I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Zheng Yiqing opened his eyes, his face full of surprise. “He is a master alchemist. He is probably here for the identity of a core disciple.” “Who is this Gao Zhice?” Xu Ning asked in a low voice.

Zheng Yiqing was surprised. “You don’t know Gao Zhice?”

Xu Ning shook his head.

Zheng Yiqing looked surprised, but he still patiently explained to Xu Ning, “Gao Zhice comes from a martial arts family, and he has displayed his martial arts talent and alchemy talent ever since he was a child. He is very famous in the alchemy circle of State Guqing.”

“He must be aiming to be a core disciple this time.”

Zheng Yiqing’s tone was full of envy. “I see…” Xu Ning could see that even a master alchemist of Gao Zhizhi’s level would come to be her disciple. This meant that Leng Ran’s alchemy skills were indeed extremely high.

Soon, the crowd quieted down.

Time slowly passed by.

The next morning, the last alchemist participating in the assessment arrived.

A person in white who was waiting on the side all this while walked up to everyone. “All disciples participating in the assessment have arrived. The assessment will officially begin at noon today.”

Many people’s hearts shook after the announcement. Except for Xu Ning, Gao Zhice, and a few others, everyone else was a little nervous.

Especially for those alchemists with average talent and resources. They were about to see the end of their alchemy path, and only by becoming a disciple of Leng Ran would they have a chance to advance further.

At noon.

“The examiners are here!”

Someone suddenly said.

Several figures walked over from the depths of the bamboo forest.

The leader was a woman. She was wearing a light yellow dress and exuded a cold and arrogant temperament.

Behind her, there were also several dao realm masters. When they looked at the candidates, they subconsciously had the look of a superior.

“Hmm?”

The woman in the yellow dress noticed Gao Zhice.

She obviously knew Gao Zhice, so she nodded unobtrusively.

“She is Pei Xuewen. She and the people behind her are all core disciples of Senior Leng Ran. They are all dao realm alchemists.”

At this moment, Zheng Yiqing secretly transmitted information to Xu Ning. “So she is a core disciple…” At first Xu Ning thought that the woman in the yellow dress was Leng Ran.

Because of a dao realm master’s longevity, one’s seniority could not be determined by appearance.

‘Gao Zhice is actually here…’

Several core disciples behind Pei Xuewen also transmitted their voices secretly.

“It seems that we are about to have a Junior Brother Gao.”

These core disciples did not care about any other participants, they only cared about Gao Zhice.

“Everyone.”

Pei Xuewen walked in front of everyone. “I am Pei Xuewen, a core disciple of the Faint Bamboo Forest. I will preside over today’s assessment.”

“There are two assessments today. The first assessment is for you to refine basic medicinal pills in order for us to assess your skills. The second assessment is to refine the best medicinal pill you can refine with the limited spirit herbs we provide you. This test will assess your limits.”

“After the two assessments are over, we will judge whether you have reached the standard based on the results of your refinement. The qualified ones will become my master’s in-name disciples. The outstanding ones will personally meet my master after the test. If you can obtain the approval of my master, then you will become our junior brothers and sisters, possessing the core disciple identity of the Faint Bamboo Forest.”

Everyone listened carefully when Pei Xuewen spoke, afraid to miss any details.

“Lastly, when everyone is refining pills, don’t try to cheat or exchange pills. Once you are discovered, you will have no fate with the Faint Bamboo Forest. Moreover, it will be difficult for you to stay in the alchemy circle of State Guqing as well.”

Pei Xuewen warned.

“Okay, let the assessment begin.”

Pei Xuewen waved her hand, and some green-clothed servants presented the medicinal materials.

Soon, five types of materials were placed in front of Xu Ning. It was a total of fifteen sets of raw materials. ‘Pure Source Pill, Breath Restraining Pill, Youth Returning Pill…’

Xu Ning discovered that these five types of pills were all extremely basic pills.

Some of these medicinal pills were even able to be refined by beginner void realm alchemists.

“You can refine each pill three times.”

After everyone received the pills, Pei Xuewen said again, “Because it is a basic pill, you must have a 100% success rate. Even if you just waste one set of raw materials, you will still fail the assessment.”

Some people began to feel uneasy when they heard the assessment requirements.

Although they were all basic medicinal pills, if the psychological pressure was too high, some mistakes might pop up while they were refining

“In addition, the fifteen pills you refined must include eight superior-grade pills.”

Pei Xuewen added.

The ranks of medicinal pills were divided into perfect, superior-grade, ordinary, and unqualified wasted pills.

