Chapter 1966 Completing the Test
Alex and the rest of the test takers weren't being told their scores before being taken to the next test. They arrived in front of a corridor with many rooms on the side.
The Supreme Alchemist Han assigned each one of them to a room and then explained what they were doing next.
"Once you go in, you'll see a list of pill names on one side and a list of ingredients on the other ones. From there, choose 5 pills you will be making, each of which has to be unique."
"Once you choose the pills, someone will bring those ingredients to you and sit with you to watch you make the pill. Any single hint of you trying to mess around with the pill you're making or change it for another one you have, you will instantly fail the test."
"We will be testing your speed at making pills for sure, but what we'll be checking mostly is the quality with which you can make them. You have 10 minutes to choose what pills you are going to be making, and you will only get to make that pill once."
"GO!"
Alex and the rest quickly walked into their room.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
The inside of the room was small but not lacking in any of the necessities. There were formation after formation laid into the room, all of which were there to test him.
Looking at the room, taking another test to become a guild-certified Alchemist, reminded Alex of the first time he had done so in the Luminance empire.
There was a fun moment attached to that memory where he was forced to leave his storage bags and rings outside the room, but every time he tried to enter, the room kept giving out alarms that he was taking a storage bag with him.
Looking back now, any Immortal that had been there would've realized that he had already opened his Soul Space back then. Bai Jingshen at least had already known that around the same time.
Alex shook away his thoughts and took the talismans laid next to where he was to sit. He took the talisman and looked through the list. There were various pills listed, most of which Alex already knew.
He had improved all of the recipes he had come across by now, so he was free to choose any of the recipes.
Alex decided that 80% was the perfect Harmony he could go for. Of course, getting that exact number was difficult, but he tried his best.
He sensed the energy inside the cauldron and calculated that it was a bit more than he needed.
'Memory, absorb a bit of the energy.'
Memory did as asked and absorbed just the slightest amount of energy. After having done this for the past 2 years with the hundreds of pills Alex had made, Memory had learned exactly how much energy Alex wanted taken away from the pill each time.
Once Memory took the bit of energy away, Alex finished making the pill and took it out. As soon as it was out, a small smile appeared on his face as he saw that the pill had turned out to be an 82% pill.
He was more than satisfied with the result and moved on to make the rest of the four pills. He quickly began making the next pill without wasting a single second.
The woman who sat in the corner of the room was a little taken aback. She had been there to watch many people make pills, but this was the first time she had seen someone make pills without resting in between.
She shook a little wondering how much mental pain he would have to be in doing so.
Alex did feel some pain, but it was barely any problem for him at all. He had been making 15 pills a day regularly back when he was in the sect, so he was more than used to the mental pain one got from making Immortal pills.
Alex finished the healing pill with 81% harmony, the antidote pill with 80% harmony, and the pill to help with breakthroughs with 81% harmony.
All that was left now was the final pill, the one that gave temporary strength and that went well as well.
Memory absorbed part of the energy and Alex formed the pill in the end, bringing it out to be 83%.
Once all of the pills were done, it was time for him to leave.
