Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Have I Passed?

Translator: 549690339

The Pharmacist Hall was located in the center of Divine Sword City, not far from Divine Sword Academy.

Yang Xiaotian quickly arrived at the Pharmacist Hall.

The construction of the Pharmacist Hall was grand and imposing to the extreme; many of the materials even consisted of various rare crystals, truly more extravagant than the Divine Sword Academy.

Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but marvel at how truly wealthy the Pharmacist Hall was.

That pharmacists were wealthy, he had deeply experienced.

Because this month alone, the money he had earned from selling the elixirs he crafted amounted to five or six hundred thousand gold.

To Yang Xiaotian’s surprise, the main gate of the Pharmacist Hall had no guards.

Was it because they weren’t worried about disturbances, so there was no need for guards at the gate?

Yang Xiaotian casually strolled into the Pharmacist Hall.

The architecture inside the grand hall bore some resemblance to ancient European style.

The four walls were engraved with various lifelike ancient paintings.

The grand hall was spacious, with only a silver-haired elder standing there, staring at an ancient painting.

When the silver-haired elder heard someone coming in, he turned his head, and upon seeing an eight or nine-year-old child, he appeared somewhat surprised and laughed, “Child, this is the Pharmacist Hall, you’ve gone to the wrong place. ”

Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “I know it’s the Pharmacist Hall, I came to take the alchemist examination.”

“The alchemist examination?” The silver-haired elder was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter, “Little fellow, you want to take the alchemist examination?

Typically, those who came to take the alchemist examination were at least fourteen or fifteen years old.

An eight-year-old child like Yang Xiaotian taking the alchemist examination was unheard of.

What could an eight-year-old child do?

At that age, they probably couldn’t even recognize a few medicinal materials, yet he wanted to take the alchemist examination.

No wonder the silver-haired elder laughed.

Of course, his laughter carried no malice.

The silver-haired elder was none other than Li Wen, the foremost among the four great alchemists of Divine Sea Country.

Li Wen was also the Grand Hall Master of the Divine Sea Country’s Pharmacist Hall.

The Hall Master of the Divine Sword City’s Pharmacist Hall, Lin Yuan, was his direct disciple. Li Wen had just arrived in Divine Sword City this morning, and since he didn’t want to reveal his whereabouts, nobody besides his disciple Lin Yuan knew of his arrival in Divine Sword City.

“Alright, you say you want to take the alchemist examination, do you know what qualifications are needed to become an alchemist?” Li Wen looked at Yang Xiaotian, the handsome child, with a smile in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotian said, “I know, understand the effects of various medicinal materials, possess soul perception, and be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Fire.”

Li Wen chuckled, “It seems you do know quite a lot.”

At this moment, the Hall Master of the Divine Sword City’s Pharmacist Hall, Lin Yuan, walked in. Seeing his master having a conversation with an eight- or nine-year-old child, he couldn’t help but be surprised. Upon learning that Yang Xiaotian wanted to take the alchemist examination, Lin Yuan, like Li Wen, also smiled.

Li Wen said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, “Child, how about this, if you can successfully craft a batch of low-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid within six hours, I will make an exception and let you join the Pharmacist Hall.’

According to the rules of the Pharmacist Hall, crafting a batch of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid within three hours would mean passing the one-star pharmacist examination.

Considering Yang Xiaotian’s age, Li Wen was giving him six hours to successfully craft the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.

“No need to make an exception,” Yang Xiaotian replied upon hearing this, shaking his head, “If the rule of the Pharmacist Hall is three hours, then it’s three hours.”

Now, he didn’t even need half an hour to craft a premium Dragon-Tiger Elixir, let alone Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.

He should be able to craft a batch of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in about ten minutes now.

Li Wen heard Yang Xiaotian say there was no need for exceptions and exchanged a smile with Lin Yuan.

This little fellow sure had some spirit.

“Good, you’ve got spirit,” Li Wen said, looking at Yang Xiaotian with a smile; he was suddenly rather fond of this adorable little fellow.

