Quietly in the hall. On the high platform, Chemir and others sat in their chairs and closed their eyes. On the table in front of them, the hourglass slowly descended...
After the quiet atmosphere lasted for an unknown period of time, Chemir opened his eyes first, glanced at the hourglass that was nearly halfway away, and moved his body. Coughed slightly.
As Chemir coughed, Otto and others opened their eyes, raised their eyes and patrolled the hall for a while. He smiled and said, "It seems that this test is quite difficult. It's even now. No one has come out yet."
"Those with strength. People who want to improve the purity of the refinement as much as possible, and those with less strength, are distressed about how to extract the materials within the prescribed time, so in a short period of time. Naturally, no one will come out. "Chemir smiled faintly.
"Who do you think can achieve the most outstanding results this time?" Otto nodded, and took a light sip from the tea cup in front of him. Asked with a smile.
"It's not easy to say..."
Chemir withered fingers lightly touched the back of the chair, then hesitated slightly. Said: "But in my opinion. Liu Lingdi should have the greatest chance. He is not weak in talent. For so many years, he has learned nearly three or four levels of Furukawa's skills, which is enough to make him one of the best among his peers."
"Haha. The little princess is not weak. The royal family's foundation. But it's extremely strong. If we didn't prepare the trump cards for her this time. No one of us would believe it." Otto laughed.
"Although Nizi's talent is also good. But in terms of experience, it is much inferior to Liu Ling. If she doesn't use those hole cards, she should still be behind Liu Ling. This is still a first try, so she uses the hole cards. Not big. Therefore, Liu Ling has the best chance of achieving the best results..." When talking about his lover, Chemir also smiled a little more on his face, and said with a smile.
Otto smiled. The corner of his eye swept across the small black curtain room Xiao Yan was in and sighed in his heart: "I don't know what kind of achievements this little guy Xiao Yan can achieve. I hope it won't be too low, he is talented. Compared to Liu Ling and the little princess, It's not just too much."
"What? Old Ao. Still holding hope?" Otto's behavior was subtle. But still did not escape Chemir's attention. Right now he shook his head helplessly, a second-grade alchemist. No matter how talented the pharmacist is, it would be difficult to compete with these third-tier pharmacists.
"Haha." He smiled. Otto didn't argue with Chemir, put his hands flat and put them on his knees. Slightly shaking the tilted chair, quietly waiting for the result of the test.
Seeing Otto's silence. Chemir didn't say anything any more, and after a low sigh, he swept his gaze into the empty hall again and slowly counted the ticking time bars.
…
When the sand in the hourglass fell to only a quarter. A black curtain moved violently. Suddenly, a few glances on the high platform. It was projected in an instant, staring at the black curtain there.
An arm stretched out from the black curtain, and then lifted it away. A handsome young man with a feminine smile on his face. Step out...
"Sure enough, it's him..." looked at the tall young man. Otto and others were taken aback for a moment. Gazed at Chemir. Immediately sighed and shook his head, this Furukawa taught the disciple, how many hands did he have to return to the ground
Liu Ling strode out of the black curtain. Then stopped in the middle of the hall. He raised his head and smiled slightly at Chemir and others on the high platform, and then leaned gracefully. The manner is quite gentleman.
Soon after Liu Ling came out, a lightly beautiful figure quickly leaped out of the black curtain. After she saw Liu Ling, who was standing in the hall that morning, a touch of disappointment was revealed on her delicate and pretty face, and she slowly came to the center of the hall and muttered: "Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be so fast. ."
"Hehe, the little princess is not too slow." Liu Ling said with a smile.
"Huh. Although you are earlier than me, the medicinal materials you refined. Maybe not as pure as mine!" Yang Xuebai's jade fist was raised at Liu Ling. The little princess hummed softly.
Liu Ling nodded, smiling silently.
Just two or three minutes after the little princess came out. Those quiet black curtains suddenly seemed to have a chain reaction, and they were lifted one by one, and people's shadows flashed out of them, and finally stood in the hall.
The first thirteen people who came out of the black curtain. On the chest is the badge of the third-rank alchemist. Obviously. They are far surpassing those second-grade refining pharmacists in refining this item.
After these thirteen people appeared. The black curtain stopped lifting until ten minutes later. People came out from behind the black curtain one after another. These people are undoubtedly outside the list. Both are the ranks of the second-rank alchemist.
