Outside, Jordan was still waiting, something in his mind told him that the person he was looking for will try out the alchemy guild and he just wanted to thrust his mind in this one.
After the exam, a new guy walked into the exam hall, he is the P.R.O of the alchemy guild.
And he was going to be the one marking the exam today.
He sat on the chair that was opposite the table all the exam papers were laying on.
He took out his pen and picked the first book on the top, Zonad is a high ranker in the guild, his was higher than that of the P.R.O and he already has something in mind which was to see what the score of Liam would be.
The first person got fifty percent, which was the pass Mark, any one below that would be considered as fail.
The P.R.O was really fast at marking that someone would even doubt if he was reading them before ticking or giving a cross for bad.
When he was done marking the first set, his expression did not change until he got to the second to the last whose words were finely written and most of his answers were correct.
The person ended up going with a 89 percent all in all.
Zonad eyes let out a cold light when it reached the last one.
Then he got to the last one, the handwriting wasn't that beautiful as the first but the work was finely spaced and the written was legible for even the old to see.
After reading all the answers.
"This was a new set of questions that the headquarter gave not too long ago, right and today is the first day we are displaying it."
"Yes, why do you ask, if it was about this one I knew that he was going to fail, he came in late and summited after fifty minutes even getting ahead of the first comers."
"Who is this person you are talking about, he came in late and yet his answers are so correct."
"I knew his answers would be incorrect... wait did you just say correct?" Zonad body shook with shock, he was getting too ahead of himself and could not even open the book and now he was humiliating himself in the presence of his inferior.
After marking, the results was called out.
Out of fifty persons, only ten was qualified for the forging test.
After hearing all the name that was called, tang Yu still a glance at Liam and saw that he wasn't moving at all as though he wasn't one of them.
He was about to say nonsensical words when Liam suddenly stood up and starting walking towards the forging exam hall to the horror or Tang xu.
However he smiled and said jokingly to Liam, "What was your score, you're the one who scored 50 right. it's expected though considering that you came in late and came out Early."
"My name is Liam" Liam let out before leaving.
Tang xu thought that Liam was only telling him his name because he has been addressing with kid and other names all this while.
Nevertheless he could see the frozen face of the guy next to him, the one he was discussing with.
"Tang xu, Liam is the one who got everything correct."
"Wait, Liam was the one who aced everything, how is that possible he came in late and was able to ace everything, at such a young age.." He did not know what to say anymore, he was trying to let Liam know his place but he was more than shocked to hear that he did not only pass but aced the exam.
Liam and the other nine gathered at the pill forging room, the person in charge was a middle age lady.
Inside this place there was a large numbers of cauldron, the cauldrons was spaced well between each other, ten persons can surround one cauldron and there would also be space for another fat person to pass, with the amount of cauldrons and the space, it wasn't really difficult for one to tell that this place was really big.
The ten cauldrons they will be using was arranged in front of a table that the ingredients they will be using on it.
Liam identified his cauldron first and looked at the ingredients which he was able to tell that it was for blood cleansing pill, meridian eruption pill and qi pill however he discovered that there was one ingredients missing which he went to inform the lady about it.
She was really surprised of his keen was eyesight, the ingredients removed was also part of the test.
But Liam was able to find out with one glance and was even wise enough to report quietly, if he has reported openly the others would be given the privilege to take that ingredients while he would be punished with one star subtraction from his alchemy star.
Meaning that he completed the exam and he ended up becoming a 4-star alchemy master, one star would be removes and he will be given three stars.
The ingredients was given to him, he was warned against showing it to anyone which he did.
There is no body here that would be able to make him sacrifice his alchemy rank.
After few minutes which was given for them to get used to their ingredients and materials the forging test finally kicked off.
They were not specific about what pill they were going to make but if one was really good with ingredients he would be able to tell that the pill they are asked to forge was just in front of them.
The one with eighty nine percent score earlier, was the first to begin his pill forging process.
Although, his method was quite different from that of Liam.
To forge his first pill was the qi pill, he shrouded all the ingredients in a small energy ball and took it down to the fireplace, then he started using his other hands index finger to control energy that dropped one ingredients at a time.
One must say that his method was really rare and there seems to be no problem with forging like that.
Liam table was opposite this guy meaning that the two of them was facing each other.
He found that alchemy technique quite unique and he set his system to steal the technique for him, which the system began by first analyzing the technique.
Liam then began his own forging, he conjured up golden flame and lit up the cauldron with it, after that he started placing the ingredients inside one after the other just the way he has learnt it.
The test was not about how fast but it about how well, so he took his time with it.
He did not rush at all with the process.
After placing all the ingredients for the qi pill it was now time to control his flame that has been a surprise to other because it was a very rare divine flame and was compatible for alchemy more than the azure flame.
He controlled the flame like a pro, all this while the lady in charge of the pill forging exam observed him.
She started observing him right from the moment he spotted the unavailability of the ingredients that was really really important for the qi pill and the meridian opening pill, making him the only one among the others that has spotted it.
But he wasn't the only one there, the dude with 89 soon found out about it but his reaction was really stupid and an opposite of Liam's.
"The ingredients is not complete," He said to the lady who kept a smile on her face as she looked at him.
Nevertheless the dude looked around and realize he was in the midst of others, thus he rushed to the lady and quietly let his intention known for screaming earlier.
He was given the ingredients but he failed to hide it from the eyes of others, Liam was too focused on his pill forging process and didn't even get to see how the dude has just loosed one star.
If he ended up with one star at the end of the test, he will have to take the exams again.
Zero star master alchemist does not exist, meaning that after this exam he would still be a beginner and would have to take the exam over again.
The other students who saw his hands, started rushing to the lady to get theirs and it was given to them.
Meanwhile, at that moment, Liam was almost done with his qi pill.
According to the system, the qi pill will give off a weak heat wave and a strong medicinal smell when it's done forging.
Although keeping it for a moment more won't change it, still taking it out immediately after getting the above mentioned observation will make it even purer.
