A Will Eternal Chapter 43 (2/2)
That caused quite an uproar, and even elicited a slight nod from Elder Xu
“This Han Jianye has already concocted three sticks of incense! nobody else even has more than one!”
“In tests past, two successes meant you passed the test, and four successes made you a Chosen All Han Jianye has to do is concoct one more stick to become a Chosen!”
As everyone discussed thein Han Jianye’s eyes as he murmured, “I’ll definitely concoct a fourth stick of Inkspirit Incense I’ to be the top journeyman apothecary!’
Swishi+ng his sleeve in grand style, he began to work on his seventh batch
Du Lingfei’s face was ashen as she gritted her teeth and began working on her own seventh batch
When the fourteenth hour arrived, Du Lingfei’s eyes shone with elation as a an to spread out from her pill furnace Even as black smoke rose up from everyone else’s seventh batches, she produced the only success!
“I’ve fei constrained her excite with the ashen-faced Han Jianye, began work on another batch
In the sixteenth hour, ain… everyone met with failure
As of this moment, of the nineteen other people besides Bai Xiaochun ere taking the test, Han Jianye had three successes, Du Lingfei had two, Chen Zi’ang and Zhao Yiduo both had one, and everyone else… had nothing but failures
As for Bai Xiaochun, he was studying the last of the medicinal plants
“This test is so hard…”
That was the thought running through the minds of the Outer Sect disciples in the audience They could feel the anxious pressure building up Most of the test-takers only had two sets of ingredients left With the exception of Du Lingfei and Han Jianye, who had alreadyand Zhao Yiduo, who both had one success already, the other test-takers had to succeed with both sets of ingredients, otherwise they would fail completely
Those re disciples were now extremely nervous Essentially, this ninth batch was the most crucial batch; if they failed, then Elder Xu wouldn’t allow theredients set aside for the tenth batch
If that ninth batch failed, then… their test-taking effort would be a complete failure
Filled with apprehension and nervousness, everyone focused completely on their ninth batches… Each and every step received complete and utter attention; those who had already et a better final score, and for those who hadn’t ht now to pass
Bai Xiaochun, on the other hand… was sitting there holding the finalsome important question about that plant, as his broas furrowed thoughtfully By no people were paying attention to him
The eighteenth hour seemed to pass very slowly This was thesounds echoed out As for the disciples who had not succeeded at all, they rose to their feet, faces pale, chuckling bitterly After clasping hands to Elder Xu, they dejectedly left the square
One by one, the disciples left, until soon, only six people re medicine
Soon, ru sounds echoed out from the six test-takers’ pill furnaces, and yet a medicinal aro to Zhao Yiduo
Zhao Yiduo’s hands were clenched tightly into fists, he was panting, and his eyes were coht now than he had ever been before; he had met the minimum requirements With two successes, he passed!
Some people were excited, so disciples who hadn’t succeeded a single ti, they rose to their feet and left
Chen Zi’ang couldn’t beat Zhao Yiduo, heart filled with bitterness and anxiety Then he looked with bloodshot eyes at the final set of medicinal plants
Du Lingfei frowned, then closed her eyes to think Han Jianye felt the least pressure of all, and yet, he wasn’t happy to be stuck with only three successes He wanted to break through to become Chosen
“The last batch!” People took deep breaths as they looked out at the square, and the five people left behind Han Jianye Du Lingfei Zhao Yiduo Chen Zi’ang And of course… Bai Xiaochun
Three of the had one chance left to do so As for Bai Xiaochun… people weren’t even paying attention to hi to wonder why he had even cohteen hours, all he had done was study the medicine for… if he had just come to be a part of the excitement
It ith unprecedented seriousness that Du Lingfei and the others began to focus completely on their tenth and last batch of spirit azes, the twentieth hour slowly passed
Ru sounds could then be heard from Zhao Yiduo’s pill furnace, after which black shed He had failed in the final batch, but at least he still met the minimum requirements
In almost the exact sa’s pill furnace began to emit a medicinal aroma His wasn’t the only one Medicinal arofei’s and Han Jianye’s!
In that instant, all three of their faces lit up with joy as they realized that they had succeeded!
“I did it! Four sticks of Inkspirit Incense! I took the top spot!!” Han Jianye shot to his feet and his excited laughter began to ring out in all directions Du Lingfei sighed in relief Although she hadn’t reached the level of a Chosen, three successes was still astonishi+ng
Chen Zi’ang felt alan to laugh heartily
As of this s that the four of the for the last two hours finally erupted out
“What a difficult test! The fact that Han Jianye could succeed four times despite this level of difficult shows that he really is a Chosen!”
“Du Lingfei got three successes, Chen Zi’ang and Zhao Yiduo both got two… They all met the requirements to be promoted I bet if the test wasn’t so hard, they all would probably have been able to get four successes!”
Even as everyone began to discuss thein support, as Elder Xu nodded approvingly at Han Jianye and was about to announce that the test was over… Bai Xiaochun moved
