“100,000 immortal stones? Do you even have that much?”

Xue Lin looked at Mang Wang mockingly and her tone was full of disdain. This was because 100,000 immortal stones was not a small sum to her.

Hearing this, Wang Mang sneered.

“Of course I can! What about you? Are you so poor that you can’t afford it?”

With that, Wang Mang waved his hand, and 100,000 immortal stones appeared before him.

Seeing this, Xue Lin’s face stiffened and she said coldly, “Alright! Since you’re basically giving away these immortal stones, 1’11 take up your bet!”

“It just so happens that the three seniors here can be witnesses. If you can’t use this furnace to refine pills and pass the examination, you lose.”

“Sure,” Wang Mang replied in satisfaction. It seemed that he gained an unexpected harvest during this examination. In addition to the immortal stones he had with him, the reward would be enough for him to evolve again.

The bet between the two of them was finalized, and the three Tier 3 alchemists agreed to be witnesses. Then, it was time to begin the examination.

Xue Lin snorted and started to heat up her furnace to refine her pills. The other examinee who came with her also followed suit.

However, Wang Mang was making a whole spectacle out of his refining.

Despite the size of his furnace, he maintained perfect temperature control, and his timing of adding and mixing the herbs was on point.

This garnered looks of surprise and shock from the Tier 3 alchemists, who could tell that Wang Mang had reached the pinnacle of Tier 1 alchemy from how he was refining and processing the ingredients.

They started to whisper to each other.

“This guy’s temperature control is really good. 1 didn’t even sense fluctuations when he started adding in the herbs.”

“I agree. In comparison, the other two are quite lacking. Color me surprised. 1 didn’t expect such skill from someone with that furnace.”

“It looks like this guy has talent. 1 can’t say for certain, but 1 think he should be able to master Tier 3 alchemy without much of a problem.”

At the same time, although they were whispering, their words were clearly audible to the examinees.

When Xue Lin heard that the three Tier 3 alchemists were all optimistic about Wang Mang’s future, she was taken aback, and then quickly turned her attention to Wang Mang.

When she saw Wang Mang refining the pills so smoothly in the big furnace, she was stunned.

How was this possible?

He was just a mere Tier 1 alchemist examinee, so how could he be so skilled?

Boom!

A shocking explosion rang out, as her furnace exploded!

The black smoke coming out of the furnace attracted the attention of the three Tier 3 alchemists.

Xue Lin’s face stiffened. She knew very well that the reason for her failure was because she was distracted by that fellow’s refining.

Thinking this, she tried her best to regulate her emotions and started refining again.

However, at this moment, another loud explosion rang out.

This time, it was her friend’s furnace that exploded!

As for why? Well, her friend had been distracted by her exploding furnace!

The two of them looked at each other awkwardly, after which they began to refine their pills again.

Wang Mang, on the other hand, had nearly finished, and medicinal fragrance began to slowly waft out.

An hour later…

Wang Mang had successfully refined the first pill!

Two hours later…

Wang Mang had successfully refined the second pill!

Eight hours later…

Wang Mang had successfully refined the ninth pill!

Eleven hours later…

Wang Mang had successfully refined the tenth pill!

Throughout the entire process, he had not made a single mistake! Not even once!

This was because Wang Mang had already mastered the refining process for these ten pills. Thus, he was the first one to complete the examination. In comparison, the other two students were not even halfway through, as they had made several mistakes, some of which resulted in furnace explosions.

This was especially so for Xue Lin, who had already failed twice on her fifth pill. If she failed again, she would fail the examination entirely.

Of course, Xue Lin was well aware of why she was performing so terribly. Despite how hard she tried to keep a level head, she was influenced by this hateful fellow!

Under normal circumstances, her pill refinement would never go so bad. However, now that she had clearly lost the bet, she was constantly making mistakes.

100,000 immortal stones!

This was an amount that she had spent a long time saving up!

Just thinking about the sum she had lost made her feel endless waves of regret. However, she forced herself to calm down once more.

If she failed the examination in addition to losing the bet, it would be terrible!

At this moment, Wang Mang had already handed over the ten pills he had refined to the three Tier 3 alchemists.

After looking at the pills Wang Mang had refined, the three alchemists exchanged glances and nodded.

The black-robed elder smiled and nodded at Wang Mang.

“You have passed. You are now a Tier 1 alchemist!”

“Wait for a while. When their examination is over, 1’11 bring you to get your exclusive alchemist robe and badge.”

Wang Mang was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled and said, “Thankyou, Senior!”

After saying that, Wang Mang and the three alchemists waited together. 12 more hours passed, and more than double the time Wang Mang had taken to successfully refine the pill had passed.

To be honest, Wang Mang was getting impatient.

Therefore, Wang Mang quietly glanced at the three Tier 3 alchemists. Unsurprisingly, there was a hint of impatience in their eyes.

Clearly, these two were taking too long and they were somewhat displeased from having to wait so long.

Thinking this, Wang Mang turned his attention to Xue Lin, who was on the verge of completing her ninth pill.

Unfortunately, she had already failed twice, which meant that it was do or die now.

Aha!

He deliberately mocked her loudly, “Little girl, don’t bother refining anymore. You’ve already lost. Come back and try your luck during the next exam!”

“To be honest, if my alchemy skills were as lousy as yours, I would be embarrassed to show myself here.”

“What a disgrace! If I were you, I would have given up a long time ago and would spend more time practicing my alchemy before returning. Honestly, even a complete amateur is better than you are!”

Moments later, before Wang Mang could continue his insults, the sound of a furnace exploding rang out!

Boom!
