Seeing that the old man was very unhappy with his tone, Liu Rushuang interrupted, "Everyone, stop talking. The assessment is important. Besides, it's not just your granddaughter who's taking the advanced alchemist certification exam today."

"Oh, who else?"

Upon hearing this, the old man kept looking at all the alchemists participating in the assessment in the examination room, trying to find the person Liu Rushuang had mentioned.

To his disappointment, he couldn't identify who it was. He knew almost all the alchemists present, and he immediately ruled out the inexperienced Ji Daoyi.

Liu Rushuang said calmly, "We'll find out during the assessment."

She then looked at the steward beside her, signaling that the assessment could begin.

After receiving a signal from Liu Rushuang, the steward looked at the other two alchemists. After receiving signals from the other alchemists, he gestured to the young genius from the Yao family and said, "Miss Yuyao, please!"

Once Yao Yuyao was ready, the steward announced, "The First-Grade High-Level Alchemist Assessment shall begin!"

As the manager announced, Ji Daoyi and Yao Yuyao began refining pills simultaneously. However, many alchemists present were focused on Yao Yuyao, and it was estimated that only Liu Rushuang on the platform and the receptionist in charge of him were watching Ji Daoyi refine pills.

"This Yao Yuyao is indeed a genius that the Yao family sees only once in a hundred years. At only twelve years old, she is already so mature and skilled in purifying spiritual herbs."

"Yes, I estimate that in a few years, she will reach the Danzong realm and be just like us."

"Otherwise, why do you think the minister personally took her as his apprentice? Isn't it because he values ​​her talent and wants her to represent our Daoshu City at the Youth Alchemy Exchange Conference held once every twenty years in the Southwest Region three years from now?"

"Yes, our branch hasn't achieved a good ranking in a long time. If we can't get a good ranking this time, we'll probably receive even fewer resources."

Old Yang and Old Gong watched Yao Yuyao refine pills intently, not to mention the other alchemists who came to participate in the assessment, they were even more unwilling to miss this good opportunity to observe pill refining.

Seeing that everyone else was focused on Yao Yuyao's alchemy and hadn't noticed Ji Daoyi, who was also refining pills in a corner, Liu Rushuang couldn't help but shake her head.

(What a bunch of blind fools! Ji Daoyi is not only younger, but his alchemy skills are far more refined, and he even has the demeanor of a grandmaster. It shouldn't be like this; why were the pills he refined before only of medium quality?)

Time passed by, minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was over.

"Such a rich aroma of elixir! Could it be that Miss Yuyao has successfully refined the elixir?!"

"The young genius of the Yao family truly lives up to his reputation; he has really broadened our horizons."

The four grandmasters on the platform also smelled the medicinal fragrance of the pills, but they would never assume that they were made by Yao Yuyao.

At this moment, based on the direction from which the medicinal fragrance emanated, Old Yang, Old Gong, and Old Man Yao noticed that there was a young boy refining pills in the far side of the examination room, and that he had already begun to condense the pill's outer layer and was finishing up.

"Who...who is this? He can refine pills so quickly. Although I didn't see his previous pill refining techniques, just by looking at the proficiency of his hand seals when condensing pills, I know that he must be a veteran of countless battles in pill refining."

"Is the person you mentioned who took the certification exam with my granddaughter the one you mentioned?" The old man suddenly remembered Liu Rushuang's words and asked her, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Ru Shuang, how could we not know!"

"That's right, you need to give us an explanation!"

Old Gong and Old Yang were caught off guard by this sudden situation; as the chief examiners, they had no idea.

"Didn't I just say that there are other people participating in the assessment besides Yao Yuyao? It's just that you two only have eyes for the Yao family's little genius! Here, this is his information registration form."

As Liu Rushuang spoke, she placed Ji Daoyi's information registration form in front of the three of them.

"Ji Daoyi!!"

Old Gong and Old Yang's pupils dilated in shock; neither of them had ever imagined that the young man was actually him.

The old man was equally shocked, because he saw that the age column was filled in as ten years old. Ten years old was two years younger than his granddaughter. His granddaughter was a genius that appeared once in a hundred years, so wasn't this boy a genius that appeared once in five hundred years?

Seeing the different surprised expressions on the three faces, Liu Rushuang was overjoyed, feeling even happier than if she had eaten honey.

While the others were still in shock, Ji Daoyi had already completed the refining of the Meridian Opening Pill.

The receptionist was amazed at how quickly, smoothly, and decisively Ji Daoyi collected the elixir.

She knew that today she was witnessing the certification test of an alchemy genius, even more monstrous than the young genius of the Yao family.

Ji Daoyi's expression remained calm; he showed no excitement at the successful alchemy and the impending certification as a high-level alchemist.

After Ji Daoyi finished, Yao Yuyao began to prepare to condense the pill armor. She looked quite exhausted, obviously because she had consumed too much of her own energy during the pill refining process.

Then they saw Yao Yuyao take out a Rejuvenation Pill and quickly swallow it. With the help of the Rejuvenation Pill, her complexion improved a lot.

Ten minutes later, Yao Yuyao finally finished refining the pill.

When she finished refining the elixir, the crowd erupted in cheers, as if they were the ones who had succeeded.

Subsequently, Ji Daoyi and Yao Yuyao's pills were brought to the platform. The first pills examined by the three Pill Masters of the Pill Hall were the Meridian Opening Pills refined by Ji Daoyi.

Six pills,

Medium quality.

After seeing the results, Liu Rushuang gave Ji Daoyi a deep look, guessing that he was hiding his alchemy skills.

(So ​​it was just as I thought? Three attempts at alchemy, and each time six pills were produced, all of medium quality. You can precisely control the quantity and quality of the pills each time you refine them. Just how high has your alchemy skill reached?)

Liu Rushuang knew that she couldn't control the quantity and quality of pills as precisely as Ji Daoyi.

After seeing the quality of the pills, Lao Gong and Lao Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief, because such a result was only average among high-level alchemists.

Old Man Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the alchemist were younger, faster at refining pills, and had better results, it would have truly embarrassed the Yao family.

Finally, they poured Yao Yuyao's Meridian Opening Pill out of the jade bottle for inspection.

Six pills,

Two are of high quality, and four are of medium quality.

Old Gong and Old Yang congratulated the old man repeatedly, and the old man's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. He was very satisfied with his granddaughter's alchemy results.

Everything is settled.

Old Gong stood up and announced the list of those who passed the assessment. Finally, he distributed alchemist level badges to all the certified alchemists.

The color of a pill refiner's badge is red, and the number of stars on the badge represents the three different levels of pill refiners. For example, Ji Daoyi, a high-level pill refiner, has three stars.
