I use the entry-level skills to create longevity

Chapter 237: One-year assessment, handy

Rising Sun Pavilion.

"Today marks the day you have been studying at the Rising Sun Pavilion for a year, and it is also the day you need to take a test on your alchemy skills."

"As long as you can refine a qualified body-quenching liquid, you can be promoted to a reserve alchemist at the Rising Sun Pavilion. The alchemists at the Alchemist Assessment Institute will evaluate you based on how well you refine the body-quenching liquid."

"Of course, those who have passed the preliminary alchemist assessment at the Alchemist Assessment Institute before now only need to refine a qualified body-tempering liquid medicine today."

"Those who have not passed the preliminary alchemist assessment and cannot refine qualified body-hardening liquid medicine today will not be able to attend classes at the Rising Sun Pavilion in the future!"

"The best choice is to follow the lineage of Dharma protectors."

Master Xu Dan looked at Yang Xuan and other new disciples and spoke slowly.

He had said this before.

He has explained in detail the knowledge related to refining the body-quenching liquid, the refining process, the points that need to be paid attention to in refining, the points where mistakes are most likely to be made in refining, etc. He has basically taught all the knowledge that can be taught!
He has revealed everything without hiding anything. Under such circumstances, he has not been able to refine a body-tempering liquid of qualified quality within a year. This basically proves that this person is not very talented in refining pills, and it is very difficult for him to be promoted to an alchemist.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally not suitable for me to follow the path of an alchemist. During the period of time when I become a new disciple, I might as well try other paths. Then I may be able to find a more suitable path.

There is no need to continue spending energy on becoming an alchemist.

Such an arrangement at this time is actually a good thing for those who still insist on following the lineage of alchemists. It is also a way to face reality.

"So, today you have to do your best to show what you have learned during this period. For some of you, this is the last chance!"

Master Xu Dan said earnestly.

This is a watershed moment for the new disciples who come to participate in the assessment, especially those who have not yet been able to refine the body-quenching liquid.

Without the help of the alchemists in the Xuri Pavilion, it would be more difficult to become an alchemist. Although it is not to say that there is no hope, if one has not been promoted to a reserve alchemist even with the guidance of the alchemists in the Xuri Pavilion, then it would be even more difficult to become a reserve alchemist without the guidance of these alchemists.

Not to mention that a preparatory alchemist is not considered a real alchemist. Only when he can refine pills can he be considered a formal alchemist. The difficulty of reaching this step continues to increase. When there is no one to guide, the difficulty is even greater!
Yang Xuan went through these processes step by step, so he was very clear about the difficulty of these steps.

At this time, he was refining the Bone Strengthening Pills without the guidance of an alchemist, and he was very clear about how many problems he encountered. This was the case even after he was promoted to a first-level alchemist, not to mention those who had not yet been promoted to a reserve alchemist.

Therefore, he could understand the intention of Master Xu Dan's words. Of course, whether they could listen to him in the end depended on the choice of the new disciples!
Some people go all the way to the end, and there is nothing much to say. After all, it is a personal choice, and everyone's goals and naturally the paths they choose to take are different.

"Next, you can proceed with today's assessment!"

Master Xu Dan glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.

The assessment location was in the lobby where they, the new disciples, had been trained to refine body-tempering liquid. They had been asked to come here and try it out when they had been studying for half a year. In the following six months, they had also come here several times, so Yang Xuan and the others were not unfamiliar with this place.

Each of them was very skilled in choosing iron pots, alchemy furnaces, wood and other things.

As for the spiritual materials for refining the body-quenching liquid, they are delivered by people arranged by Master Xu. Each person has three portions of materials for refining the body-quenching liquid. If you feel that the materials for the pill recipe are insufficient, you can go to the public area for storing spiritual materials to supplement a small portion of the spiritual materials, but the quantity cannot be too large.

In the end, everyone can refine the body-quenching medicine three times. If they fail to refine the body-quenching medicine after three attempts, they will be considered as having failed the assessment and will not be able to come to Xuri Pavilion to study anymore.

This is still the case even if you pass the preparatory alchemist assessment later. You cannot be arranged in if you do not meet the requirements.

After Master Xu finished speaking, Yang Xuan found the familiar iron pot and picked it up directly. Then he picked up some nearby wood and brought what he needed to the place where he had previously refined the body-quenching liquid.

