chapter 2451 – 2455


    Chapter 2451


    “There really must be something wrong with this guy’s head. Does he really think that he’s on par with


    the other two in front of him just by standing in the same group? That’s a little too much of a joke…”


    “I thought that the test was going to be strict and serious. I can’t believe I got to witness such a show. My


    stomach hurts fromughing…”


    Andrew frowned, feeling embarrassed. The vice treasurer was furious to the point that he started to


    tremble after hearing Gilbert’s words. He wanted nothing more than to rush over and p Gilbert a few


    times.


    For the sake of himself, Gilbert had ignored Heavenly Pills’ reputation. They were about to be thoroughly


    embarrassed. No matter what, it would be a humiliation that Heavenly Pills would not be able to wipe


    away.


    The vice treasurer shouted out, “Shut up right now! What nonsense are you talking about? If you don’t


    want to take part in this examination then get lost!”


    The vice treasurer was in absolute rage. When he spoke, his expression was incredibly vicious. He even


    had thoughts of killing Gilbert on the spot. Being berated like that caused Gilbert to realize that he had


    misspoken.

    Yet, there was no way for him to take back those words he had said. He coughed softly before hurriedly


    turning his head around, not daring to utter another word.


    There was no meaning to keeping silent anymore. Everyone already knew Jackie’s background and


    skills. Constance could not hold himself back fromughing out loud


    “Vice treasurer, don’t be angry. You might hurt yourself from the anger. I actually really admire the fact


    that Heavenly Pills managed to get such a fearless student.”


    Those words were full of mockery. The vice treasurer’s face soured even more. At that moment, he did


    not just want to kill Gilbert, he wanted to beat Jackie up as well. He felt like he was incredibly unlucky


    that day for him to be so thoroughly humiliated by the action of those two students.

    He took a deep breath, holding himself back from trying to argue with Constance. He knew that he would


    just be even more embarrassedter on if he tried to rebuke anything.


    He had known that Jackie had not revealed his full strength during the test before. Yet, no matter how


    talented Jackie was, there was no way Jackie could refine a sixth-grade pill!


    Rudy let out a light snort as he nced at Jackie. At the same time, Grayson and Rudy were actually in


    sync as they both looked at Jackie with thinly veiled disgust.


    At that point, Jackie seemed like someone who was trying to reach above his station. Itpletely


    disgusted the two of them. They even felt like it was a n insult to them for Jackie to be standing behind


    them.


    Grayson frowned as he said coldly, “If you don’t have the skills, then don’t try to show off so much. Who


    do you think you are to stand behind me?!


    “You’re only able to form three hundred pill runes, and you dare to try to refine a sixth-grade pill? Time


    can really tell what kind of a person they really are!”


    Rudy let out augh as he followed Grayson, “Is there something wrong with your head? Do you know


    that your actions have no meaning to them other than you beingughed at?


    “It’s not like your talents canpare to ours just because you’re standing behind us. Do you not know


    your ce?”


    Jackie helplessly sighed. Jackie hated those meaningless conflicts. He usually preferred to ignore all the


    nonsense.

    Chapter 2452


    There were too many usations being thrown out and too many insults. Even if he did not want to


    argue with those people, he was still forced to slowly raise his head.


    He looked into Rudy’s eyes which were filled with mockery. It was as if he was merely a dog in Rudy’s


    eyes.


    Jackie let out a coldugh, “So are you just going to listen to the dog that is barking the loudest?”


    Those words had managed to sessfully mock everyone there. He hadpared Gilbert to a dog and


    mocked everyone for listening to that dog. It had caused a change in expression on everyone’s faces.


    Gilbert almost lost himself to his anger. He could not believe that Jackie still managed to throw out such


    an insult even with things as they were. Gilbert was red in anger as he turned around to re at Jackie.


    He had wanted to shout back but was stopped by the vice treasurer. “It looks like you really don’t want to


    take part in the test anymore!


    That one sentence hadpletely stopped Gilbert from saving anything, Gilbert realized that he had


    heavily offended the vice treasurer.


    If he still insisted on fighting against Jackie, the vice treasurer might really pull him out. Then, he would


    not even be able to take part in the tests.


    Hence, he was forced to hold in all the anger in his heart as he protest against Jackie’s words with a


    re.

    Grayson and Rude were infuriated by those words earlier. They were already looking down on Jackie,


    thinking that Jackie was just a brainless, low-ss person


    Yet, the two of them could not believe that such a person actually dared to rebuke them with such


    Vicious words


    Rudy pointed at Jackie and said, “You’re really daring!


    Jackie let out a coldugh. He did not care how dark Rudy’s face looked or how angry Rudy was. He


    continued saying, “You’re a student, and I’m a student too. What’s the difference between us? Why are


    you saying all this? If you hadn’t been insulting me like that, I wouldn’t even have bothered with all of


    you!”


