Deep into the forest, the trees are tall and lush, and the light is getting darker and darker.

"That's it."

Suddenly stopped, Li Yuan looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said lightly to Guan Tian.

Guan Tian's old face did not have any expression, just a slight bow.

Li Yuan and the three turned around and looked at Duan Libo and the others who came over.

Duan Libo's footsteps, at this time, paused slightly, and he was slightly surprised that Li Yuan and the three of them found them.

They felt that with the cultivation of Li Yuan and the others, it was impossible to discover their whereabouts.

Duan Libo and Xue Han continued to walk towards Li Yuan and them, stopping when they were still more than twenty paces away.

Duan Libo, who had an indifferent gaze, said in an extremely cold voice: "I didn't expect that it has only been less than two years, and you have broken through to such a level of cultivation. The cultivation speed of the dragon bone is really amazing. Presumably, the level of the Yuan Bone in this little girl's body is not weaker than that of the Dragon Bone. ”

"Thanks to the two patriarchs, we didn't disappoint you." Li Yuan's gaze was intertwined with Duan Libo's and Xue Han's, and he immediately said, "Although our cultivation is improving quickly, the day we step into the Yuan Dan realm, I don't know if we can see the two of you, after all, there are not many longevity left." ”

Hearing this, Duan Libo's faces sank, and these words angered them.

"Looks like you know a lot. That's it, now what kind of bones do you have, let's stop here. Elder Xue, do it. Duan Libo said sharply.

Seeing that Li Yuan was not afraid, in order to prevent more variables, Duan Libo was obviously not interested in how Li Yuan knew their identities at the moment, so he killed them directly.

Two long swords appeared in the hands of Duan Libo and Xue Han out of thin air, and then shot at Li Yuan and the others at the same time.

At the moment when he wielded the long sword, suddenly, a powerful cultivation force directly imprisoned Duan Libo and the others, unable to move for half a minute.

The two froze there, as quiet as dead men, unable to even move their eyes.

Li Yuan was expressionless, and said indifferently: "Brother Guan, kill it directly." ”

Guan Tian nodded, glanced at Duan Libo and the others who were more than twenty steps away in front of him, and suddenly, the latter's body began to collapse.

A moment later, Duan Libo and Xue Han's bodies split into countless pieces and a pool of blood.

Li Yuan glanced at the blood on the ground, and then raised his palm slightly, absorbing the two Yun rings and two long swords in his hand.

didn't look at it much, he directly put away the ring, and the two long swords were included in his ring.

At this moment, Li Yunqing looked at the blood on the ground in front of him and was extremely shocked.

Duan Libo and Xue Han were both in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, how could they be so vulnerable in front of Guan Tian.

Guan Tian's strength is too strong now.

Li Yuan looked at Li Yunqing, who was stunned, touched her head, and said in a low voice, "Little aunt, we should go." After living in the mountains for more than half a year, I can finally take a good shower and sleep soundly tonight. Welcome to the new day full of energy. ”

"Aren't we going to Qingzhai City today?" Li Yunqing, who came back to his senses, asked softly.

Li Yuan, who had already walked away, raised his hands high, was in a good mood, and shouted loudly: "Don't be in a hurry for this day and half a day." I'll go back tomorrow, what are you still doing there, let's go. ”

Hearing this, Li Yunqing strode to follow, deliberately bypassing the blood on the ground, and Guan Tian also followed.

………

On the second day, the sunshine seemed to be much milder than yesterday, and Li Yuan and the others came out of the inn until noon.

As soon as he walked to the door of the inn, Li Yuan turned back again.

Ask the innkeeper if you can ride the Winged Bird and the Snow Cloud Eagle in the town, but no, but there is a place to rent animal carts.

According to the route told by the innkeeper, Li Yuan and the others quickly found a place to rent a beast cart.

Li Yuan and Li Yunqing had never driven a beast cart before, so this matter had to be done by the old man Guan Tian in the end.

Driving the beast cart, he didn't stop all the way, and rushed to Qingzhai City before dark.

Qingzhai City is the sixth largest city in Yuanzhou, which is smaller than Yangyan City, and there are 20 million people living in the city.

The base camp of the garrison defending the city is not in Qingzhai City, but a small city thirty miles east of the city.

There are three major families in Qingzhai City, that is, the Zhai family, the Wei family, and the Shi family, who robbed the Danjing grass before.

The Zhai family is the strongest and is the oldest family in Qingzhai City, and it has always existed since the beginning of the establishment of Qingzhai City.

The strength of the Wei and Shi families is equal, and they are slightly weaker than the Zhai family.

A few years ago, Zhai Shiqing, the patriarch of the Zhai family, was seriously ill and had not appeared in front of people for a long time.

Therefore, the strength of the Zhai family has declined in recent years, and now in Qingzhai City, the three major families have a three-legged trend.

Entering the city and returning the beast cart, it was already completely dark.

The lights are on, and the lights are bright.

Li Yuan decided to go to Zhai's house early tomorrow morning in exchange for Xuanwang ginseng.

………

Early the next morning.