When these second-rank pharmacists came out, they saw the thirteen third-rank pharmacists standing in the middle of the hall with their heads upright. Jiei smiled bitterly and shook his head, and immediately stood in the back row somewhat depressed. Obviously, after this initial test. They also roughly know the gap with these seeded players.
With the continuous lifting of the black curtain, the sand in the hourglass is about to be completely poured out, but Otto's brows are frowning tightly, because now. Xiao Yan hasn't come out yet...
"What is this little guy doing? Isn't the refinement finished yet? Impossible. With his strength, even if the refinement time can't keep up with the first-line players like Liu Ling. Then he won't be so far behind." Back, Otto murmured anxiously in his heart.
"Oh..." Aside, Chemir looked at his anxious old friend. He couldn't help sighing lightly, and patted his shoulder to show his comfort.
Stand at the top of the crowd. Liu Ling looked around the hall with a faint smile on her face. After not seeing Xiao Yandi's figure, a sneer sneered from the depths of his eyes.
As time passed, the empty hall became full again, but everyone still remained quiet. Each of their gazes unexpectedly stopped at the black curtain that Xiao Yan had entered. Until this moment. The person who took the quiz. Xiao Yan is the only one who hasn’t come out yet...
The sand in the hourglass was rushing down. Otto's brows were almost frowned into a line...
"Hey, Brother Liu. This is your friend? Looks pretty bad." Looking at Otto, who had a strange expression on the platform, the little princess tilted her head to Liu Ling and laughed in a low voice.
"Haha. The little princess joked. I have only had a relationship with him a few times, and it is far from being a friend." Liu Ling laughed softly.
"Yes, with your ability and arrogance. It seems that you have never made friends with little potential." The little princess smiled slightly. The words were rather sharp, as she seemed to come out of the intrigue of the royal family. Only with the strength to make her face up to. Only then was she qualified to make her consider him a friend. An ordinary second-tier pharmacist, she was not able to make her stoop to meet.
Liu Ling smiled and nodded. He glanced at the black curtain that was still motionless, and smiled mockingly. Finally stopped paying attention. He turned his gaze back.
On the high platform. Sand in the hourglass. Has slipped to the end. See here. Chemir shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect it. Otto recommended the local players, but it was so bad that he couldn't even pass the first test, and he sighed. He stood up, wanting to announce the end of the refinement.
Otto on the side. I also felt Chemir's actions. But his face was slightly bitter. But there is no way to stop it. He shook his head decadently. Relying on the back of the chair. Face up to the sky. Take a long breath.
"Well, everyone, I announce, time..."
"Sorry. I'm late..."
Just before Chemir announced the end of the refinement, a gentle voice suddenly came out from the only remaining black curtain, and immediately, a dark shadow lifted the black curtain. He walked out calmly. Chemir leaned slightly towards the high platform with a face of astonishment.
"Huh..." Hearing these plain words, Otto suddenly lowered his head and stared closely at the big rock hanging in his heart, Xiao Yan, who rushed out of the black curtain slightly in a hurry. Finally it fell.
"Tsk tusk, I didn't expect the last time. I can still get out. It's really good luck, but the materials are rushed out in such a hurry. I'm afraid it won't be too good, right?" Xiao Yan looked out with interest. The little princess whispered.
"If it's not good, we will be eliminated. It's normal. The conference is short of everything. There is no shortage of contestants..." Liu Ling squinted and glanced at Xiao Yan with a slight smile.
Standing on the high platform, Chemir glanced at Xiao Yan who had finally come out. Turning his head to look at the relieved Otto again, he secretly said in his heart: "Oh, even though he was driven out, looking at his reluctant appearance, I am afraid that his results will not be too ideal. Poor old O..."
Turning his head, Chemir clapped his hands. Draw the strange gazes of those in the hall who were staring at Xiao Yan, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone came out on time, let's start preparing for the next test."
Talking. Chemir took a few steps forward and lifted a piece of black cloth on a platform, suddenly revealing a precision machine shining with a faint light below.
"This is our pharmacist guild invited some famous casters to build a ground purity measuring instrument, which can accurately test the purity of the material you refine." Chemir stroked the dark machine. Pointing to a groove and said: "Here. This is the place to put the test materials." Finished. He pointed to another screen. Some characters are constantly flashing on it: "And here. It is the place where the purity is displayed. It is on the scale of ten. Ten is the highest. One point is the lowest. Four points are passed."
"Okay. Now. Put the ironwood spirit leaf you refined into it. Remember. Before putting it in. You'd better talk about it. You refined it a few times..."
