that person let out a miserable cry as he was slapped into the stone wall behind him. he fainted, causing a burst of startled cries.
gou jiba? he was definitely looking for a beating. otherwise, why would he state such a name? long chen was speechless.
“senior, brother jiba wasn’t trying to waste your time. his name really is gou jiba. his father is the illustrious gou ridi,” explained someone hastily.
hearing that, everyone’s expressions became exceedingly odd. gou ridi[1]? gou jiba? were you certain he wasn’t just wasting everyone’s time with nonsense?
“the jiluo prefecture’s gou family?” asked the elder with sudden comprehension.
“yes.”
“cough, ah, sorry. it was a misunderstanding. as expected, the gou family’s people really are amazing,” said the elder awkwardly.
at this time, others had long since helped gou jiba up and given him a healing pill. he gradually recovered.
“senior, this junior truly is called gou jiba. the ji refers to jiluo prefecture’s blue sea, while the ba refers to pushing oneself to seek the heavens’ will,” said gou jiba extremely sullenly.
“it was my fault. let’s continue. name?”
“gou jiba.”
“origin?”
“jiluo prefecture’s alchemist guild.”
“alright, take the test.”
“age: thirty-one. excellent. spiritual strength: seventh tier earth class. excellent. the gou family’s people really are not bad.”
the elder nodded with praise and wrote down a new rank: outstanding.
acceptable. excellent. outstanding. now there was a third rank. this gou jiba was truly not bad.
gou jiba laughed heartily. but that ended up causing him pain as it pulled on his injury, and tears squeezed out of his eyes as if his extreme joy had turned to sorrow.
the failures all left sadly. the remaining people all had pleased smiles, which contained some ridicule toward those people who were still nervously waiting.
out of gou jiba’s group of eight, four had failed and four had succeeded. the four failures could only leave, but the other four didn’t reveal any mourning. after some fake words of comfort, they said nothing more.
“name.”
“duan tianqiao.”
long chen turned to see a female alchemist with surprise. she wasn’t tall, but she had a delicate figure. she was extremely unremarkable in the crowd.
now that she was pointed out, she drew everyone’s attention. due to the fact that women were on the yin side but pill flame was on the yang side, female alchemists were rare.
even the elder was surprised. he examined her and continued, “origin?”
“lihua prefecture’s alchemist guild.”
“take the test.”
“yes.”
she smiled and confidently walked up to the stairs. light enveloped her.
“no.” long chen shook his head.
“this is the centennial pill emperor competition. it is to determine the true emperor amongst pill emperors. are you sure you want to participate?” asked the elder.
“the true emperor amongst pill emperors? will there be a good reward?” long chen’s eyes shone. he hadn’t expected to run into something that good.
the elder didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, feeling like this foolish mountain brat didn’t understand anything.
“let’s not talk about the reward for now. let’s see if you have the qualifications to even enter. we’re going to test your age and spiritual strength.”
the elder directly left a blank space for long chen’s origin and moved on to the next section.
long chen walked up the steps. gou jiba immediately sneered, waiting to see long chen’s embarrassment.
“age: eighteen.”
everyone was stupefied, looking at long chen like he was a freak. this dumb mountain brat was only eighteen years old? had there been a mistake? even the elder felt like something was wrong and redid the test, only to receive the same result.
“eighteen-year-old brat and he reached the xiantian realm. isn’t this just nonsense?”
“how could an alchemist cultivate so quickly? he didn’t train his soul energy? is he even an alchemist?”
clamor erupted. alchemists couldn’t cultivate quickly, because their cultivation base was secondary. their spiritual strength and pill flame were more important.
if they cultivated too fast, their alchemy skills wouldn’t be able to keep up. they would be crippling their future. so alchemists would all spend a great deal of time training their pill flame and spiritual strength. duan tianqiao’s age had already been the limit.
long chen couldn’t possibly be a real alchemist. no one would believe such an absurdity.
“shut up! if you make such an uproar again, i’ll immediately expel you!” shouted the elder.
this elder was a sea expansion expert and a powerful alchemist. his spiritual strength was extremely powerful, and he sensed that long chen was different.
“now let’s test your spiritual strength,” said the elder.
a small portal appeared in front of long chen. he felt a powerful pressure that was trying to suppress his spiritual strength. it was no wonder those people had been so confident but still failed. the problem lay here.
it seemed this test was completely different from what they had taken before. long chen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he slowly sent in his spiritual strength.
when long chen’s spiritual strength touched the portal, the entire stone bloomed with light.
“this is... heaven class! first tier heaven class spiritual strength!” cried the elder with wild delight.
heaven class?
everyone turned wooden. gou jiba looked especially amazing. his jaw could not drop any lower, and his eyes were almost circular.
eighteen-year-old xiantian expert? spiritual strength that had reached the first tier heaven class? was this just a story?
the elder directly wrote down a fourth rank for long chen’s talent: genius!
acceptable, excellent, outstanding, and genius. long chen’s rank was the highest until now.
long chen smiled slightly. this was just the slightest bit of his soul energy. if he had used his full strength, that stone would have instantly exploded. that would probably frighten a few of these people to death.
but doing so would be too much and not be favorable for his plans. after the registration, long chen asked around and found that there was a total of three days for registration. there were still many more people to come, and long chen was too lazy to watch them. saying goodbye to the elder, he left.
once he returned to the small alley, he suddenly noticed there were many more burly fellows than before. at the same time, he heard a wail from the small courtyard he was staying at. he quickened his footsteps.
“if you’re sensible, you’ll immediately scram!” suddenly, two large men blocked his path.
