Chapter 230 So Depressed
After Chen Hao had made his oath, he sat down not far behind Li Xuan. He lowered his head silently, waiting for his aptitude to be tested, waiting for him to soar into the sky.
The higher-ups of the Divine Pill Sect were also paying attention to Chen Hao. Naturally, they would pay special attention to the second person to reach the peak.
For example, Elder Song was very interested in Chen Hao’s resolute face.
The main reason was that Elder Song’s experience was to temper himself. Chen Hao gave him a feeling that he was constantly tempering himself and was suitable to be tempered more.
However, he was in no hurry to speak. After the aptitude test was completed, it was time to choose a disciple.
Therefore, the elders chose to wait, waiting for everyone to arrive.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, a third person appeared. This was a plump girl. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her skin was fair and her figure was plump.
Her appearance instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Even Chen Hao looked at the chubby girl. “Why? Are you tempted? This girl is indeed very beautiful, especially with her plump body.” A deep male voice sounded in Chen Hao’s mind.
“Everyone has a heart that loves beauty. Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful girl? Can’t you see that the elders are all watching?”
Chen Hao secretly replied as he could not help but look at the plump girl.
In this world where fatness was considered beauty, this girl could be considered very beautiful, especially since she was not too fat, but just slightly plump.
This kind of physique was the most attractive. Even Chen Hao was somewhat moved.
Unfortunately, the plump girl seemed to be very arrogant. She did not even look at the crowd. Instead, she came to a place not far from Li Xuan and found a place to stand.
It seemed that this girl was quite interested in the Perception Beast and Li Xuan. This caused Chen Hao’s heart to feel stifled again, and for some reason, he felt a little irritated.
Time continued to pass, and more and more people came to the top of the mountain.
However, a lot of people could not bear the enormous pressure and gave up. In the end, only a few hundred people went up the mountain.
These several hundred people had experienced the pressure, and their essence, energy, and spirit had undergone a transformation. It was obvious that they had improved compared to before. In the future, even if they were unable to enter the sect, they would still benefit greatly.
“Alright, next is the test of Alchemy aptitude. We’ll start from here.” Elder Song stood up and announced loudly.
Elder Song had originally wanted to be the first to test Li Xuan, but after some thought, he decided to test someone else. After all, after Li Xuan’s test was over, everyone would be fighting over him.
“Bring up the test crystal ball!”
“Yes!”
A purple crystal ball that two people were hugging was brought up and placed at the very front, emitting a brilliant purple halo.
This crystal ball was extremely mystical. The light it emitted seemed to be able to affect one’s Soul Power. This caused Li Xuan to squint his eyes.
“The test begins!”
Following Elder Song’s voice, the group on the left began the test. They walked to the side of the purple crystal ball and placed their right hand on it.
Buzz!
Following a series of buzzing sounds, the crystal ball displayed the results of the test. “No talent in Alchemy. Failed!”
“Talent in Alchemy is weak. Failed!”
“Talent in Alchemy is low. Can be accepted as a part-time disciple.”
“Talent in Alchemy is medium. can be accepted as an outer sect disciple.”
As the tests continued, everyone’s talent was reported. Some were happy while others were worried. Most of them left in disappointment.
Not everyone could have talent in Alchemy. It was said that ten out of a hundred people would be considered pretty good. That was why 90% of the people had been eliminated. Only 10% remained. They stood by the side happily, waiting to be arranged. Soon, more than an hour had passed. The test team was still going on, testing everyone continuously.
However, the higher-ups of the Divine Pine Sect frowned. The disciples this year were too lacking in talent. There were too many people with poor talent, and there were very few with high-grade talent.
At that moment, there were only four disciples with high-grade talent. Compared to the previous years, there were quite a few people lacking
“No talent in Alchemy. Failed!” “Talent in Alchemy is weak. Failed!”
“Low-grade talent in Alchemy. Can be accepted as a part-time disciple.”
“High-grade talent in Alchemy. Can be accepted as an inner disciple.”
“Phew, another high-grade talent finally appeared. Now there are five. It’s not easy.” An elder let out a sigh of relief.
“It is indeed not easy. However, with five high-grade talents, it can be considered to have reached the minimum qualifying level.”. “Don’t forget, there’s also Li Xuan over there. His talent is very exciting.”
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it too.”
The elders discussed animatedly and looked at Li Xuan in the distance with great anticipation. They were all filled with confidence in Li Xuan.
Time passed once again. The test for several hundred people gradually came to an end. Only Li Xuan, the plump girl, and Chen Hao, who had yet to be tested, were left.
Li Xuan did not hesitate. He quickly walked to the front of the crystal ball and placed his right hand on the crystal ball in anticipation.
Weng!
A bright purple light flashed, causing the atmosphere in the venue to sink into tension.
Following this light, a line of words quickly appeared on the crystal ball.
[ Alchemy aptitude, excellent! ]
An uproar broke out in the venue.
Those who had passed the test all looked at Li Xuan in shock. At the same time, they nodded their heads as if it was only natural.
To be able to become an Elementary Level Alchemist at this age, his talent must be outstanding. It was only natural that he had excellent pill refining aptitude.
“Good, good, good. Finally, an excellent aptitude has appeared. That’s great. Hahaha, Li Xuan, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
The sect master of the Divine Pill Sect stood up and laughed heartily as he looked at Li Xuan.
“Ahem, Li Xuan, I have a lot of pill formulas. If you like to refine pills, you can take me as your master. I have enough pill formulas.” The grand elder coughed and said.
“Li Xuan, be my disciple. That girl Ke’er really wants to have a junior brother.” Elder Song stood up and began to play the emotional card.
“Li Xuan, come to my lineage. My lineage doesn’t need experience and can focus wholeheartedly on Alchemy. I will teach you my unique medicinal pill, the Youth Retaining Pill.”
The female elder opened her mouth and took out her most precious medicinal pill to attract Li Xuan.
The remaining elders did not hesitate either. Each of them promised a large sum of money. The seventh elder even said that he would give Li Xuan two fat handmaidens.
“Seventh elder, aren’t you shameless? You even gave away your women?” Elder Song said with some dissatisfaction.
“Hmph, if you have the ability, then show it too,” the seventh elder retorted.
“I’ll show it then!”
Elder Song shouted angrily. Just as he was about to say something, he saw his granddaughter peeking from behind a large tree in the distance. Elder Song shook his head and decided to give up. There was nothing he could do. His granddaughter was too skinny. No one would like her physique. Most importantly, his granddaughter liked girls, so Elder Song could only shake his head. Next, the higher-ups fought over Li Xuan again, promising all kinds of benefits and waiting for Li Xuan’s response.
Not far away, Chen Hao gritted his teeth as he watched. He felt extremely depressed.
He originally thought that he was going to soar into the sky and reveal his talent.
He did not expect Li Xuan to be the first to show his talent. This made Chen Hao depressed and wanted to hit the wall.
