The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 536: Chapter 536 Analyzing the Creation Pill

President Qing Ru, do you think Alchemist Jing Yan can advance to the third round?” the President of Black Teeth Commerce asked in a low voice.

The Presidents of Black Teeth Commerce and Qing Ru were quite familiar with each other. Moreover, the two commerce groups formed somewhat of an alliance. The competition between the commerce associations in Pill Country was extremely fierce, with Black Teeth Commerce and Youhai Commerce being the weakest two. They faced more pressure, so their cooperation to some extent helped alleviate the burden on both of their shoulders.

”There shouldn’t be any problem,” Qing Ru said with a smile and a nod.

The President of Black Teeth Commerce was slightly stunned; he didn’t expect Qing Ru to have such strong confidence in Jing Yan.

For Qing Ru to say there shouldn’t be any problem was enough to prove that Qing Ru had full confidence in this Alchemist named Jing Yan.

”President Qing Ru does indeed have good judgment. Spending twenty million Spirit Stones to have Alchemist Jing Yan as a spokesperson should be a cost-effective deal,” the Black Teeth President said with a light chuckle.

If Jing Yan could advance to the third round, then the twenty million Spirit Stones the commerce spent would indeed be well worth it.

Although the Black Teeth President said this, he still harbored some disbelief in his heart. Alchemists who could advance to the third round almost always had significant backing, and an obscure alchemist like Jing Yan advancing to the third round seemed highly unlikely.

Naturally, the Black Teeth President would not express these doubts openly.

Bai Lan, standing to the side, heard the conversation between Qing Ru and overheard their dialogue. He let out a disdainful sneer. He didn’t say anything at that moment, but once Jing Yan got eliminated in the second round, he would certainly make some sarcastic remarks to ridicule Qing Ru. He felt quite embarrassed today and was extremely displeased; he had to vent his feelings.

On the third-tier square, the ninth answer sheet was collected. Following that, it was finally the last Elixir’s turn.

Jing Yan watched the movements of the white-robed elder, feeling a bit nervous at this moment.

Because, following the pattern of before, if nothing unexpected happened, then this final Elixir should be a High-level Elixir.

Jing Yan was only a Sixth-level Alchemist; he had never refined a High-level Elixir before. Moreover, in a place like Lanqu County’s commandery, one would indeed hardly ever see any High-level Elixirs.

The eighth and ninth Elixirs were Sixth-level Elixirs. It was about a ninety percent chance that this last one would be a Seventh-level Elixir.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the white-robed elder finally took out the tenth type of Elixir.

It was a pill surrounded by a purple Light Halo. Under the cover of the purple light, one could vaguely see various colors mixed in.

”Dear Alchemists, this is the final type of Elixir for the second round of this Alchemy competition. This Elixir is a Seventh-level Elixir,” the white-robed elder announced the Grade of the Elixir.

Jing Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, thinking to himself that it indeed was a Seventh-level Elixir.

And he indeed had never seen such a Seventh-level Elixir before.

What to do?

For the previous nine questions, he didn’t know how many points he could receive. In Jing Yan’s mind, he should be able to get a full score of ten points for each of the previous nine questions, which would total ninety points. However, Jing Yan was also unsure whether there could be any mistakes, so there might be some discrepancies in the score.

Of course, even if there were discrepancies, Jing Yan felt that he should still be able to score above eighty points. However, whether an eighty to ninety-point score would be enough to advance to the third round was uncertain.

The four hundred and three Alchemists participating in the second round were by no means simple characters. It was hard to say how many points these Alchemists could score in the second round.

Out of four hundred and three Alchemists, only about one hundred could advance to the third round, which was indeed very challenging.

So, Jing Yan didn’t want to give up this tenth question lightly. He wanted to try!

He quietly activated Qiankun Pill Path.

”Hmm?”

”Creation Pill?” Jing Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Before coming to Pill Country, Zhou Shangyun had mentioned the final rewards of the Alchemy competition to Jing Yan, which included the Creation Pill. The Creation Pill was a Seventh-level Elixir that could assist Martial Artists at the Dao Spirit Realm in breaking through to the Daoist Master Realm, immensely precious. Even in Pill Country, one simply couldn’t purchase the Creation Pill.

Through Qiankun Pill Path, knowing the name of the final type of Elixir, Jing Yan nodded slightly.

One of the rewards of this edition of the Alchemy competition was the Creation Pill, and now the organizers had brought out the Creation Pill as the test for the second round, which seemed like a very normal situation. He should have thought of this point earlier.

Following that, Jing Yan picked up the pen and wrote down the three characters for ”Creation Pill.” Recognizing the Elixir would allow him to score certain points on this question.

Jing Yan noticed that on the third-tier square, many people were writing on their answer sheets; clearly, quite a few had recognized this Elixir.

Among these Alchemists, perhaps most of them had never seen the Creation Pill, but certainly many of them had guessed what the final Elixir could be. And even if they couldn’t confirm that it was the Creation Pill, they would have some degree of certainty.

After writing down the three characters for ”Creation Pill,” Jing Yan continued to operate Qiankun Pill Path, a formless power slowly enveloping the floating Creation Pill above.

Since Jing Yan was only a Sixth-level Alchemist, and the unlocked Qiankun Pill Path only included the Entry and Advanced Study Chapters, there was no information on the Seventh-level Elixir, the Creation Pill, within those Chapters. Therefore, Jing Yan didn’t know the Spiritual Grass Materials needed for refining the Creation Pill, let alone the Pill Formula.

Activating the Qiankun Pill Path and covering the Creation Pill, was only a trial. He wanted to see if the Qiankun Pill Path could analyze the Spiritual Grass Materials used to refine the Creation Pill.

Time passed by slowly.

Suddenly, Jing Yan’s eyes brightened.

The Qiankun Pill Path did not disappoint Jing Yan as a stream of information suddenly flowed into his mind. Various kinds of Spiritual Grass Materials all fused into his consciousness.

”Haha...” Jing Yan truly wanted to laugh out loud, but fortunately, he hadn’t lost his reason and knew that in such a setting, he couldn’t be too unrestrained. So, he just laughed heartily in his mind.

Immediately after, Jing Yan wrote down the various materials on the answer sheet.

Jing Yan was indeed a little excited; when he had covered the Creation Pill with Qiankun Pill Path just now, he wasn’t sure if Qiankun Pill Path could analyze the information for the Creation Pill, but Qiankun Pill Path turned out to be so miraculously effective, and he had succeeded.

Not long after Jing Yan stopped writing, the time for a cup of tea passed, and the white-robed elder asked everyone to stop writing; then, staff members swiftly collected this tenth answer sheet.

Soon, the tenth answer sheet was also delivered to the Highest Staircase Square, laid before the ten judges.

The ten judges, in front of each, placed four hundred and three sheets. The first judge was reviewing the first question’s answers. The second judge was reviewing the second question, and so on.

”Alchemists, you may rest momentarily, awaiting the scoring of the answer sheets. Be aware, you must not leave the third-tier square before the Alchemists advancing to the third round are determined!” the white-robed elder said to Jing Yan and the others.
