1573: C1573 The Test Begins

C1573 The Test Begins

In the Spirit Alchemist examination room, Yang Xuan followed Ling Ji into the examination room.

There were all kinds of utensils on the table in the examination room, such as medicinal pestle and medicinal dislocation. The exquisite small knife and so on were all tools that alchemists needed when refining medicine. Each table had two seats, which could be considered one of the rules of the Elixir Association. During the examination, two groups would supervise each other.

After all, there were fifty people in each examination hall, and the head examiner was only one person. How could he take everyone's actions into his eyes?

In order to prevent alchemists from cheating during the examination, there was this rule. Furthermore, the person who reported the cheating of the others beside him would also receive an additional score, so everyone kept a close eye on him.

One. An old man dressed in black stood on the highest platform, looking at the others present. The old man wasn't wearing an alchemist robe, he was dressed in black casual clothes. However, there was a purple badge with silver lining on his chest, symbolizing his identity as an Emperor Grade alchemist. This was the head examiner of this examination, Elder Su Gu of the Elixir Association.

Upon seeing Lingji walk in, a rare smile appeared on Su Jia's old-fashioned face. Although the young lady was very mischievous amongst her peers, she was respectful in front of the elders. Coupled with her natural talent and intelligence, she would naturally be liked by her elders.

Yang Xuan also passed the receipt of his application fee to Su Ya. After Su Ya read it, she was immediately somewhat surprised. He asked, "Is this your first time participating in the alchemist examination?"

"That's right." Yang Xuan nodded and took the receipt again. Su Jia looked surprised. Of course he knew the rules of Elixir Association. It was not like there were no hidden alchemists in the Heaven Realm who took in disciples. Disciples came to the Elixir Association to take part in the examination.

However, most of the disciples would take part in the examination between the sixth and the eighth rank. There were very few ninth rank disciples, let alone those who would directly take part in the examination of the spirit rank. It was almost unheard of.

Spirit. Emperor. Heavens. Immortals. Saints. Gods were six grades higher than the ninth grade. They were known as Immortal Alchemy Masters, because the pill concocted by these six grades could be called Immortal Pills.

"The assessment time is two hours. There are three chances to be graded according to the final result. Cheating will be revoked. I wish you good luck. Find yourself a seat and sit down. " After Su Yan briefly explained the rules to Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan slowly nodded his head. He looked around the examination room.

Lingji was still standing at the side and did not sit down. The few people sitting at the front wanted Lingji to sit beside him. If they didn't intend to cheat, the front row was a good seat. Because this place was closer to the head examiner, if there were any mistakes during the concoction process... Although the head examiner wouldn't directly point it out, he would still use his eyes to give a hint.

One had to know that even a slight look could point out a problem in one's eyes, which was equivalent to cheating openly.

However, Lingji ignored him and looked at Yang Xuan with her beautiful eyes.

Yang Xuan saw that there were only three seats left in the corner, which was a table and a half. He then walked towards the table at the corner. Ling Ji followed after him when she saw that he had chosen a seat. She actually sat down next to Lingji.

At this moment, everyone's gaze became strange. Before this, Ling Ji had always sat directly in the first row. Even though she knew Ling Lingji's nickname, Little witch, there were still people everywhere who wanted to suck up to her. Naturally, there would be people who would give up their seats for her.

Just now, when the two of them walked in together, everyone thought that it was just a coincidence. Now, when they saw the two of them sitting together again, it was really a little surprising.

Before the examination began, he had to take out all of his medicinal herbs and place them on the table. Once the examination began, his hands could not leave the table. This was also the rule of the examination.

Seeing Yang Xuan sitting in a daze the moment he entered, Lingji thought that Yang Xuan did not know this rule. She even specially reminded Yang Xuan with good intentions, but Yang Xuan just nodded his head numbly. He didn't move at all and continued to sit in a daze.

This time, Ling Ji felt somewhat unhappy. She couldn't help but snort coldly and turn her head to the side. But very quickly, she looked at Yang Xuan once again.

Of course, Yang Xuan wasn't a saint who would sit idly by, nor was he deliberately avoiding Ling Ji's gaze. It was just that although he and Biyao studied alchemy together in the past, it was only due to interest, so he did not know many pill recipes.

Adding on the theory of alchemy, Luo Ga did not know much about it. Instead, he relied on his own powerful strength to forcefully refine the pill.

Therefore, Yang Xuan was currently thinking about what kind of pill he wanted to refine.

Just like what Su Yan had said earlier, the test would be ranked according to the final result. This sentence contained several layers of meaning.

Even if it was a spirit grade pill, there would still be a distinction of superiority and inferiority. If the full score was 100 points, then... As long as one successfully refined the most difficult spirit grade pill, one would be able to obtain a full score. But if the one refined was the simplest spirit grade pill, and wanted to obtain full score... He had to have a very outstanding point of light.

Even though he had passed 60 points, as long as he passed, he would be able to be called a spirit grade alchemist no matter how many points he scored. However, if he obtained a score in the Elixir Association, when he went to seek refuge with a certain organization in the future... He could totally rely on this score to obtain a higher position.

Of course, Yang Xuan didn't care about this score. His only goal was to obtain the Purple Smoke Cauldron.

However, the meaning of Su Yan's words just now was not limited to this. If he were to refine a pill other than a spirit grade, for example, refining a tier 9 pill. However, he had altered this medicinal formula, allowing the final product of this tier 9 pill to have a better effect than other commonly seen finished products. He could also obtain points.

Other than that, if he were to refine a higher tier pill, he would naturally be able to obtain points as well. For example, if Yang Xuan refined a heaven-grade pill, he would fail halfway. However, as long as part of the process was completed, he would still be able to obtain the title of a Spiritual Grade Alchemist.

However, this method was rarely used by people. Even if they knew about it, they would not think about it.

However, this was what Yang Xuan was thinking about right now. After all, he was not an ordinary alchemist who looked at the pill formula and followed his own understanding of alchemy to concoct pills. Although the principles behind every type of pill above the Spirit Grade pill were similar, however, the refining method was completely different.2

Yang Xuan did not know why these medicinal theories did this to each other. He only knew that after what he did, he would be able to refine a pill.

After a long while, Yang Xuan patted his head and muttered to himself, "Since that's the case, then refine the Ascending Cloud Pill and the Spirit Accumulating Pill. It just so happens that these two types of pill medicinal ingredients are just enough."

As Yang Xuan spoke, he took out the medicinal ingredients required to refine the two kinds of pill. It was just that after Yang Xuan had this thought, the medicinal ingredients that he sold in the city in advance. Spirit grade pill was not considered rare in the entire world. Hence, it was still possible to buy the corresponding medicinal ingredients in a relatively larger medicinal house.
