Chapter 163: The Contest

Seeing Feng Yuqin penetrate his spiritual power with her divine sense, Song Jianming sighed and said, "Since you've signed the papers, let's go to the assessment room."

"President, can I refine pills in public?" Feng Yuqin now understood that this president was the acquaintance Mo Xuanye had told her about.

It was obvious to everyone with eyes that the president was partial to her. She had to use her own strength to silence these people.

Song Jianming stared at Feng Yuqin with a cold and solemn look. Seeing her calm and composed appearance, he hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

The Pill Refining Guild usually made such preparations. So right after Song Jianming's agreement, someone immediately brought out the pill - refining furnace and various pill - refining materials for the assessment.

The two judges for this assessment also showed up.

Song Jianming sat in the middle, and the two judges sat on either side of him.

"Here are three sets of medicinal materials for the Returning Spirit Pill, the Hemostatic Pill, and the Restoring Origin Pill respectively," said one of the judge teachers. "You only have one chance, and the success rate of pill - making must reach 30%."

This was the rule of the Pill Refining Guild, and Feng Yuqin had read about it.

She also knew that some sixth - level pill refiners couldn't make pills successfully in one attempt, and the quality didn't reach 30%. That is to say, even if they succeeded in refining, most of them could only make one pill, and those with slightly better strength could make two. So the requirements for the guest elder were a bit stricter than those for ordinary sixth - level pill refiners. Otherwise, anyone could be a guest elder.

"Can I use my own pill - refining furnace?" Feng Yuqin asked.

"Of course you can," the judge was eager for Feng Yuqin to use her own pill - refining furnace.

"Thank you," Feng Yuqin said and then took out her own pill - refining furnace.

No one had expected that Feng Yuqin had a spatial pouch.

Moreover, the one that could hold her pill - refining furnace definitely couldn't be of low - grade quality.

"Let's start," Song Jianming also said.

Feng Yuqin walked over and began to check the medicinal materials.

Actually, it was correct to check both the medicinal materials and the pill - refining furnace. But since the pill - refining furnace was her own, she skipped that part and directly checked the medicinal materials.

She checked very carefully, but there were still many people on - site who didn't think highly of her.

"I wonder why Feng Yuqin seems to like courting death," someone said.

"Pill refiners usually need a quiet environment to refine pills. But she insists on doing it in front of so many people. Will she blame the environment if she fails?"

"Maybe that's exactly what she's thinking. She'll say everyone was too noisy and it affected her pill - refining when she fails."

"Just look at her pretending to check the materials. I don't think she can refine any pills at all," another on - looker said contemptuously.

"Then she won't be able to leave the Pill Refining Guild unscathed today," said someone with a hint of schadenfreude in their tone.

After all, Feng Yuqin was beautiful and so young. They were around the same age as her, and some were even a few years older. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept that Feng Yuqin could be so much more outstanding than them.

Jealousy could really distort one's appearance.

After the medicinal materials were ready, as soon as Feng Yuqin brought out her flame, Song Jianming was the first to notice something special.

Most of the on - lookers thought Feng Yuqin was just pretending. They were all waiting to watch a joke, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with her flame.

Soon, the judges also discovered that Feng Yuqin had extremely strong control over the flame.

The judge who had spoken earlier whispered to Song Jianming beside him, "President, Feng Yuqin has such strong control over the flame. Even if she can't refine a sixth - level pill today, she will definitely be able to in the future."

It was just a matter of time.

"How do you know she can't refine it?" Song Jianming gave him a cold look and said.

"President, do you mean she can really refine a sixth - level pill?" asked the other judge.

Song Jianming didn't answer, but his meaning was very clear. He believed that Feng Yuqin could refine the pill.

Because when he saw Feng Yuqin's flame, he knew that as long as she didn't lose control, she would definitely be able to refine the pill.

However, he was also very depressed at the same time.

Because he suddenly thought of a problem.

Mo Xuanye had said that if he recommended Feng Yuqin to the Pill Refining Guild, Mo Xuanye would owe him a favor.

But now Feng Yuqin was entering the Pill Refining Guild through a formal assessment. So that favor from Mo Xuanye was out of the question.

Thinking of this, Song Jianming felt like vomiting blood.

Was it easy to get Mo Xuanye to owe a favor?

But Feng Yuqin had just resolved it like this.

"Feihong, she might really be able to refine a sixth - level pill," Ma Guangyao was also a pill refiner. Although his position in the Pill Refining Guild wasn't very high due to his strength, he always felt that Feng Yuqin's smooth pill - refining techniques could produce a sixth - level pill.

"Uncle, are you joking?" Qi Feihong wasn't a pill refiner after all, so he simply didn't think Feng Yuqin could refine any pills.

"Feihong, look at her pill - refining techniques. Aren't they very smooth?" Ma Guangyao pointed at Feng Yuqin and asked.

"So what?" Qi Feihong said indifferently. "It's just for show. If a pill refiner's techniques aren't smooth, how can they refine pills?"

Ma Guangyao felt that he couldn't reason with Qi Feihong.

Since Qi Feihong had never refined pills, he simply didn't know that those who could achieve such smoothness were definitely capable.

So Ma Guangyao felt more and more panicked.

"She still hasn't blown up the furnace?" Some on - lookers didn't think Feng Yuqin could succeed in refining pills, but halfway through the process, the furnace hadn't exploded, so they were quite curious.

"Those who come to compete for the position of guest elder shouldn't blow up the furnace so easily."

"Why on earth does she want to compete for the position of elder? Isn't it good to be a pill refiner?" someone wondered.

"Yeah, she's so young. She could just go for the pill - refiner assessment. After getting the Pill Refining Guild's badge, she would also be a member of the guild."

"After becoming a member of the guild, and then gradually moving up to the position of elder, wouldn't that be more stable?"

"You're right. I think Feng Yuqin is just too impatient. It's actually unnecessary."

"People who are so eager for quick success and instant benefits will always stumble."

"Serves her right."

Xiaoying and Xiaojin glanced at the people who were insulting Feng Yuqin and silently memorized their appearances.

Those people had no idea that they had been resented by Feng Yuqin's two spirit pets. They kept slandering Feng Yuqin, overestimating themselves and bringing humiliation upon themselves.

It wasn't until the fragrance of the pills spread that everyone got excited.

"My God, did Feng Yuqin really succeed in refining pills?"

"This is the fragrance of the pills. Since we can smell it, it means Feng Yuqin has successfully refined the pills."

"It's so amazing. She's only fifteen, right?"

While everyone was still discussing, Feng Yuqin had already taken out the pills from the pill - refining furnace.

However, when she took out the pills, she only picked up five. The remaining twenty - five pills all went into her space.

Xiaoying and Xiaojin of course saw the twenty - five pills flying in.

"What do you think the people outside would look like if they knew the master's success rate was thirty pills?"
