Chapter 90: Chapter 90 The World Has Become Mysterious (Part 2)

“Snap!”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the man in the black robe set down his brush. He picked up his exam paper from the table, lightly blew the ink dry, and walked toward the three judges.

Elder He put his exam paper aside and glanced at the not yet fully burnt incense before speaking indistinctly, “There’s only one-tenth of the time left. I hope everyone can pick up the pace. If you don’t hand in your paper when time is up, you’ll be eliminated.”

What could one accomplish in one-tenth of the time?

Some people couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat, yet Mu Ruyue remained calm and composed as she wrote her words, as if she hadn’t heard anything.

“Could it be that I was wrong?” Elder Huo frowned. “‘All these are but basic knowledge, and yet she needs so much time? Could it be that she’s not the dark horse of this competition? Perhaps the Slumber Mist was just a fluke.”

...

The last bit of incense fell to the ground, and Mu Ruyue finished writing the last stroke just as the incense burned out.

“She’s quite lucky to have caught up in the last second,” Qin Feifei watched Mu Ruyue walking toward the judges’ seats with a cold gaze and smirked. She had thought this woman wouldn’t even pass the knockout round.

But it was only interesting for her if that was the case, wasn’t it? If the opponent was too weak, then crushing them wouldn’t be any fun. So, Qin Feifei was actually quite hopeful that she would pass the elimination round.

“Alright, time’s up. Everyone put down your brushes and wait for the results.”

Upon hearing this, the young ones who didn’t finish walked down dejectedly, knowing they were definitely eliminated this time.

Elder He ignored the expressions of the others and began reading the contestants’ papers with Elder Huo, while Elder Qin sat cold-faced on the side, not sparing the papers a single glance.

In his heart, he had already made a decision; what difference did it make to look or not?

“Elder Huo, look at what this person wrote,” suddenly, Elder He got excited, holding an exam paper, “Now I understand. Last time I used Fire Cloud Grass and Starlight Seed to refine an elixir and kept failing because the furnace exploded. It turns out I was missing an ingredient. And this, I’ve never before heard of this effect of Purple Cloud Skin…”

If the exam paper had been a haphazard scribble, Elder He wouldn’t have been so excited. However, the paper included detailed explanations that forced him to believe its contents.

Moreover, the paper was a lengthy piece, breaking down every ingredient of the medicinal herbs very clearly. Many were things they had never heard of before, including over ten elixir formulas.

“Mu Ruyue…” Elder He murmured the name, with his eyes shining with excitement. “This person must be a genius, no doubt. She’s absolutely a genius.”

A person’s memory is limited. Even if these were taught by her master, how could she know so much? Even Qingyu only managed to write six formulas.

“What?” Elder Huo snatched the paper over. Looking at the contents, he had a moment of sudden realization. “So that’s it. I wondered why I failed refining the Three-Element Pill last time. It turns out this is why.”

“I wasn’t finished reading yet! What are you snatching for!” Elder He glared at him fiercely, quickly snatching the paper back into his own hands. As he read on, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of clarity.

“You…”

Seeing the old man’s shamelessness, Elder Huo was so annoyed he puffed out his cheeks and glared, but he had no other choice. He could only lean in and read the paper together with Elder He.