Guan Tian took Li Yuan and the two to Zhai's house.

He knows the location of the Zhai family very well, and it can be said that he knows it better than the Zhai family itself.

He had been there many times before for Xuanwang ginseng.

As soon as I entered the street where the Zhai family's compound was located, I felt the momentum of the Zhai family's mansion, which made people admire, worthy of being the first family in Qingzhai.

Before they reached the gate of Zhai's house, they were attracted by the noise coming from the door.

Getting closer, I took a closer look, and many of them were alchemists wearing the uniform uniforms of the Alchemist Guild.

The robe is mainly dark brown with dark green lines, and the collar and sleeves are decorated with gold patterns.

He also wore a dark green furnace-shaped badge on his chest, and the furnace ding's badge had a fire pattern lingering, and the rank of the alchemist could be seen from the number of fire patterns.

Judging from the number of fire emblems on the badges worn by these alchemists, they were all true rank alchemists.

Even true rank alchemists, they were treated with the respect they deserved.

An alchemist who has reached this level, which one is not one out of a hundred.

With so many alchemists gathered at the door of Zhai's house, Li Yuan and the three of them were a little puzzled.

Li Yuan saw a pedestrian not far away, looking at the group of True Rank Alchemists with envy and awe.

Although this person was not wearing the same robe, it could be seen from the badge on his chest that he was a mortal-level alchemist.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan stepped forward to talk to the mortal-level alchemist to get a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

In recent years, Zhai Shiqing, the patriarch of the Zhai family, has been looking for an alchemist to see a doctor, but he has not seen any improvement, and the Zhai family has gradually given up.

More than half a year ago, Zhai Shixuan, the great elder of the Zhai family, took a small number of family members and recruited more than 300 temporary mercenaries to go to the Qingzhai Mountain Range.

After that, only Zhai Shixuan, the eldest elder of the Zhai family, Zhai Tao, the young patriarch of the Zhai family, and the two elders came back.

Soon after his return, several elders declared that they were in retreat.

From then on, the Zhai family began to invite alchemists from all walks of life to see Zhai Shiqing.

At the beginning, as long as the mortal-level alchemist passed the review of the Zhai family, he could also see a doctor for Zhai Shiqing.

Two days ago, the Zhai family suddenly announced that only alchemists of the true rank and above could see Zhai Shiqing after passing the Zhai family's review.

As long as it is an alchemist after review, regardless of whether or not Zhai Shiqing can be healed, he can receive a reward of 1,000 medium-grade yuan stones.

Therefore, now only alchemists of the true rank and above can enter the Zhai family's compound.

If Zhai Shiqing's illness is cured, the Zhai family will pay a reward of 1,000 high-grade yuan stones.

Thousands of high-grade yuan stones are just a small reward, and the Zhai family will give a high-grade treasure to them.

Top-grade Zongbao, unless it is a particularly unpopular ingot, the commonly used value is thousands of high-grade yuanshi.

Not only does the Zhai family have a top-grade Zongbao, but the Zhai family also worships him as an elder of Keqing, and gives him thousands of high-grade Yuan Stones every year.

Zhai Shiqing's own granddaughter Zhai Yuehua personally promised that if anyone could cure his grandfather's illness, no matter who it was, no matter how old she was, no matter how many wives and concubines she had, she would make a promise or be a slave.

The grandson-in-law of the patriarch of the largest family in Qingzhai City, for many people, is a carp jumping over the dragon gate and soaring into the sky.

If you can't be an alchemist for your grandson-in-law, take her by your side and be a servant, which is also a very face-saving thing.

Zhai Yuehua is very famous in Qingzhai City, and has the reputation of the first beauty in Qingzhai City.

And the cultivation talent is quite good, now it is only one in thirty, and the cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of the Void Realm. At this rate, it is expected to advance to the late stage of the Void Realm before the age of thirty-five.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Li Yuan originally wanted to exchange Danjing Grass for Xuanwang Ginseng, but it seemed that there was little hope.

"Li Yuan, what should I do now, it's not that the alchemist can't even enter the gate. Otherwise, we will rush straight in, and I will see which of them dares to stop us. Guan Tian's gaze stayed at the gate of the Zhai family for a long time, and his tone was solemn.

"Brother Guan, we are asking for Xuanwang ginseng, not robbing. What if they destroy Xuanwang ginseng? Li Yun glanced at Guan Tian innocently, and said angrily, "I don't know why the Zhai family didn't continue to see Zhai Shiqing before, why did it suddenly start again." ”

A slight embarrassed smile appeared on Guan Tian's old face, and he said, "It's me who is reckless." This Zhai Shiqing has the cultivation of the peak of the middle stage of the Yuan Dan Realm. Now I'm sick, isn't that the same as before I came, a waste?

"You see, it's only been a few years, and the Zhai family is just like the other two. If Zhai Shiqing accidentally died. The Zhai family really lost the name of the first family in Qingzhai City. ”

Li Yuanhan said with a smile: "Brother Guan, it is worthy of living in the army for a long time and leading troops to fight all year round. In two sentences, the situation is clearly analyzed. Looks like I'm going to have to get an alchemist. ”

He inquired about the location of the Alchemist Guild from the previous mortal-level alchemist, and when he left, he gave the alchemist a medium-grade Yuan Stone to express his gratitude.

