Chapter 3664: Don’t regret it!
....

Though this smell roughly corresponded to the 13 medicinal ingredients, there were still some differences between these 13 smells after a closer look.
Perhaps others would not be able to distinguish it, but this was not a problem for Ling Han, the Alchemy Emperor.
Ling Han opened his mouth, and said, “This is the horn of a horned-tiger, ground into dust.”
Ye Wenbin was taken aback. F***, that’s right.
Had he guessed correctly, or… had he really managed to distinguish it?
If it was the former, then it could only be said that Ling Han’s luck was really good, but if it was the latter, this brat’s ability to recognize herbs was too terrifying.
However, whether it was the former or the latter, neither of them could allow Ling Han to pa.s.s the test.
“Wrong, this is High Firmament Gra.s.s.” Ye Wenbin shook his head.
Ling Han couldn’t help but fly into a rage. ‘It’s fine if you’re deliberately making things difficult for me, but I clearly answered correctly, yet you’re deliberately saying that I’m wrong. This is going too far.’
“You dare to trick me?” he asked balefully.
Ye Wenbin was given a fright. He felt as if this person in front of him had transformed into an emperor, his authority boundless, causing a chill to rise up from the bottom of his heart.
However, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. He was a High Level alchemy disciple. If he feared a minor character that could not even be considered an alchemy disciple, what face would he have left?
“If you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Why are you spouting so much nonsense?” he said harshly.
Ling Han looked coldly at Ye Wenbin, and after a long while, he finally said, “Think carefully before you speak. Am I right or wrong?”
“Are you threatening me?” Ye Wenbin shouted angrily.
Ling Han smiled calmly, “Whatever you think.”
“Humph, a mistake is a mistake. Even if you have a powerful background, we will not bend the rules for personal gain,” Song Tao slammed a hand on the table, and shouted loudly.
Ling Han looked at Ye Wenbin, Song Tao and Deng Yingwei, and asked, “You all think so?”
“What is the meaning of this? Are you going to threaten the three of us together?” Song Tao shouted loudly.
A smile appeared on Ling Han’s face, “Don’t regret it.”
“Ling Han, are you a sore loser?” Tan Bing interrupted.
“All right.” Ling Han nodded, turned and left, “Since none of you will regret it, just wait and see.”
Ye Wenbin and the others all looked coldly at Ling Han. They naturally would not be concerned about the threat of a minor character.
At first, Ling Han had not planned to take the alchemy disciple test. He was aiming to be certified as an alchemist, so he naturally would not take the t.i.tle of an alchemy disciple to heart. However, being bullied like this, he could not swallow this anger.
So I am an easy target to bully?
Ling Han walked out of his room and arrived at the main hall. He asked others about the details of the alchemist test.
The test for alchemists was simple. They only needed to concoct alchemical pills on the spot.
However, Celestial pills needed Celestial medicines. If they failed, the price would be huge. If one did not have full confidence, who would come here to burn money?
Thus, the majority would start from Alchemy Apprentice.
—After becoming an Alchemy Apprentice, there would be a chance every year to obtain the ingredients for free, and take the alchemist test.
Looks like this sum of money could not be saved.
Ling Han walked around and bought three sets of ingredients. These were the three supplementary ingredients for concocting the Cold Resistance Pill, and they were what he lacked.
Thankfully, the Cold Resistance Pill was Foundation Building Tier-level in the first place. The main ingredients had to be Celestial medicine, but supplementary ingredients didn’t need to be so precious. Mortal-level was adequate.
Thus, Ling Han used jade seeds to purchase the three supplementary ingredients. Anyways, he wouldn’t have Dao Stones to pay for them.
He found an alchemy apprentice, and requested to take the alchemist test.
It wasn’t long before three alchemists arrived as witnesses.
“What pill will you concoct?” an alchemist asked.
“Cold Resistance Pill.”
