Chapter 2033 - Examination (5)

The sound of the flute echoed but everyone was unaware of it. It was as if they didn’t really hear it because their attention was thrown to the scene before them.

In a flash, the world transformed.

The melody stopped, and nobody knew how long they were there for, as they thought that the scenery was too realistic. It was as if it really happened.

The Elders on the platform came to their senses first as they looked at Sima You Yue with confusion.

“You Yue, what you just showed us was…” Ning Tian Ya didn’t finish his sentence as he thought it was unfathomable.

“Yes, that is the origin and departure of Chaos World and it’s situation.” Sima You Yue said.

“Ss—— really!” The elders were all experienced. Although they did not go to Chaos World nor saw anything there, they could guess from the scenes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’ve been to the Chaos World?”

Although there was some power of the sound attack in it, no one would be able to show those images if they hadn’t seen it for themselves.

“Yes, I’ve been there twice.” Sima You Yue continued, “That scene was also seen in that river.”

“No wonder.”

“I didn’t expect that you’d been there, you’re indeed…” Ni Le sighed without finishing his sentence.

“Master, did I pass this round?” Sima You Yue asked.

“You passed.” Yan Lu nodded. The rest hadn’t come back to their senses yet as their visions were still blurred.

“Thank you, Master.” She kept her flute away. After passing this round, nothing else would be harder than this.

“I’m up next.” He Lan calmed herself down as she said, “You may refine a pill that is equivalent to the Eleventh grade.”

The rest slowly came out from the mirage. They blurrily heard their conversation of going into the next test before they managed to discuss what they saw in the mirage.

It wasn’t that hard. Although it was a little difficult to refine an eleventh grade pill, those who came from the Hidden Sect had to know how to refine a tenth grade at the very least.

But before they could be happy for her, He Lan gave her another condition, which was that it had to be refined in less than eight hours.

“Eight hours? How is that possible! Even the fastest eleventh grade pill would take at least a few dozen hours, how is it possible to refine it in eight hours?”

“Don’t be so quick to worry. She should be able to fulfil this if it was requested of her. Didn’t all of you think that it was impossible for her to complete all the tests previously and she passed it too?”

“Seems like it.”

“She’s going to start soon, let’s watch and see.”

Sima You Yue placed her medicinal ingredients on three tables. The time given was short, so she chose the pill that she specialised in, as it would give her less pressure.

She checked all of the medicinal ingredients thoroughly, making sure that she didn’t miss out anything before she started refining the pill.

Purifying, fusing, congealing pills. She memorised all the steps deep into her bones. As it was an advanced graded pill, she would need to purify a lot of medicinal ingredients. And this was the part where it consumed the most time.

She took out the furnace as she ignited the fire and started to purify the medicinal ingredients. She threw in ten different types of medicinal ingredients at once, while those who were watching on the platform were surprised.

“She can actually purify ten different medicinal ingredients at once! I remembered the most powerful Alchemist in the Alchemist Sect could only purify seven or eight medicinal ingredients at once. Only Elders could purify over ten different types and she actually purified ten to twenty different types at once!”

“If she does this, the purifying stage alone could save a lot of time.”

“So it turns out that the Sixth Elder would come out with such a request knowing her ability.”

“Even so, it’s still a little rushed.” Most of them were veterans in the Alchemist Sect and someone immediately calculated the amount of time she would need.

“She doesn’t seem flustered. She must have planned out the timing. Let’s watch.”

They quickly learned about Sima You Yue’s plan. While the medicinal ingredient was purifying, Sima You Yue quickly took out another pill furnace and placed the essences that she had purified and started fusing them.

It was the first time that they witnessed purifying and fusing being carried out at the same time!

“How can she do that? What if she can’t purify it in time for the fusing? Won’t this furnace of pills be wasted!”

The audience felt uneasy as well.This was too reckless! Even the Elders on the platform frowned in disapproval.

“Sixth Elder, isn’t the time too short?” Ni Le protested.

“It’s double the amount of time as compared to the four hours you gave her!” He Lan said.

Ni Le was provoked by her, but she couldn’t provoke her back because she was indeed demanding on the timing she had previously given.

“Why are you worried when You Yue isn’t even worrying?” Lu Yan was confident in Sima You Yue. She would become the Hidden Sect’s legend that no one ever was, if she passed the examination.

“That’s right, I’m the only one who knows how capable You Yue is in refining pills. The rest should just watch quietly.” He Lan smiled as she was in a good mood.

She had already realised that Sima You Yue could purify ten to twenty over medicinal ingredients at once, and she also knew that she had tried purifying and fusing at the same time. So, she knew that the eight hours she gave her was enough.

It was just that it would require a strong mental strength. However, it was nothing to her.

As it was a pill that she had refined many times, she knew how to control the timing for purifying and fusing while she refined. The process went exceptionally smoothly.

Fusing, congealing and absorbing the pill’s thunder went smoothly. When the pill was handed to He Lan, there was still half an hour of time left.

He Lan examined the pill. The end result and quality was not bad.

“Great, you’ve passed my test.” She returned the pill to Sima You Yue.

“Thank you, Master!” Sima You Yue said gratefully.

She wouldn’t have been able to advance so smoothly if He Lan had not taught her so much in recent years.

The audience was happy for her. She would be able to leave Hidden Sect if she passed all her examinations!

However, those on the platform didn’t utter a word. It was as if they didn’t plan to leave.

“I’ll give you half a day to recover your mental power. We’ll continue on with the next one half a day later.” Ning Tian Ya said.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Sima You Yue took a pill and went to the side to adjust her body and rest to recover her mental power.

“What’s the next test?”

“Could it be the Poison Sect test?”

“It should be, I heard that the Poison Sect has invited her to join them a long time ago.”

“That must be it.”

Half a day later, Sima You Yue was recovering well and went back to the arena to prepare for her next test.

But what surprised everyone was that the one who stood up to test her was not the Sect Master of Poison Sect. It was the one who she had a conflict with when she just entered the Sect. It was Qing Cheng, whose grandson was tortured by her for half a year.

Qing Cheng looked at Sima You Yue and asked, “You Yue, are you ready?”
