In the alchemy room, more than a dozen alchemists were sitting together, looking at the young man intently.
These alchemists are all quite old, most are over forty years old, and the youngest is in his thirties.
Now when they saw a fifteen or sixteen year old boy claiming to make alchemy, everyone was surprised and couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable. Some people even shook their heads secretly, with a hint of ridicule in their eyes.
However, they are all people with clear eyes and clear minds. They have long heard that Master Yunqi specially gave a young man an alchemy disciple nameplate. Although they did not know whether it was true or not, no one would be foolish enough to ridicule it.
"Long Chen, although I am the president, I can't break the rules. If you want to advance the medicinal materials, you need to refine the elixir in front of all the alchemists. Then we will decide your daily dose based on the quality of the elixir.
The amount of the withdrawal," Master Yunqi said with a serious face.
"Boy understands"
Long Chen expressed his understanding of this matter. After all, the Alchemist Guild is not a personal property. With Master Yunqi's style, he would never give him a small chance.
"There are one hundred and eighty-seven first-level elixir recipes here. You can choose any of them." An alchemist handed over a piece of animal skin paper with a slight schadenfreude in his eyes.
The elixirs recorded on that piece of animal skin paper are not ordinary first-level elixirs. Among the first-level elixirs, they are all in the middle or upper level of difficulty. The success rate of ordinary elixir disciples is not high.
What's more, refining elixirs in front of all the alchemists, and with a master like Yun Qi present, it would be strange not to be nervous. In such an atmosphere, it is very difficult to successfully refine a finished elixir.
The man who handed Long Chen the animal skin paper was also an alchemy disciple, already in his forties. When he was assessed for the advance amount, he failed seventeen times before passing.
Everyone present was not much better than him. Basically, they all used it more than a dozen times before they passed the level.
It can be seen that it is not an easy task to advance medicinal materials from the union, but once successful, it will be much more convenient.
Long Chen took a look at the animal skin, pointed at the last pill recipe and said: "That's it."
"What? Are you sure?"
The man looked a little weird and said, the elixir Long Chen chose was called Violent Qi Dan, and it was an extremely domineering elixir.
It can allow people to burst into powerful combat power in a short period of time, and can almost increase their combat power by nearly 30%.
Violent Qi Pills are the most beloved thing among adventurers. Although using Violent Qi Pills will put people in a weak state for a long time and leave considerable sequelae.
However, for those who live under the claws and maws of monsters all day long, the Violence Pill is undoubtedly a life-saving treasure.
However, it is very difficult to refine the Violent Qi Pill. It contains several medicinal materials with extremely powerful medicinal properties. Even experienced pill disciples rarely refine such pills.
After all, refining elixirs is risky. Although the price of elixirs is extremely high, the materials are not given for free. They are all money.
Moreover, the medicinal materials of the Violent Qi Pill are extremely expensive. If the refining fails three times in a row, the alchemist will lose money.
Therefore, there are not many people who refine this kind of elixir. After all, the price of medicinal materials is too high and adventurers cannot afford it. If the adventurer is really rich, who is willing to take the risk?
"Yes, that's it," Long Chen said calmly, ignoring the gloating in the man's eyes.
Master Yunqi smiled slightly and asked a medicine boy to prepare three portions of medicinal materials. This was the rule for the assessment. There were only three portions. As long as one portion was successfully refined, it would be considered a pass.
When the three medicinal materials were neatly placed in front of Long Chen, Long Chen took out his alchemy cauldron without any hesitation, and a light yellow flame rose up in his palm.
After a breath, Long Chen slowly transferred the power of the elixir fire to the medicine cauldron to heat the cauldron. After heating the cauldron, he opened the cauldron. The so-called opening the cauldron was to use his soul to heat the cauldron.
The power drives the elixir fire to travel around the cauldron.
The advantage of this approach is that it can completely put the medicine cauldron into an elixir-refining state, reduce the risk of the cauldron exploding, and warm and nourish the medicine cauldron.
In fact, Long Chen had more advanced methods, but he had to use the most basic techniques he learned in the Alchemist Guild.
He didn't want to make himself too shocking, which would be detrimental to the future. If someone secretly had evil intentions, it would simply cause trouble for himself.
Everyone originally looked down on Long Chen, but seeing that Long Chen's actions were very precise and sophisticated, the look of contempt on everyone's faces gradually faded away.
After all the preparations were done, Long Chen did not hesitate and directly put a piece of iron wire grass into the cauldron and started refining it.
Long Chen's action immediately turned the interest that many people had just aroused into ridicule.
Ironwort takes the longest time to refine. It is usually placed in the middle and late stages, waiting for the medicine cauldron to be completely heated before refining.
But only Master Yunqi had a strange look in his eyes and nodded secretly.
What surprised everyone was that the iron grass had just been halfway refined and had not yet completely formed into powder. Long Chen took it out of the cauldron, put it aside, and started refining other medicinal materials.
