Rumble!

The formation on the refining table was opened again.

Blazing, burning, blooming heat.

Compared with Lin Yuan and Sun Yuan, Xu Jing is obviously much calmer, just like a battle-hardened veteran, her eyes are sharp, under the control of powerful spiritual power, this flame is constantly changing shape, compared to Lin Yuan and Sun Yuan, it is obviously much more proficient.

"Points!"

After a moment of skillful manipulation, Xu quietly let out a low shout, and the flames in front of him suddenly dispersed, turning into three, suspended in the air, like a dancing elf.

"Well, that's good. ”

Liu Guang nodded, this Xu Jing's performance is so-so so at present, much better than the previous two.

But whether you can pass the test depends on the next performance.

In front of everyone's eyes, Xu Jing's eyes were solemn, and she saw the three flames slowly fluttering, one on top and two on the bottom, gradually taking on a ladder shape.

Everyone's breath was choked and they didn't move, for fear of disturbing her operation.

A moment later –

Airplanes!

The three flames were completely arranged, and they almost failed to fuse in the middle a few times, but they were all survived by Xu Jing.

"Good. ”

"Finally there's a done. ”

Chen Du and Ouyang Cheng were overjoyed, with a smile on their faces and a long breath.

Liu Guang also nodded slightly: "Yes, this second round of assessment, you have passed." ”

"Thank you Master Liu Guang, Master Chen Du, and Master Ouyang Cheng. ”

Xu Jing couldn't hide the excitement on her face, clenched her fists excitedly, and stepped back.

"Next, Zhou Tao. ”

"Is it my turn?"

Zhou Tao came to the refining table with a smile on his face, full of confidence, and confident.

"Boom!"

Gently urging the true element, a burst of fire quickly levitated, blazing.

"Flame splitting is just the simplest fire control skill, and it is a necessary skill for an alchemist. ”

Zhou Tao stood in front of the refining table, his head held high, looking at Lin Yuan and Ye Xing, as if a mentor was teaching students.

"Huh!"

With a wave of his hand, the flames in front of him instantly divided into three, and with a slight movement of spiritual power, the three flames became ladder-shaped, lifelike.

"Everyone has seen it, in fact, Master Liu Guang's question is very simple, you only need to control the attributes of the flames, understand the operation of the fire gathering array, and add a little bit of spiritual power control, you can easily complete the second round of assessment. ”

Zhou Tao seems to be a master, with a mellow voice and a chic voice.

"The so-called three flames are actually just the most basic flame structure, and a true alchemist, as long as he studies carefully, under the first-order spiritual power, even if he separates five flames, it is not a difficult task. ”

Smiling slightly, Zhou Tao flicked his right hand, and the three flames dispersed again, turning into five, layering each other, like a pyramid.

These five flames, constantly changing in his palm, conjured into various shapes, in the shape of a ladder and a pagoda, which is beautiful, and it is overwhelming.

"Shhh ”

Lin Yuan and the others all gasped, their eyes widened.

This Zhou Tao is too perverted, they can't even control three flames, but this Zhou Tao can actually control five, and he is so comfortable.

Everyone only felt that their faces were hot, as if they had been slapped hard.

The same senior apprentices who participated in the assessment, why is there such a big gap between them?

"Genius, it's a genius!"

Even Chen Du and Ouyang Cheng were dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

With five flames at their fingertips, and with such ease of control, even if they wanted to, it was not easy.

This son's powerful ability to control fire is simply against the sky.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Zhou Tao smiled proudly, feeling a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, and looked at Ye Xing provocatively.

In the first round, didn't you get a full score, but you also passed the second round if you have the ability.

What is it to memorize all kinds of content of alchemy to the extreme? If you can't pass the fire control assessment, it's useless.

"Well, it's not bad, this round of assessment, Zhou Tao passed. ”

Master Liu Guang nodded in satisfaction, but he was not much shocked.

What kind of vision he had, he could see at a glance that the reason why Zhou Tao was able to do this was not because of how awesome his mental power control was, but more because of his physique.

If you are not mistaken, this person should awaken a fire-based second-grade bloodline, which is naturally sensitive to flames, and secondly, what he cultivates is also a fire-based exercise, and the true qi in his body has its own flame attributes.

This also led to the fact that when Zhou Tao controlled the flames, it was several times easier than other alchemists.

It is better to have an alchemist who is also a fire wood attribute, of course, the dual attributes themselves are very rare, and where the cultivators with dual spirit roots go is not the focus.

It is natural to control the physique and complement each other.

The next one to be assessed is Wang An.

