Then, Wang Mang left the cave impatiently. He wanted to sell the pills he refined to earn some immortal stones.

At the same time, he also had to go to the Pill Palace to take the examination and become a legitimate alchemist. He was hoping that his current rate of progress continued, in which case, he would be able to reach Tier 3 in a year.

Soon, he arrived at the academy’s alchemy area. He did not head to the Pill Palace immediately, but lingered around, trying to find a place to sell his Tier 1 pills to.

After searching for half a day, Wang Mang finally found a shop in a very remote corner of the alchemy area.

The shop did not look big, and there were big words written above the door:

Low-tier Medicinal Pill Trade Shop!

After walking in, Wang Mang saw a middle-aged man casually sitting on a sofa, holding a female land immortal in his arms. One hand was under her skirt, and from the wretched smile on his face, it was obvious what this man was doing.

The female land immortal’s face was flushed red and hot, and she leaned weakly into the middle-aged man’s arms as if she was drunk.

“Cough cough!”

Wang Mang coughed, and immediately attracted the attention of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged boss smiled awkwardly when he saw Wang Mang. He pulled out his hand from under the woman’s skirt, and then wiped it on his clothes.

Then, he stood up and asked Wang Mang with a smile, “Is there anything you need?”

“Boss, do you purchase Tier 1 pills here?” Wang Mang nodded slightly and asked.

The middle-aged man sized up Wang Mang in surprise and asked tentatively, “You are an alchemist?”

“I haven’t participated in the examination yet, but I’ll be doing so later,” Wang Mang said calmly and nodded.

The middle-aged man was filled with respect and admiration.

“A new alchemist! Congratulations!”

Wang Mang smiled. He then took out the seven types of pills he had refined and said, “Take a look and tell me how much these pills are worth.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up when he saw this, and he began to examine them seriously.

After some time, the middle-aged man looked at Wang Mang hesitantly and said, “Friend, let’s put it this way. I’m definitely going to sell this batch of pills outside the academy. There are two prices I can give you.”

“The normal price is 15,000 immortal stones, but if you sell all your pills here in the future, I can give you 18,000 immortal stones!”

After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Wang Mang was somewhat dissatisfied. He had spent 10,000 immortal stones on the materials, and then put in the effort to refine these pills, yet he was only being offered 18,000 immortal stones?

Thinking this, Wang Mang refused without hesitation.”

“That price won’t work! I spent half a month refining it.”

“The cost of the medicinal herbs alone is over ten thousand immortal stones! I’ll sell them for twenty thousand! If that’s acceptable, I’ll sell them to you. If not, I’ll ask around.”

With that, Wang Mang packed up his pills and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

“Friend, you paid too much for your medicinal herbs! Tell me what herbs you bought and I’ll tell you how much you should have paid.”

Wang Mang was stunned at first, and then said, “I bought herbs to refine seven types of high-grade Tier 1 pills, fifty portions of each. In total, it cost me just over ten thousand immortal stones.”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “You should have at most paid 8.000 immortal stones, and perhaps not even that.”

“How about this? I’ll give you 20,000! This is your first time in my shop. If you need medicinal herbs in the future, you can come to me to buy them.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t cheat you. After all, compared to the extra profit, I prefer to do long-term business.”

Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

“Good! The next time I come here to do business, I’ll get the medicinal herbs from you.”

“Right! How should I address you, boss?”

The middle-aged man chuckled.

“Just call me Boss Song. Here, you can count the immortal stones.”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man waved his hand and 20,000 immortal stones appeared on the counter.

Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction after a quick glance. He then took the stones and left.

Ten minutes later.

Wang Mang arrived at the Pill Palace, and noticed that there were not many people here. It seemed that people only came here to take the examination, or if they had enquiries.

After entering the Pill Palace, Wang Mang was surprised to see that there was only one elder waiting at the front desk inside the vast hall.

“Senior, we are here to take part in the Tier 1 alchemist examination.”

Two beautiful women approached the black-robed elder at the front desk with serious expressions.

Hearing this, the black-robed elder glanced at Wang Mang, and said indifferently, “What about you? Are you also participating in the examination?”

“Yes, Senior,” Wang Mang quickly replied respectfully, “I’m also here to take the Tier 1 alchemy examination.”

Despite the fact that this elder was only an Immortal King realm expert, Wang Mang called him senior because the identification tag on the elder’s collar indicated that this elder was a Tier 3 alchemist.

“Very well.”

The black-robed elder nodded indifferently as he said, “In that case, the three of you can take it as a group. Follow me!”

After saying that, the black-robed elder walked toward a passage, and the trio followed suit. Not long after, the group arrived at a spacious, enclosed stone room.

“Go and make your preparations. Prepare your own medicinal herbs and furnaces. I’ll go and invite the two other alchemists to be witnesses.”

After saying that, the black-robed elder. In a few minutes, he appeared with the other two Tier 3 alchemists, a woman, and a middle-aged man.

After entering the stone room, the two alchemists glanced at Wang Mang and the other two and nodded indifferently.

“According to the rules, each pill refining can only be attempted three times! Refine ten different Tier 1 medicinal pills!”

“You must successfully refine all ten types of pills to pass the test.”

“Alright! You can start now!”

After hearing that, Wang Mang did not hesitate to take out three portions of ingredients for each of the pill types, as did the other two women.

However, Wang Mang soon discovered the difference between him and the others, which was…

Furnace size!

Their furnaces were very small, at most the size of a pot, but his alchemy furnace was as big as a giant cauldron!

Even the three Tier 3 alchemists looked at him in surprise when his furnace was revealed.

Seeing this, Wang Mang was stunned and asked in confusion, “Seniors, what’s wrong?”

“Are you sure you want to use such a huge alchemy furnace to refine pills?”

The black-robed elder frowned. At the same time, one of the other examinees chuckled.

“Student, are you sure you’re here to refine pills?”

“Why does it feel like you’re here to cook?”

Hearing this, the Tier 3 alchemists were also amused.

Xue Lin, who was the examinee in question, said mockingly, “Are you here to be funny? Do you think you’re a high-tier alchemist?”

This incensed Wang Mang, who was originally a little embarrassed.

“How I refine pills is none of your business! Why do you care so much? The bigger, the better!”

“Idiot!” Xue Lin crossed her arms and sneered.

Wang Mang would not take this lying down.

“Since you think I can’t refine pills with this furnace, let’s make a bet!”

“Do you dare to bet 100,000 immortal stones?”
