Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction Chapter 129 - 116 Pill Master Examination2

The elder in the center of the Pei family could only shake his head helplessly.

The other Pill Masters, seeing this, knew the inside story and covered their mouths to smirk.

Before long, about six new Pill Masters entered the hall under the guidance of attendants.

Lin Yuan was naturally among them.

"Reporting to the elders, there are four Pharmacists participating in the Pill Master promotion this ti. In addition, one lower-grade advancing to middle-grade Pill Master, and one directly participating in the middle-grade Pill Master assessnt," the attendant reported in a low voice.

But many Pill Masters were at the Condensing Qi level, with sharp ears and eyes, so they naturally heard it clearly.

Seven or eight Pill Masters scanned the Pill Masters participating in the assessnt one by one, nodding secretly.

"Why aren’t you coming over quickly to greet the seniors? Dumbfounded like a pig." Liu Ju, the most senior, scolded a round-faced middle-aged man with a sunken face.

"Junior Pan Ren, greets all the seniors." Pan Ren naturally understood his master’s intention to let him show his face in front of several Pill Masters to facilitate future relationships.

Liu Ju knew that his apprentice was very savvy and looked at ng Jian with satisfaction.

Before Pan Ren participated, he knew that his master and ng Jian were like fire and water, hence he took special care.

"Greetings, Senior ng." Pan Ren walked up to ng Jian and bowed formally.

"Hmph." ng Jian snorted coldly and nodded, acknowledging the greeting.

Pan Ren didn’t mind, considering it as giving his master so relief.

"It’s rare to see that old geezer this annoyed, heh heh. I’ll fan the flas a bit more," Liu Ju thought to himself and stepped forward.

"Hehe," Liu Ju chuckled and said, "Pill Master ng, I heard you recomnded an alchemy prodigy for the family. Why not introduce them to everyone?"

ng Jian was so angry his face twitched.

"A prodigy? Damn prodigy! If it weren’t for Hou Sixian’s sake, how could I co here to hear your nonsense?" ng Jian thought to himself, "No matter how you provoke , I mustn’t lower my stance today."

"Naturally," ng Jian walked to Lin Yuan’s side and smiled, "Lin Yuan, my young friend, is an alchemy prodigy rarely seen. He has been learning alchemy for about three years and has achieved results. He is comparable to Pan Ren."

ng Jian knew that Lin Yuan could perform alchemy, but he was uncertain of Lin Yuan’s level.

The person who vouched for him claid he was a middle-grade Alchemist; how could he believe that? It took him years of imrsion in pills to confidently produce middle-grade pills.

But in front of Liu Ju, he couldn’t appear weak.

"I am Lin Yuan, greetings to all seniors." Lin Yuan heard this and spoke with a hint of a smile.

"Is this the one directly participating in the middle-grade Pill Master assessnt?"

"So young, and already a middle-grade Pill Master?"

Everyone turned their heads, and even the elder in the center cast an attentive gaze.

"Hehe," Liu Ju said no more, just kept smiling at ng Jian.

"Lin, my young friend, perform well, don’t let down," ng Jian, already lacking confidence in Lin Yuan, reminded him in a deep voice.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

Returning to his seat, ng Jian was so angry at Liu Ju’s mocking expression that he only managed to say, "Let’s start the assessnt quickly."

The Pill Masters looked at Liu Ju, who also nodded.

The elder in the center finally signaled to begin.

The attendant stepped forward to announce the assessnt rules: "This assessnt consists of a total of three furnaces of pills."

"If you successfully concoct fifteen Five Qi Pills, you pass the lower-grade Pill Master assessnt. If you successfully concoct five middle-grade pills, you pass the middle-grade Pill Master assessnt."

"The concoction ti is not to exceed two hours."

After the attendant finished reading the rules, all the participants in the Pill Master assessnt nodded and were allocated to separate alchemy rooms.

Lin Yuan was in room number two. Seeing the herbs and the pill furnace on the table, he was secretly pleased.

"Since alchemy requires only fifteen pills, and they have to be middle-grade," Lin Yuan shook his head secretly, thinking it was a pity: "It seems I’ll have to waste two furnaces of pills, with only one furnace being of the highest grade."

Lin Yuan focused, purified himself, and started the alchemy process imdiately.

His technique was skilled, and he completed the preparations in an instant.

Lighting the fire and grinding the powder, he proceeded thodically.

anwhile, outside, the Pill Masters continued to monitor their alchemy through a window about a foot wide.

