Cohen was stunned, he didn't know why Xiao Yi stopped his operation, obviously the remaining time was still more than half of the quarter-hour deadline.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I see that you are going to add the green beard vine and then separate and extract, and then follow this routine, you will try to compress the density of the liquid with hot and cold alternately in the next time limit until the end, right?"

Xiao Yi's tone was not strong but revealed a determined attitude, Cohen was also shocked in his heart after hearing it, and suddenly his previous contempt for Xiao Yi had been completely put away, because the next steps in his heart were just as Xiao Yi said, exactly the same!

A person who can completely see through his own thoughts and ideas, either an acquaintance who knows his habits very well, or a senior master who is a lot ahead of him in terms of skills and knowledge, and Xiao Yi is obviously not the former.

Nodding with a serious expression, Cohen didn't know what Xiao Yi's purpose was in asking like this!

"So in the first test, you wrote all five refining and purification methods, and your answer should have been written 'osmosis, precipitation separation, hot and cold compression, transformation and extraction', right?"

Cohen only continued to nod mechanically in the face of questioning, while Link and Leonard, who were sitting on the judging table, reacted much more, because the students probably thought that several of them had already skimmed through their test papers as examiners, but they knew that the three of them had never touched the students' answers from the beginning to the end of the test.

So Link beckoned the staff next to him to come over and instructed him to bring all the answers just now to him, obviously to verify Xiao Yi's statement.

After a while, the test paper was brought in, and there were less than thirty students from the academy who participated in the test, Cohen's answer sheet was easily rummaged through, and he quickly focused his eyes on the correct position, and what was written on it was still exactly the same as Xiao Yi's speculation.

This made Link a little uneasy, although he had heard of Xiao Yi's power, but after all, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, but with a little sign he could deduce the past and possible scenarios in the future, which was really a powerful ability for an alchemist who took exploring the unknown as his mission.

"Alright, I see! No need to go any further, your test is over! Next, Lonnie prepares!"

Xiao Yi turned his head and said something to Link as he spoke, but at this time, Cohen on the other side did not retreat as he said.

"Wait a minute, you haven't said the results of the test yet!"

"The results will not be available until everyone has participated in the test, so please wait patiently until then!" Xiao Yi said very politely, but the other party obviously did not appreciate it.

"No, you just interrupted my operation and didn't let me continue, and now you can't say what's wrong, it's not convincing at all, do you just want to use such means to favor your students!"

"Cohen, don't be rude......" Link said angrily, with the level of these apprentices, he couldn't see why Xiao Yi stopped the test just now, but he understood and agreed with Xiao Yi's actions very well in his heart, but Cohen was a little too uninteresting to hold on to this matter now, and was thinking about how to prevent him from continuing to be embarrassed.

"Do you really want to know what I think?" Xiao Yi asked rhetorically.

Cohen thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing, so he continued to look at Xiao Yi with his neck crossed, obviously dissatisfied.

"The reason why I didn't let you continue is actually that you can see that the methods you want to use have all been predicted, and it doesn't matter if you don't continue, right?"

"Okay, what about my performance, what do you think?" Cohen continued to ask.

"If you have to ask me to judge, I can only say that it is not good!"

"What!"

"Just because you choose a very inefficient purification method, and strictly speaking, this method can no longer be regarded as purification, the use of hot and cold alternation to compress the dosage only reduces the volume and dosage, but does not make the active ingredients more active and effective.

That's why I'm able to conclude that the answer you answered in the first test should have taken this old and outdated method into account.

Compared to the other four options, the only advantage of hot and cold compression may be that it is extremely simple to use, and the reason why you choose this method is probably because you want to be as stable as possible because of the importance of testing.

But have you heard the requirements in my question, 'purify and concentrate it as much as possible', the key to the answer is twofold, the first is to choose the most efficient method, and the other is whether you can control the relevant operations, as for whether there will be mistakes in the middle of the process, it is definitely not a priority that you should prioritize!

So all I can say is that you got this question wrong!"

"But that's what the textbook says! That's what the teacher gave me!" Cohen knew that Xiao Yi had a point, but he still tried to argue to save the situation.

"That only proves that your teacher's level is not good, this kind of old-fashioned old information is not applicable to reality at all, alchemy is developing every day, new techniques and formulas are the key to learning and mastering, always guarding a bunch of knowledge that can only exist in books, you can't be regarded as a real alchemist at all.

And if the method and knowledge that the teacher tells you are found to be unworkable, do you still have to keep going? The hungry wolf will not stop attacking you just because the teacher says it is docile, and the flame will not burn your skin because the teacher tells you that it is cold, and what are you doing with your brain if you don't verify what you have learned according to the facts!

I don't know what you two think about this issue!"

As soon as he mentioned professional matters, Xiao Yi's momentum immediately became different, and Link and Leonard next to him also nodded frequently, even if there were differences of opinion, they were heroes in academics.

At their level, they will never be superstitious about any artificial doctrines, and their rich practical experience tells them that only what has been verified by themselves is the truth!

Seeing that the opinions of all the examiners were very unanimous, Cohen could only step aside in frustration, while the other apprentices were even more nervous when they saw this, but they were also glad that they were not the first to be pointed, at least Cohen's failure experience gave them a rough sense of the general purpose and direction of this round of exams, and they were more confident about their next performance!

"Lonnie!"

The second is a representative of the academy, so it was Link's turn to come up with the question.

"Prepare as many dual-attribute magic defense potions as possible within a quarter of an hour, one of which must be a dark element, remember that I only want the finished product!"
