Testing the Quality of the Pills! The Mysterious Black Robe!

Fa Ma's slightly hoarse voice slowly rang out beside everyone's ears. "Now, all contestants, find the green button in the lower-left corner of your bluestone platforms, then press it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan swept his gaze over the stone platform before finally settling on the inconspicuous lower-left corner. Somewhat startled, he discovered several tiny buttons of different colors scattered there. He placed his finger on the green button as instructed and lightly pressed it.

As the button was pressed, the smooth bluestone platform suddenly trembled slightly. A stone slab slowly rose from the surface, and after rising half a foot, its top sank inward slightly, eventually revealing a small black hole.

"This is a testing machine. Put the Bone-Regenerating Pills you refined into it. If they meet the requirements, the jade mirror in front of the platform will shine green. If they do not, it will shine red, which means failure. The consequence of failure is leaving the arena. Furthermore, the brighter the green light, the closer the Bone-Regenerating Pill you refined is to the special effects recorded in the prescription. Conversely, the brighter the red light, the more it means that what you refined is not a Bone-Regenerating Pill at all, but a pellet with no effect whatsoever. Of course, if it can fill your stomach, then it still has some use!"

Hearing the humorous words echoing above the plaza, laughter erupted from both the audience and VIP sections. Yet within the plaza, quite a few alchemists suddenly had their expressions change.

"Hehe, all right, everyone, begin!" Fa Ma said as he lightly raised an arm.

Gently pinching the round pill between his fingers, Xiao Yan calmly watched the testing machine's dark opening, yet he did not immediately put it in. Instead, he swept his gaze around the area.
