Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Sitting in the examination seat, Lu Yun’s gaze fell on the small compartment in front of him.

At this point, a small number of people had already completed the refinement of their pills and were sitting in the small compartment, waiting for the end of the allotted time.

The majority of people were in the process of pill condensation, with a faint fragrance of medicine wafting out.

There was also a group of people who were frantically dealing with the charred pills they had created, reattempting their pill refinement.

As the evaluation deadline approached, they were all breaking into a sweat.

Seeing those panicked people, a rare hint of sympathy flickered in Lu Yun’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

“Sigh, although two sets of materials are provided, the number of people who actually use both sets within the limited time is very small,” Di Ruoling said with a slight sigh.

Under normal circumstances, these people wouldn’t struggle as much to refine a qualified pill.

But in this kind of environment, with multiple pairs of eyes watching and competitors all around, it was natural for one’s mood to be affected.

For alchemists, the most taboo thing is to have fluctuations in their mood, especially for those with lower levels of skill. If they aren’t careful, an entire batch of pills can be ruined.

Soon enough, there were no more particles of sand left in the giant hourglass.

“Bang!”

The middle-aged female Alchemist in the main seat of the evaluation panel struck her hammer, making a loud noise.

With the sound of her hammer, everyone in the small compartments stopped their actions, and the finished pills were taken out by designated individuals, ultimately submitted to the judges’ seats all together, leaving the seven judges to evaluate each one individually.

Lu Yun noticed that everyone in the small compartments had uncertain expressions on their faces.

Among them, the candidates who had failed to refine their pills looked utterly disappointed and disheveled, as if they had been dealt a severe blow.

On the other hand, those who had successfully refined pills displayed both anticipation and anxiety, as if they were awaiting something.

Seeing this, Lu Yun couldn’t help but ask Di Ruoling at his side: “If they have already refined the pills, why do they still look so anxious?”

Di Ruoling looked at Lu Yun with surprise, seemingly puzzled as to how he could not know even this bit of common knowledge.

“Even if they’ve successfully produced pills, if the quality doesn’t meet the requirements, they won’t be eligible to join the Alchemist’s League. At most, they would obtain Alchemist certification and become a First Grade Alchemist,” she explained.

“In that case, they would not be able to enjoy the benefits of being a member of the Alchemist League,” Lu Yun said.

“Exactly,” Di Ruoling replied.

She then added, “There is an upside to that, however. They won’t have to take on any obligations, and they may choose to collaborate with the Alchemist League in other ways.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Could I obtain pill recipes or spirit herbs and medicine from the Alchemist League in that case?”

Di Ruoling glanced at Lu Yun and chuckled, “The Alchemist League controls pill recipes very strictly. They wouldn’t allow them to be leaked easily unless under special circumstances.”

Seeing that Lu Yun wanted to ask more, she continued, “Don’t ask me what those special circumstances are, because 1 don’t know either.”

Seeing this, Lu Yun could only smile helplessly.

At this point, the seven judges had already evaluated the pills.

Out of the forty candidates, twenty-nine successfully passed the test and obtained the title of First Grade Alchemist.

Among them, fifteen acquired the qualifications to join the Alchemist League.

Understandably, there were those delighted and those despondent.

However, none of this was of any concern to Lu Yun anymore. At most, he was just slightly moved, but there was no major emotional impact on him.

After the first batch of candidates had left, one of the judges said,

“Now, candidate number one enter the compartment number one, and the rest of the candidates follow suit and enter sequentially!”

Lu Yun touched the black number plate in his hand, stood up, and walked into the small compartment.

His gaze first examined the Alchemy Furnace.

This was a small, exquisite furnace, slightly smaller than the one he had previously purchased. It was green in color and had some residual black char inside, seemingly left behind by the previous candidate.

Apart from the color difference, this Alchemy Furnace was even more simplistic. It had no extra space; the purified medicinal liquid had to be taken out, and could only be mixed once all purification was completed.

On the small table beside it, there were delicate jade bottles which contained the medicinal liquids and pills.

Additionally, there was a sheet of parchment containing the pill recipe prepared in advance, which was not to be looked at yet.

On the other side, there was a small pile of spirit herbs and other auxiliary alchemy tools and materials, more than enough for their purpose.

“Tsk tsk, old man Deng, if Yun Hui doesn’t arrive soon, he’ll truly miss his chance,” Di Qing remarked playfully while looking at Deng He in the candidate seats.

“I’m not worried, so why should you be?” Deng He replied nonchalantly, but inwardly, he was growing anxious and thought to himself, “Damn kid, if you don’t show up, I’m going to spank you so hard when we get back.”

Seeing the two old men next to him on the verge of bickering again, Jiang Wen shook his head slightly. His gaze inadvertently fell on compartment number one, where he happened to see Lu Yun.

Noticing a young man participating in the Alchemist examination, he couldn’t help but be curious and began to observe him closely.

After only a moment, he was shocked and murmured to himself, “This young man is quite a prodigy; he must be at least at the level of True Qi Nine Refinements!”
