Chapter 187 Alchemy Association"A purple token!", the beautiful attendant recognised the token Zhan Chen had taken out.
"Is your teacher a pill grand master ?", she asked Zhan Chen.
"My teacher?", Zhan Chen didn't know what to say for a moment. He had taken out the token that grand master Wang had given him and it led to the current misunderstanding of the attendant.
"No, he is not my teacher but I am somewhat acquianted with him", Zhan Chen clarified himself.
"Can I give the test with this token?", Zhan Chen looked towards the attendant.
"No, even though you have brought out a purple token, it is still impossible for you to skip two levels and directly give the test for the pill grand master", the beautiful attendant explained.
A frown appeared on Zhan Chen's face after hearing her reply because it would be too much of a hassle for him if he kept appearing in the test for pill master and pill grandmaster. He was in somewhat of a dilemma when he noticed something and a smile appeared on his face.
"Allow him to attain the test. If you want, I can talk with your superior", a commanding voice interrupted the tranquility of the ground floor.
"Here she is", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and turned to look towards the door of the ground floor.
"Miss, can you state your identity?", the beautiful attendant looked towards the new visitor who had entered the ground floor.
"What is she doing here?", Kai Min thought to herself after seeing the appearance of the visitor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Here is my token. You can show it to your superior", Lan Yueyue spoke to the attendant after taking out a round token. The token was golden in colour and there was the word "City lord" written on top of it.
The beautiful attendant gulped inaudibly after seeing the token that Lan Yueyue had taken out. She hurriedly went upstair after picking up the token.
Lan Yueyue didn't look at Zhan Chen and others of his group. One might say that she was acting indifferent but reality was different.
Her face was flushed red at this moment as she was trying her best to look serious. The veil on her face was assisting her. That's how she could mask his emotion infront of Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan.
The beautiful attendant didn't take long as she came down from the stairs after a while. A thin old man was following behind her and one could immediately speak his identity after seeing the cauldron symbol on his robe.
"Miss Lan, I have long heard about you? It is my bad that I didn't come out earlier", the thin looking old man cupped his hands towards Lan Yueyue.
Lan Yueyue also greeted him back and after the exchange of pleasantries she made the purpose of her arrival clear. She was here for Zhan Chen.
The thin looking elder of Alchemy association felt surprise after hearing her words. He turned to look towards Zhan Chen but after seeing him, a doubtful look appeared on his face.
"Such a young man! Miss Lan, are you sure, he can attain the test of a pill grand master?", the thin looking elder asked Lan Yueyue.
--------------
"Such marvelous technique! Elder Jin, are you sure that he is only eighteen?", two other elders looked towards the thin looking elder who brought Zhan Chen for the test.
"Look, what is he doing?", the elder who was silent till now spoke for the first time.
"It is insane", the mist garrulous among the elders spoke.
"He is still young after all", elder Jin shook his head.
None of the three grand masters had ever seen anyone succeeding by following methods of Zhan Chen. To fuse the medicinal essence of the herbs, one must need to be patient and apply the right amount of temperature. But what Zhan Chen was doing at this moment was contrary to the principle of Alchemy.
He kept increasing the temprature without trying to balance it. While the three grandmasters were busy lamenting, Zhan Chen was secretly controlling the pill furnace with his soul consciousness.
Thin strands of his soul had entered the pill furnace and they were acting as the balancing factor for the medicinal essence. No amount of heat could damage the medicinal essence as his soul strands would ensure the optimal heat inside the pill furnace.
"He is still doing it!", elder Jin shook his head in dismay.
"Forget it, it is for the best that he is going to fail. Otherwise, it will cause a big upheavel. An eighteen year old boy, a pill grandmaster! What kind of notion it is", the garrulous one among the three elders qupped.
The three elders were talking but Zhan Chen's words interrupted their conversation.
"Elders, sorry to keep you waiting. I have finished concocting the pill", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Take out the lid and let us check", elder Jin spoke in a disinterested voice. According to him, the result was already decided.
A wonderful herbal aroma came out from the pill furnace as soon as Zhan Chen opened up the lid. The three elders looked towards eachother and each of them had a surprised expression on their faces.
Zhan Chen had a smile on his face as he saw the changed facial expression of three elders. According to him, the result was only natural because there was no challenge in concocting a grade four pill. He had finished the concoction long ago but he had to keep pretending as his performance would be considered too shocking. A grade four pill concocted within fifteen minutes, that would cause a real upheavel in the cultivation world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite his cautious approach, the result made the elders speechless. They kept passing the pill among themselves as each of them took a sniff out of the pill.
"How is this possible? A pill just short of vein appearance!", one of the elder commented.
"We need to keep this pill with us. We must ask the....", the elder turned to look towards the direction of Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had already disappeared from his place because he couldn't tolerate the three curious old men anymore.
His gaze fell upon city lord Yueyue after he climbed down the stairs. Lan Yueyue blushed after seeing Zhan Chen looking towards her. She tried to look away but it turned out to be a quite an difficult task for her.
Zhan Chen smiled after seeing her struggle. He didn't have any intention to make her uncomfortable. So, he turned away from her and looked towards Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan.
"Young master Chen, how is your test?", Li Yan asked.
"It is good", Zhan Chen replied. He kept talking with three of them when three old men came to interrupt their conversation.
"Three elders!", the attendant girl stood up from her seat after the anxious looking three elders.
"Young master Chen, please name the price. You can ask for anything. But you have to promise the pill you have concocted", the garrulous elder among the three spoke.
"Elder Ming, you can't.....", the girl was trying to speak something but the other two elders stared at her and she stopped talking.
"What is happening? Looks like something big has happened", she thought to herself.
"Elders, has he passed the exam?", city lord Yueyue asked with a surprised expression on her face. Although she was here to support Zhan Chen due to the unforeseen compulsion, it didn't mean she had lost her mind. An eighteen year old boy, a pill grand master! No sane person would beleive such a thing.
"Ofcourse! He has already passed", the three of them hurriedly declared the test result of Zhan Chen.
A stunned expression appeared on Lan Yueyue's face after hearing the reply of the Alchemy association elders. She turned to look towards Zhan Chen and her heart throbbed after seeing the small smile on Zhan Chen's face.