It was very difficult for a low-level alchemist to start out, and he had to refine a large number of pills to improve his level.

Refining the elixir requires a lot of materials, and the cost is not small. So Li Yuan gave him a medium-grade Yuan stone, hoping to help him a little.

According to what the man said, the Alchemist Guild was not far from the Zhai family.

Li Yuan looked up at the sky and decided to go to the alchemist exam first, and Li Yunqing and Guan Tian also left from outside the gate of Zhai's house.

Guan Tian followed behind and said anxiously: "Li Yuan, are you going to take the alchemist exam?" It's not good to dig a well when you're thirsty. They need a True Rank Alchemist. ”

Although he is not an alchemist, the class of the alchemist still knows.

Li Yuan held his head in his hands, walked down the street gracefully, and said casually: "Then take the exam for a true level alchemist." ”

"True Rank Alchemist?" Guan Tian touched his beard, looked at Li Yunqing beside him, and pointed to Li Yuan's back, "Sister Yunqing, is Li Yuan confused?" We've had a pretty easy time here, and he hasn't been tired. ”

Li Yunqing smiled and said softly, "Is it difficult for a true rank alchemist?" Don't worry, it's nothing to Xiao Yuanzi. ”

After speaking, she sped up and caught up with Li Yuan.

Looking at the backs of the two young people, Guan Tian shook his head, a little puzzled, and said to himself: "Are you confused? ”

After walking for about half an hour, I turned several corners and crossed several streets before I came to a majestic building.

Looking up at the building, Li Yuan slowly stopped, touched his chin, and said, "This should be the place." ”

In front of this extremely majestic building, a furnace device more than 20 zhang high is erected.

Li Yuan and the others passed under the furnace ding, and their eyes stayed on the plaque under the building.

The red wooden plaque, shining faintly in the sunlight, had a few quaint big characters written on it, Qingzhai City Alchemist Guild.

Li Yuan looked around, there were still a lot of people going to the Alchemist Guild, and muttered, "Are they all alchemists?" ”

"Let's go, let's go in." After staying for a moment, Li Yuan didn't think much about it.

The three of them followed the flow of people into the hall of the Alchemist Guild.

The hall is very spacious, but the inside is not at all as imposing as it looks from the outside.

In fact, this hall is now the equivalent of a trading market, and people are used to calling this place a trading floor.

There were a lot of people in the hall of the Alchemist Guild, and it was very noisy, all of them were trading pills and materials, as well as buying and selling prescriptions, just like an ordinary market.

Li Yuan casually found someone, inquired about the real place of the assessment of the alchemist, and also had a good understanding of the assessment of the alchemist.

The alchemist assessment in Qingzhai City is held once every half month, and today is the day when the alchemist assessment is held, so there are so many people in the trading hall.

The place where the alchemist is assessed is in the innermost part of the hall.

Walking to the door of the alchemist assessment office, Li Yuan and the three of them were stopped by two guards at the door.

The guard on the right said politely: "This is the important place for the assessment of alchemists, and idlers are not allowed to enter." Are the three of them here to assess the alchemists? ”

Li Yuan arched his hand to the guard, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that I am assessing the alchemist, and the two of them came with me." ”

"Oh, you came to the Kao Fan Rank Alchemist at such a young age? Is there an alchemist apprenticeship certificate? Or a letter of introduction from your teacher. The guard asked.

Hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned, he didn't know what alchemist apprentice certificate and letter of introduction was.

Li Yunqing, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked softly, "He is taking the test for a true level alchemist, maybe he wants these things?" ”

Hearing this, the two guards suddenly became happy, and the guard on the right quipped, "We have never seen such a young person come to the True Rank Alchemist exam. ”

Suddenly, the guard's face flashed with a hint of anger, and he whispered, "If you're here to make trouble, then don't blame us for being rude." ”

Li Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Two big brothers, I'm really sorry. We didn't understand the process. Can you tell us about that? ”

Only then did the expressions of the two guards soften a little, and they were silent for a moment, explaining the assessment process of alchemists to Li Yuan and the others.

To assess the conditions for an alchemist at all levels, it is necessary to provide an alchemist apprentice certificate, also known as an apprenticeship certificate.

If you don't have an apprenticeship certificate, you can have a letter of introduction from your own teacher, and the teacher must be a registered Condensing Rank Alchemist.

The apprenticeship certificate assessment is not here, but on the other side of the hall.

The assessment is divided into two kinds, one is the cognitive material, and the materials are all from the materials on the "Medicine Recognition Chapter" in the scroll before Ji Zhenyi.

The other is to refine the gas refining liquid.

Most people take the apprenticeship certificate and choose to refine gas and liquid, which is relatively easy, but it is extremely difficult to choose the identification materials.

There are more than 10,000 kinds of materials on the "Medicine Recognition Chapter", and 100 kinds of materials must be identified continuously within three quarters, and 90 kinds of materials must be recognized as passing the assessment.

