Dawu Kingdom.
Bai Tao City, Chixiao College.
In the academy, at the competition venue of the Medicine Hall.
A group of freshmen are refining medicine on the competition ground.
Today is the annual college test of Chixiao College.
They are all new disciples who enrolled a year ago. Only by passing the new college examination can they be qualified to stay and continue practicing.
In addition to a few elders at the invigilation table, there were a lot of old students from the medicine hall around them. They came here to see if there were any monsters among this year's freshmen.
"Looking at the situation, this year's juniors and juniors are very good at refining medicine."
"Look at the little guy in black clothes on the outermost circle. Although the quality of the elixir he concocted is not high, his technique is very stable and there are no mistakes in the steps. He should be able to pass today's new test."
"It's indeed good. After the college's new examination is over, Elder Peng and the others should consider this little guy."
"That junior sister in the purple skirt is a pity..."
"It is indeed a pity... Judging from most of the medicinal materials she chose, she should be trying to refine the Green Flame Pill. But there is a thunder spark in the medicine that conflicts with the properties of the Green Flame Pill. I'm afraid this Green Flame Pill is hard to make. It’s finished.”
"No, I mean she is beautiful, so it's a pity that she can't be my junior sister."
"..."
In the competition arena, everyone was concentrating on refining the elixir.
But there was one person who always seemed out of place.
In the corner, Lu Lan was lying on the alchemy table, sleeping soundly in the sunshine.
The sun shines on his angular, delicate and white face.
He fell into a deep sleep, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, the whole audience burst into exclamations.
"Look! Someone is going to create a cauldron and become an elixir!"
This exclamation sounded, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on it.
I saw a young man wearing a jade-white robe looking at the alchemy cauldron in front of him with a smile.
The elders at the invigilator's seat also focused their attention on him.
"It turns out to be Wu Peng. This boy seems to be refining a first-grade high-grade Yijin Dan." An elder said with a smile while stroking his beard.
The elixirs are divided into levels one to nine from low to high.
Each level is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. It is necessary to outline the red pattern to divide the grade.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine.
"Wu Peng? I remember that he is the son of the second head of the Wu family. When he first entered school, I remember that the aptitude stone judged that his talent for refining medicine was very good, second only to that Lu Lan. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true!"
"Huh, Lu Lan? This kid has been sleeping in my lecture hall every day since he was admitted to the hospital! All his talent in refining medicine has been wasted by himself. He is so stupid! He is not worthy of being compared with Wu Peng!"
"At this moment, he is still sleeping on the medicine refining table. It is clear that he does not take the academy's new test as a top priority!"
"Hmph, don't worry about him. He is destined to fail the new test anyway. Even if he has another chance next year, the outcome will still be the same."
At this time, Wu Peng's Yijin Pill was almost ready.
Whether it was the elders at the invigilation table or the old students from the medicine hall around the examination room, everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Peng.
At a certain moment, a low shout suddenly sounded in the competition venue.
"The cauldron is opened! The elixir is completed!"
Wu Peng stretched out his hands, and the lid of the alchemy cauldron in front of him suddenly flew up, and a jade-white elixir slowly flew out.
As wisps of fragrance gradually spread, the elixir slowly fell into Wu Peng's hands.
He looked at the three lines on the Yijin Pill, and the ecstasy in his eyes almost couldn't be contained.
Fortunately, he finally restrained himself, turned around, cupped his fists towards Peng Gu and other elders and said:
"Dear elders, this disciple has completed the academy's new test and successfully refined the first-level top-grade Yijin Dan within the specified time!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples who were refining the medicine couldn't help but look at him one more time.
First-class top grade!
This is a level of elixir that they have no chance of refining!
The old students of the medicine hall present also looked shocked and exclaimed.
After only one year in the hospital, he was able to refine a first-class, high-grade elixir. This talent already surpassed most of the old students in the medicine hall among them!
"Elders please take a look."
Wu Peng walked to the invigilator's seat and handed the elixir to the elders at the invigilator's seat with both hands.
Several elders passed the Yi Jin Dan to each other and looked at it for a few times, with unstoppable smiles on their faces and constant praise in their mouths.
"Haha, Wu Peng, your current medicine refining skills can be said to be 'perfect'. Not only have you successfully refined the first-level top-grade Yijin Dan, but you are also the first among all the medicine hall disciples to complete the medicine refining. ...I believe that this time the medicine hall’s new test is number one, and it must be you!”
An old man in a dark robe stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I hope you can maintain this mentality, not be arrogant, and strive to refine better and higher-grade elixirs! In the future, you will become a great figure in the entire Great Martial Kingdom. Famous alchemist!"
"If possible, I will accept you as my disciple and personally guide you on how to refine better elixirs."
Several other elders also nodded and smiled, and agreed.
Hearing this, Wu Peng was even more overjoyed, clasped his fists and lowered his head, saying respectfully:
"Thank you, elder. Wu Peng will definitely work harder in the future! Try to meet the expectations of all the elders!"
He glanced at Lu Lan, who was still sleeping soundly in the corner, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
When he first entered the medicine hall to evaluate his qualifications and talents, he was supposed to be the most dazzling new star, stealing all the limelight.
As a result, Lu Lan, who was more talented than him, appeared and stole all his limelight!
From that time on, he had always held a grudge against Lu Lan and wanted to suppress Lu Lan.
Now, his reputation in the medicine hall has already surpassed that of Lu Lan.
And in this new test, he will undoubtedly win the first place in the new test and completely wash away the shame of the past!
Suddenly, Wu Peng said respectfully:
"Disciple, I'm brave and want to make a small suggestion."
"But it doesn't matter." The old man in black robe said with a smile.
He already regarded Wu Peng as his new future disciple, and he would naturally agree to whatever he said.
"This competition is a test for all freshmen. It is an opportunity for us freshmen to test and show themselves. It is also a major event related to the future of the college."
"However, some people actually ignored the hospital rules and openly fell asleep on the alchemy table!"
"If your talent is weak, you can still work hard to make up for it. But such a gesture is an insult to the school's style!"
Wu Peng clasped his fists and lowered his head, the cold luster in his eyes flashed away: "Disciple Wu Peng, please elders to expel this person who has insulted the family tradition from the hospital!"
Wu Peng's words shocked all the elders present.
But soon, their eyes tacitly focused on Lu Lan, who was still sleeping soundly.
"Oh, Wu Peng is right. Those who insult the family tradition must be expelled from the academy!"
The old man in black robe snorted coldly: "Come here! Throw him out!"
After the words fell, two college deacons walked to both sides of Lu Lan's alchemy table.
They were about to take Lu Lan away, but Lu Lan woke up at this moment.
"Well~ I had a really comfortable sleep this time."
