Everyone talked about it and looked at Zhou Tao with envy.

A twenty-five-year-old first-grade alchemist was rare even in the entire history of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Dan Pavilion.

Even geniuses who look at the entire alchemy world can be included in the top 100 existences, not to mention, the future is limitless!

Even Huang Yuling and Steward Luo looked envious, and their eyes were full of brilliance.

If he can take a fancy to me, then I will be blessed for the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, Huang Yuling glanced at Ye Xing with disdain, Huang Yuling's mind was floating, and she had already thought about how to seduce Zhou Tao to bed.

"The last fifth, Wang An, ninety-two points!"

This time it was an old man with gray hair, estimated to be in his sixties, trembling and trembling, his beard shaking with excitement.

"God opened his eyes, and he really didn't give up on old decay. ”

The old man had tears in his eyes, and he was about to cry.

When everyone saw this, they sighed.

There are many people who know this Wang An, and he is a frequent visitor to the Dan Pavilion, but in fact, he has become a high-level alchemy apprentice in his thirties.

In the nearly thirty years since then, this person has had to take the alchemist assessment several times a year, and now there are no less than hundreds of times, but until now, he still has not been able to become a first-class alchemist.

This is the fifth time he has passed the first round of assessments, so it's no wonder he's so excited.

If you don't pass the assessment, your chances in the future will only become slimmer and slimmer.

"Okay, the number of people who passed is only five, you pack up and prepare to come in with me, everyone else can go, come back next time." Wang Jun rolled up the list and turned around to leave.

Not far away, Ye Xing was stunned.

And that's the end of it?

"Wait, how about me?"

Taking a step forward, Ye Xing couldn't help but say.

His own answer, he is very clear, through this first round of assessment, there is absolutely no problem.

But now there is no name on the list, how is this possible?

"You?" Wang Jun turned his head and squinted at Ye Xing, and sneered: "Which green onion are you, if you don't have your name, you just didn't pass the assessment, you don't understand this?" ”

He saw Chen Du and Ouyang Cheng's attitude towards Ye Xing just now, and he knew that the mentor was not busy with this person, so how could his attitude be good.

"Who is it to ask such a stupid question. ”

"I'll see, ha, it's this guy. ”

"It turned out to be this kid who handed in the paper in half an hour. ”

"Hehe, I heard that he is not even an apprentice in alchemy, and he also came to participate in the assessment, and the key to participate in the assessment is just that, and he handed in the paper in half an hour, and now he is still asking why he doesn't have his own name. ”

"God, he's here to be funny, right?"

Everyone saw that it was Ye Xing who asked, and their faces were strange, showing ridicule.

"Why don't you have your name, then you still need to ask, you have been eliminated, understand? ”

couldn't hold back any longer, Huang Yuling looked disdainful.

At this time, I'm still pretending, so I'm not tired!

I'm tired if you're not tired.

"Young people, don't be ambitious, down-to-earth is the king. ”

Steward Luo couldn't help but complain.

Suddenly, Ye Xing became the target of everyone.

With a sneer, Wang Jun turned around and was about to enter the assessment room with the five people who had passed the first round, when suddenly there was a squeak, the door of the assessment room opened, and three figures hurriedly walked out of the assessment room.

"Master Liu Guang, Mentor Ouyang, Master Chen Du. ”

Seeing the person coming clearly, Wang Jun was startled and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Who is Ye Xing?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Guang didn't even look at him, and said urgently, his eyes wandering in the hall, very anxious.

"What's going on?"

With a sigh, Huang Yuling and Steward Luo were shocked at the same time.

Seeing Master Liu Guang's hurried appearance, it couldn't be that Ye Xing did something inside and angered Master Liu Guang, right?

It's over, Ye Xing was brought here by her, if something really happens, they will also punish it.

"Master Liu Guang, he is Ye Xing, this person is not even an apprentice of alchemy, I have to come to participate in the alchemist assessment, and I was forced to bring him here out of desperation. ”

"Yes, Master Liu Guang, his subordinates were also forced by the rules of the Dan Pavilion to let him report his name, did he do something to anger you, Master?. ”

Huang Yuling and Steward Luo hurriedly cleared up their relationship, and at the same time shouted at Ye Xing: "Boy, tell me quickly, what did you do to provoke Master Liu Guang so angry, it is not as good as the truth." ”

"You are Ye Xing?"

Master Liu Guang's gaze fell on Ye Xing, but he was taken aback.

Young, too young.

It's really hard to imagine that the test paper just now would be made by such a young teenager.

