Chapter 2814
“Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for anything that comes up,” Kai assured with a subtle smile.
With this reassurance, the examiner reluctantly took Kai’s box and began to open it slowly.
Inside the box lay a dan recipe—a fifth-grade top-tier recipe—and it was randomly assigned, ensuring no possibility of cheating on the test!
After retrieving the recipe, the examiner unfurled it, and with a wave of his hand, they were suddenly transported to a vast area filled with medicinal herbs, boasting thousands of varieties, including many rare ones!
However, Kai was aware that this was merely an illusion. If such a treasure trove of herbs existed in Jialing County, every cultivator in the entire Celestial Realm would be vying for it!
“Alright, you may search among these herbs for the ones required in the dan recipe,” the examiner instructed Kai.
Kai nodded and leaped into action, soaring over the vast expanse of medicinal herbs!
He barely skimmed through the herbs before returning to the examiner!
Upon seeing Kai’s return, the examiner reminded him, “Remember, there’s a time limit for collecting the herbs. If you don’t select the correct ones in time, you will fail the test.”
“I understand, I’ve already gathered what I need…”
Kai said, extending his palm forward to reveal several herbs he had somehow collected!
The examiner was taken aback, unable to comprehend how Kai had picked those herbs so quickly.
“That was incredibly fast!”
“Speed isn’t everything; accuracy is what counts,” the examiner replied, beginning to compare the herbs in Kai’s hand.
It was astounding to think that anyone could accurately select all the necessary herbs in such a brief timeframe!
Yet, when the examiner finished his assessment, he stood frozen in disbelief!
Because Kai had indeed selected every herb correctly!
“This… this is impossible!”
“How could he be so quick? Is there a chance he cheated?”
The examiner was engulfed in amazement!
He had never witnessed such speed, despite having evaluated countless medicine masters!
“Examiner, I assure you, I didn’t cheat. You know we were together the entire time,” Kai responded with a gentle smile.
“I apologize; I’m just truly astonished. I’ve never seen speed like yours before.”
The examiner recognized his mistake and quickly offered an apology!
“So, does this mean I’ve passed this level of the test?” Kai inquired eagerly!
“Yes, and not only that, but you’ve also set a new record. I doubt anyone will surpass your achievement in this assessment field moving forward!”
The examiner affirmed, and with another wave of his hand, they reappeared in the room.
The examiner then led Kai out of the room!
When Zhu Zhu saw them, she rushed over and asked, “How did it go? Did you pass this level?”
Since Zhu Zhu couldn’t see what had transpired in the illusion, she was eager for answers!
“Not only did I pass, but I also broke the record…”
The examiner exclaimed, astonished!
“Broke the record?” Zhu Zhu was taken aback, her eyes wide with disbelief as she turned to Kai.
She struggled to fathom that Kai had managed to pass the first level of the Fifth Grade Upper Pill Master Examination!
She had heard that the first level required finding specific herbs from thousands within a very limited time!
How could Kai have succeeded?
And not just passed, but set a new record?
“Could it be that a blind cat stumbled upon a dead rat? While luck can play a role at this stage, it won’t help in alchemy,” Zhu Zhu cautioned.
“You’ll only be deemed successful if you can refine a fifth-grade top-tier elixir, so don’t get too comfortable just yet!”
Zhu Zhu advised Kai sternly!
“A fifth-grade superior elixir? It’s not that challenging. With the right herbs, I can whip it up in no time!”
Kai replied confidently, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth!
