Chapter 307 Zhou Zihao’s Contempt, Slapped Away!

Compared with Xuan-grade pills, Earth-grade pills are of course more difficult to refine!

In fact, the vast majority of alchemists in Xianwu Continent cannot refine an Earth-grade pill with their own abilities even if they spend their entire lives.

Even the worst quality Earth-grade pills are not enough!

Because even Earth-grade pills have extremely high requirements for alchemists, and the vast majority of alchemists cannot meet this requirement.

To refine Earth-grade pills, not only does the alchemist have extraordinary talent in alchemy, but also requires rich alchemy experience, strong soul, outstanding opportunities and other related conditions.

In a word.

Alchemists who can refine Earth-grade pills are all heroes among men, and outstanding among men!

"I didn't expect the Nangong family's requirements to be so high. It's only the second round of assessment, and they're asking for the refinement of earth-grade elixirs," someone couldn't help but exclaimed, "What about the third and fourth rounds of assessment?"

"Will they be asked to refine heaven-grade elixirs?"

"Hey, you know what, maybe it's really possible!" Someone next to him interrupted, "I originally thought that the second round of the alchemy assessment was to refine Xuan-grade upper-grade or top-grade elixirs, but who would have thought that the Alchemy King directly asked for the refinement of earth-grade elixirs."

"It's a whole leap forward!"

"If the situation is so greatly improved, it's not surprising that the third round requires the refinement of heaven-grade elixirs!"

"It's worthy of being the Alchemy King Castle. The conditions proposed are really harsh."

"Who said it wasn't!"

The crowd outside the venue talked a lot.

But whether it's heaven-grade or earth-grade elixirs, they are unattainable levels of elixirs for many alchemists outside the venue.

Now it depends on what the dozen or so alchemists in the venue are going to do.

On the square.

Including Xiao Ming, there were fifteen young alchemists in total. After hearing the content of Nangong Chen's second round of assessment, most of them changed their faces.

Then they showed helplessness and bitter smiles.

Then, a young alchemist raised his arm and said, "I, I give up this assessment. My alchemy level is only the middle level of the Xuan level, and I can't make earth-level pills."

"I give up too..."

"Me too..."

Others also said.

Although everyone was extremely unwilling, there was nothing they could do. It was not shameful to withdraw now. If they insisted on refining earth-level elixirs in the square but failed to do so, that would be a real laughing stock.

Xiao Ming took a rough look and found that among the fifteen alchemists on the field, twelve raised their hands and announced that they had given up.

Only three people remained silent.

These three people were Xiao Ming himself, Li Xuanfeng, and Tang Xiaosan.

And the twelve people who gave up walked out of the field one by one.

"Don't be discouraged, friends who have given up," Nangong Chen said with a smile, "I have ordered people to prepare various rewards and gifts in advance. You can go to my Nangong family to receive them later. I promise that you will not be disappointed."

"To be honest, this assessment is indeed a bit harsh. But you don't have to be depressed. You are still young. If you can't make earth-level pills now, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future."

This is very skillful, and the dozen people who are going to leave are quite happy to hear it.

Many of them also think that the reason why they can't make earth-level pills is not because of their own talent, but because they are too young.

If they are given time to grow, they will definitely become earth-level alchemists in the future!

After all, everyone is generally only in their twenties. It is already amazing to become a Xuan-level alchemist at this age. Xuan-level alchemists of this age can still be called alchemy geniuses!

Thinking of this, many people swept away the haze in their hearts and walked out of the field with confidence, including He Yihang, Zhou Zihao and Zhang Qing.

The most powerful among them, He Yihang, was only a high-level alchemist of the Xuan level. Facing the harsh second round of assessment by Nangong Chen, he had no choice but to give up.

The three of them followed the crowd and passed by Xiao Ming. After seeing Xiao Ming, Zhang Qing stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder, sighing, "Let's go, brother Xiao, we are destined to have no chance with Nangong Wu, and then let's see the talents who remain on the field continue to perform."

