Martial Master

"With half an hour left until the assessment is over, everyone hurry up!"

Accompanied by Liu Guang's low shout, Zhou Tao and the others finally snapped out of their shock and quickly composed themselves to begin their alchemy.

However, under the influence of Qin Chen, how could Zhou Tao and the others calm down?

Especially Zhou Tao, who was still immersed in the shock of seeing Qin Chen pour several types of medicinal herbs into the cauldron simultaneously. Just as he began to refine, he lost focus for a moment, and with a puff, black smoke erupted from the cauldron, incinerating all the herbs and resulting in failure.

He could only retreat in dismay, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

It was just too unfortunate. If it weren't for Qin Chen, how could he have made such a low-level mistake? In an instant, he even had the heart to chop Qin Chen into pieces.

But that was just a thought. If he passed the assessment, Qin Chen would officially become an alchemist, and if Qin Chen lost a single hair, the one who would be unlucky would still be him.

Not long after Zhou Tao was eliminated, Xu Jing also made a mistake, which led to her failure and elimination.

On the other hand, Wang An was initially somewhat unsettled.

Upon seeing Qin Chen's refinement process, he instantly felt disheartened.

Looking at others who weren’t even alchemy apprentices, yet were able to become official alchemists on their first attempt at the assessment.

Then looking at himself.

After decades of hard practice, he had failed the assessment every time due to various issues. Perhaps he really wasn’t suited to be an alchemist.

With this thought, Wang An's mindset relaxed, and he surprisingly made it to the end.

Eventually, a faint fragrance emerged, and eight alchemical pills, somewhat pockmarked and gray-brown in color, fell from the cauldron and were presented on a jade plate.

Six were low-grade first-tier True Essence Pills, and two were waste pills. Wang An passed the third round of the assessment!"

Liu Guang furrowed his brow for a long time, but finally, with a good mood, he approved Wang An's passage.

"Thank you, Master Liu Guang, Master Chen Mu, and Master Ouyang Cheng." Wang An's legs trembled with excitement, and he began to cry.

Although these were tears of happiness and excitement, seeing a man over sixty crying uncontrollably in the assessment room was quite a spectacle.

"This is your first-tier alchemist badge. With this badge, you can freely enter any Alchemy Pavilion in the Tianwu Continent, enjoying the privileges of a first-tier alchemist, and you will also receive discounts when purchasing herbs and pills in the Alchemy Pavilion."

Taking out two badges, Liu Guang handed them to Qin Chen and Wang An.

"Thank you, Master Liu Guang."

Wang An's hands trembled as he accepted the badge, looking like he was about to cry again.

"Cough, cough, cough. Alright, this is the result of your hard work." Liu Guang quickly patted Wang An's shoulder to comfort him.

Meanwhile, Qin Chen held the badge and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Master Liu Guang, having passed the alchemist assessment, I should be qualified to meet the pavilion master, right?" Qin Chen suddenly spoke after putting away the badge.

His purpose in passing the alchemist assessment was to meet the pavilion master, and now he finally reached this step.

"You want to meet the pavilion master?" Liu Guang was taken aback and looked at Qin Chen with confusion. "The pavilion master is very busy and rarely meets people, even the alchemists of the Alchemy Pavilion."

"Can’t meet?"

Qin Chen was dumbfounded.

He had specifically taken the alchemist assessment to meet the pavilion master, and if he couldn't meet the master, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

"It's not that you can't meet, but there isn't much of importance. We wouldn't disturb the pavilion master for trivial matters. Do you have something important?"

If it were an ordinary alchemist, Liu Guang would naturally not bother, but given how astonishing Qin Chen's talent had been shown before, he asked one more question.
