Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned slightly . He wasn't sure what this genius of the Hong Clan wanted from him .
"I am Hong Zhuang Luo, it is nice to meet you . "
The beautiful lady walked up to him and said in a volume that only Ling Xian could hear . "You sure are capable . If I remember correctly, you should possess the legendary Essence of Herbalism . "
"That's right, you have guessed correctly . " Ling Xian lifted an eyebrow . He wasn't surprised at this .
Since he had chosen to act without restriction, he had predicted this result . After all, his behavior was far too heaven-defying and it didn't match his young age . It was unavoidable that others would think he had the Essence of Herbalism .
"That's what I thought . "
Hong Zhuang Luo's eyes flashed with jealousy . She played with her bangs, "So you borrowed the ability of the Essence of Herbalism . If you didn't have that, you wouldn't have gotten first place . "
"Perhaps . " Ling Xian grinned, feeling too lazy to argue with this woman .
Even if he didn't have the Essence of Herbalism and he competed with his own ability, he would've been able to identify around 300,000 spiritual medicines . The reason why he used the Essence of Herbalism was because he wanted to stun everyone and because he was running out of time .
Seeing Ling Xian's composed expression, Hong Zhuang Luo raised an eyebrow, "You sure are calm . Don't you think it's cheating?"
"Cheating?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile and asked in response, "Then dare I ask if your surname is not Hong, would you have the achievement you have today?"
"YOU!"
Hong Zhuang Luo was stunned but couldn't find any words to argue against him .
Ling Xian was completely right . If her last name wasn't Hong, no matter how naturally talented she was, she would not be able to acquire her achievement today .
"No arguments am I right?"
Ling Xian's lips curled into a victorious smile, "If you weren't born in the Hong Clan, you wouldn't have today's achievement . In other words, the reason why you accomplished what you did was mostly that you were raised by the Hong Clan . "
"How is that any different than me having the Essence of Herbalism? If you say I am cheating, then you are cheating as well . "
Ling Xian's face was full of mockery as he stared at the pretty lady with a dark expression . He continued, "You have a strong background and you were born with rich resources thrown at you . that is your fortune . I possess the Essence of Herbalism and thus I can identify spiritual medicines . This is my fortune . "
Pausing, he continued, "If you think it is unfair, then when it's your time to reincarnate, reincarnate into an average family . Talk to me again then . "
"You!"
Hong Zhuang Luo's hands formed into tight fists as her chest puffed up and down . Yet she was speechless .
Just like Ling Xian had said, everyone has their fated fortune . He had the Essence of Herbalism, that was his ability . Plus, even if he didn't possess it, he would've gotten first place . Why would they accuse him of cheating?

"Hmmph, Ling Xian, I will remember you . "
Hong Zhuang Luo glared at Ling Xian . "Winning the first round doesn't mean you are destined to win everything . I will make sure you know who's stronger during the second round . "
"Oh?"
A playful look flashed across Ling Xian's eyes . "I am looking forward to the moment you show me who's stronger . Don't blame me for not warning you though, that it may end up being me teaching you a lesson . "
"Hmmph, let us compete and see . " Hong Zhuang Luo hissed and said, "I sure want to see how capable you are during the second round . "
Then, she walked away, furious .
Seeing this, Ling Xian chuckled and immediately closed his eyes in order to replenish his drained energy .
Against the challenge set by the genius Hong Zhuang Luo, he really didn't think much of it . She was merely a lady raised richly and she didn't deserve too much of his attention .
Just like that, he calmed down and wanted to efficiently use his time on restoring his energy .
Time passed by little by little . After an hour, Cao Clan Leader's silhouette once again appeared in the Realm of Alchemy .
He flapped around his sleeve and 32 fist-sized stones appeared . They divided up and flew before the 32 people's eyes .
After the first round, most people have been eliminated . There were now only 32 people left in the running . This was why the Cao Clan Leader took out 32 stones .

Seeing the black stone before their faces, everyone was a little startled but then quickly had a realization .
Ling Xian reacted just the same . He understood what the test was about after thinking about it lightly .
The stone before them was named the Fire Testing Stone . It was a strange and rare ore from the cultivation community . It had no other property other than being able to endure flames .
It could endure extreme flames .
Legend had it that the highest quality Fire Testing Stone cannot be melted by the Godly Fire .
Therefore, cultivators like to use it to test out flame's temperature . This was the origin behind its name .
"I bet everyone is familiar with the Fire Testing Stone . I will not waste your time and I will get right into it . "
Cao Clan Leader spoke softly and glanced all around, "The second test is about spiritual energy and manipulation of fire . Therefore, I need you to burn this Fire Testing Stone into the shape of a sword . whoever takes the shortest amount of time to achieve the most perfect sword will win this round . "
"Remember, this sword cannot be longer than three inches and cannot be wider than one inch . If you cannot complete it within an hour, you will be automatically eliminated . If you can complete it within an hour, you will be promoted to the third round and participate in the last round . "
Cao Clan Leader's expression was serious as he glanced around every single one of them . "Do you now understand?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded .
"Very good, then I now announce, the second test officially begins . " Cao Clan Leader smiled in satisfaction and commented amusingly, "You guys better hurry up . The Fire Test Stone is resistant to flames and if you don't hurry, you may not complete it in time . "
Hearing this, everyone nodded .
"Very good, then I now announce, the second test officially begins . " Cao Clan Leader smiled in satisfaction and commented amusingly, "You guys better hurry up . The Fire Test Stone is resistant to flames and if you don't hurry, you may not complete it in time . "
Hearing this, everyone's heart turned cold . They quickly sat in a lotus position and attempted to melt and mold the Fire Testing Stone .
Just like the Cao Clan Leader stated, this stone endures flames well and was highly resistant to flames . Even though the stone before them was not of the highest quality, it was not something normal flames could handle . It will be difficult to shape it into a small sword within an hour .
The difficulty of this test was not hard to imagine! It was extremely difficult!
Therefore, everyone had to use every single second and nobody dared to be reckless .
All of them began to summon the flames from within and used it to engulf the black stone in an attempt to melt it .
Just as everyone concentrated fully, a statement made with an embarrassing tone suddenly rung, which once again dragged everyone into a state of awe .
Even the important figure Cao Clan Leader didn't know how to react to this .
"Uhm, Cao Clan Leader, can you give me another Fire Testing Stone? I accidentally melted this one . "
Ling Xian awkwardly smiled . In the center of his right palm, a silver flame was boiling . Within the flame, however, there was no stone, there was merely a puddle of black water .
This means he somehow melted the extremely durable Fire Testing Stone in a short second .
He truly and utterly melted it . It was now water .
Hong Zhuang Luo was beautiful, delicate, and slim . She wore a long black dress that accented her allure and her sexiness . Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned slightly . He wasnt sure what this genius of the Hong Clan wanted from him . I am Hong Zhuang Luo, it is nice to meet you . The beautiful lady walked up to him and said in a volume that only Ling Xian could hear . You sure are capable . If I remember correctly, you should possess the legendary Essence of Herbalism .
