3185 A Very Pleasing Sight
When the alchemist heard this, he stared and asked, “Then what if you don’t pa.s.s?”
“I will naturally leave this place if I fail your test.” She said with a smile, turning her gaze to Pill King. “And I will even persuade Pill King to choose a successor among you.”
“Fine!”
As soon as her words left her mouth, the alchemists reacted. Each one’s fighting spirit awoke, and they vowed to use all their skills to make her fail these three tests.
!!
When those who were nearby and overheard the conversation between the alchemists heard it, their eyes lit up with a gleam. The woman in red made this promise, but it might not be easy to pa.s.s these three tests. Considering how skilled these alchemists were, it would be pretty easy to make her fail all three tests.
She dug herself into a hole! Such an excellent opportunity ended up being wasted. If she failed all three tests, it was likely that Pill King could do nothing to rectify the situation even if he intervened personally.
Pill King watched the scene but said nothing. He had the look of someone watching a good show. Finally, he had someone bring him a chair, and he sat there while the three tests began.
He was pleased that someone helped him test Feng Jiu’s strength. Of course, he didn’t stop it. He also thought that Feng Jiu, the little one, would give him a surprise, so he just waited to see what would happen.
At the alchemists’ command, the crowd around them dispersed and wide, long medicine tables were set up. Nineteen alchemists stood beside those long tables. After looking at each other, they took out some spirit herbs and put them on the table. They gave a satisfied nod and then moved out of the way.
“There are thousands of spirit herbs here. The first test you need to do is choose one hundred spirit herbs from the list we gave you. The amount of time given is the time it takes for a column of incense to burn.”
As he looked at Feng Jiu, the alchemist paused. “You will fail if you do not select a hundred spirit herbs from the list within the time limit, and you will also fail if the spirit herbs you pick differ from the list.”
Feng Jiu nodded, looking at the thousands of spirit herbs piled up on the table. “Mm, I see. Where’s the list?”
Before handing her the list of a hundred spirit herbs, the alchemists exchanged glances. They had someone light the incense stick at the same time. Feng Jiu approached the table as the incense began to burn, signalling the beginning of the test.
Instead of looking at the spirit herbs on the table, she examined the list in her hand and made a note of those spirit herbs. Her move, however, drew the scorn of the alchemists.
“Does she regard herself as having an exceptional visual memory? It’s surprising she wrote down all one hundred spirit herbs on that list.”
“The incense is burning, but she is still taking her time. What a ridiculous person.”
“Perhaps she believes she has no way of noticing, so she started doing this from the beginning.”
“How could Pill King be interested in such a person as his successor? Even if she is given to me as a disciple, I will reject her.”
Those alchemists spoke with contempt and disdain. They all seemed to look down on Feng Jiu, believing that she was just a person with shaky qualifications.
Only Pill King’s eyes flickered as he smiled knowingly at the dazzling red figure in front of the medicine table. The longer he looked at her, the more he felt that the little girl’s self-a.s.sured appearance was a very pleasing sight.
