Chapter 258
byAnother was completely wiped out.
Even a alchemy prodigy like Wang Qiren failed to pass Master Xiao’s test. This result greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.
After Wang Qiren left in dismay, the scene was quiet for a long time, and no one dared to go on stage again.
No one had the confidence to pass the test set by Master Xiao and didn’t dare to go on stage to make a fool of themselves.
The people from Medicine King Valley were unhurried from beginning to end. If no one went on stage, they just stood there waiting.
Yang Kai glanced at Dong Qingyan and found that her two small hands were constantly clenching and opening. It was clearly a manifestation of being extremely nervous. There was a somewhat eager expression on her face, but also a bit of lack of confidence.
A top-grade Earth-level alchemist had failed. Could she, a middle-grade Mortal-level one, succeed if she went up？
“Some things, if missed, may be regretted for a lifetime！” Yang Kai said lightly.
Dong Qingyan’s delicate body trembled. She turned her head to look at Yang Kai, a hint of deep thought flashed in her eyes, and then her eyes became firm. She took a deep breath and said, “En, let’s go up！”
Yang Kai smiled slightly and, together with Dong Qingyan, both jumped onto the high platform at the same time.
Seeing that there were still people who dared to go on stage, there was immediately a burst of shouts from below. The encouraging shouts came from afar, making Dong Qingyan smile shyly.
However, immediately afterwards, someone discovered her rank through the embroidery on her chest.
“She’s only a Mortal Rank Intermediate Alchemist…”
“With such a low rank, she’s probably going to make a fool of herself again.”
“Poor little girl. If she makes a fool of herself in public, how will she have the face to be a person in the future？”
……
Dong Qingyan heard these words and gritted her red lips tightly, not saying a word.
The three young disciples of the Medicine King Valley smiled at her rarely. A beautiful woman can win favor wherever she goes.
“Please, girl！”
Dong Qingyan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, walked to the medicine cauldron, reached out and took out a Poison Pill, looked back at Yang Kai, and had a look of consultation on her face.
Yang Kai nodded faintly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll watch from the side first.”
If Dong Qingyan really couldn’t pass the test, he would definitely take her away. He couldn’t really let her lose face in public.
Apart from the disciples of the Medicine King Valley on the high platform, there were only Dong Qingyan and Yang Kai. And Yang Kai’s outfit clearly shows that it’s this woman’s sidekick. The few disciples of the Medicine King Valley didn’t immediately drive people away.
Dong Qingyan took a deep breath, put the Poison Pill into her mouth, swallowed it with a cruel heart, and then walked aside and sat cross-legged to work to resolve the medicinal effect.
Yang Kai, with his hands behind his back, stood there like a javelin, vigilantly observing the movements of Dong Qingyan.
Half a cup of tea passed, and she showed no reaction.
A cup of tea passed, and she still had no reaction.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and secretly released his spiritual consciousness to sweep over Dong Qingyan, only to find that the spiritual energy in her body was flowing rapidly, incinerating some impurities in her meridians.
These impurities should be the toxins contained in the poisonous pill.
“Eh, this girl is not bad! She has persisted for so long!” Someone below was extremely surprised.
Among the hundreds of people who came up before, except for the alchemists of those big families, few could persist for so long. Moreover, there were also ordinary-level alchemists who came up before. Those people could persist for more than ten breaths, which was already remarkable. But Dong Qingyan’s performance made everyone look at her with new eyes.
“How did she do it？ This is another genius suitable for alchemy, not inferior to that Wang Qiren at all.”
“I know her. She is Dong Qingyan, the eldest daughter of the Dong family！”
“What, the young lady of the Dong family？”
Amid the exclamation of the crowd, a faint black qi suddenly appeared between Dong Qingyan’s eyebrows. Quickly this black qi became rich, and then, the black qi moved rapidly and disappeared into her body. Instead, Dong Qingyan suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a visible black breath.
After spitting out a mouthful of breath, Dong Qingyan opened her big eyes in surprise.
Qin Ze suddenly stood up from the chair, and a smile finally bloomed on his always stern face. He repeatedly praised： “Not bad, not bad. Finally, someone has passed Uncle Xiao’s test！”
Passed？
Hundreds of people were silent, almost unbelievable.
There were probably more than three hundred alchemists from all over the world who came to the stage one after another. Among them, there were some extremely talented prodigies, and even the existence of a alchemist. But all those people failed inexplicably.
Now an ordinary mid-grade alchemist has actually passed unharmed? What kind of mystery and wonder is hidden in this?
Dong Qingyan was also dumbfounded, blinking her big eyes and looking at Qin Ze in surprise.
Yang Kai coughed lightly and said： “Miss, this senior said that you have passed the master’s test.”
“Wh… what？” Dong Qingyan still didn’t seem to have come back to her senses.
Qin Ze changed his previous cold look and became very kind with a smile: Girl, congratulations on passing the test. From now on, you are my Uncle Xiao’s disciple! Um… Qin should also call you Junior Sister!
Dong Qingyan was stunned for a long time.
Then she suddenly jumped up, crying with joy, covering her face with her hands, and her eye sockets immediately turned red.
Happiness came too suddenly, and the little girl obviously wasn’t mentally prepared.
For a long time, she was at a loss and didn’t know what to say, but the tears streamed down.
After being shy for a long time, Dong Qingyan said to Qin Ze： “Yan’er has met Senior Brother Qin！”
Qin Ze laughed heartily： “Junior Sister is polite！ That Senior Uncle Xiao can accept you as a disciple is also a blessing for our Medicine King Valley.”
