Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 105 Like a Fly

"Are you Mo Wangchen?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, because just now, Elder Chen had called out the name Mo Wangchen for position fifteen.

Could it be true?

Did he not make a mistake? This young man was truly here to participate in the third-grade examination?

The faces of the crowd were filled with disbelief!

"Oh?"

Even Elder Chen couldn’t help but look Mo Wangchen up and down. Although he had doubts about Mo’s age, he trusted the list, which the Alliance had confirmed countless times before handing it to him. He wouldn’t suspect any error.

"So young, yet already a second-grade Alchemist?"

"I’ve never heard of such a person before. Could it be real?"

"Originally, the youngest person in this region was Luo Tian, who, at only twenty-nine, had already become a second-grade Alchemist. There was a great hope that he would reach the third grade in this examination and thus refresh the record of the youngest third-grade Alchemist in Yun Country. But unexpectedly, this young Mo Wangchen..."

"Look, the expression on Luo Tian’s face doesn’t seem very pleasant."

"Naturally. He was supposed to be the one in the spotlight, but Mo Wangchen has taken it away. Luo Tian must be feeling a bit annoyed."

Next to Mo Wangchen, a young man nearly thirty years old focused his gaze on Mo, his eyes flickering with emotion.

This person was Luo Tian!

"Hmph!"

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Luo Tian snorted coldly, and a disdainful look appeared in his eyes. "Young people nowadays are too impatient. With a bit of achievement, they are eager to show off. Although you are already a second-grade Alchemist, attending the third-grade examination might be too soon."

In Luo Tian’s view, just reaching the level of a second-grade Alchemist at Mo Wangchen’s age was astonishing. He believed there was little chance that Mo could pass the third-grade examination.

"Oh?"

Hearing his words, Mo Wangchen merely smiled calmly, "Why do you say that?"

"Do you really think you can pass the examination?" Luo Tian sneered and continued, "I think you’re just here to show off in front of everyone."

"What a waste of the Alliance’s herbs..."

With that, Luo Tian glanced at Mo Wangchen’s position, where the Alliance had prepared herbs long before, some of which were high-level.

"That has nothing to do with you," Mo Wangchen chuckled lightly, unfazed by the other’s taunts.

However, the more he acted this way, the more Luo Tian grew displeased, "Hmph! Let’s see if you still dare to be so confident after you fail."

Soon the examination began.

Mo Wangchen took out the Pill Furnace that Wan Quan had crafted for him. The furnace was a dark color, adorned with complex patterns, clearly made by a master craftsman, and was likely of excellent quality itself!

Unexpectedly, Mo Wangchen possessed such a precious Pill Furnace, a glint of jealousy passed through Luo Tian’s eyes.

"Hmph! Without enough Alchemy Dao skills, a good Pill Furnace might not be of use," Luo Tian’s voice drifted into Mo Wangchen’s ears.

"Hmm?!"

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen frowned slightly. He was merely attending an ordinary examination, yet the opponent continued to sneer at him. Once or twice was fine, but continuous chatter was quite annoying.

"Can you stop buzzing like a fly?" Mo Wangchen turned his gaze, showing displeasure on his face.

"Elder Chen, this person keeps buzzing in my ear, disrupting my alchemy process. I believe his examination qualification should be revoked!" With that, Mo Wangchen shifted his gaze to Elder Chen.

"This..."

Elder Chen was stunned for a moment. Revoking the qualification wasn’t possible, but he did cast a glance at Luo Tian, "Do not disturb other participants!"

Under Elder Chen’s rebuke, Luo Tian’s face shifted, and though he fell silent, his gaze at Mo Wangchen grew more vicious, coldly thinking, "Once I pass the examination and become a third-grade Pill Master, let’s see how I deal with you!"

Within the Alchemist Alliance, a third-grade Alchemist had plenty of ways to deal with a second-grade one!

Once Luo Tian quieted down completely, Mo Wangchen ignored everything around him and began to put the first set of herbs into the Pill Furnace, starting the alchemy process.

The examination for a third-grade Alchemist required the creation of three different third-grade Pills to pass. Naturally, Mo Wangchen’s first was the Spirit Transformation Pill, which was simple for him.

Besides Mo Wangchen, both Lin Qing and Su Ye also started with the Spirit Transformation Pill, whereas others did not.

Because the Spirit Transformation Pill was relatively difficult to concoct among third-grade Pills, others naturally chose easier Pills to start with.

However, Lin Qing and Su Ye had previously received guidance from Mo Wangchen, so for them, concocting the Spirit Transformation Pill was as ordinary as cooking a home meal.

"Hmph, starting with the Spirit Transformation Pill is truly reckless!" Luo Tian sneered coldly. The recipe for the Spirit Transformation Pill had many variations, and the herbs weren’t necessarily identical. After Mo Wangchen had been concocting it for a while, familiar Pill Fragrance filled the room, allowing Luo Tian to guess that it was indeed the Spirit Transformation Pill Mo Wangchen was making.

To Luo Tian, choosing to make the Spirit Transformation Pill was a mistake, as even second-grade Alchemists with years of experience might not succeed.

Although Luo Tian himself aimed to create the Spirit Transformation Pill during this examination, it was planned for the end since he was only sixty to seventy percent sure he could succeed.

The more challenging the Pill, the more Perception it consumed. Starting with a difficult Pill meant there might not be enough Perception left for the other two simpler Pills.

This was why most people started with simpler Pills!

As the examination progressed, one hour passed.

In the third area, the first person had already succeeded in completing the first Pill.

"Luo Tian is indeed a genius, managing to produce the first Pill so quickly!"

"Look over there, Master Lin Qing is about to form a Pill too, but seems slightly slower than Luo Tian. It seems that Luo Tian’s skills aren’t much below Master Lin Qing’s..."

"Not necessarily. Luo Tian’s first Pill is a Lingyang Pill, which could temporarily boost a cultivator’s strength one level. It’s good, but not difficult to make, unlike Master Lin Qing’s..."

The people gathered here were Alchemy Dao practitioners from the Alliance, including first, second, and third-grade figures. They hadn’t participated because they felt unqualified to pass.

"Although Master Lin Qing hasn’t finished, the Pill Fragrance wafting from there suggests that what he’s making is a Spirit Transformation Pill!"

"The difficulty in making the Spirit Transformation Pill is several levels above the Lingyang Pill. I didn’t expect Master Lin Qing to start with this!"

"No wonder his forming time is later than Luo Tian’s. It looks like Master Lin Qing will finish soon, a Spirit Transformation Pill in two hours. Wow, no wonder he’s the master who discovered the Qi Gathering Pill!"

Someone exclaimed.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a gasp arose from the crowd, "That Mo Wangchen is about to form a Pill too. The Pill Fragrance..."

"It’s also the Spirit Transformation Pill!" Eyes glowed with interest as they turned toward him.
