Chapter 48: The little princess is shocked, Xiao Yan cares!
Yaoyue said unconvinced.

"So confident? Come and see!"

Liu Ling also came over and said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Ming, don't be too confident, otherwise it's easy to fall!"

Xiao Yan didn't say anything. He just stood aside calmly, seeming to be very confident.

When everyone came out, time had reached the end of the hourglass. When the last drop of golden sand fell, Chemir coughed.

Turning around, he clapped his hands, drawing the attention of everyone who was chatting with each other. Chemiel said seriously, "Since you all came out on time, I declare that we will start the final testing phase now."

As he said that, Chemiel took a few steps forward and lifted a piece of black cloth on a platform, immediately revealing a sophisticated silver-white machine that was flashing with light.

"This is the purity measuring instrument. It can accurately test the purity of the materials you have refined."

Chemiel stroked the mechanical case, pointed to a groove, and said, "Here. This is where the test materials are placed."

After that, he pointed to an electronic display screen and continued, "Here, it shows the purity. We use a 10-point scale for assessment. 10 points is the top. 1 point is the bottom. 4 points is the passing score."

"Now, you can put the ironwood spirit leaves you have refined into it. By the way, before putting them in, in order to ensure the accuracy of the results, you'd better tell us how many times you have refined it..."

"Okay, let's start now!"

After he finished speaking, several people looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, a third-grade alchemist took the lead and walked up, took out a jade bottle, put it into the groove, and said respectfully to Chemiel and others above: "Mr. Vice President, my ability is not enough, and I can only perform three refinings."

Chemir nodded slightly. Being able to effectively refine the iron wood spirit leaves three times was not bad.

Soon, after the light on the machine flashed several times, a big word "five" suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Five points. You passed the test, congratulations." Looking at the blood-red font, Chemir said calmly.

"Next…"

"Four points... pass."

A second-grade alchemist was pushed forward and quickly prepared everything. After a moment, four words flashed on the screen, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief. Then he patted his chest and stepped aside.

"Next…"

"Five points, pass."

"Next…"

"Three points, failed!"

"Two points, failure!"

"Two-five, failed!"

……

Time passed slowly. The pretty boy Liu Ling shook his golden hair and chuckled before coming to the testing machine. He then took out a jade bottle from his ring and put it into the groove. He smiled at Qie Mier and said, "My ability is limited. I can only refine it six times."

As soon as Liu Ling said this, everyone in the hall was stunned, and then there was an uproar. Not only them, but also several reviewers such as Lian Qimier looked at each other in surprise. To be able to refine six times, his strength should not be underestimated!
As expected of a disciple of Dan King Gu He, Xiao Yueer will have a hard time in this competition...

As a teacher, Qi Mier had to sigh with regret, and then he looked at the screen again. On the electronic display screen, a huge seven-character word slowly appeared...

"Seven points, you passed!"

Soon it was the little princess' turn to take the stage, Yaoyue said with a smile.

"Well, I refined it five times!" Then, the little princess took out the jade bottle and put it in the groove. The screen lit up continuously, and finally the numbers six and five appeared. Obviously, the little princess's score was 6.5 points.

It's a pity that she lost to Liu Ling, but the little princess didn't care. After all, Liu Ling was so old, and she also made a mistake. With all the reasons together, Yaoyue felt it was normal that she couldn't beat Liu Ling.

Her gaze was only directed at Xiao Ming, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled.

"Master Xiao Ming, what's the matter? Are you still planning to be the last one to appear?"

Not to mention, Xiao Ming had really planned to be like Xiao Yan in the original novel and make a grand appearance at the end to show off.

But since Yaoyue had said so much, the young man naturally would not delay on purpose. He smiled lightly and spoke calmly.

"No, I just don't want the little princess to lose so quickly!"

"Oh, really? I don't mind!"

"Then I won't be polite!" As he said that, Xiao Ming glanced at the people in front of him with indifferent eyes. After scaring them so much that they quickly stepped back, he started the test directly.

The young man came to the machine, took out the jade bottle from the ring, yawned, and then threw the jade bottle into the edge of the groove hole, looking a little casual.

Xiao Ming said calmly.

"The number of times the black iron spirit leaf is refined is ten times!"

Hearing those few casual words coming out of the young man's mouth, everyone was completely unable to be as calm as he was. The alchemists who were taking the test were dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief.

Even Master Chemir had a hint of doubt in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Ming and said.

"Are you sure? This is the initial testing site, where the sacred alchemists are tested. There is no room for falsehood!"

"I'm sure, let's test it quickly!"

Xiao Ming waved his hands, his eyes full of indifference.

Otto and Frank didn't doubt it, but there was shock on their faces.

This kid's alchemist skills have improved again. It's so easy to refine the black iron spirit leaf to such a level...

Liu Ling looked at Xiao Ming questioningly and asked the little princess for her opinion.

"Little Princess Yaoyue, what do you think? Do you think this boy can really refine it ten times?"

It's no wonder he had doubts. You know, refining it ten times is something that even Vice President Master Chemir can barely do!
There was surprise, joy, and admiration in Yaoyue's beautiful eyes, but there was no doubt. Hearing Liu Ling's words, she just said lightly.

"Brother Liu, it's better not to question others casually! Not to mention, according to my investigation, Master Xiao Ming is suspected of having a strange fire..."

"Is that so? If it's a strange fire, then maybe there is a possibility!" Liu Ling laughed awkwardly and said nothing more. It was obvious that the little princess' words made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, Xiao Yan, after hearing the conversation between the few people, couldn't help but get a little excited and spoke in high spirits.

"Brother Liu Ling, you said Xiao Ming has a strange fire. Is this true or false?"

He had not paid attention to what Xiao Ming said before, but now when he heard again that Xiao Ming was suspected of having a strange fire, he was naturally very excited.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but care, this was a strange fire! He was practicing the Burning Technique, and what he needed most was a strange fire...

Especially now, he needed the strange fire to make an emergency breakthrough, otherwise he might really be defeated by Nalan Yanran within the three-year agreement.
