It had to be said that this woman was indeed extremely outstanding. Not only had her cultivation reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm, but she was also the most excellent alchemist in the entire Tortoise Academy. Moreover, her appearance could cause countless men to fall head over heels for her.

Perhaps it was because she was excessively remarkable that she had grown a very arrogant personality.

However, all the students present respected this genius a lot. After Fang Qiong’er showed up, the noisy scene immediately quieted down.

“Those who are enrolled, come here to register.”

Fang Qiong’er sat at a table and started to charge the fees of the students who were preparing to register for the alchemist exam.

When everyone was almost signed up and it was Qin Haodong’s turn, he stepped forward and said, “Senior, I would like to ask if I can apply for the Level Five Alchemist Exam directly?”

As soon as he said that, the people around him burst into laughter. In everyone’s opinion, this kid obviously came here to make trouble.

“Who is this new guy? Even if he wants to attract Senior Fang Qiong’er’s attention, he doesn’t have to use such dirty means, does he?”

“This guy really doesn’t know his place. Does he actually want to apply for the Level Five Alchemist Exam? Could it be that he doesn’t know that Senior Fang Qiong’er is the only Level Five Alchemist in the entire academy?”

“This guy is doomed. He doesn’t know Senior Fang Qiong’er’s temper. What she hates most is a person who is over-ambitious. He tried to talk big to impress others, but his trick doesn’t work…”

Sure enough, in the midst of many discussions, Fang Qionger’s proud face immediately darkened, and she said coldly, “What did you say? Do you dare to say it again?”

However, Qin Haodong said disapprovingly, “Senior sister, I just think that it’s too troublesome to take exams level by level. Can I complete all the steps at one time and apply for a Level Five Alchemist Exam directly?”

With his attainments in refining elixirs, he was absolutely much better than a Level Five Alchemist. If not restricted by his cultivation, he would apply directly for a Level Six Alchemist Exam. Now, as far as he was concerned, he was behaving modestly.

Fang Qiong’er slapped her hand on the table and shouted angrily, “Stop bragging! You wanted to apply for a Level Five Alchemist Exam as soon as you arrived at the academy. What do you think a chemist does? A game played by children?”

Qin Haodong said innocently, “But I think I’m good enough to be a Level Five Alchemist.”

“You’re blindly arrogant, biting off more than you can chew, not knowing your place…”

It was the first time Fang Qiong’er had met such a candidate, so she was incoherent with anger.

“You! Get out! This is the Alchemist Association. You are not welcome.”

Qin Haodong said reluctantly, “Senior sister, just forget about it. I can take exams level by level. Please sign me up for the Level One Alchemist Exam.”

Fang Qiong’er snorted coldly. But Qin Haodong was a student of the academy, and she couldn’t refuse his registration when he met the conditions. So she gave him a hard look and angrily wrote his name on the form.

After registration, the exam began. According to the regulations of the academy, the first part was the written test.

Fang Qiong’er asked everyone to sit down and then handed out the papers one by one. She sat in the front and looked down coldly to prevent students from cheating.

The difficulty of the Alchemist Exam was well known. In the entire academy, there were only a small number of people who were able to obtain the qualifications to become an alchemist. Even the students who specialized in Alchemist Major could not guarantee that all of them would be able to pass the exam.

Therefore, as the exam started, sighs kept coming from the room. Most people felt that the examination questions were too difficult.

Qin Haodong took a glance at the paper and smiled. These questions were just child’s play to him. He didn’t pay attention to them at all.

He picked up his pen and started writing quickly. About 20 minutes later, he handed the test paper to Fang Qiong’er.

“Senior, I’m done.”

“What? Did he finish this so soon? Did this guy hand in a blank paper?”

“It’s said that this guy doesn’t know anything about alchemy and he came here just to pick up Senior Fang Qiong’er…”

“It’s so difficult. I didn’t even finish one question, but he’s already handed in his paper. It’s obvious that he’s seeking popularity by doing this. He must have written it randomly…”

Fang Qiong’er looked more and more terrible. She glared at Qin Haodong and said, “Are you sure you finished the paper seriously?”

Qin Haodong smiled indifferently and said, “There’s nothing serious about such a simple paper. I can finish it anyway. Senior, can I answer the test for Level Two Alchemists now?”

“Stop talking big! I’m going to grade your paper now and see how many points you can get!”

The more Fang Qiong’er looked at Qin Haodong, the more she disliked him. This guy was obviously here to make trouble. Now she had to humiliate him.

“Well, thank you for your hard work, Senior!”

Fang Qiong’er alone was responsible for the whole exam. Qin Haodong did not say anything more. He returned to his seat and waited for the score.

Fang Qiong’er took his paper and began to read. The first question was to ask the student to make a prescription for patients with abdominal injuries.

This question was like a free pass for the students who had applied to be alchemists. On the entire Lingwu Continent, anyone who had any basic medical knowledge would know that this kind of illness required the Life-prolonging Elixir.

But she saw on the answer sheet that Qin Haodong had given an entirely different answer, one that had nothing to do with that elixir.

“As expected, this guy was trying to steal the spotlight. He doesn’t even know the basic medical knowledge!”