"This Lin Yuan, starting the fire and pill concoction so quickly?" A few Pill Masters peered into Lin Yuan’s room, unable to resist shaking their heads.

"Is this Pill Master Lin a novice? Starting the fire for alchemy so soon while others haven’t even prepared to grind!"

"Heard he used connections. If he manages to produce one furnace, considering Pill Master ng’s reputation, we might reluctantly let him advance."

"We’ll see; otherwise, that’ll be it."

A few Pill Masters whispered, setting a plan in motion.

About one incense stick later.

The various Pill Masters gathered again at Lin Yuan’s room door, even though they could only see Lin Yuan’s back. Watching him rapidly throw various herbs into the furnace, they couldn’t help but frown.

"This Pill Master Lin’s technique has significant issues, too crude. How could these herbs be handled this way?"

"Yeah, mixing herbs with clashing properties directly, not worried about muddling the properties and losing control."

They whispered to each other, judging him.

About another half incense stick later, they still didn’t sll any dicinal fragrance.

"This furnace is wasted, no dicinal aroma, just burnt sll, let’s move on to others."

"Pill Master Pan Ren’s technique is mature, not much different from mine. He has learned Liu Pill Master’s essence; let’s observe and learn."

"Indeed, indeed, it’s the perfect ti to learn as it’s about to condense into a pill. Let’s go."

Others nodded and headed to Pan Ren’s room number one.

anwhile, Lin Yuan glanced at the supre Five Qi Pill in the pill furnace with a faint smile.

After sensing their departure, he took out the pills and swallowed them all.

Then he began to concoct the second furnace of pills.

About an hour later, Lin Yuan completed the production of both furnaces of pills.

He took out five pills, swallowed them, and placed the remaining pills in porcelain bottles.

One bottle of ten pills and another of five pills.

After taking the two bottles of pills, Lin Yuan pushed open the door and returned to the hall, placing the bottles on a tray engraved with his na.

After the attendant brought tea, he sat quietly on a wooden chair awaiting further developnts.

None of the other Pill Masters had finished their concoctions yet, and there was no one else in the hall except for the attendant.

Lin Yuan wasn’t in a hurry and continued to wait quietly.

Another hour passed, and Lin Yuan’s tea was refilled and even the tea leaves changed twice.

Even with his physical endurance, he felt his butt beco sore.

After waiting for another incense stick ti, finally so Pill Masters walked out one after another, placing pills on trays with their nas engraved.

At this mont, everyone gathered at door number one.

"This technique, exceptional. Able to form pills like this, Liu Pill Master is truly remarkable," one Pill Master exclaid after seeing Pan Ren’s Solidifying Pill technique.

Other Pill Masters opened their eyes wide, not wanting to miss any detail.

"Hehe. How could one belittle my technique!" Liu Ju’s face brightened, repeatedly stroking his beard in satisfaction at seeing the reactions.

Seeing this, ng Jian turned to look at the open door of Lin Yuan’s room, where he no longer was, and the previous evaluations made him even more infuriated.

Finally, ng Jian couldn’t bear Liu Ju’s smug expression any longer, flicked his sleeves, and strode off with his hands behind his back.

Before long, Pan Ren wiped the sweat from his forehead, having completed the concoction of three furnaces of pills.

"Master, I didn’t disgrace you!" Pan Ren opened the door and announced to Liu Ju loudly.

"Hahaha, excellent!" Liu Ju, seeing ng Jian hadn’t gone far, deliberately laughed loudly, "Congratulations, disciple, for advancing to middle-grade."

Seeing ng Jian stumble and almost fall, he laughed even more heartily, "I really got under that old geezer’s skin, so satisfying, hehe!"

Later, Liu Ju led the group, and all the Pill Masters returned to the hall.

Pan Ren entered, his face radiant, and placed three porcelain jars heavily on the tray.

At this ti, trays were filled with porcelain bottles in threes and fours, with so trays having only one bottle.

Lin Yuan’s two bottles, next to Pan Ren’s three, stood out vividly by comparison.

"This Lin Yuan is evidently a novice, not even managing twenty pills, yet claims to be a middle-grade Pill Master?" Liu Ju glanced smugly at ng Jian’s iron-black face, "Old ng, you’re getting your fill of setbacks today. Hahaha."

Before others could think further, the attendant stepped forward and announced, "Pill Masters, please evaluate!"
