The words of Elder Wang instantly caused a huge uproar in the square.
“What? So this is how it is?”
The crowd boiled over, like an exploded pot. They had only heard that someone would be publicly tested for the title of Medicine King at the Alchemy Pavilion, but were unclear about the details. Now, hearing Elder Wang's statement, it felt like an explosion had occurred.
Someone actually dared to take action against the Holy Son of Jinzhou at the Alchemy Pavilion? This... is this going against the heavens?
The Holy Son, who is that? He is the symbol of the Alchemy Pavilion, the top genius in Alchemy City, and can be said to be the future of alchemy.
How can such a person be injured at the Alchemy Pavilion? Is there still a king's law? Is there still heavenly justice?
In an instant, the crowd became noisy, whispering among themselves and discussing fervently.
“Wang Yongsheng, don’t spout nonsense,” Elder Jiao said, his face pale.
“Elder Jiao, there's no need to waste time with him. Wang Yongsheng, after all this babbling, can this Young Master start the assessment now?” Qin Chen stepped onto the high platform and said to Wang Yongsheng indifferently.
“What? It’s this young man who is going to be assessed?”
“Damn, he’s too young, isn’t he?”
“This... I did hear that the age of the assessor seems to be quite young, but this is just too young, isn’t it? He looks to be only around twenty!”
“A boy in his early twenties wants to take the Medicine King assessment? Brother, pinch me, am I seeing things? Or is this a dream?”
“Damn, that really hurts, this isn’t a dream!”
Seeing Qin Chen on the stage, everyone was dumbfounded, as if they had been possessed, nearly fainting from the shock.
They had expected a master to come for the assessment, and even if he was young, he should at least be in his forties, right?
Among alchemists, being in their forties to take the Medicine King assessment was already considered quite young.
But who would have thought it was just a boy over twenty?
This was a complete shock, leaving everyone dumbfounded, almost thinking they were seeing things.
“No, this definitely can’t be right. How could such a young boy be here for the Medicine King assessment?”
“Yeah, it must be a mistake. Perhaps the Alchemy Pavilion is just playing a joke on us, that boy should just be a staff member of the Alchemy Pavilion.”
“That makes sense, brother, I think you’re quite clever. Have you thought about teaming up with me?”
“Who the hell are you? I have dozens of brothers, do I need to team up with you?”
The crowd stirred restlessly, all looking at Wang Yongsheng, hoping he would dismiss their doubts. Unfortunately, what Wang Yongsheng said next instantly dashed their hopes.
“Hmph, since you’re so eager to find death, let’s get started. The materials have already been prepared for you,” Wang Yongsheng said with a cold smile.
Could it really be this boy who is taking the assessment?
The crowd was in a frenzy, each one stunned.
What kind of nonsense is this? Isn’t this just playing with people?
They had come here with great difficulty, and many had even set aside important matters just to witness the prowess of the Medicine King in alchemy.
In their view, those who dared to publicly take the assessment wouldn’t be without some skill, right?
But now, everyone was frustrated. A young man in his twenties was taking the Medicine King assessment? Isn’t this a joke? If someone so young can pass the assessment, even pigs could fly.
“Damn, this Alchemy Pavilion is really good at playing tricks!”
“What’s going on?”
“I was in the middle of refining a crucial elixir when I got this news, and I rushed over directly. The spiritual herbs I painstakingly obtained are now wasted, isn’t this just messing with me?”
The crowd completely erupted. If it weren’t for the Alchemy Pavilion’s absolute influence in Alchemy City, they might have already rioted.
Swish, swish, swish!
At this moment, on the high platform in the center of the square, nearly ten elders from the Alchemy Pavilion stood proudly, forming a circle around Qin Chen in the middle.
