Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 67 Comprehensive Talent

"Why is this young man still here?" The old man saw Qiu Ci standing in the middle with a bewildered look on his face, so he stopped walking and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"Uh, that..." How should I put it? I've learned too many different subjects and don't know which major to choose. "What if I practice more than one subject?"

"Oh!" The old man's eyes lit up and he glanced at her in surprise, "Could it be that young friend is a dual practitioner?" He was a little shocked. Human energy is limited, as is spiritual power, so people in the world have always specialized in only one path. It's not that no one has thought about dual practice, but usually neither path is very outstanding, which is a waste of energy.

Only those monstrous geniuses could achieve both. The woman before him, though young, had reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, indicating considerable strength. Could it be that she had truly mastered the dual cultivation paths? The old man instantly became interested. "Which two paths do you cultivate?"

"No... not two." Qiu Ci shook his head.

"Ah?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and became even more confused. "If it's not two practitioners at the same time, could it be three?"

"Not at all."

"How's that?"

"Uh, seven!" Qiu Ci weakly made a number seven gesture, "Alchemy, talismans, formations, weapons, magic, swords, and beasts, I just happen to... understand a little bit of them." The kind of thing that you only know at the elementary school level.

Old man: "..."

Half a while.

"Nonsense!" The old man's face changed, and he looked humiliated. "Are you here to make fun of me?" He originally thought that she was a good talent with good talent, but he didn't expect her to be so arrogant and dare to say that she was a full cultivator.

"No." Why did he suddenly get angry? "I'm telling the truth."

"You're simply stubborn." The old man grew even angrier, his beard puffing up. "In that case, I will personally take charge of your assessment. I want to see what a versatile person you are, humph!"

After saying that, he glared at her, turned around and walked towards the room on the left.

Qiu Ci rubbed her nose, feeling a bit aggrieved. If she had known she wouldn't be allowed to choose multiple majors, she would have just said she only knew one. But since things had come to this, she had no choice but to follow the other party in. After all, they had said they would personally assess her.

They entered the room for the assessment of alchemy and talismans. It turned out to be an alchemy room. There were seven or eight alchemy furnaces placed there early on, and some of them had people refining the alchemy. They were the ones who were good at alchemy among the group of people just now.

There was an invigilator patrolling back and forth between the rooms up ahead. He was startled when he saw the two of them come in. "Master Quan, what are you doing?"

"You don't need to worry about me, just focus on your own things." The old man nodded and took Qiu Ci directly to an empty alchemy furnace. Pointing at the spiritual plants on the shelf next to it, he said, "Start with the alchemy first. You can use any of the spiritual plants here. Refine an elixir of the highest grade you can. If you can reach the fourth grade, you will pass." After that, he stood directly next to the alchemy furnace.

"Oh." Qiu Ci nodded and stepped forward. He used a fire spell to light the alchemy furnace, then transmitted a message in his mind, "System, scan and calculate."

[Alright, Master!] The system's small light ball flew around the pile of herbs. [Master, after my calculations, the best elixir for you to refine is the Tribulation Breaking Pill. Do you need to enable alchemy data monitoring?]

"Start!" The ingredient data and N refining methods of the Tribulation-Breaking Pill automatically emerged in Qiu Ci's mind. Then he walked straight towards the pile of spiritual plants and began to pick up the raw materials.

The old man had been watching from the side, but when he found that the other party directly picked up a sixth-grade spiritual plant, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Sixth-grade spiritual plants are not easy to come by and have always been used to refine sixth-grade pills. This is the most precious thing in the entire alchemy room.

Although he didn't understand where this little girl got her confidence from, she chose a sixth-grade spiritual plant when refining a fourth-grade pill. Could it be that she wanted to use high-grade spiritual plants to increase the success rate of the pill? But when he remembered that he had just said that she could choose any spiritual plant, he had to shut up.

But the old man became increasingly alarmed by the other party's subsequent actions. Not only had she chosen a sixth-grade spiritual plant, she had also selected a bunch of lower-grade spiritual plants, and even picked out a common herb that had been mixed in. Although he wasn't a major alchemist, he could tell that several of the plants had conflicting medicinal properties. What was this girl trying to do? Could it be that she knew she'd just boasted and was doing it on purpose?

The old man suddenly became even angrier, but he managed to hold it back. The next moment, he saw the other party not even looking at him, but directly threw all the spiritual plants in his hand into the alchemy furnace in anger without even pausing.

"Wait, don't you want to distinguish the properties of the spiritual plants first?" Before the old man could speak, the elder of the Alchemy Dao who was assessing others on the other side couldn't help but said with a look of regret, "This will ruin their medicinal properties."

"It's okay!" Qiu Ci dusted off his hands and said, "We'll get the same deal when we get in."

"what?"

Qiu Ci had already started to make hand gestures, and in an instant his hands flew, and more than a dozen hand gestures were thrown towards the alchemy furnace. The flames on the alchemy furnace suddenly ignited and instantly enveloped the entire furnace.

"You are simply..." The Dan Dao elder was about to scold, but suddenly stopped the next moment.

The old man beside him thought he was worried about the spiritual plants, so he quickly comforted him, "Forget it, let her refine it. I'll compensate you with some spiritual materials later. I want to see what kind of elixir she can refine."

The elder did not respond, but stared at the furnace. Others could not see it, but he, who specialized in alchemy, could easily sense it. The spell that had just been injected into the furnace was not a simple spell for controlling fire and quenching, but was divided into more than a dozen spells, which fell on different positions of the furnace. Although the fire looked fierce from the outside, the inside was actually unexpectedly divided into more than a dozen areas, and the spiritual plants inside were being tempered separately.

Just like what she just said, the points will be the same when you go in.

It was just a casual remark, but he knew how difficult it was to do it. There were more than a dozen kinds of spiritual plants, and their firepower, spiritual energy, and tempering methods were all different. It was difficult for ordinary people to control one without any problems, let alone more than a dozen kinds at the same time. The slightest mistake could cause the furnace to explode on the spot.

For a moment, the elder of the alchemy sect looked at Qiu Ci differently, as if he was looking at a monster. How on earth did she manage to perform such a difficult level of refining technique?

It was difficult for the elders, but for Qiu Ci, who was good at cheating, such mastery was easy, because in her eyes, every area in the furnace had already been marked with the quenching progress by the system, and all she could see were clearly visible progress numbers.

50%...55%...67%...81%...

Lines of numbers danced on the alchemy furnace. She only had to control the magic to increase or decrease the amount of flame and spiritual energy in that area. In this case, she would fail only if she was really blind.
