Chapter 118 - An Enormous Fortune (1/2)
The entire dojo fell into a dead silence.
What just took place before them felt like a dream to everyone.
Qin Nan, an outer disciple who was relatively new to the sect, possessed such a great talent in Pill Alchemy that he was able to discover the mistake made by a Pill Alchemy expert, and correct the answer!
After a long pause, the dead silent crowd burst out cheering loudly.
“Damn, that’s awesome, that’s really awesome. I’ve never seen anyone so awesome in my two years as an outer disciple!”
“HAHAHA, this is the definition of an expert. Under everyone’s suspicion, he was able to turn the tables around by discovering the first elder’s mistake, and gave out the correct answer; who could be matched against him?”
“Tsk, in comparison to Qin Nan, Nangong Cheng’s talent in Pill Alchemy is completely worthless!”
“Does that mean Senior Brother Qin Nan’s Pill Alchemy standards have reached the expert level of a Pill Alchemist?”
……
At that instant, everyone gazed at Qin Nan with admiration, and with a hint of respect in their hearts.
This was because Qin Nan had achieved something unimaginable in their eyes!
“I… I… I…”
Nangong Cheng stared with his mouth opened wide. The anger he had had was gone completely, replaced by a blank expression on his face.
Did I lose?
Regarding to skill in Pill Alchemy, did I really lose to Qin Nan?
The first round of identifying ingredients and pills was specifically designed for me. Why is Qin Nan the one being cheered on?
...Meanwhile, at the elder’s seating area...
The elders, like the disciples, were incredibly shocked. However, as their wills are firmer, they did not voice out and praise Qin Nan instantly, unlike the disciples.
However, the gazes from the elders toward Qin Nan were filled with a thick sense of a complimentary nature.
As elders, they never expected anyone to surpass Nangong Cheng in terms of Pill Alchemy, and even had the level to challenge the first elder!
However, Qin Nan proved them wrong!
Out of everyone, only the elder in charge wore a helpless expression while glancing at the first elder.
Qin Nan’s actions had just proved that the Dragon Phoenix Pill was half destroyed; so does that mean he should declare Qin Nan to have scored one hundred marks, which would make him take first place for the round?
Even though the elder in charge assumed that Qin Nan should be first, he had to wait for the first elder’s acknowledgment.
Cheng Biao noticed the gaze from the elder, causing him to recover from the shock. He no longer had the imperious aura from before, as he said with a bitter tone, “Just as what Qin Nan has said, the Dragon Phoenix Pill is indeed half-destroyed; hence, the answer to the last question was wrong. As a result, Qin Nan… has won first place in this round.”
After hearing the first elder’s words, the elder in charge did not hesitate further, as he rose up and declared in a loud tone, “In this outer domain trial, in the first round of identifying ingredients and pills, Qin Nan had obtained one hundred marks, placing him first in this round. Nangong Cheng obtained ninety nine marks, placing him second. Mo Zishan is placed third in this round…”
Following the declaration, the atmosphere of the crowd turned lively once again.
This was only because Qin Nan came first in the round!
However, at that instant, Qin Nan started talking suddenly, “Wait, I have something to say.”
The words caused the lively crowd to turn quiet instantly; every disciple had their eyes open wide and they held their breaths, so they would not miss anything.
