Chapter 384: The Final Test Begins!

  "Damn!"

  After a moment, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but curse. If Fa Ma hadn't given him a heads-up today, then for tomorrow’s test, the highest-level pill recipe he could have used would have been a few tier-3 recipes that Yao Lao had previously taught him. However, with such low-level recipes, it would be nearly impossible to surpass the colles of other testants.

  Moreover, the fact that the required ingredients for the petition had to be self-provided put Xiao Yan in a tough spot.

  Even though Xiao Yan now khis information from Fa Ma, and Yao Lao could teach him a tier-4 pill recipe ht, solving the issue of the recipe was easy. But where was he going to find the necessary ingredients?

  "Though this test leans somewhat on luck, luck is also a part of one's strength, isn't it?" Fa Ma chuckled and tinued, "I came here to check whether you ything for tomorrow. If you don't have a tier-4 pill recipe, this old man provide one, along with two full sets of the necessary ingredients."

  "Of course, if you already have a familiar tier-4 recipe but ck the materials, I help with that too!"

  "Providing a tier-4 recipe along with the required ingredients!"

  Hearing Fa Ma’s offer, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel tempted. Although Yao Lao could also provide a tier-4 recipe, it would be foolish not to accept a free offer. Without hesitation, he replied, "Old Fa, I don’t have a tier-4 recipe or the ingredients!"

  Upon seeing Xiao Yan’s rea, a barely noticeable smile fshed in the er of Fa Ma’s eyes. He then said slowly, "The tier-4 recipe and the ingredients aren't an issue, but the premise is that you must have the fideo refi!"

  "I would o know the grade of the recipe and the specific requirements," Xiao Yan replied, feeling a bit uain.

  At his current level, refining tier-3 pills was no problem, but refining tier-4 pills was more difficult, with a rather low success rate.

  "This recipe may only be a tier-4 one, but its value is parable to, or even surpasses, that of a tier-5 recipe!" Fa Ma said with a faint smile. He tapped his ste ring lightly, and a jet-bck scroll appeared in his withered hand.

  "Here, take a look. I think you’ll like it." Fa Ma smiled as he hahe a scroll to Xiao Yan.

  Xiao Yan carefully accepted the scroll with both hands and slowly unfurled it, sing the information recorded on its surface.

  "Three Mark Green Spirit Pill, tier-4 pill. A regur Three Mark Green Spirit Pill help a Dou Practitioner break through the barrier to bee a Dou Grandmaster. If ed by a Dou Grandmaster, it has a small ce of raising their strength by oar, without any risk of side effects."

  "The Three Mark Green Spirit Pill es in three grades, with each grade marked by a circle of pill lines on the surface of the pill. If three lines form, it is the highest grade. When taken by anyone below the Dou Grandmaster level, it should be used with caution. If a Dou Grandmaster takes this pill, there is a ce of gaining three-star power for a short time, but there is also a risk of backsh, potentially redug their strength by one or two stars. However, the backsh won’t be life-threatening. To refihe highest grade of the Three Mark Green Spirit Pill, you will need..."

  As Xiao Yahrough the details on the scroll, his excitement grew.

  However, he still wao hear Yao Lao’s opinion.

  "Teacher, what do you think of this pill recipe?" Xiao Yan unicated with Yao Lah the ring.

  "Little Yan, Fa Ma wasn’t exaggerating. This Three Mark Green Spirit Pill is among the best of the tier-4 pills, and it is indeed parable to a tier-5 recipe. For tomorrow’s petition… I suggest you give it a try. Even if you ’t refihe highest-grade pill with three lines, you should still be able to win first pce!" Yao Lao replied, giving his approval.

  "Alright, I’ll follow your advice, Teacher!" Xiao Yan responded.

  Once Xiao Yan had finished reading the tents of the scroll, the jet-bck scroll in his hands suddenly disied into ashes.

  This pill recipe was just a simplified copy from Fa Ma, and it could only be read once, which expined why it turo ashes afterward.

  "So, how fident are you about refining it?" Fa Ma asked with , knowing that Xiao Yan had finished reading the recipe.

  "About fifty pert," Xiao Yan gave a vague estimate.

  "Fifty pert... that's a bit low," Fa Ma murmured to himself upon hearing Xiao Yan's respohough he didn't let his thoughts show. Instead, he simply said, "Well, I wish you the best of luorrow. Make sure to suppress that bck-robed person!"

  "Thank you for your kind words, Old Fa," Xiao Yan replied smoothly. Having received assistance, he wasn’t going to py coy.

  In Fa Ma's heart, Liu Ling was still the stro tender for the championship. He had only e to Xiao Yan to ehings went as smoothly as possible. After giving a few final instrus, Fa Ma retrieved two sets of the necessary materials to refihe Three Mark Green Spirit Pill from his ste ring and hahem to Xiao Yan before bidding him farewell.

  After memorizing the pill formu, Xiao Yahe rest of the night pting the refi process.

  ...

  The m, just as the sky began to lighten, the bustling city came to life like a giant mae winding up, w in perfect rhythm. The people bustling through the streets added energy to this massive mae.

  The most crowded and lively p the city that day was, unsurprisingly, the enormous Royal Pza. Yesterday’s petition had left a sting impression on the audience, with more and more people drawn to the thrilling alchemy test. Even though the sky was barely bright, the area outside the Royal Pza was already packed with a sea of people, their heads f a dark mass stretg as far as the eye could see.

  As time passed, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, casting its light over the vast city. When the sun finally rose, the tightly closed gates of the Royal Pza slowly opened, and the crowd outside surged in like a tidal wave.

  When Xiao Yan arrived at the pza and saw the long li the entrance, he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head helplessly. He sighed, "I didn’t expect today’s crowd to be even crazier thaerday."

  "Brother Yan Xiao!"

  Just as Xiao Yan was staring at the long line, Nan Jie suddenly appeared beside him.

  "Marshal Nan!" Xiao Yan nodded slightly in aowledgment.

  "e with me. As a testant, you don’t o queue in the regur line!"

  Nan Jie gnced around aured to Xiao Yan, then led him toward a differerao the pza.
