Chapter 38: Alchemists Test (3)

It's been five hours and the alchemists test is finally finished, well the written portion anyways. Now I'm currently being guided to the practical portion. It took one hour to finish the test and the next few hours for the examiners to check everything.

Now a normal man may think that's insane but we're cultivators, we are far from what's average back in my old universe. What's average is a person being to able to obliterate a tiger at the age of fifteen. If a person ever finds out my current cultivation I'd be seen as a monster.

Anyway I and six others finally made it the practial. In front of us stood a man in fancy white and black robes and he had golden badge with word Head etched on it. I could only guess by the other guys reactions of look of shock is this guy in front of is the head elder.

"I congratulate you seven on passing the first test, my name is Kuan Fa, but you call me Head Elder Fa or Elder Fa. For this test you'll be making one beginner pill of your choosing please take one of the cauldron and make your pill." Said the elder as he waved his hand to seven cauldrons on the table we each choose one and went our separate ways towards the number of beginner ingredients and chose what we needed.

Two of the guys looked a bit nervous, I could only guess they weren't really good at making pills. The other threw looked relatively okay and the other guy he looked really confident. I can tell by the smug look on his face.

And if your wondering why we're not making any elixers is due to them being fairly easier to make.

Soon we all begun making our pills the other four decided to make a question restoration pill, and the other guy is making martial cleansing pill, a low grade pill that cleanse impurities. While the confident guy is making a Calming Summer Pill, it helps deal with cold environments, when travelling.

Me I'm making a pretty hard grade one pill called Martial Strengthening pill, there are stronger variants but they require better ingredient, normally cultivators just, can pop multiple of these in and it can have the same effect, though it isn't recommended. These pill are only good for foundation level and some of the lower level martial disciple experts.

Anyway while cultivating one of the nervous guys made a mistake and turned all his ingredients to ashes along with two others leaving only four of us, soon one by one we finished making our pills and now it was time for the Head Elder to check them.

I honestly tried my best making it as low grade as possible, hope he doesn't freak out.

"Congratulations on those of you who've successfully made your pills however, I must check them to see if your eligible." Stepping up the confident guy walks up and cuffed his fist And bows then he addressed the elder.

"May I go first Head Elder?" He said with his cocky smirk ever present on his face. "You may." He calmly said, the guy then hands him the pill and the cocky guy smiles.

"Hmm! This is pill is rather good for one star pill you pass, next." Said Kuan Fa, the confident guy smiles turned even wider.

The next two went up failed, one due to their pill containing way too many impurities. That can happen when a pill isn't correctly made. Those guys rushed and failed.

"Now it's your turn youngster." Said the imposing man as I handed in my pill. As I handed in my pill the man eyes widened, then he went to check again. "This youngster! What mixing techniques did you use, I clearly saw that you used the correct ingredients and the usual basic mixing technique! How is this pill a Star grade two?!"

Hearing this the other examinees and alchemist who came to watch this part of the test were left stunned at the Head elders words. They couldn't believe it a fifteen year old kid managed to beat them at something they've taken years of practice!

"Well it's simple elder qi control." I reply confusing everyone in the room to be confused.
