The next morning, Nolan arrived at the Alchemy Society in Peak City half an hour early.

The Alchemy Society is an organization founded and operated entirely by alchemists, dedicated to facilitating the research and communication of fellow alchemists, and almost all well-known alchemists in history have been members of the Society, and have the highest authority in the alchemist circle.

The Mage Tower, the Knight Alliance, and the Alchemy Society, each of these three organizations represent the three most difficult groups of people to mess with, mages, knights, and alchemists, and they have existed for a longer period than the Roland Empire, which was founded 77 years ago.

Only if it is recognized by the Alchemy Society can one be considered an official alchemist.

After sitting in the hall for a while, Wilson, the director of the Society, appeared on time, followed by several alchemists who were also wearing black robes, and walked together with a sense of oppression.

"Nolan Wiese." Wilson didn't say half a word of nonsense, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready." Noren's face did not change to meet the scrutinizing gaze of the alchemists, and walked straight over.

"Follow me."

Wilson bowed his head and stepped into the room first.

This is a spacious laboratory, which is equipped with basic alchemy equipment and alchemy materials.

Wilson took his seat at the front of the podium, and was joined by two accompanying examiners, while the other three alchemists stood in different parts of the examination room to invigilate.

Noren glanced at it, and Wright, the alchemist who was hostile to him yesterday, was actually also an invigilator, standing on his left back.

His expression of anger, but he couldn't kill himself, was so funny.

"Noren Wies, studied under the alchemist Rasti Wises, and has been a student for ten years."

Wilson shook the information in his hand, "After the death of his teacher Rasti, in view of the fact that the school age has reached the standard, according to the regulations, the society will write a letter of recommendation for his deceased teacher and give him the qualification for the alchemist examination.

"The exam was conducted by Wilson Ray, director of the Alchemy Society of Peak City, as the chief examiner, and the examiner was ......"

He said five minutes of opening remarks and precautions, and finally said, "...... So, let's start the first round of written exams, which will be timed for two hours. ”

He flipped the hourglass on the table, and the invigilator handed Nolan two rolls and two quills.

Nolan took the test paper, only glanced at it cursoryly, and was already confident in his heart.

There are no multiple-choice questions, true or false questions in the alchemist's written exam, only fill-in-the-blanks, short answers, and essays.

But these are the most basic alchemy knowledge, which is not difficult for him, but it covers three disciplines, and it is enough to lay out two volumes.

He didn't hesitate, picked up the pen and began to write.

The sand in the hourglass slowly drained, and the laboratory was so quiet that only Nolan barely paused to write, but in twenty minutes, the first paper was finished.

So fast?

Wilson raised his eyebrows slightly, if it wasn't scribbled, it showed that the young man had a solid grasp of alchemy and didn't need any time to think and reminisce at all.

Then, another twenty-five minutes passed, and as soon as Nolan stopped, he casually checked the two papers for any missing writings, and then looked up and raised his hand to Wilson: "I'm done." ”

"Are you sure you want to turn in early?" Wilson took a sip of his tea, "You still have an hour and fifteen minutes to go." ”

"I'm sure." Nolan articulates clearly.

The alchemists on the side whispered, and Wilson said calmly, "Then close the scroll." ”

It was Wright who came to collect the papers, he picked up the papers and glanced at them casually, thinking with disdain in his heart that such an important exam was written so quickly without checking it twice, and his personality was really reckless and impatient.

I thought that I would be able to find a few mistakes by scanning the paper at random, but soon he couldn't walk because he suddenly found ...... Can't seem to check the error yourself?

Not only could he not check the error, he carefully swept the half-sided roll, and was angry to find that this damn little bastard didn't even have a typo, and the roll was clean and tidy like a printed standard answer!

"Wright?" Wilson on the podium coughed softly.

"Ahh......h

For a split second, he wanted to tear the two papers to shreds, but his sanity restrained him at the last moment.

No, in full view, there is no point in tearing up the test paper, it will only make you look like a madman.

