Chapter 396: Final Selection
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Don’t use people who are full of tricks!
Don’t use people who are full of schemes!
Don’t use people who seem to be compliant on the surface but are secretly disagreeable to how things are done!
...
Feng Lin was extremely strict. He didn’t care about these medicinal refinement masters’ identities. If they didn’t meet his requirements, they were not going to be used.
Feng Lin continued to eliminate them one after another, not caring if he would end up with less than 20 people in the end.
If he didn’t like them, he would send them away immediately.
As one of the top ten universities, the Great Wall University had no lack of talent.
What Feng Lin wanted was obedience, and not people who were conceited and presumptuous.
He mustn’t allow a single person’s mistakes or faults to ruin and implicate the entire group.
People who only knew trickeries weren’t just useless but would bring trouble.
Feng Lin wanted to hit the target of producing 1,000 kilograms within a month and get a military promotion.
The Great Wall Guards Army was the most elite troop amongst the interstellar humans. If he could rise to a high enough rank in the future, he would be able to have his own troops. It would then bring nothing but benefits to him.
When that time came, not only would he be able to grasp his own destiny, but he might also become one of the dominators over the interstellar humans’ destiny.
The future was worth the anticipation, but he would still need to start bit by bit with what he had before him.
As people who didn’t have a calm mind were eliminated, the remaining people became a lot more honest. They went through the medicine refining steps carefully without skipping anything, not daring to show any carelessness or deploy useless tricks.
They all knew that Feng Lin wouldn’t go easy on them at all.
As expected of medicinal refinement masters!
Even though they had only seen the process once, they had memorized most of the refining steps. Very soon, many bottles of liquid crimson refinement gunpowder were completed.
Although the medicinal effects were greatly discounted and the end product’s quality wasn’t high due to their lack of experience, as long as they could succeed this time around, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to refine it again in the future.
Right now, Feng Lin’s gaze turned increasingly serious. The next and final step was also the most crucial—Crystallized Medicine Creation.
The refining steps before this didn’t require much technique. This was the only step that could bring a qualitative change to the crimson refinement gunpowder.
Otherwise, this would at most be a liquid potion that had high radiation and high energy.
Everyone started the refining process, showing a great resemblance to what Feng Lin had done. They used the flames to evaporate the liquid, sending out their mental energy to sense the flames’ temperature. The liquid slowly vaporized.
Boom!
An explosion rang out.
Someone’s potion released a high-speed reaction as it had been subject to a strong roast from the flames and suddenly exploded.
Feng Lin shook his head. This guy only knew of the form and didn’t understand the principle behind the steps, thus had blindly imitated it. Eliminate!
Boom boom boom!
This person’s explosion seemed to have kickstarted things, and a series of explosions rang out in succession.
Many bottles of liquid suddenly exploded.
Eliminate!
Eliminate!
Eliminate!
...
Toward these people who only knew to imitate and didn’t really understand medicine refinement itself, Feng Lin showed them no mercy and eliminated all of them.
At last, the remaining people showed more resemblance in their refining process.
They analyzed the crimson refinement gunpowder’s crystallization structure. Under the microscopic sight, they saw that the sand-like matter presented many rhombus-shaped crystals that were connected together. It was as if they were one entity, and the medicinal prowess was firmly locked in.
The clearer they could see this, the more they were in admiration of how amazing the Crystallised Medicine Creation Technique was. To be thinking of things that predecessors didn’t dare to think of, and to do things that predecessors didn’t dare to attempt, it was priceless!
(Was this mysterious and profound technique really something that this Feng Lin has thought up of by himself?)
They found this to be unbelievable.
The Crystallization Medicine Refining Technique had brought up the gene potion manufacturing art to a new level, locking the violent medicinal prowess into many tiny crystals.
Only by doing this could it ensure that the crimson refinement gunpowder’s violent medicinal prowess would sustain in an amazingly balanced state where it wouldn’t explode but could at any moment.
They were instantly struck by a great feeling of comprehension.
However, even though they could understand this, the structure within the crystals was too mysterious. It was simply a work of art!
It was too difficult to be able to achieve it!
It was no wonder that Feng Lin had requested the awakening of mental genes as a requirement when he was recruiting.
Only immaterial mental energy would be able to undergo detailed sensing and control the medicinal reactions on the microscopic level.
In fact, given how big the universe was, there were many capable talents, and many famous medicine refining styles were already attempting to use mental energy to support the medicine refining process.
However, crystallizing potions in order to lock in their medicinal prowess was unheard of.
They wore admiring expressions as if a door to a brand new world had been opened for them.
They had a vague feeling that if they could really study the secrets behind this crimson refinement gunpowder, even if they were eliminated, they would go through a tremendous leap in their level.
The remaining refinement masters were fully focused and started getting into action.
They carefully placed the crimson refinement gunpowder’s liquid and roasted them on the flames, controlling the fire carefully. They then let their mental energy seeped into the medicine, experiencing the slightest changes and then slowly crystallizing the liquid.
When Feng Lin saw this scene, he secretly nodded.
It seemed that the remaining 50 or more people had understood the basic principles behind the Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique. However, this wasn’t over yet.
There was still one crucial step in the actual operation.
If they couldn’t do it, he wouldn’t want them either!
That was to split up the potion into sections and treat them individually. This required powerful mental energy to dissolve the potion, split them up, and then vaporize them!
Otherwise, the crimson refinement gunpowder’s medicinal prowess would be too powerful. If they were all gathered onto one spot, it would be very difficult to turn them into sand-like crystals.
This clearly had a high requirement for one’s mental energy.
If they couldn’t do this and their mental energy wasn’t up to standard, they clearly wouldn’t be able to learn this either.
Boom boom boom!
Things went on as he expected.
Many people could only sense with their mental energy but didn’t have enough to perform psyforce. Therefore, it was hard for them to split up the potion.
The intense fire prowess instantly caused the crystal that had just taken form to explode completely.
Feng Lin shook his head. Those people understood that they had been eliminated and lowered their heads, leaving dejectedly.
When they passed by Feng Lin, they looked at each other and then bowed toward him, convinced by his capabilities.
Although Feng Lin was young, they were now very clear that his refinement technique was definitely far above theirs. If this technique could be developed thoroughly, Feng Lin would be able to become a grandmaster amongst medicine refinement masters.
Although they were eliminated, they had benefited a lot just from witnessing and having personally studied the crimson refinement gunpowder. It naturally had a tremendous benefit to them.
Feng Lin didn’t reject their kind intentions. This was something that he deserved.
After the many eliminations, there were only 18 people left. They started the refining process, splitting up the crimson refinement gunpowder and showing signs of being able to complete the crystallization process.
Although some of them hadn’t fully suppressed the violent energy and it seemed that their work was going to explode at any moment, they were on the right path.
If Feng Lin carefully guided them on this, they wouldn’t be far from success.
Seeing this, Feng Lin nodded. These should be the final people selected. His own team had been formed.
