Legend of Reborn Alchemist

Regardless of whether he used his will to sense it or his Yuan energy to investigate, he could not figure out how the Spirit-measuring Stone was used to test the Spirit Qi. He knew that his Cultivation Level was too low, so he could only give up.    

"Lin Cheng, hurry up and circulate the Profound Arts!" Suddenly, Zhu Ziqiao's voice rang in his ears.    

Lin Cheng came back to his senses and turned his head to look. Only then did he realize that everyone was staring at him. Most of them had a mocking and disdainful look on their faces, but Jing Feiyang's face had a trace of joy.    

He was slightly startled, and then he understood. These people thought that his talent was not good because they saw that there was no reaction from the Spirit-measuring Stone, but Jing Feiyang felt that his chance had come.    

He shook his head in his heart. Lin Cheng didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately circulated the Heavenly Profound Arts with all his strength, and poured the Yuan Qi he had absorbed into the Spirit-measuring Stone.    

Swoosh!    

In an instant, a dazzling white light was emitted from the Spirit-measuring Stone. This white light was so dazzling that it caused the surrounding people to subconsciously look away, not daring to look directly at it.    

On Zhu Ziqiao's charming face, a smile gradually bloomed.    

"Little thief, I knew you would be able to do it!" The girl thought to herself.    

"What a blinding light!"    

"What... talent is this?"    

"White Light, this is clearly the lowest spirit energy affinity, but why is it so dazzling?"    

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, and even the several exam teachers present couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions.    

In the Spirit-measuring Stone's test level, purple was the highest, and red was the worst. As for white light, that was a performance that was even worse than red light in terms of spirit energy affinity. Usually, it was a weak white light that was almost invisible to the naked eye.    

They had never heard of such a dazzling white light, let alone seen it with their own eyes.    

Blinding white light, what level of spiritual energy affinity was this?    

Just as everyone was shocked, the white light on the Spirit-measuring Stone suddenly disappeared. It was as if the Spirit-measuring Stone was suddenly covered by something. Not even a trace of light remained. It had all disappeared.    

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and even lost their minds for a moment.    

Lin Cheng was even more shocked. What was going on? Why did the white light disappear?    

He immediately concentrated and used his mind to investigate, but the result made him extremely shocked. He discovered that the Yuan Qi he poured into the Spirit-measuring Stone... As soon as he poured in, it crazily surged outwards, as if it was attracted by a massive vortex.    

And the source of this vortex... was actually his body!    

Black Iron Chunk!    

Lin Cheng quickly discovered the culprit behind the disappearance of the white light. It was actually the Black Iron Chunk that he had tied around his chest, the treasure that Lu Yuanshan had stolen from the immortal tomb!    

Lin Cheng could clearly feel the natural Yuan energy that was absorbed by the Heavenly Profound Arts. He poured it into the Spirit-measuring Stone, but it didn't stop for even a moment. In an instant, it crazily rushed into the Black Iron Chunk in front of his chest.    

"Stop!"    

Lin Cheng roared in his heart. He immediately used his mind to guide the Yuan Qi, wanting to pour it into the Spirit-measuring Stone once again.    

However, no matter how hard he tried, the Black Iron Chunk was like a bottomless pit. It was still crazily absorbing the Yuan Qi in the Spirit-measuring Stone, making it impossible for him to stop it!    

"Ha!"    

A person suddenly sneered. "I thought it was some extraordinary talent, but it turns out it's just a bluff!"    

"It really scared me to death!"    

"Haha..."    

The surrounding people burst into laughter. Seeing a person fail the test was far more comfortable than seeing a genius appear.    

In fact, Zhu Ziqiao's stunning performance in the test just now... Now, when they saw Lin Cheng taking the test... It was just a fleeting moment. The Spirit-measuring Stone did not have any reaction. They immediately heaved a long sigh of relief.    

"That's more like it! How could they all be geniuses!?"    

"Even if there is a genius, he wouldn't be a youth that is similar to himself!"    

Regardless of whether it was the way Lin Cheng dressed or the weapon in his hand, they all appeared very shabby. Many of the people who came to participate in the exam came from wealthy families. Some of them were even from noble families or even royal families. Even princes, princesses, or even princes would not care about them.    

And many of these people had only barely passed the test.    

If Lin Cheng's performance was too stunning, it would be strange if they felt comfortable.    

"All of you, shut up!"    

Zhu Ziqiao was so angry that her pretty face turned red. Her beautiful eyes widened. "Leave virtue behind in your mouth. Otherwise, it will only make people hate you!"    

Many people felt stifled.    

This genius girl whose affinity with spiritual energy was deep blue was angry. It made their hearts skip a beat and their laughter stopped abruptly.    

This was a future Almighty of the Immortal Dao, or even a powerhouse of a region. If they offended her now, the consequences would probably not be good, so many people tactfully chose to shut up.    

However, some of them were still unconvinced in their hearts. They couldn't help but secretly twitch their lips. Not only did they mock Lin Cheng for his useless talent, they were also envious and jealous of Zhu Ziqiao's extraordinary talent.    

