Hahaha, this is too funny. Is he really the one who got two purple lines?


This is an international joke. It’s been two hours and his score remains zero. This is ridiculous.


Exactly. This is too funny. He didn’t score a single point. He sure is a pioneer of his own kind.

Inside the Realm of Alchemy, various genius alchemists chimed in their opinions. Their voices were full of mockery.
Cao Yu and the one Zhe Xian chose as his best bet, were laughing so hard that tears were gushing out of their eyes. Other than smiles, only disdain left on their faces. They all thought Ling Xian was here because of connections and he had no real abilities.
Or else how could he not have scored a single point? Plus, there was no sight of him. It must be because he realized how weak he was and decided to hide.
They weren’t the only people who thought so. Everyone watching from the external world thought the same.
Originally, after learning that Ling Xian earned two purple lines, the citizens from the City of Dan had high hopes for him. They expected him to stir up the competition like a true black horse and earn the winner crown.
Yet now, everyone was disappointed. They couldn’t believe how weak Ling Xian was to not acquire even a single point.

Aye, this is disappointing. Someone like this could get two purple lines? He must’ve bribed the examiner.


Goddamn! I bet 100,000 spiritual stones on him! I cannot believe he is such trash!


Exactly. Look around. There is no sight of him. I think he realized his incapability and was afraid that people would mock him. So he is in hiding.


Extremely laughable! He thinks just because he is in hiding, he can escape everyone’s mockery? This is too ridiculous!

Those who were watching from the outside spoke with sarcasm and ridicule.
The five Clan Leaders shook their heads in disappointment. They didn’t think Ling Xian would end up being so weak. Scoring a zero was whatever, how could he just disappear like that? What did this mean?
Obviously, under such an important circumstance, leaving the Mountain of a Thousand Medicine indicated one thing. That was; he was too ashamed to face everyone and had no courage to stand before everyone’s mocking voices.
Even though this was just a guess, it was the thought that everyone logically concluded with.
Even the omnipotent powerhouse Zhe Xian thought the same way. He shifted his gaze towards Fu Di and grinned,
Fu Di, you must be disappointed right now. It appears that I have won our bet.


You are drawing conclusion too early. The winner and loser have yet to be determined.
Fu Di said softly. Though his expression appeared calm, his eyes revealed some disappointment.

How can someone who scores a zero win the competition in the end?
Yun Jian softly chuckled. There was no mockery in his voice, he was merely describing the truth.

We shall see.
Fu Di’s expression was calm and he felt too lazy to continue this topic with Yun Jian.
Hearing this, Yun Jian shook his head softly and did not speak anymore.
Ling Xian had earned 0 point in the first test. This was an undeniable fact. Even though the score was not yet final, there really wasn’t much to see anymore. There was only an hour left to the first round. Even if he began identifying the spiritual medicines, there was no way he could make it in time.
Plus, everyone here thought he was just useless trash and didn’t think he could dare to step out to participate in the test.
Perhaps other than the examiners from the first and second test, nobody else had the confidence in Ling Xian. The sad thing was that even though they have witness Ling Xian’s unbelievable achievement, they were having doubts as well.
They guessed that perhaps the answers to the first and second test were revealed beforehand? Or else how could someone who score a zero answer so fast?
Just as everyone in the external world determined that Ling Xian was definitely a piece of a waste, the test had progressed to its climax.
Only one hour remains until the end of the first test. Therefore, everyone had to unleash everything they’ve got. They had to promise to earn glorious achievements while ensuring they pass.
Cao Yu was now giving it his all. He had awakened some sort of strange technique that made his brain even clearer than before. Then, he glanced the Mountain of a Thousand Poison before him and spoke of the spiritual medicine’s name one after one.
Within a short period of time, his score increased dramatically and his ranking rose to second. Compared to the first ranked Hong Zhuang Luo, he was only behind by 10,000.
Everyone else were also giving it their all. Especially those who have yet to accumulate 10,000 points were feeling threatened and did all they could to name the spiritual medicines.
Sadly, their fundamentals were still a bit weak compared to others and they couldn’t recognize most of these spiritual medicines. This made them extremely bitter. However, once they remembered how Ling Xian had zero points, their mood was lifted.
The one ranked second last was ecstatic and were grinning from ear to ear.
Originally, he thought he was going to place last and will be the target of everyone’s mockery and ridicule. He never expected that there would be a person with zero points!
Because of this, all the mockeries would be placed on Ling Xian. How could he not be happy?
He wasn’t the only one. Everyone who was about to fail felt extremely lucky to have Ling Xian at the bottom. This saved their faces.

What a piece of trash. I originally thought I have to act to make sure he is shamed.

Cao Yu’s face was full of disdain. Staring at the words
Ling Xian, 0″ reflected on the mirror, he snickered,
I cannot believe he is so waste that he would have zero points. On top of it, he disappeared. How laughable.


Is it funny to you?

A calm voice suddenly arose. Immediately, Ling Xian’s silhouette appeared before everyone.
First, everyone was a little startled, then, everyone began to laugh out loud.

Haha, this piece of trash still dare to show himself? Isn’t he afraid that he has no face left?


He already has no face left. Tut-tut, zero point. This number makes me think I am dreaming.


Haha, that’s right. I really admire his courage. If it were me, I’d be looking for a crack on the ground and climbing in. I’d never show my face.

Hearing all the laughter around him, Ling Xian frowned and he was somewhat angry.
The reason why he had zero point wasn’t because he had no abilities. It was because he was rushing to the Forest of a Thousand Poison and hasn’t had the time.

Fella, your courage is admirable.
Cao Yu laughed and mocked,
You dare to show yourself after earning zero points? You are an embarrassment.


So what I have zero points right now? The test hasn’t ended. The result isn’t known.
Ling Xian’s eyes turned cold. He already disliked the person before him and now he was enraged.
This rage wasn’t sole and directly towards Cao Yu, but it was towards everyone who was mocking him.

Idiot, how dare you speak like this with zero points as your score? Blah!
Cao Yu’s face remained ferocious as the mocking smile hung around his lips.
Most of the people here were like this, they were staring at Ling Xian with sarcasm.

It seems like you all think I am worthless.

Sensing everyone’s rude smiles, coldness swirled in Ling Xian’s eyes. He then made an extremely arrogant statement.

Then I will show you, who, is the real trash.

The moment he stopped speaking, he called out to his Essence of Herbalism. He vowed to use an astronomical figure to slap everyone in the face!
