C407 Start of Examination
Soon, the day of the exam arrived.
In the morning, the martial arts exam would be held, and in the afternoon, it would be time for the refining process.
When the time was up, Lin Long and Mo Tian arrived at the outside of the inner courtyard.
As Mo Hua Rong was a parent, he didn't manage to enter the inner courtyard.
At this time, all of the young people taking the alchemy exam were gathered here. There was a total of two hundred people.
There was still about the time needed to make a cup of tea before the exam. Lin Long and Mo Tian sat on a bench inside, bored out of their minds.
The topic of discussion was all about what exam questions were going to be.
At this moment, a hubbub suddenly sounded out from the crowd and everyone immediately turned to look behind them.
Lin Long followed their gazes and saw a young lady wearing a light red dress, with an exquisite face and elegant temperament. She had a beautiful figure, walking towards them.
"Who is this person? Is he so beautiful?"
"You don't know, this is Lianchuan City's Murong Family's young miss, Murong Xue."
"Murong Xue? With her talent, all the great academies in the Southern region are fighting for her. If she were to join the Sky Spill Academy, even if the Sky Spill Academy does not bring her eight palanquins, she would still be able to enter the academy without a test. "
"Who knows? Perhaps the proud daughter of heaven also wants to experience the life of us mortals."
With Lin Long's strength, he was naturally able to understand what they were saying. He could not help but take a few more glances at Murong Xue.
It was truly a heavenly beauty, even compared to beauties like Situ Feng and Lin Shiyin.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Murong Xue also smiled at everyone.
There were a lot of people who wanted to go up and greet Murong Xue, but they gave up in the end because the difference between them and was too great, even Yang Zhe who had his eyes on the top of his head could only silently gulp down a few mouthfuls of saliva.
It was also at this time that a somewhat obese middle-aged man hurriedly brought a few disciples of the Sky Spill Academy out to welcome them.
This middle-aged man wore the uniform of a teacher with the characteristics of a Sky Spill Academy, so with a glance, everyone was able to tell that he was a teacher of a Sky Spill Academy. Other than him, no one else seemed to be wearing these clothes, thus he seemed to be the main examiner for this exam.
"Aiya, Miss Mu Rong. Why did you come as well? If I knew you were coming, I would have prepared in advance." The middle aged man's face was filled with a flattering smile as he spoke to Murong Xue. His flattering expression almost made him kneel down and wipe Murong Xue's shoes.
Although the people beside her did not receive such treatment, no one envied Murong Xue, because her status and strength were all over the place.
"Although Murong Xue is from the Murong Family, she is just an ordinary person. She should be the same as everyone else. This is what my father often warned me about, and Murong Xue has always kept it in mind. " Murong Xue smiled slightly.
"Miss Mu Rong is too humble. Alright, the exam is about to begin. Miss Mu Rong, please rest up first." The middle-aged man moved to the side and made a gesture of 'please'.
The people behind him also quickly moved to the side.
"Teacher, there's no need to be polite, Murong Xue will be watching from the outside, and can only enter after the exam begins." Murong Xue shook her head.
"Miss Mu Rong, there is tea in here. Your carriage is tired, so you should take a break." The middle-aged man was still persistent.
"There's really no need. Please go in and prepare." Murong Xue shook her head still however.
"Miss Mu Rong, please stay here for a little longer. I'll call for you once the exam starts. If you have any disagreements, you can explain them to these disciples at any time." Seeing that Murong Xue really did not have any plans to go in, the middle-aged man could only give up on this idea.
"Right." Murong Xue nodded lightly.
Following which, the middle-aged man walked back in.
As for Murong Xue, she casually found a relatively empty place to sit.2
So it turns out that the fairy was very easy-going, and wasn't that different from an ordinary person? Looking at Murong Xue, some people couldn't help but have this thought.
They were too far away from Murong Xue, and had basically never seen him before, so they subconsciously treated him, who had an extremely outstanding appearance, as a fairy in their hearts.
"Brother Lin, how about we go over there and strike up a conversation? I think you're a good match for this Miss Murong." At this time, Mo Tian whispered to Lin Long.
From his point of view, Lin Long had an outstanding temperament and suave demeanor, he was the only one out of many that was worthy of Murong Xue.
Furthermore, he had an indescribable thought that if Lin Long were to make a move, he would definitely be able to escape his opponent's embrace.
Lin Long shook his head, "Mo Tian, the exam is about to begin, focus on the exam, don't think too much."
What nonsense are you thinking? That's for my big brother's own good. Mo Tian couldn't help but silently curse in his heart.
However, he did not dare to say a single word.
Although Murong Xue's appearance had caught Lin Long's attention, Lin Long did not have any intentions of getting her. Other than focusing on the Sky Spill Academy, and because he already had many female friends, under such circumstances, if there was no need, she would naturally not interact with her.
Not long after, a disciple of the Sky Spill Academy walked out and spoke loudly to the crowd, "The examination officially begins, and there are a total of three groups. One group will go to the next group after the examination is over, and now the first group will begin, those who have read the names will immediately enter the Inner Academy to take the examination, Murong Xue, Guo Lu, Hao Tian, Luo Datong."
Murong Xue was the first one to enter the Inner Palace, so the others who heard her name also quickly followed. Lin Long and Mo Tian were unexpectedly in the first batch as well, so they also followed him in.
After entering, they found that there were three rows of small tables inside. On each table, there was a small cauldron. There were roughly sixty or seventy people, which was just enough for them to enter.
Lin Long's name was last, so he was the last one to enter. After entering, he was a little surprised, because the only empty table was actually at Murong Xue's right hand side.
Could it be that these people were all afraid that Murong Xue's beauty would distract them during the exam? Thinking this way, Lin Long shook his head slightly and walked to the back of the table.
"Alright, the distribution of the materials will begin now." A Sky Spill Academy disciple said.
With that said, the two disciples of Sky Spill Academy took out bamboo baskets and started to distribute the ingredients.
After the distribution was done, the young people at the scene were all stunned because they discovered that there was only one piece of material on everyone's table.
This meant that they could only have one chance, if they made a mistake, they would not have the chance to enter the Sky Spill Academy.
That would be a little difficult.
For a moment, most of the people present started to feel anxious. Even though some of them were very familiar with the pills they were about to refine, this was after all, an examination. They did not dare to make any mistakes.