    Jackie’s words were heard by everyone present. Everyone felt like there was not just something wrong


    with Jackie’s head, he was probably crazy as well.


    Did he not know the consequences of his words? Even though Rudy was a student as well, Rudy’s worth


    was several times more than Jackie’s.


    Rudy was someone who could refine a sixth-grade pill whereas Jackie could only form three hundred pill


    runes. The two of them were far too different. Rudy was someone who would definitely be a sixth


    grade alchemist, an existence that everyone respected.


    Jackie’s future was unknown. Jackie had actually offended someone so wantonly. Rudy would definitely


    not let him off. Once Rudy bes a sixth – or even seventh-grade alchemist, Rudy would definitely


    deal with Jackie.


    Rudy’s face was red when he said, “Good! Very good! Brat, you’re the most daring person I’ve ever met.


    Remember the words you’ve said today. In the future, you’ll definitely pay for your words. Don’t cry when


    that happens!”


    Jackie raised an eyebrow as he answered nonchntly, “Of course, I’ll remember what I said today. I’ll


    remember what you said today as well.”


    Rudy saw that Jackie was not going to give way no matter what he said. If it continued, Rudy would


    definitely lose hisposure. No one expected Jackie to have such a stubborn mouth.


    Rudy was forced to swallow his anger and avert his gaze. Rudy even started to n how he would deal


    with Jackieter on.


    Chapter 2453 Grayson narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jackie in anger as well. He said in a cold tone,


    “It seems like you’vee here today just to embarrass yourself.”


    After saying that, Grayson turned away and remained silent. The sounds of the conflict had stopped, and


    everyone around was whispering in a discussion


    Elder Horst looked at Jackie meaningfully, as if he was looking at Jackie in a different light. Elder Horst


    was suddenly incredibly curious about Jackie, but he could naturally not say anything about it at that


    moment.


    When he say that everyone had already formed their groups, Elder Horst waved and said, “Come with


    me!


    Everyone followed Elder Horst in their respective groups. Elder Horst entered the spirit vessel. The


    interior of the vessel was filled with people hurrying around.


    They followed closely behind Elder Horst, twisting and turning before they finally arrived in a spacious


    room. The room was so spacious that it could already be considered a hall.


    The moment they stepped into the room, everyone could feel a dense pill aura around the atmosphere.


    The room was more thanrge enough for the eighty of them.


    Jackie did a bit of estimation. The room wasrge enough to amodate another hundred more


    people on top of them.


    The west end of the room had alchemical equipment. There were not just furnaces, there were even


    special mes lit up there.


    Elder Horst turned around and said in his jovial tone,


    Those who want to prove your talent and skills through refining a sixth-grade pill, head to the west end


    “Those who want to form pill runes to prove yourselves, stand on the east side and start forming the pill


    runes. The rest, wait for further instructions!


    After Elder Horst said that, Jackie walked over to the west. He ignored everything else as he put his


    focus on the pill furnace and the ingredients in front of the furnace.


    Jackie could tell what the ingredients were. They were the ingredients for an Energy Breaking Pill.


    Energy Breaking Pills were the mostmon and easiest to refine sixth-grade pills. Normally, test takers


    who wanted to refine a sixth-grade pill would choose that to prove their worth.


    Jackie had not nned on refining an Energy Breaking Pill. Even though the Energy Breaking Pill was


    easier and had a higher chance of sess, it is also worth less than other sixth-grade pills.


    He had wanted to refine an even more expensive pill. After he refined it, he would be able to sell the pill


    for spirit crystals.


    Jackie’s mind was filled with spirit crystals at that time. As long as he could get even more spirit crystals,


    he could ignore everything else. After all, he was pursuing the path of an alchemistpletely for the


    sake of gaining even more spirit crystals.


    Otherwise, he would never havee to this ce.


    Elder Horst arranged for three of them to stand before the first three furnaces. Grayson stood at the front


    while Rudy stood between Jackie and Grayson.


    Next to the furnace were a few small bowls that contained the materials for an Energy Breaking Pill.


    Elder Horst exined the rules simply, “You can try three times. If you fail all three times, it means you


    don’t have the right to be a sixth-grade alchemist.”


    When he said that, Elder Horst’s gaze had been on Jackie. It was as if those words were targeted at


    Jackie. Jackie raised an eyebrow, not caring about what Elder Horst had to say.


    Chapter 2454 Elder Horst let out a slight cough as he continued,” After you sessfully refine the pills,


    bring them to me for verification. You will have eight hours for the test. If you can’t refine the pill within


    eight hours, you will fail the test, so don’t be too slow.”


    The three of them nodded at practically the same time. After Elder Horst gave them their instructions, he


    arranged for a few workers to be their judges. The workers stood behind the three of them to make sure


    they did not do anything sketchy.


    After that, Elder Horst turned around and went to the other test-takers. Rudy narrowed his eyes as he


    nced at Jackie and said, “The most important step to refining a sixth-grade pill is the final step.