“Eight superior-grade…” Most of the candidates below were already frowning

This was equivalent to a superior-grade success rate of more than 50%.

Unless one was immensely skilled, refining a superior-grade pill required some luck.

For many candidates, this was a huge challenge.

Even Pei Xuewen herself believed that not more than fifty people could pass the first assessment, and at least 60% of the candidates would be eliminated by this.

“Let’s begin, the time limit is four hours.”

Pei Xuewen listed one last condition. As soon as she finished speaking, all the candidates began to move.

“Let’s see how Gao Zhice refines pills.”

At this moment, Pei Xuewen and the core disciples next to her all looked at Gao Zhice.

The other candidates were stared at by the white-clothed people to prevent any cheating from happening.

Compared to the nervousness of others, Gao Zhice, who was deliberately being paid attention to, did not panic at all.

He first patted the table with his sleeves, then, in front of everyone’s surprised eyes, he stuffed all fifteen sets of medicinal materials into the pill furnace.

He then began to refine it with his alchemy technique.

“This Gao Zhice is trying to refine all five types of medicinal pills at once!”

Someone exclaimed among the core disciples.

“Refining all five types of pills in the same pill furnace at the same time and to ensure a superior-grade rate of more than 50%. Isn’t this too difficult?”

Some of the core disciples were already wondering if they could pass the assessment by using Gao Zhice’s method.

Gao Zhice didn’t care about what others thought, he just refined the pills step by step.

He activated his dao realm alchemy technique and activated the power of the dao realm. He began to break down the medicinal effect, then began to refine the pill at an extremely fast speed, condensing the pill to form the shape. From the beginning to the end, Gao Zhice did not look troubled at all. He seemed to be at ease throughout the entire process.

‘Gao Zhice’s alchemy level has improved again.’

Pei Xuewen’s eyes were full of admiration. ‘He has probably raised his alchemy technique to the peak of the first level. He will soon reach the second level…’

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, there was a series of muffled sounds.

Fifteen pills jumped out of Gao Zhice’s furnace and landed neatly on the table in front of him.

“Someone refined a pill so quickly?”

“It’s not one pill, it’s fifteen pills. Gao Zhice has already refined all the required pills!”

Gao Zhice’s strong performance stunned everyone participating in the assessment.

Many of them were affected by Gao Zhice’s performance, causing their pill refinement to fail.

The next moment, Pei Xuewen and the others quickly walked next to Gao Zhice. “I have refined all fifteen pills.”

Gao Zhice was calm, as if he was not surprised by his performance.

“Let me check the quality.”

Pei Xuewen personally checked. “This…”

Pei Xuewen’s expression stiffened as she checked the pills one by one. The core disciples behind her looked at each other in disbelief.

“Eight superior-grade…”

Pei Xuewen’s voice was suspicious. “The remaining seven are all… perfect!”

Gao Zhice had achieved a 50% superior-grade success rate in another sense.

‘Even when I have followed Master for thirty years, this is the best I can do…’

Pei Xuewen thought to herself, ‘This Gao Zhice is truly amazing! In the future, he might be the leader of the alchemist circle in State Guqing.’

The eyes of the core disciples next to Pei Xuewen completely changed. If they used to think of Gao Zhice as their junior brother, then now they all knew very well that even before Gao Zhice entered the sect, they were already far inferior to this junior brother.

“I passed the first assessment, right?”

Gao Zhice’s smile made everyone feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

“You passed.”

Pei Xuewen nodded. “Wait for the second assessment.” “Okay.”

Gao Zhice responded.

Pei Xuewen and the other core disciples didn’t know what to say. “Core Disciple Pei…”

Right at this moment, a person in white walked next to them.

He pointed in Xu Ning’s direction. “That person has also refined all fifteen pills.” “What?”

Pei Xuewen and the others quickly followed the direction pointed by the white-clothed person and saw the calm face of Xu Ning.

On the table in front of him, there were also fifteen pills lined up.

‘Someone can match the refining speed of Gao Zhice!?’

They were shocked again. Gao Zhice also noticed this and turned to look at Xu Ning

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Pei Xuewen led them to Xu Ning’s side.

Gao Zhice frowned, paused for a moment, then got up and followed.

Logically speaking, as a candidate, he should sit still.

But because of his relatively special status, the white-clothed person and several other core disciples did not stop him.

Pei Xuewen walked over and looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning nodded slightly as a gesture.

Pei Xuewen went to check the quality of the pills in doubt.

“Perfect, perfect, perfect…”

Boom!

Pei Xuewen, Gao Zhice, and the other core disciples were shocked. After checking the pills, Xu Ning’s fifteen pills were all perfect!