As long as you have an apprenticeship certificate and a letter of introduction from your teacher, you can be assessed as a mortal-level alchemist.

If you want to be a true level alchemist, you must be a mortal-level alchemist registered with the Alchemist Guild.

Li Yuan and the three of them followed the direction pointed by the guards and went to the place where the apprenticeship certificate was assessed.

There were no guards there, Li Yuan and the three of them entered through the door, and according to the instructions, they walked along the long corridor on the left for a while, and then came to the assessment hall.

The assessment hall is very large, the length and width are more than 30 zhang, and all around are all material cabinets as high as three or four zhang, and if you want to take out the materials from the top, you must use a long ladder.

There are many waiters and maids dressed in uniform robes, who are constantly taking out materials from the material cabinet.

These people should all be from the Alchemist Guild.

The style of the robe on his body is similar to that of the alchemist's robe, but the fabric is much worse.

There is a small plaque in the innermost part of the hall that says where to pick up materials, and there are quite a few people queuing up to receive them.

The center of the hall is divided into two areas, one side occupies 40% of the hall, and hundreds of long tables are neatly placed.

On each long table, there is a small furnace with a size of one foot, which should be a furnace of the lower grade mortal treasure level.

There are quite a few people who are refining gas refining liquid.

From time to time, there was a sound of complaining, coming from the area where the gas refining liquid was refined, it should be someone who failed to refine it.

Although there are many people who participate in the assessment, the pass rate is not high.

On the other side of the center of the hall is the rest and waiting area, which is full of people at the moment.

There is also a small area at the front, which is the test area for identifying materials.

Li Yunqing and Guan Tian were in the waiting area, and they casually found a place to sit down and rest, while Li Yuan went to the assessment area for identifying materials.

There was no one in the assessment area to identify the materials, and in such a noisy environment, the assessment maid was sleeping soundly on the table.

Li Yuan knocked on the table with his backhand and asked very politely: "Excuse me, identify the materials, is it here for assessment?" ”

The maid was awakened, rubbed her hazy eyes, and replied casually, "Yes." ”

"Give me a name, I want to identify the materials and test the apprenticeship certificate." Li Yuandao.

"Okay." The maid nodded, and the next moment, she seemed to think of something, quickly raised her head, and looked at Li Yuan with a strange gaze, "You said that you want to sign up to identify the materials." ”

At this moment, Li Yuan was a little annoyed, the Yuan Force in his body gushed out, and the strong Yuan Force fluctuations produced coercion, making the maids who were only in the early stage of the Yuan Force Realm a little out of breath.

"I'm going to test the identification materials, you understand." Li Yuan put away the coercion, lowered his voice as much as possible, and said to the maid.

The hot beads of sweat on the maid's forehead kept pouring out, and she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so she quickly registered for Li Yuan, and then opened an energy light curtain and invited Li Yuan to do the assessment of the identification materials.

In the apprenticeship certificate assessment hall, there will basically be no Yuan who cultivates in the virtual realm, and the Yuan who comes here to assess the cultivation of the Yuan is generally in the Qi Refining Realm and the Yuan Force Realm.

The fluctuating coercion of the Yuan Force exuded by Li Yuan made the maid understand that this handsome young man was too much higher than her at the moment.

At this time, the pictures of alchemy materials kept appearing on the energy light curtain, and Li Yuan flashed by.

The materials that appear above are all from Ji Zhenyi's scroll "Medicine Recognition Chapter".

"Knowing Medicine" includes more than 10,000 kinds of materials from the first level to the fourth level of materials.

If you want to pass the assessment of identifying materials, you need to write down more than 10,000 kinds of materials, which is a huge project, and it is much more difficult than refining gas refining liquid.

Li Yuan had already mastered all the materials on the "Medicine Literacy Chapter" in his mind, including thousands of prescriptions.

Since there is no meta to participate in the assessment of identification materials, there is no need to queue up for identification materials, which saves a lot of time.

Before the maid could fully recover from the fear just now, Li Yuan had already identified a hundred kinds of materials, and there was no mistake.

The maid released a gaze like a monster and looked at Li Yuan.

Suddenly, her gaze collided with Li Yuan's fierce gaze, and she reacted and immediately checked the registration of Li Yuan's identification materials.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took out a palm-sized animal skin, wrote some simple information on it, and finally stamped the unique mark of the Alchemist Guild on the animal skin.

"Congratulations, my lord, you have passed the examination, this is your apprenticeship certificate. With this certificate, you can go to the mortal-level alchemist to assess. The maid smiled and respectfully handed the animal skin to Li Yuan.

Generally speaking, if you pass the apprenticeship assessment, you can't be considered a real alchemist.

can only refine qi refining liquid, and some beginner Fan Dan can also try, barely half an alchemist.

With the certificate, you can enter the force that recruits alchemist apprentices and get a good income.

Compared with other yuan, not only does he have an extra income, but he is also more respected and has a noble status, so the maid calls Li Yuanzun an adult.

Li Yuan took the animal skin, nodded politely, and turned around and walked to the rest and waiting area.

The maid looked at the tall background that was gradually moving away, and was a little dazed.

Those who pass the apprenticeship assessment generally show ecstasy, excitement, and excitement, but this one behaves as if he has never participated in the assessment, without any emotional fluctuations.

Looking at Li Yuan who came over, Guan Tian sighed, and then smiled and comforted: "Li Yuan, I haven't taken the test, it doesn't matter, let's find another way to enter the Zhai family."

"Even if you pass the apprentice assessment, you still have to take the mortal-level alchemist exam. After passing the assessment, you can only take the true level alchemist exam, which is too troublesome. ”

Li Yuan glanced left and right, threw the animal skin in his hand to Guan Tian, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's go to the Kao Fan Rank Alchemist now." ”

Guan Tian raised his palm and put the animal skin firmly in his hand.

"I'll just say it, Xiao Yuanzi is a top-level alchemist, and the apprenticeship card is used to go through the motions. Brother Guan, you still don't believe it. Li Yunqing raised his head, said excitedly, and immediately took Li Yuan's arm and walked towards the exit of the hall.

Staring at the animal skin in his palm and taking a closer look, Guan Tian secretly said in disbelief: "It's only a long time to pass, so easy?" ”

After a short time, the three of them came to the entrance of the previous alchemist assessment, and one of the guards said impatiently, "I said why are you here again." Didn't I make it clear to you just now? To get in, either get an apprenticeship or a letter of introduction from a teacher. ”

Li Yuan turned his head sideways and said, "Brother Guan, please give them the documents." ”

Guan Tian nodded, and handed the animal skin in his hand to the guard.

Looking at the animal skin handed over by Guan Tian, the guard carefully checked it, and handed it to the guard next to him, and the two guards observed for a long time before confirming that the document was genuine.

The guard who checked the documents after that, a suspicious look appeared on his face, and he was not sure, so he asked weakly: "Little brother, is this apprenticeship certificate just taken by you?" ”

"What? Is there anything wrong with the documents? Or is it that if you take the apprenticeship certificate today, you can't take the mortal-level alchemist anymore? Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.

The guard said awkwardly, "Yes, there is no problem with your documents, you can go in." But the two of them had to wait outside. ”

Li Yuan said a few words to Li Yunqing and Guan Tian, and then walked into the gate guarded by two guards.

Entering the gate, there is a wide straight corridor, and on both sides of the corridor are placed several furnace devices, which are about the same height as Li Yuan's.

At the end of the wide corridor is the hall for the assessment of alchemists.

The alchemist assessment hall is larger than the previous hall for the assessment of apprenticeship certificates, and the decoration is obviously richer and more ancient.

The windows on the walls around the hall are relatively small, and the light projected from the outside is not enough to illuminate the hall, so the lights around the hall are dim.

Dozens of headlights are erected in the center of the hall, and you can still see the flames dancing in the lampshade, so the central area is very well lit.

There are several pilasters on the walls on both sides, and between the pilasters are carved huge pictures, all of which are precious high-grade materials.

Each pilaster has a mantle sprinkled with water, and the water flows along the sink below the pillars to form a stream that meanders to the pool in the center of the hall.

On each side of the pool are ten quaint long tables, which are very clean and have no objects.

There is a flight of stairs at the innermost part of the hall, about twenty or thirty steps.

At the top of the stairs is a spacious platform with several wooden seats with mortise and tenon structures, which is very atmospheric.

There were more than a dozen people standing in a corner, and from their conversations, it was clear that they were also here to participate in the alchemist assessment.

Except for the concentration of people there, there are not many people in other places in the hall, only a few people scattered around, each quietly doing what they are doing.

These are all alchemists, and the clothes on their bodies are no different from what they see at the gate of the Zhai family.

Although there were nearly thirty people in the hall combined, it was not enough to support the popularity of the spacious hall, and it was a little deserted.

Li Yuan didn't know how to proceed with the next process, and after observing the surrounding environment, he shook his head helplessly, a little difficult.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask someone casually first.

Just as Li Yuan's eyes were scanning around, looking for a target, a woman dressed in an alchemist's robe walked over quickly.

There was only one fire pattern on the badge he wore on his chest, which should be a mortal-level alchemist.

"Hello, this gentleman, are you here to assess the alchemist?"

The woman asked with a smile after looking around at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at the woman, judging from the fluctuations of the Yuan Force and the breath of life emanating from his body, at the beginning of the Void Realm, he was about thirty years old, and he couldn't see if there were Yuan bones in his body.

To be able to accurately see whether a person has a Yuan Bone or not, it usually needs to be two realms higher.

For example, now it is clear whether Li Yuan has a Yuan bone on his body, at least it must be the Nirvana Realm, and it must be the Nirvana Realm Consummation.

If you want to distinguish what kind of yuan bones the Yuan person has, you generally have to be higher than the three realms.

The alchemist's robe was worn on the woman's body, which was slightly wide, but it still couldn't completely cover the delicate figure under the robe.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded politely, and then asked, "Are you from the guild?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Yes." My name is Han Zishu, and Han Xuyang, the president of the Qingzhai City Alchemist Guild, is my grandfather, so I also work in the guild.

"I'm not showing off, the alchemists in Qingzhai City know about it, so I said it in advance, for fear that there would be some misunderstanding later. Even though my grandfather was the guild leader, I wouldn't be taken much care of because of it. ”

"Miss Han is a straightforward person." Li Yuan smiled lightly.

Han Zishu's beautiful eyes swept over Li Yuan again, blinked, and said softly: "I see that Mr. is a few years younger than me."

"Among the younger generation of Qing Zhai City, I basically know everyone who can come here to assess mortal-level alchemists. It's your first time coming to our Qingzhai City Alchemist Guild? ”

Li Yuan's jaw said: "It's indeed the first time I've come here, and today I want to get an alchemist badge. Can you tell me what I'm going to do next? What are the procedures to go through? Is it complicated? ”

"It's not complicated, just make a registration, I'm just about to go over, you come with me." Han Zishu said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, and walked side by side with Han Zishu.

Han Zishu led Li Yuan to a counter at the front of the hall.

"Sister Su, this gentleman is here to take the alchemist exam, please help register." Han Zishu said to a woman who was also wearing an alchemist's robe inside the counter.

The woman, who was called Sister Su by Han Zishu, looked at Li Yuan a few times with her eyes, and quipped: "Yo, Zishu will personally guide you today."

"This little gentleman is very good-looking, handsome and dignified, and graceful. It's just that I look at some eyes, how do you know each other, or you have been hiding it from us. How? I'm afraid that my sister won't be able to rob you. ”

When Han Zishu heard this, his little face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and hurriedly said, "Sister Su, what are you talking about." We just met at the door. I don't even know his name. ”

Li Yuan, who was on the side, touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's boring. Okay, no more teasing you. The woman shrugged her shoulders, pursed her mouth, and then looked at Li Yuan with a smile, "Little sir, what's your name?" How old is it? Who are you, your teacher? Show me a letter of introduction. ”

Li Yuan replied with a smile: "Li Yuan, twenty-six years old. ”

He paused, shrugged helplessly, and continued, "Sister Su, I don't have a teacher, so I don't have a letter of introduction. However, I just got an apprenticeship over there. This one is fine. ”

Li Yuan followed Han Zishu to call the woman Sister Su, and at the same time put the animal skin certificate on the counter.

Hearing this, Han Zishu and Sister Su were obviously stunned at the same time.

Sister Su picked up the certificate that Li Yuan put on the counter and looked at it carefully.

There is no problem with the certificate, it is indeed just received, she immediately coughed dryly, and said, "The certificate can participate in the alchemist assessment." You don't even have a teacher, and you can pass the apprenticeship assessment. I really don't know if it's your luck, or if you're really talented in alchemy. ”

Sister Su said as she registered in a quaint book.

"Li Yuan, do you really have no teacher? My grandfather was a condensation-level alchemist. Why don't you learn alchemy with my grandfather? Let him be your teacher. Han Zishu said a little excitedly.

While registering, Sister Su half-jokingly said, "You let him follow your grandfather and be your grandfather's disciple." So what should you call him? Is it the name, or is it the uncle? ”

"Sister Su, I'm serious, okay." Han Zishu stomped his foot.

"Okay, I'm kidding you. The assessment is about to start, and when the exam is over, you can discuss it with him. Sister Su raised Su's hand.

"Li Yuan, the assessment will start immediately. There are ordinary inferior mortal treasure furnaces over there, register them, and someone will put them on the long table for your assessment. Of course, you have a better stove and can also use your own. Sister Su looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at the furnace tripod placed next to him, which was stronger than the furnace tripod he used to refine gas and liquid before, and that's it.

"I'll just use myself." Li Yuan's gaze withdrew from those furnace dings.

Sister Su nodded lightly and asked again, "Are you cultivating the Fire Attribute Technique?" If not, do you need to lease a fire-based spirit? The cheapest one only costs five lower grade yuan stones. ”

Li Yuan looked at Sister Su, looking like a businessman, it seemed that she had done a lot of work to sell the earth spirit.

"Li Yuan, whether you are cultivating fire attribute exercises or not, you can lease a fire-type earth spirit. Yuan Li can be saved. When refining medicine, don't be too distracted. In this way, the success rate is higher, and it is easier to pass the assessment. ”

Han Zishu mentioned that the fire-based earth spirit could help the alchemist and make it easier for Li Yuan to pass the exam, and what he said was his own experience, and he gave some advice.

Li Yuan thought about it and touched his eyebrows.

Nine-colored flames can be produced in the Qiankun Ding, which is the best alchemy flame, but this is also easy to expose this treasure.

If you use fire to cover people's ears and eyes, it is not impossible.

"Okay." Li Yuan bowed his head, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Sister Su, how many yuan stones do you need to rent the best fire-based earth spirit here?" ”

Hearing this, Sister Su's eyes suddenly lit up, it seemed that there was a play, suppressed the joy in her heart, and introduced: "The best fire-based earth spirit we have here is the Golden Yan Bird, and we need ten medium-grade yuan stones.

"It will only be used when refining Ning Dan. What you are assessing is a mortal-level alchemist, refining is a mortal pill, an ordinary fire-type earth spirit, which is enough. The strength of the Golden Yanniao flame is too high, and it can only withstand it at least a sect treasure-level furnace tripod. ”

Li Yuanqu flicked his fingers, and ten medium-grade Yuan stones appeared on the counter out of thin air, and said in a deep voice: "My furnace tripod happens to be a sect treasure, and it is suitable to use the Golden Yan Bird." Sister Su will help me rent a golden bird. ”

Han Zishu and Sister Su widened their eyes at the same time, the excitement on their faces was obvious, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The ten medium-grade Yuan Stones are just for renting a fire-type earth spirit.

The most terrifying thing is that Li Yuan said that he used a Zongbao-level furnace ding.

You must know that the worst quality Zongbao furnace tripod is also worth hundreds of thousands of medium-grade yuan stones.

Li Yuan found that the two of them had not responded for a long time, so he coughed twice and asked, "Sister Su, what are the next steps?" Where can I get it? ”

Sister Su heard Li Yuan's question, came back to her senses, calmed down, and responded with a slightly trembling voice: "There is no process next, your position is in the direction of the stairs facing the hall, the No. 8 table on the right."

"As for the refined elixir, the invigilator will announce it later. The materials will be delivered to your location by someone, and the golden bird will also be brought directly over. You can now go to the location and wait. Walk down the stairs here, and the assessment will begin. ”

As Sister Su spoke, she pointed to the steps on the right.

Li Yuan respectfully arched his hand to Sister Su, nodded to Han Zishu beside him, and then went to the assessment area.

………

The mortal-level alchemist assessment is about to begin.

A dozen figures clustered in the corner of the hall slowly dispersed and walked towards their respective positions.

Sister Su wrote something on a piece of paper, and on the shelf behind the counter, she took off a seal and stamped it.

Holding the stamped paper and looking at it carefully, Sister Su beckoned to the waiter next to her and said, "Enthalpy, send the information of this newcomer to the two presidents." Hurry up, the assessment will start soon. ”

The waiter named Yu didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and ran inside with the information.

Li Yuan descended all the way down the stairs, bypassing the stream in the central area, and came to the eighth table in the assessment area.

His eyes swept around, and he found that more than a dozen of the assessors were all using the free furnace to refine medicine, and only his desktop was empty.

Judging from the fluctuations of the Yuan Force spilled out of these assessors, all of them cultivated the Fire Attribute Exercises, and their cultivation was all in the early and middle stages of the Yuan Force Realm.

Except for a few who are older, most of them are about the same age as him.

Several women who participated in the alchemist assessment swept their eyes from Li Yuan from time to time.

With their cultivation, it is naturally impossible to see Li Yuan's cultivation, not to mention that they don't want to explore their cultivation, the focus of attention is on Li Yuan's appearance.

Li Yuan's appearance is not to be said, the jade tree is in the wind, fresh and handsome.

Being stared at by so many strange eyes, just like looking at a monster, made Li Yuan a little embarrassed, and tried his best to avoid those eyes that looked at him and not intertwine with them.

Just as he was trying to find a way to relieve this embarrassing situation, the hall suddenly fell silent.

All the primordial eyes moved away from him and landed on the passage to the right of the staircase ahead.

Li Yuan hurriedly summoned out the Qiankun Ding and put it on the table.

Lower the grade of Qiankun Ding to the level of Zongbao, and the appearance of Qiankun Ding at this time is red.

The Zongbao-level furnace tripod is much larger than the Fanbao furnace tripod, reaching two feet wide at the widest point.

Compared with the furnace tripods on the desktop of other assessors, it is more eye-catching, after all, the widest part of those furnaces is only half of the furnace tripod on Li Yuan's table.

Although the red furnace was conspicuous, no one else paid attention at the moment, and their eyes were fixed on the passage on the right side of the stairs ahead.

It didn't take long for two old men to come out of the passage, also dressed in alchemist robes, and the badge on their chests had three fire patterns, both of them were condensing alchemists.

As soon as the two appeared, the audience immediately burst into cheers.

Inferring from the honorific titles given to the two old men by these people, they should be the president and vice president of the Qingzhai City Alchemist Guild.

One of the white-haired old men looked at it, and Li Yuan could tell at a glance that he was the chairman Han Xuyang, because Han Zishu's appearance was somewhat similar to him.

Another gray-haired and slightly thinner old man was Vice President Ren Yanchen.

Han Xuyang and Ren Yanchen walked to the center of the platform, and when they were about to wave to the assessors, their eyes fell on the stove on Li Yuan's desk.

"The best Sect Treasure Furnace Ding!" Han Xuyang and Ren Yanchen both exclaimed at the same time.

Although I don't know what the name of the furnace tripod in front of Li Yuan is, after all, he is a condensing level alchemist, and he is well-informed, so he knows the quality of the furnace ding just by looking at it from a distance.

