Ling Han continued his path of alchemy.
His talent in alchemy was truly astonishing, and added with the fact that he had this kind of Source Power of Wood like the Reincarnation Tree, he could have a few hundred tis more ti for appreciation as compared to others.
A re five months had passed, and he had already reached Second Refinent.
“The quality of this Second Refinent of mine should be good enough.” Ling Han looked at the Celestial pill that he had just concocted in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.
Two golden lines, one deeper and the other lighter, possessing an imposing air that could not be described.
As his abilities in alchemy advanced into the level of a Two-Star Alchemist and Second Refinent, his skill in First Refinent also greatly improved. Though he still could not compare to Alchemist Zi Cheng, the gap between them would not be astonishingly huge.
It should be known that Grandmaster Zi Cheng was a Four-Star Alchemist as well as in Seventh Refinent!
This had to be credited to the effort that Ling Han had made in his First Refinent as he had strengthened his foundations to an incredibly sturdy extent, and also because he possessed his own thod of Spirit Refinent that had leapt out of Alchemist Zi Cheng’s circle.
...From the very beginning, Alchemist Zi Cheng would only explain the basic principles of Spirit Refinent to Ling Han, and not the detailed thod. He had had the latter ponder it himself. Though this had caused Ling Han to spend a very long ti on the First Refinent, it was completely worth it.
Ling Han broke into a smile, slightly proud of himself.
“However, the Second Refinent is already so difficult, so the Ninth Refinent... would be unimaginably hard!”
Though he had reached Second Refinent so quickly, the further you went, the harder Spirit Refinent would be. Hence, Third Refinent and Fourth Refinent was the limit for most alchemists. Only those who had attained Fifth Refinent would be called grandmasters.
Ling Han went into seclusion again to fully stabilize his capacity at Second Refinent.
And at the sa ti, the agreed ti of three years that Alchemist Zi Cheng had spoken of was also getting nearer and nearer. All the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were all rolling up their sleeves, eagerly waiting for this day to co.
Initially, Lu Xianming had the highest chance because his natural talent in alchemy was indeed slightly superior to the rest’s. However, he had the sa weakness as Ling Han, and that was that his ti for growth was not long enough.
If he was given another one or two hundred million years of ti, then Lu Xianming would be able to gain enough of an advantage, but in a re three years, he could not draw a clear distance between himself and the other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.
Thus, it was not just Lu Xianming that was holding his breath this ti. It was the sa for the others.
Who would erge as the final victor was still uncertain.
On this day, Ling Han was still concocting alchemical pills, but he was interrupted. As it turned out, the ti had arrived. The 10 Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had all been summoned to the Alchemist Pavilion to undergo the final selection for the heir.
Perhaps there would be no more Holy Sons and Holy Daughters in Alchemy City after today, only the future chairperson.
Ling Han exited alone. Though he was living in the Alchemist Pavilion, the Alchemist Pavilion itself was very, very colossal. He had still walked a very far distance before he finally arrived at Qingyang Pavilion.
This was where Alchemy City would discuss major events.
The 10 Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were all standing in the hall, waiting for what could possibly be the most important turn of fate of their lives.
At this ti, even the most subtle among them looked excited. This step could possibly head to heaven, but also could possibly lead to hell.
Ex-Holy Sons and ex-Holy Daughters were not important.
Yet Ling Han was extrely calm. Firstly, he had enough confidence, and secondly, even if he could not beco the chairperson of Alchemy City, he would not be too concerned, either, because what he needed was just strength in both alchemy and cultivation.
If he could beco the chairperson of Alchemy City, the benefit was that it would be able to provide him with more cultivation resources, but it was just that.
Alchemist Zi Cheng saw this, and involuntarily smiled. This disciple of his really had the bearing of a general. Just look, others were almost killed by their anxiety, and only he was as steady as a mountain. With this comparison, Ling Han imdiately stood out.