However, Xiao Ming just smiled, but his figure was as motionless as a rock.

"Huh? Brother Xiao, what do you mean?" Zhang Qing said in astonishment, "Aren't you going to go down with us? You don't want to participate in the second round of assessment?!"

"Is it not possible?" Xiao Ming smiled lightly.

Uh...

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while, because he didn't know whether Xiao Ming was joking or really meant it.

He Yihang and Zhou Zihao next to him looked over at the same time.

"You want to participate in the second round of assessment? Just because of you?" Zhou Zihao, who is used to talking nonsense, screamed immediately, "Don't you see what level you are? Just because of you, you can participate in the second round of assessment?!"

"The second round of assessment requires refining an earth-grade elixir. I won't say whether you have the ability or not. I'll ask you, have you ever seen an elixir of this level?"

"You, a wild little alchemist, probably haven't even seen one, and you dare to participate in the assessment of earth-grade elixir? It's ridiculous, and I want to make everyone laugh!"

Zhou Zihao was so excited that his saliva flew, just like a light rain.

And his voice and tone were full of contempt and disdain for Xiao Ming. Calling Xiao Ming a "wild alchemist" was enough to explain a lot of problems.

Xiao Ming's body swayed slightly, and he cleverly dodged Zhou Zihao's heavy spit, and then looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a stupid clown.

This Zhou Zihao was so foul-mouthed, Xiao Ming would let him know the price of being foul-mouthed!

However, Xiao Ming had not figured out what the specific price was. Should he castrate Zhou Zihao and make him a eunuch, or control the power of the Shocking Spirit Thorn and turn him into an idiot?

Or, a combination of the two, both a eunuch and an idiot?

Xiao Ming had not figured out how to deal with this foul-mouthed guy, but no matter which method he used, Zhou Zihao could not escape his punishment!

At this time.

Then He Yihang spoke, "Brother Xiao, you said you were going to participate in the second round of assessment, are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious," Xiao Ming said lightly, "Do you think I am joking?"

"I understand," He Yihang nodded, then suddenly bowed to Xiao Ming and said, "Since Brother Xiao is confident of participating in the competition, then I would like to congratulate Brother Xiao in advance for his victory and the last laugh."

It can be seen that this He Yihang is much smarter than the stupid Zhou Zihao, and he is calm and steady.

He has guessed from Xiao Ming's attitude that Xiao Ming is not an ordinary alchemist, and he took the initiative to salute Xiao Ming in advance to leave a good impression.

Zhang Qing next to him was shocked.

Because he knew He Yihang's identity as a disciple of a noble family and the pride hidden in He Yihang's bones, He Yihang's initiative to bow his head and salute him was already a recognition of Xiao Ming's strength!

Such behavior, doesn't it mean that Xiao Ming can really refine an earth-level elixir?

This is something that only an earth-level alchemist can do. Could it be that Xiao Ming is really...

Thinking of this, Zhang Qing felt his head buzzing, his mind was blank, and it seemed that his thoughts had stopped.

Zhou Zihao next to him was dissatisfied again.

"Brother He, what's wrong with you? Why are you bowing to this wild kid? We are disciples of aristocratic families, this kid is nothing!" Zhou Zihao cursed,

"In my opinion, he is just trying to be rich and want to stay on the court to attract attention so that everyone outside the court can see him. I have seen many such shameless guys..."

As soon as Zhou Zihao finished speaking, Xiao Ming could no longer bear it, and his palm slapped over like lightning!

"Pah!!"

A very crisp slap suddenly sounded, and then Zhou Zihao was blown up by the powerful force and smashed towards the distant land like a cannonball.

"Huh! It's finally quiet..." Xiao Ming slowly retracted his palm and exhaled a breath of foul air. After slapping Zhou Zihao away, he felt like he had received a massage and felt refreshed.