As condensation-level alchemists, the two of them naturally also use the furnace tripod of the Zongbao level, but they are only medium-grade Zongbao, which is worth hundreds of high-grade Yuan stones.

The top-grade Zongbao furnace in front of Li Yuan is impossible to buy without tens of thousands of top-grade Yuan stones.

Moreover, this level of furnace tripod is not measured by yuan stone.

If this furnace ding had already shocked them, then after the next gaze fell on Li Yuan, the two of them opened their mouths wide at the same time, their eyes were round, and they were a little panicked, and they did not have the high-minded and noble status and temperament they had on weekdays.

At the age of twenty-six, he stepped on the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm.

At this age, with such cultivation, they had never seen it before.

Doubts ran into their minds at the same time.

The young man in front of him should not be from Yuanzhou.

Either from the royal capital.

Either from outside the Great Xia Dynasty.

After a while, Han Xuyang and Ren Yanchen came back to their senses, glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and touched their beards.

Seeing the two presidents so out of shape, everyone below all looked at Li Yuan's location at this time.

Only then did they notice the furnace tripod on Li Yuan's desktop, although they couldn't tell what the quality of the furnace tripod was, it was definitely much higher than the furnace tripod they used.

However, they did not lose their temper as the two presidents behaved, but their eyes were full of envy.

At this time, a mortal-level alchemist man came to Li Yuan's location with an earth spirit.

The spirit is covered in golden and fiery feathers, has a slender neck, a small head, and a long, flat mouth.

The huge beak and small head are somewhat incongruous, the body length is seven or eight feet, and the legs are more than half a zhang long, making the bird more than one zhang tall.

"Golden Bird!"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from among the examiners.

Hearing this, the other assessors also looked at Jin Yanniao with surprised eyes.

Although they had heard that the Alchemist Guild had raised a golden bird, they had never seen it, and today it was an eye-opener.

The examination area by the central pool was in chaos, and all the examiners made a loud noise.

Li Yuan looked at the Golden Yan Bird in front of him, and then talked to the alchemist for a few words, and learned how to use the Jin Yan Bird.

After understanding everything clearly, he arched his hand to the alchemist, and the other party returned the salute, and the latter left the examination area.

Turning his head and intertwining with the eyes of those assessors, Li Yuan touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

He suddenly realized, a little too ostentatious.

Scanning the chaotic situation below, Han Xuyang's face became serious, he waved his hand downward, coughed a few times, and said loudly: "Okay, everyone go back to their places." ”

Hearing the voice of the elder, all the assessors behaved a little more and quickly returned to their respective positions.

After all the assessors returned to their positions, Han Xuyang and Ren Yanchen nodded to each other, Ren Yanchen clenched his right hand into a fist, put it in front of his mouth, coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "The alchemist assessment is about to begin, now I will announce the rules." ”

At this moment, the hall was silent, and then, Ren Yanchen's slightly old voice echoed in the hall.

Except for Li Yuan, the examiners below have already taken the test several times, and the rules are quite familiar.

Before the alchemist assessment begins, the reading of the rules is a fixed process.

According to Ren Yanchen's introduction, the assessment of the mortal-level alchemist shows that refining the pill is the time for two incense sticks, almost two hours.

The big incense that recorded the time was inserted in the incense vessel not far in front of Ren Yanchen, and the assessment personnel could see it when they raised their heads.

There is a large bell in the center of the upper hall, and when incense is lit, it will be rung at the same time to indicate the beginning of the examination.

When the second incense stick burns out, ring the bell again to indicate the end of the assessment.

The pills that are assessed and refined are all ordinary inferior pills, which are the most common pills, and they will not be assessed as relatively unpopular pills.

Before the formal assessment, the alchemists of the Alchemist Guild will bring the sticks containing the names of the pills to each assessor one by one, and the examiners will draw lots to decide the pills to be refined.

The pills on each stick are different, so all the assessment personnel can only rely on their own experience to refine the pills, and it is impossible to observe them on the spot.

After all, the refining method of each elixir, the order in which the materials are placed, and the time for refining the elixir are all different.

What kind of pill each assessor refines, there are some luck elements, if you draw a simple pill, the probability of passing will be greatly improved.

For the inferior Fan Dan, the most difficult thing to refine was the Yanli Dan, but Li Yuan could refine it with his eyes closed.

Even if he has not refined an unpopular pill, there is only a prescription, and there is no pill prescription, in front of an alchemist who has refined a large number of three-pattern into the Void Pill, there is no problem.

As long as you refine a quality elixir, you can pass the assessment and obtain the mortal-level alchemist badge.

For the assessment of the alchemist of all ranks, the materials for refining the elixir are provided by the guild, and no matter whether the refining is successful or not, there is no need to pay any fees, which is also the guild's order to encourage everyone.

If the elixir is successfully refined, the elixir will be owned by the guild.

Of course, if the alchemist himself wants to take the pill, he can convert it into the corresponding market price according to the quality of the pill, and then buy it at half price.

Most of the assessors will buy the elixir they have refined, after all, this is the elixir refined during the assessment, and it is still quite commemorative to become a sign of becoming a true alchemist.
