Alchemy & Martial Supreme

The apprentice alchemist nicknamed Monkey glanced at Qin Ming and curled his lips in disdain.    

He had noticed Qin Ming a long time ago. In these seven days, other than knowing Qin Ming's name, he knew nothing else.    

Qin Ming did not speak to them, nor did he look at the other fellow apprentices preparing the medicine.    

It was as if he wasn't in the same world as them. He was only focused on his own work.    

However, there was nothing much to do about dividing the Source Plant.    

The three of them completed their mission in an hour.    

Qin Ming, on the other hand, took the Source Plant and looked left and right. He even put it in his mouth to try it. He really did not know what he wanted to do.    

He came the earliest every day. He waited until this place was closed before he finally completed the task of sorting it out.    

After waiting for a while, Qi Yi walked in with his hands behind his back.    

When they saw Qi Yi, they stood up straight. Qin Ming also put down the Source Plant and looked at Qi Yi.    

"Alright, Qin Ming, stay here. The rest of you can leave now."    

Just as they were about to bow, Qi Yi waved his hand and said.    

"This..." Other than Qin Ming, everyone else was stunned.    

Didn't they agree to take the test?    

Why did he let them leave without saying a word?    

Should they take the test to teach Qin Ming alone?    

But it didn't look like it!    

"Don't you understand?" Qi Yi raised his head and looked at the three of them. "You have failed the test. Your talent is not good enough. If you can't become an Alchemist, you should not waste your time here."    

Hearing this, the three of them had ugly expressions on their faces.    

One of the disciples, monkey, had a cold expression on his face as he took a step forward and bowed to Qi Yi. He said, "Elder Qi, I heard that you are highly respected, but I didn't expect that you would have such high prestige. You are such a person."    

"Even if you want to help Qin Ming get in through the back door, you have to at least show some respect and teach him a lesson."    

"Besides, Qin Ming doesn't have the talent for alchemy. No matter how much resources you spend, what's the use?"    

"Now that Qin Ming has taken the backdoor and successfully became an apprentice apothecary, what happens after that?"    

He looked like he was trying to reason with Qin Ming.    

The other two looked at Qin Ming with eyes full of disgust.    

No matter where they were, people who broke the rules would be despised.    

"Back door?" Qi Yi chuckled and shook his head. "I just learned Qin Ming's name. How could I go through the back door?"    

The short disciple said, "I heard that the method to take the test is not like this, but to recognize the Source Plant. I know all these Source Plant, but why can't I pass the test?"    

"Besides, even if there is a mistake in this test, it will give us a chance."    

"Just like that, he rejected us without knowing why. Isn't that too unreasonable?"    

They also didn't want to contradict Qi Yi. After all, Qi Yi had some prestige in the sect.    

If Qi Yi was unhappy, he would make things difficult for them in other places, and they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.    

However, becoming an Alchemist was extremely important.    

According to the rules of the sect, if one did not pass the test once, they could not try again in the future.    

In other words, Qi Yi had determined that they had failed the test, which meant that they would be cut off from the path of Alchemist for the rest of their lives.    

They had been preparing for so long, and now they had to leave without knowing why. How could they be willing to do so?    

"Who said that the test must recognize the Source Plant?" Qi Yi asked back.    

The short disciple was about to speak when Qi Yi interrupted him, "The others are the others. The people that I, Qi Yi, teach, are not allowed to be recruited according to my own rules?"    

"Elder Qi, you want to recruit apprentices?" Hearing this, the few of them were shocked.
