Just like that, ti seed to fly by, and in the blink of an eye, the second day arrived.
As expected, Yang Chen arrived at the alchemy assessnt site.
Comparatively speaking, there were fewer people participating in the alchemy assessnt than the martial arts one. However, there were still quite a number of them. When Yang Chen arrived at the assessnt site, there were at least a hundred people.
At the mont, ti was very close to the start of the assessnt, and many examiners and judges were ready.
Compared to the martial arts assessnt, there were more examiners in the alchemy assessnt.
That’s because alchemy is not like martial arts. Both the techniques and the skills are man-made, and many examiners and judges are needed to appraise and clearly verify a person’s alchemy level in various aspects.
The Chief Examiner was fully prepared. Seeing that it was about ti, and the examinees had all arrived, he coughed twice and said, “Before the assessnt begins, let explain the rules for this alchemy assessnt. It’s different from the martial arts assessnt – there are three alchemy assessnts in total!”
As the Chief Examiner spoke, his expression beca more and more serious.
With a stern gaze, he said authoritatively, “These three assessnts consist of
Material Collection, Fire Control, and the final Pill Refinent!”
“As for the Material Collection assessnt, it’s very simple. We will provide different elixir recipes, and you have to extract the materials required for refining the elixirs from the recipes. So materials may need to be replaced, and a variety of others may be involved. If you want to satisfy the judges, you must be ticulous and comprehensive!” the Chief Examiner stated with an indifferent expression.
“Everyone knows about the Fire Control assessnt. We will provide a pill furnace that is about to explode, and what is being tested is purely your fire control technique. The better your fire control technique, the more you can gradually reverse the situation with the exploding furnace, making it more and more stable. If your fire control is inadequate, the furnace will explode!”
“As for the Pill Refinent assessnt, we examiners and judges will provide a pill formula, and you will refine a specific elixir. The final results will be determined based on the refinent results!”
“Each assessnt is divided into first-class and nine-class. If you get a full score, it’s called a special class.”
The Chief Examiner thought about it and saw there was nothing more to add, so he crossed his arms and spoke in a rough tone, “Alright, let’s proceed with the Material Collection assessnt. I’ll read the nas of the candidates, and you’ll co forward to perform.”
In an instant, the youths seed eager to give it a try.
Even the elders from the sects that had co to assess alchemy geniuses were attentively watching, ready to see if there were any promising talents worth recruiting.
Comparatively, the Huangshan Sect had more elders attending as they mainly focused on alchemy. Elder Yu, who had a minor conflict with Yang Chen yesterday, was also present.
Elder Yu could guess Yang Chen’s provocation from thinking about it last night, and sure enough, he saw Yang Chen among the many alchemy youths in the No.42 testing site today.
“This kid actually has so achievents in alchemy. But he shouldn’t think that a countryside standard of alchemy can impress , right? Humph, it’s not that easy to be accepted as a disciple of alchemy in our Huangshan Sect,” Elder Yu snorted coldly, not taking it seriously.
The Huangshan Sect had no shortage of alchemists, and their standards for recruiting alchemy genius talents were much higher than those of other sects.
He didn’t think Yang Chen could achieve anything outstanding, so today, he ca here partly for the assessnt and partly to see how Yang Chen would embarrass himself.
In addition to the Huangshan Sect, elders from several other sects were also watching the assessnt.
After all, those top alchemy geniuses were worth recruiting for their sects. Who wouldn’t want to have an Alchemy Master in their sect?
“Wang Mingyang, Material Collection assessnt, fifth-class!” “Luo Jing, Material Collection assessnt, fourth-class!”
“Third-class!”
“Second-class! ”
So alchemy geniuses achieved outstanding second-class results in the Material Collection assessnt, causing a stir among the crowd. Obtaining a second-class score in Material Collection was not an easy task, as it ant this genius was well-versed in the basics of alchemy.
Soon, it was Yang Chen’s turn.
Upon hearing his na being called by the examiner, Yang Chen walked quickly to the front with his hands behind his back. Looking at the neatly placed complex materials together with the elixir formulas written on the examination paper, he couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration.
There were ten second-grade elixirs in total. He was to extract the materials required for refining these elixirs within the stipulated ti.
This assessnt tested the foundational knowledge of the geniuses. Even if these elixirs were not obscure, it was very difficult to accurately select the required materials from the array of materials available and to ensure they were correct. That’s because, while they knew the nas of so materials, they might not have seen what they actually looked like.
It resulted in many geniuses only achieving a second-class score in Material Collection, which was considered quite outstanding.
However, this was like child’s play for Yang Chen.
“Obtaining the materials for ten second-grade elixirs is really too easy,” Yang
Chen shook his head.
Seeing those materials he was so familiar with, his movents were smooth and extrely skilled, as if he had done it countless tis before. He quickly and accurately classified the materials into ten portions and labeled the corresponding elixir nas on the table to satisfy the judges.
Although the assessnt had a ti limit of the duration of a single incense stick, Yang Chen had completed it in less than thirty percent of the allotted ti, clapping his hands and saying, “I’m done.”
Seeing Yang Chen finish, the Chief Examiner was stunned. “Are you sure?”
Yang Chen nodded.
The Chief Examiner thought Yang Chen was another candidate who had given up in the face of the difficulty in Material Collection. He sighed, ready to clean up. However, upon closer look, he was instantly dumbfounded by the neatly placed materials on the table corresponding to the elixir nas.
Not only him, but the judges were also equally astonished!
This caused the Chief Examiner to take a deep breath and swallow hard.
As an Alchemy Master himself, he could clearly see that Yang Chen’s performance in the Material Collection assessnt was flawless and impeccable.
Thinking of this, the Chief Examiner said, “Fellow judges, what scores do you give?”
“Special class!”
“I also give him a special class!”
Imdiately, more than a dozen judges spoke up with their decisions.
As they had no grudges against Yang Chen, they naturally spoke the truth, and there would be no cheating or favoritism in the assessnt at Beishan Main City.
The Chief Examiner thought for a mont and said directly, “I also give a special class.. Since it’s unanimous, Yang Chen, my friend, congratulations on achieving a special class score in the Material Collection section!”
