Gray-Robed Person

In the vast square, thousands of Alchemist displayed their skills, refining their own elixirs.

Of course, Lin Ming wouldn't even look at the Second-Grade Pill refined in the first round, but among the thousands of Alchemist below, only a few could actually refine them.

From the start of the alchemy process until now, only half an hour has passed, and many Alchemists have already failed twice, ending their journey in this Alchemist Grand Meet.

Failure is a common occurrence for Alchemist; it's something no one can avoid. Among these Alchemists, even Xiao Yan, Little Princess Yao Yue, and Liu Ling, Gu He's disciple, have all made mistakes and failed once.

Of course, some people succeeded in refining it on their first try without making any mistakes. Among them, the person wrapped in a gray robe was the most eye-catching.

Almost everyone who came to the Alchemist Grand Meet wanted to become famous and be courted by the Great Family, so all of them revealed their faces. Even Xiao Yan, who wore a human skin mask, still showed his face.

However, in a situation where everyone's face was exposed, this person, whose entire body was covered by a gray robe, already stood out. Now, in addition, he completed the refining of the pill without making a single mistake from beginning to end, which naturally attracted even more attention.

Lin Ming, who possessed Original Work Memory, naturally recognized the gray-robed man as the Vice President of the Chu Yun Empire Alchemist Guild, who had come to cause trouble.

However, Lin Ming wasn't particularly interested in dealing with such trivial matters. Wasn't it more interesting to simply watch things unfold and add some amusement for himself?

The enormous hourglass was slowly emptying its contents, while the Alchemist in the plaza diligently refined their pills. As the last grains of sand drained from the hourglass, those Alchemists who had not yet Pill Formation were flagged as unsuccessful and eliminated.

"Congratulations to those still standing in the square. This means you have successfully refined the pill. However, successfully refining the pill does not mean you have passed the first round. You are all Alchemist, so you know better than anyone that there will always be some cunning individuals who like to pull off some inexplicable tricks. They may also successfully refine pills that look the same, but those pills have no healing effect whatsoever... Therefore, next, we will test whether the 'Bone-Regenerating Pill' you have refined meet the requirements of the prescription." After eliminating those who had flashed red lights, Fa Ma stood up and spoke to those still remaining in the arena.

Upon hearing Fa Ma's words, some of the people below began to panic.

This situation, of course, did not escape Fa Ma's notice. So, a moment later, Fa Ma's voice rang in the ears of everyone below again.

"Now, all participants, locate the green button in the lower left corner of your Blue Stone platform and press it."

Upon hearing Fa Ma's words, everyone began to act Fa Ma.

As the group moved, a stone slab slowly bulged out from their platform, and finally, after the platform rose half a foot high, a small Black Hole was revealed in the center.

"This is a testing machine. Put the 'Bone-Regenerating Pill' you've refined into it, and the machine will automatically detect them. Those that meet the requirements will turn green, while those that don't will turn red. Those that turn red are eliminated, which goes without saying. As for the green, the better the quality of the pill, the deeper the green will be... Alright, everyone, let's begin!" Fa Ma began explaining again, looking at the rising stone platform.

As soon as Fa Ma finished speaking, people eagerly threw their own pills into the pot.

With the introduction of the elixirs, some were naturally happy while others were saddened, and those who had been deceiving others were naturally exposed at this time.

As more and more people put in their pills, Xiao Yan, Yao Yue, and Liu Ling, who were in the most conspicuous positions, compared their pills and put them into their detectors together.

All three of them were of course qualified in refining pills, and the depth of their green color surpassed that of all current Alchemist. Among the three, Xiao Yan's pills had the deepest green color.

"As expected, Xiao Yan is slightly better!" Fa Ma chuckled as he looked at the result of the comparison among the three.

After watching for a while, Fa Ma suddenly stopped smiling, narrowed his old eyes, tapped his fingers on the Fa Ma, and said with a hint of surprise, "That person..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing the sudden change in Fa Ma, Elder Hai and Jia Xingtian looked at him with puzzled expressions. Jia Xingtian couldn't help but ask.

"That guy is pretty strong! His Soul Power is the strongest in the arena. Even Gu He, who participated in the competition back then, didn't reach this level." In response to his two old friends' questions, Fa Ma immediately spoke up about what he had sensed.

As Fa Ma finished speaking, the gray-robed man who had been instructed by Fa Ma also put the pill into the testing machine. Then, a green light that surpassed all others shone brightly above it.

The old friend's words at this occasion had not aroused any suspicion from Elder Hai and Jia Xingtian. In addition, the pills he refined were now showing a quality that surpassed everyone else's, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Chelsea, give me his information!" Seeing this, Fa Ma could no longer sit still and said to his assistant.

As the assistant brought the documents, the information about the gray-robed man was officially displayed to the assembled bigwigs above.

"This guy is Alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire. According to this information, he's only seventeen years old." As the information was brought out, Fa Ma's assistant couldn't help but recite the man's brief profile.

"Why does it only say he's Second-Grade Alchemist? Judging from the Soul Power I sensed just now, he's at least 4th Grade Alchemist." Fa Ma ignored his assistant's words and instead voiced his own doubts.

"A seventeen-year-old 4th Grade Alchemist? Guild Master, if the Chu Yun Empire really had such Alchemist, he would probably be showing off everywhere by now. Besides, alchemy skills take time to accumulate..." The assistant replied helplessly to Fa Ma's words.

"My intuition is never wrong, but what you said is also true, so this person definitely has a problem!" In response to his assistant's statement, Fa Ma immediately replied decisively.
