Under Hai Jia's guidance, Wen Yiming walked through several corridors and came to a room outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Give this form to Elder Wu inside, and he will take you to the grading test. Good luck, hehe!" Hai Jia handed the form into Wen Yiming's hand and said impatiently, and then sat down on the chair in the rest area next to him, closed his eyes and ignored Wen Yiming.

Wen Yiming shook his head secretly, he couldn't see the teasing look on Hai Jia's face, especially the words 'good luck', it was like mourning for himself.

After knocking on the door twice, Wen Yiming pushed the door and walked into the room, and found that the room was not big, with books on all sides, and a half-bald old man with a sixtieth armor sitting at the desk in the middle was holding a thick book and reading it with relish.

"Elder Wu, in Xia Yasuo, come to test the graded alchemy apprentice. Wen Yiming put the form in front of the old man and said.

The half-bald old man put down the book, looked down at the form, then looked up at Wen Yiming, picked up the form and walked out of the house, and said: "Old man Wu Changqing! For Lou Xing's sake, come with the old man, but don't think that the old man will open the back door for you on this." ”

Walking through the two corridors, Wu Changqing took Wen Yiming into an apprenticeship grading room with a contemporary atmosphere.

Inside, there are two rows of large metal platforms and wooden chairs like test benches, on which are placed some common utensils and pen and paper for alchemy.

On the two-foot-high platform at the front are three oversized rattan chairs, and on the left and right sides are calligraphy of academic classics about alchemy.

As soon as Wen Yiming walked into the grading room, a dozen or so teenagers and girls sitting upright inside looked up, their eyes full of puzzlement.

When Wen Yiming walked to the last row and sat down under Wu Changqing's guidance, everyone turned their heads and looked at Wen Yiming strangely.

"With such a stylish personality, I thought it was an invigilator, but he actually came to rank an apprentice, which is so funny. ”

"This man is almost twenty, how can he be an apprentice? ”

"Maybe someone is leveled as a seven-star apprentice? Aren't you and I seventeen years old? Alchemy is already difficult to advance. ”

"That's true, I really don't know how our little princess Qin Huan of Puluo City practiced, it is said that she was promoted to a seven-star junior alchemist at the age of seventeen, envy!"

"You know, don't dream, the invigilator is here, and it's time to start the test. ”

Wen Yiming listened to the gossip while fiddling with various utensils on the stage with great interest, and kept deducing some difficult formula refining steps in his mind.

At this time, two old men, a man and a woman, walked into the front desk, followed by a young man in a white robe holding a stack of test papers.

The two old men nodded at Wu Changqing and sat on the rattan chairs against the wall.

Wu Changqing knocked on the table and said loudly: "Let's start the grading test, because everyone's grading is different, the one who calls the name comes up to get the answer sheet, and then leaves automatically after doing it; Understood?"

In unison, Wu Changqing picked up a stack of tables on the table and read: "He Bing, five-star apprentice ranking!"

A thin young man hurriedly walked out of the test table, took the corresponding answer sheet screened by the white-robed young man, and quickly returned to his seat, but he was not in a hurry to fill in the answer sheet.

"Sang Zhenping, six-star apprentice ranking!"

After a short time, the form in Wu Changqing's hand was almost flipped over, and Wen Yiming also heard during the period that the people who came to rank were basically alchemy apprentices with more than three stars, and most of them were five or six stars.

"Yasuo, the first level of the alchemy apprentice. ”

When Wen Yiming walked out of the test bench, everyone's eyes looked at Wen Yiming with this boo, they couldn't believe that such an older young man was actually graded for the first time.

"This, I'm defeated!"

"Who's to say it isn't, but how do I feel like I've found confidence?"

