Chapter 103 Alchemist Assessment—Passed (1/2)
Three days later, Guiyuan Sect Alchemy Pavilion, first floor.
At this time, many people had gathered, and they were all watching the man and woman in the middle making medicinal meals.
The man is naturally Li Yan, and the woman is a petite girl with some baby fat named Lin Shihua.
"Senior brother, how are you? I can teach you well."
Chi Xiaoxiao looked at the man in front of him with a proud face, showing off the good apprentice he had taught.
The man is dressed in white, has a face like a crown jewel, has a slender body, and wears a hair crown in the shape of an alchemy furnace. From this incongruity, we can see that this man loves alchemy.
"That's right, that's right. I didn't expect that the little guy who was a crybaby before could now teach a qualified alchemist."
He was a head taller than Chi Xiaoxiao, and he could touch the other person's head with his hand, and he did the same.
"Oh, senior brother, you can't touch Xiaoxiao's head anymore. Xiaoxiao is no longer the crying little guy before. Xiaoxiao has grown up."
Chi Xiaoxiao shyly shook off the man's big hand and ran to the side.
"Yes, when I grow up, so much time has passed in the blink of an eye, and the previous scenes seem to still be yesterday."
The man thought of the past, and his words were a little sad.
"Senior Brother Feng, let bygones be bygones. What we have to do now is practice hard, train more disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion, and restore the Guiyuan Sect to its former glory."
A woman also dressed in white next to Feng Yi comforted him.
"Haha, Junior Sister Ruoxue, I'm not an old guy who likes to dwell on the past. I was just feeling a little emotional just now."
Feng Yi laughed, explained to Qin Ruoxue, and then said:
"But Junior Sister Ruoxue is right. We really need to train more disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion. The lack of elixirs makes the cultivation speed of our new disciples of Guiyuan Sect obviously slower than that of the previous new disciples of Guiyuan Sect. Quite a few.”
When Feng Yi said this, there was a trace of worry on his face.
"Indeed, there is no shortage of ordinary elixirs in the sect. After all, ordinary elixirs can be bought outside with money. What is lacking are high-quality elixirs, elixirs that can help people make breakthroughs."
"No one sells these elixirs in Linjiang County. The forces that can refine these elixirs are all like our Guiyuan Sect. They are digested internally as soon as they are refined."
"Therefore, the top priority of our Alchemy Pavilion is to train more alchemists to specialize in refining high-quality medicinal diets. We can purchase ordinary medicinal diets and elixirs from outside."
Qin Ruoxue expressed her suggestion.
Of course, she only proposed to train more alchemists, not alchemists, because alchemists not only take more time to train, but also consume far more resources than alchemists, and they also require special talents.
The Alchemy Pavilion of Guiyuan Sect brings together almost all the alchemy apprentices, alchemists, alchemy apprentices and alchemists of Guiyuan Sect, a total of more than fifty people.
More than half of them are alchemists and alchemy apprentices, and of the remaining half, alchemy apprentices account for the majority. There are only two real alchemists.
Because the real alchemist assessment is not like the current alchemist assessment, which can be held at will within one's own influence.
You need to go to the [Great Zhou Alchemist Alliance] branch in the city to take the assessment, successfully refine the designated first-grade elixir in the assessment, and get the approval of the [Great Zhou Alchemist Alliance] before you can be awarded the Alchemist Badge.
Prove that you are a qualified, legal alchemist.
Alchemy apprentices are those who can only refine ordinary elixirs.
This is the classification established by the Great Zhou Alchemist Alliance.
Many major forces will follow this grading system of the Alchemist Alliance, and Guiyuan Sect is naturally no exception.
There are only some small forces, such as the Li family. Those who can refine ordinary elixirs are called alchemists, and those who can refine high-quality elixirs are alchemy masters.
"Junior sister Ruoxue, I have heard similar suggestions from other junior brothers and sisters, but this matter involves the future development of the entire sect, and even I cannot control it."
"However, after the alchemist examinations of these two junior brothers and sisters are completed, I will go to see Elder Xia in person and explain to her the current shortage of elixirs in the sect."
"If Elder Xia agrees with your suggestion, then there is a high probability that your suggestion will be implemented within the sect."
Feng Yi listened to Qin Ruoxue's words and after thinking for a while, he replied.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, senior brother. However, this is not my suggestion alone. It is a suggestion that I and my junior brothers and sisters came up with after examining the current situation of the sect."
Hearing Qin Ruoxue's words, Feng Yi looked at her helplessly.
"Junior sister Ruoxue still likes to study these things as before. The sect has asked you to be responsible for selling elixirs, which can be regarded as following your wishes."