“En, a One Star Celestial pill, which conforms to the rules.” The second alchemist nodded, “Little Zhang, record it down.”
“Understood,” an alchemy apprentice hurriedly replied, writing furiously.
“You, begin,” the first alchemist, Alchemist Ma, said to Ling Han.
There were many alchemy chambers in the Alchemy Alliance, and there were various kinds of formations set up to correspond to alchemical pills of different attributes.
Ling Han chose an alchemy chamber, and began concocting.
He didn’t need the help of alchemy apprentices. He would grind the ingredients into dust on the spot, and then toss the medicinal ingredients into the formation one after another. The amount was controlled very precisely.
Seeing Ling Han’s proficient movements, the three alchemists all smiled.
This was not a person who had come to waste their time. Furthermore, there was something unique about Ling Han’s technique, which caused them to have an idea that they could learn from, and benefit greatly from it.
The Celestial level alchemical pill took a longer time to concoct, and in such a long period of time, one would have to concentrate, and there could not be the slightest bit of break. Otherwise, no matter which step they took wrongly, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
This required the support of a powerful Spiritual Power. Thus, it was absolutely impossible for mortals to concoct Celestial pills. Their Spiritual Power was not enough at all.
The concoction time of this Cold Resistance Pill was about three hours. At first, no one paid attention, but after an hour, when they found out that Ling Han was still concocting, it instantly attracted a considerable number of people to go and watch.
And after two hours, more and more people came here. The majority were alchemy apprentices. They did not need to observe the concoction of high grade alchemical pills. Instead, it was the lowest grade Celestial pill concoction that was most beneficial to them.
“Song Tao, Deng Yingwei, what are you guys still doing here? There’s someone here to take the alchemist test, and he’s about to succeed.”
Song Tao and the others were talking to Tan Bing and the others. These newly advanced alchemy disciples were naturally worth celebrating, but a person suddenly stuck his head in and said to them.
“Yi, then we should go and take a look.” Song Tao hurriedly nodded.
“Quick, quick, quick.” Ye Wenbin hurriedly followed him out. “It takes a few years for an alchemy apprentice to be promoted to alchemist. Taking this step is really difficult. Observing an alchemy apprentice successfully advance to become an alchemist is not only very enlightening for us, but is also a great encouragement.”
“May I know which High Level Apprentice it is?” Deng Yingwei also said, “Could it be Gu Ming? Or Zhong Luo?”
“Neither. A person that I have never seen before, and is not an alchemy disciple either, has directly begun the alchemist examination,” the alchemy disciple that had come to call others said.
“It’s that powerful?”
They all ran out to take a look, and even Tan Bing and the others were no exception.
When they arrived outside the alchemy chamber, they could see that there was already a large crowd of people here. They could not squeeze to the front to look at the observation window at all.
—Of course, one could not be disturbed when concocting alchemical pills. Thus, aside from Ling Han, there were only three alchemists who were bearing witness and one alchemist apprentice who was keeping records. The others could only watch from the outside.
“I can’t see anything,” Deng Yingwei complained.
“That’s right. There’s people all around.” Song Tao nodded as well.
They wanted to squeeze forward, but the people in front of them could not possibly give way, so they could only call out helplessly. They wanted to leave, but they were unwilling to do so, and very much wanted to see this person who was presently undergoing the test.
If they knew that the person inside was Ling Han, they would probably want to turn around and run as far as they could.
Three hours later, Ling Han was done.
He stretched out a hand to grab it, and three alchemical pills that were spinning around appeared in his hand. They were all as red as fire.
“Please appraise.” Ling Han spread out his hands.
The three alchemists who were bearing witness all stepped forward to appraise.
“The three completed pills are all High Grade.”
“Three completed pills, two High Grade ones, and one is close to High Grade.”
“The three completed pills are all High Grade.”
The three alchemists called out respectively, while the alchemy apprentice wrote down the evaluation of the three alchemists.
“With our unanimous conclusion, pa.s.sed!”
