earth and took one step at a time.

Kong Buyi looked like he was in his sixties or seventies, but in reality, he was already over a hundred years old. It was just that his Divine cultivation base had greatly extended his lifespan. A brilliant alchemist was also a powerful cultivator. This was an eternal law. He had seen too many geniuses in his life, and countless of them had fallen.

In this world, the strong were respected, not the geniuses. If a genius could not grow to the level of a strong person, he could die at any time. The trees in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. This principle had existed since ancient times.

Therefore, in his opinion, Chu Yunfan’s behavior was simply sensationalizing. Of course, this should not be Chu Yunfan’s own action, but the arrangement of the master behind him.

Kong Buyi knew that some people from alchemy sects liked to play this kind of trick. No matter how Chu Yunfan did it, he must have had the support of a powerful sect to take three assessments in one day. He knew all too well that the rise of any genius represented the support of a force or even a huge power. Wild geniuses simply did not exist.

However, when he continued to read the report, his breathing suddenly became rapid. This Chu Yunfan not only took three assessments in a row, but he also scored full marks in all three.

Full marks for all of them.

This made Kong Buyi somewhat stunned. Even his favorite disciple, Jiang Lan’er, had not achieved this. She only got full marks for the first round. There would always be some flaws in the second and third rounds.

Those small flaws were not a big problem in reality so he never cared about such problems. He would slowly improve them in the future. However, even if he were to personally take the test, it would be difficult to say that he would be able to achieve a perfect score for three rounds.

And when Kong Buyi saw the time Chu Yunfan took, he immediately understood that he could not do what Chu Yunfan had done.

What kind of joke was this? Three tests only took an hour. That was simply impossible.

If it was him, using one hour for one round was already very fast. One hour for three rounds was simply a joke.

The test machine was broken. It must be.