Wright walked back with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking, and his colleagues on the side came over and asked curiously: "You just watched it for so long, how did this young man answer?" ”

“…… I don't know, I didn't see it much. ”

He seemed to be very confident, if he could really pass the exam today, the future of the seventeen-year-old alchemist was limitless. I said Wright, remember you were twenty-seven years old when you first became an alchemist, right? ”

"......" Wright turned his head, not wanting to talk to this peer who had no eyesight, but the uneasiness in his heart began to creep in.

"The second round of practical activities starts now."

After a ten-minute break, Wilson opened a sealed envelope in front of the crowd and read out the title, "Please move to the test bench and refine a bottle of primary magic potion in one hour." ”

Primary magic potion, after drinking, it is suitable for the user to continuously restore magic power, suitable for transcendent people who can absorb magic power, ordinary people have no effect after drinking, and occasionally have diarrhea and dizziness.

The primary magic potion is the same as the primary recovery potion, it is a relatively basic alchemy potion, and even if he doesn't use the omniscient and omnipotent book in his head, Nolan can memorize its recipe like a stream:

Take two clusters of magic mushrooms and mash them; Take a cluster of earth green vines, remove the leaves and chop them; The two are poured into the boiler, supplemented by an appropriate amount of water and boiled for a certain time; Take a cluster of wind flowers and mash them into a pot; Simmer over low heat for a certain amount of time to filter the dregs; Complete the potion configuration.

The above is the most common recipe for refining primary magic potions, and almost every alchemist is familiar with this formula, but remember that the recipe does not mean that you can refine a qualified alchemy potion.

The description of alchemy materials and operation methods in the alchemy formula mostly uses vague words such as "cluster", "appropriate amount", and "several", while in actual operation, if the ratio and boiling time of different materials are different, the effect will also change.

If a layman gets this formula, don't think about making an effective alchemy potion easily without frying the furnace a few times, and the alchemy apprentice has a teacher to explain the specific operation process for him, and he will take a lot of detours.

However, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, how to be able to refine a qualified alchemy potion stably and quickly on his own, and it also depends on everyone's understanding, hands-on ability and proficiency.

Refining the primary magic potion was naturally not difficult for Nolen, and with a sweep of his eyes, he found the materials he needed from the material shelves on the side.

But...... Looking at the complete variety of alchemy materials on the shelf, his mind suddenly became active.

He was actually able to refine higher-quality mid-grade magic potions, and there happened to be suitable materials here.

The formula for the mid-level magic potion was something he had "stolen" from Rasti before.

The reason why it is said to be "stealing" is because Rasti did not intend to teach him, and by observing the finished intermediate magic potion, the Book of Omniscience automatically recorded the recipe of the potion.

And the moment this recipe was recorded on the page, he automatically remembered the corresponding refining method in his mind, and there would be no possibility of any mistakes in practice!

His inheritance of the alchemy workshop was inevitable, and he needed to show enough talent in the exams to make a person in power like Wilson value him more and be willing to help train such a talented alchemist.

Thinking of this, he asked Wilson, "If I refine an intermediate magic potion, can I also be considered to have passed?" ”

The atmosphere in the entire laboratory was quiet, and the faces of everyone present turned strange.

The effectiveness of the intermediate mana potion is of course much better than that of the primary mana potion, but the corresponding refining difficulty is higher and the error tolerance rate is lower.

The most important thing is that even if you refine the intermediate magic potion, if you die, you will get a full score in this exam link, and you will not get extra points!

And if you make a mistake, only one hour of exam time is not enough time for you to practice again!

The benefits and risks of this kind of behavior that make it difficult for oneself are completely unequal, either he is stupid or simply showing off his skills.

But how can anyone who can become an alchemist be stupid? So this is a show-off, this must be a show-off!

Among the strange-looking alchemists, Wright was a little annoyed, and it was clear that he had taken Nolan's actions as a provocation to him.

