Chapter 177: Admissions Ceremony
Out of the inn gate, Lin Mo was still worried that he wouldn't be able to find where the alchemist guild would hold the enrollment ceremony, but he saw groups of people running in the same direction.
"Quick, quick, quick, the enrollment ceremony of the Alchemist Guild is about to start!"
Listening to the shouts of the crowd, Lin Mo followed curiously and came to the venue outside the Anding City Gate of the Imperial Capital of the Royal City.
This venue is much larger than the World Punishment Square, there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 spectator seats on the periphery alone, the high platform in the middle is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people attending the enrollment ceremony, and the high platform a little further forward is the seat of the evaluator, there are three seats, and the size of the area can be expanded by ten people.
"The table of this Alchemist Guild is too big...... Lin Mo sighed sincerely.
The construction cost of the site alone is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of billions of copper coins, and the combined annual income of several cities can reach so much, no wonder the emperor of the royal city has eight city gates, which were originally separated separately and used for other purposes.
"Today is the day when the Medicine King recruits disciples, and it is also the enrollment ceremony of the Alchemist Guild, the requirements are even more demanding, only two disciples with outstanding talent will be selected from the hundred disciples as the inheritors of the mantle, and they are limited to one stick of incense to sign up, and the number of people is not limited!"
The white-haired old man who spoke on the stage, as long as he was from the imperial capital of the royal city, knew that he was Qu Bowen, the president of the Alchemist Guild, and for a while, the applause and cheers continued, pushing the atmosphere of the venue that had not yet started the enrollment ceremony to a high tide.
"Qu Bowen, Qu Bowen!"
As the number of applicants increased, the audience became extremely excited, wanting to stand out among tens of thousands of people and become the disciple of the vice president Medicine King Dayan, it was simply difficult to climb to the sky, but it also showed how high the status of the Alchemist Guild was in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Candidates attending the admissions ceremony are seated!"
Qu Bowen's rich voice echoed throughout the square, and those candidates who signed up for the enrollment ceremony walked onto the stage one after another, looking at the black oppression.
"The first item, the soul power test, put your right hand on the soul manifestation stone, use your soul power, and take the five grades of heaven, earth, xuan, yellow, and spirit as the assessment results, I announce that the assessment will start now!"
Hearing the cheers in the hall, the candidate standing at the front put his right hand on the soul manifestation stone, secretly operated his soul power, and saw a dazzling light emanating from it, and a row of yellow rank nine grade handwriting gradually condensed on the soul stone.
"Unqualified, next!"
The soul power of the Yellow Order Nine Rank was too ordinary for Qu Bowen, and he didn't even reach the primary threshold, if he was included in the Alchemist Guild, it would be a waste of medicinal material resources, and he wouldn't have much achievement.
After all, the profession of alchemist has very strict requirements for soul power, which is seriously related to how far this path can go and how high the achievements can be.
"Unqualified, next!"
Qu Bowen looked at the results that appeared on the manifest soul with a serious face, and he was very helpless in his heart, the Alchemist Guild already had too many people with ordinary talents, and if he accepted some more people with ordinary talents, it would be a mess.
"Unqualified, next!"
“.........”
As time passes, there are more and more unqualified candidates, and so far there are only three candidates who have passed the first grade.
"I'm really in a hurry, and I don't know if I can pass it. ”
"After the soul power evaluation, you may not be able to enter the Alchemist Guild, so let's wait honestly. ”
"I can't even pass the soul power test, and it's a joke to come to the alchemist test. ”
“......”
Those candidates were talking nonsense, the people who came to participate in the enrollment ceremony were all men, not a single woman, and the minimum cultivation was all in the Soul Martial Realm, Lin Mo felt quite strange, could there be no woman willing to refine medicine?
As the doubts in his heart arose, Lin Mo quickly got the answer, and one of the candidates said the reason, the woman was reluctant to refine the medicine because the temperature of the refining medicine was too high, and it was easy to sweat, which caused the private parts to be looked at.
"Yes, brother, you know that. ”
"There's so much you don't know. ”
"Hey, it's finally me!"
When the candidate put his hand up, he saw the Soul Manifestation Stone shining brightly, and the four big characters of the six grades of the ground level appeared, triggering the shouts of the audience.
"It's the sixth grade of the ground level, and it's a high grade of soul power. ”
"Yes, it's been a long time since there has been such a high level of soul power. ”
“......”
With the cheers of everyone, Qu Bowen's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he finally met a high-level soul power candidate.
"Damn, such an ugly fat man's soul power level is so high?"
"It's really more popular than people!"
“......”
The candidates in the venue were boiling, and the fat man who was not good-looking walked to the rest table under the angry gaze of everyone.
Today, there are a total of four people who have passed the soul power assessment, three of them are people from the first to second grades of the ground level, and the highest is the fat man.
Lin Mo is also very strange, this fat man's soul power is quite strong, judging from the feeling, it should be formed the day after tomorrow.
There are three types of strong soul power of an alchemist, the first is to have a strong soul power congenitally, the second is the soul power enhanced through cultivation, and the last is the origin of the soul power that is shameless, forcibly taking the soul power of others to enhance one's own soul power.
After about a stick of incense, many candidates were eliminated, and only ten people were still standing on the examination platform.
"Hey, could it be that this time you can only harvest people from the ground level?" Qu Bowen's heart was a little uncomfortable, his long-awaited enrollment ceremony, but the result was like this.
"It's the Heavenly Order!"
