chapter 257
byIn just ten breaths, a pill refiner who took the poisoned pill had a bluish-white complexion. Without warning, the whole person suddenly trembled, and cold sweat broke out on the forehead.
The crowd gasped, never expecting that the medicinal effect of the poisoned pill refined by Master Xiao was so powerful.
Before the exclamation fell, there were actually three puff puff puff sounds of strength on the stage. Immediately after, a strange stench drifted over with the wind.
It was the pill refiner who accidentally let out several loud farts.
Many people who were close didn’t notice for a while and smelled the stench into their noses and mouths. They almost vomited on the spot, and all showed expressions of disgust.
The complexion of the pill refiner who participated in the test turned extremely red in an instant. This was not the effect of the medicinal effect, but because of embarrassment.
In full view of the public, he let out three stinky farts. How could he bear it?
Seeing countless pitying, disgusted, and contemptuous gazes looking at him, this pill refiner suddenly felt ashamed and hurriedly stood up, jumped off the high platform, and fled in a panic like a stray dog.
“He has no ability and actually wants to participate in Master Xiao’s test. He is overreaching himself！”
“He has lost face to his grandmother’s house！”
“Which family’s pill refiner is this? If it spreads out, how can he still be a man in the future?”
The taunting sounds coming from behind were like prickly thorns on his back, making him not dare to stay at all. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the crowd.
Before the crowd could recover from that person’s ugly state, a soft sound of “dong” suddenly came from the high platform. Looking intently, it was seen that the two alchemists who had just taken the poisonous pill actually fell backwards, their eyeballs wide open, maintaining the sitting meditation posture, completely unconscious.
The three young disciples of the Medicine King Valley looked at each other, all snorted coldly, and then walked to the side of these two people, rolled up a foot and kicked them down.
Their attitudes were cold and their expressions were arrogant, as if they were kicking just two objects, not people.
But no one dared to accuse them of anything. In advance, they had been told that the can of pills refined by Master Xiao was poisonous pills. Since they dared to come up and take them, they had to be prepared for the psychological preparation of being poisoned.
“They’re not dead！” Immediately, someone went up to test the breath of these two people and found that they were not dead. They just didn’t know why they were fixed and couldn’t be awakened by shouting.
“So hot, so hot!” Another alchemist suddenly jumped up from the high platform. The exposed skin of the whole person was as red as blood, Youdaoplaceholder0 heat, and the heat was steaming above his head. He tore at his clothes constantly, and in a short while, he was shirtless, but he seemed not to know and still tore.
Dong Qingyan’s pretty face was flushed, and she quickly reached out to cover her eyes.
Several martial artists rushed up from under the platform and dragged that person down with tieqing faces. These martial artists should be from the same family as that alchemist and didn’t want to see him make a fool of himself anymore.
In less than thirty breaths of time, the first batch of alchemists who went up to test the pills were all wiped out！
All kinds of states of beings. The symptoms after being poisoned were also strange and varied. Such a tragic encounter not only did not stop the alchemists’ determination to worship Yunyin Peak, but instead made them even more enthusiastic.
The batch of poison pills refined by Xiao Fusheng were clearly the same kind of pills, but they could produce so many effects. It really lived up to the master’s handwriting.
Precisely because of this, these alchemists who came felt that Master Xiao’s alchemy methods were unpredictable and unfathomable to ordinary people.
After this batch of people left the stage gloomy, thirty more people went up swish swish.
As time passed, people were constantly poisoned. Some were unconscious, some were in a sorry state. More than two hundred people went on stage one after another, and not a single one passed the test set by Master Xiao safely.
The entire test site was filled with a gloomy and miserable atmosphere.
Another group of people were poisoned. Among them, a alchemist whose body became as stiff as a stone after being poisoned but whose consciousness was still clear shouted loudly： “I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced！ How can just one poisonous pill test my extraordinary qualifications？ I’m not convinced！ I want to go to Cloud Hidden Peak to see Master Xiao. Master Xiao, please give this junior a chance！”
“Drag him down！” Qin Ze coldly shouted.
The three young disciples of Medicine King Valley had a cold expression. They walked up to this person and directly threw him off the high platform.
That person still kept shouting： “Master Xiao, I can inherit your mantle. Please give this junior a chance！”
“This group of people has all gone crazy.” Yang Kai watched coldly from the side and kept shaking his head.
Dong Qingyan softly said： “You don’t know Master Xiao’s prestige in the alchemy world, so you would say that. Look at that person. Even though he is in such an ugly state and it’s unbearable to look at, has anyone laughed at him？”
Yang Kai turned his head to look and found that indeed no one was taunting him. Most people had a plain expression, and quite a few had a look of sympathy on their faces.
“In the eyes of us alchemists, the master is a supreme existence. To become his disciple, what does it matter if we suffer a little and lose some face? Dong Qingyan gently bit her red lips, and her face was full of tension and anticipation.
“Are you sure you want to go up and take that poisonous pill?” Yang Kai chuckled: “You’ve also seen the reactions of those people. Falling unconscious directly is still considered good. If you can’t pass this test and tear off your own clothes on the spot…”
Dong Qingyan’s pretty face immediately paled a lot.
“Well, the people gathered here are all young people. I think they would definitely like to see that scene. Tsk tsk, the eldest daughter of the Dong family with messy clothes, this after-dinner conversation topic is very good.”