Although he spent most of his energy on refining bone-strengthening pills during this period, he would complete the task of refining body-tempering liquid and tendon-strengthening pills every month. After all, the rewards for the tasks were there. He did not spend too much energy on these two kinds of pills, but there was still some improvement.

This is the improvement brought about by the increase in the number of refining times. Although Yang Xuan doesn't care so much, the improvement in alchemy ability is naturally a good thing for him.

The only thing that disappointed him was that the process of refining the bone-strengthening pills was not very smooth. Although there was some progress, he failed in the end!
The difficulty of refining bone-strengthening pills was greater than he had expected.

However, at this time, Yang Xuan did not think too much about these things. After all, it was not yet time for him to refine the bone-strengthening pills. He only needed to refine the body-quenching liquid of qualified quality to complete this assessment.

After passing it, the next step is to learn to be a formal alchemist. By then, there will be more content involved, which is also advanced knowledge. It will definitely help him to refine the Bone Strengthening Pills.

Although the process of refining the bone-strengthening pills will not be taught directly, there will be some knowledge related to refining the tendon-strengthening pills and bone-strengthening pills that can be of some help to him.

Yang Xuan has been reading books on alchemy during this period and has learned a lot, but he does not have a thorough understanding of some of the knowledge. Without anyone to guide him, he has no way to solve the problem.

Actually, Yang Xuan wanted those books related to alchemy to appear on the panel, so that he could directly upgrade to the perfect level. Then he would be able to understand the knowledge that he had not fully comprehended. However, the result was very different from what he expected. During this period of time, no additional knowledge related to alchemy appeared on the panel.

So his idea of ​​using the panel to help him improve failed!
It is somewhat uncertain to have these books related to alchemy appear on the panel. They are not as intuitive as the exercises, and the progress cannot be felt. Therefore, Yang Xuan has no better way and can only read books related to alchemy when he has time.

At the same time, in order to solve the doubts in his mind, he would also read new books related to alchemy. He did not spend so much energy on the same book.

Although repeated research has its benefits, what Yang Xuan needs more at this time is to absorb more knowledge to resolve the doubts in his mind, solve the problems encountered in refining the Bone Strengthening Pills, and finally refine the pill he wants.

After selecting the spiritual materials needed for the pill recipe, lighting the firewood and heating the iron pot, Yang Xuan was very familiar with these steps and could do them with ease.

He has performed each step many times, and as the number of times increases, it has naturally become a habit.

This is the case with alchemists. After refining alchemy many times, they will integrate all the processes into habits and develop their own unique alchemy style.

After the fire temperature was almost under control, Yang Xuan began to place the spiritual materials. When it was almost ready, he followed the order he had arranged them in, putting in the spiritual materials he had prepared step by step. Everything was arranged in a well-paced manner.

After finally taking out the firewood and waiting for the iron pot to cool, Yang Xuan had already prepared the tools to place the quenching liquid. Although the quenching liquid had not yet been completely formed, he had already roughly determined its quality.

The quality should be at the boutique level, a little bit above the 80 boutique level. This is also the improvement brought about by the tasks he completed during this period. Although he did not spend too much energy, it still improved.

And this time, for the assessment of refining the body-quenching liquid, he only needed to refine a body-quenching liquid of 60 passing quality. In other words, the quality of the body-quenching liquid he refined this time far exceeded the assessment requirements!
After the quenching liquid had completely cooled down, Yang Xuan poured it into the prepared container. After a quick inspection, he confirmed that the result was similar to what he expected.

The quality of the body-quenching liquid has reached 82, which is over 80 fine quality. This is a normal performance because his normal level now is at this level.

After Yang Xuan finished refining the medicine, he raised his hand to signal so as not to affect others who were refining the body-quenching medicine.

Raising your hand means that the refining is completed, and you need to submit the refined body-quenching liquid. Then someone will come to collect the body-quenching liquid, and then you can just leave with them!
Soon, a servant came to Yang Xuan, took the body-quenching liquid prepared by Yang Xuan, and took Yang Xuan to the location of several alchemists.

The people who will evaluate the results today are the people from the Alchemist Assessment Institute. If someone has not passed the assessment for a preparatory alchemist before, he or she can be directly promoted to a preparatory alchemist if he or she can refine a body-quenching liquid of qualified quality.