"Trash is trash. No matter how you protect him, it won't change the fact that he is trash!" A voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. The direction of the voice was erratic. It was obvious that someone was deliberately hiding his position and was unwilling to face Zhu Ziqiao directly.    

"Humph!"    

Zhu Ziqiao suddenly turned her head and swept her gaze across. With a cold snort, she turned her head to look at Lin Cheng and said loudly, "Use all of your strength to activate the Profound Arts and do as you did just now!"    

However, Lin Cheng was smiling bitterly at this moment.    

He also wanted to use the Profound Arts to make the Spirit-measuring Stone light up. But the problem was... The unknown Black Iron Chunk in front of his chest was like a bottomless pit. He had already pushed the Heavenly Profound Arts to its limit. However, the Black Iron Chunk did not stop at all. It continued to absorb the Yuan Qi within the Spirit-measuring Stone.    

Lin Cheng's heart was filled with ruthlessness. He gritted his teeth and continued circulating the Profound Arts with all his strength. He wanted to see how long this Black Iron Chunk could absorb.    

At the same time, he wanted to know what this Black Iron Chunk was!    

This Black Iron Chunk had been following him for several months, but it had never revealed any unusual phenomenon. Apart from the unknown material, it was no different from a piece of black iron.    

But now that he was undergoing the spirit energy affinity test, the Spirit-measuring Stone had just lit up when this Black Iron Chunk suddenly had a reaction.    

Lin Cheng could not help thinking, "Could it be that this thing only reacted when it came into contact with the spiritual energy?"    

He immediately gave up on this idea.    

"No! If there was a reaction to the spiritual energy, then when I used the Spirit Stone to cultivate, the spirit energy contained within the Spirit Stone is much, much richer than the spirit energy contained within my pure Yuan Qi absorption. Why didn't the Black Iron Chunk react at that time? "    

Lin Cheng thought quickly in his heart, but his hands did not stop. He continued pouring Yuan Qi into the Spirit-measuring Stone.    

"Someone reported to me that a genius appeared at this test site?"    

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded. In the next moment, a figure flew over and landed in the middle of the field.    

It was a beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she wore a regular outfit. However, it was difficult to conceal her luxurious and arrogant aura.    

"Elder Shui!"    

"Greetings, Elder Shui!"    

When the teachers in charge of the examination saw this woman, they hurriedly stepped forward and clasped their fists in greeting.    

Elder Shui snorted and asked, "I heard that a dark blue genius has appeared at this examination point?"    

The teacher in charge of the examination immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Elder Shui. It is this young girl called Zhu Ziqiao. Her Spiritual Qi affinity has reached the dark blue level. She is a genius!"    

Elder Shui followed his line of sight and his gaze landed on Zhu Ziqiao. After sizing her up, he nodded slightly. "Oh! Deep blue was also very rare. You are called Zhu Ziqiao, right? Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and cultivate with me?"    

" Swish! "    

Instantly, the few teachers in charge of the examination couldn't help but reveal envious expressions, envious of Zhu Ziqiao's good luck.    

The teacher at the examination point hurriedly said, "Zhu Ziqiao, hurry up and acknowledge me as your master. This is Shui Hui and Elder Shui. She is the Seventh Elder of our Dongzhou College. She is an expert who has stepped into the Cultivation Realm. Being able to become her disciple is a rare opportunity and a great fortune!"    

Hua!    

As soon as he said this, the surrounding people instantly went into an uproar. Everyone was shocked, envious, and even somewhat in disbelief.    

An elder of the Dongzhou College would actually accept a new disciple as his disciple?    

Furthermore, this elder Shui Hui was actually an expert who had stepped into Cultivation Realm. This really made many people's jealous hearts bleed.    

Being able to be taken in by a cultivator was equivalent to having one foot in the door of Cultivation Realm. The benefits obtained were simply unimaginable!    

When everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Ziqiao, many people were slightly startled and could not help but feel bitter in their hearts.    

They almost forgot that this was a genius with a dark blue affinity with spiritual energy. It was no wonder that even the academy's elders were tempted and had the idea of taking in a disciple.    

However, what surprised everyone was that Zhu Ziqiao did not speak. She only stared at Lin Cheng who was taking the test with a trace of worry on her face.    

"Little thief, try harder!" Zhu Ziqiao shouted in her heart.    

"Hmph!"    

Seeing that Zhu Ziqiao actually did not pay attention to her question, Shui Hui's face immediately sank slightly.    

When the teacher in charge of the examination saw this, he immediately took two steps forward and shouted, "The examination time has passed. Lin Cheng, did not pass and did not pass the examination!"    

After saying that, he took a step forward and was about to push Lin Cheng away.    

"Stop!"    

Zhu Ziqiao shouted and angrily said, "If you dare to touch him, I will be irreconcilable with you!"    

The exam teacher suddenly froze and stopped walking towards Lin Cheng. Although Zhu Ziqiao was only a Body-refining Stage Cultivation Level now, he was already a Chakra Stage expert. However, he was still afraid of offending Zhu Ziqiao.
