After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Gu Wenxuan looked at Guan Yueyue with a smile and said teasingly, "Teacher Guan, what do you think? I told you long ago that this disciple you took in wasn't very good!"

Guan Yueyue frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but instead sighed.

Although I don't know why, we did lose the assessment.

Seeing this, Gu Wenxuan became even more arrogant, turned to Qin Chuan and sneered, "It's all because of you that your Instructor Guan is going to lose the Cloud Ship to me!"

As he spoke, he reached out to Guan Yueyue, about to take the cloud boat.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said, "Wait!"

"What? You want to stand up for your mentor Guan?" Gu Wenxuan smiled knowingly.

The commotion they made attracted the attention of everyone around them.

Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between Gu Wenxuan and Qin Chuan, eager to watch the spectacle.

Looking at Gu Wenxuan, Qin Chuan said calmly, "The bet you made with Instructor Guan was probably about whether I could pass the assessment!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenxuan nodded and smiled, "So what if it is? The result is already clear, what else do you have to say?"

"That's good!"

As Qin Chuan spoke, he turned to Elder Chi Yu, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Elder Chi, I remember you said before that in addition to the three-stage assessment, there should be an additional assessment, right?"

“That’s right!” Chi Yu nodded, then suddenly realized, “You want to participate in the additional assessment?”

Qin Chuan said calmly, "Yes! I need to be tested on my alchemy skills!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Gu Wenxuan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; he had momentarily forgotten about the additional assessment.

There are so few people who know how to refine weapons and make medicine that I forgot about it for a moment.

At this moment, Qin Chuan asked, "May I ask Elder Chi, how should this alchemy be graded?"

Chi Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "First-grade pills get two points, second-grade pills get four points, third-grade pills get six points..."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Elder Chi's words, Qin Chuan's lips curled slightly, and he clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Elder Chi, may we begin the assessment now?"

Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately took out his alchemy furnace and began refining medicine.

As Chi Yu spoke, he looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Those who know how to refine weapons or medicine can begin now. The time limit is one hour. As for everyone else who is not involved, please step back!"

After he finished speaking, everyone stepped back. Apart from Qin Chuan, only three people remained in the room, which showed how few people knew how to refine weapons and medicine.

Looking at Qin Chuan who was refining medicine, a hint of panic flashed in Gu Wenxuan's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and muttered to himself, "I don't believe you can really refine medicine of grade three or above!"

"Ignite the alchemical fire!"

In the arena, Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed as he began refining medicine, choosing not to use fire.

Refining this kind of pill doesn't require a fire source, and besides, there are many people around here, so if someone recognizes it, it will only cause more trouble.

Following the instructions in the prescription, Qin Chuan slowly dropped the medicinal herbs one by one into the alchemy furnace, carefully controlling the heat.

Many people on the mountaintop didn't know how to make medicine, so they could only wait quietly.

Besides Qin Chuan, the other two are alchemists and weapon forgers, respectively.

"to make!"

A moment later, the disciple who was also refining the medicine gave a low shout and finished refining the medicine.

Immediately, he handed a reddish-brown pill to Elder Chi Yu.

After carefully examining the pill in his hand, Chi Yu announced, "A second-grade pill, the Spirit Recovery Pill, adds four points! Total score of eighteen points, you pass the test!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple's face lit up with excitement. He only had fourteen points in the three tests, and with these four points, he would just reach the passing score!

This is because there are too few people who can refine medicine and craft weapons, so the assessment scores have been relaxed.

After a while, the young man who was refining the weapon also finished refining it and handed the uneven longsword in his hand to Elder Chi Yu.

Looking at the longsword in his hand, Chi Yu's lips twitched. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "A high-grade mortal weapon, add two points! Total score seventeen points, fail the assessment!"

"Just a little short..." Hearing Chi Yu's words, the disciple's expression changed, and he finally sighed. He only had fifteen points; even with these two more, it still wouldn't be enough.

As the two finished their assessments, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Chuan, awaiting his result.

Staring intently at Qin Chuan, Gu Wenxuan's eyes flashed with coldness. He didn't believe that the other party could refine a pill that would pass the test.

"Congeal!"

After a while, Qin Chuan gave a low shout, and a bright green pill appeared in his hand.

"Elder Chi!" Qin Chuan walked up to Elder Chi Yu and handed him the pill.

After receiving the pill, Chi Yu held it to his nose and smelled it. After examining it for a moment, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Chi Yu looked at Qin Chuan and smiled, "The quality of this pill is really good. I didn't expect you to be so good at alchemy. I hope you can make some pills for me in the sect in the future."

Qin Chuan smiled, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Elder Chi, if you need anything, you can always tell me. As long as I can refine it, I will definitely not refuse!"

broken!

Upon hearing Chi Yu and Qin Chuan's conversation, Gu Wenxuan's expression changed, and he had a bad feeling.

At this moment, Chi Yu looked at Qin Chuan and announced, "Third-grade pill, add six points, total score of nineteen points, the test is passed!"

Upon hearing that Qin Chuan had passed the test, Gu Wenxuan's face turned extremely ugly. He clenched his fists tightly, unable to believe that things had turned out this way!

"Professor Gu, isn't it time for you to keep your promise?"

At this moment, Guan Yueyue smiled and placed her fair palm in front of Gu Wenxuan.

Seeing this, Gu Wenxuan's lips twitched, and he felt extremely pained. He thought he was sure to win, which was why he dared to place such a big bet. He never expected that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

Guan Yueyue's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What? Is the dignified Instructor Gu trying to back out?"

"Hmph! Don't be too smug, you just wait!" Gu Wenxuan snorted coldly, placed a short sword in Guan Yueyue's hand, and then turned and left.

Watching Gu Wenxuan's departing figure, Guan Yueyue's lips curled slightly. She looked at Qin Chuan not far away and whispered, "Just how many secrets do you still have..."

At this moment, Chi Yu's gaze swept over everyone present, and he said loudly, "Those who did not pass the test will be led away by disciples in a moment. As for the other disciples who passed, come with me!"

With that, he waved his hand, and all the disciples who had passed the test followed him forward.

Just as Qin Chuan was about to follow, Guan Yueyue had already arrived beside him.

"You've passed the test, so you can come with me now. There's nothing more to say about someone like Gu Wenxuan."

Hearing Guan Yueyue's words, Qin Chuan nodded and followed her away from the place.