The refinement of materials, each time it is refined, the difficulty will be several times that of the previous one. For example, to refine this ironwood spirit leaf, even if it is based on the strength of Chemir. It can only be refined ten times over and over again. No matter how much, you can only do useless work.
"let's start!"
Mitchell patted his hands lightly, the fourth-rank alchemist master. They all stood up from their seats, then came to the tester, waiting slightly curiously for the results to be unveiled.
As Mitchell's words fell, everyone in the hall looked at each other. A third-rank alchemist in the front line gritted his teeth and walked out. Take out a jade bottle containing iron wood spirit leaves from the ring. Then put it in the groove. To Chemir and others above, said respectfully: "Vice President Sir, my ability can only refine Ironwood Spirit Leaf three times."
Chemir nodded slightly. Being able to effectively refine the Ironwood Spirit Leaf three times is a pretty good result. According to his measurement, the purity of this young man's refinement. It should be around five points.
As expected by Chemir, after a few flashes of light on the machine, a big five-character suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Five points. Passed the test. Congratulations." Looking at the blood-red font. Mitchell nodded and smiled.
"Next…"
"Four points...pass."
A second-grade alchemist was pushed up and quickly prepared everything. After a while, the four characters flashed on the screen, making him sigh fortunately. Then he patted his chest and flashed aside.
"Next…"
"Five points, pass."
"Next…"
"Three points, failure."
After a few successful people, there was finally an unfortunate second-grade pharmacist, and his face faded away.
As the test time passed, Liu Ling was finally under everyone's attention. Came to the testing machine calmly, then took out a jade bottle from the ring, carefully placed it in the groove, raised his head and smiled at Chemir: "The juniors are limited in strength and can only refine it six times."
Liu Ling said this. Everyone in the hall was taken aback. There was an uproar, not only the people below, but also Lian Chemir and others. He couldn't help but looked at each other in surprise, and was able to refine the Ironwood Spirit Leaf five times. That can at least require the peak strength of the third-tier alchemist.
He sighed lowly. Chemir cast his eyes on the screen, there. After the light flickered for a while. A huge seven-character appeared slowly...
"Seven points. Congratulations...you passed the level." Chemir smiled after a sigh of relief.
Liu Ling smiled. Then he leaned to the side, gazing at the back of the station with Ruowu. Xiao Yan was closing his eyes and rested.
With this climax caused by Liu Ling. Test later. It is undoubtedly extremely plain. Those refined in twos and threes two or three times. It is difficult to seduce Chemir and others at the center of the earth.
Plain until the little princess played. It was just broken, this young girl. It was actually the number of times that Tiemu Lingye was refined five times, but perhaps due to some experience, she got the points. It is 05 points worse than Liu Ling.
After the little princess. There are also a few powerful seed players who have reached the number of sixths, but these are compared to Liu Ling. But it is still a little bit worse. According to this situation, the best performance this time. It seems that Liu Ling is none other than Liu Ling.
As the testers passed one by one. The central location of the hall. It gradually became empty again, and after a while, Xiao Yan was finally left standing alone in it.
"Yan Xiao. It's your turn..." Looking at Xiao Yan, who closed his eyes as if sleeping. Chemir reluctantly urged.
Hearing urging sounds. Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and scanned it lazily. Finally stayed on Liu Ling who was looking at her with a smile. Smiled faintly. Then he cast a consoling look at the nervous Otto.
Stride up a few stairs. Xiao Yan stopped by the testing machine and took out the jade bottle containing the powder extracted from the iron wood spirit leaf from the ring. Then in the speechless eyes of Chemir and others. Throw it into the groove at will.
"Little guy, how many times have you refined?" Looking at Xiao Yan, who seemed to have no intention to speak with his head down. Chemir had to ask actively.
"How many times?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty, "It seems... eight times."
silence.
The hall became deadly silent at this moment.
"Huh, stupid guy, is it true that you can report such things casually?" After being choked by Xiao Yan's words, the little princess finally couldn't help but sneered. She doesn't believe in a second-grade pharmacist. Actually has the ability to refine the iron wood spirit leaf eight times.
However. The little princess sneered on her pretty face. It hasn't faded completely yet. At the next moment, it suddenly stiffened. Because. On the screen of the testing machine. A huge "nine" in a crimson ground slowly emerged...
"Nine points…"
Looking at the big red characters. now. Mitchell suddenly felt that his heart suddenly shrank...
