Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi and Lu Sanjian were talking and laughing, and time flew by.

Unknowingly, all the assessments inside were completed and the door slowly opened.

Many alchemy apprentices walked out, each with a different look on their face.

Some people are happy, some are sad, some have expressionless faces, some want to be reserved but can't hold back their smiles...

Tang Yungui came out from a relatively far back position. Lin Yi saw the confusion on his face, and his heart suddenly sank.

Things don't seem to be going right!

Could it be that there was an accident?

Two students from Qingshan Alchemy Academy came over first, one was in a good mood and the other was a little depressed.

Lu Sanjian knew it as soon as he saw it, but he still asked about the situation as usual.

"The student is ashamed... In the third round of the alchemy assessment, he failed to make the elixir. Failure means he will be eliminated... I'm sorry, Dean!"

Those who are depressed do have reasons to be depressed. They have reached the last step, but they have failed in the end!

Failure in refining alchemy is a complete failure, leaving no room for fantasy.

Another student who was in a good mood suppressed some of his happy smile and pretended to be calm: "The student's alchemy was successful, but I don't know how the score will be, and the student can't say whether he will pass the test!"

This is to take care of the mood of the person next to him. Judging from his appearance, he should be performing well and has a high chance of passing the test.

While talking, Tang Yungui had also walked over and bowed deeply to Lin Yi with a face of shame.

"What's wrong? The alchemy failed?"

Lin Yi did not blame him, but said softly: "It doesn't matter if you fail. At worst, we will directly assess higher-level alchemists! Failure is the mother of success. The important thing is to have this experience and learn from it..."

"Master, the disciple's alchemy refining is not considered a failure... In the end, he managed to make the elixir, but the quality is very low. The disciple failed to live up to the master's teachings. This level is actually almost the same as failure!"

Tang Yungui really felt ashamed.

He felt that the alchemy techniques and experience that Lin Yi taught him were of the highest level, and if the alchemy could not reach the highest quality, it should be considered a failure.

But this time, it failed to reach even medium quality. It was indeed no different from the failure of alchemy!

"With such a level, it is difficult for a disciple to pass the test... I am ashamed of my master's teachings!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but curl his lips, what's wrong with this kid! It doesn’t matter if the grade is low, just become a pill!

Unfortunately, I thought he had failed and wanted to comfort him...

But having said that, Lin Yi thinks that Tang Yungui's vision is too high? You actually think that low-grade elixirs are failures?

It is normal for an unfamiliar elixir recipe to be refined for the first time to produce a low-grade elixir!

Lin Yi was about to say some words of comfort when Ouyang Fantong appeared behind Tang Yungui and sneered: "You can't hold yourself up to the wall, but you finally have some self-awareness, so you're not completely hopeless!"

Lin Yi frowned slightly and resisted the urge to slap this kid to death.

After all, Ouyang Fantong is also the one who carries the name of Fuyao Alchemy Academy. If he really takes action, the reputation of Fuyao Alchemy Academy will be completely ruined across the entire continent.

--Shock!

The honorary dean is jealous of talents and beats up talented students!

Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature? !

A title like this will probably become a joke for many people after dinner.

"Dean Sima, thank you for your teaching. The student assessment went very well, and the final alchemy was also very smooth. I guess there will be no problem in passing the assessment to get the title of Gold Level Alchemy Apprentice!"

Ouyang Fantong didn't know that he had already passed through the gate of hell, and he was still showing off in front of Lin Yi. He really didn't know how to write the word "death"!

Lin Yi's frown deepened, feeling that something was really wrong!

Ouyang Fantong's alchemy ability is not as good as Tang Yungui's. Even if he doesn't use the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, Tang Yungui's alchemy fire is purer than Ouyang Fantong's!

Putting aside the alchemy fire, Tang Yungui is even better than Ouyang Fantong in terms of alchemy techniques!

Those are Lin Yi's top-notch methods that have been honed through countless previous experiences. How can Ouyang Fantong's compare?

Since Tang Yungui completely beats Ouyang Fantong in all aspects, then why does this kid dare to say that it is smoother than Tang Yungui?

"Everyone, please go back first! The qualified list will be announced tomorrow!"

A steward from the Alchemy Association came out of the door of the hall. After making a loud announcement, he turned around and went in.

So people from various colleges outside began to disperse.

Ouyang Fantong ignored Lin Yi and left without even saying hello, obviously he had no scruples anymore.

"Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back!"

Lin Yi glanced at Ouyang Fantong who was walking away, nodded slightly to Lu Sanjian, and walked out slowly.

Lu Sanjian sighed. It seemed that the thing he was most worried about had happened!

Since Ouyang Fantong passed the assessment so smoothly, Tang Yungui should have failed!

Back at the inn, Ouyang Fantong didn't come back, and Lin Yi didn't bother to care where he went, just thinking he was a wild dog.

After inviting Lu Sanjian and the two students from Qingshan Alchemy Academy who were taking the assessment into the living room of the small courtyard to sit down, Lin Yi asked straight to the point: "You three, please tell me the recipe for alchemy!"

Lin Yi wanted to see if the pill recipes during the assessment were all different.

If it is the same recipe, there is no reason why Tang Yungui would lose to Ouyang Fantong, as well as those from other colleges.

Lu Sanjian nodded slightly. He also had doubts in this regard, so he motioned to the two students to talk things over.

After the three people finished talking, they found that the prescriptions were exactly the same. Lin Yi frowned immediately.

This elixir recipe is indeed somewhat difficult, and ordinary gold-level alchemy apprentices cannot refine it at all!

It was really not easy for Tang Yungui to manage to become an elixir. How did others accomplish it?

Could it be that there are really so many people whose level of alchemy far exceeds that of Tang Yungui?

Ouyang Fantong does have some strength. Even if he can barely refine it, it won't be so smooth, right?

And how come the student who passed the Qingshan Academy also succeeded in refining it with such ease?

This seems a bit illogical.

"How did you two make elixirs? Can you tell me?"

Lin Yi was asking about two students from Qingshan Alchemy Academy.

Lin Yi didn't know what their strength was, so he wanted to compare it with Tang Yungui through questioning.

Let me talk about the one who failed first. He used a very common method, nothing special, but something went wrong midway, causing the alchemy to fail.

Lin Yi nodded, it was normal to fail, so he looked at the successful student.

Could it be that this is also a genius?

The successful student spoke up: "The student started out pretty much the same, but in the middle, he felt like he couldn't control the heat. He was so flustered that he didn't bother to add new medicinal materials according to the procedure, and tried his best to control the elixir fire."