Then, he and Lin Yuan took Yang Xiaotian to the grand hall specially used for the alchemist examination.

Li Wen took out his own Medicine Cauldron and said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, “Little fellow, use my Medicine Cauldron to craft.”

Lin Yuan was astonished.

The Master had always treasured his Medicine Cauldron, yet today, he was willing to take it out for this child to undergo an Alchemy assessment.

Yang Xiaotian didn’t think much of it and nodded, “Okay.”

Straight away, Lin Yuan placed the fourteen medicinal ingredients needed to concoct the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in front of Yang Xiaotian.

However, Alchemists participating in the assessment had to pay a certain fee since the Pharmacist Hall couldn’t just give away these ingredients for free, but when Yang Xiaotian was about to pay, Li Wen smiled and said, “No need, little guy, I’ll pay.”

Yang Xiaotian didn’t stand on ceremony and, with a flick of his finger, all fourteen medicinal ingredients immediately flew up and into the Medicine Cauldron.

Li Wen and Lin Yuan, who hadn’t thought much of it, were both taken aback.

A true expert reveals himself with a single action.

The gesture with which Yang Xiaotian had flicked his fingers stunned them both.

“What is that?!” Lin Yuan exclaimed as he looked at Yang Xiaotian in astonishment.

The simple flick of Yang Xiaotian’s fingers was, in reality, an extraordinarily mysterious maneuver, resembling an Alchemy technique thought to have been lost long ago.

Yet, he wasn’t entirely certain.

He looked towards his Master, Li Wen.

“It’s the Layered Wave Hand!” Li Wen’s voice trembled slightly.

The Layered Wave Hand, a technique he was fortunate enough to have witnessed a precedent perform at an unparalleled grand Alchemy conference years ago.

He understood the significance behind the Layered Wave Hand more deeply than his disciple Lin Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was greatly shaken. It was indeed the Layered Wave Hand!

At that moment, Yang Xiaotian clasped his hands in front of him and, with a sweeping motion, streams of Heaven and Earth Fire gathered from all around.

These torrents of Heaven and Earth Fire, like ocean waves, surged toward the Medicine Cauldron.

Seeing the all-enveloping Heaven and Earth Fire approaching, both Li Wen and Lin Yuan were taken aback, their faces filled with shock.

“How is this possible!” Lin yuan’s voice trembled.

Yang Xiaotian, an eight-year-old child, had soul power so strong that he could attract so much Heaven and Earth Fire.

Moreover, this Heaven and Earth Fire was so pure!

What both men didn’t know was that Yang Xiaotian had actually restrained his soul power.

In front of the incredulous gazes of Lin Yuan and Li Wen, Yang Xiaotian’s gestures never ceased, and the Heaven and Earth Fire kept pouring into the Medicine Cauldron.

These waves of Heaven and Earth Fire, sometimes raging, sometimes calm, continuously flowed.

Under the tempering of this Heaven and Earth Fire, soon all fourteen ingredients in the Medicine Cauldron melted one by one.

Shortly after, all fourteen ingredients had fused, forming a single entity.

A vibrant green liquid materialized in front of the two men.

A fragrance of medicinal herbs pervaded the entire hall.

And this fragrance was concentrated and enduring.

Li Wen and Lin Yuan were stunned as they looked at the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid inside the Medicine Cauldron.

It was done?

It seemed like only a quarter of an hour had passed!

“This is premium grade!” Lin Yuan couldn’t contain his excitement.

In just a quarter of an hour, a premium grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had been crafted!

He looked at Yang Xiaotian as if he were beholding a priceless treasure.

Yang Xiaotian, however, let out a sigh of relief. He had intentionally crafted the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to premium grade quality because concocting a supreme-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid in just a quarter of an hour would have been too startling.

However, having gotten accustomed to crafting supreme-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid before, deliberately making a premium-grade one now was genuinely tiring.

Seeing that Li Wen and Lin Yuan were still staring at the premium-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without saying a word, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to speak up, “So, did I pass?
