Dou Po, this Xun'er is so weird

Chapter 42 Open a small stove
  One month before each alchemist conference, the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild will hold an additional alchemist grade assessment, in order to give those alchemists who want to participate in the conference but have not obtained the grade in time a chance.

According to the rules of the Alchemist Guild, if you want to participate in the Alchemist Conference, you must at least reach the level of a second-grade alchemist. Otherwise, you will just go through the motions, wasting time and effort.

On the day of the assessment, Xiao Yi came to the Alchemist Guild wearing very low-key clothes, used purple fire to resolve the guard's obstruction, and used luck to get over the registrar's shock, and finally successfully entered the assessment venue for the first-grade alchemist.

The spacious hall was illuminated by bright lights as if it were daytime. In the center of the hall, in front of the stone platform shrouded by a transparent light curtain, Xiao Yi silently read the first-grade prescription in front of him, and then silently put the ingredients on the prescription into the test pot. In the cauldron, the purple fire was quietly summoned and refined one by one.

He originally wanted to rub the elixir directly with his hands and finish the exam early, but when he thought about it carefully, it was just a small grade exam, not an alchemist conference. To do such a high-profile thing would not only attract attention to himself, but also give him a high profile. Apart from the pressure, there are no other benefits at all. It is really unnecessary.

But even though Xiao Yi had kept a low profile so far, he was still being targeted.

Outside the stone platform where the candidates were refining medicine, the dozens of alchemists who were invigilating the examination, except for a white-haired old man, all of them had their eyes fixed on the purple fire summoned by Xiao Yi, and they spoke in their hearts. With unanimous sighs.

Being able to master a special kind of flame at such a young age will surely make him a great person in the future!
  And the only white-haired old man who didn't look at Zi Huo was looking down at the Xiao Yi registration information in his hand...

Xiao Yi, sixteen years old, mentor... Heiye.

"You kid, your face is really thicker than the city wall..."

Yao Lao's very slight soul message sounded in his mind. Xiao Yi just rolled his eyes speechlessly and replied with his soul power: "You are also the bravest of the three armies. There are so many alchemists here with extraordinary soul perception. The dignified Yao Zun You actually complained about me because of a mentor name, why, you want me to write Yaochen?"

"Write a ghost about you."

Seeing Xiao Yi's arrogant look, Yao Lao rolled his eyes angrily and said: "But you might as well write about Heiye, so as to save others from asking questions, because you are Heiye's disciple, and Heiye is here." To help the Xiao family gain benefits in front of the royal family, this lie is quite convincing."

"Don't complain. I won't be able to hold you back until someone finds out."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes angrily, took the refined elixir out of the medicine cauldron, put it into a jade bottle for examination, and then folded his hands in boredom, waiting for the examiner to come and accept it.

The top student who finished writing his answer sheet in advance was really lonely!
  Just when the time for acceptance was still thousands of miles away, among the examiners outside Shitai, the white-haired old man who had been reading Xiao Yi's information suddenly walked up, stretched out his withered hand towards him and said: " I am Chemir, the vice-president of the Alchemist Guild, little guy, please bring me the elixir you refined."

The vice president took the lead in collecting papers in advance?
  Xiao Yi took a moment to look at the white-haired old man and saw that he was wearing an alchemist's robe that was much more delicate than other alchemists. There were four silver patterns on his chest that shimmered slightly. He was clearly a fourth-grade alchemist.

To be honest, the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire is somewhat weak, and the vice-guild president is only at the fourth level...

Xiao Yi nodded and politely handed over the jade bottle containing the elixir. Chemir took the jade bottle and poured out the elixir. He saw that there was an extremely rich elixir surrounding the elixir. Pattern.

Pill patterns will only appear when the quality of the pill is refined to its peak. It is impossible for a novice who is new to refining pills to refine it. The Xiao Yi in front of him is indeed the disciple of the black-robed master.

I just didn't expect that the black-robed master was not only powerful, but also an alchemist. It was really terrifying!
  Thinking about it, Chemir couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Looking at Xiao Yi, his eyes suddenly showed some respect. He smiled and said: "Little guy, you have passed the assessment. Come with me."

Come with you? If you pass the exam, shouldn't you wait for other candidates to finish the exam and then receive the alchemist uniform and badge together? The vice-president messed up the procedures on the spot. You are afraid that I am not well-known enough...

So, Xiao Yi followed Chemir and left the examination room under the gaze of a lot of eyes. After he left, there was a burst of ghostly cries and howls among the candidates. “Damn it, my medicinal materials are useless again!”

……

Following Chemil, Xiao Yi was not taken to the office, but to another room that looked like an examination room.

"Little guy, you came here to take the grade exam this time because you want to sign up for the Alchemist Conference, right?"

After bringing Xiao Yi to the hall, Qie Mier smiled and asked straight to the point.

Is this guy going to start a small stove for me?

Seeing Chemil's rather enthusiastic look, Xiao Yi just nodded. Then, Chemel smiled as expected: "Then you are going to take the second-grade alchemist examination, right?"

Xiao Yi nodded again, and Chemir continued: "Well, I will give you a test question here. If you can pass it successfully, I will directly grant you the second-grade alchemist badge and recommend you to the alchemist." How about the Pharmacist Conference?”

As expected, I was called over to open the small stove. It seems that there is really a backstage to do things...

Hearing this, Xiao Yi showed some gratitude and said directly to Chemir: "Thank you, Vice President, for your care. I will try my best to pass the assessment."

"You little guy, you really are a quiet person."

Seeing Xiao Yi's cheerful acceptance, Chemir just smiled blankly and pointed to the left side of the hall, where many black curtains hung on the wall: "There are separate rooms behind those curtains, which are the assessment for qualifying for the Alchemist Conference. site.

I will give you the test questions and materials for this assessment. You can just find a venue to take the assessment in advance. "

As he spoke, Chemir took out a medicinal cauldron for assessment from Najie, and a stack of medicinal materials that looked like black charcoal and said: "This is the black iron spirit leaf, as long as you can make it effective before I call stop." If you refine it five times, I will consider you to have passed."

Refined the Black Iron Spirit Leaf five times?

Xiao Yi was slightly startled when he heard the conditions given by Chemil. The black iron spirit leaf is said to be the most resistant to calcination among conventional medicinal materials. If you want to refine it by five, let alone a second-grade alchemist who meets the qualifications for the competition. , even a third-grade alchemist may not be able to do it.

This vice president simply wants to test my medicine refining skills...

Hey, let him try. Anyway, he wants to be in the limelight at the alchemist conference, so it’s not a big problem.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi nodded and took the medicine cauldron and materials from Chemil's hand, picked a room in the corner and walked in.
