A few days later at noon.

Ling Jiuqiu returned to Tongyuan City.

After putting his luggage back in the academy dormitory, he came to the Alchemist Association non-stop.

He had specifically understood before that if he wanted to refine the pill for sale, he first needed to obtain the official alchemist certificate, otherwise, even if he had the ability to refine all kinds of magical pills, there would be no way to sell them.

After all, pills are generally expensive, and they are eaten in the stomach, but no one dares to be careless.

Therefore, only after the Alchemist Association has obtained the alchemist certificate can it be qualified to gain the trust of others, and the refined pills can find cooperative channels for sale.

Moreover, if it is an individual alchemist, even if there is an alchemist certificate, every pill refined must also be certified by the sales channel to prevent indiscriminate filling and harming others with inferior pills.

Ling Jiuqiu's plan was to first obtain the official alchemist certificate, and then find a certain trading house to cooperate with and regularly refine the pills for sale.

Found the counter for registration and assessment in the hall on the first floor, and after registering, Ling Jiuqiu just waited for a while, and then officially started the assessment of the alchemist.

The assessment content of the first-order alchemist is very simple, and he only needs to refine all the materials of the five vitality pills within the specified time.

Finally, according to the quantity and quality of the finished product, the assessment is evaluated, and if the comprehensive evaluation meets the requirements, the assessment is passed.

There is no limit to the number of assessments.

Anyway, every assessment requires a lot of material money and assessment fees, even if anyone wants to take the assessment dozens or hundreds of times in a row, the Alchemist Association will gladly accept it.

……

An ordinary alchemy room.

Ling Jiuqiu sat cross-legged in front of the Dan Furnace, and the flames in his hands were raging, spreading under the base of the Dan Furnace, completely covering it.

The scorching heat radiates in all directions.

Beside him, two assessors from the Alchemist Association carefully observed his alchemy process.

It is both an overseer and a record.

As professional assessors of the Alchemist Association, although they have not awakened the fire element martial soul and cannot become alchemists, they know no less about the theoretical knowledge of alchemy than real alchemists.

Especially after seeing a lot of junior alchemist assessments, just from some of the opponent's basic techniques and the control of flames, you can roughly see a person's level, and speculate whether the other party can finally pass the assessment.

In their opinion, Ling Jiuqiu's movements were skillful, the flames were controlled freely, and his expression was indifferent, and he was obviously quite proficient in refining the Vitality Pill.

"It seems that the assessment is basically fine."

The two assessors glanced at each other, and they both saw such thoughts in each other's eyes.

More than an hour later.

The five alchemy of Jiuqiu ended.

Among them, three furnaces were successfully refined, two furnaces failed, and the final product was a total of 30 first-order vitality pills.

The examiner took three bottles of freshly baked pills, took Ling Jiuqiu to the testing office, and after testing the quality of the pills, it was determined that Ling Jiuqiu passed the assessment.

What is more friendly is that the elixir refined in the assessment, if you don't need it, can also sell it to the Alchemist Association at the normal market price.

Ling Jiuqiu didn't need the Vitality Pill at all at this time, so he simply sold all of them, so that this assessment was equivalent to not only not spending money, but also earning dozens of taels of silver.

"Congratulations, from today onwards, you have become an official first-order alchemist!"

A steward of the Alchemist Association personally awarded Ling Jiuqiu the Order of the First Order Alchemist, issued a set of exclusive alchemist uniforms, and said a bunch of congratulatory words.

After Ling Jiuqiu dealt with a few words, he said goodbye and left.

Next, he needs to find a suitable sales channel to cooperate, otherwise, it will be impossible to set up a stall on the street while refining himself.

Even if he can pull his face, no one dares to buy pills on irregular occasions.

So, Ling Jiuqiu put on the Alchemist Medal and came to a large trading house in Tongyuan City.

The name of this firm is Chizuru Firm, and its scale and reputation are also among the best in the entire Tongyuan City, and the location is also quite good.

When Ling Jiuqiu walked into the trading house, there were dozens of customers scattered in different corners in the hall, each selecting goods, and more than a dozen shopkeepers greeted enthusiastically on the side.

A shopkeeper came over warmly to entertain him.

"This son, do you need anything?"

Ling Jiuqiu waved his hand casually and said, "I am a first-order alchemist, and I want to talk to your shopkeeper about cooperation." ”

"Okay, Master Alchemist, please wait a moment!"

The shopkeeper smiled humbly.

Those who can become alchemists are first of all powerful martial artists in the Spirit Sea Realm, and the profession of alchemist is already quite rare and noble, so for ordinary people like him, every alchemist is a big man on the top.

Even if the young man in front of him looked relatively immature, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly went to the inner hall to report to the shopkeeper.

……

The inner hall of the trading house at this time.

A tall, thin middle-aged man was carefully looking at a thick account book in his hand, his face was neither happy nor sad.

After a long time, he put down the account book in his hand and said indifferently:

"The overall business situation has been good recently, but the acquisition of the elixir spirit grass is not ideal, not only the quantity is less than two percent, but the profit margin is also about one percent lower than expected."

Beside him, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a slightly round figure stood respectfully, always with a sycophantic smile on his face.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the brocade robe stiffened, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

Non-standard materials such as spirit grass, no matter which commercial bank, its profit proportion is not small, coupled with the flexible purchase price, and the authority of the shopkeeper is relatively large, so the phenomenon of embezzlement is quite common in major commercial houses.

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe is the shopkeeper of the Thousand Crane Trading Company, and behind the Thousand Crane Trading House is the True Dragon Gang, one of the six top gangs in the Liancang Domain.

The person who spoke was none other than one of the directors of the True Dragon Gang who was responsible for managing the industry in Tongyuan City, equivalent to a middle-aged direct superior in a brocade robe.

At this time, when these words came out, it seemed that he was accusing the middle-aged Jinpao of being greedy, which made him feel great pressure.

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe explained a little nervously:

"Director Chen, I don't know why these days, there are fewer individual customers who come to sell the spirit grass than usual, and several other relatively large commercial houses are buying them at a higher price, and I can only raise the price, otherwise I will receive less spirit grass."

"It is precisely because of the increase in the purchase price that the profit margin has decreased."

Director Chen raised his head, glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Spirit grass is the bulk of the profit of the firm, in addition to the regular picking of the medicine team in the gang, the proportion of spirit grass purchased from individual customers is also quite large, remember not to be negligent in this regard." ”

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe nodded again and again: "Yes!" Obey the orders of Chief Chen! ”

That's when it happened.

There was a knock on the door, and then the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, an alchemist has come to discuss cooperation, and he is currently waiting in the hall."