After refining the sixth medicinal material, Long Chen continued to refine the iron grass, but it was still not completely refined and started refining other herbs.
This move puzzled everyone, but looking at the admiration in Master Yunqi's eyes, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Could there be some secret in this kid's technique?
Long Chen's wire grass was refined a total of thirteen times before it was completely refined. At this time, more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials had been completely refined.
Under normal circumstances, the average alchemist will adjust his breath at this time to relieve his nervousness.
However, Long Chen didn't have that time to waste. After refining the essence of the herbal medicine, he started refining the elixir directly, putting the medicinal materials one after another into the elixir furnace.
What everyone couldn't figure out was that Long Chen pressed the essence of the wire grass several times before putting it into the medicine cauldron.
"call"
The power of the soul circulated, the elixir fire rose rapidly, a searing wave of air came, and Long Chen began to work on the elixir.
"What a powerful soul"
Everyone couldn't help being surprised, but at the same time they shook their heads secretly. At this time, they began to increase their firepower. When the elixir is ready, what will they use to gather the elixir? Young people are young people after all, and they can't hold their breath.
Master Yunqi looked at this young man with great interest. He was the only one here who understood the meaning of what Long Chen did. At the same time, he liked Long Chen even more. He had a strong soul and was willing to work hard to study, so that it would be easier to achieve results.
To everyone's surprise, after half an hour, Long Chen's soul power showed no signs of deterioration, and instead the output became more and more powerful.
"boom"
With a sound, the medicine cauldron vibrated slightly, and a strong wave came. Everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten. They all knew that this was the critical moment.
The medicine cauldron keeps vibrating. Logically speaking, at this time, the alchemist should slow down the power of the alchemy fire and allow the medicine cauldron to stabilize.
But instead of slowing down, Long Chen's soul power increased, the pill fire became even hotter, and the sound in the medicine cauldron became more intense.
"What is he doing?"
Some people couldn't help but change their expressions. This is not alchemy at all. He did this simply because he wanted to explode the furnace. This was obviously intentional.
"boom"
There was another explosion, and the medicine cauldron was raised. Long Chen suddenly pressed a big hand tightly on the cauldron cover, and suddenly a powerful soul force broke through with all his strength.
"boom"
The rioting alchemy furnace suddenly stopped its violence, fell to the ground, and regained its composure.
"This bad method is really laborious"
Long Chen wiped his sweat. Using this method to refine elixirs was almost exhausting. The main reason was that he couldn't reveal his own strength, so he could only do it strictly. Long Chen couldn't tell the pain.
Snapped!
The furnace lid was gently opened, and a strong aroma of red pepper instantly filled the entire hall, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
“It actually worked”
The people present were all experts. They didn’t need to look inside the cauldron, just by smelling the fragrance of the pills, they knew that Long Chen had succeeded. Many people were filled with shock.
"Very good, there should be at least one medium-grade elixir in it."
Master Yunqi looked at Long Chen, his eyes filled with admiration. Long Chen was beyond his expectation this time.
He knew that with Long Chen's soul power, it shouldn't be difficult to successfully refine elixirs, but he wanted to know what Long Chen's foundation was.
When I met him today, I saw that Long Chen's basic skills were extremely solid, and even compared to some alchemy disciples who had been practicing for many years.
The most valuable thing is that Long Chen knows the pharmacology well and understands that the strong medicine of wire grass needs to be refined several times. Reducing its strongness will make the elixir more effective and have a higher success rate.
No one in the current Alchemist Guild knows about this refining method, but some seniors in the guild have recorded this experience in the secret library.
Unfortunately, the record above is very vague, and it only expresses a theory: after many times of refinement, the ferocity of wire grass should be reduced.
But most of those insights are extremely common methods, or they are just some immature ideas. How many alchemists are there who are so great that they would share their hard work with others for free?
Even Master Yunqi knows the method of refining wire grass without telling anyone, but he has never mentioned it to anyone.
One is that he has no obligation to teach others, and the other is that as an alchemist, he doesn't even dare to innovate, and he won't even think about making any big achievements in his life.
When everyone heard what Master Yunqi said, they couldn't help but be shocked: Middle-grade elixir? Is this possible?
When Long Chen saw everyone looking at him, he smiled slightly, waved his hand, and with the power of his soul, five plump and round pills appeared in his hand.
Two of the elixirs are printed with extremely eye-catching patterns - elixir patterns, which are the characteristics of middle-grade elixirs.
For a moment, the entire audience was silent. Except for Master Yunqi, everyone's eyes were filled with shock, envy, and of course a hint of jealousy.
Looking at the five elixirs in his hand, Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Master Yunqi said: "Long Chen successfully refined the elixir and was awarded a second-level credit rating."
Master Yunqi's words made everyone's eyes suddenly change. With second-level credit, that is the right to advance second-level elixirs, which makes people jealous.
From the complicated eyes of everyone, Long Chen followed Master Yunqi and left the hall. Master Yunqi suddenly said seriously to Long Chen:
