Chapter 527
Before the old man in white robe finished speaking, a thin warrior flew down from the top step square.
"Please participate alchemist to come forward and exchange the entry voucher for the number plate!" The warrior shouted to the crowd.
Jing Yan looked at Zhou Shangyun, Zhou Shangyun smiled and nodded at him.
Afterwards, Jing Yan and other alchemists who spoke for the Youhai Chamber of Commerce walked forward.
At the same time, a large number of alchemists walked out of the crowd, apparently all of them were preparing to participate in this alchemy ceremony. Jing Yan glanced around and estimated that there were indeed more than a thousand alchemists participating in the alchemy ceremony.
The process of exchanging vouchers for number plates is very fast. Jing Yan also exchanged the voucher given to him by Zhou Shangyun for a milky white number plate with vermilion numbers on it, which is sixty-six.
After a while, all the alchemists who participated in the alchemy ceremony had exchanged their number plates. And the thin warrior who leaped down from the top stepped square also flew back again.
"The alchemist who holds the competition number plate, please go to the stepped square!" The old man in white robe said again.
Jing Yan also followed the crowd and jumped up.
On this step square, a large number of long tables are placed, and each long table is covered with a piece of silk.
"Alchemy Master Jing Yan, the alchemy ceremony has already begun, and the first step is to identify the medicine." Qiu Fang, who was beside Jing Yan, whispered to Jing Yan.
He didn't know if Jing Yan was familiar with the process of the alchemy ceremony, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to talk about it. In case Jing Yan is not familiar with the process, telling Jing Yan now will also make Jing Yan somewhat prepared.
"Identify the medicine?" Jing Yan looked at Qiu Fang.
As soon as Qiu Fang heard Jing Yan's tone, he was sure that Jing Yan really didn't know the process of the alchemy ceremony.
"That's right. The first level is to distinguish medicine, to identify one hundred kinds of spiritual herbs. Only the alchemists who pass the medicine identification and meet the requirements can advance to the next level. The second level is to distinguish alchemy, and the third level is alchemy. If you can pass the first level Three passes, then you will basically be on the list of rookie alchemy kings." Qiu Fang raised his head with a hopeful look.
He is only a fifth-level alchemist, and it is almost impossible for him to have a chance to be on the list of rookie alchemists.
During this period of time, he asked Jing Yan many questions about alchemy, and benefited a lot. Therefore, now he has great respect for Jing Yan, which can even be compared to his respect for Master Simao.
"Well, I see!" Jing Yan nodded, "Thank you, Alchemist Qiu Fang.
"
"Please alchemist choose the long table for identification of medicine!" the old man in white robe said loudly again.
Jing Yan waited for more than a thousand alchemists, and they all took action. Jing Yan also quickly found the purple long table marked with the number 66, and he stood in front of the long table.
When everyone stood in front of their own long table for distinguishing medicine, the voice of the old man in white robe came again.
"All alchemists, please uncover the silk cloth on the long table in front of you!"
"Clatter!"
All alchemists uncovered the silk covering the long table in front of them. And a variety of spiritual herbs came into the sight of alchemists.
The types of spiritual herbs on each long table are the same, and there are a total of one hundred types. In addition to the spirit grass, there are paper and pens on the long table.
On the paper, there are squares drawn one by one. There are four rows in total, and each row contains twenty-five squares.
With just one glance, Jing Yan knew that the spaces on the paper corresponded to the placement of the spirit herbs on the long table. It seems that the first level of medicine identification is to write the names of various spirit herbs on the long table into the corresponding spaces on the paper.
"The first level of the Alchemy Ceremony is medicine identification! There are a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs on the long table in front of each alchemist. Write the name of the grass in the corresponding space. The time for the first level is one hour."
"Now, the medicine identification begins! Note that no alchemist can communicate with other alchemists until the end of the medicine identification. If found to be violating the rules, the alchemist will be directly deprived of the qualification to participate in the alchemy ceremony." The white-robed old man shouted solemnly .
After the old man in white robe finished speaking, the alchemists immediately picked up the pens on the long table, and hastily began to write the names of various spirit herbs on the paper. However, they start writing quickly and stop writing quickly.
In less than a third of the tea time, a large number of alchemists stopped the pens in their hands, frowned and showed sorrow on their faces.
"What is this stuff?"
"Is this also spiritual grass? Why haven't I seen it before? It looks like ore!"
"Damn it! Damn it! I don't know three kinds of spirit herbs in a row. How is it possible? I have seen countless kinds of spirit herbs in the chamber of commerce. How could I not know this kind of spirit grass?"
All the alchemists started to scratch their heads, thinking anxiously in their hearts.
The spiritual herbs placed on the long table, some in front, are indeed easy to identify. But there are a total of one hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, and after twenty kinds, the difficulty suddenly increases. Even the alchemists of those aristocratic families, and even the alchemists of the Chamber of Commerce, frowned.
Because time is limited, it is impossible for them to waste too much time on one spiritual herb. When a kind of spiritual grass cannot be recognized, it can only be temporarily let go, and then the next kind of spiritual grass can be identified.
But many people found that they let go of the spirit grass one by one, and even let go of more than ten spirit grass in a row.
These alchemists can't calm down anymore!
They feel that the difficulty of this alchemy ceremony seems to have been raised a lot. These alchemists are all alchemists under the age of a hundred, so it is naturally impossible for them to have participated in the last alchemy ceremony. But most of them have backgrounds, and they all have some understanding of the last Alchemy Ceremony.
Many alchemists know that most of the alchemists were able to successfully identify more than seventy kinds of spirit herbs in the first stage of the last Alchemy Ceremony. But in the first stage of this Alchemy Ceremony, it seems that it is very difficult to identify fifty kinds of spirit herbs.
Jing Yan stood in front of the long table, his eyes flicked over the spiritual grasses on the long table.
Gradually, he also became short of breath.
"Golden grass?"
"Shiyan fruit?"
"..."
Jing Yan's gaze became brighter and brighter. Jing Yan didn't pay much attention to the spiritual herbs in front, because they were relatively common and not very valuable. But some of the spiritual herbs in the back, even Jing Yan, have many that he has never seen before. If it weren't for the information of these spirit herbs recorded on the Dao of Qiankun Pill, it would be impossible for Jing Yan to identify them.
However, he knew the value of these spirit herbs. Especially the following dozens of spiritual herbs, each of which is extremely valuable, and they are usually not available for purchase.
Jing Yan also sighed in his heart, Dan Country is worthy of being the Holy Land of Alchemy in Tianyuan Continent, and it can produce so many rare spirit herbs all at once. Tsk tsk, if you can get these spiritual herbs in your pocket, it will be refreshing.