With a burst of exclamations, Qu Bowen suddenly came to his senses, the person who evaluated this time made him almost vomit out the overnight meal, he looked too abstract, and he couldn't use the aesthetics of a normal person to examine this person at all.
"Why are people with high soul power levels so ugly..."
"That's it, forget about the fat man who was ugly just now, now it's even uglier, can this enrollment ceremony continue......"
"The old lady doesn't believe that there is no handsome brother in this enrollment ceremony!"
Both male and female viewers in the audience began to complain about this candidate with heaven-level soul power.
Lin Mo didn't care about anything, but felt that this person had commendable courage, looked so abstract, and dared to appear in front of everyone, so he was not afraid of being destroyed by humanity.
"Damn, it's the Heavenly Rank again!"
With the exclamations of the audience, the candidates behind them were all heaven-level soul powers, and their appearance was better than the previous one, which was quite scary.
"Goo Dong ......" Qu Bowen swallowed his saliva, if he handed over these people to the Medicine King Dayan, he would not be able to eat him alive.
"God, you can't do this to me, if you really send these monsters to that old guy, my life will be lost......" Qu Bowen showed an expression that was more ugly than crying, and silently prayed in his heart that bad luck would not come.
"Wow, this guy is so handsome! ”
After experiencing the baptism of spicy eyes, Lin Mo's existence is undoubtedly the focus of the audience, and those girls or women who have given birth to children all showed the expression of a nymphomaniac.
"I can guarantee that the average white-haired person will appear in the finale, and it will definitely amaze the audience!"
As the man's voice fell, he saw Lin's right hand placed on the Manifestation Stone, and a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky burst out in an instant, and before the results appeared, the entire examination platform suddenly trembled.
"Damn, is this going to be an earthquake?"
The audience showed frightened expressions, and then an explosion sounded, and the soul stone on the examination platform exploded into pieces, and the pillar of light also disappeared.
"This soul power is too terrifying......
The candidates sitting under the rest table all felt cold sweat on their backs, and Qu Bowen was no exception, under that pillar of light, a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, and it was only when high-level soul power brought about coercion that this situation occurred.
"Finally, you don't have to die!" Qu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was very satisfied with the handsome and tall young man in front of him.
"That, that, I'm sorry, I didn't control the strength of my soul power for a while......" Lin Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.
At this moment, a figure flew down from mid-air, he looked at Qu Bowen, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you have such a genius, you won't send anyone to tell me, are you planning to swallow it alone!"
The corners of Qu Bowen's mouth twitched a few times, and he was really afraid of something: "Brother Yan, didn't I just meet you, and I didn't have time to inform you that I came......"
Da Yan snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I want this kid, and the rest of the people you like to distribute as much as you like." ”
"That's not good, Brother Yan, don't you want two disciples, this is only one. ”
"Ahh ”
Before Qu Bowen could think about it, Da Yan forcibly abducted Lin Mo in full view of everyone.
"It's the Medicine King!"
"Damn, this kid is lucky with shit, the medicine king has rushed over. ”
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the remaining twelve candidates were all crying and sad, this is still a fart, everyone was forcibly taken away by the medicine king, and they have to face the rest of the assessment.
After such a fuss from the Medicine King, Qu Bowen knew that the subsequent assessment would be affected, so he simply did not compare, which could be regarded as setting a precedent for the Alchemist Guild.
"After the unanimous decision of the senior management of the Alchemist Guild, as long as the candidates in this assessment pass the soul power assessment, they can become intern alchemists. ”
Qu Bowen's voice was not loud, but the people present were not enthusiastic, such a big person as the Medicine King, the top alchemists of the Great Xia Dynasty had appeared, what status did these little people have.
"Hey, it's really more popular than people. ”
"Who said it wasn't, I thought this was the beginning, but I didn't expect it to end in a blink of an eye......"
The candidates under the rest table whispered, and the enrollment ceremony of the Alchemist Guild ended with the Medicine King forcibly abducting the genius candidates, and even the Xia King was shocked.
Medicine King Dayan is the representative of the alchemist of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he actually forcibly abducted the examinee in front of everyone, if this is known by other dynasties, where should this old face be placed.
King Xia sat on the dragon chair in his study and said angrily: "This big rock is really getting more and more presumptuous, and he actually did such a thing!"
"King Xia, why don't I let the Medicine King come to your study?"
"No need, this is not a big deal, rashly let the medicine king come to the study, after all, it is not good, but this candidate is a little interesting, send someone to check his background, the more detailed the better." ”
Just as King Xia issued the order, a respectful greeting came from outside the study.
"Chen Tan Yuanjie has something important to play. ”
"Enter!"
With King Xia's approval, Tan Yuanjie pushed the door and walked into the study, kneeling on the ground respectfully: "The candidates who participated in the alchemist enrollment ceremony have already found out the background, please take a look at King Xia." ”
The person standing beside King Xia walked down, and when he was about to pick up the sealed letter, he whispered: "Xiaojie, well done!"
Tan Yuanjie didn't speak, still maintaining a serious expression, but King Xia saw the two of them clearly.
"There's nothing you can't say in front of me, and you have to whisper secretly. King Xia said lightly.
As the commander of the Blade Iron Cavalry and the most trusted assistant by King Xia's side, Xia Yuanhua scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, it's just that Xiaojie's work efficiency has been getting better and better recently." ”
King Xia glanced at Xia Yuanhua, opened the letter and read it carefully, and after learning that it was Lin Mo's background, he was stunned on the spot: "It turned out to be General Jiang's grandson, this is too coincidental." ”
