Chapter 376: Testing the Quality of Pills! The Mysterious Bck-Robed Person!

  Fa Ma's slightly hoarse voice echoed in everyone’s ears: "Now, all testants, please locate the green button at the lower left er of your stoform and press it."

  Hearing this, Xiao Yan gnced around the ptform and finally noticed an inspicuous er with several small buttons in different colors. His fingers paused on the green button, and he pressed it lightly.

  As the button ressed, the smooth surface of the stoform trembled slightly. A small stone panel slowly rose about half a foot, its surface sinking to reveal a small bck hole.

  "This is a testing mae. You are to pce your refined 'Bone-Growth Pill' inside. If the pill meets the requirements, the jade mirror in front of you will light up green. If it fails, the light will be red, indig failure. The sequence of failure is elimination. The brighter the green light, the closer your pill is to the special effects described in the formu. Oher hand, the brighter the red light, the further your creation is from a true 'Bone-Growth Pill'—more like a useless pellet, though it might still serve as a snack!" Fa Ma’s humorous words echoed through the square, causing the audiend VIP seats to burst into ughter, though many alchemists in the square suddenly turned pale.

  "Haha, well then, everyone, begin!" Fa Ma lifted his arm slightly, signaling the start.

  Gently holding his perfectly round pill, Xiao Yan calmly stared at the dark hole of the testing mae, but he didn’t immediately pce the pill inside. Instead, he sed the area around him.

  By this time, many alchemists had already started pg their pills into the maes. Shortly after the pills were ied, the once-pin square became filled with colorful lights. Bright or dim, green and red beams flickered, revealing the joy of success and the gloom of failure.

  "Damn this testing mae!" a two-star alchemist angrily gred at the jade mirror fshing a bright red light. His mirror had the stro red glow iire square, drawing tless surprised gazes toward him.

  He smmed his fist onto the stoform, retrieved his cauldron into his ste ring, and, uhe scrutiny of many eyes, stormed off the ptform, muttering curses under his breath.

  "Ridiculous! These absurd tests! Why 't we just focus on refining pills properly? Would that kill them? A bunch of old fools! I went through so much trouble gathering these ingredients, only for them t a test on us! The formu didn’t give any useful details beyond the name. How are we supposed to refihis thing?"

  As this round of testing tinued, nearly a hundred alchemists, their faces pale or flushed with frustratiohe square.

  At that moment, Xiao Yan held his pill but hadn’t yet pced it iesting mae. His attention shifted toward Liu Ling.

  When Liu Ling prepared to pce his pill into the mae, Xiao Yan mirrored his as.

  Princess Yao Yue, notig Xiao Yan pg his pill, quickly followed suit, and at the same time, Xiao Yi Xian also pced her pill into the testing mae.

  In an instant, Liu Ling, Xiao Yan, Princess Yao Yue, and Xiao Yi Xian all pced their pills into the dark testing mae hole at almost the exact same moment.

  As the four pills were ied, tless gazes fixated on the ter of the square. Everyone was eager to see whose pill—among these three standout testants, Xiao Yan, Liu Ling, and Princess Yao Yue—would outshihe others.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The jade mirrors remained silent for a moment, but soon after, faint booming sounds echoed as four dazzling green beams shot out from the stoforms in front of the four testants. The iy of their green lights was far greater than any of the previous beams in the square.

  In the ter of the square, three green beams of light shone brightly. The one on the left was slightly dimmer, the one on the right was a bit brighter, but the green beam at the front was as vivid as jade, with a color so rid entig.

  "Wow! Such a deep green!"

  From the audience, excmations of surprise echoed tinuously as they gazed at the emerald-like beam of light rising from Liu Ling's ptform in the middle.

  "He refihe pill so quickly, as quality is still this good!"

  Looking at the bright green light emanating from Liu Ling's ptform ahead, Xiao Yan realized he had been thhly defeated in this round.

  "What has Liu Lihrough these past few years to have bee s?" Princess Yao Yue, standing beside Xiao Yan on the tral ptform, was equally surprised. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with amazement as she gazed at the dazzling green glow in front of Liu Ling.

  "Kid, you still have a lot to learn about alchemy!" Liu Ling turned his head with a broad smile, looking at Xiao Yan as he teased him.

  However, at that moment, Liu Ling's gaze shifted to the back of Xiao Yan, toward a er of the square. He noticed anreen beam, deeper in color than Xiao Yan's or the princess's, sed only to his own.

  Moreover, Liu Li a strange sehat the bck-robed, hooded figure on that stoform was watg him.

  "Who is he? Why does he seem so familiar?" Liu Ling murmured to himself, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

  At that moment, Liu Ling’s slightly fused gaze seemed somerovocative in Xiao Yan’s eyes, and Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel even more irritated as he looked at Liu Ling.

  "Who would've thought that the disciple of the Alchemy King, Gu He, would possess such skill? Not only is his speed remarkable, but the quality of his pills is also top-notch!" Jia Xingtian said with a chuckle, watg the three brilliant green beams of light rising from the ter of the square.

  "Yan Xiao's pill quality isn’t bad either. If he hadn’t failed once earlier, causing his sed refio be a bit rushed, the quality might have been eveer," Fa Ma quickly shifted the focus back to Xiao Yan after hearing Jia Xingtian praise Liu Ling.

  However, not long after, Fa Ma’s attention was drawn to the green beam of light ing from Xiao Yi Xian’s stoform in the er.

  "Who would have thought that the pill refined by that mysterious bck-robed person would also be of such high quality?"

  Fa Ma muttered to himself. Just then, Chelsea brought a set of dots over.

  "Lord Fa Ma, here is all the information on the bck-robed testant!"

  "Hmm!"

  Fa Ma nodded as he took the dots from Chelsea. After skimming through the pages, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

  "So, the bck-robed testant... is actually a woman?"