In the hall, alchemists were gathered, but Alchemist Chu Ye and Alchemist Heavenly Heart, the two Four-Star Alchemists, were absent. With their personalities, they would not be concerned about who would beco the chairperson of Alchemy City. It was fine as long as he did not squander the wealth of his ancestors to nothing.
And precisely because of this, they had supported Alchemist Zi Cheng’s move to banish Lu Jin.
...Who asked you to collude with outsiders? Competition was fine, but betrayal was definitely not permitted!
There were many Three-Star Alchemists, and they sat down in rows all around the hall. As for Two-Star Alchemists and One-Star Alchemists, they did not qualify to sit down, and could only stand. Their numbers were naturally even higher. As far as the eye could see, there were people all around.
Alchemist Zi Cheng calmly announced, “Today is the day to select the future chairperson of Alchemy City, and among the 10 of you... one person will bear the heavy responsibility of leading our city in future. However, others cannot slack off, either. You all are also the pillars of support for our city, and the city will ultimately have to depend on you in the future.”
“Yes, Lord Chairperson!” The 10 Holy Sons and Holy Daughters all obeyed solemnly.
“The rules are very simple. You have to concoct a Two-Star alchemical pill, at least with Second Refinent. A Three-Star alchemical pill or a Spirit Refinent higher than Second Refinent will get additional marks. The concoction of the alchemical pill and quality of Spirit Refinent will also affect the final mark. Additionally, if the cultivation ti in alchemy is extrely short, there will also be additional marks awarded.”
These final words were clearly prepared for Ling Han. Though Lu Xianming, too, had not imrsed himself for a very long ti in alchemy, and could also get additional marks, he definitely was far from being compared to Ling Han.
Alchemist Zi Cheng glanced at the 10 people, and then waved his hand. “Begin.”
He already knew Ling Han’s abilities in alchemy, and thus was not bothered to set a few stages to make his decision. He might as well directly select his heir.
Ling Han and the others entered into an alchemy chamber respectively. They were not restricted to concocting a specific alchemical pill, and were also allowed to fail, but the total ti given was only slightly more than three months—added with ti acceleration, it was only one day’s ti in real ti.
The results would be clear a day later.
Ling Han was not concerned with how the others would do. He was just like how he usually was, beginning his concoction step by step.
In another alchemy chamber, Lu Xianming was filled with confidence.
In a re three years’ ti, even if the Ti Cultivation Chamber was taken into account, it was only 300 years. He did not believe that others could gain any massive improvent in this ti, but he was different.
In terms of strength in alchemy, he was not much inferior to the other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters in the first place, but if his cultivation ti was taken into account as well, the additional credit would be enough to compensate for his shortcoming in alchemy.
Most importantly, he had also obtained a piece of Scarce Earth Essence.
If it was used during Spirit Refinent, it could greatly increase the quality of Spirit Refinent!
Similarly conducting Second Refinent, if the final alchemical pill had the sa number of stars, and the Spirit Refinent grade was also the sa, then his advantage of being “young” would be reflected.
The choice was based on potential in alchemist, and not absolute strength. Otherwise, what Three-Star Alchemist here was not stronger than them?
Another who was also filled with confidence like Lu Xianming was Qin Guyu.
Though she did not have Scarce Earth Essence, she was a Dividing Soul Tier, and the rarest trait of hers was that when she advanced into Yang Soul Tier, the divided soul that she had gotten possessed attributes of both Water and Wood. This was extrely rare.
If she was purely only a cultivator, then getting this divided soul ant that she was a weakling in battle, but for an alchemist, this was a precious treasure!
This was her trump card. It had never been known by others, and that even included her master.
Possessing this kind of divided soul, she had an affinity with the essence of plants, and for alchemy, this kind of effect was incredibly amazing.
Thus, she had the confidence that she could concoct a supre Celestial pill.
...The effect of Spirit Refinent was also to increase the grade of the alchemical pill. If she could concoct the alchemical pill to a supre grade right at the very first step, then even if the effects of her Spirit Refinent were slightly weaker, she would still be able to erge as champion.
