Chapter 190: Assessing the Pharmacist
"Did you know...... How to alchemy, how can I learn quickly?"
Shen Zhe couldn't help but ask.
"In the Central Wangcheng, there is an organization where the alchemist belongs, called the Pharmacy Society, and if you want to learn alchemy, there are enough books and medicinal materials there!"
Xiao Yu Judo.
"I'll go over now......" Knowing that time waits for no one, without much hesitation, Shen Zhe nodded.
Among the subordinates, there happened to be one who knew the specific location of the Pharmacy Society, and asked him to lead the way, and it didn't take long to come to him.
It's an old building, and it looks a little old.
"One to three grades, collectively referred to as pharmacists, beyond this level, the effect of the medicinal liquid is not great, and it can only refine the elixir, so ...... This kind of strong person is called an alchemist! ”
Xiao Yurou explained.
In two days, I read a lot of books and had a deeper understanding of the profession of alchemist.
In fact, it is an upgraded version of the pharmacist.
The elixir is of great help to cultivators of the first to third grades, and when they break through to this realm, the true qi in the body becomes liquid, and the mana is also liquefied in the brain domain, and the effect that the medicinal liquid can play is small.
And the pill is powerful and has a greater effect.
The alchemist has a noble status because of this, and the pills are all very valuable.
Walking into the Pharmacy Society, there are not too many people.
"Hey, this young master and young lady, why are you here?" was wandering around, a voice sounded, Shen Zhe turned his head to look, and then saw a young man in gray walking over with excitement.
It was the one who was in the trading house before and wanted to sell the pills to them.
I didn't expect to run into it here.
"I'm a pharmacist and want to learn how to do alchemy...... I don't know what to do?"
This young man, who can find pills to sell around, must have his own way, and if you ask him, he must know better than others.
"Young master or pharmacist?" was stunned for a moment, and the young man in gray was full of disbelief.
This one made nearly one million taels of silver in one breath with gambling stones, which had already shocked him on the spot and admired him, but he didn't expect to be a pharmacist!
This talent is terrifying!
Shen Zhe smiled and nodded.
"That'...... Can you have a pharmacist certificate? If you have, you can post to the teacher, of course, whether there is an alchemist to accept it, it is not certain. You can also go to the library to read and study, and even go to the Danfang to test!"
The young man in gray explained.
After listening to it, Shen Zhe understood.
Alchemists have a strict hierarchy, and if you want to learn, there are two paths.
If the other party can see it, accept it as a disciple, teach the art of alchemy, and learn it, it will definitely be fast, and it will also take the opportunity to open the door and vision, and it will be relatively easy to sell the pill in the future.
No one wants to give advice, so you can only go to the library to read and study by yourself...... Not to mention this kind of aimlessness and slow progress, the most important thing is that even if you become an alchemist, you can do alchemy, without a teacher, it is equivalent to having no way and backing, and selling pills and buying medicinal materials will become a problem, and it will be difficult to succeed.
However, in either case, you must first have a pharmacist certificate.
It is precisely because of this certificate that Teacher Kimchi has a respected status in the Abyssal Sea Kingdom, and even His Majesty Xiao Jin respects three points.
"How is the assessment?" asked Shen Zhe.
"Go to the testing room over there, someone is specially responsible for the assessment, as long as the prescribed liquid can be refined, a certificate will be issued!"
Shen Zhe and Xiao Yurou looked at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a room not far away, and many people were queuing.
In and out, some with excitement, many more with frustration.
"In the Central Wangcheng, there are a lot of people who study potions, and at least dozens of people come to the assessment every day, but ...... There are only a handful of people who can pass!"
The young man in gray explained.
Pharmacists, once they become alchemists, will be one of the most lucrative professions, so countless people will come over every day to try their luck.
It's just that the assessment is too difficult, and very few can succeed.
Following behind the group, it didn't take long to walk into the room.
In the middle are three huge furnaces, as well as some medicinal herbs, three people are refining potions in front, and on the table next to them, several old men are watching intently.
"If you want to take the assessment, fill in the registration form first......" Seeing them come in, a young man beckoned.
Shen Zhe walked over and saw a form on the table, densely marked with items that needed to be filled in.
Pick up the brush and fill it in quickly.
"Bring your own medicinal herbs and alchemy furnace, or do you need to buy and lease it?" Seeing that he didn't have any powerful teachers, the young man's eyes showed contempt, and his tone was a little flat.
If you don't have a teacher, it means that you have learned, and it is unlikely that this kind of person will be able to pass.
"Medicinal herbs need to be bought...... The alchemy furnace comes with it!" Shen Zhe said.
"Well, what you're going to be tested ...... The refining of the three-grade [Huiling Elixir Liquid]!" glanced at it, the strength and level of this person in the table, the young man said.
"Huiling Spiritual Liquid?" Shen Zhe frowned.
His current alchemy technique has only been studied in Biyuan City, and it is not even a product, and he has never heard of this kind of medicinal liquid, let alone refining.