Seeing that, Fang Qiong’er was getting more and more furious, so she didn’t even bother to look at the rest of the paper. She took the red pen next to her and made a big cross on his paper, and then wrote a vigorous 0 on it.

“Well, this is your score. You can take it and leave!”

Fang Qiong’er intended to humiliate Qin Haodong, so she directly raised his paper to face the candidates below.

When they saw a big 0 was written on this paper, everyone burst into laughter.

Ma Yan shouted, “I’ve long said that the so-called Rookie of the Year is only a bit more powerful than us. He’s nothing in our Alchemist Academy!”

“This fellow is really a weirdo. I have been in the Alchemist Academy for so many years, but I have never heard of anyone get a 0 score. It is really funny…”

“If I were him, I would just drown myself in my urine. It’s really embarrassing…”

Qin Haodong’s face darkened amidst the ridicule. It didn’t matter if the woman was arrogant or not, because it had nothing to do with him. But she couldn’t just score a 0 on his test paper at her own will. She was just messing around.

He walked over to Fang Qiong’er and said, “Senior, are you aware that as an examiner of the Alchemist Association, you need to be responsible for your actions and every candidate’s score?”

Fang Qiong’er sneered and said, “I’ve been pretty responsible. You only deserve a score of 0 with a paper like that.”

Qin Haodong grabbed the paper and wrote down his address. Then he gave it back to Fang Qiong’er.

“This is my dormitory number. I’ll wait for you there. I hope you will come and apologize to me soon.”

“Apologize to you? Are you daydreaming? How can I possibly apologize to you?”

Fang Qiong’er sneered. She was the only Level Five Alchemist in the Tortoise Academy. How could she apologize to a nobody?

As far as she was concerned, his statement was simply immature and laughable to the extreme!

Qin Haodong said, “If the Alchemist Association refuses to repent, I won’t be interested in joining you anymore!”

After that, he turned around and left the examination room, leaving a dozen confused candidates behind.

Most of them were students who had been in the Tortoise Acadamy for a long time. They had never seen such a bold new student who dared to speak with Fang Qiong’er like that all these years.

Fang Qiong’er had always been proud and arrogant. She had never been treated like that before. She was about to explode with rage. She grabbed the paper left by Qin Haodong, rolled it into a ball, and threw it to the doorway.

At this moment, an old man in a robe showed up at the door. He reached out and grabbed the paper.

“Qiong’er, why are you so angry?”

The person who arrived was Fang Qiong’er’s teacher, the president of the Division of the Alchemist Association, Su Wuxian.

Fang Qiong’er said angrily, “Sir, there was an egotistical guy. I’m so furious.

“When he came to register, he asked to apply for the exam for Level Five Alchemists. But I refused and let him had the test for Level One Alchemists. However, this fellow got a score of 0 and even wanted me to apologize to him. I have never met such an arrogant fellow before.”

“Really? How bad can a student be to get a score of 0?”

Curiosity drove Su Wuxian to open the paper and read it.

Fang Qiong’er’s anger had not been fully let out, so she continued, “Look at this guy! The first question is obviously a free pass. As long as his answer was the prescription of the Life-prolonging Elixir, he will get the point. But what he did was to answer randomly, writing down a bunch of strange things…”

While speaking, she didn’t notice that Su Wuxian was becoming more and more serious. In the end, he cried out excitedly.

“Wonderful, it’s really brilliant. It’s really a good prescription. It’s just marvelous…”

Fang Qiong’er was startled and asked in surprise, “Sir, are you okay?”

Su Wuxian was so excited that his beard danced in the air. He pointed to the paper in his hand and said, “This person is absolutely impressive. His prescription is amazing.”

Fang Qiong’er was getting more and more confused. She asked, “Sir, what are you talking about?”

Su Wuxian said, “Recently, I have been working on the prescription of the Life-prolonging Elixir. For hundreds of years, we have been using it to treat internal injuries related to meridian damage, and the effect is not bad.

“But there’s one biggest flaw in this prescription, and that is it will make the patients very painful while they are taking it. The pain will not stop torturing them until they fully recover.

“I have been trying to improve this prescription to reduce their pain, but I have never succeeded. Yet this student has made it.

“His prescription will not only help to heal the patients but also help to ease their physical pain. This is indeed a priceless prescription!”

“How… how… how could this be possible?” Fang Qiong’er said, “Sir, could it be a misunderstanding? That man is just a freshman this year. How could he do what you can’t do?”

“I’ve studied this prescription for a long time, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes. But just in case, I’ll refine a real elixir by this for testing. There happens to be a patient in our Alchemist Association.”

After saying that, Su Wuxian rushed into the alchemy room next to him with the paper in his hand. He started to refine elixirs according to Qin Haodong’s prescription.

Fang Qiong’er sat back in her chair, but her look became very complicated. Could it be that she had misjudged the paper? How could she didn’t see his real talent with her ability?

This result was beyond her imagination. She had always thought that she was the best. She was supposed to be God’s favored one, and no one could be better than her.

About an hour later, the exam was over. All the candidates in the examination room handed in their papers.

At this time, Su Wuxian ran into the room from the outside excitedly with a bottle of elixirs in his hand. “Qiong’er, you unjustly blamed him. The elixirs refined by this prescription not only have no side effects but also have doubled the potency. The patient who took the elixir immediately felt better!”