The lobby of the Rising Sun Pavilion is equivalent to a large-scale assessment site. Of course, for Yang Xuan and others who have been promoted to first-level alchemists, it is equivalent to demonstrating their strength and refining qualified quality of body-quenching medicine.

Of course, the better the quality of the body-quenching liquid, the better!

After all, these assessments will have some scoring, and they will be scored accordingly based on the results. Those with higher scores can obtain more cultivation resources.

Yang Xuan was also aware of this situation, so when he was refining the body-tempering liquid, he demonstrated his current abilities, but he did not change his daily schedule because of this.

After all, those with high scores will not get too many cultivation resources. Instead, if he improves step by step, and there is a qualitative improvement, he will be able to obtain more cultivation resources. Yang Xuan is naturally very clear about these gaps.

Therefore, he did not spend too much energy on refining the body-quenching liquid. Moreover, after reaching the fine level, it would be much more difficult to improve the quality of the body-quenching liquid.

There is only a 80-point difference between premium quality 90 and perfect quality 10, but the time and energy required are completely at a completely different level. The more time passes, the harder it is to improve. Even if Yang Xuan can refine a perfect quality body-quenching liquid, it will not help him much, and is far less than the benefits of refining bone-strengthening pills.

Therefore, it was very easy for Yang Xuan to make a choice!

"Yes, this body-hardening liquid medicine is of high quality. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into it!"

"You have passed the assessment, and you are now a first-level alchemist. From now on, you should focus more on refining tendon-strengthening pills and bone-strengthening pills. This is the key to your promotion to a second-level alchemist."

"No problem on my end, you did a great job."

"Can."

After several alchemists from the Alchemist Examination Institute checked the body-quenching medicine prepared by Yang Xuan, all of them passed.

There will be comments and suggestions in the middle, but basically there are no problems.

"Yang Xuan, you have passed this year's assessment. You can continue to attend classes at the Rising Sun Pavilion."

"The lectures will be held in the lobby next to the hall. You have seen it before."

"Your assessment is completed today, and you only need to wait for the new course schedule in a week!"

After several alchemists at the Alchemist Assessment Institute finished their comments, Master Xu said to Yang Xuan.

He was not surprised that Yang Xuan was able to pass the assessment. After all, Yang Xuan was already a first-level alchemist. It would be a problem if he still couldn't pass the assessment.

What surprised him was that Yang Xuan had improved the quality of the body-quenching liquid to a high-quality level. He remembered that when Yang Xuan had refined the body-quenching liquid before, he had not yet produced a high-quality level of body-quenching liquid.

In his opinion, it should be Yang Xuan's effort for this assessment. He has no objection to this behavior.

After all, the higher the assessment score, the more resources will be allocated in the end, which is of great benefit to Yang Xuan, so there is no problem in working hard for it.

Among the few people who had previously refined body-tempering liquid, there were also people who had refined body-tempering liquid of top-grade level. Although there were not many of them, Yang Xuan's was not that eye-catching.

"Thank you, Master Xu, for your guidance over the past year!"

Yang Xuan bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He was able to refine the body-quenching medicine thanks to the guidance of Master Xu and others, who carefully explained the process of refining the body-quenching medicine, as well as the study of relevant spiritual materials and the combination of medicinal properties. Only based on the learning of this knowledge was he able to refine the body-quenching medicine.

Even though he is now a first-level alchemist, Master Xu's previous teachings have been of great help to him.

"It's okay. This is also our responsibility."

"Go back and spend more energy on refining tendon-strengthening pills and bone-strengthening pills. These pills will be more helpful to you now and will also help you to be promoted to a second-level alchemist."

Master Xu smiled with satisfaction, and then saw another person coming over, obviously someone had refined the body-quenching liquid, so he waved at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan left the Rising Sun Pavilion with the expression on his face remaining the same, without much change.

Passing the test was something he had expected, so there was no need for him to be too happy. Besides, as Master Xu and others had suggested to him, he would need to put more of his energy into refining the Bone Strengthening Pills.

He had to complete this step before he could be promoted to the second-level alchemist before he could try to refine the nourishing elixir and work hard to be promoted to the second-level alchemist.

So he still has to move forward step by step.
