"Black Heart Vine, eight hundred years old, is an elixir with three attributes: earth, wood, and water. Earth and wood are supplementary, and water is the main attribute. It is an excellent elixir for refining elixirs that nourish the internal organs..."
Ling Xiao glanced at the dry-looking tree vine in the glass box and knew the answer.
There was obviously a trace of hesitation on Zhao Ritian's face before he finally picked up the pen to write the answer.
"Write slowly, don't be in a hurry! I think that gate stone looks delicious, it must suit your taste!"
Ling Xiao patted Zhao Ritian on the shoulder, smiled slightly and walked towards the fifty-first glass box.
"asshole!"
Zhao Ritian was concentrating on writing the answer. He didn't know when Ling Xiao arrived beside him. He was startled and the pen in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Ritian looked at Ling Xiao's back with a black line on his head and gritted his teeth.
He felt that Ling Xiao was too arrogant, even more arrogant than him. He obviously didn't understand anything and still pretended to have seen through everything, which made him extremely unhappy.
Ling Xiao quickly read through the one hundred and eight glazed boxes, then wrote the answers and handed them to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan was also a little surprised, shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that Ling Xiao was joking.
And many alchemists looked at Ling Xiao like a fool, knowing that Ling Xiao would definitely lose this bet.
Only Xia Hongxiu's eyes showed a hint of doubt, because Ling Xiao was too calm and didn't have a trace of panic at all, as if the answers to the 108 elixirs were already known in his mind.
"It should be...impossible!"
Xia Hongxiu bit her lip, instinctively feeling that it was impossible.
Alchemy is broad and profound, and is far more difficult than getting started in martial arts. Ling Xiao has transformed to such an extent in three years. With his extraordinary talent in martial arts, he is already a monster. It should be impossible for him to be so perverted along the way to alchemy.
But for some reason, Xia Hongxiu thought of how Ling Xiao was so indifferent and calm during the Ling family's mid-year competition. As a result, all those who mocked him were severely slapped in the face.
The identification test lasted for two hours in total, and the time passed quickly.
Many alchemists didn't even finish the questions, and all of them were crying, knowing that they might be eliminated.
Only a small number of alchemists can finish writing the answers, but they are still very nervous. After all, many answers are uncertain, and it is still unknown whether they can reach 300 points in the end.
"Everyone, wait a moment. After we have finished correcting everyone's answers, we will announce the candidates for the second level!"
Xia Yan smiled slightly, and then took everyone's answers to correct them.
"Ling Xiao, you won't get zero points by then, right? That will be a lot of fun. I'm sure that only I, Zhao Ritu, can answer more than 400 points. Most of these chickens and dogs will have to answer
Eliminated!"
Zhao Ritian licked his face and leaned towards Ling Xiao, saying with a stinking look on his face.
He was still a little depressed in his heart. Although he was the second to answer the question, Zhao Ritian felt extremely unhappy when he saw Ling Xiao's calm look.
"I'm afraid I will disappoint you! I don't know about the others, but if I answer 300%, you will definitely eat this gate stone!"
Ling Xiao glanced at Zhao Ritian lightly and said.
"You're the only one paying back three hundred points?"
Zhao Ritian sneered and said: "I think you are blind and can only get a few dozen points. If you really answer three hundred points, I, Zhao Ritian, will eat all these gate stones!"
Behind the gate of Tianshi Temple, there are nine gate stones.
Those gate stones are all square, about the size of a human head, and are made of solid black granite. They are so strong that even spiritual weapons can hardly leave scratches on them.
"This is what you said, don't regret it then!"
Ling Xiao glanced at Zhao Ritian and smiled lightly.
"Of course! I'm a manly man and I'll keep my promise. If you can get 300 points in the exam, I will eat all nine gate stones! But if you lose, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me nine times!"
Zhao Ritian patted his chest, looking proud.
"No problem! If I lose, let alone nine kowtows, I have no problem with a hundred kowtows!"
Ling Xiao smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.
Master Jiaomu looked at Zhao Ritian with sympathy in his eyes, this guy really hit the muzzle of the gun!
Soon, Xia Yan came back, his eyes swept over everyone, but stayed on Ling Xiao for a moment, with a strange and dignified look in his eyes.
"Ahem, let me announce the candidates for the second level!"
Xia Yan coughed lightly, and all the alchemists suddenly looked expectantly and looked at Xia Yan nervously.
"First place Zhao Ritian, 420 points!"
As soon as Xia Yan's voice fell, a palace guard posted Zhao Ritian's answer on the wall.
"Four hundred and twenty points, be a good boy! This is so perverted!"
A burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the Tianshi Palace, and many alchemists looked at Zhao Ritian with shock in their eyes.
Many of the one hundred and eight elixirs are very obscure and difficult to encounter, let alone getting the answers right. This Zhao Ritian is simply going to defy the heavens!
The total score was 424 points. Zhao Ritian actually got 420 points and only lost 4 points. What a monster.
Even Ling Xiao glanced at Zhao Ritian in surprise. Although this guy was arrogant and arrogant, he did have the capital to be arrogant.
"Concession, concession! Hahaha..."
Zhao Ritian smiled so wide that his face was full of pride, and his whole body exuded an aura of coquettishness, as if he was saying, "Look how awesome I am, come and praise me!"
"Second place Burnt Wood, three hundred and ninety-eight points!"
"Third place draws, three hundred and ninety points!"
"Fourth place Chongming, 388 points!"
"..."
Xia Yan's voice continued to echo in the Tianshi Palace.
To everyone's surprise, not long after Master Jiaomu was promoted to a mid-level alchemy master, he actually scored higher than Master Chonghe and Master Chongming, and won the second place.
Zhao Ritian was even more proud, almost wagging his tail. As expected, he was the only one who got more than 400 points, and the others were far behind.
"..."
"Seventeenth place Chunshen, three hundred and twenty-five points!"
"Eighteenth place Zhao Minghao, three hundred and twenty points!"
"..."
"Twenty-eighth Wang Duo, three hundred and one points!"
"Twenty-ninth place Zheng Ying, 300 points!"
Xia Yan paused after announcing the twenty-nine names in one breath, and then said with a slight smile: "Congratulations to the above twenty-nine alchemists for passing the identification level and entering the second level, but..."
Before Xia Yan finished speaking, Zhao Ritian burst out laughing excitedly.
"Hahaha... Ling Xiao, aren't you arrogant? Aren't you awesome? Why were you eliminated in the first level? I guess you must have not even got ten points right. Kneel down and kowtow to me. I am Zhao Ritian.
Yan Jiuding, you don’t want to default on your debt, do you?”
Zhao Ritian's nostrils turned upward and he burst into laughter, looking at Ling Xiao with a look full of gloating.
