Chapter 216: Alchemist Examination Institute, Alchemist Preparation

Alchemist Examination Institute.

"You can choose the materials for three body-quenching liquids. As long as you can successfully prepare a body-quenching liquid of qualified quality, you will be a qualified alchemist!"

The disciple from the Dan Pavilion Assessment Department pointed at the materials in front and said to Yang Xuan.

If you want to prove that you can prepare body-tempering liquid, you need to take an assessment at the Alchemist Assessment Office. After passing the assessment, you can get the corresponding alchemist level.

The body-tempering liquid is not considered an elixir, but it is also a part of the alchemist assessment process, and many alchemists have gone through this environment.

Even if you become a preparatory alchemist, although not yet a formal alchemist, it has been proven that you have the potential to make alchemy and you can get more training resources.

Previously, the new disciple Liu Zhifang quickly rose among the new disciples, and no old disciples dared to bully him, because he was a first-level alchemist and could refine alchemy pills, which was one level more difficult than Yang Xuan's body-tempering liquid.

After the other party successfully refined the pills to assist in external refining, he obtained the alchemist certificate from the Alchemist Assessment Institute, which is also the symbol of the alchemist, and obtained more cultivation resources from the Juling Shendan Peak.

They are all inner disciples. Previously, their comprehensive ratings were different, and the cultivation resources they could obtain were different. After joining the inner gate mountain, they will obtain additional resources based on their personal performance. The better the performance, the more cultivation resources they can obtain.

This happened after Liu Zhifang was promoted to a first-level alchemist, proving that he had potential as an alchemist and that Juling Shendan Peak would train him.

Yang Xuan also made several attempts and successfully brewed the body-tempering liquid before coming to the Alchemist Assessment Institute for the assessment.

After passing the assessment, he will also prove his potential in alchemy, his status will be improved, and he will be able to obtain more cultivation resources.

That's why Yang Xuan came here to take the test.

He must succeed once within three attempts. If he fails all the time, he cannot take the test again within half a year. This is also the rule of the Alchemist Examination Institute, to prevent people from attempting the test despite being incompetent.

The tools in the Alchemist Examination Institute are more complete and more detailed than those in Yang Xuan's residence, and can be used to better refine medicines.

As for the tool to boil the body-quenching medicine, Yang Xuan naturally chose an iron pot. Although there were better tools, he was more comfortable using the iron pot than others.

Under the observation of the disciples of the Alchemist Assessment Institute, Yang Xuan selected the materials for the body-quenching liquid, three in total, and then began to make a fire for preheating.

Everything went according to his previous pace. For him, as long as there were no major accidents, he would be able to successfully brew the body-tempering medicine. This was not difficult for him.

As spiritual materials were put into the iron pot one by one, the medicine liquid began to change. When everything was almost ready, he began to extinguish the flame, and waited until the quenching medicine liquid cooled down before pouring it out.

"The color is not clear enough. The body-quenching liquid has not been able to exert its full medicinal effect. The first attempt to refine the body-quenching liquid has failed!"

A disciple from the Alchemist Assessment Institute nearby picked up the cooled body-quenching liquid, observed it carefully, and gave his evaluation.

The final decision on whether one has passed the assessment is not just made by the disciple from the Alchemist Assessment Institute. This disciple is just the first step. If even this person does not approve, there is no need to let others conduct the examination.

Of course, if the person conducting the assessment has any opinions, he or she can ask the next level of personnel to observe.

However, those who refine the body-quenching liquid are all clear about the standards for passing the assessment, and they are naturally very clear whether the body-quenching liquid they refine has passed the assessment.

"You can wait for a quarter of an hour to adjust and then take the second assessment. Of course, you can also continue now. During this process, if you have any opinions about my assessment, you can raise them now."

The disciple from the Alchemist Assessment Institute continued to speak to Yang Xuan.

Everything is done according to the rules of the Alchemist Assessment Institute.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother. I have no objection. I just want to make some adjustments first."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuan spoke slowly.

After the quenching liquid cooled down, he knew the result. The clarity was still a little lacking.

If it were in Linghe Sect, this kind of body-quenching liquid would be enough. However, in Zifu Holy Land, this level of body-quenching liquid is not enough and requires a higher degree of clarity.

He had previously brewed a body-quenching liquid, which was also clearer than the one he had just brewed.

