Martial Research Master

Chapter 42: REPORTING AT PILL HALL

The Pill Hall was a solitary force that stood as the biggest shareholder in the pill market. Pills, elixirs, liquors, were all necessary resources for cultivation.

It was a solitary force whose members dedicated themselves to alchemy while there was another group that concentrated on martial cultivation. The one thing both the groups had in common was their exceptional control over either fire or wood elements.

The fire Elementalists were the offensive force while the wood Elementalists were healers. The members who had incredible control on both were the ones practicing alchemy.

The benefits one would get on joining the pill hall was massive, even if you are not an alchemist. The resources pill hall provides are top of the line too. Also, there was a common belief within the folks that alchemy was a side path.

Hence there was a constant clash between the offensive and the alchemy group. But still, the upper management had come together to make such a giant force. The regulations were quite capable in that aspect.

............................................................

At the grounds of the entry to the hall a set of guards, also called outer disciples were standing. Suddenly a hooded man appeared in their view. The guard signaled him to stop.

.....

“Identify yourself”, A slip was passed to the guard.

After browsing the content, the guard’s face took upon a drastic change.

“So, it is brother Lu Ming. It is great to see you. The elder has already instructed upon the process of receiving you. If you would kindly follow me, I would lead you to the induction hall.”

The hooded figure bowed “Thank you brother for showing kindness.”

The Guard had a satisfactory and proud smile on his face. The pill hall was like a huge organization spread across a large stretch of land. Soon enough they passed through a series of passages and finally reached in front of a door which spelled” Hall of test”.

So, this was the induction program the guard was talking about. They were going to test his capabilities and attributes before admitting him to any particular hall.

.........................................................

” I beg the pardon of the elders to have interrupted the discussion of the elders. This was the order of the 3rd elder to test Lu Ming Here as soon as he reports to the academy.”

The elders looked at Lu Ming with curiosity. Someone who was valued by the third elder. They need to conduct the exam fast.

One of the elders came forward and said” You must be the one from the Jiao royal gathering. Since you chose to come to Pill hall, we welcome you.”

“But before you are admitted to any division you are to first undergo a series of tests which will test your attributes, talent, fire and wood control, knowledge about alchemy, and lastly soul power.”

“Only then will the report be made to the higher authorities and a suitable section would be referred to you for joining.”

Lu Ming (Long Tao’s avatar complied with a nod). But just then another servant arrived with a set of disciples.

” Sir these are the disciples chosen from the Chu country. The one in the front is Chu Rudao.”

Two outstanding geniuses having recommendations of inner elders appear at the same time.

...........................................

The sects seem to be the hub of training for multiple countries. The local belief of the royal clan is more powerful than the sects was false. The sects had too deep a foundation.

Each of the sects is supposedly more powerful than the royal clans of the countries. Otherwise, why would the clan members be sent to sects to train? Chu Rudao( the third prince of Chu country) looked at Lu Ming with a provoking glance.

Lu Ming and the other group of people proceeded towards the testing hall. The first test was the elemental compatibility. Lu Ming knew that his compatibility with all types of elements was exceptional.

He would equal compatibility with all elements and that would garner him a huge response from the elders. But there were 6 of them present across the other institutes. He didn’t want to show similar characteristics for all of them.

“Do you have a method of cloaking the test results?” he asked the Keeper.

The keeper replied in a deep tone” This will be the last favor I will do before you reach Qi master realm. You can’t depend on me for all your needs.”

.......................................................

Lu Ming understood that the keeper was not to interfere in the martial path of the successor. He was to increase his cultivation speed, otherwise, this guy will continue pouting.

Within no more than 2 years he had already jumped from being a mortal with crippled meridians to a Qi child peak realm practitioner. If it were to be known anywhere in the world, they would be shocked, but apparently the keeper was still dissatisfied with his achievements.

Long Tao just couldn’t estimate how big the talent of the previous master was. He needed to increase his cultivation to shut this guy’s mouth. But he knew that he didn’t have time.

He was willing to stay in this zone for not more than 3 -4 years at first, but when the crimson lord world got a big upgrade and the time ratio changed from 1:2 to 1:4, his time period of staying decreased to 2 years at max.

According to real-time cultivation, Long Tao estimated that with his speed he would require 8 years at maximum before he could step into the Qi general realm if all things were certain.

“You are to mask the elemental capability of elements except for fire and wood by at least 2 points down. Am I clear? And you are to do it in the other academies too.”

............................................

” Kindly line up and proceed one by one to the slab. It will test your compatibility with the respective elements and signify if you have a special body.”.

The disciples of the Chu country proceeded one by one. All of them had good compatibility with either fire or wood. Some even had compatibility of 9 points in a particular element. But none of them had both.

Long Tao understood the grading from 1-9 points. Above it was special bodies that had incredible compatibility with singular elements while having special properties too.

“Would you like to go first, or shall I?” Chu Rudao asked Long Tao.

Arrogance was one of the characteristics Long Tao hated in people who were inferior to him. If Long Mengchen or someone with her talent would have said this he would have taken it lightly, but this guy.

A cruel intention occurred in the mind of Long Tao.

“I Lu Ming am not willing to sully the pre-show of brother Chu. You may have the first attempt.” He smiled and said.

Chu Rudao arrogantly snorted and proceeded towards the pillar. As soon as he put his hands, the 11th mark was hit in the fire region and the 10th mark was hit in the wood element region.

The group of elders was shocked. They immediately reported to the Higher-ups. This was a special elemental body. Soon enough various powerful auras started appearing in the test halls.

The news of someone having a grade 2 elemental body in fire and, Grade one elemental body in the wood was a huge subject. This was a precious talent. Many elders started piling up.

......................................................

“Boy, can you put your hand on this slab and release your aura.” Chu Rudao did as he was asked.

The old man who examined the slab declared “This a Fire Dao body of level 2 a harmonic wood body of level 1.” It was a great mixture. This boy is highly suitable for alchemy.

“I am the 4th elder of the inner academy, are willing to take me as your master boy.” Chu Rudao was taken aback. The 4th inner elder himself came to take him as a disciple. It was a huge opportunity.

But soon the 2nd and 3rd elder arrived and gave him the offer to become their student too. Finally, Chu Rudao chose the second elder as his master. He bowed and greeted him.

” Congratulations senior brother to have taken another incredible disciple. Our Pill hall is quite blessed this time to have a person with dual elemental bodies.”

Lu Ming was forgotten in the process and no one was even putting him in their eyes now that Chu Rudao showed his talent.

The elder was all about to exit when suddenly another elder appeared. The faces of all changed upon seeing him. It was the first elder.” The test didn’t seem to have ended yet.”.

The elder in charge remembered that there was another guy from the Jiao country. All of them turned to Lu Ming.

.........................................

“Have the first elder arrived here to see the test of this boy. I don’t think he will perform better than Chu Rudao.”

The third elder recognized this guy to be the one he had invited to the academy. He too wanted to see his talent and element compatibility.

“We won’t know until we see it to the end will we.” Lu Ming proceeded towards the slab and as soon as he put his hands on the slab, the scenario that occurred shocked the whole group present.
