Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 157 - 123: Pill Patterns, Second Grade Alchemist



The sand in the hourglass poured out like water, and time slowly slipped away.

Having finished the Body Tempering Pill in advance, Lu Yun had nothing to do for the moment, so he slowly surveyed the other examinees around him.

His gaze eased off of Di Ruoling, the young girl, and moved over to N0.3 compartment’s examinee.

No.3 was a young man around twenty-five years old, now fully focused on controlling the heat and purifying the last spirit herb.

At a glance, Lu Yun could tell that it was a Jade Skin Grass, which requires a higher level of control over heat.

Too low heat would fail to refine it.

Too high heat could instantly turn it to ashes.

Hence, one cannot proceed with refinement and purification without strong control over the heat.

No.3 clearly understood this and was being very careful and cautious in his operation.

However, his skill level was quite low, and despite being careful and cautious, he couldn’t avoid failing in the end. A faint sound marked the Jade Skin Grass turning into ashes inside the furnace.

Lu Yun shook his head slightly and turned his gaze back to the other examinees.

Their alchemy skills varied greatly among the examinees, leaving Lu Yun shaking his head.

“Seeing this, even without upgrading my alchemy technique using energy points, my skill level is better than most people’s.”

Finally, Lu Yun’s gaze landed on N0.37 compartment.

The examinee in the compartment was Deng Yunhui.

“Well, this guy has some skill.” A hint of surprise spread across Lu Yun’s face.

In his white robe, Deng Yunhui usually appeared nonchalant and lazy, but once immersed in alchemy, he seemed to change completely, becoming more mature and steady. His movements were incredibly elegant as well.

Following his smooth and seamless operation, a yellow pill full of crystalline luster formed inside the furnace.

“This guy may be the best alchemist among this batch.”

Time slowly flowed, and occasionally, a pungent smell drifted in, accompanied by sighs.

The examination was nearing its end. Failing in the last condensation phase meant all the previous hard work would go to waste.

As the sand in the hourglass runs out, officials collected the pills from Lu Yun and the other examinees, and presented them to the panel of judges.

Fifteen minutes later, after the deliberation of seven judges, Lu Yun, Deng Yunhui, Di Ruoling, and ten others were granted the qualifications to join the Danist Union and obtained the First Grade Alchemist badge.

“Hehe, grandpa, how about that? I told you 1 could make a First Grade pill with ease,” Di Ruoling boasted when she saw Di Qing come over.

Di Qing rubbed his sweet granddaughter’s head and laughed, “You’re so proud. Anyone who doesn’t know better would think you’ve passed a Second Grade Alchemist examination.”

He then walked up to Lu Yun, gave him a meaningful glance, and said with a beaming smile, “Kid, you’re amazing. Not only do you possess incredible talent in martial arts, but your talent in alchemy is also enough to leave others in the dust.”

Lu Yun smiled lightly without saying anything.

At that moment, Deng He and Jiang Wen also came over together.

“Star Palace disciple Lu Yun pays his respects to Elder Jiang,” Lu Yun greeted Jiang Wen with a slight bow.

“Congratulations, Lu Yun, for passing the First Grade Alchemist examination,” Jiang Wen said with a faint smile, then asked, “Do you plan to return to the Martial Academy to cultivate or stay at the Danist Union?”

“My strength has reached a bottleneck at the moment, so 1 wish to stay at the Danist Union for a while to gain new insights.”

“Hmm, that’s good,” Jiang Wen nodded in approval, stroking his beard before saying, “You’ve already reached the True Qi Ten Refinements, haven’t you?”

Upon hearing this, all those who had passed the examination and gained entrance to the Danist Union cast astonished and surprised gazes at Lu Yun.

“Um… well…” Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “Indeed… more or less.”

Jiang Wen’s face burst into a smile upon hearing Lu Yun’s ‘confirmation’.

“Haha, not bad, not bad, reaching the True Qi Ten Refinements at just thirteen years old!”

Pleased, Jiang Wen gave Lu Yun a hearty pat on the shoulder and left.

Lu Yun’s conversation with Jiang Wen left Di Ruoling utterly stunned. Her face was a picture of shock as she gaped at the youth standing before her, who wasn’t even taller than her.

On the other side, Deng Yunhui—who seemed lazy at all times except during alchemy—was now staring at Lu Yun with astonishment in his eyes.

The people in the hall gawked at Lu Yun.

If Lu Yun passing the First Grade Alchemist examination at thirteen years old could cause them amazement and astonishment, him having already attained True Qi Ten Refinements leaves them utterly dumbstruck and incredulous.

Even a First Grade Alchemist would usually be a martial artist above the Meridian Passage Realm. Naturally, they knew what True Qi Ten Refinements symbolized and understood that a thirteen-year-old with True Qi Ten Refinements meant something extraordinary.

This wasn’t just a genius, but a Heavenly Pride, even among top-tier Heavenly Prides.

“God, it’s bad enough for him to overshadow us in alchemy, but his talent in martial arts makes even us untouchable. How can we even go on living?” Those who passed the First Grade Alchemist exam looked at each other and shook their heads in bitter laughter..
