After a short while, the pressure in the room that had been quiet suddenly dropped. At the same time, a third person appeared in the room.

He was about twenty years old, with long black hair that reached his ankles, and a single piece of black cloth that was loosely tied around him. He had clear eyes and was abnormally handsome, and his lips were slightly pursed.

"Good morning, Master Words." Pei Shu only glanced at him once before lowering her head hurriedly. She did not dare look up and could only bow her head in greeting.

The person did not reply and only lowered his eyes to look at An Jiang's chess board. An Jiang saw that his unspoken words that had been out for a hundred years had unexpectedly come to find him. He knew that something was amiss and waved his hand, indicating for Pei Shu to leave.

Pei Shu also did not expect that Master Words would come to visit the President. She hurriedly left, closing the door behind her.

Even after they had left the house, Pei Shu had not recovered her composure. She had met Master Words once when he was young and he was no different from what he was today. If she were to speak of any differences, it was the aura around him that made her feel even more pressured.

She suddenly felt the wetness on her face and realized that it must have been raining for some time now. Seeing how wet the ground was, she realized that she had not seen even a single droplet of water, let alone a wet shirt, when she had glanced at Master Words.

The name of the dictionary had been around the Eastern Xuan Continent for a long time, and those who had the luck to see it could probably count with one hand.

Pei Shu was secretly guessing at the purpose of these words. After a long while, she still hadn't come to a conclusion, but before she could figure it out, the president's door suddenly opened. She was shocked, so quickly?!

She quickly lowered her head and saw a black robe float past her and felt the pressure on her body drop. Only then did Pei Shu dare to raise her head and look at the figure walking in the rain, seeing the spirit energy surround her and evaporate all the rain, she was even more surprised. She had seen people who gathered spirit energy to block the rain, and had also seen people who used their spirit energy to block all the rain, but she had never seen anyone who used her spirit energy to vaporize the rain …

How powerful must one's ability be …?

Pei Shu could not help but raise her spirit energy in an attempt to evaporate the rainwater in her palm as per her own words. Even when she used all her strength, she could only evaporate fifty-to sixty percent of the rainwater in her hands.

He couldn't help but respect these words even more.

At this moment, An Jiang was clenching his teeth in anger. He looked at the pieces of paper on the chessboard and recalled the words that had just been said. No matter how he looked at it, he was filled with anger!

Even though An Jiang was feeling a bit depressed himself, before he could understand what was going on, the selection competition had already begun like a raging fire.

"President, in the past few days, a total of 38,569 competitors have been registered. There are almost half of the number you would expect." Pei Shu took the register and reported it to Anjiang.

With his reputation in the East Xuan Continent, it was not surprising for him to be here in large numbers. He nodded, "Since there are so many people here, we should give it a try. Don't waste our Alchemy Association's medicinal herbs for nothing."

"Yes."

"I wonder what will be the additional test for the guild leader's test?" Xie Lingxi was the one who spoke. He and Xie Shufei had been silently observing the people who came over these past few days. There were many good seedlings among them, but there were also quite a few vicious and benevolent people.

In the first round of concocting, Xie Lingxi felt that it was a great pity that they were wasting the medicinal herbs of the Alchemy Association. Now that the president asked for an additional test, it was exactly what he wanted.

"Let them split up into white ginger and black grass. It is enough to select three thousand people to participate in the next round. You four can go and choose."

When they heard that An Jiang had only selected five thousand people out of thirty thousand people, the four people in the room didn't show any surprise, as if this was how it should be.

On the day of the selection competition, when Pei Shu announced that she was going to give it another try, many people in the audience had different opinions. There were even many who protested.

"Didn't you say that it would be better than three matches for a total of seven days? Why did you give it another try?"

"Exactly! Even the Alchemy Association would not go back on their word! "

"…"

Regardless of what the crowd said, Pei Shu turned a deaf ear to them and read the book in her hands, "This additional test is the first test. Those who pass can take part in the next three exams.

Pei Shu's merciless words caused the voices below to gradually subside.

"After the third sound of the drum, our competition officially begins. If anyone wants to leave, feel free to do so." Pei Shu signaled Lu Fei, who was wearing a tight suit, to start drumming beside the gongs and drums.

The spiritual energy in Lu Fei's hand revolved around the red drumstick, and a booming sound reverberated throughout the entire Alchemy Association's arena.

Dong

Dong

After the third sound of the drum, not a single person left. Lu Fei's disappointed expression was obvious. How could these people not know what was good for them?

"Since no one is leaving, you will enter the room to my left in succession. You will be able to pick the required herbs within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Then, you have passed the test."

Hearing that the additional test was just to select an herb, many people revealed a look of disdain. After all, this was just choosing an herb, and the Pill Refining Association was not simply insulting.

Those who were anxious had already headed towards the room.

But only five hundred people went in at a time.

Jun Qiyan stood in the crowd, quietly looking at the incense stick burning on the stage. The incense stick ignited very quickly, and in a short moment, five hundred people were sent out.

All of them walked towards the door dejectedly.

Those who had yet to enter were all amazed. It was just an herb, yet not even one out of five hundred people had passed?

Their relaxed mood gradually turned heavy. Could it be that they were not just choosing herbs?

After a few batches of people entered, none of them passed. Everyone's expression became more serious.

Li Yan happened to be in this group. He entered the room with a nervous feeling, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a sign on the wall saying, Pick out the white ginger and it will pass.

It was the most basic herb for medicinal pills. Li Yan gradually relaxed as he saw the people around him relax. He suddenly had a question in his mind, why was it that no one had passed the first few batches of questions for such a simple question?

When he arrived at the herb picking area, he suddenly understood why a single basic herb would be hard to find among so many heroes.
