Chapter 20 Exam Begins
Tables were arranged in the courtyard, each table with the corresponding student's name written on it, and a bronze alchemy furnace. Chen Xuejian found his place to stand.
After a hustle and bustle, it became quiet again.
"Okay, it's all here!"
Xie Feihong stood up, stood in front, looked around, and shouted: "I believe you have already asked about today's exam, so I will briefly explain the rules."
"The five basic skills of alchemy: material refining, heat control, fusion of pharmaceuticals, sublimation of essence and elixir cultivation. Starting from material refining, each exam time is three hours."
"The scores are four grades: poor, average, good, and excellent. Those who reach good can enter the next round, and the eliminated ones leave their position. Those who pass all the exams can be assigned to lower-level classes."
"I would like to remind you that the temperature control starts from the first round to the last round to make a comprehensive evaluation."
"I wish you all good luck!"
Xie Feihong paused for a moment and then shouted: "The exam begins, light incense!"
A teacher immediately lit a three-meter-high sandalwood in the middle of the hall. This was the time-calling incense, and one was just burned in three hours.
The moment the sandalwood was lit, all the students pressed their hands on the bronze alchemy furnace on the table, and some of them were even lifted up and held them in their palms.
This alchemy furnace is only one and a half feet tall and only one foot in diameter. The shape and technology are very simple, and it is specially used for new students. This alchemy furnace can only refine the lowest level of elixirs, but the requirements for users are also very low.
The first step in alchemy is to refine the alchemy furnace. The time is only three hours, and it is very important to race against time.
But in a moment, someone emitted light from his palm and successfully refined it. With such a fast speed, his talent must be outstanding.
Chen Xuejian looked over in the light and found that the refiner was not Xia Anjun, but a child who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.
Who is this guy? Chen Xuejian was surprised because he had never seen this person before. It should be as Liu Wenhao said that some truly capable people came here today.
Soon, light flashed again, and this time it was Xia Anjun. After a while, lights became more and more.
Most of these people are unfamiliar faces, and they are refining at a very fast speed and have extraordinary strength.
"Calm your mind, calm your mind..."
After chanting silently for a while, Chen Xuejian became embarrassed again because he really didn't know how to refine the alchemy furnace. When he took the corresponding course a few times, he tried it several times, but he didn't succeed.
What should I do... Chen Xuejian had a headache and could only imitate others to press his hand on the alchemy furnace.
"Do you need to borrow the power of Huntian Creation Furnace to use?"
The sound of the Northern Lights system suddenly sounded, which made Chen Xuejian's heart beat like thunder: Can this thing actually borrow power from?
There is another village with dark willows and flowers, so how could I think too much? Chen Xuejian chose to make sure without hesitation.
After confirming, another prompt popped up: the energy required for each power loan is 100 basic energy multiplied by the refining coefficient, and divided by level three. For example, it takes 100 points of energy to refine level one, two and three pills, 1000 points of energy to refine level four, five and six pills, and 10,000 points of energy to refine level seven, eight and nine pills, and the refining tools are similar.
"A good intention reminds you, if you are not particularly needed, try to refine it in Ziyun, which can save energy!"
"nonsense!"
Chen Xuejian cursed in his heart, saying that this plug-in is good, it’s just a waste of money.
No matter how much you scold, you still have to use it.
After choosing to confirm, Chen Xuejian immediately felt a heat flow appearing in his palm and pouring into the bronze alchemy furnace in front of him.
The moment the bronze alchemy furnace emitted the refining light, Chen Xuejian felt strange. The bronze alchemy furnace in front of him seemed to be connected with the Huntian Creation Furnace between the purple spirits.
"How could it be!"
Zheng Wei, who was standing beside him, looked surprised and even screamed. Chen Xuejian had not succeeded in refining the alchemy furnace a few days ago, so almost everyone had already judged that this person was indeed only a side-minded person and was not really good at alchemy.
At this time, Chen Xuejian successfully refined it. Although he was a little later than him, he succeeded after all, and it exceeded 60% to 70% of the people in the compound.
This person's exclamation made Chen Xuejian suddenly react: With the help of the power of the purple spirit, he could pass the exam in a very short time, but this would be too abnormal and definitely inappropriate.
"It's better to make time relatively normal!"
