Chapter 88: Should Be of Middle Quality

Translator: 549690339

Cheng Long, who was initially displaying the Phantom Demon Hand as if he had eight arms, selected a type of herb and was feeling quite pleased with himself when suddenly, he saw a gust of wind rise next to him. Xiaotian’s finger force, like a torrential downpour, popped out one herb after another.

Then he heard the excited exclamations of “Gale Torrential Rain” technique from the crowd around him.

He was completely dumbfounded, “Gale, Torrential Rain?!”

One of the top ten alchemy techniques?

He was bewildered.

Not only was Cheng Long bewildered, but Chen Zihan, who was vigorously executing the Cloud Brushing Hand to perfection, was also dumbfounded.

And so were Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, and the others.

They stared at Xiaotian who by now had ceased his movements.

By this time, the sunlight was already very strong, and Xiaotian stood there bathed in sunlight, his entire body seemingly cloaked in a layer of golden radiance.

“Please begin the count,” Xiaotian said to an appraiser nearby as everyone else was in shock.

The appraiser came to his senses and was about to step forward to start counting when Lin Yuan leapt down in front of Xiaotian and the pile of herbs, carefully counting the fourteen types of herbs Xiaotian had selected.

“Single Fruit, top-grade, Five Spirits Flower, top-grade…” Lin Yuan read each name, and with each one, his heart tightened a little more.

“All fourteen herbs are correct, all top-grade, time taken, thirteen breaths,” Lin Yuan stood up, trying to stabilize his emotions, but as soon as he spoke, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

Thirteen breaths!

Even he couldn’t have done it.

Even if he used all his skills, to pick out all fourteen herbs would take at least forty to fifty breaths.

Let alone that the herbs Xiaotian had picked were all top-grade.

The best ones!

Hearing the results announced by Lin Yuan personally, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, and the others, who still harbored a sliver of hope Xiaotian’s selection might be wrong, were completely devastated.

With this result, Xiaotian was undoubtedly going to be first.

Even if the herbs they had picked were all top-grade, they could not surpass Xiaotian.

“Divine Yang!”

“Divine Yang!”

Suddenly, the teachers and students of Divine Sword Academy shouted excitedly.

“Divine Yang!” Suddenly, Gu Xi, the prince of Ancient Sword Kingdom, also called out excitedly.

Many of the Sword Dao Disciples from Ancient Sword Kingdom had always admired Xiaotian, and seeing their prince shouting, they also cried out, “Divine Yang!”

The roar grew louder, leaving Cheng Beibei and her guards feeling almost deafened.

Cheng Beibei stood there, completely drowned out by the uproar, unable to summon a smile any longer.

The noise took a long time to subside.

At this time, within Divine Sword Academy, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were discussing the exam results for the end of the school term when they saw students running out crazily, making them wonder what was going on.

They stopped a student and asked what the matter was.

“It’s Divine Yang, Hall Master Yang, Hall Master Yang is participating in the Pharmacist competition,” said the excited student.

Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were astounded.

“You mean, Hall Master Yang, he is a Pharmacist? He passed the Pharmacist assessment?” Lin Yong asked, astonished.

Before the two could fully react, the student continued, “Hall Master Yang just performed one of the top ten alchemy techniques, Gale Torrential Rain, and took first place in the first round!”

One of the top ten alchemy techniques!

Gale Torrential Rain!

Long after the student had left, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan still stood there stupefied.

“Hall Master him?!” After a long time, Chen Yuan stuttered.

Lin Yong took a deep breath to steady his heart, “You’re right.” Then he said, “I almost became the criminal of the academy!”

This was referring to the previous incident where Chen Yuan persuaded him to have Yang Xiaotian stay at the Divine Sword Academy.

“Should we inform Elder Chen and the others about the Hall Master participating in the Pharmacist competition?” Chen Yuan suddenly said.

“Yes, yes, tell Elder Chen and the others!” Lin Yong snapped back to his senses and hurried to the Sword Hall with Chen Yuan.

Moments later, in the Sword Hall, five figures dashed out, sprinting at full speed to the Medicine Hall competition venue, along with Lin Yong and Chen Yuan.

The first round of the competition had a set time limit of half an hour.

Within half an hour, any pharmacist who had not selected their medicinal ingredients would be eliminated.

Of course, those who chose randomly or incorrectly were equally disqualified.

In the first round, Yang Xiaotian was naturally the uncontested first place.

The second place was Cheng Long, third was Chen Zihan, followed by Deng Yichun, Huang Tingting, and others, with Hu Xing just making it into the top ten.

Although they had guessed that the first round would turn out this way, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, and others still couldn’t hide their displeasure.

They, always regarding themselves as the best of the younger generation among the Divine Sea Country’s pharmacists, were actually losing to an eight-year-old child today?

Cheng Beibei’s bodyguard spoke up, “Princess, rest assured, the Pharmacist competition ultimately judges alchemy level, Yang Xiaotian may know the Gale Torrential Rain, but he definitely won’t be able to refine high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.”

“Let alone high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, he definitely won’t be able to refine even a medium-quality one.”

“By then, the first place will still belong to the Second Prince.”

Cheng Beibei looked slightly better upon hearing this and coldly said, “You’re right, the first place in the Pharmacist competition will still be my second brother’s.”

At this time, Lin Yuan, who was on the presiding stage, said, “Next is the second round of the competition. The challenge of the second round is for you to refine a portion of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid with the medicinal ingredients you have selected.”

“Whoever refines the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid of the highest quality and in the shortest time will rank the highest.”

Hearing that the second round of the competition was indeed about refining the quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, Huang Tingting, and the others felt relieved.

Having refined for many years, they were extremely confident in their ability to produce Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, with a ninety percent success rate.

And certainly, the quality of the Spiritual Liquid they refined would not be low.

Especially Cheng Long, who was extremely confident, as he possessed the Cold Spirit Bone Fire, ranked at number one thousand six hundred and thirty-one on the Spirit Fire Ranking.

He didn’t believe that the quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid that Yang Xiaotian would refine later would surpass his own.

“The competition begins,” Lin Yuan declared loudly.

Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Deng Yichun, Hu Xing, Huang Tingting, and others immediately got to work.

Wu Qi, Liu An, and others watched Yang Xiaotian closely.

“Master, what quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid do you think the young master can refine?” Liu An couldn’t help asking.

“Should be medium-quality,” Wu Qi contemplated.

An eight-year-old child refining medium-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid would certainly be an incredible event, but Yang Xiaotian had the Flame of Star; it was possible for him to refine a medium-quality Spiritual Liquid.

At this time, Chen Changqing, He Le, Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and others had also arrived at the scene. They too watched Yang Xiaotian nervously.

It was certain that Yang Xiaotian could refine at least low-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid since he had passed the Pharmacist examination, but they were still praying in their hearts that he would create another Divine Miracle and refine medium-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid this time.

All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian.

Everyone wanted to see what quality of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid Yang Xiaotian could actually refine.

Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Xiaotian suddenly stretched out his arm and shouted, “Fire, come!”

Instantly, between heaven and earth, countless Heaven and Earth Fires transformed into a sea of fire, surging heavenward toward Yang Xiaotian.

When everyone saw that upon Yang Xiaotian’s call, the Heaven and Earth Fire appeared and surged toward him like a sea of fire, they were stunned.

Cheng Long, Chen Zihan, Hu Xing, Deng Yichun, and others, upon seeing the fire sea-like Heaven and Earth Fire, were so frightened they stopped in their tracks.
