Peerless War God

However, these hundred people were only watching from afar. No one had stepped into the Pill Tower. It was obvious that they weren't alchemists.    

"If you all gather and watch, Pill Master Yi Feng will not be angry?" Chen Xiao walked to the edge of the crowd and curiously asked a warrior who was also spectating.    

"Angry?" The man looked at Chen Xiao in surprise and waved his hand: "Hehe, you might not understand Pill Master Yi Feng, but he has been famous in the Luofeng for over a hundred years. He has always been able to refine Grade Nine Spirit Dans, and can only occasionally refine some Grade One Spirit Dans, but he would frequently come to the Alchemist Branch to participate in the Pill King Test. As for his intentions, I am not too sure, but Pill Master Yi Feng's temper is well-known for being very good, and when he came to participate in the test for the first time, many people bet on him to get promoted.    

"Is that so?" Chen Xiao was a little confused, and could not really understand him.    

I should be clear about my alchemy standard. Since that's the case, why does that guy come here to take the test every five years?    

Wasn't this just asking for trouble?    

However, other than him being a little incomprehensible, this person also made Chen Xiao a little interested.    

That was all.    

After making a few inquiries, Chen Xiao did not waste any more time and directly led the group towards the Pill Tower.    

In the beginning, no one paid attention to it, but as Chen Xiao stepped through the doors of the Alchemist Branch, many people were stunned.    

Amongst them, the warrior who was questioned by Chen Xiao was even more confused: "That guy is also a Pill Refiner?"    

Naturally, there was no one to answer these questions.    

After entering the courtyard, Chen Xiao had only taken a few steps when a young maid dressed in palace clothing came forward to welcome him: "Master, what can I do for you?"    

"I want to take the Pill King Test!" Chen Xiao replied immediately.    

"Alright, please follow me!" The maid responded respectfully, and immediately led Chen Xiao towards the Nine Floors Tower.    

After the servant walked in, Chen Xiao realized that the number of pill refiners in the tower was surprisingly low. Other than a few warriors who were shopping inside, he didn't see anything else.    

Even worse, Chen Xiao did not have the time to check it out, and was led by the servant into a quiet room at the back of the hall.    

In the quiet room sat an old man. After the young lady led Chen Xiao in, she respectfully bowed to the old man and said: "Pill Master Zhang, this young man is here to participate in the Pill King Exam!"    

Ever since the two of them entered, the elder's gaze had never left Chen Xiao's body, and revealed a questioning look.    

Hearing the maid's words, the tranquil expression on her face clearly changed, she looked at Chen Xiao in shock, she did not expect that this young man who looked to be around twenty years old would actually want to participate in the Pill King assessment!    

The Pill King was the supreme glory of alchemists!    

As he thought about it, he also hurriedly stood up and spoke politely to Chen Xiao: "This one is Zhang Tianfeng, how may I address you, my friend?"    

"I am Chen Xiao, greetings Pill Master Zhang!" Chen Xiao was not overly arrogant, he smiled and nodded as he greeted.    

Hearing that, Zhang Tianfeng's face revealed a carefree smile, and laughed out loud: "So it's Apothecary Chen, I'm here for the gift, I wonder what rank of a Pill King assessment Apothecary Chen would like to participate in this time?"    

"I want to participate in the Tier 1 Pill King assessment!" Chen Xiao replied.    

"Tier 1 Pill King?" Zhang Tianfeng was startled, but he did not express any emotions. Instead, he laughed bitterly: "Then Apothecary Chen would probably have to wait a while longer, there is already a cultivator that went in first to participate in the test, I think she will need another two hours or so!"    

"Is it Pill Master Yi Feng?" The corners of Chen Xiao's eyes revealed a trace of a smile, which was not unexpected.    

"Hmm, looks like Apothecary Chen has also heard of the deeds of Pill Master Yi Feng?" Zhang Tianfeng laughed.    

Since it was still early, Chen Xiao nodded his head and admitted it. At the same time, he curiously asked about Yi Feng's achievements.    

Sure enough, Zhang Tianfeng understood things a little more carefully. It turned out that Yi Feng had already participated in the Pill King Exam dozens of times, but he never passed it every time. As for the reason, Chen Xiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.    

So, the reason why Yi Feng participated in the Pill King assessment was only because the Alchemist Association had given out high grade medicinal ingredients for them to use, while that Yi Feng was clearly using the things here to practice.    

Not every alchemist liked to stay outside for a long time. As a result, many alchemists wanted to refine some pills, and it was rare for them to not have any materials on them, so coming to the Alchemist Association was relatively easier.    

As for why that fellow did not succeed so many times, Zhang Tianfeng had only hinted that Yi Feng's standard of pill refinement was not high enough, and more specifically, refused to reveal any further.    

Just like this, Chen Xiao, accompanied by Zhang Tianfeng, waited for nearly two hours before a maid once again came in and whispered a few words into Zhang Tianfeng's ears.    

After that, Zhang Tianfeng brought Chen Xiao and walked towards the Pill Tower.    

On the fifth floor, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a gray robe walked over. The man looked slightly dispirited, as if he had just expended a large amount of energy.    

However, when he passed by Zhang Tianfeng, Chen Xiao and the rest, the middle-aged man still raised his head to look, and then subconsciously said: "Pill Master Zhang, what are you doing?"    

Zhang Tianfeng did not think too much about it, and only replied indifferently: "This dao friend is going to participate in the Pill King assessment, and had been waiting for you to come out. Now that you have come out, we are naturally going to participate!"    

As Zhang Tianfeng was speaking, Chen Xiao's gaze fell on the middle-aged man.    

Without even needing an introduction, Chen Xiao could guess that this fellow was definitely the Yi Feng who had just failed the examination.    

Seeing that the man was looking at him, he smiled and nodded his head, then followed Zhang Tianfeng up.    

However, after just taking a few steps, footsteps came from behind, at the same time, Yi Feng's voice came out.    

"Friend, may I ask, when you take the Apothecary Guild's examination, if I may take a look at you?"    

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao was stunned, he turned his head towards Yi Feng with surprise.    

In front of him, Zhang Tianfeng was also stunned.    

Chen Xiao was here to participate in the Pill King assessment, if he was not a person who came here to cause trouble like Yi Feng, he would definitely have some ability, and would be recruited by the Pill Refiner's Association. If he was disturbed while participating in the assessment, it would affect his performance, and he would not be a joke, if they were to pursue the matter, he, the manager, would not escape his responsibility.    

Therefore, Zhang Tianfeng directly said in a low voice: "Pill Master Yi, there is a limit to just joking. How can you just stand by and watch something like this happen? Even I am not qualified to watch on the sidelines. The rules of the Pill Tower cannot be broken, do you understand? "    

Although he didn't continue speaking, the meaning in his words was very clear.
