Chapter 2817
Zhu Zhu spun around to face Kai, who was already on his feet. “What are you pretending for? You still want to use the incense burner to make pills? The furnace exploded this time, didn’t it?”
“Fortunately, Brother Meng wasn’t hurt, or I’d make you pay for it,” Zhu Zhu continued, her voice rising as she directed her frustration at Kai, making him feel a twinge of annoyance.
However, for the sake of Suo Xing Yue, Kai chose to keep his irritation in check.
“The furnace has exploded, your alchemy attempt has failed, and your test is over,” the examiner stated, displeased. “At such a young age, instead of focusing on practical cultivation, all you do is brag…”
After all, he was the one who had allowed Kai to use the incense burner for refining pills, and now that it had blown up, he was concerned about being held accountable.
“Who said I failed to refine a potion?” Kai replied, a faint smile playing on his lips.
“Your furnace has exploded! Isn’t that a clear failure in alchemy?” the examiner countered.
“Not at all!” Kai exclaimed. He then opened his hand to reveal a turquoise fifth-grade top-grade elixir, its rich medicinal aroma instantly filling the entire alchemy room.
Everyone stood frozen, staring at the elixir in Kai’s hand. It took a moment for the examiner to snap out of his astonishment. “Bring it to me so I can check if it’s truly a fifth-grade elixir!”
Kai tossed the elixir to the examiner, who carefully inspected it.
Soon, the examiner’s eyes widened in disbelief. “This… this is actually a fifth-grade top-grade elixir that is perfectly formed?”
“How is this possible? To refine a perfect fifth-grade top-grade elixir in such a short time is astounding…”
“What? This isn’t a half-finished product?” Zhu Zhu exclaimed, equally shocked.
Meanwhile, Meng He wore a serious expression, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. He couldn’t fathom how Kai managed to create a flawless fifth-grade top-grade elixir in such a brief period—something he himself would find impossible!
Moreover, Kai had used an incense burner instead of a dan furnace; if he had used the latter, the process might have been even quicker!
As this realization struck him, Meng He’s pupils constricted sharply. If Kai entered the Pill Master’s Meeting, he would have no chance of securing first place!
“Big brother Meng, this… this is really a fifth-grade top-grade elixir! It’s incredible!” Zhu Zhu declared, holding up the elixir that Kai had just produced.
Meng He snapped back to reality, took the elixir, and examined it closely. It was nearly perfect, devoid of any flaws!
“So, does this mean I’ve passed the test?” Kai inquired, looking at the examiner.
“Yes, yes… you’ve passed!” the examiner replied, nodding vigorously. “I’ll notify them to provide you with a medicine master document!”
Kai shot a playful glance at the bead before stepping out of the alchemy room.
Zhu Zhu had always underestimated Kai, but now he felt thoroughly embarrassed as Kai proved him wrong.
“Hmph, what’s there to be proud about? It’s just a fifth-grade upper-level test. I’m sure Brother Meng will pass it too!” Zhu Zhu scoffed, looking at Kai with disdain.
Meng He remained silent. If it were just an examination, he could certainly pass it as well; his alchemy skills had also reached the fifth-grade upper level!
However, he hadn’t taken the Pill Master test again, so his current title was still that of a fifth-grade lower-grade Pill Master.
The reason Meng He hadn’t registered for the Pill Master examination previously was that he had been pretending to be weak while biding his time.
But witnessing Kai’s performance left him internally shaken. Kai hadn’t just passed the test; he had dominated it effortlessly!
To refine a fifth-grade top-grade elixir using an incense burner in just one incense-burning session was nothing short of extraordinary!
Meng He understood that he would never be able to achieve such a feat. The fifth-grade elixir Kai had crafted was not just impressive; it was flawless and perfect to the highest degree!