At such a young age, his attainments in alchemy are so amazing, how can there be such a genius in this world?

Originally, Master Liu Guang had been looking forward to Ye Xing, but now that he was so young, his heart was even more excited.

"Haha, it's really a hero out of a teenager, okay, great. ”

Liu Guang jumped up happily: I didn't expect that the one who got a perfect score of 100 points in the first round turned out to be such a young teenager, I really didn't expect it, it seems that I am the Dange of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the future is promising. ”

"What?"

"Out of 100?"

"Is Master Liu Guang talking about this Ye Xing?"

"How is this possible? It can't be fake, 100 points, this is a good question, and such a result, why didn't he have his name just now?"

Everyone was stunned, and the scene exploded as if there was an earthquake.

What are you kidding, 100 points, they have all done the test, and they know how difficult the questions of this session are, which can be seen from the fact that the other people have only 92 points at the highest.

But Ye Xing, a guy who is not an apprentice in alchemy, actually got a full score, which was simply shocking and going crazy.

"Master Liu Guang, how do you want to punish him, just open your mouth, and I will call the people from the Dange Guard immediately. ”

Huang Yuling and Steward Luo were still in a hurry to clear themselves, when suddenly their voices stopped, their eyes were round, like a duck that had been choked, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Full marks, this Ye Xing?

Huang Yuling and Steward Luo's faces turned red instantly, and then the ground turned white, and their souls were unbearable.

I have been chattering all the time before, saying that others don't know how to lift, and they are pretending to be there, and they are not even alchemy apprentices, and they also want to come to participate in the alchemy assessment.

As a result, the other party directly came to a full score in the first round of assessment.

If ordinary people said this, they wouldn't believe it at all, but now it's Master Liu Guang who is saying this, how can it be false.

The two of them only felt dizzy and dizzy, and they were about to go crazy.

The others were all dizzy, and their eyes were about to fall to the ground in shock.

It's really too pitiful, not only is this kid not an apprentice in medicine refining, but he also only participated in the first round of assessment for half an hour before handing in the papers, I thought he was scribbling, but who knew that he would get a full score directly.

It's simply more popular than people.

They worked hard for an hour, but they didn't pass the assessment, and they were all senior alchemy apprentices.

Compared with the Ye Xing in front of him, he is simply scum.

"Okay, those who have passed the assessment, come in with me and prepare for the second round of assessment. ”

Master Liu Guang glanced at Ye Xing kindly, looked satisfied, and walked in with everyone.

Only the stunned crowd was left, still stunned.

Ignoring the people who were already going crazy outside, Ye Xing came to the assessment room again.

On the open space in front of them, there were six alchemy tables, which were often used by alchemists to place items such as Dan furnaces and medicinal materials.

But at this moment, on this alchemy platform, there was nothing, empty, no medicinal materials, and no Dan furnace.

"What is going to be assessed in this second round?"

"I don't know, look at this posture, is it to assess the operation? But there are no medicinal materials and Dan furnaces, how can we take the test?"

"I hope that the assessment will be what I am better at. ”

Sun Yuan and the others, who had passed the first round of assessment, stood in front of the medicine refining table, their expressions nervous and worried.

This second round is one of the ten operations of alchemy, and it is the time to observe a real operation ability, as long as he passes this second round, it is equivalent to half a foot has stepped into the door of the alchemist.

"Okay, first of all, congratulations to all of you, you have passed the first round, this second round, will test your ability to control fire, you should prepare first, and immediately start the assessment in order. ”

Liu Guang waved his hand and said in a loud voice.

"What, it turned out to be a test to control the fire. ”

"It's over, how can I take this test?"

"I'll go, I'm the weakest, didn't I use all the drugs to test the defense medicine or something? In the ten operations, I can't control the fire. ”

Hearing the content of this second assessment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The ten operations of alchemy contain a lot of content, similar to the debate of medicine, the distribution of medicine, the hot ding, the control of medicine, the control of fire, the condensation of pills, and so on

Among them, the most familiar one is the dialectic of medicine, because distinguishing various medicinal materials is the most basic skill to become an alchemist, and this is what has been assessed in the past.

But who knows, today's assessment turned out to be fire control.

Isn't this a matter of human life?

Looking at the rather chaotic scene, Liu Guang snorted coldly: "As we all know, the strength of fire control ability is the premise of whether an alchemist can refine a fine elixir, if he can't even do the details of fire control, how can he become a real alchemist?"

"You have time to prepare for half a pillar of incense, and as soon as the time comes, you will start the assessment immediately. ”

With a wave of his hand, Liu Guang looked displeased.

