Hearing Ye Fan's words, the staff member was stunned for a moment, then showed a strange expression and asked: "Are you sure you want to undergo one-star certification?"
"That's right!" Ye Fan nodded.
For Ye Fan, there is no difference between one star and nine stars. He only came for certification in order to participate in the Dan Alliance Conference.
And he didn't want to be exposed too early, so he simply kept a low profile.
"In ten minutes, there happens to be a one-star certification event on the 28th floor of the Alchemy Tower! First hand over the ten red black stones, and then go upstairs!" the staff said.
When Ye Fan heard this, he immediately paid the money, asked Uncle Liu to wait below, and went to the 28th floor alone.
The Alchemy Pagoda is extremely high, with hundreds or even thousands of floors. There is a mysterious suspended ladder inside, similar to the elevator on earth, which can go up and down freely.
After a while, Ye Fan arrived at the 28th floor.
Looking around, there are hundreds of people, all of whom are children. The youngest is only seven or eight years old, and the oldest is only ten years old. They look extremely immature.
There is no other person of Ye Fan's age!
It wasn't until this moment that Ye Fan understood why the staff had a strange expression just now.
A one-star alchemist is an existence at the bottom of the pyramid. There is no difficulty in certification at all. Any child who has learned alchemy for a few months can easily pass.
There are only a few people like Ye Fan who come to take the certification at this age in a year.
And his arrival also attracted the attention of many children, and he suddenly became the focus of the audience.
"Hey... look, that big brother must be over 20 years old!"
"Could it be that you have taken the exam for more than ten years and still haven't passed it?"
Hearing the whispers of these children, Ye Fan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
If he had known this, he would have simply participated in a higher-level assessment.
Not long after, three more young men wearing alchemy robes appeared.
The man in the middle has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a rich and handsome figure, a majestic appearance, and an elegant demeanor that is unparalleled in Tsinghua University. His every move reveals a noble aura. He is obviously from a wealthy family, but he does not have the arrogance of a playboy.
On his alchemy robe, there are seven gold stars embroidered, symbolizing his status as a seven-star grand master.
At such a young age, he has such attainments in alchemy. Looking at the entire Tianshu Star, he is like a rare existence.
Although the two people next to them are a bit inferior, they still have five gold stars on their robes, and they are both powerful alchemists.
Suddenly, the sword-browed young man in the middle glanced at the entire audience and said, "Everyone, I am the examiner of this certification examination, Lin Feiyu!"
…
"boom!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a huge stone smashing into the calm water, causing thousands of waves.
All the children present who were participating in the certification showed excitement on their faces and their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen their idols.
Tiannan Lin family, Lin Feiyu!
This is a genius who is as famous as the Little Alchemy King Xie Feng, and is also regarded as the seed contestant of this alchemy conference.
Everyone never expected that Lin Feiyu would serve as the examiner for this one-star certification.
But then I thought about it, with his attainments in alchemy, he was more than enough to be an examiner, and he was even overqualified.
"Okay, let's proceed to the one-star alchemist certification assessment. I believe everyone knows the rules. The assessment is divided into "written examination" and "practical"! The first is the written examination, which lasts for half an hour!" Lin Feiyu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two five-star alchemists began to distribute the papers.
Ye Fan was slightly startled when he saw this. He didn't expect that the assessment was not just alchemy, but also a written test. It was like returning to the high school days on Earth, where he was surrounded by mountains of books and seas of questions every day.
After getting the paper, Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded.
"Please write down the five effects of ivy!"
"What are the top ten elixirs in the Eastern Wasteland?"
"Please explain the steps for refining Peiyuan Dan!"
"What effect will be produced by mixing purple sunflower and passion flower?"
He can't do any of the questions above. After all, he is not a monk from Tianshu Star, and he has never studied alchemy systematically.
As for the knowledge imparted by Mr. Wei, it was too high-end and of no use at all.
All of a sudden, hundreds of children participating in the certification began to write furiously, leaving only Ye Fan scratching his head and chin, thinking hard.
With his current level of cultivation, it is not difficult to use his spiritual consciousness to spy on the answers on other people's papers.
Even Lin Feiyu couldn't detect anything strange.
But cheating in this way would be too derogatory, and Ye Fan would never do it.
Fortunately, in addition to the "written test", the certification assessment also has a "practical" part, and you can just get your scores back when the time comes.
…
Half an hour later, the written test ended and the papers were collected, but those who participated in the certification did not leave.
The two five-star alchemists quickly corrected the papers with a glance.
"Fan Bo, 78 points, passed!"
"Du Xiu, 82 points, passed!"
"Fang Mingda, 95 points, passed!"
"Luo Xingwei, 80 points, passed!"
"Shen Jinghao, 77 points, passed!"
Almost everyone passed with high scores. For the local monks of Tianshu Star, these questions are not difficult at all and are the most basic common sense.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a five-star alchemist raised his eyebrows and his voice became high-pitched and sharp:
"Ye Fan, 0 points!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
For such an easy question, even if you write randomly, you won't get 0 points!
"Who is Ye Fan? Come forward!" The five-star alchemist shouted.
"Ahem...it's me!" Ye Fan said.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
All the eyes of the audience were focused on him, immediately pushing him to the forefront.
The five-star alchemist looked him up and down, with a look of disdain on his face, and said sarcastically: "It's not embarrassing for such an old man to come to take the one-star certification! What's even more funny is that he got a zero in the exam.
Duck eggs are not even as good as a seven or eight-year-old child!"
"Haha... I'm really laughing to death! This is the first time I've seen such a stupid person!"
Another five-star alchemist laughed and said: "It is said that Mr. Lin became a three-star alchemist when he was eight years old. When he was in his twenties, he created hundreds of kinds of elixirs. Comparing people with each other makes people angry!"
"That's right! The gap between humans is even greater than that between humans and dogs!"
"Hey...boy named Ye, why do you still have the nerve to stay here? Why don't you get out of here? A fool like you won't be able to become an alchemist even if it takes a hundred years!"
The two of them sang together and ridiculed Ye Fan, and their scoldings became more and more unpleasant.
Ye Fan's face suddenly darkened.
Even if he couldn't do the test paper, he didn't deserve to be insulted like this.
Villains like this will only bully the weak and seek a sense of superiority from the weak.
Just when Ye Fan was about to take action and teach them a lesson, Lin Jingyu, who had been silent before, suddenly shouted:
"That's enough! Sun Ming, Dong Jian, don't you know the principle of 'refining the heart before refining alchemy'? No matter what kind of candidates you face, you must treat them equally! What's more... there are many alchemy masters who live in seclusion in the mountains all year round, and their written examination results
It’s not a big deal! You two, apologize to this candidate Ye immediately!”
"Master Lin, you don't need to be so strict..." Sun Ming said with a bitter face.
"Apologise! Otherwise, I will immediately propose to the Council of Elders to ban you two from being qualified as alchemists!" Lin Feiyu said coldly, looking selfless.
Sun Ming and Dong Jian, two five-star alchemists, were immediately shocked. They did not expect Lin Feiyu to be so ruthless.
You know, Lin Feiyu is the Seven-Star Alchemy Master, and his status is higher than the two of them.
And the head of the Lin family in Tiannan is an eight-star alchemy master. He can kill both of them with just one word.
At this moment, no matter how reluctant Sun Ming and Dong Jian were, they could only bow their heads and apologize to Mark.
"We were rude just now, please forgive me!"
Ye Fan waved his hand and did not look at them. Instead, he turned around and looked at Lin Feiyu, clasping his fists and saying: "Brother Lin, thank you! I owe you a favor. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me!"
In fact, Ye Fan never expected that Lin Feiyu would stand up for him.
This was not because Lin Feiyu recognized Ye Fan's identity. The reason why he fought against injustice was due to his personality, which made Ye Fan somewhat fond of him.