Wang An, who was in his sixties, stood in front of the refining table, older than the three alchemy masters, which made people sigh.

He trembled, trembled, and carefully controlled the fire.

Decades of assessment, even if the talent is low, has made him have enough experience in various projects.

In the end, he barely passed the assessment.

"I actually passed three. ”

I thought that the second round of assessment would be extremely difficult, but after the assessment of five people, three of them passed the assessment, which surprised Chen Du and the others a little.

The quality of this round of candidates is not ordinary, especially Zhou Tao, the probability of becoming an alchemist is extremely high.

Next, Ye Xing came on the field.

The perfect score in the last round made him receive extra attention, and several people present stared at him deadly.

"Hmph, the first round of assessment is only theory, but this second round of assessment is practical operation, even if the knowledge of alchemy is high, it can only scare people, if you want to become a real alchemist, you must finally implement the operation. Zhou Tao sneered and looked at Ye Xing playfully.

Everyone else also thinks the same way as Zhou Tao.

It's really that Ye Xing is too young, he can reach the extreme of theoretical knowledge, he has already surveyed the sky, and it is almost impossible to achieve much in operation.

But after suffering the previous slap in the face, although Chen Du and Ouyang Cheng questioned it in their hearts, they didn't dare to show the slightest expression on their faces.

Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Ye Xing came to the refining table and gently urged the formation.

Call!

A scorching flame appeared in Ye Xing's hand.

"Huh. ”

Only this time, Liu Guang stood up suddenly, and a sound of surprise came out of his mouth.

"This is"

"What's going on"

Several other people also noticed the change on the refining table and exclaimed in surprise.

I saw that the formation pattern on the refining table was only half activated, and then stopped, and it was not fully activated at all, which also caused the flame in Ye Xing's hand to be only half the size of a normal person.

"Haha, even this fire gathering array can't be activated at all, and you want to pass the fire control assessment?"

couldn't help it, Zhou Tao sneered and blurted out.

It's so funny.

I said that this kid is so young, he definitely won't have much attainment in refining medicine, and now it seems that I still think highly of him.

Chen Du and the others also couldn't cry or laugh, looking at Master Liu Guang strangely, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Is this the candidate you are optimistic about?

It's also a shame

Master Liu Guang's face was strange, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

When he saw the answer to Ye Xing's written test just now, he was instantly shocked, although he knew that Ye Xing might not be strong in actual operation, but he still had some expectations in his heart.

But who would have thought that Ye Xing's actual operation would be so rotten.

The Fire Gathering Array is the most basic fire formation, and the first thing any alchemy apprentice should do when learning to refine medicine is to activate the Fire Gathering Array and form a formation.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xing couldn't even fully activate the Gathering Fire Array, which immediately disappointed Master Liu Guang.

"Haha, Ye Xing, I advise you to just give up the assessment, you can't even activate the Gathering Fire Array, and if you want to complete the assessment set by Master Liu Guang, it's completely impossible. ”

Shaking his head, Zhou Tao seemed to be kind to persuasion, but in fact, his heart blossomed.

What can I do with a full score in the first round of assessment, Master Liu Guang was so optimistic about this kid just now, hmph, who is the only genius today, presumably Master Liu Guang should know by now.

"Ye Xing, you go down, you have only activated half of the flames formed by the Gathering Fire Array, and you can't divide the flames into three at all, let alone Nengga?"

Chen Duan seized the opportunity, also stepped forward, shook his head and said, only halfway through the words, he suddenly choked in his throat, his eyes were about to fall, and he looked at Ye Xing in front of him, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Pharmacist Chendui, what did you say?"

I saw that in front of me, the faint flame in Ye Xing's hand had been divided into three at this time, burning quietly and very stable.

"I... I say.. .. .. Ahem"

Chen Dui cried with a sad face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Let yourself be cheap, you have to go up and taunt it, now it's okay, get slapped in the face.

As soon as he said that half of the flames of the Gathering Fire Array had been activated, there was no way to divide the flames into three, and in the blink of an eye, the flames in Ye Xing's hand were separated.

This face is hot and too ruthless.

This kid is not Lao Tzu's nemesis.

"Ahem!" "Ahem!" his eyes rolled, resisting the urge to find a place to drill down, Chen Du coughed twice, "I mean, the fire formation formed by activating half of the fire gathering array is very weak, even if it can be divided into three flames, it can't be superimposed into a ladder type, so"

Before the words fell, I saw Ye Xing gently urging his spiritual power, and the three weak flames that were separated in his hands actually moved quickly, one up and two down, forming a perfect triangular trapezoid.

