Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Pharmacist Assessment
“`
“Indeed, Yang Xiaotian may have mastered the Earth Flame and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, but the Buddha Son wields the Space Flame and the Great Sea Flame. The combined power of the Space Flame and the Great Sea Flame must surely be stronger than that of the Earth Flame and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame!”
“Moreover, Buddha Son can control two Abnormal Fires for alchemy at the same time. Such a feat is simply eye-opening, unprecedented. It’s not certain that Yang Xiaotian could do the same.”
Many family disciples passing by discussed among themselves.
Yang Xiaotian heard that Buddha Son, Tang Huan, had won first place in this Buddha Source Empire Pharmacist Competition, yet his expression remained unchanged.
“Don’t forget, back in Eastern Desolate City some days ago, Tang Huan lost to Divine Yang!” At that moment, a family disciple spoke out loudly.
“If Divine Yang were to take part in this alchemy competition, the one to win first place would certainly be Divine Yang!” another family disciple chimed in.
It seemed that Yang Xiaotian did have quite a number of fans.
Instantly, a verbal sparring match ensued between the two sides.
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and walked toward the Pharmacist Hall.
However, the Thousand Buddha Hall is a critical place within the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall, not just anyone can enter. Only pharmacists with a four-star rating and above are allowed to enter the Thousand Buddha Hall to comprehend the Medicine Path.
Therefore, before that, he must pass the four-star pharmacist assessment at the headquarters of the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall.
As Yang Xiaotian was heading over to the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall, within a courtyard of the hall, a group of Buddha Source pharmacists held a banquet to celebrate Tang Huan winning first in the Pharmacist Competition.
Tang Huan mingled with the crowd, amid a sea of jubilant voices and laughter.
While everyone was enjoying themselves, an attendant approached Tang Huan and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing it, Tang Huan frowned and set down his wine cup.
The young man in a green robe on his left noticed this and asked, “Brother Tang, may I know what the matter is?”
This green-robed young man was the same Buddha Source Academy student from Redemption Land who was sent flying by Yang Xiaotian’s Dragon Blood Fist.
He was from the Chen Family of Zhongzhou, the second young master of the family named Chen Yuan.
The Chen Family was also one of the super big families in the Buddha Source Empire.
The students from Buddha Source Academy who had entered Redemption Land had completed their mission yesterday and had returned to Buddha Light City with the Buddha Youth God.
Tang Huan spoke coldly, “I’ve seized first place in this Pharmacist Competition, but many have their doubts, claiming that Yang Xiaotian would definitely take first if he participated.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan laughed dismissively, “Yang Xiaotian? Who does he think he is! If his alchemy level were really that high, he wouldn’t have been hiding and too scared to join the Pharmacist Competition.”
Another Buddha Source Academy student laughed, “Brother Chen is right. He knows his own limitations, that’s why he dared not participate in the Pharmacist Competition. In my opinion, if he joined, he probably wouldn’t even make it into the top ten.”
The Buddha Source Academy students present all laughed.
Tang Huan’s expression improved slightly as he said in a deep voice, “I actually hope he comes. I want to have a fair and square match with him!”
“I want to show them who really has the higher alchemy level between me and Yang Xiaotian!”
With that, he downed a gulp of wine, his eyes fierce.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotian and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor arrived at the grand entrance of the Buddha Light City’s Pharmacist Hall.
Just like the Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Dragon Empire, there was no one guarding the entrance.
Yang Xiaotian and his companion entered.
It was getting late, and inside the hall, there weren’t many people, just a few pharmacists in twos and threes.
When these few saw someone entering, they couldn’t help but look over.
One of them, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, had a change in his expression and then his eyes filled with killing intent, “You brat, it’s you!”
He happened to be the young man from the Buddha Family whom Yang Xiaotian encountered in the Soul Beast Forest when he was hunting the Abyssal Master.
“`
Yang Xiaotian hadn’t expected to encounter the other party here.
The youngster, a core disciple of the Buddha Family, was named Buddha Shengjie.
He subconsciously glanced at the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor standing next to Yang Xiaotian; the last time, the four Saint Realm elders he had brought with him were sent flying by the Iceflame Qilin, an incident that was deeply engraved in his memory.
“Who is in charge here?” Yang Xiaotian didn’t heed Buddha Shengjie’s murderous gaze and spoke up, “I want to participate in the Pharmacist assessment.”
The other few Pharmacists were taken aback.
“You want to take the one-star Pharmacist assessment?” One of the two-star Pharmacists sized up Yang Xiaotian top to bottom.
Yang Xiaotian looked to be only twelve or thirteen, an age at which many were still mere medicine apprentices.
It was no wonder that the other party assumed Yang Xiaotian was there for the one-star Pharmacist assessment.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “I want to assess for two-star Pharmacist.” He then took out his one-star Pharmacist identity plaque.
The others were surprised to see that Yang Xiaotian was a one-star Pharmacist.
Buddha Shengjie was also greatly surprised as he looked at Yang Xiaotian, then chuckled, “I am the person in charge of the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall. Kid, I didn’t expect you to be a one-star Pharmacist. You want to assess for two-star Pharmacist, right? I’ll proctor your assessment then.” Saying this, he ordered his subordinates to bring out a rusty Medicine Cauldron from the Inner Hall.
He also took out the medicinal ingredients required to concoct the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.
These ingredients were of extremely poor quality, many had even begun to mold.
“If you can use this Medicine Cauldron and these ingredients to refine a low-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir within an hour, I will consider you to have passed,” Buddha Shengjie pointed at the Medicine Cauldron and ingredients, smiling.
The time allocated for a two-star Pharmacist assessment is three hours.
Yet, Buddha Shengjie deliberately shortened the time to one hour!
Even many well-known two-star Pharmacists at the Buddha Source Pharmacist Hall now would be unable to refine a low-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir within an hour!
Yang Xiaotian glanced at him, suddenly spread his right hand, and instantly, an overwhelming Heaven and Earth Fire burst forth like a tsunami, rushing towards the ingredients on the ground.
These ingredients were one by one swept into the Medicine Cauldron.
And in a moment, all the ingredients melted into a medicinal liquid under the heat of the Heaven and Earth Fire.
Under the control of Yang Xiaotian’s Heaven and Earth Fire, the once rust-covered Medicine Cauldron suddenly burst into a strong glow, as if reinvigorated with life.
The Heaven and Earth Fire, like tidal waves, carried the Medicine Cauldron up high into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a brilliant light flashed, and the fragrance of the Elixir permeated the great hall.
A crystal-clear Elixir flew out from the Medicine Cauldron, the astonishing sound of dragons and tigers roaring vibrating through the Pharmacist Hall.
Buddha Shengjie and his companions were completely stunned, looking at the crystal-clear Elixir as if they had seen a ghost.
“This is, a top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir!”
A top-grade Dragon-Tiger Elixir, refined in just a few breaths!
And it was done using the lowest grade Medicine Cauldron and the poorest quality ingredients!
“How is this possible!” Buddha Shengjie stammered in disbelief.
“Did I pass?” Yang Xiaotian asked indifferently.
Buddha Shengjie looked at Yang Xiaotian, struggling to conceal his shock, but finally nodded. Just as he was about to have someone issue the two-star Pharmacist identity plaque to Yang Xiaotian, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, “No need, I also want to take the three-star Pharmacist assessment.”
On the Azure God Continent, Pharmacist assessments have to be taken level by level, hence, Yang Xiaotian could only take the two and three-star assessments before proceeding to the four-star Pharmacist assessment.
Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to continue to the three-star Pharmacist assessment, Buddha Shengjie and his companions were dumbfounded.
