Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

"I see. And I think that I was lucky. I recognized all of them." I chuckled.

The attendant switched back to the weird look on his face. I knew that he wanted to say that I was lying, but he was just stopping that impulse now that he found out I was a VIP member of the Shianxi auction house.

"I shall congratulate you then, young master." the attendant bowed slightly and quickly left. He wanted nothing to do with me anymore, I could tell.

I shook my head and looked at the entrance. No one was leaving. The people inside were taking way too much time. I cursed at this world. In times like this, I could do nothing. I had no patience. Years of getting used to having a phone in my pocket robbed that from me.

An hour later, I heard a loud dong. There was shuffling within, and the quiet room turned noisy. All of the alchemy disciples left the room now, and were discussing between each other. It was like every other exam that I had written in my previous life. The similarities were uncanny.

The old man came out of the room was well.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat.

,m All of the alchemy disciples looked at him, me included. We were waiting with bated breaths to see what he was about to say.

"As usual, this time the result is very disappointing." he shook his head.

I could see the faces of many fall down when hearing that. They knew that they were going to fail.

"Not a single one could get a perfect score. I thought that at least one of you would, but perhaps I am being too optimistic. Now then, you all follow me." the old man pointed to different people in the room.

At the end, he stopped and glanced at me.

"You really surprised me. To think that you would just get one thing wrong. I am honestly surprised." he nodded at me as he pointed towards me as well.

"One thing wrong? May I know which one it is?" I asked.

"The Blue Mandragora. You called it the Sky Mandragora. No one knows that the hell that is. Come on then, follow me." he said as he turned around and headed beyond this room into another on the floor.

"This must be the mistake that I was expecting. I knew that there were going to be discrepancies in databases." I sighed as I followed him.

The other alchemy disciples looked at me with eyes of shock and wonder. They had no idea how this happened. I took just mere minutes to complete what everyone else took an entire hour for. And yet, I clearly got the highest score.

I did not care though. I just wanted the badge. I followed him to the other room. In there, I could see that there were multiple furnaces, and the smell of spirit pills wafted to my nose.

"As all of you are aware, this is usually where you have to undergo the flame test. You have to be able to control the fire and perfectly regulate temperature. But right now, at this situation, I have been ordered not to allow any one to use a Pill Fire from the tower. They are precious and powerful. The enemy might be among us, so it is just not desirable for the enemy to steal a Pill Fire. We will be skipping directly to the final test, which should be able to inculcate the fire test within." the old man said.

"Regulating fire? What the hell is this? All I did was follow what the system showed me exactly. I have no idea what regulating the fire is. Thank god, this Yurian Gale is such a drama queen." I took a deep breath.

"Take any furnace. Now, the person who came for the two leaf clover test, you will have a different pill to create. You will have to make a Foundation Tempering Pill. As for the rest of you, it is going to be very basic. You have to make a Qi Supplement Pill." the old man said.

"The foundation tempering pill? The instructor must be mad at him, to give such a difficult pill to make." the alchemy disciples that remained broke into discussion.

"Silence!" the old man quieted the room.

"What about the ingredients, senior?" I asked.

"Here." the old man threw a jade box at me. I opened the box to see that it had all of the ingredients, bunched together.

"Many might think that this will decrease the efficiency of the pill." I chuckled.

"What do you think though?" he asked.

"I am under the school of thought that believes that when the ingredients are next to each other, their medicinal effects are rubbed on each other, and it makes creating the pill much, much easier." I smiled.

"Then why are you complaining? Go ahead. You have all but ten hours to do this." he snarled.

"I have a problem though, senior. A foundation tempering pill is valuable. The pill is worth ten times the value of the ingredients, which themselves are worth almost a million spirit coins. I understand that I just paid for the ingredients, but will I keep the pill that I create?" I asked.

"You are very haughty, child. You have not even made the pill, and you are already asking if you can keep it. You are interesting. The pill is yours, obviously. You paid a million spirit coins for the ingredients, like you said. The pill tower has no need to grub for money. We have enough. We treat all alchemists like sons. You should go ahead and start." the old man chuckled.

"Thank you then. I shall get to work then." I nodded and smiled.
