Chapter 36 Alchemist Assessment
Open the scroll, and the words "Rejuvenation Pill" appear on the scroll. Xiao Heng has also practiced this kind of pill, and he has made a lot of it. This kind of pill is average among first-class pills, and it is difficult to refine. It's considered average and the effect is pretty good, so it's not difficult for him.
He took out the five-mouth cauldron from the Najie, and the strange fire entered the medicine cauldron along the fire inlet. The vermilion flame quickly occupied all the space in the cauldron and began to burn blazingly.
The five medicinal materials were thrown into the medicine cauldron together. For Xiao Heng, refining these not-high-level medicinal materials was quite simple, and there would be basically no problems.
The emerald green medicinal materials gradually withered and melted under the heat of the flames, and finally turned into balls of medicinal liquid.
Otto's eyes swept across the four rooms and finally stopped at Xiao Heng's room. With a smile on his face, he seemed to be expecting something. The old man next to him said that Otto looked over and said with a smile: "Master Otto seems to be very interested in that boy."
Otto looked at Xiao Heng's room, holding a piece of simple parchment in his hand. He said with some melancholy: "That boy... I have never felt such a pure fire attribute breath. The natural alchemist Miaozi. Guiguzi? An alchemist who has not been recorded in the union, and I don't know who he is." The old
man I also saw a little bit of Otto's intention. Otto must have had the idea of accepting a disciple. The old voice said slowly: "Master Otto wants to accept a disciple. He has absolutely no reason to refuse." Otto shook his head
. , put away the parchment, and said with some disappointment: "I thought that was the case at first, but now it seems that it is probably not possible. I thought that the young man just came to try his hand, but when he entered, there was no trace of anything. Flustered and even a little confident, this shows that he is really confident, and if he really succeeds in refining a first-grade elixir, the alchemist Guiguzi may really exist." At this point, Otto also sighed
. It was hard to find a good prospect, but now it seemed to be someone else's good prospect, which really made him a little disappointed.
"But anyway, even if you can't accept him as your disciple, it's good to have a good relationship with him."
The old man next to him also nodded in agreement. Although Otto's words were reasonable, he couldn't be too direct, so he comforted him: "Wait a little longer. Let's wait and see! Maybe that boy really doesn't have a teacher!"
The old man's comfort was of no use to Otto, but he still nodded and said: "We can only hope that this is the case." However
, their idea was doomed to fail long ago. , Guiguzi was indeed invented by Xiao Heng, but Otto’s alchemy skills were not qualified enough to teach Xiao Heng, that was for sure.
The flames in the medicine cauldron extinguished, Xiao Heng's right hand gently lined up on the medicine cauldron, a round elixir rose up, and he grabbed the elixir, Xiao Heng smiled faintly. He murmured: "Simple."
"It came out. It seems that it failed. Congratulations to Master Otto." When the old man saw Xiao Heng coming out, he immediately congratulated Otto. As for Xiao Heng's success so quickly, he never thought that he could not even refine a first-grade elixir in such a short time.
"It's not confirmed yet! Don't worry, congratulations!" Although he said this, his smile still betrayed him. Obviously, he did not believe that Xiao Heng could refine a first-grade elixir in such a short period of time. , even he may not be able to do it, let alone Xiao Heng. Failure means that Xiao Heng most likely does not have a teacher, or the teacher is very weak. In this case, there is a high possibility that he will accept Xiao Heng as his disciple.
But then I thought about it, Xiao Heng should not be happy because he failed the assessment. I will have to be more tactful later, but it doesn't matter. As long as he accepts me as his teacher, I will train him to be a genuine first-grade alchemist in less than three years. , within five years, you can become a second-grade alchemist. It wasn't the beauty he thought, but the fire attribute aura in Xiao Heng's body was too pure.
He had already thought about what he would give Xiao Heng when he became his apprentice, just a book of Xuan-level exercises and fighting skills, plus a four-mouth cauldron! With a hearty smile, Otto walked towards Xiao Heng, and the old man next to him followed him, looking happy for Otto.
"Don't be discouraged, little friend. Just take the test again next time! With your talent, you will definitely pass next time." Otto walked over and said with a smile.
The old man next to him also echoed: "That's right! Don't worry, little friend!"
Presumably they thought they had failed! Xiao Heng smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and a round pill appeared in his palm.
"Please judge whether I pass the assessment or not!"
The smiles of the two of them gradually disappeared, and they solemnly took the elixir from Xiao Heng's hand. Regardless of whether Xiao Heng succeeds or not, it is a big deal. If he fails, he may be accepted as a disciple by Otto. If he succeeds, a first-grade alchemist of such an age will have great achievements in the future.
"This... pill pattern!" The old man became more and more surprised as he looked at it! The old man looked at Otto in shock and handed over the elixir. Otto took the elixir and nodded in confirmation. I checked it carefully and found that it was freshly baked and there was still some warmth left in the elixir.
"Congratulations, little friend!"
Otto reacted first and congratulated with a smile. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, it didn't matter. It was a blessing to witness the birth of such a young first-grade alchemist.
Xiao Heng nodded. He was not surprised by this answer. Said: "Thank you both, I want to continue to take the second-grade alchemist exam. I don't know if it is feasible."
Return the elixir to Xiao Heng, and the elixir that takes away the elixir pattern is quite precious, and Otto is here Next to him, he didn't dare to embezzle it.
"My little friend, you need to break through the Dou Master to refine the second-grade elixir! I wonder if Xiao Heng...?"
Although Xiao Heng has practiced the first-grade elixir with alchemy patterns, Otto still doesn't think Xiao Heng can refine the second-grade elixir. Taste elixirs, just kidding, elixirs are not so easy to refine. If he can refine them at this age, then his talent is really not inferior to Furukawa.
Xiao Heng smiled and said: "I got it by luck." For
ordinary practitioners, it is difficult for others to see his specific strength, unless the opponent is much stronger than him, or he is actively leaking his aura.
Now the two of them were really shocked. At this age, a breakthrough fighting master...! He's still a first-grade alchemist, no, looking at him, he doesn't look like he's just trying out for a second-grade alchemist test. In this case, he's very likely to be a second-grade alchemist.
"The procedure for assessing a second-grade alchemist is the same. As long as you refine a second-grade elixir, it will be considered a success!" Otto looked at Xiao Heng seriously, as if he was watching Xiao Heng's reaction.
Xiao Heng smiled faintly and said, "No problem!"
Seeing his confident look, Otto didn't say much. The old man next to him stopped talking when he saw Otto. Take a step forward, and then it's his job.
"My little friend, please come with me!"
After signaling to Otto, Xiao Heng and the old man came to another room. The general content of the room is still similar to the previous one, except that the space is much larger and the enclosure is much better.
The old man took out three medicinal materials from the Najie and placed them on the stone platform. Then he took out another scroll and said with a smile: "Very few people usually take the second-grade alchemist exam, so they won't be prepared for it. Don't mind, little friend. Let's take a look at this elixir first! As long as the refining is successful, , the assessment is passed."
After looking at the room, Xiao Heng looked at the stone platform in the center of the room, walked over, picked up the scroll and said, "Thank you, senior!" "
Then I wish you success in advance! The old man is waiting for you. Good news." The old man said with a smile. After saying that, he exited the room.
Xiao Heng opened the scroll. "Blood-generating elixir, second-grade elixir, materials, a first-level wood attribute magic core, blood-generating flower, cattail grass..."
This kind of elixir is not bad, but he has never refined it, but it doesn't matter, he puts the scroll close to his eyebrows...
"Master Otto, do you think he can succeed?" The old man and Otto stood in the next room, with a black wall in front of them. The strange thing is that from their side, it was clearly visible what Xiao Heng was doing. At this moment , the two of them were looking at Xiao Heng next door through the wall.
Otto looked at Xiao Heng solemnly, looking extremely nervous, as if it was not Xiao Heng who was taking the exam, but himself. "If he really succeeds, the Jiama Empire is likely to have another Furukawa! Let's wait and see...! I hope he can succeed!" The
old man also nodded. If Xiao Heng can succeed, it will be great. ! He also hopes that Xiao Heng will succeed. It will be a rare experience to be tested for a future alchemy master.
Xiao Heng, who started refining the medicinal materials, didn't know that two people were looking at him through a wall. The middle wall is cut out of a special kind of stone. One side can be seen, and the other side is completely dark.
Throw the medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron at once! Xiao Heng began to adjust the flame temperature. Each kind of medicinal material requires different temperatures in different elixirs. Different temperatures and roasting times can also extract different ingredients from the same medicinal material.
The only thing that is difficult to extract among these medicinal materials is the wood attribute magic core, but this difficulty is not a problem under the strange fire.
When the old man saw Xiao Heng throwing all the medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron, he clenched his fists anxiously and looked at Otto next to him, "He... this is it!" "Keep reading! If he does this, maybe he is sure of
himself ." Although Otto was also very nervous, Xiao Heng didn't look like he was messing around. Besides, he couldn't change anything, so he could only watch.
"Eh!" The old man said in annoyance like a son who failed to live up to expectations. In his opinion, this was nonsense, but since Otto said this, he could only continue reading. I hope he is really confident!
Flames rose in the medicine cauldron, and different medicinal materials were melting one by one. Then it began to turn into the medicinal liquid Xiao Heng needed.
For Xiao Heng, taking the apothecary exam was just a matter of convenience. Now for him, it is estimated that it would be no problem for him to take the fourth-grade alchemist exam. Whether he has an alchemist status recognized by the Alchemist Guild or not is not important to him. It is just a convenient thing. It is better if he has it, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
Under the control of the soul power, the globs of medicinal liquid began to slowly merge.
"It's begun...!" Otto felt nervous when he saw Xiao Heng starting to fuse the medicinal liquid. Xiao Heng's move of extracting all the medicinal materials at the same time scared him. He thought that Xiao Heng was impulsive because of the young man's impulsiveness, but after seeing Xiao Heng complete the extraction of the medicinal solution without any trouble, he realized that Xiao Heng was really confident in doing it.
In fact, when Xiao Heng completed the extraction of the medicinal solution, he knew that there should be no problem with Xiao Heng refining this second-grade elixir. Even if he failed this time, there were still two chances. Moreover, Xiao Heng's refining method and state, At first glance, it seems that he has not just become a second-grade alchemist. It is very likely that he has already refined many second-grade elixirs to be so proficient.
