Chapter 1475: Chapter 1475: Alchemy King_1 Chapter 1475: Chapter 1475: Alchemy King_1 The Alchemy King remained silent, and the entire Great Hall was shrouded in silence.
It seed as if everyone could sense a tinge of danger in the air.
This kind of dilemma, where retreat and advancent were equally fraught, was not a favorable situation for them.
“I might have an idea.” Just as everyone was feeling stumped, a nearby guard suddenly spoke up.
“What could a re guard possibly know? Is this even your place to speak?” an elder imdiately shouted angrily.
The guard’s body tensed, and he dared not utter another word.
At this mont, the Alchemy King waved his hand and said, “Let him speak. Perhaps he truly has a good suggestion.”
The elder wanted to say sothing else but was silenced by the Alchemy King’s gesture.
Subsequently, the Alchemy King looked at the guard, signaling him to continue.
The guard grinned and said, “Isn’t he here to participate in the assessnt? This is simple. Since you control the standards of the test, just give him an exceptionally difficult problem he can’t possibly solve.”
“This way, we can avoid offending Ethan Smith and also satisfy the Cloud Sect.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes instantly lit up.
The guard’s words had undoubtedly reminded them; this was indeed an excellent idea!
“Hmph, what kind of idea is that? When did guards get so talkative?”
However, contrary to the guard’s expectation of praise, he was instead berated on the spot.
“Get out of here quickly. Just focus on your job.” One of the elders waved his hand dismissively, sending the guard away.
After the guard walked off, the Alchemy King muttered under his breath, “I must admit, his suggestion is indeed feasible.”
“Agreed. Let’s proceed according to his plan. Tonight, we’ll carefully think of an exceedingly difficult question for him,” another elder said.
Thus, the Alchemy King sent a trusted aide to respond to Ethan Smith.
While waiting, Ethan saw the sa guard approaching and imdiately stood up to greet him.
“So, what’s the decision?” Ethan asked.
The guard opened his mouth, his face darkening as he replied, “I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve already told them. You just stay here and wait.”
After spitting out those words, he said nothing more.
Ethan couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “What crawled up his sleeve….”
Just as Ethan was perplexed, an elder descended from upstairs.
This elder appeared to be around eighty or ninety years old, practically a withered old man.
He walked toward Ethan with a beaming smile, clasping his hands in greeting. “You must be Mr. Ethan Smith, correct?”
Ethan raised an eyebrow. Apparently, they had now recognized him.
“That’s . I’m here to take the alchemist assessnt,” Ethan stated bluntly.
The elder replied with a smile, “Of course. We at dicinal Saint City warmly welco Mr. Smith. After so discussion, we’ve decided to schedule your assessnt three days from now. What do you think?”
“That’s too slow. I can’t wait that long. Hurry it up,” Ethan urged.
Hearing this, the elder froze for a mont, then sighed with a wry smile, “Let discuss it again and expedite the process for you. How about that?”
“Give a firm date,” Ethan said with a wave of his hand.
The elder thought for a mont and said, “Alright, co the day after tomorrow.”
“Fine, it’s settled then.” Without hesitation, Ethan stood up from his seat.
He dusted off his pants and walked away.
According to their arrangent, only two days remained.
Not wasting any ti, Ethan purchased a batch of herbs from dicinal Saint City and found a temporary lodging to stay in.
That sa night, Ethan pulled out his dicinal cauldron and began attempting to refine Nascent Soul Pills.
The first was to test his technique and regain so familiarity since it had been so long since he had last refined pills.
The second was to see how the disparity in these herbs might affect the quality of the pills.
That night, Ethan refined five Nascent Soul Pills but ruined two of them.
On the second day, Ethan refined eight Nascent Soul Pills and damaged only one.
By the evening, Ethan’s technique had essentially beco proficient again, and he now had almost twenty Nascent Soul Pills in hand.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Ethan looked at the fla dancing in the palm of his hand and couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
The next day arrived, the day of his agreed appointnt.
Without making any further preparations, Ethan headed straight to dicinal Saint City.
At the city’s gates, the elder from a few days ago had been waiting there early for Ethan’s arrival.
Upon seeing Ethan, the elder quickly walked over.
“Mr. Smith,” the elder greeted Ethan with a small bow of his hands.
Ethan nodded slightly and said, “Well then, can we start now?”
The elder smiled and said, “Of course. The examiner is upstairs waiting for you. Follow .”
Ethan grunted in acknowledgnt and followed behind him, stepping into the dicinal Saint Hall.
The mont he stepped inside, Ethan inhaled an incredibly potent dicinal aroma. The scent hit his nostrils directly, causing even his pores to open involuntarily.
“Indeed, this is the Holy Region,” Ethan murmured to himself.
It was the first ti since arriving in the Holy Region that Ethan had truly felt the disparity in resources.
Such an environnt couldn’t possibly exist on Earth.
*”If I had grown up in the Holy Region, my cultivation level could never have stagnated at the Nascent Soul Realm,”* Ethan thought to himself.
*Even in Earth’s barren conditions, he had reached such heights. The future path ahead was beyond imagination.*
