1184 The Extremely Difficult Expert Alchemist Assessment

"He actually passed the intermediate alchemist assessment"

"They're really not on the same level. Whether it's Bai Shengzu, Jiang Lan'er, or Chu Yunfan, they're not on the same level."

"Where did such a terrifying guy come from?"

Many people were in an uproar. Bai Shengzu, who was watching from the side, was sweating profusely. At this moment, even the most arrogant person could see the difference between him and Chu Yunfan. It was like the difference between clouds and mud.

He was confident that he could catch up with Jiang Lan'er, but he had already given up on Chu Yunfan. Chu Yunfan had easily passed the intermediate alchemist examination, which meant that his strength far surpassed this.

However, he immediately thought of the possibility that Chu Yunfan might have known about this pill recipe beforehand. This was not impossible. Sometimes, the intermediate alchemist assessment really tested one's luck.

"He must have been lucky to have refined this pill before!" Bai Shengzu shouted, trying to turn the situation around.

Beside him, Kong Buyi could not help but shake his head in disappointment. Even now, Bai Shengzu was still trying to spread rumors and smear others' reputations. Moreover, even if Chu Yunfan had refined it before, it was his luck.

Luck was clearly a part of strength.

"Men, take him outside and let him wake up!" Kong Buyi said without any politeness. How bad would it be if Bai Shengzu continued to deny the results? Outsiders might think that this was some kind of filthy place.

Elder Xu quickly dragged Bai Shengzu out.

Many people felt extremely relieved. After Bai Shengzu had been here for a few days, he shouldn't be too arrogant. That kind of high and mighty attitude was extremely annoying. And now, after losing, he was still so unyielding.

"I heard that you're planning to take the senior alchemist assessment," Kong Buyi suddenly said while everyone was still in shock.

"What? Senior alchemist?"

Many people looked at Chu Yunfan in shock and were in an uproar. Although senior alchemists were not as rare as alchemy experts, they were also high and mighty existences. One had to know that in a big city like Conglong City, the president of the Alchemist Association was only a senior alchemist.

Kong Buyi was already over a hundred years old, but how old was Chu Yunfan?

"Yes, can we proceed with the test now?" Chu Yunfan asked.

The crowd's discussion became even louder.

"He actually wants to take the senior alchemist assessment?!"

"No wonder he was fearless. It turns out that he has such confidence!"

"If he has such strength, then it can explain why the previous tests were so easy for him."

Jiang Lan'er had finally recovered some of her strength. She looked at Chu Yunfan with her mouth agape. She had already done her best just to get into the intermediate alchemist's class.

She was very clear about her own strength. She had finally passed the intermediate alchemist assessment due to luck. If she had picked another pill, she might not have succeeded.

As for becoming a senior alchemist, she didn't even dare to think about it. In the words of her master, Kong Buyi, she shouldn't even think about it for the next ten years.

But now, Chu Yunfan actually wanted to challenge the senior alchemist assessment. He was an existence that was completely on a different level from her.

She couldn't help but wonder where this monster came from.

Among these people, only Ye Qiaoxin was very calm. Looking at the others who were in shock, she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. 'You guys are ignorant. Chu Yunfan actually wanted to take the alchemy expert assessment!'

If it wasn't for the fact that alchemy experts couldn't be tested here, he might even be certified as an alchemy expert in one go.

She had completely forgotten how frightened she was by Chu Yunfan's application.

"All right, since you want to take the senior alchemist assessment, we'll personally conduct the test," Kong Buyi said in a serious tone.

He still didn't know where Chu Yunfan came from, but he had already recognized Chu Yunfan's strength. Chu Yunfan couldn't be underestimated, and he was even on the same level as him.

A few elders of the Alchemist Association had already gathered beside Kong Buyi. Such a huge incident shocked almost all the elders who were in the association.

"The rules of the assessment are as follows. A few of us will each take out a pill. You can taste it, smell it, and look at it. You can use any and all means to determine the ingredients used, the approximate refining method and steps, the effects of the pill and whether there are any drawbacks, and so on," Kong Buyi explained.

When the crowd heard this, they all looked at each other. There were too few senior alchemist masters. Most people didn't know that this was how a senior alchemist was actually tested. It was simply abnormal.

There was no hint at all about the medicinal pill, but the examinee had to reverse deduce all the information. How familiar did one have to be with medicinal pills to be able to do this? No wonder for so many years, in the Alchemist Association of Conglong City, only Kong Buyi had reached this level.

"No problem," Chu Yunfan said without thinking.

"However, for the sake of fairness, you only need to answer correctly for three of the medicinal pills that the five of us take out," Kong Buyi said.

However, for an ordinary person, even if they only needed to answer three out of five correctly, the difficulty would still be extremely difficult.

"All right, let's begin," Chu Yunfan said.

Kong Buyi and another four elders immediately turned around to prepare. Soon, the five of them each took out a pill and approached Chu Yunfan.

"I'm sure that these medicinal pills are not any of the medicinal pills that I know of. They must have been improved on."

"That's right. This is too difficult. These medicinal pills don't seem to be regular medicinal pills. They're all medicinal pills that these elders have privately improved. Even if they want to be blind, it's impossible."

"That's right. It looks like Chu Yunfan won't be able to pass."

While everyone was discussing, Kong Buyi said, "You can choose a starting point. If you get three correct answers, you'll pass the assessment."

"All right, then I'll start with you." Chu Yunfan looked directly at a short and fat middle-aged elder.

He looked at the pill a few times, took a deep whiff of the pill's medicinal fragrance, and looked at the badge hanging on the man's chest. "Elder Wang, right? This should be an improved variant of the Elementary Divine Power Pill."

"Not bad, you have good eyesight." Elder Wang nodded.

"However, just this alone is not enough. You've made a lot of improvements to it. If I used the regular recipe for the Divine Power Pill to reverse deduce, it will definitely be wrong."
