Elder Wade started checking the answers written by Davis one by one before his facial expression gradually settled down into a calm facade but inwardly, he was totally shaken since he found almost all the answers right.
He was also a Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemist, but there were even some answers he couldn’t fill up since this was the toughest question scroll.
Even those answers which he couldn’t fill up were answered by Davis. Gradually, his mind abandoned the thought of making things difficult for Davis.
With this theoretical test, he could clearly see the difference between them in terms of knowledge.
He had already lived for more than a thousand years, he was no fool and knew when to back down.
Otherwise, if he kept making things difficult for everyone, would he be even able to live up to this age?
What about his junior sister then? Since he didn’t obtain her and couldn’t afford to offend him, he clearly knew which action to take.
Immediately, he smiled amicably and congratulated Davis, "Mister Scythe, you have passed the test, possibly even managing to score full marks."
"I’ll lead you to the next test where there will be another supervisor, please follow me." Elder Wade’s tone became servile a few notches as he smiled.
Davis was taken aback by the instant change in his attitude. The other party had told him that he would be the one to supervise two tests but now it looked like the he wasn’t willing to offend him anymore.
People can change this fast? Although he heard of it many times, it was the first time he witnessed a case like this.
Offending a person for no reason, then instantly befriending or acting servile once that person exhibits their ability.
Still, Davis didn’t care about his change, because he knew that he would pass the exam even if Elder Wade continued to make things difficult for him, and even if he did, he would have no choice but to kill Elder Wade once his patience was exhausted.
After both of them arrived at a wide hall, and Davis recognized this place because he came here last time to complete the exam for Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemy.
Once he arrived, he spotted a figure’s back which he was quite familiar with, after all, he had stared at it intensely once, while fantasizing about Evelynn.
Tina Roxley stood in front of a cauldron, her black eyelashes trembled from perspiration. Her fingers moved making all sorts of hand signs that helped her control her soul force light up the soul flames.
Davis could see that she was giving it her all to make a Low-Level Earth Grade Pill. He recognized the technique that she was using but he wasn’t proficient with it.
Beside him, Elder Wade opened his mouth, "I apologize Mister Scythe, we allowed her to take the exam since we thought it might take 3 hours for you to complete the theoretical test."
Davis waved his hand, indicating that he wasn’t bothered.
Elder Wade nodded and left him to stand in a corner while he moved to the place where the judges were present and whispered something into their ears.
The judges were all astounded and asked something to which Elder Wade nodded his head. Their gazes then shifted to Davis as they viewed him with a glint in their eyes.
Seeing them gazing at him like prey, Davis felt chills crawling up his spine.
He wondered what kind of bullshit this Elder Wade dropped in their ears to make them view him like he was some kind of delicacy.
After that, the judges gradually turned their sights to Tina Roxley and looked at her concoct the pill in admiration.
These judges were all old fogeys, living for more than 1500 years. They were gladdened to see the young generation geniuses catch up to them in both cultivation and alchemy.
Tina Roxley was only 46 years old yet she could already make Low-Level Earth Grade Pills. They were all incredibly gladdened because of her talent, and it was also because she was the youngest disciple of the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Association, Brandis Mercer.
Compared to her, Elder Wade Renfield was more than 1,000 years old but he could only concoct up to Mid-Level Sky Grade Pills but was only able to concoct Low-Level Earth Grade Pills when he was around 200 years old.
This discrepancy ultimately showed the difference between a genius and a commoner; between Tina Roxley and Elder Wade.
Although, this would still not be the case in the future if Tina Roxley chose to remain here instead of going out of the territory to broaden her horizons. If she did that then it will cause her skill to stagnate, like most.
She would ultimately end up like Elder Wade, not being able to make any progress after a certain period of time.
After half an hour, Tina Roxley successfully managed to concoct a Low-Level Earth Grade Pill.
She happily looked at the batch of pills she managed to concoct. Her facial expression stunned even the old fogeys who were acting as judges. They all shook their heads thinking that she was too beautiful and dazzling to remain here in this place.
They all thought that she should head to the territory of the Thousand Pill Palace to increase her boundaries in both cultivation and alchemy.
"Grand Elder Brandis has truly managed to stumble upon a gem..." An elder in white alchemist robes, spoke as he rubbed his long white beard.
"True, especially now that Grand Elder is in his old days I think he couldn’t be anymore happier..." Another elder who looked bald but had a thick mustache slowly shook his head with a smile on his face. He wore a white alchemist robe as well.
These two elders were called Elder Theren and Elder Gantar respectively.
"Indeed, the younger generation geniuses tend to leave us with our jaws opening wide in shock." Another elder laughed.

He looked old with long white hair and wore a black alchemist robe with six stars etched upon it, leaving only the last star a little dull.
This indicated that he was a High-Level Sky Grade Alchemist.
The other two only had five stars etched on their robes, indicating that they were Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemists.
"You’re absolutely right, Elder Seylas. It’s my junior sister and my master’s youngest disciple after all." Elder Wade grinned from ear to ear, his expression quite proud.
