Chapter 173: Chapter 8: The Shocked Great Elder of the Alchemist Hall

Lin Feng entered the deep room, which should be where the talent test for alchemists was held.

The room was completely empty, nothing was placed inside.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, an old man wearing a snow-white alchemist robe entered the room.

This old man was none other than Mo Wuya, the Great Elder of the Alchemist Hall.

“Do you wish to undergo the alchemist talent test?” the elder asked.

“It is I, elder,” Lin Feng bowed and said.

...

“Have you encountered alchemy skills before?” Mo Wuya inquired.

“I have not!” Lin Feng replied.

Mo Wuya slightly furrowed his brows and asked, “Age!”

“Sixteen!” Lin Feng answered.

Mo Wuya stated, “If you want to become an alchemist, you need to first spend four to six years as an alchemy apprentice, diligently study systematic knowledge, identify various types of spiritual medicines, understand the use of each spiritual medicine, and grasp the reactions various combinations of spiritual medicines might produce, etc. You are sixteen and have not yet encountered alchemy; you have started much later than others, how do you plan to catch up?”

Lin Feng replied, “Elder speaks the truth, but the student has heard that achieving success in the field of alchemy greatly depends on one’s own talent and comprehension. External knowledge is secondary. As long as it can be confirmed that the student has the talent for alchemists, the student will work harder to learn the basics of alchemy thoroughly.”

“Ah, you do have the spirit,” Mo Wuya nodded, then he retrieved a fiery red crystal orb.

This fiery red crystal orb was the tool used to test for alchemist talent, similar in its ingenious way to the transparent crystal orb used to test spirit array masters.

“Pour your soul power into it, and your soul power and attribute will be displayed,” Mo Wuya said.

“Yes!” Lin Feng nodded.

He took a deep breath.

His right hand placed on the fiery red crystal orb, streams of soul power flowed into the fiery red crystal orb.

Whoosh.

Instantly, the fiery red crystal orb began to change, emitting intense energy.

Inside the crystal orb, a ball of flame burst into fierce combustion.

The testing of alchemist talent was complex.

Talent was assessed from two aspects.

The first aspect was the strength of soul power.

Like the talent for spirit array masters, the soul level of alchemists was also divided into “white, silver white, blue, dark blue, dark gold, gold, dark purple, purple, purple-gold, orange—ten types.”

Regarding the fire attribute, it was also segmented into ten levels.

When soul power was poured into the crystal orb and a cluster of flame ignited, it indicated a one-star talent.

Two clusters of flame burning represented a two-star talent.

…

And so on.

Up to ten clusters of flame burning.

This represented the most powerful Ten-star Talent.

Now, as Lin Feng’s soul power just flowed into the crystal orb, the first cluster of flame ignited immediately.

“Hmm…” Mo Wuya was slightly surprised; igniting the first cluster of flame so quickly indicated that, according to his experience, Lin Feng’s fire attribute was not weak, at a minimum, it would be a three-star talent.

Not every person with alchemist talent is worth cultivating.

The talent must be at least three stars or higher.

Of a hundred with alchemist talent, only one might possess a three-star talent or higher.

Throughout the entire True Martial Country!

Among the nine great academies and the Azure Dragon Academy in the Imperial City, there were more than a million students combined, but within the Azure Dragon Academy, there were only about two hundred Alchemy Apprentices. From this, one could see just how low the probability was of becoming an Alchemist.

But soon, Mo Wuya was shocked.

Within the crystal sphere, clusters of flames began to burn, each following the next.

After the third cluster of flames ignited, then came the fourth and fifth clusters.

When the sixth cluster of flames ignited, Mo Wuya’s hands trembled slightly.

When the seventh cluster of flames ignited, Mo Wuya stared wide-eyed, his expression completely shocked.

As the eighth cluster of flames came to life, Mo Wuya felt as if his neck was being strangled, and he felt like he was about to suffocate.

When the ninth cluster of flames ignited, Mo Wuya’s eyes widened, deeply shaken.

When the tenth cluster of flames ignited, Mo Wuya’s mind even went blank.

Fire Attribute! Ten-star Talent!

The legendary Medicine King “Luo Xinghe”!

He was only a Nine-star Talent!

Even more shocking revelations followed for Mo Wuya.

Inside the crystal sphere, beams of light shot upward, starting with white, followed by silver-white, then light blue, dark blue, dark gold, gold, dark purple, purple, purple-gold, and finally stopping at orange.

“Soul Talent, Ten Stars!”

Mo Wuya couldn’t believe it as he exclaimed.

Even though he had lived for several centuries, he had never heard of such a prodigy.

Fire Attribute Ten-star Talent!

Soul Talent Ten-star Talent!

This was simply a Heavenly Reversal level monstrous being.

“Boom…”

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard; the crystal sphere actually burst open.

“My heavens, how is this possible? The crystal sphere burst? The crystal sphere couldn’t withstand this young man’s soul power? Ten-star Soul Talent, but this is not initial soul power, his soul power must have been greatly enhanced, enough to burst the crystal sphere, this soul power, at minimum, is Dark Stage Alchemist level.”

At this moment, Mo Wuya was nearly numbed by the shock.

Ten-star Soul Talent.

Ten-star Fire Attribute Talent.

He hadn’t yet become an Alchemist, but his soul power had already reached the Dark Stage Alchemist level.

This was simply too abnormal!

Once he becomes an Alchemist, during the alchemy process, his soul power will be greatly enhanced.

This is the same theory as drawing a Spirit Array; repeatedly drawing Spirit Arrays can also enhance soul power because each drawing or refining is a huge consumption.

And when all is done, as one slowly recovers, the soul power gradually increases.

“Cough cough, elder, I apologize for accidentally bursting the crystal sphere,” Lin Feng said, slightly embarrassed.

Mo Wuya then came back to his senses from the deep shock.

He tried to calm himself down.

Mo Wuya well knew what Lin Feng’s talent represented.

Perhaps in the future, a Medicine King will emerge from the Azure Dragon Academy, and by then, it will surely shake the Three Thousand States.

No, that’s not right!

The first alchemist and Medicine King Luo Xinghe from the East County Divine Land had only an Eight-star Soul Talent and a Nine-star Fire Attribute. Before becoming an Alchemist, his soul power was at Middle Yellow Rank.

Such talent was of course heavenly, but compared to Lin Feng’s talent, it seemed worlds apart.

If Luo Xinghe, who was nowhere near Lin Feng’s talent, could become a Medicine King that shocked the Three Thousand States,

is it possible that Lin Feng, with his talents, could become a Medicine Emperor or even the legendary Medicine Emperor in the future?