"Yes!" Seeing that he didn't even know this, the young man's contempt was even stronger, and he was a little impatient: "What kind of cultivation has been achieved, what level of medicinal liquid has been refined, a third-grade powerhouse, refining a first-grade medicinal liquid, even if it is successful, it is not worthy of being a pharmacist!"
Many potions are very easy to prepare, just like the previous body training potions, some students of the Seven Star Realm can complete them.
A dignified three-grade powerhouse, refining this thing, even if it succeeds, it is impossible to obtain a certificate.
Shen Zhe understood, and was a little embarrassed: "I don't know...... You have the prescription and refining steps of the Huiling Elixir here, can you let me take a look at it first?"
"Prescriptions and steps?" the young man couldn't help but be stunned: "Don't tell me...... You've never refined?"
I haven't even refined medicine, so what are you doing here?
Do you think that you can successfully refine the liquid medicine just by looking at it once?
Medicinal liquid, so easy to succeed, everyone is a pharmacist, and pills and the like are not so valuable.
"I had only refined body training potions and spirit cleansing liquids before...... Not to mention refining, I haven't touched anything else......" Shen Zhe smiled bitterly.
The "......" youth was a little speechless.
Exercise body liquid, clear spirit liquid...... Will you refine this low-grade medicinal liquid, so you're embarrassed to come over?
You're not sick in the brain, are you......
"Why, I haven't been in contact with it, I can't take the test?" Seeing that the other party's expression was wrong, Shen Zhe asked.
"Of course not, as long as you pay enough assessment fees, you can ...... assessment" The young man shook his head, and there was already some impatience in his tone.
For each assessment, you need to pay an assessment fee...... Otherwise, how could those alchemists have so much kung fu, guarding here and helping people assess?
"How much?" asked Shen Zhe.
"10,000 taels of silver once! Pass, get the qualification certificate, you can return it, if you don't pass, the money will not be refunded......" The young man looked over: "You have to think clearly, this is not a small amount, once you don't pass, it will be handed over in vain, whether it is an assessment, you must think clearly!"
"I've thought it through, I'm going to take ...... test"
He took out the silver ticket from his bosom and handed it over.
Snorting, the young man continued: "The cost of purchasing medicinal materials still needs 10,000 taels ......."
Knowing that this was the other party taking the opportunity to sell medicine, Shen Zhe was too lazy to say, and took the silver ticket again and handed it over.
"It's really rich and ......"
With a sneer, the young man waved his hand, took out a book from behind him and handed it over: "This is the pill recipe and refining method of the Huiling Elixir, you can see for yourself! After they have finished the assessment, you can go up and ......"
"Good!"
Shen Zhe nodded, opened the book, and hurriedly looked at it.
The refining method of Huiling Elixir is many times more complicated than that of Qingshen Spiritual Liquid and the like, and more than 80 kinds of medicinal materials are needed alone, and the order in which each medicine is put into the furnace, the reaction time, and even the temperature of the flame ...... All of them are extremely demanding and extremely difficult to complete.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, before I could write down the order in which the medicinal herbs were put into the furnace, I heard the shouts of the young man sound.
Hurriedly looked up, the three people who had been assessed before had already ended.
None of them passed, and they all left in frustration.
A pharmacist is not as difficult as an alchemist, but not everyone can do it.
"Okay, the three of you, what you are refining are all Huiling Elixirs, these are medicinal materials, let's start preparing in advance!"
Quickly stood up, the medicinal materials were also placed on the board, and an old man in charge of the assessment spoke.
"Yes, Teacher!"
One of the young men nodded, picked up a stove in the corner, and walked over to the charcoal fire.
"What does he call a teacher?"
"This one I know, it's that Chen Danshi's student, my own student, my own assessment, this place, I must have passed easily!"
"Who says it's not, find a good teacher, it's hard to find......"
......
There was an uproar.
Shen Zhe looked.
This student of Chen Danshi, who is in his thirties, has a pair of eyes, as dazzling as an eagle falcon, and has his own demeanor between gestures, and he knows at a glance that he often refines medicine and has a strong self-confidence.
The remaining one was assessed at the same time as himself, about forty years old.
"This is the pharmacist Hu Quan! I have been a second-grade pharmacist for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to come to assess the third-grade pharmacist today!"
"I used to buy his potions, and they were famous...... It is said that the probability of refining well is forty percent!"
"That's amazing...... I didn't expect to be able to see with my own eyes that such a powerful two people can assess three products at the same time!"
"Who is the rest of the boys? Do you know each other?"
"I don't know, I guess I'm here to make up the numbers......"
His eyes were focused on the second pharmacist, and he talked around again.
"A second-grade pharmacist and a teacher are the geniuses of alchemists?" Shen Zhe smiled slightly.
At the same time, it is very stressful to assess with these two people......
After all, he hadn't remembered the order in which the medicinal herbs were put into the furnace until now, let alone the techniques.
"Where's your furnace?"
Really deep in thought, a shout rang out.
Shen Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then saw the eyes of several judges, and they all came together.