How he didn't know what these people thought.

The vast majority of alchemy apprentices are lucky and want to test what they are best at.

But a true alchemist pays attention to erudition and miscellaneous records, and must not have any shortcomings.

Fire control is relatively remote, and its role in early alchemy is not the most important, so many alchemists do not specialize in practice.

But because of this, Liu Guang chose this one for assessment, and only in this way can he assess the true refining level of these people.

After a while, the time of half a pillar of incense passed.

"The first one, Lin Yuan, show your fire control ability. ”

Lin Yuan frowned, came to the refining table, and opened the formation pattern on it.

Airplanes!

The mysterious formation pattern bloomed with brilliant light, and under the pervasive pattern, a scorching flame instantly appeared above the refining table.

It's a burst of fire!

There are many types of Danhuo, including array fire, true fire, demon fire, earth fire, sky fire, and so on.

Among them, the array fire, demon fire, earth fire, and heavenly fire all belong to the outer fire, which is obtained after tomorrow, while the true fire is the flame formed by the alchemist's own true qi, which belongs to the internal fire.

However, generally, low-level alchemists, especially alchemist apprentices, have not practiced special exercises and cannot form true fire, and at this time, they will generally use array fire instead.

A true alchemist must be proficient in activating the fire array, and at the same time, be able to use mental power to make various subtle adjustments to the fire, whether it is temperature, form, or others, the more detailed the adjustment, the stronger the ability to control the fire.

In front of everyone's eyes, Lin Yuan began to control the formation pattern and control the flames.

I saw that the flame was under his control, slowly changing its image, rising nearly a foot high for a while, and shrinking to the size of a fist for a while, scorching waves, and the temperature was pressing.

"That's your ability to control fire?"

Seeing this, Liu Guang snorted coldly: "Controlling the size of the flame is just the most elementary ability, you divide the flame in front of you into three, in the shape of a ladder, and show it to us." ”

Lin Yuan's face was bitter, he gritted his teeth, and even urged his spiritual power, and the flames in front of him suddenly slowly separated.

Controlling the flames requires a lot of mental power, and the control of mental power is also a great test, and after only a few moments of effort, he is already tired and sweating.

Under his control, the flames in front of him trembled, and when he saw that he was about to succeed, suddenly with a pop, the flames were extinguished instantly.

"Me"

Looking at the extinguished flames in front of him, Lin Yuan wanted to cry without tears.

He was concentrating on controlling the flames just now, and he was unable to use his spiritual power to control the formation, and as soon as he relaxed slightly, the formation lost control and immediately became invalid.

"I can't even do the most basic fire control, so I came to take the alchemist exam?"

Liu Guang snorted coldly.

On the surface, fire control tests the alchemist's ability to control flames, but what actually tests the meticulousness of the alchemist's spiritual power.

When refining the elixir, an alchemist must not only control the formation, but also control the flames, but also control the timing and amount of medicinal materials to be added, as well as the heat of the fusion of the elixir in the Dan furnace.

This is a very complicated and cumbersome process, the ability to control spiritual power is extremely high, Lin Yuan can't even do the most basic fire control, even if he can refine the pill, it is only opportunistic, and he can't be regarded as a real alchemist.

"You go down, the second round of assessment, fail. Next, Sun Yuan!"

Lin Yuan's face was depressed, but he didn't dare to say a word, he just stepped aside, depressed.

Master Liu Guang's question is too difficult, the average alchemy apprentice, it is enough to be able to control the temperature and shape of the flame, to achieve the flame splitting, but also to form a ladder type, this is simply an impossible task.

When Sun Yuan came to the court, he was also very nervous.

skillfully activated the fire, showed the ability to change the warmth and size of the flame, and then began to divide the flame according to Liu Guang's previous instructions to Lin Yuan.

Sun Yuan's proficiency was obviously stronger than Lin Yuan's, the three flames were quickly separated, but when they formed the shape, they couldn't be completed, and every time the three flames approached, they fused together.

Sun Yuan was sweating profusely and tried nearly ten times, but none of them succeeded.

"You can step back too. ”

Liu Guang's face was gloomy and ugly: "Next, Xu Jing, it's still the same as the above requirements, three flames, in the shape of a ladder!"

Chen Du and Ouyang Cheng watched from the side, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

Master Liu Guang's requirements are too difficult, if this continues, who can pass the assessment?

You must know that when they were admitted to the first-grade alchemist, they might not be able to do this.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid no one will be able to pass this second round of assessment.