It's not that there's something wrong with his abilities.

Rather, the problem was caused by being in different environments and using different iron pots. The timing and temperature were not controlled well, which resulted in the quenching liquid being unclear and the efficacy being greatly weakened.

He didn't continue to simmer it now, as he was thinking about the few points that he had not controlled well just now.

The people at the Alchemist Assessment Institute may have taken this into consideration, and therefore gave these assessees three chances, with a margin for error.

Yang Xuan closed his eyes and rested, thinking about the entire process of refining the body-tempering liquid.

The disciples of the Alchemist Examination Institute were not surprised to see this. After all, there were many people coming to the Alchemist Examination Institute for examination. He had seen many of them and knew that this was to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

This process is also an opportunity for these examinees to further enhance their alchemy abilities, quickly integrate the problems encountered in the process of refining the body-quenching liquid, and then quickly find solutions, and finally successfully brew the body-quenching liquid.

As for those who fail, it also means that their talent in alchemy is not that high, which will lower the evaluation of these examinees in alchemy.

After Yang Xuan and other new disciples joined the Soul Gathering Divine Dan Peak, everything they did would be evaluated and would eventually become part of their overall potential.

After a certain period of time, resources will be allocated and tasks will be arranged according to their respective potential.

Some tasks in the Zifu Holy Land can be chosen by oneself, while some tasks are arranged directly by the sect.

While obtaining the sect's cultivation resources, one naturally also needs to serve the sect. After all, the sect is not a place of charity, but to cultivate suitable disciples. Those unsuitable disciples will naturally not receive more training, but instead these people will serve the sect and bring corresponding value to the sect.

Therefore, if you want to get more resources for training, you need to always show enough potential to get the sect's training. At the same time, you need to rise quickly in the process of training and become a senior figure in the sect. Then you will be forced to assign tasks.

After all, when you are in a higher position, it is not about adapting to the rules, but about making the rules.

Yang Xuan didn't think for long. After recalling the entire process of refining the body-quenching liquid, he found several problems and had solutions in mind.

He was very familiar with the entire process of refining the body-quenching liquid.

There is no problem in selecting the materials for making the quenching liquid, so the problem lies in the making process.

Although Yang Xuan felt that there was no problem in choosing the materials, he still checked the herbs again when he started again to prevent himself from making mistakes when selecting them.

After careful observation and confirmation that there was no problem with the materials of the quenching liquid, Yang Xuan started to make a fire again, then began to control the temperature, and then placed the materials of the quenching liquid in order again.

When Yang Xuan was making the body-quenching liquid this time, he made some changes to the temperature control process and the placement time. Previously, when he was making the body-quenching liquid at his residence, he also solved the problems he encountered step by step. The problems he encountered now were also encountered before, so it was not difficult for him.

The same problem can be solved quickly once it is recognized.

When the quenching medicine was almost cooked, Yang Xuan began to turn off the fire and waited for the quenching medicine to cool down before pouring it out.

In the pure white ceramic bowl, a fresh fragrance emerged, and the bottom was clear. Seeing this, Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

There were no mistakes in the whole process of refining the body-quenching liquid this time, and it was worth his checking again from the beginning of selecting the materials.

"The fragrance of the medicine is faint, the liquid is clear, and the efficacy is fine. I have passed the assessment."

"But Junior Brother Yang, please wait a moment. There will be second-level and third-level alchemists coming to check. After all of them approve you, you will be considered to have passed the preparatory alchemist assessment and officially promoted to a preparatory alchemist."

The disciple from the Dan Pavilion Assessment Department looked at Yang Xuan and spoke slowly.

After evaluating Yang Xuan and finding him to be qualified, he had someone notify the alchemists in the Dan Pavilion's assessment department.

The reason for this arrangement is to ensure fairness and prevent people from saying that there is a backdoor in the alchemy assessment.

For an alchemist, his abilities are obvious. If he is good, he is good; if he is not, he is not. It is easy to tell.

"Excuse me, senior brother!"

Yang Xuan clasped his fists and replied.

He was very confident about his assessment results, because the body-quenching liquid he brewed this time was of high completion and there was no problem using it for the assessment.

Some aspiring alchemists may not be able to brew a body-tempering liquid of such clarity and efficacy.

Unless someone is deliberately targeting you, if there are any objections in the Alchemist Assessment Institute, you can ask a higher-level alchemist to investigate. This is also a preparation to prevent some people from suppressing potential alchemists.

