Ace Of Terrans

Yang Bingshan was watching Shi Lang solving the questions quickly and could not stop himself from smiling widely. If someone was to ask him, how happy was he, then he might not have been able to explain it with his words.

This wall was the thorn in the hearts of many capable alchemists, however, they had been unable to solve the problems. Shi Lang was doing it, and he could not understand how. However, when he read the answers he nodded because they were correct.

A few minutes later, four old people arrived in the hall. They were the five advanced alchemists of the Martial Spirit Hall. They saw Shi Lang and they froze. Yang Bingshan said, "Now do you understand what I was talking about? Look at him."

The four people were a group of two old men and two middle aged women. They were flabbergasted, when suddenly, Xiao Yue, Yang Bingshan's disciple came over and said, "Master, you need to see this."

Yang Bingshan furrowed his brows and asked, "Xiao Yue, what is it?"

The lady gulped and said, "He sorted the archives. They are now kept in perfect arrangement, all the knowledge has been classified and they are no longer scattered all over the place."

Yang Bingshan and the rest of the people were surprised, and one of the lady said, "We can check that later, I want to see his answers. The lower level questions does not test his logic and reasoning much."

The others nodded, Yang Bingshan also agreed, and said, "You guys call your disciples and have them inspect the archives."

The old people frowned, one of them said, "They are in seclusion."

Yang Bingshan looked at the man, and said, "Old Tang, they are memorizing the scrolls from the archive, if they can learn from an organized scrolls, it would cut out a lot of time. Think about it. This kid spent twenty days inside, and now that he has come out, he is solving the Thousand Year Question Wall."

The old people thought about it and then they took out talismans and summoned their disciples. The man called, Old Tang asked, "Are you thinking about taking him as your disciple?"

Yang Bingshan shook his head and replied, "He had already taken someone even powerful as his master."

The four people looked at him and Yang Bingshan answered them with spiritual communication. The people took a deep breath and then after a few minutes they said, "No wonder he is strong."

...

Cao Ming was leaning on a rocking chair and a small bird was pecking grains on the ground next to him. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the alchemy hall and said, "Hmmm, Xiao Lang is causing waves again."

The bird raised it's head and remarked, "Hmmm, this boy is very good. Now I can fly over to rest on that wall."

Cao Ming smiled at the bird and said, "Luan, you wish to cause chaos again?"

The bird shook its head like a human and replied, "This boy has the aura of a phoenix on him."

Cao Ming nodded and replied, "He knows your queen. Be good to him, you might climb the ranks."

Luan fluttered his wings and replied, "What do you think of me? Am I someone who needs to climb up the ladder?"

Cao Ming smiled but did not say anything and closed his eyes to meditate again.

...

The disciples were gathering over at the alchemy hall and they were all talking to each other in hushed voices, "Caleb, why are you fucking dragging me over to the alchemy hall? That warring disciple is about to come out and I need to practice so that I can see him in action myself."

Caleb rolled his eyes and said, "Wake up you doofus, he is already challenging the lower dragons, you are late by a century already. The warring disciple is now solving questions on the thousand year question wall. He is accumulation a lot of merit and you probably don't know about the importance of the thousand year wall."

The young man asked, "What do you mean?"

Caleb sighed, "I don't know how you lasted in this sect for so long, Han. Anyhow, it is said that once someone manages to solve all the questions on the thousand year question wall, they would be rewarded by a treasure left behind by the founder of the Alchemy Hall."

Han asked eagerly, "What is the treasure?"

Caleb took a deep breath and replied, "It is the dream of every alchemist in the sect to just see this treasure once. This treasure is called the Samsara cauldron. It can be used to attack, defend, and it can refine the highest level of pills."

Han looked at Caleb with wide eyes and asked, "Then why do you all dream to just look at it? Why not try to get it?"

Han could not help it and smacked the back of Caleb's head, "Idiot, even Hall Master Yang could not solve the final question. Who else do you think can get this cauldron?"

Han and Caleb were not the only ones who were discussing about this. Many other disciples were gossiping and speculating how far Shi Lang would be able to go.

...

Inside the alchemy hall, one of the disciples asked, "How many questions are there?"

Someone replied, "Seventy one. For every alchemist there are seventy different questions. Only one questions stays the same."

Another disciple asked, "Senior Brother, what is that one question?"

The disciple replied, "It was a question set by the first hall master. It can only be seen by those who can solve the seventy questions."

The people nodded in understanding when from the another corner, a disciple said, "He has finished the first fifty questions."

...

Yang Bingshan looked at Shi Lang and clenched his fists. Shi Lang was unbothered by the attention on the people on his back. He moved his hands faster and began to solve the last twenty questions that were even harder.

The elders watched his words, his actions were getting faster instead of getting slower. The elders noticed this and Yang Bingshan said, "Yeah, I can see it. It could be because of the knowledge inside the archived is linked to the higher levels that he is finding it easier to answer these questions."

Old Tang said, "Hall master, would this kid be rewarded the rank of an elder too?"

Yang Bingshan nodded and said, "This is the tradition of the Alchemy Hall, and I do not intend to discontinue it. However, the archives have finally been sorted, and we would need to think about another encouragement reward for the disciples who manage to solve these questions in the future."

The second middle-aged lady said, "Is it me or can you guys also tell what is going on with him?"

Yang Bingshan replied, "He is comprehending advanced alchemy while solving the questions. I suspect, by the time he finishes, he might be able to refine advanced pills. Sister Eden, what do you think? Is he better than your treasured disciple?"

The lady thought for a bit and then faintly nodded. She said, "I admit it, Venus might be lagging in terms of talent and skill compared to him. However, she is still the second best disciple of the Alchemy Hall, none can deny it."

Yang Bingshan nodded and said, "I did not intend to. Xiao Yue and Venus are tied for the second best now."

Xiao Yue was standing beside the people, and beside her stood a very elegant woman. The latter asked, "Senior Sister, what do you think of this child?"

Xiao Yue shook here head and replied, "He is strong and skilled. However, it is not something that could be done because you were born slightly better than your peers, but you need put in a lot of hard work too. Venus, its going to be really tough for us in the future."

Venus smiled, and replied, "I won't have it any other way."

...

Shi Lang finished dealing with the seventy questions and suddenly a pressure descended upon his shoulders. The people exclaimed when they saw a golden glow cover his body. Only Shi Lang didn't know about this cocoon on his body. The rest of the people saw him basking in a golden glow. Even the four hall elders were shocked, and they bowed to the golden light.

The Terran found himself standing in front of an old man. He bowed and cupped his fists as he asked, "Greetings, elder."

The old man smiled and nodded faintly. He said, "The final question of this wall is coming up, be ready."

Shi Lang nodded and the old man asked, "How can you revive someone, whose body is destroyed, and the soul has entered the cycle of samsara?"

The Terran was surprised but then after some thought, he said, "As of now I do not have any formula that would allow me to answer you properly, but I will not give up. I will explore the field of alchemy to the best of my ability. One day I will find it and then I will make it."

The old man was surprised and then he chuckled. He said, "Indeed, that is the spirit. Many alchemists just give up hope when they could not come up with an answer. The true answer was that their is no answer. If you can compose a formula like that, then it would be great. I look forward to your progress."
