Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 731 - Mou Li's Plan
Right at this moment, Mengshen who was in charge of Zhang En's assessment ran towards the Hall Mou Li was in and entered it, looking anxious and confused.
A layer of sweat filled his forehead, sliding down his face.
Both Mou Li and Xu Yi slightly frowned when they saw Mengshen's appearance.
Mengshen quickly saluted as she arrived in front of Mou Li, with a trembling and frightened voice.
Xu Yi then said, "Did that Zhang En fail the assessment?" Although Mengshen's behavior looked strange, Xu Yi did not think too much about it.
Mengshen spoke stammered and stammered, unable to pronounce all her sentences correctly.
Seeing this, Mou Li finally lost her temper, yelling at Mengshen, "Speak, how did Zhang En's assessment result?"
Mengshen's voice increasingly shook, kneeling down, answering, "Zhang En that, d-he, he passed!"
"What?! Passed…?!" Mou Li and Xu Yi shouted in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Zhang En actually managed to create the Heavenly Core Pill?" Said Mou Li could not accept this Mengshen answer.
“Yes, he did it inside the assessment hall.” Mengshen did not dare to hide anything, answering truthfully.
Mou Li urged, “Did he use the ingredients we prepared earlier?”
"Yes, he's using it." Mengshen nodded again.
Mou Li still refused to accept, "Did she use the pill furnace we prepared as well?"
Mengshen hesitated before replying, "No, he didn't use it."
Mou Li was astonished by her reply, then her roar of anger echoed, “You really have courage in judging Zhang En! Surely he used his own pill furnace to refine pills, but you still let him pass just like that?!"
The dust from the hanging beams above the hall fell due to Mou Li's furious roar.
Facing Mou Li's anger, Mengshen's face paled but quickly explained, "B-not so, Elder Mou Li, Zhang En, he didn't use the pill furnace at all during the pill refining process."
"Not using a pill furnace?" The angry Mou Li, suddenly became confused. Even Xu Yi asked in a tone of disbelief, "So, what you want to say is that that Zhang En did indeed use the ingredients of the potion we prepared and, the pill-cutting process did not use any pill furnaces, then he successfully refined the Heavenly Core Pill?"
Mengshen nodded excitedly, “True, right! Also, he only takes a little less than half an hour!”
"Are the pills he made low-quality pills?" It seemed that Mou Li was doing one last wish. If what Zhang En made was a low-grade Heavenly Core Pill, then he could still use this as an excuse to dissuade Zhang En from passing the assessment.
"Not a low grade pill, but a high quality pill!" Mengshen quickly took out a jade bottle from her spatial ring, offering it to Mou Li with both hands: "This is one of the Heavenly Core Pills that Zhang En has just made."
Mou Li took the bottle from Mengshen's hand and opened the lid. Instantly, a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the hall, followed by a small pill similar to a black sun that emitted a glittering starlight out from the bottle.
Looking at the pill floating in the air, a series of disbelief had rained down on Mou Li mentally and gasped.
Looking at the pill as well, Xu Yi's face stiffened in shock and disbelief, he knew that the pill was no longer a high quality pill, but a top grade pill, approaching a god grade quality pill.
Each pill that was purified would be graded from the lowest grade, namely low grade, middle grade, high, top, and Gods. As long as one refined an upper middle grade pill, they were considered to have passed the Ghuang Union alchemist assessment.
Then when Mou Li took a breath, her eyes pouted as she looked at Mengshen, "Tell me in detail the entire sequence of Zhang En's assessment."
Mengshen briefly recounted everything that happened during Zhang En's assessment.
The more Mou Li heard the story, the uglier the shape of her face.
“Also, Zhang En's cultivation is now in the realm of Five Star Gold God?” When Mengshen reached the part when Zhang En showed his aura to suppress him, Mou Li was greatly shocked. His words came out, cutting off Mengshen's story.
Mengshen frankly nodded, “True Elder Mou. Moreover, even though Zhang En was merely at that realm, his aura and pressure felt even stronger than that of a Seven Star Golden God cultivator!"
Highlight Mou Li's eyes became increasingly dark hearing all this information.
It had been several years since the God Battle Competition had passed, but Zhang En's cultivation had already reached that stage. This level of cultivation speed gave Mou Li an uneasy feeling.
If Zhang En was allowed to grow further several tens of years later, even he himself would not have the confidence to kill him.
A few minutes later, Mengshen finished her report and Mou Lu told her to leave.
Seeing the figure of Mengshen who had left leaving her aura, Mou Li's eyes were even fiercer.
“Who would have thought that brat really had high skills in alchemists, it might even be better than that Kun Master.” Xu Yi ventured to speak carefully, her heart still beating from what Mengshen said about Zhang En.
Mou Li's gloomy voice sounded, “It doesn't matter even if the boy has already passed the alchemist's assessment. During the next stage of the competition's preliminary, he won't be able to pass again!"
During the early stages of the competition, each participant would be escorted to a different room to refine pills, and each room would be equipped with ingredients and pill furnaces provided by the Ghuang Alchemist Union party.
Back then, Mou Li planned on needing to have her bottom secretly replace some materials for Zhang En.
...
After Zhang En passed his alchemist assessment and obtained his Alchemist identity token, he headed straight to the registration location to register.
Some time later, Zhang En had completed his registration and walked around the place, but did not discover the whereabouts of Chu Bai's group. He then left the Ghuang Alchemist Union.
Zhang En's next plan was to find a place to stay and cultivate while waiting for the day of the competition two months later.
However, learning from his previous experience, Zhang En was too lazy to go looking for lodging, he headed straight for the chamber of commerce that sold the villa or mansion, instead, spending more than a few trillion dollars to obtain a luxurious residence in one of the city centers in Ghuang World, precisely in Moon City.
When Zhang En poured trillions of money into buying a Mansion he wanted, it made the chamberlain servants there sigh and be surprised.
This mansion was many times more luxurious than the Villa he had bought in Ashura City.