"Me"

His throat choked suddenly, and Chen Dui's eyes were about to fall off, and he was about to cry.

Big brother, can you stop playing with me like this?

My little liver can't stand it.

As soon as he said that such a weak flame could not be divided into three flames, it was divided into three flames in the blink of an eye, and then he said that it could not form a ladder type, and before he finished speaking, Ye Xing formed a ladder type of flame.

Chen Du almost felt the urge to die here, this face was too embarrassing.

It's impossible, how the hell do you do it? It's definitely cheating. ”

Next to him, Zhou Tao looked angry.

The flames formed by activating only half of the Gathering Fire Array are very weak, and the amount of flames contained is only half of normal, how can it be possible to do this?"

Zhou Tao looked left and right, wondering if Ye Xing had done something somewhere.

This is simply counterintuitive.

"Who told you that you can't do this with only half of the flames formed by the Gathering Fire Array?"

Ye Xing asked rhetorically.

"This"

Zhou Tao is going crazy, do you still need to be told by others? It's the most basic common sense.

The Gathering Fire Array was only half activated, and the flames formed could not be stabilized at all, so naturally they could not be formed, let alone split the flames or superimpose them, which was common knowledge that any alchemist knew. ”

Zhou Tao snorted angrily.

"What kind of common sense is this?" Shaking his head speechlessly, Ye Xing said, "Then do you know how many formations there are on the fire gathering array in front of us?"

"I'm not a formation mage, how do I know. ”

There is too much knowledge for an alchemist to learn, and he doesn't even have time to learn the knowledge of alchemy, so where is the time to learn what formations.

Of course, there is also the existence of rebellion, in the past, Danzun Wanmu was not only an outstanding alchemist, but also an associated alchemist, and even an inscription master and a formation mage... .. ..

"You don't even know how many formations the Gathering Fire Array has, how do you know that you can't do this with only half of the formation activated?"

Hearing Zhou Tao's words, Ye Xing was speechless: "Let me tell you, the fire gathering array on the refining platform in front of us belongs to the first-order fire gathering array, which is composed of a total of one hundred and eight formation patterns, and among them, there are thirty-six main formation patterns and seventy-two secondary formation patterns. ”

"Among them, the main formation controls the formation of the flame, and the secondary formation controls the temperature and shape of the flame. ”

"That is to say, when an alchemist is refining the elixir, he only needs to activate the thirty-six main formation patterns to form a stable flame, and at the same time, the flame temperature and form can be controlled according to the number of secondary formation patterns that can be opened. ”

"In this way, the spiritual power of the alchemist has been greatly liberated, so that when an alchemist is refining the elixir, he does not have to spend a lot of mental energy to control the temperature and form of the flame, and only needs to choose how many formations to activate. ”

"And the current fire gathering array in front of me has activated a total of thirty-six main formations and eighteen secondary formations, in this case, the fire array is extremely stable, and it is very suitable for flame splitting, which is why I only activate so many formations. ”

"You don't even know this, and you're laughing at me, don't you think it's a little ridiculous?"

Ye Xing shook his head speechlessly, looking at Zhou Tao as if he was looking at a fool.

"It's just nonsense, I, Zhou Tao, have been studying fire control for so long, and I have never heard of such a theory, controlling the temperature and form of the flame by activating the number of formations, it's ridiculous, if that's the case, what do you want the alchemist to do by cultivating spiritual power. ”

"Three masters, are you talking nonsense about this Ye Xing. Zhou Tao said angrily.

Ye Xing was simply questioning the truth that the alchemist had always been, and he was just trying to cover up his cheating by doing so.

"This"

Chen Du and Ouyang Cheng glanced at each other, to be honest, they hadn't heard the theory Ye Xing said.

Even Liu Guang was suspicious.

Controlling the temperature and shape of the flame by activating the array is indeed a new concept.

There is no such record in any of the alchemy books they have studied.

"Isn't it nonsense very simple, the three masters just need to try it themselves. ”

Too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy again, Ye Xing said lightly.

At the same time, Ye Xing complained again about the outdated alchemy system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even what the three-year-old child in the Martial Domain Dan Pagoda knew, the three official alchemists present didn't know, and it was too lonely and unheard.

"Good!"

Liu Guang and the three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time came to the other refining table to activate the fire gathering array above.

Rumble!

According to Ye Xing's theory, they only activated the thirty-six main formations above.

A flame appeared in front of the three of them at the same time.

The flame was actually activated, and it was very stable. ”

This flame is very weak, darker in color, and less warm, but I have to admit that its structure is very stable, even if it is not controlled by mental power, it does not show any signs of collapse.
