Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

After the first person made a fool of themselves, the other students became much more open-minded, since no one could be more significant than Li Daniu.

These people provided Lu Yunshi and his group with a lot of amusement. In the blink of an eye, half of them had gone up, but none of them were selected.

Among those who were eliminated were even the sixth and seventh oldest.

There's no way around it; it's quite normal that the seventh brother, who's like a clown the moment he steps on stage, and the sixth brother, who's racking his brains to find out who has more money, aren't favored by others.

At least their test was just fighting a person, not eating shit, which is already pretty good.

Lu Yunshi felt a little regretful about this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He wasn't a particularly outstanding person, and he didn't have the idea that his brother had to become successful.

Moreover, not becoming an apprentice of someone else doesn't mean denying their future, so there's no need to have any particular feelings about it.

The sixth and seventh brothers had the same mentality; in any case, they weren't frustrated.

"Boss, how much do you think this can sell for?" Old Six asked curiously, looking at the recording stone that Lu Yunshi had been holding since the beginning.

"It's probably around a thousand yuan, but this business can be done for a long time, and the future income is immeasurable," Lu Yunshi replied.

That's right, this is a money-making idea that the two of them just came up with: record this conference, use some methods to turn it into funny footage, and sell it. They're sure to make a profit.

Cultivators are single-mindedly focused on cultivation, and most of them are quite depressed. They would certainly not refuse anything that could make them happy.

As for those who are used as a joke? Will they be etched into the pillar of shame?

What does that have to do with Lu Yunshi? Since he's already made a fool of himself, he might as well make some money.

At that moment, a sharp-eyed blue-haired boy slowly stepped into the center of the square.

"Spirit Gathering Realm!?" Upon sensing the aura emanating from the blue-haired youth, Lao Liu exclaimed in surprise. Was there such a person among the beginner students?

After thinking for a moment, Lao Qi quickly pieced together the man's identity from his memory.

"Lin San was previously in the late stage of Body Tempering and ranked twelfth in the assessment. He must have had some kind of opportunity recently, which led to his breakthrough. He's quite strong."

The host's eyes lit up suddenly; after waiting for so long, they had finally found a promising talent.

"This student, quickly introduce yourself to the teachers and then ask them questions."

Lin San curled his lips into a wicked smile. "My name is Lin San. My main purpose for this trip is to find an alchemist. If there is a teacher here who can teach me alchemy, that would be even better."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.

"Lin San, you said you want to find an alchemist to be your teacher, but do you know the requirements to become an alchemist?" the singing teacher asked solemnly.

"Of course I know, but I, Lin San, never do anything without certainty. If I couldn't become an alchemist, I certainly wouldn't say that." Lin San's gaze was stern, and his whole body exuded a formidable aura.

"This guy is such a show-off. I really want to slap my shoe on his face and see if he'll still pretend." Li Hongying frowned slightly, clearly disgusted by his pretense.

"Why did you reward him?" Lao Qi looked at Li Hongying with a surprised expression.

"..."

"So, you mean you're pretty sure you can become an alchemist?" the calligraphy teacher asked with interest.

"It's not just certain, it's already true." As Lin San spoke, the corners of his mouth curved upwards even more, making Lu Yunshi ponder for a while. Even when his own face twitched, he couldn't manage to achieve such a smile. How did Lin San manage to do it?

The students outside the square were in an uproar. Alchemists were rare to begin with, and this novice student from the foot of the mountain claiming to be an alchemist made them even more curious.

At this moment, Lin San waved his hand, and a black cauldron appeared in front of him. Then he suddenly shouted, and spiritual fire spewed from his hand, falling into the bottom of the black cauldron and immediately bursting into flames. With such skillful operation, everyone knew that this person might really have some skills.

"Gentlemen, watch closely, Lin San is about to make a fool of himself." Lin San revealed a wicked and arrogant smile, then sat down on the ground, with many spiritual herbs appearing beside him.

"Blood Essence Pill?" Lu Yunshi squinted at the spiritual herbs. Thanks to the extensive knowledge he had gained, he could roughly tell what kind of pill the other party wanted to refine just from these herbs.

"Blood Essence Pill? I remember it was a low-grade Yellow Rank pill, right? He's so young, is he really an alchemist?" Li Hongying's eyes widened in disbelief.

“If he can refine it, then of course it counts,” Lu Yunshi replied, his gaze fixed on the black cauldron, something about it seeming rather strange.

Logically, each student participating in the mutual selection process should only have a maximum of half an hour, but Lin San's performance made everyone present silently break the rules for him, giving him a full hour to refine the pill.

An hour later, as the black cauldron trembled slightly, everyone opened their eyes wide. Lin San had actually succeeded. He held the pills in his hand and then slowly opened them, revealing two round pills inside. Both their color and aroma indicated that these pills were of a good quality among Blood Essence Pills.

"I am not very talented, and at present I can only refine the simplest low-grade Yellow Rank pills. As for the middle-grade Yellow Rank pills, I cannot guarantee that I can succeed, so I will not embarrass myself in front of you teachers."

Lin San spoke with great confidence, conveying the message that he was confident he could refine a mid-grade Yellow Rank pill.

"It actually succeeded!"

"This is truly remarkable."

"At such a young age, with such talent, that's quite impressive."

"Come, come, why not become my disciple? Becoming an alchemist is a waste of your life."

"He has a talent for alchemy, but I wonder how good he is at painting..."

The teachers all started to say something, seemingly very interested in Lin San, when the host suddenly spoke up.

"It seems that Lin San has already demonstrated his abilities. I think there's no need to give him any further tests. Let's move directly to the final stage. Lin San, who would you like to choose?"

"I said I wanted to choose an alchemist..." Lin San suddenly looked at the cooking teacher who hadn't spoken before. "Teacher Cook, do you know alchemy?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a concise voice came from the light screen.

"meeting!"

Upon hearing this sound, the other nine teachers sighed in unison, as if they were regretting something.

Lin San smiled crookedly upon hearing this. "Indeed, I guessed right. Cooking and alchemy are similar in some ways. With a name like this, you, Teacher, are the most likely to be an alchemist. Naturally, I choose you. I believe I won't let you down."

"It seems that Lin San has made his choice. Now it is the teachers' turn to make their choices. If any teacher is willing to accept Lin San as their student, their respective light screens will flash in ten seconds. If not, everything will remain as usual."

The host sounded excited and began counting down the seconds.

Ten seconds later, the light screen finally gave the result.