After refining, it is the fire that starts. It is not difficult to start a fire. It can be done as long as the first level of the Qi Refining Period is the maintenance.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to maintain the alchemy furnace for one day when refining a furnace. With the strength of an alchemist in the Qi Refining Stage, it would be quite good to be able to last for five hours. For example, Chen Xuejian, a novice who is at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage, may have to be turned off in less than half an hour.
Fortunately, there are other ways to make up for it: Yuan Crystal.
Yuan Crystal is pure energy. After being placed in the alchemy furnace, it can maintain the fire of the furnace. Although this effect is far less than that of the alchemist's own true qi fire, it is worse than that of the one that cannot be refined. Moreover, if you refine low-level elixirs, one Yuan Crystal is enough, and you won't be able to afford it.
Chen Xuejian transformed into flames with the true qi in his body, and then put a Yuan crystal stone in it. The flames slowly radiated and emitted a blue light.
The freshman's examination is the most basic first-level elixir, Qi Recovery Pill, which can restore some true qi. It requires four materials, and is ready on the table.
Put four materials into the alchemy furnace, and the prompt sound immediately popped up in the purple spirit: refining blood and qi pills, one hundred energy; refining materials, fifty energy.
It actually requires fifty energy... Chen Xuejian is no longer able to complain about this system that costs money. He immediately put the fifty yuan crystal in, but he didn't choose anything and just waited.
Time passed little by little, and an hour later, two people finished work almost at the same time, namely Xia Anjun and the boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old.
"This person is so talented!"
Chen Xuejian sighed in his heart that the child was a little faster than Xia Anjun, and he was only twelve or thirteen years old. Even if he was exactly like Xia Anjun, he had surpassed him in all aspects of talent.
Others also thought so, and their eyes were almost focused on the children.
A teacher went over to judge and immediately gave the result: "Tang Jiaheng, excellent. Xia Anjun, excellent!"
Excellent is already the top score, which is surprising.
Immediately someone made a more surprised voice: "Tang Jiaheng, it's the boy from the Tang family in the Hegu!"
"Isn't the Tang family in Hegu, isn't the sword cultivator famous? Why did he come to Dantang!"
The Tang family in the Hegu is extremely famous in the northern area and is one of the great families. However, the Tang family is a famous swordsman. As an outstanding disciple of the Tang family, Tang Jiaheng actually entered the Dan Hall of Qinglan Academy. It is really strange. What's even more strange is that Tang Jiaheng's talent for alchemy seems to be better than Xia Anjun, who has long been famous.
Amid the discussion of everyone, after a long time, some people began to refine it successfully, almost all of which achieved good results.
About an hour and a half later, Zheng Wei, who was standing aside, successfully refined the results and the result was good. After meeting the standards, he looked at Chen Xuejian with a sneer, with great smugness in his eyes.
Chen Xuejian pretended that he didn't see it, but just looked at Jishixiang. After about two and a half hours, he chose to make sure.
"There is insufficient energy, it requires fifty energy!"
The sound of the intelligent immortal cultivation system was shocked by Chen Xuejian. He clearly remembered that he had already put 50 yuan crystals before, and from the remaining yuan crystals, there were fifty yuan irregularities.
But at this time it seemed that it was not the time to think too much, so I could only put another fifty yuan crystal in and then choose to confirm.
"Flame control is activated, please select the refining level. Tip: Level 1 is the worst, level 5 is the highest."
Five choices appear, level one to level five.
"Damn it, there is also flame control, no wonder I have asked for fifty yuan more crystals!"
Based on the principle of low-key, Chen Xuejian was about to choose Level 4 when he suddenly thought of something: According to the situation of the intelligent immortal cultivation system, the highest level 5 should be excellent, then Level 4 is excellent, and Level 3 is good.
Immediately prepared to choose Level 3, but I thought of one thing: If I guessed wrongly, Level 5 is excellent, Level 4 is good, and Level 3 is unqualified and I will be eliminated.
Thinking about it from both sides, for the sake of safety, I chose Level 4. Then I chose the level of refining, which is also Level 4.
"Please select the refining time..."
Sure enough, he was smart and could still choose time... Chen Xuejian complained in his heart that he would not have been pretending to wait if he had known. He immediately chose for ten minutes, and after a while, the refinement was successful.
After the teacher was evaluated, the answer was given: "Chen Xuejian, excellent!"
For a moment, many eyes were attracted, and Zheng Wei, who was beside him, turned dark and shouted directly.
Chapter completed!