After all, there is a direct conflict of interest, and the better Nolan behaves, the more detrimental it will be to his inheritance of the Alchemy Workshop, so it is not an over-interpretation.

Nolan didn't care what Wright thought, he looked at Wilson with blazing eyes, Wilson also sat up slightly straight, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

With the examiner's words, he could let it go, and the book of omniscience in his mind turned to the page of the intermediate magic potion, and he shuttled between the material rack and the boiler, and his skills were as sophisticated as a senior alchemist.

Looking at his smooth and familiar operation methods, the faces of the alchemists present slowly changed from strange to serious.

As the smell of medicine became stronger and stronger from the boiler, they gradually realized that this young man was probably really capable and sure of being able to make a bottle of medium-grade magic potions!

"Oh my God, he's coming really?"

Several invigilators looked at it vigorously, almost put their faces on the side of the boiler, and discussed excitedly in their voices: "The refining is about to be successful, and it seems that this exam is basically stable." ”

"It's not just stable, even if it's a formal alchemist, no one who is proficient in pharmacy can be as skilled as him, right? His methods are by no means like that of an ordinary alchemy apprentice! ”

The censors sitting on the podium also discussed: "That guy Rasti actually taught the formula of the intermediate magic potion to an alchemy apprentice, he really trusts his student's ability." ”

"But it's strange to say, he obviously has already qualified to become an official alchemist, why didn't Rasti write him a letter of recommendation?"

"Silently train your own students, and then suddenly amaze everyone?"

Wilson, who sat in the chairman's seat, did not express his opinion easily, and the color of approval in his eyes became more and more obvious.

This young man named Nolan is a good seedling, and the Alchemy Society has really picked up a treasure this time.

After that, not surprisingly, after forty-five minutes, the intermediate magic potion that Nolan had refined on the spot was successfully baked.

The tube of the cerulean potion was passed to the examiner through the invigilator's hand, and after a brief evaluation, Wilson stood up and smiled at Nolan:

"The practical exam is over, you can take a break for a while, and after ten minutes, start the final interview."

Nolan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled back.

The majority of the test results are written tests and practical exercises, which together account for 80% of the total score, and the interview is only 20%.

The interview basically does not test professional knowledge, and is mainly used by the Alchemy Society to understand the personality, philosophy and future plan of the new alchemist.

As long as you pass the written test and practical operation, when it comes to the interview session, it is basically a sure thing to become an alchemist.

Knowing that the results of this exam had been settled, everyone present relaxed, and when Nolan asked the proctor where the bathroom was, they expressed great enthusiasm and kindness to their future colleague.

The only thing that was not easy was Wright, and during the break he called out a censor sitting on the podium, and asked with the last bit of luck: "How did the kid do in the written test?" ”

"Full marks." The censor spread his hands, "If we can't prove that he cheated, we must admit that he has what it takes to become an alchemist." ”

Wright's face was hard to look at, and if Nolan cheated, he would definitely be the loudest shouter as an invigilator.

But Nolen's performance was impeccable, and even if he drilled the horns, he couldn't find any mistakes.

"Don't be discouraged, Wright."

The censor was his friend, and patted him on the shoulder to persuade him, "It's one thing for him to become an alchemist, it's another thing to inherit the alchemy workshop.

"This matter is handled by Lord Wilson, as long as you have a good relationship with him, won't it be easy to squeeze out the newcomer's place?"

"It's just not going to work." Wright stomped his foot irritably, "That old guy doesn't get in oil and salt, my inheritance priority is not as good as that kid, it's useless to say that it's broken!" ”

"There's another way." The friend came up with another idea, "You talk to the young man in private, promise to give him more compensation, spend some money and exchange other land with him, and see if he is willing to take the initiative to give up the inheritance."

"But if it were me, I would definitely not give up, the location of this alchemy workshop is too good, and it is only a few streets away from the city center. Hey, just ask. ”

“…… I know. Wright glanced at Nolan's back walking to the bathroom not far away, thought for a moment, and quickly followed.
