Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 104: Went to the Wrong Place?
Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Went to the Wrong Place?
After being introduced to each other, Mo Wangchen slightly raised his gaze and looked at Tang Zihan, who had remained silent. He smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, Miss Tang seems to have also passed the Yun Chu Academy’s examination this year, but I didn’t see you among the new students this session?"
Hearing this, Tang Zihan was taken aback for a moment. "I realized I wanted to wholeheartedly follow my master in studying the Alchemy Dao. As for martial arts, I lack the talent, so I’ll just let it be..."
"Zihan has a good talent for the Alchemy Dao. She has come to participate in the second-tier examination. She has devoted herself to alchemy with me and has no energy to divide her attention to martial arts, so she gave up the eligibility to enter Yun Chu Academy," Xue Zheng said with a sigh.
"Haha, the Alchemy Dao is complex and intricate. It’s indeed rare for someone to simultaneously focus on developing their martial arts. I’m afraid that if both the alchemy and martial arts fail, that would be trouble. Miss Tang’s determination in choosing the Alchemy Dao means there’s no worry of lacking achievements in the future," Mo Wangchen chuckled as he spoke.
"Then I’ll take Master Mo’s good words!" Tang Zihan also smiled. In front of Mo Wangchen, her previous arrogance had long disappeared.
"What about the matter of the Qi Gathering Pill?" Mo Wangchen’s gaze then turned to Lin Qing as he spoke.
"Based on Young Master Mo’s suggestion, I’ve already recruited a few trustworthy alchemists. They’ve already started large-scale production and should be able to sell them in large quantities soon." Lin Qing said with some delight on his face.
The emergence of the Qi Gathering Pill had caused a sensation. It brought Lin Qing many favors from the Alliance, but he was well aware that everything he had was brought by Mo Wangchen!
The conversation between Mo Wangchen and Lin Qing left Liang Yuqiu, Su Ye, and others exchanging glances. They faintly realized that the Qi Gathering Pill seemed to be related to Mo Wangchen?
Seeing their confusion, Lin Qing explained, "Actually, the alchemy recipe for the Qi Gathering Pill was given to me by Young Master Mo."
Mo Wangchen gave the alchemy recipe?!
Hearing this, Su Ye and the others suddenly realized why Lin Qing was so respectful to Mo Wangchen. It turned out that Lin Qing’s current achievements were all thanks to Mo Wangchen!
Amazed in their hearts, they couldn’t help but look at Lin Qing with envy.
"Haha, the Qi Gathering Pill is not of a high tier, and its cost of production is low. It’s consumable, so if you produce it alone, the demand will likely exceed supply. If possible, you could have Masters Xue Zheng and Su Ye join in. I trust their character," Mo Wangchen suggested with a smile.
"Everything as Young Master Mo says!" Lin Qing had no objections. The alchemy recipe was from Mo Wangchen, and he was right that once the Qi Gathering Pill was on sale, it would be endlessly popular. Fangtian City’s Alchemy Pavilion alone could never meet the demand.
Moreover, besides the Qi Gathering Pill, there were several other types of pills, but they hadn’t been put on the market yet due to time constraints.
If Su Ye and Xue Zheng could join in the production of Qi Gathering Pills, then Lin Qing could spare time to research the other kinds of pills.
Soon, a commotion erupted in the four-story hall. Elder Bai, who had previously been responsible below, came up.
Behind him were several people, also alchemists of the Alliance.
"Let’s start the examination below. Those participating in the first-tier examination, please follow Elder Wen to the first area!"
Elder Bai handed a list to the person behind him, referred to as Elder Wen.
Then, a large group of young faces emerged from the crowd. These were participants without tier accreditation, here for the first-tier examination. If they could pass, they would become genuine first-tier alchemists from then on.
"Those taking the second-tier examination, please follow Elder Luo to the second area."
"Those taking the third-tier examination, please follow Elder Chen to the third area."
"As for the fourth-tier examination, come with me..." Elder Bai finally whispered, and then three or four elderly figures emerged from the crowd. This time, only four people participated in the fourth-tier examination.
As the tier increases, improvement becomes harder. In past exams, at most, one person would attempt the fourth tier each year, rarely more than two. Yet, this time there were four.
"Young Master Mo, I heard that in our third-tier examination, the champion will receive a reward of five hundred thousand gold coins and many precious herbs," Lin Qing said with a smile to Mo Wangchen from the crowd.
"Champion?" Mo Wangchen was puzzled, "Isn’t it said that as long as you make three kinds of third-tier pills, you pass?"
Was there some sort of competition in the examination?
Seeing Mo Wangchen’s confusion, Lin Qing explained, "Indeed, as long as you successfully create three kinds of pills, you pass. After passing, the Alliance will take your pills to analyze, compare the difficulty, pill color, and other aspects, and then choose one champion to receive the reward offered by the Alliance."
"So that’s how it is..."
Mo Wangchen smiled. He had never heard of such matters before.
"No. 1 position, Lin Qing!"
"No. 2 position, Fang Ming!"
"No. 3 position, Xue Zheng!"
...
"No. 7 position, Su Ye!"
...
"No. 15 position, Mo Wangchen!"
"Please take your places!" With Elder Chen’s lead, Mo Wangchen and the others arrived at the third area, the site for the third-tier examination.
The participants and many spectators, who came for the excitement, followed over as well.
Yet, as Elder Chen announced the positions and the contestants took their places, all eyes landed on the No. 15 spot, looking slightly stunned.
"Who is that? That boy?"
"Haha! Has he come to the wrong place?"
"Hey! Kid! This is the third-tier alchemist examination. If you’re taking the first or second-tier exam, it’s in the first or second area!"
Many in the crowd shouted to Mo Wangchen. They also noticed that Mo Wangchen seemed to be around eighteen years old, so how could he be there for the third-tier exam?
Not only the crowd but even Elder Chen was slightly taken aback when he announced the name and saw Mo Wangchen go on stage. He looked at Mo Wangchen with puzzled eyes.
Hearing the crowd’s words and noticing Elder Chen’s gaze, Mo Wangchen rubbed his nose and smiled, "I am Mo Wangchen. I don’t think I’m in the wrong place..."
