Chapter 1001
Chapter 1001 Traps Are Everywhere
After a night of silence, Chen An took a brief shower and left the courtyard with Zi Jiao in the early morning of the next day, and went to Wuji Island, which was the place for the selection.
And when Chen An and the two came to the selection venue, there were already a lot of people gathered here.
It turns out that Wuji Island has recruited a lot of newcomers from all over Shangjiuxiao this time, and as long as these newcomers pass the selection, they can be honest and upright people from Chen Wei’s Wuji Island.
Of course, after becoming a member of Wuji Island, there will be abundant resources to use, which is why so many people flock to it.
“Chen An! Come on! These people don’t look as good as you!”
Just when Chen An and Zi Jiao came to the crowd, Zi Jiao couldn’t help but speak.
But when Chen An heard what Zi Jiao said, she gave her a blank look and didn’t care.
“Brother Chen An, you’re here! We’re afraid you’re running out of time!”
“The selection is about to start, but you must seize the opportunity!”
Liao Hua had also come to Chen An at this time, and told Chen An to come, and after Liao Hua’s instructions, finally several old men walked slowly from not far away.
As soon as these old men appeared, I saw the people from Wuji Island bowed down and saluted. Seeing this, Chen An and his party had no choice but to bend down.
“Ahem! Our old fellows are the alchemists of Wuji Island! This time I’m in charge of your selection!”
“Come with me now!”
One of the old men opened his mouth, and after hearing his words, everyone, including Chen An, walked towards a great hall.
As for Zi Jiao and Liao Hua, because they didn’t have to participate in the selection, they waited outside.
The main hall on Wuji Island was originally used by alchemists, so when Chen An and others entered this hall, they also saw countless small tables.
At this time, the table was filled with various medicinal materials, and a strange fragrance filled the air.
“Okay! Choose your positions in order!”
“Next, we will take turns to cover up a process of refining medicinal pills for you to see. You just need to follow the process we practiced!”
“In the end, whoever can refine the medicine pill will be able to successfully pass the selection!”
After the old man finished speaking, an old man began to walk in front of the crowd, and then began to practice.
And for this kind of operation, the people present were somewhat disapproving.
After all, the alchemy technique that almost everyone here knows, in their opinion, this is simply unnecessary.
“Well, let’s draw a scoop like a gourd? What’s the point of this?”
“Yeah! It’s better to give us the prescription directly, if we can’t make it, it’s fine!”
Some people started to talk, but the old men didn’t speak to their voices, they just watched one of the old men rehearse quietly.
And after the first old man finished his practice, the second old man finally stood up. The alchemy technique he practiced was very different from before, which also made everyone frown.
Chen An, who was not far away, also discovered the tricks when he saw the second old man’s drill.
“Tsk tsk! This alchemy technique actually hides a lot of loopholes!”
“It seems that this selection is still interesting!”
As Chen An said, the solutions to those loopholes had already appeared in his mind.
In this way, until the end of the old man’s practice, Chen An has also improved the entire set of alchemy techniques.
“Okay! Now please follow our demonstration and start refining medicine pills!”
“Remember, you can only pass the test if you actually refine the medicinal pills!”
The leading old man spoke again, and after hearing his words, everyone raised their hands. However, when everyone started refining the medicinal pills, someone finally noticed something was wrong.
Some people even made bursts of explosions before they even started on the stage. Seeing this scene, many people were dumbfounded.
On the other hand, Chen An was still very calm. Chen An knew very well that these old men deliberately did something in the demonstration, and those who had the accident obviously didn’t notice it.
At this time, seeing that many people failed, several old men shook their heads involuntarily.
“Take the losers out!”
With the old man’s order, almost half of the people were taken out of the hall.
Outside the hall, when Zi Jiao and Liao Hua saw that half of the people were brought out, they couldn’t help but get nervous.
Fortunately, they did not see Chen An among those who were eliminated, which made them feel relieved.
“Huh! Chen An must pass!”
As Zi Jiao spoke, he prayed in his heart, and at this moment, various situations began to occur in the hall.
This time, it was still because some people did not find the connection between the demonstrations of several old people.
As for Chen An, there has been no accident until now, which also made several old people look at him with admiration.
“Tsk tsk, that kid’s alchemy skills are quite consummate!”
“He also solved the trap we set perfectly! It seems to be a good hand!”
“And the one on the other side, it doesn’t seem to be a problem!”
Several old men looked at the few people in the hall at this time and said.
Obviously they have achieved their goal. As for how many people can stay in the end, it depends on how Chen An and the rest of the artificiality are.
Time passed, and soon there was another accident in the hall. Either the medicinal materials were exhausted, or the refining failed, which also led to fewer and fewer people.
Until the last moment, only seven remained.
Among these seven, Chen An is naturally there.
In fact, for Chen An, things like alchemy are already familiar, so there will be no surprises at all.
However, just when Chen An thought he could pass the selection smoothly, when he finally put the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace, a fire started in the pill furnace.
Seeing that the fire didn’t seem to be going out, Chen An couldn’t help frowning.
“Not good! I’m careless! There is something wrong with this Chinese herbal medicine!”
“It seems that in addition to the traps in the demonstration, the medicinal materials prepared are also passive!”
Chen An had already started to think of a way not to save him, and at this moment, finally, on a stage not far from Chen An, a young man slowly raised his hand.
“I’m finished refining! The medicine pill is here!”
The young man spoke proudly at several old men, and after hearing the man’s words, several old men immediately surrounded him.
When they finished checking the young man’s medicine pill, they couldn’t help but nodded.
“Well, it’s not bad! It’s just a little flawed!”
“Alas, it seems that only this one has successfully passed!”
Just when they checked the man’s medicine pill, only Chen An and the young man were left in the hall.
Obviously, in the eyes of those old men, Chen An will probably fail, after all, the flame in the pill furnace has already explained everything.
But just as they were about to announce the end of the selection, an accident happened.
