Chapter 397 Examination
Su Jinyue was led by Xiao Qi to the Azure Palace. As soon as she stepped into the gate of the palace, she saw a long queue, lining up from the inside of the palace to the door.
Seeing that Su Jinyue was looking at the team in a trance, Xiao Qi said, "They are here to participate in the qualification assessment of a first-level alchemist."
"Are there any requirements for participating in the first-level alchemist qualification assessment?" Su Jinyue asked.
"All the first-level alchemists can participate in the assessment, but the elimination rate is very high. I heard from the young master that to participate in the first-level alchemist assessment, you must refine a full, top-grade first-level spiritual pill before you can continue to the second-level. The assessment of an alchemist." Xiao Qi said.
Su Jinyue nodded clearly, "I want to participate in the assessment."
"You are also an alchemist?" Xiao Qi looked at Su Jinyue in surprise.
Su Jinyue nodded, "That's right." She would have no problem refining one to three-level spiritual pills, Mandan, and top-grade pills.
"Then go, I'll wait for you here." Xiao Qi said. There is only one stick of incense in the first-level alchemist assessment anyway, so it can't be delayed. What the young master asked Elder Wei to refine is a seventh-level elixir. The higher the level of the elixir, the longer the refining time will be. When the master's elixir is finished, it is estimated that it will be evening.
Su Jinyue walked to the back of the line and lined up.
As the number of people queuing up to participate in the first-level alchemist qualification assessment reached 100, there was a deep and majestic voice like Hong Zhong, "One hundred contestants who participated in the first-level alchemist qualification assessment, please enter. Examination Hall."
Hearing this, everyone in the queue walked towards the assessment hall in an orderly manner. The number of people who take part in the first-level alchemist qualification assessment is 100 people every day. Once the number of people is full, the assessment will start. Other than 100 people, they can only wait until tomorrow to test again.
In the assessment hall, there are ten rows horizontally and vertically, exactly one hundred positions, and each position has an alchemy furnace and seven or eight spirit grasses. In the first-level alchemist assessment, everyone's medicinal pills are the same. Even if they are all first-class medicinal herbs, there are differences between difficult and easy. It is fair to refine the same medicinal herbs.
Su Jinyue walked to where she belonged and looked at the spirit grass on the table. It was immediately clear that the blood qi pill was to be refined, and the blood qi pill had the effect of healing, allowing the cultivator to quickly recover his stamina.
When everyone was in place, an old man wearing a gray robe with a majestic face walked in front of everyone.
He glanced at everyone lightly and said, "I'm very glad that you can come to the Alchemy Master Association to participate in the assessment of the first-level alchemist. This time, the assessment rules are the same as before. The assessment time is one stick of incense, and those who exceed the time will be eliminated. , unable to refine Mandan, the elimination of top-grade medicinal pills. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The crowd responded in unison.
"Let's start," the old man announced. He doesn't care too much about the assessment of a first-level alchemist.
As the old man's voice fell, everyone started alchemy. The time for a stick of incense is really urgent, and in order to refine Mandan, a top-grade medicinal pill, the heat must be well controlled.
Refining a first-level blood qi pill is not difficult for Su Jinyue at all. After purifying the spirit grasses one by one, after removing the slag, he began to control the fusion of the medicinal liquid with his divine sense to form a pill.
Not long after, a faint medicinal fragrance came from the pill furnace.
Su Jinyue played a pill collection decision, put twelve pills into the jade bottle in her hand, glanced at the incense not far away, and found that only half a column of incense had passed. First-level medicinal pills are the most basic, and there is no need to hide anything.
Putting the jade bottle aside, Su Jinyue stood there waiting for the end of the assessment.
The time for a stick of incense passed in an instant, and everyone had stopped their movements.
The old man raised his hand and waved, and fifty-seven first-level alchemist qualification cards were shot out and landed in front of the fifty-seven contestants who passed the assessment this time. His consciousness is so powerful that there is no need to check them one by one.
When the people who didn't pass leave the stage, the old man said, "The next step is the qualification test for second-level alchemists. Please leave the stage if you don't plan to participate."
Fifty-seven people stood in place, and no one left.
"We are now starting the second-level alchemist qualification assessment. This time, the alchemy time is two sticks of incense, the pills are full, and the grade reaches the top-grade level to pass." As the old man spoke, he waved his hand again, fifty-seven refining two The spirit grass of the grade medicine pill fell on everyone's table.
"Let's start." The old man announced directly.
The crowd started to get busy again.
Su Jinyue took a look at the spirit grass, and after understanding what kind of medicinal pills were made, she quickly began to make it.
Second-level pills are obviously more difficult to refine than first-level pills, and from time to time some people will explode or burn.
Su Jinyue controls the spirit herbs in the pill furnace, and the second-level spirit herbs are not difficult for her at all. As soon as the time for a stick of incense arrives, she has already put the refined pills into the jade bottle.
When the old man saw Su Jinyue refining the medicinal pill, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes. Although it is not difficult to refine the first-level and second-level medicinal herbs, it is not easy to make no mistakes at all when the speed is accelerated. After all, these contestants are only low-level alchemists.
As more and more people finished refining, the time for two sticks of incense came.
The old man waved his hand and threw out eleven qualification cards for a second-level alchemist. Regardless of whether it is a low-level alchemist, an intermediate alchemist, or even an alchemist, they can't leapfrog the level to refine medicine pills that are beyond their ability. The so-called ascending to the sky one step at a time, the same is true for medicinal pills, if you don't reach that state, you haven't reached it.
The qualifying competition for the third-level alchemists started again. This time, only eleven people were left to participate in the assessment, which also made the spacious assessment venue seem a little deserted.
Xiao Qi waited for a long time without seeing Su Jinyue come out. She grabbed an alchemist who failed the assessment and asked, "How is the situation inside?"
"It's still being assessed, and now it's the assessment of a third-level alchemist."
"A third-level alchemist? How many people participated in the assessment? Did you see a woman wearing a purple dress?" Xiao Qi asked continuously. Has Xiaoshan passed the first- and second-level alchemy tests?
"There are eleven people in total. There is a woman in a purple skirt. She is very fast in alchemy." He was standing next to Su Jinyue, so he was very impressed with her.
"Thank you!" Xiao Qi thanked the other party with a smile. Unexpectedly, Xiaoshan is actually a third-level alchemist, the young master will definitely be very happy to know. Although the first to third levels are all primary alchemists, the third-level alchemists are already very good in other cities. After all, other cities are not full of alchemists like Pill City. Otherwise, the young master of his family would not have traveled thousands of miles to this Pill City to find Elder Wei for alchemy.