Qin Ruoxue smiled and said nothing.
"However, senior brother, I still want to warn you. Your alchemy skills have not made much progress for a long time. You should put more energy into this."
"I hope you will be the fourth official alchemist of our Guiyuan Sect."
Feng Yi said expectantly.
"I may disappoint Senior Brother Feng. My talent may only support me to this point. I don't want to waste the sect's precious elixir anymore."
Faced with Feng Yi's expectations, Qin Ruoxue smiled bitterly, hesitated, and finally said this.
Feng Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something to encourage him, but in the end he said nothing.
Talent is something that can be either there or not. With his status, if he talks too much, it will make Qin Ruoxue more painful.
Because he is already a formal first-grade alchemist.
"Pa pa pa", a burst of applause suddenly broke the somewhat dull atmosphere between the two.
It turned out that both Li Yan and Lin Shihua passed the alchemist assessment and became formal alchemists.
In Guiyuan Sect, only alchemists who can make fine medicinal food can be called formal alchemists. Otherwise, even if they can make more types of ordinary medicinal food, they can only be apprentices of alchemists.
The alchemist assessment that Li Yan participated in today is to assess the ability to make fine medicinal food.
As long as the success rate reaches one-fifth, it will be considered passed.
Because as long as there is a one-fifth success rate, there will be no loss, and even a small profit.
Li Yan failed the first two times, but succeeded the third time.
Coincidentally, Lin Shihua was the same, and the speed of making medicinal food was the same.
It was also because of this that the scene burst into applause.
Because such scenes are so rare.
"Congratulations, Li Yan, you are now a pharmacist like your senior brother, and you have graduated."
Shen Yue was the first to walk to Li Yan, with a happy smile on his face, and congratulated him.
"I still have a lot to learn, and it's too early to graduate. The pharmacist is just the beginning, and there are still alchemists waiting for me in front?"
Li Yan was very humble, but he also revealed his ambitions and goals in his words.
"Haha, well said, young people should have such ambitions."
Feng Yi came forward at this time, followed by Qin Ruoxue.
"Senior Brother Feng, you are here too."
Shen Yue said in surprise after seeing Feng Yi.
"Junior Brother Shen, I have arrived a long time ago, but you were too nervous about this assessment, and your eyes were always on Junior Brother Li Yan, so you didn't notice me."
"You know, Junior Sister Xiaoxiao has met me a long time ago, right, Junior Sister Xiaoxiao."
At this time, Chi Xiaoxiao brought Lin Shihua, who had just become a pharmacist, to this side.
As soon as she arrived, she heard Feng Yi talking about her, which made her ears redden. Then, she nodded involuntarily.
"Really? That's indeed my fault. I'll treat you to a drink someday."
"By the way, come on, Li Yan, let me introduce you. This is Brother Feng Yi, a core disciple of the sect and one of the only three official alchemists in the sect."

Shen Yue pulled Li Yan over and introduced Feng Yi to him.
"Hello, Senior Brother Feng Yi. Please take care of me in the future."
Li Yan had naturally met Feng Yi, after all, Li Yan often worked on the first floor of the Alchemy Pavilion, while Feng Yi made pills on the second floor of the Alchemy Pavilion.
However, the two did not have much interaction, and the difference in status was also huge, so they had never spoken, and even had not looked into each other's eyes.
Now, with Shen Yue as a bridge, the two have officially met.
This is how the relationship was established.
"Okay, okay, I hope that Junior Brother can start learning alchemy as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Feng Yi was very generous as a senior brother, and patted Li Yan on the shoulder to encourage him.
Afterwards, Shen Yue introduced Qin Ruoxue to Li Yan, who was also a core disciple of the sect.
Although she did not have the status of a first-class alchemist, she was now in charge of the sect's pill trading, and her status in Guiyuan Peak was second only to Feng Yi.
However, in the hearts of some disciples, her status was higher than that of the head, especially those disciples who did not buy fine medicinal food and fine pills.
Qin Ruoxue encouraged Li Yan as a senior sister.
Then, she handed Li Yan a metal card, a 30% discount card for stores. As long as it is used in stores under Guiyuan Sect, it can be discounted by 30%.
This is a very practical card. Li Yan likes practical things. After receiving it, he hurriedly thanked her.
Of course, in addition to Li Yan, Lin Shihua also has one, without favoritism.
After that, Shen Yue introduced some senior brothers and sisters who Li Yan did not meet often.
It helped Li Yan expand his network of contacts.
After introducing a circle, Li Yan discovered something.
