Chapter 439: How Not to Be Suspected

Xiao Fan knew that Kong Ping meant for him to step forward to suppress the other two sects.

Although Jiang Rushuang and Pill Master Lu Yongzhen could tell that Xiao Fan might actually be the person with the highest talent for Alchemy among this group of Disciples.

But the Disciples of those two sects did not know, and neither did the Disciples within the Jixian Sect.

In this way, it would have a huge impact on the mentality of the Disciples within the Jixian Sect.

Making them think that the Jixian Sect was inferior to the other two sects.

Xiao Fan understood that this might have been Kong Ping's intention in having him come from the very beginning.

In Shengdan City, what was least lacking here were alchemists; Level 1 Alchemists and Level 2 Alchemists were common, and assessments were held every day.

However, assessments for 3rd Grade Alchemists and above were not held here.

Instead, the City Lord had to preside over them personally, and the City Lord would conduct the assessment.

In their eyes, Level 1 Alchemists were actually just beginners.

They didn't count for much… and the same was true for Level 2 Alchemists.

But 3rd Grade Alchemists were starting to become rare.

Therefore, it had been easy for Xiao Fan to advance from a Level 1 to a Level 2 Alchemist, but now he was stuck at the Great Perfection of Level 2, unable to refine 3rd Grade Medicinal Pills.

Time flew by… An hour passed very quickly.

That Elder from Shengdan City appeared in the arena.

"Those who wish to participate in the Level 2 Alchemist assessment, enter the arena… For the Level 2 Alchemist assessment, Pill Furnace and Spirit Medicine must be self-provided. The requirement is to refine one Level 2 Medicinal Pill, with no restrictions on quality…"

His voice was loud and clear, spreading in all directions.

Xiao Fan glanced at Kong Ping, then stepped forward.

Besides him, fewer than ten other Disciples from the Jixian Sect continued to participate.

Ji Bofeng was also among them.

He could now refine Level 2 Medicinal Pills, and he intended to become a Level 2 Alchemist today.

Ji Bofeng and the others also saw Xiao Fan walk out and were all somewhat surprised…

Just a moment ago, the other party had refined a Level 1 high-grade Medicinal Pill, and it had felt very strained. Why would he stand out now?

However, they only grumbled in their hearts; no one dared to say it out loud.

Even Ji Bofeng, who was at odds with Xiao Fan, dared not do so.

Last time, Xiao Fan had swindled the Azure Flame Art from him, so he dared not offend the other party again.

He was afraid that the other party was doing it on purpose and wanted to swindle someone else.

Many Disciples from the other sects also walked out, with each sect having over twenty participants… exactly double that of the Jixian Sect.

There were also quite a few others participating in this assessment. Looking roughly, everyone added together totaled about two hundred people.

Xiao Fan stood in the spot where he had previously performed Alchemy, patted his Storage Pouch, and the bronze alchemy furnace appeared…

The others did the same, one after another taking out their own Storage Pouch…

"The time limit for Alchemy is one hour. Begin now…"

The voice of that Elder from Shengdan City rang out.

The time given for refining Level 2 Medicinal Pills was double that of before.

Xiao Fan let out a breath. Refining Level 2 Medicinal Pills was effortless.

Even without the star chart, for him now, it was the same.

He patted his Storage Pouch, and various Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine appeared in his hands.

The Pill Furnace lid opened. Xiao Fan placed the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine into the Pill Furnace respectively and began to circulate the Azure Flame Art to start Alchemy.

Xiao Fan intended to refine Level 2 Jade Spirit Pills.

Among Level 2 Medicinal Pills, this Jade Spirit Pill was the one Xiao Fan had refined the most times and was the most proficient at.

The others also did the same, opening their furnaces to begin Alchemy.

Among them was a Disciple from a large Family. His gaze noticed Xiao Fan, and he was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that Xiao Fan would actually participate in this selection…

This person was Fang Mu.

"Just now, this person only refined a Level 1 high-grade Medicinal Pill, and it was very strenuous…" Fang Mu complained in his heart, thinking that Xiao Fan was just here to join in the fun…

Except for the Disciples of the Jixian Sect, most people thought so.

There were many people here joining in the fun, just coming to try their luck…

And although this group of Disciples from Danding Peak knew that Xiao Fan had previously refined a Level 1 perfect Medicinal Pill.

But there was always a big gap between Level 2 and Level 1.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was not a Disciple of Danding Peak, so they did not believe that Xiao Fan could refine a Level 2 Medicinal Pill.

But now that they were all in the same camp, naturally no one would say anything.

Alchemy continued…

Xiao Fan calmly urged the Pill Furnace, controlling the fire…

At this moment, he was thinking about exactly what grade of Medicinal Pill he should refine…

"For the sake of safety, refining a Level 2 intermediate or high-grade one should be enough… This way, it shouldn't make others suspicious…"

Xiao Fan pondered in his heart, but if he refined an intermediate or high-grade Level 2 Medicinal Pill, that wouldn't suppress the people from the other two sects…

The Disciples of Ziyun Cave Heaven and Thunder Fire Sect were all concentrating fully on Alchemy…

Inside the entire great hall, there was a rich fragrance of medicine everywhere.

Half an hour later…

In the arena, rolling blue smoke rose from one Pill Furnace.

This was the scene after Alchemy was completed.

The people in the arena looked over, and even many people who were currently performing Alchemy also turned their gazes toward it.

This person was a Disciple of Ziyun Cave Heaven, and he was opening the lid of the Pill Furnace in front of him…

"Hahaha, it's a success." This Disciple was overjoyed.

Looking into the furnace, there were nine Medicinal Pills, the highest quality of which was a Level 2 high-grade Lingmo Pill.

Exclamations of amazement were everywhere around him.

Being able to refine a Level 2 high-grade Medicinal Pill proved that this person was not far from becoming a 3rd Grade Alchemist.

With time, he would definitely be able to become a 3rd Grade Alchemist.
