Chapter 181 CHAPTER 180: The Open Alchemy Contest-1

"Hmph!"  Bolin snorted and thought, "Alright, then let's see whether this old man's eyes are wrong or you have gone crazy."

At that time, Elder Wang reappeared beside Joey and Hai Yun.

"Young Master Joey, you are late. Please, follow me quickly." Elder Wang said.

Joey looked at Hai Yun with a smile.

"Go! I will be cheering for you from here." Hai Yun said with a lovely smile.

"Sister Hai Yun, don't worry. I will win this contest and bring the Parasol wood for you." Joey said telepathically to her mind and left following elder Wang toward the platform.

When they stepped up inside the platform, one of the elders shouted, "Leave! You are late and fail to register before the trial begins."

"He is the main representative contestant of my Hall of Alchemy Union, Yueliang City headquarter. His name is already on the quota lists.  " Elder Wang said. Then, he took out a blue card with the logo of the Hall of Alchemy Union and showed it to him.

"Alright, alright, sit there and start your test." The man responded pointing at a vacant table and he continued speaking pointing at the burning incense stick, "You have to submit your answer before that incense stick burnt out. Um, now you have only fifteen minutes left for the first trial."

"Young Master Joey, I will take my leave too. Good luck!" Elder Wang said with a smile.

Joey nodded at him. Then, Elder Wang rushed out of the platform quickly and came beside Grand Elder Yuchi Jiang.

Joey then sat on the table, picked up the piece of paper on the table, and started reading it. He kept reading it for a few minutes. Then, he picked up a blank paper and a pen on the table and started writing down his answer on it.

Dong! Dong! Dong! (Sound of Chinese drum)

"Times up! Submit your answer." An elder shouted.

Then one by one, all the contestants submitted that answer sheets to those elders nearby.

The ten elders started checking those answer sheets.

After half an hour, one of the elders suddenly stood up and picked up an answer sheet. Then he quickly rushed toward those ten luxurious seats at the edge of the platform.

He stood before the main Alchemy Chief of the Hall of the Alchemy Union of the whole Central Continent, Jugge Huan.

He bowed slightly to him and said politely, " Chief Jugge Huan, I have a problem. "

"Elder Liu, you can tell me." Jugge Huan responded.

Elder Liu passed the answer sheet on his hand to him and said politely, "Chief Jugge Huan, I am not qualified enough to grade this answer sheet. Please, check it for me."

Jugge Huan looked at the answer sheet and started checking it out.

"What!" He suddenly stood up and exclaimed. "Ahem! Ahem!" Then, he coughed twice feeling embarrassed for losing his manners in front of everyone.

After that, he sat back in his seat and started calming himself down quickly. Then, he continued checking the answer sheet again. Then he checked the name of the top.

"So, his name is Joey. What a brilliant idea! His idea on the refining of various herbs and the way to mix them all together is so good. This will completely change all the current knowledge of Alchemy in this world. Even I don't know how to grade this answer sheet." Jugge Huan murmured to himself.

Then he started checking the answer to the next question. It was regarding how to cultivate and nurture different herbs in different seasons of a year and the various ways to harvest them.

"Wow! His answer seems to be in a bit conventional way but this way is much better than what we know of now. " He thought in his mind.

The last question was about the formula of a tier-9 pill name called 'Grand Supreme God breaking Pill. It was a pill that will help a cultivator increase the possibility of breaking into the Supreme God realm of the cultivation base.

"Excellent! He has listed all the main ingredient herbs of that pill. He even added more auxiliary herbs to enhance the quality of it. Also, his description of concocting it is totally new to the one we knew of. I don't even know if this method will be possible to concoct the Tier-9 Grand Supreme God breaking Pill." He murmured again to himself.

Then he carefully folded the answer sheet like his most precious thing and put it inside his space ring.

After that, he looked at the elder Liu and asked, "Elder Liu, do you know which among them is Joey?"

"Sorry, I don't know." Elder Liu responded.

The other 9 eminent figures sitting on the luxurious seats also looked at them curiously.

"Chief Jugge Huan, I know that boy. It is him." Grand Elder Yuhi Jiang responded excitedly and pointed at the tall and handsome youth among the participants that was wearing a pair of golden bars earrings.

"Um," Chief Jugge Huan nodded and turned his head toward Joey.

Then, he started making various hand seals while using essence qi, finally touched his eyes, and mumbled, "All Heavenly Uncovering Eye Technique, activate!"

After that, he started scanning Joey's body from head to toes.

At that time, Joey looked back at him with a friendly smile once and turned back.

"Eh, what the hell! That boy is a mere mortal. I don't even feel an iota of essence qi from inside his body. What is going on? Is it even possible? " Jugge Huan exclaimed with surprise and started asking a series of questions.

In this world, even those mere mortals who didn't even cultivate will have a bit of essence qi inside their body as they breathed in the air which contained the essence qi in it. Also, the crops and foods they consumed have essence qi in them. So, every living thing would have essence qi in their body.

But, today, elder Jugge Huan saw something impossible which was that he didn't even find even an ounce of essence qi inside Joey's body. So, he was very surprised.