When something happens, the Alchemist Examination Institute will make corresponding changes. After all, the Juling Shendan Peak is for training alchemists, not suppressing alchemists with potential, so the Alchemist Examination Institute will favor alchemists with potential.

Furthermore, after Yang Xuan joined the Soul Gathering Divine Dan Peak, he had always kept a low profile and had never offended anyone. Even when he was bullied, he did not resist, like an honest man who had no power to resist.

All the preparations Yang Xuan made were for now, because he didn't want any accidents to happen in the process of becoming a core disciple or alchemist.

Temporary oppression is nothing, he can endure it because his future is very bright. As long as he can rise, these hardships will become a small part of his growth experience.

Yang Xuan did not think that he had the talent and ability to be like the protagonists in those picture books, killing anyone who stood in his way.

He is also a man of flesh and blood. He does not have an invincible backer, nor is he immortal. Therefore, on his path to growth, he needs to pay attention to other people.

Especially when he is still weak, he must prevent those who are also weak from holding him back.

These people couldn't help him, but they might hold him back.

Just like Song Yi and others, they formed a small group, and then they made different choices. If Yang Xuan forcibly disagreed with these people's withdrawal, it would not only be useless, but these people might cause trouble for him, affecting his daily practice, studying books related to alchemy, and brewing body-quenching medicine.

If he joined them, it would slow down his progress even more.

Yang Xuan was very clear that the newcomer to the group had to show some value by giving out some sect contribution points and cultivation resources. He also needed to do something for the small group, such as running errands, in order to demonstrate a certain value to the small group before he could be integrated into it.

Therefore, at the beginning, this period of time will be quite tiring, and it will also affect your martial arts practice and your learning of alchemy-related knowledge. This is the price you have to pay for integrating into the group.

The same goes for Song Yi and others. If Yang Xuan was the same as these people, the time he would take to brew the body-tempering medicine would definitely be delayed.

Not long after, two alchemists came over. Both of them had the symbol of an alchemy furnace on their chests. One had two elixir patterns on his chest, and the other had three elixir patterns on his chest. They were a second-level alchemist and a third-level alchemist respectively. This is also the easiest way to confirm the level of an alchemist in the Juling Shendan Peak.

The logo on the chest is right there!

"Master Alchemist Song, Master Alchemist Li, this is the body-hardening liquid that Junior Brother Yang just refined. You two alchemists are needed to evaluate it and see if it passes the assessment for reserve alchemists."

When the disciples of the Alchemist Examination Institute saw the two people coming, they walked over with great respect.

In the Juling Shendan Peak, the status and position of alchemists are higher. The higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the status.

"They asked us to come over again. It seems that there are some good talents in our town again!"

Seeing this, Master Song Dan said with a smile.

Several people are familiar with each other and have a good relationship.

Then the man walked to the body-quenching liquid refined by Yang Xuan, smelled it, observed it carefully, and then gave it to another Master Li.

They can make a rough judgement about the medicinal liquid just by smell and sight. Of course, this is also related to their familiarity with the body-quenching medicinal liquid.

They had refined it countless times before, so naturally they could judge it quickly now.

"Yes, this body-hardening liquid has a high degree of completion. There is no problem on my side, you can pass it!"

Master Song Dan and Master Li Dan looked at each other and spoke slowly.

"There is no problem on my side. This junior brother can pass the assessment of a candidate alchemist and become a candidate alchemist!"

Master Li Dan also followed suit.

The situation of the body-tempering liquid was there. To be honest, the two were a little surprised at the degree of completion, because these were people who came for the assessment, not those experienced aspiring alchemists.

If a person is a candidate for alchemy and has accumulated experience over a long period of time, it is normal for him to be able to brew a highly complete body-quenching liquid. However, it is rare among disciples who are undergoing assessments.

From this, we can also indirectly see that Yang Xuan has some talent in alchemy, and the possibility of him becoming an alchemist is greater than others.

"Then congratulations, Junior Brother Yang, you have passed the preparatory alchemist assessment. You will be the preparatory alchemist of our Juling Shendan Peak in the future. I hope Junior Brother Yang will continue to work hard and be promoted to an alchemist as soon as possible."

Upon seeing this, the disciples at the Alchemist Assessment Office announced with a smile.