The two exchanged greetings for a while, and the atmosphere immediately became much more harmonious, which made the group of people below dumbfounded.
When had they ever seen Qin Ze of the Medicine King Valley be so kind to others？ Every time they asked him to refine pills, he would put on a straight face as if everyone in the world owed him money.
But now, this guy’s back molars were showing when he smiled.
It turned out that it wasn’t that he couldn’t smile, but that they and others hadn’t caught his eye.
“Since Junior Sister has passed Senior Uncle Xiao’s test, then she can be regarded as a disciple of our Medicine King Valley. If there is nothing else, after this matter is over, you can come with us into the Medicine King Valley. If there is something, please deal with it as soon as possible.” Qin Ze said with a smile.
Dong Qingyan nodded. She wanted to worship into the Medicine King Valley and always had to inform the Dong family. But things had come to this point, and she believed that her brother would definitely not stop her anymore.
Being able to enter the Medicine King Valley was also a matter of increasing the face of the Dong family. Just think about it, no matter which force in the world wanted to have a good relationship with the Medicine King Valley, but the eldest lady of the Dong family was already the personal disciple of Master Xiao of the Medicine King Valley. This was a advantage that no one could compare to.
“Senior Brother, Yan’er wants her bodyguard to give it a try as well.” Dong Qingyan glanced at Yang Kai and said.
“Bodyguard？” Qin Ze furrowed his brows and casually cast a glance at Yang Kai. Although he didn’t show much disgust, the disdain in his eyes was obvious.
“This bodyguard of Yan’er has protected me since childhood, so…”
Qin Ze gave her a meaningful look, clearly misunderstanding that she had developed feelings over time.
He didn’t delve deeper into it, but just nodded and said, “Since he wants to give it a try, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the number of poisonous pills refined by Senior Uncle Xiao is not small.”
After that, he casually asked, “What level of alchemist is he？”
Dong Qingyan blushed and said, “He can’t refine pills…”
“Can’t refine pills…” Qin Ze’s expression suddenly turned a bit ugly, and he scolded, “What’s the point of coming to try if you can’t refine pills? Do you really take alchemy as a joke? Our Medicine King Valley is not so easy to enter. Without the heart for alchemy, how can you pass the test? There’s no need to try.”
Yang Kai looked at him indifferently and said, “I dare to ask if Senior Xiao ever said that those without alchemy experience are not allowed to participate when setting up this test？”
Qin Ze sneered and said, “Senior Uncle didn’t say such a thing. But since you have never learned the art of alchemy before, you naturally won’t go far on this path in the future. Without the intention of devoting your life to alchemy, don’t come here to make trouble. This is not a place for you to play.”
Yang Kai’s expression moved slightly, and he said faintly, “As far as I know, Master Xiao himself didn’t come into contact with the art of alchemy until he was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. I’m only seventeen this year, ten years younger than Master Xiao back then.”
These news were all heard just now when others were talking.
Qin Ze frowned, and his expression was rather displeased.
Immediately someone below cursed, “Who the hell are you, how dare you compare yourself with Master Xiao.
Master Xiao has a natural talent and was born for alchemy. Not to mention that he only came into contact with alchemy at the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven, even if he did it at the age of forty or fifty, it wouldn’t be too late. What virtue and ability do you have to compare with the master？”
Stop arguing！” Qin Ze shouted angrily, and immediately it became quiet below.
Looking deeply at Yang Kai, not saying a word, after a long while, he nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. Since my uncle didn’t say that only alchemists must participate in the test, you also count as having the qualifications. Go and get a poisonous pill yourself.”
Yang Kai nodded. Amid the cold laughter of the three Medicine King Valley disciples, he took out a poisonous pill and directly threw it into his mouth.
Dong Qingyan looked at him nervously. Yang Kai smiled slightly and walked aside and sat down.
Operating the True Yang Art, the scorching feeling spread out. Qin Ze’s eyebrows raised when he saw this, and he couldn’t help but nod secretly.
Although he had looked down on Yang Kai a little earlier, now that he felt his true essence, he knew that this youngster was not simple. At such a young age, he had already reached the True Yuan Realm. This kind of talent was not something that ordinary people could match. If he did not concentrate on the art of alchemy but concentrated on martial arts, he would surely achieve great things in the future.
Even a mere bodyguard is so powerful? The Dong family has profound heritage. Qin Ze was really surprised.
As soon as that poisonous pill entered his abdomen, Yang Kai felt it completely melt and directly rush into his meridians.
As expected of being personally refined by a great master. The efficacy of this medicine takes effect really fast. Not to mention that Yang Kai is now at the second level of the True Yuan Realm. Even a martial artist who has just reached the Kaiyuan Realm, as long as he circulates his vitality, can effortlessly absorb the efficacy of the medicine.
The efficacy of the medicine flowed in the meridians and was tempered and burned by the True Yang vitality, unable to harm himself in the slightest.
After several cycles of rotation, Yang Kai felt that these toxins had completely lost their effect and rushed all the way up to the top of his head, gathering into a turbid qi in his mouth.
After being stunned for a moment, Yang Kai secretly shouted that something was wrong.
Dong Qingyan had just spent the time of a cup of tea to pass the test, which had already made Qin Ze a little out of control. If he passed the test after several days, who knew what kind of storm would have caused.
The speed was too fast！
Thinking of this, Yang Kai held the mouthful of turbid qi in his mouth and did not spit it out, while continuing to operate the cultivation method as if nothing had happened.
