Su Mu frowned. This was indeed a big problem. It was impossible for him to change his bone age, and it was impossible to do it with his current cultivation level.
Watching those genius alchemists go up one by one to test their bone age, Nie Changming and the others became more and more anxious when they saw that Su Mu remained silent. It would be their turn soon.
The expressions of the onlookers gradually changed as they looked at the age numbers displayed on the year column.
"That one seems to be called Xu Liming. He is only twenty-eight years old?"
"The other sixth-grade alchemists are all over thirty, and he is the only one under thirty."
"What a genius! If there is a chance encounter or something, he might be able to reach the seventh level before he is thirty!"
Listening to everyone's sighs, Xu Liming held his head proudly. Age is his biggest advantage!
Not only here, but also in the sect. As long as he becomes a seventh-level alchemist before the age of thirty, he will be the youngest seventh-level alchemist in the Sunset Sect!
"That cripple is interesting. There are still capable people in the Sunset Sect." Zuo Ning saw Xu Liming's age and couldn't help but look at him a few more times and sighed.
The testing efficiency of the Sui Nian Zhu was very fast. It didn't take long for all the talented alchemists to finish testing. Only Su Mu did not go up to test.
"Sir, the test is all over." Nie Changming and the other two people broke into cold sweats, and it was over before they could think of a solution.
Su Mu was silent and didn't move, as if he was still thinking of a solution.
"Hey, why isn't Canglan still moving?"
"He's the only one left who hasn't been tested yet. What are you waiting for?"
Everyone was surprised to see that Su Mu had not come up for the test for a long time, and doubts quickly spread among the discussions.
"He hasn't come up for a long time. Could it be that he's cheating on his age?"
"It's possible that there are too many ways to maintain your appearance. He doesn't dare to go up because he's afraid of being tested by the Sui Nian Zhu!"
"Let me tell you, how could such a powerful refining technique appear on a young man in his twenties?"
Some things cannot be guessed. Once doubts arise, there will be doubts everywhere. But after a while, most people have already questioned Su Mu's true age.
Xu Liming looked at Su Mu and smiled disdainfully. It turned out that he was cheating in front of the Danwang Temple, but there was no good outcome!
Zuo Ning on the terrace looked at him and frowned. Was he really trying to muddle through? Maybe it wasn't because he was over forty.
"Canglan, why don't you step forward for the test!" Deacon Shan looked at Su Mu and his eyes gradually turned cold. He had already become very suspicious of Su Mu's age!
"Yesterday, the Japanese deacon said that those who dare to lie about their age and get away with it will be severely punished!"
"If you don't dare to step forward for the test again, you will be treated as if you are over forty and you will be severely punished!"
Under Deacon Shan's harsh words, Su Mu finally moved and slowly walked towards the Year Pillar.
"Still stalling for time? Does it make sense?"
Seeing Su Mu's slow movements, many people thought that he was stalling for time.
"I should have run away yesterday. The refining technique is completely inappropriate for my age. Do you really think that the Danwang Temple is a fool?"
"I see, Danwang Temple suddenly took out the Year Pillar today, just for him!"
In the midst of speculation and ridicule, they really guessed the truth.
Normally, the Danwang Temple would not do this. The Sui Nian Pillar would at most serve as a deterrent and would not be taken out easily, lest the alchemist and the Danwang Temple get into trouble.
Su Mu's performance yesterday was so dazzling that the Danwang Temple did not believe Su Mu's age at all, so today he took out the age pillar to test Su Mu's age.
The big shots who visited Su Mu and gave Su Mu gifts all regretted it now and became angry with shame!
In their eyes, Su Mu tricked them and not only made them lose face, but also lost their treasure. They will definitely settle this account with Su Mu!
Su Mu stood in front of the Year Pillar. Nie Changming and the others were sweating as they looked at it. Seeing Su Mu raise his hand and press it on the Year Pillar, their heartbeats slowed down by half a beat!
"Buzz!"
The brilliance on the pillar of years passed by, and a number appeared on it.
"twenty two?"
"Twenty-two years old!?"
"Damn it, he's so young?"
Seeing the numbers on the Year Pillar, everyone opened their mouths and their minds instantly went blank!
A twenty-two-year-old seventh-grade alchemist?
What kind of evil talent is this!
"He is only twenty-two years old..." Zuo Ning couldn't help but feel suffocated when he saw Su Mu's age. A seventh-level alchemist at this age was too terrifying!
Gu Guanlin looked at Su Mu with a flash of shock in his eyes, but then he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were filled with hatred!
He could have become a seventh-level alchemist at around the age of twenty-two, but that bastard Su Mu completely ruined his alchemy career!
Now he can only watch helplessly as the genius who walks alongside him rises to the top step by step!
Seeing the age shown on the year pillar, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retracted his hand.
The senior officials of the Danwang Temple on the high platform couldn't help but start a commotion, and then they all started to question, why were they so hesitant when it came to testing their age despite being so young?
"Is he pretending?"
"Damn, are you still trying to get along with us at this time?"
"Damn it, how could Alchemist Canglan make such a joke with us."
Everyone on the scene was aware of this problem and thought that Su Mu was deliberately teasing them, but their complaints were more like coquettishness, and there was no hint of anger or resentment on their part.
"Huh..." Nie Changming and the others' hearts finally dropped, and they broke into a cold sweat again.
"Sir, how did you do that?" Nie Changming asked impatiently when Su Mu turned around and came back.
"Kung Fu." Su Mu replied casually, then took out a recovery pill and drank it.
Kung Fu? Nie Changming and the other two looked at each other in disbelief. What Kung Fu can forcibly change bone age?
They have lived for so many years and traveled all over the country, but they have never heard of such a strange technique.
Su Mu did not continue to explain to them that he was twenty-two years old using exercises, but instead of changing his bone age, he deceived the age column.
Only the madman Immortal Emperor can change the bone age, but he has been sleeping for a long time.
"Senior, I can wake you up today." Su Mu murmured with a fixed gaze.
Ignoring those renewed looks of flattery, I waited patiently for the Lun Dan Conference to officially begin.
"Rumble..."
Under Deacon Shan's operation, the Sui Niang Pillar sank to the ground, and the martial arts arena experienced more violent vibrations. The circular walls rose up layer by layer and fit together to form a three-story column staircase!
This is the alchemy platform!
"Your names are engraved in front of the fire mouth, so go up and find your place!"
As soon as Deacon Shan finished speaking, the genius alchemists took action one after another, but most of them only jumped to the first or second floor, and only a few people went up to the third floor.
The third level is only prepared for the top ten and sixth-grade alchemists, enjoying the highly anticipated honor!
Nie Changming and the others looked at Su Mu. Su Mu jumped up to the third floor and stood in front of the fire mouth engraved with his name.
There were nine people standing with him on the third floor, all of whom were sixth-grade genius alchemists!
"Why is there an extra seat?" The ten members of Su Mu soon discovered that there was an extra fire port vacancy on the third floor. They were all confused. Isn't the third floor just among the top ten? Why is there an extra one?
"Why is there no name engraved in front of the fire mouth?"
"Did the preparations for Danwang Temple go wrong?"
Everyone below also discovered this problem. Just when they were puzzled, a figure landed from high altitude on the third floor of the alchemy platform!
Taking a closer look, there was an uproar on the field instantly!
"Zuo Ning, it's Zuo Ning!"
"He actually wants to participate in the Alchemy Conference!"