"Senior Brother Shen, didn't you say that we have three official alchemists in Guiyuan Sect? In addition to Elder Xia and Senior Brother Feng, who is the other one?"
Li Yan asked curiously.
"There is another one named Gui. You should know his identity."
"The sect built a separate alchemy room for him, so he doesn't need to come to the alchemy pavilion to make alchemy, and you rarely see him."
"Even I only saw him appear during the sect celebrations. Usually he practiced and made alchemy alone, and occasionally he would discuss alchemy with Elder Xia."
Shen Yue said after pondering for a while.
Li Yan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Obviously, this person's alchemy skills should be higher than Feng Yi's, but lower than Xia Lingshuang's.
"Congratulations, you are indeed worthy of being my opponent, and you are faster than me in refining."
Lin Shihua walked to Li Yan's side, looked at Li Yan, and a strong fighting spirit flashed in her eyes.
"Congratulations to you too, I didn't expect you to regard me as an opponent, then you have to work hard, my goal is to become an alchemist."
Li Yan smiled and replied.
"Humph, my goal is also to become an alchemist, let's see who will become an alchemist first."
Lin Shihua snorted, and her desire to win was very strong.
Seeing that Lin Shihua wanted to leave after saying this, Li Yan stopped her.
"Junior sister Lin, do you know my sister from the clan?"
"Are you talking about Hua Yue? I do know her, and it's related to you."
Lin Shihua turned around and looked at Li Yan and said.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Li Yan was a little confused.
"When I met Hua Yue, she seemed to have some conflicts with other people, and she mentioned you. I was curious and went forward to find out."
"So they said that you wasted your great talent for cultivation and became an alchemist. You are simply crazy. Hua Yue spoke up for you and said that you would be the best even if you were an alchemist."
"Hua Yue has great confidence in you."
After saying that, Lin Shihua left, because Chi Xiaoxiao was waving at her in the distance.
And Li Yan was a little amused, so that's how the two of them met.
At the same time, he also felt a little warm in his heart, that in a place he didn't know, there were people who would try hard to protect him.
But Li Huayue never told him about this.
"This little girl."
Li Yan didn't know what to say.
Speaking of which, Li Yan, as the first in martial arts performance among the new disciples, did not go to the [Attack Hall] but went to the [Alchemy Pavilion], which caused a storm at the time.
The elders of the [Attack Hall] came in person to ask for people, and the others could not make the decision. In the end, they even invited Xia Lingshuang, the elder of the [Alchemy Pavilion], to come out.
After Xia Lingshuang learned about the incident, her face, which had always been like an iceberg, was also a little surprised. She couldn't figure out what Li Yan was thinking.
So, naturally, she pulled Li Yan over and asked him what he meant.
Li Yan's attitude was naturally very determined, and he wanted to stay in the [Alchemy Pavilion].
After all, the [Attack Hall] did not help his development much, and fighting and killing every day would inevitably cause injuries. If the secret of the clone was discovered, Li Yan would probably be caught by the sect for research.
In the end, Li Yan naturally stayed in the [Alchemy Pavilion], and the elders of the [Attack Hall] left angrily.
However, Li Yan's stay in the [Alchemy Pavilion] was not without cost. If he could not become a formal alchemist within three months, he would have to report to the [Attack Hall].
This was the agreement reached between the two elders, and Li Yan had only agreed to it.
Fortunately, within three months, Li Yan successfully passed the alchemist assessment and became a formal alchemist of Guiyuan Sect.
In the evening, Chen Shisan, Chi Xiaoxiao, Shen Yue and Li Yan and fifteen others booked a private room at Fengxianlou in Guiyuan Town and set up a table.
This was naturally to celebrate the fact that Li Yan and Lin Shihua successfully passed the alchemist assessment.
"Come on, everyone, let's go. The first glass of wine is for Junior Brother Li and Junior Sister Lin. They are the protagonists today."
Shen Yue is obviously a veteran at the wine table. He drank first when he got to the table.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Lin."
The other thirteen people stood up and raised their glasses.
After the two became alchemists, they would automatically be promoted from outer disciples to inner disciples.
The other thirteen people were still outer disciples, so they called Li Yan and the others senior brothers and sisters.
"Thank you all, but my today is your tomorrow. I hope I can drink your celebratory wine next time."
After Li Yan finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Lin Shihua also said a few auspicious words and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, imitating Li Yan.
However, it should be her first time to drink. Not only did she choke, but two blushes quickly appeared on her cheeks.
Such a performance caused a good-natured laugh from everyone.
After this episode, the atmosphere at the wine table became more harmonious.
A celebratory wine, both the host and the guests were happy.