"Mm-hmm, it occurred to me that I might be able to extract a confidence catalyst from this guy. ”

"Haha"

"Silence!" Wu Changqing slapped on the table, looking at the back of Wen Yiming who received the answer sheet and walked back to his seat, he was also puzzled, and sighed secretly, what happened to the old building? This wanderer is so old, and he doesn't know how much time it took to get started, so he actually signed in person and believed that this guy got started in two and a half years, is it possible?

Of course, Wu Changqing didn't know Wen Yiming's strange views on ranking, because as long as he was an alchemist, he wanted to rank as soon as he was promoted, and then obtain the corresponding level of alchemy robes, so as to improve his identity and status in the alchemy world, which was an honor and a symbol of strength.

Because many academic events in the alchemy world, as well as high-level competitions, require certain achievements in alchemy to be invited to participate, if it has not been ranked, the Alchemy Guild does not have relevant identity information, let alone invitation, and is not even eligible to enter.

This also formed a kind of inertial thinking, that is, a person who has not advanced but has not passed the Alchemy Guild ranking test, if there is, then this person must be a fool.

Wu Changqing looked at Wen Yiming, who sat down with a calm face, and said secretly, what a waste of this good skin, the wild style of a wanderer, but his talent is so low.

Knocking on the table again, Wu Changqing lifted the hourglass in his hand and said, "Half an hour, overtime has been reduced to a rating failure, start!"

After speaking, he put the hourglass upside down on the table, and sat next to the red-faced old man reflexively, his eyes slightly narrowed as he glanced at the grading personnel below.

"Old Wu, what Yasuo is, what's going on?" the gray-haired old woman whispered, turning her head

Wu Changqing's eyes still scanned the bottom, and he sighed in a low voice: "Lou Xing signed, alas, there is no hope." ”

The old woman nodded, "Yes, at a glance, I know that talent is not good, this child should be a determined person, otherwise he would not have persevered until now, it's a pity." ”

The red-faced old man next to him shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what the meeting is doing this time, the answer sheet of the first-time grading apprentice was actually set by the elder seat of the association himself, I have seen the question, it is too difficult not to say, many questions are very obscure." ”

Wu Changqing interjected: "It is said that the general assembly has issued a supreme order, looking for an alchemy apprentice, and I don't know if it's because of this matter." ”

When the old woman heard this, she echoed: "It seems that every branch has held a major meeting in this matter, and it seems to be very important, it is said that the explosion of the Shenzhao Tower Induction Tablet is related to an alchemy apprentice, and I still feel a little incredible." ”

Wu Changqing shook his head, "It's really incomprehensible, okay, let's supervise well, now these little guys have a lot of ghost ideas, don't let them drill the leak."

Wen Yiming below was looking at the answer sheet with his head buried in it, and he didn't know the whispered dialogue on the stage at all.

After a while, Wen Yiming lifted the goose feather dip pen and filled in the basic information such as name, age, and time to get started, and then began to answer the questions smoothly.

He thought the questions on the answer sheet were very simple, with his speed and ability to remember ten lines at a glance, just skimming once, the answer was already in his mind.

In a few minutes, the answer sheet was completely completed.

Although the three questions on the last answer sheet were not difficult for him, Wen Yiming still felt that the questioner was a little tricky, and he didn't know whether to answer the questions, because some of the answers couldn't be found in the basic books at all, and they completely came to his mind.

Two of them were about several very unorthodox liquid materials and asked to write down more than 10 ways of using them, and one was about a basic formula, which required respondents to make bold changes to the materials and imagine more than three modified formulas without considering the efficacy of the drug.

Wen Yiming always felt that this topic was a little strange, he didn't think that the answer sheet of an alchemy apprentice who was first graded would have such a strange question.

If the wood is beautiful in the forest, people will cut it down! In the Western Regions, he really does not dare to show his edge.

However, these three answers basically account for 50% of the total score, and if you don't answer them, you are likely to fail the grading. In this way, he will not be able to participate in the test of the contestant's qualifications, and it is uncertain whether Yang Hong's old man will trouble himself on the grounds of playing with him.