“It shouldn’t be that bad…”
“Even if it’s not like that, if you let out a few loud farts in public…”
“Stop talking！” Dong Qingyan’s face changed with horror.
No matter which kind of ugly state it is, it is not something that a girl like her can accept. This is a shadow for a lifetime. Once it happens, you won’t be able to hold your head up in the future.
Glaring at Yang Kai fiercely, Dong Qingyan waved her small fist： “I knew you had bad intentions and wanted me to go back to my brother, but I just want to try this test. I have prepared for this day for a long, long time. Since I have already come here, how can I give up？”
As she spoke, her voice softened again, and she said with a red face： “If it’s really like what you said… you have to take me away early…”
Yang Kai shook his head slightly. It seems that his cousin is determined to go on stage. No matter how much he dissuades her now, it will be useless.
Another burst of exclamation came from the crowd： “Earth-level high-grade alchemist！ Isn’t this the alchemy genius Wang Qiren cultivated by the Wang family？ He’s also here？”
“If it’s him, I’m afraid he can really pass Master Xiao’s test.”
“Yes, this is a bit interesting now.”
“Look at that one, the earth-level middle-grade alchemist, he was cultivated by the Xiong family.”
That one is also a middle-rank alchemist from the Chang family.
“The alchemists of the great families are finally going to take action. The good show is on.”
The group of alchemists who went up this time were all young alchemists cultivated by those great families and great forces themselves. They came here to inherit Xiao Fusheng’s mantle.
The people who went up just now were all alchemists from small places. It was normal that no one could pass the test. Now, seeing this group of people come on stage, many people are looking forward to it.
The crowd was talking noisily, and the sound reached the ears of more than a dozen middle and upper-rank alchemists on the stage. These young people all showed proud expressions.
They also showed good upbringing. After going up to the high platform, they first bowed to Qin Ze and performed the disciple’s ceremony. Then they stepped forward one by one and stood still in front of the medicine cauldron.
“Brother Wang, please go first. Among us, only Brother Wang has reached the level of a uply-rank alchemist. He should come first.” The alchemist of the Chang family smiled and stretched out his hand to signal. The others also echoed.
Wang Qiren smiled slightly and said with a bow, “In that case, then I, Wang, will not be polite.”
After speaking, he also turned around and bowed distantly in the direction of Yunyin Peak. Then he stretched out his hand to take out a poisonous pill, put it into his mouth without any care, and walked aside to sit down and refine it.
His attitude clearly showed that he was determined to pass this test and had a well-thought-out plan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bowed in the direction of Yunyin Peak.
That was the peak where Xiao Fusheng lived.
The three disciples of Yaowanggu, observing the situation, couldn’t help but sneer.
So what if he was a top-quality alchemist? Even if a Tianji alchemist took the poison pill refined by Uncle Xiao, something would happen if his qualifications wasn’t good enough.
This Wang Qiren really thought highly of himself！ The three exchanged glances and sneered secretly, waiting for the situation to develop and preparing to watch Wang Qiren’s joke.
Soon, all these people took the poison pills and found their positions to sit down.
While the people on the stage were resolving the medicinal effects, the onlookers also held their breath and stretched their necks to watch more nervous than if they were taking the test themselves.
As expected of the alchemists from large forces, each of them had extraordinary attainments and considerable qualifications. The people who went up to take the test before could only hold on for at most half a cup of tea time.
But these people only had a reaction after a full cup of tea.
First, alchemist suddenly foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness.
Then someone rushed out of the platform, and several muffled fart sounds came from a distance.
One after another, these alchemists from large forces all had problems. This result left everyone dumbfounded.
It’s not that these people are overrated, but that the difficulty of the test set by Master Xiao has exceeded everyone’s imagination.
After a stick of incense, only Wang Qiren was left on the high platform persevering, and everyone else had left in dismay.
Countless people’s hearts were tense. If Wang Qiren couldn’t pass this test, they really didn’t know who else could.
After a long time, Wang Qiren’s body suddenly moved, and a touch of faint black air appeared between his brows.
Qin Ze, who had been sitting there motionless like a mountain since the test started, suddenly had his eyes focus, and a flash of sharp light flashed in his eyes, staring closely at Wang Qiren’s reaction.
As time passed, that touch of black air became more and more obvious and solid.
Suddenly, the black air disappeared without a trace, but instead Wang Qiren spat out a mouthful of black blood with a wow sound!
A cry of surprise came from the crowd. Wang Qiren’s reaction was the first time seen so far, and it was not known whether he had passed the test or not.
Several martial artists from the Wang family hurriedly rushed up and came to Wang Qiren’s side in a hurry.
Wang Qiren waved his hand, stood up with difficulty, and looked at Qin Ze with a hint of anticipation on his face.
Qin Ze sighed softly： “Failed！”
Wang Qiren’s face darkened, but he still didn’t give up. He cupped his fists and asked, “Dare to ask senior, how can one pass the test？”
Seeing that he was also considered a talent for alchemy, Qin Ze was rather patient and said one more sentence： “Actually, you were only one step away from passing just now. It’s a pity… you fell short at the last moment！”
“I’ve been taught！” Wang Qiren smiled bitterly and jumped off the high platform with those several martial artists.
