After the second round of alchemy, Yue Jinghua had quickly gone from being eye-catching to the bottom-ranking participant. Everyone thought that Lie Sisi would be the winner of today’s Pill Master selection. "Feng Chuo, ten Blood Circulation Pills, excellent performance, proceeding to the next round," Just as everyone was discussing who would ultimately win the third round, an unfamiliar name entered their ears. Ten pills, also ten pills, a one hundred percent pill success rate? Feng Chuo, where did this person come from? Lie Sisi furrowed her brows and looked toward a lean man not far away. The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, looked malnourished like bean sprouts, and was dressed cleanly, clearly indicating a poor background. Yue Jinghua noticed that Feng Chuo’s Elixir Furnace was also very worn-out, an old bronze tripod that was obviously picked over by others. Seeing Yue Jinghua looking at him, Feng Chuo nodded kindly. His Elixir Fire Array was right behind Yue Jinghua, and he had seen the entire process of her alchemy earlier. Seeing that she also chose an old tripod, Feng Chuo thought she was in the same boat, "When you do alchemy later, use intense fire in the beginning and Dark Fire later." "Oh oh, ugly, this person thinks you’re a newbie in alchemy, you’ve been made fun of," Gold Eater Worm teased. Earlier, when making the Blood Circulation Pills, Yue Jinghua deliberately sabotaged a few, little did anyone know that making exactly six pills was as tricky as aiming for exactly sixty percent on a test. "Thank you for your kindness, brother," Yue Jinghua couldn’t communicate with Divine Sense like Gold Eater Worm, and during a break in alchemy, she warmly engaged in conversation with Feng Chuo. It turned out that Feng Chuo’s family lived in the suburbs of Polo City, and he learned his Alchemy Technique from an elder alchemist in the village at the Initial Stage. "I heard that becoming a Pill Master would allow me to earn a salary. There has never been a proper Pill Master in our village, and once I get the salary, I’ll build an alchemy room," Feng Chuo scratched his head embarrassedly, his initial motivation for learning alchemy was because the profession was lucrative. Just by building an alchemy room for the village, he could enable more children to become Pill Medicine Boys and even Pill Masters, making the village prosperous. His life story was quite similar to that of Feng Wanwan, and Yue Jinghua developed a good impression of him. "Keep up the effort, your village will definitely have a school sooner or later," Yue Jinghua heartily slapped Feng Chuo on the shoulder. "Shameless, just met for how long, and already pulling and dragging," Fa Xiaoyi rolled her eyes, Lie Sisi looked venomously at Feng Chuo. Although Yue Jinghua’s Alchemy Skill seemed mediocre, this shabbily dressed Pill Master posed a certain threat to her. Lie Sisi put on a smiling face and walked up to a male Pill Master behind Feng Chuo, speaking in a tender voice: "Big brother, the Alchemy Fire over there is too intense, making me dizzy. Could you please swap your Elixir Fire Array with me?" Seeing a beautiful woman taking the initiative to ask for help and hearing her sweet plea, the Pill Master, flushed with excitement like he had drunk aged wine, immediately agreed. Seeing Lie Sisi’s actions, Yue Jinghua kept her guard up and was just about to warn Feng Chuo when Lady Yao announced the start of the third round of alchemy. Seeing it was too late to intervene, Yue Jinghua had to retreat to her own Elixir Fire Array, regretting that such a talent like Feng Chuo had to be sacrificed in this Imperial Alchemist assessment, as she had to win no matter what, leaving the "Hope Project Man" in a difficult situation. However, another idea emerged in Yue Jinghua’s mind; her small pharmacy was thriving, and managing alchemy alone was strenuous and taxing. It might be better to hire a full-time alchemist. Feng Chuo was honest, and with only the guidance of an entry-level alchemist, he had reached today’s accomplishments. If trained properly in the future, he could definitely become a commendable alchemist. The third round of the pill test, the making of True Dark Pill, officially began. Lie Sisi breathed out and selected five medicinal ingredients. The True Dark Pill had been her nightmare for a long time. But now with the Golden Toad Tripod, everything was different. Lie Sisi raised her eyes and looked around; most Pill Masters immediately started their alchemy after selecting their ingredients. Feng Chuo, who had already started, did his alchemy somewhat differently from others. Under his control, the Elixir Fire Array sometimes dimmed and sometimes brightened, achieving the peak efficiency of the medicinal properties in the varying fires. The hardest part of making the True Dark Pill lies in the alchemy of the five medicinal herbs, which are antagonistic in nature. If the mixing ratio is even slightly uneven, the Elixir Body will explode.
