To apply for the lowest level of alchemist exams, the first level is the oral examination.

The topic is about the theoretical knowledge of the properties and efficacy of 10,000 prescribed drugs.

It's not something that can be memorized by rote memorization.

The efficacy of any drug is different in different years, growth environment, photosynthesis, temperature and humidity, and so on.

Without hundreds of years of practice, it is difficult to fully master.

This shows how difficult it is to apply for the alchemist exam.

That's just the most basic first-level alchemist.

This is really too far out of reach for ordinary cultivators.

Comparatively speaking, it was much easier to become an alchemist apprentice.

As long as the talent is okay and is favored by the alchemist, he can immediately register as an alchemist apprentice.

Moreover, after becoming an apprentice, the master is an alchemist, and he must often get free elixirs from the master to improve his strength.

So for many people, an alchemist apprentice is more tempting than an alchemist.

Therefore, the more than 500 people in the hall, at least more than 400 people, were all envious after knowing that Zhang Fan was likely to be the disciple of this old-timer.

This young man's life is too good, right?

Yao Lao said to Zhang Fan: "Let's go to the candidates' lounge to rest first." ”

Zhang Fan nodded, followed Yao Lao, and came to the lounge on the second floor.

This lounge has a table and chairs, a bed and a pillow.

As soon as Yao Lao entered the lounge, he turned on the super watch and called up the pharmacological knowledge to review.

Zhang Fan closed his eyes and cultivated the secret of immortality.

He had asked Yao Lao before if he had a second recipe.

Yao Lao has a deep study of pharmacology, but he is not interested in cultivation and the like.

So there's no second recipe.

Zhang Fan asked Uncle Jiu again.

Uncle Jiu is even less interested in cultivation and the like.

So there's no second recipe either.

It seems that if Zhang Fan wants to get the second minister's life recipe, he still needs to go back to the Changshengmen again in the future.

More than five hours later, the waitress's voice came from outside the door: "Senior Yao, there is still half an hour before the exam starts, I will take you to the examination room first." ”

Yao Lao said: "Hmm. ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and followed the waitress to the examination room.

Zhang Fan then went out and came to the hall.

In the middle of the hall, there is a wall that looks like a lake, blue and clear.

When Yao Lao entered the examination room, the lake on this wall rippled slightly.

Soon, a scene from the exam room appeared on the wall.

At the same time, on another wall next to it, another room appeared.

This is the room where the proctor is located.

For the alchemist exam, the invigilator is not present to proctor.

Instead, in another room, the exam was remotely proctored through surveillance video.

I saw that in the examination room, there were more than a dozen candidates.

Each one of them is four or five hundred years old, five or six hundred years old.

At this time, a holographic projection appeared on the stage.

This projection is only responsible for dictating the questions and allowing the candidates to answer them orally.

He said: "Each candidate will have 100 questions, each with 1 point. If you score 97 or more, you will be considered to have passed the oral exam. ”

When the people in the hall listened, they all smacked their tongues secretly.

Out of 100 questions, you can only get three wrong, this exam is too perverted, right?

But if you think about it, you can understand: these candidates are going to refine medicine for people in the future, and if they are a little more wrong, the medicine they refine may be able to eat the dead. So they certainly can't be too wrong.

At this time, on another screen, everyone could see that three old men, all with white hair, entered the invigilation room.

The three old men were all in good spirits.

Although his beard and hair are all white, he is not a little old.

When everyone saw it, they were in an uproar.

"Look, it's an alchemist!"

"Three alchemists!"

"I'm going, many people have never seen an alchemist in their lives, but I actually saw three today!"

"And the most important thing is that the alchemist in the middle, surnamed He, is a second-level alchemist!"

"That's right, as far as I know, there are more than a hundred first-level alchemists in the ninth branch, but there are only three second-level alchemists. One of them had fallen in the last year, and the other was the president and didn't show up much. Therefore, this He Shi is probably the only second-level alchemist we can see in our lives. ”

At this, the crowd became excited.

At this time, someone suddenly poured cold water on everyone.

"It's just on the screen, it's no different from what other people see on the screen. Actually, you still haven't seen the alchemist himself. I haven't seen any of them. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately deflated.

After being happy for a long time, Bai was happy.

Half an hour later, the exam began.

I saw that in the examination room, the holographic projection began to verbally ask questions, allowing the first candidate to answer.

He writes questions very quickly, and he only gives candidates five seconds to think about each question.

In other words, the candidate has to answer it almost without thinking.

This requires an extremely solid grasp of the basics.

Soon, the first candidate had already made four mistakes by the time he answered the twentieth question.

The holographic projection said: "I didn't pass the exam, please work hard to prepare for the exam, and come back next time." ”

The old man sighed, shook his head, and walked out of the examination room.

Then, five more people failed to pass the exam.

Everyone at the scene secretly smacked their tongues.

There are only ten people in total, and six of them have already hung up, so the passing rate of this alchemist exam is too small, right?

The seventh person to take the exam was none other than Yao Lao.

Yao Lao answered the first 30 questions very quickly, and all of them were correct.

But then, I made two mistakes in a row.

When it came to question 58, it was wrong again.

Zhang Fan's heart couldn't help but rise.

After all, if you make another mistake, you won't be able to become an alchemist apprentice.

And now you can't be wrong, then the psychological pressure you face must be great.

The greater the psychological stress, the more likely it is that mistakes will be made.

But fortunately, Yao Lao withstood the pressure and answered all the questions.

In the end, with a score of 97 points, he just passed the oral exam.

Everyone secretly rejoiced for the old man.

Of the next three, two more were eliminated.

In other words, only two of the ten people who took the exam passed the oral exam.

Then it's a hands-on trial.

The so-called hand test is to refine a first-grade elixir.

As long as it is successful, regardless of the quality, it is considered to be passed.

On the big screen, Yao Lao and another candidate took out the medicinal materials they had prepared.

Detected by the on-site detector, after there is no problem, it is placed on the desktop in front of them.

Yao Lao and the examinee both took out their respective medicine refining instruments.

All kinds of test tubes, beakers, medicine pods and the like were put up.

Later, when the holographic influence of the scene said "the exam begins", both of them got busy.