    However, the initial steps aren’t easy either. If you think you can’t do it, then don’t waste the materials.


    These ingredients aren’t cheap. You wouldn’t be able to afford it even if you sold yourself!”


    Jackie let out a light breath after hearing those words. He suddenly realized that he had lost the


    motivation to even open his mouth. He decided to ignore the guy and anything the guy would say.


    There was no point in replying anyway. Rudy looked down at him and thought that he could not refine a


    sixth-grade pill. Rudy also thought he was a low ss individual.


    No matter what he said, Rudy would not stop his insults anyway.


    Jackie let out a cold smile, not answering Rudy. He did not even bother looking at Rudy as he reached


    out his right hand to grab the materials to refine the Energy Breaking Pill. He slowly put the materials into


    the furnace one by one.


    The first step to refining a sixth-grade pill was to turn all those materials into liquid form. That step was a


    challenge for any alchemist. The higher the level of the pill, the harder the process was.


    However, anyone who dared to attempt refining a sixth-grade pill would have already been incredibly


    familiar with that step. The hardest was thest step, condensing the pill runes and fusing them with the


    pill.


    Only with a fifty percent refinement would the pill be consideredplete. That information shed


    through his mind as Jackie’s expression hardened. He immediately shut off everything around him.


    He put his full focus on the pill furnace. Jackie was incredibly focused, but the others around him were


    not. Grayson and Rudy were incredibly confident in themselves.


    Even dying it a little would not affect the end results, so they stopped their movements when Jackie


    was refining the pill. They stared at Jackie’s confident movements.


    “Why don’t we make a bet!” Just as Jackie threw himself into refining the pill, Rudy suddenly spoke to


    Grayson.


    Grayson raised an eyebrow. He did not have a good impression of Rudy, but he knew that Rudy was


    talented. Grayson could tell that Rudy might be able to pose a challenge to him.


    Even though he looked down on Rudy, Rudy was still much closer to his level than Jackie. He let out a


    smile as he nodded at Rudy’s words, “What do you want to bet on?”


    Rudy let out a meaningful smile and said, “Let’s bet on how far this brat can go.” Grayson was interested


    upon hearing that.


    He moved out of his position as he stood next to Rudy, looking at Jackie’s actions together.


    At that moment, Jackie was not aware of anything that was happening at all. Even though the two of


    them were staring right at him, Jackie did not realize It at all.


    Chapter 2455


    As long as it did not affect him refining the pill, the two of them could do whatever they wanted. It had


    nothing to do with him at all.


    “Even though I look down on this guy, he still dared to brag around so much. I think he should have some


    amount of talent. He shouldn’t have any problems going through the first two steps.” Grayson said


    inly.


    Rudy looked over at Grayson with a cold smile on his face and replied, “You seem very confident in this


    guy. I think what he said earlier was just all nonsense.


    “I think he’ll only get to the second step before he failspletely! I really want to see how this brat will


    face us after that.”


    Grayson took a deep breath. He could feel that Rudy’s anger at Jackie was much deeper than his own.


    Rudy’s eyes were practically on fire when he said those words. It was obvious how much he hated


    Jackie.


    Grayson let out a coldugh, “Then let’s see what happens. I feel like he should be able to get to thest


    step. It would be decent enough if he manages to get to a hundred pill runes.”


    After the two of them said all that, they shut their mouths at the same time as they quietly looked at


    Jackie.


    They looked on as Jackie took out thest spiritual grass. That spiritual grass was called dragon bone


    grass. It got its name because it looked like a dragon’s bone. It was thest and most important


    ingredient to refining an Energy Breaking Pill.


    As long as he sessfully refined it into liquid and mix it with the others, the first step would be


    completely done.


    Even though the first step was not too difficult for most people, it needed a lot of practice. A lot of effort


    and resources have to be put inside.


    The reason why most people were not willing to be alchemists was that alchemy used up a lot of


    time and spirit crystals. It was why most students were forced to rely on backers.


    That was because it was incredibly difficult to improve alone. With a light sound, all the heat that Jackie


    controlled was forced onto the dragon bone grass.


    The dragon bone grass suddenly started to smoke. It was quickly turning into a faint green liquid, mixing


    into the other liquids that Jackie had refined earlier. His movements looked incredibly practiced.


    Those movements looked like they had been done tens of thousands of times. There was no hesitation


    and not a single mistake. Looking at that, Rudy raised an eyebrow


    Grayson whispered, “It looks like this guy has practiced liquifying materials a lot. Even I would only be on


    par with him. It’s quite surprising.”


    After hearing that, Rudy let out a snort, “You really are confident in him. We were just talking about our


    bet just now, but we never put anything on the line. Why don’t we…”


    After that, Rudy turned around to face Grayson. At that moment, Rudy’s expression turned serious, as if


    a grand decision was about to be made.
