Ye Feng listed eight medicinal ingredients, and all of them were correct, from the main ingredient to the auxiliary ones, without exception, matching the correct answer!
"Ye Feng, the main ingredient is correct, and the remaining seven auxiliary ingredients are also correct. You have successfully advanced!" Elder He's resonant voice boomed.
Upon hearing this, everyone present, including He Shasha, showed expressions of shock. "Wh-what, did I hear that right? What did Elder He just say? Th-this kid, all eight medicinal ingredients are correct?"
Yuan Tu exclaimed in disbelief, "No, it's impossible! How could they all be correct? Elder He, did you make a mistake!"
As the grandson of a first-tier alchemist who had studied alchemy since childhood, he had only gotten seven correct. How could Ye Feng, an ordinary person, get all of them right?
However, in the next second, when he looked at Ye Feng's answer, he was instantly dumbfounded. The answers above Ye Feng's were indeed the same as his for the first seven.
But in the back, he had written more than a dozen additional ingredients, totaling over twenty medicinal ingredients!
Instantly, Yuan Tu's expression changed drastically, showing an unsightly look.
However, at this moment, he thought of something else, and his expression changed from displeased to surprised. "Huh, no, wait. This kid's answer isn't correct. He's just guessing randomly!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" This statement instantly confused everyone again, as they didn't understand what Yuan Tu was implying.
Hearing this, Yuan Tu wore an expression he thought was very clever and said, "Haha, it's very simple. The ingredients for the Huiyuan Pill only require eight, and this kid wrote over twenty."
"And with the combined medicinal properties of so many ingredients, let alone refining the Huiyuan Pill, it would be good if it didn't explode the furnace. So this kid is just guessing randomly!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly shocked, their eyes widening.
Those who were friendly with Wudang nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, this kid wrote so many, he must have been thinking of adding a few more so he could guess correctly. Damn it, we were almost fooled by him!"
"That's right, this kid doesn't have much skill, but he's quite cunning. Fortunately, Yuan Tu saw through it, otherwise, he would have really gotten away with it!"
"Exactly, kid, you're quite the player..."
Several people looked at Ye Feng, sneering, and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they almost thought Ye Feng had actually written the correct answer!
However, upon hearing this, Ye Feng looked at them as if they were idiots and said coldly, "Guessing randomly? Heh, what are you thinking? I never said this was the formula for one pill!"
"Hmm? Not the formula for one pill? What do you mean?" Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened in confusion.
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately sneered, "Heh, it's very simple. These ingredients I've listed are the formulas for two Huiyuan Pills, meaning there are two answers!"
"What? Two, two answers?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was as if they had heard something earth-shattering, and they were all stunned on the spot, as shocked as could be.
Some even doubted if they had heard correctly and couldn't help but rub their ears.
Ye Feng not only wrote down the answer but also wrote down two answers?
"H-how is that possible!"
Yuan Tu was the first to disbelieve, exclaiming, "K-kid, who do you think you are? Two answers? Do you have that kind of skill?"
"Y-yes, what two pill formulas? Kid, I think you're making excuses after being exposed. Do you think you're a first-tier alchemist? How laughable!"
"That's right, stop quibbling and just get eliminated and get out..."
The others also expressed their disbelief. What kind of nonsense were two answers? Ye Feng was clearly caught with his little tricks and was making excuses!
However, before they could finish speaking, a voice from the side made them despair: "What he said is indeed correct. These are the formulas for two pills!"
Hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked and quickly looked back. In the next second, Elder He's voice continued, "This first formula is for the Huiyuan Pill, which leads to Chiyang Water!"
"And the medicinal ingredients after Chiyang Water are the formula for another pill, the Fuling Pill. The Fuling Pill has almost the same effect as the Huiyuan Pill, but because the ingredients are too valuable, few people refine it!"
"Therefore, he did indeed write two answers, one for the Huiyuan Pill and one for the Fuling Pill!"
Elder He's words came out one by one, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng more, his eyes filled with admiration.
To be honest, it wasn't difficult to write the formula for the Huiyuan Pill. After all, as long as one understood some medicinal properties or had seen this pill before, they could achieve it.
But to deduce the formula for another pill with a similar effect based on the description of the Huiyuan Pill was something that not just anyone could do.
This was also why he was so shocked when he first saw Ye Feng's formula. Ye Feng's actions were not at all like someone who had just started learning alchemy!
"What? It's really two answers? This, this..."
Upon hearing his words, everyone looked as if they had witnessed something incredible.
Those who could come here had some understanding of alchemy, so they knew how terrifying it was to be able to achieve this.
Therefore, their gaze towards Ye Feng instantly changed. They couldn't believe that if all of this were true, Ye Feng's talent in alchemy was truly monstrous!
However, Yuan Tu and the others did not think so. After a brief moment of surprise, they reacted, their faces becoming extremely grim.
"Hmph, this is impossible. This kid must have seen the formulas for these two pills before to be able to write them. Otherwise, how could this be possible?"
"Exactly, he must have seen the formulas for these medicinal ingredients before. Otherwise, how could an ordinary kid like him write them?"
"That's right, he must have seen them..."
Several people said to Ye Feng with great certainty.
However, upon hearing this, Elder He shook his head. While others might not know, as an elder of the Dan Dao Sect, he knew very well that the formulas for these two pills were only possessed by the Dan Dao Sect and had never been leaked.
Therefore, there was no possibility of Ye Feng having seen the formulas for these medicinal ingredients before. The only explanation was that Ye Feng's talent in alchemy surpassed everyone's imagination.
However, even so, he was too lazy to explain to them. He simply said, "Alright, there's no point in saying more. Since he wrote it, according to the assessment rules, he has advanced!"
Hearing this, the faces of several people became even more unsightly, as unsightly as could be.
However, seeing that Elder He had spoken, they ultimately couldn't say anything more and could only look at Ye Feng and say, "Hmph, kid, I don't care where you saw this formula, but in the next round, I will expose your true colors!!"
"Expose my true colors?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng coldly sneered and said, "Heh, bring it on. Also, help me pass a message to your master. If he wants revenge, I'll be waiting for him anytime..."
