"Okay, now I'm going to start asking questions. There are three questions in total. Write your answers on the paper and give it to me." The deacon of the Dan Alliance said meticulously.
Except for Li Chong, everyone in the Li family looked serious. Although they came here to take the alchemist assessment with full confidence, they still had to take it seriously when the critical moment came.
Li Chong looked calm and even showed a bit of impatience. He felt that this question and answer part was really a waste of time.
Fang Lin, on the other hand, was also very indifferent, not even paying attention. Instead, he stroked the alchemy furnace in front of him with great interest.
"Listen up, the first question is to write down the three different refining methods of the Nourishing Pill." The deacon of the Dan Alliance said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Li family immediately began to write on the paper, and one or two people looked embarrassed, stumped by this first question.
Although Fang Lin was not very focused, he was not deaf yet. When he heard this question, he calmly began to answer the question.
For Fang Lin, this problem is too simple. He can write down a hundred different methods of refining the Nourishing Pill.
At that moment, Fang Lin wrote down three refining methods that he thought were relatively common. After finishing writing, he looked up and looked around, and it happened that Li Chong had also finished writing.
The two made eye contact, and Li Chong's eyes were cold and proud, as if he was very disdainful of Fang Lin.
The corner of Fang Lin's mouth curled up, but he didn't react.
"After you finish writing, submit it to me. Conversation is strictly prohibited during the process, otherwise the results will be invalidated on the spot!" said the deacon of Danmeng in a very stern manner.
Fang Lin walked over and handed him the paper with the answers. Li Chong also handed it in almost at the same time. In addition to the two of them, there were three other children of the Li family who also answered the questions immediately.
After burning the incense, all the Li family children put down their pens and papers because the time had come.
It only takes one stick of incense to answer the question. When the time is up, whether you answered it or not, you have to stop writing and hand it in.
Fang Lin noticed that two of the Li family's children were sweating profusely, with nervous and uneasy eyes. He could tell at a glance that they were giving a hasty answer.
The Danmeng deacon held twenty-one pieces of paper in his hand, and together with the other three Danmeng deacons, looked up the answers.
During this period, Mr. Su stood aside, stroking his beard and smiling, but did not participate.
The old man of the Li family had a confident look on his face. He knew very well the level of each of the Li family disciples he led this time, and he would be satisfied if half of them succeeded in becoming a Yiding alchemist.
Ouyang Jing also gave Fang Lin an encouraging look, and Fang Lin nodded in response.
The four Dan League deacons will cross-check the answers on these papers, and they will discuss any answers they have disagreements with.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the expression of one of the four people changed slightly, and then he frowned and stared at the paper in his hand.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Seeing him like this, the other three asked in a low voice.
The man didn't say anything and simply handed the paper in his hand to others for circulation.
After the three people saw it, their expressions became the same as his, as if they had seen a ghost.
"We can't judge this boy's answer, so we still have to ask Mr. Su to make a decision." The deacon who presided over the assessment said to Mr. Su with clasped fists.
When Mr. Su heard this, he was also a little surprised.
Generally speaking, this kind of assessment of a Yiding Alchemist only requires a few deacons to preside over it. After all, these deacons have all reached the level of a Three Cauldron Alchemist.
"Can't the four of you tell the difference?" Mr. Su asked with a frown.
The four deacons looked embarrassed, and they were a little embarrassed by Mr. Su's question, but the fact was that they could not judge whether the answer on the piece of paper was correct.
Mr. Su took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, with an imperceptible look of surprise on his face.
Especially the signature on this piece of paper was clearly Fang Lin, which surprised Mr. Su even more.
"This third method is very strange. I seem to have seen this method of refining the breath nourishing pill in ancient books, but few people know about it anymore." Mr. Su hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the four deacons all nodded.
The old man from the Li family asked curiously at the side: "Mr. Su, who's answer requires you to answer the question?"
Mr. Su gave him a strange look and said, "I'm not a descendant of your Li family."
Hearing this, the old man from the Li family suddenly stiffened. Mr. Su's words were very clear. That was Fang Lin's answer.
The four deacons checked all the answers, took out two and put them aside alone.
"Okay, we have checked everyone's answers, and except for two people, they are all correct." The deacon of the Dan League said loudly, and at the same time read the names of the two children of the Li family.
The two people whose names were read had dejected looks on their faces and left the trial hall in great despair.
The other Li family children showed no reaction, as if they had already expected the failure of these two people.
"The assessment continues."
After all three questions were completed, a total of six people from the Li family failed.
Except for Li Chong, who was relatively calm, the rest of the Li family's children seemed a little excited.
The old man from the Li family, on the other hand, looked a little unhappy.
It's not because six members of his family failed, but because Fang Lin is still here.
Moreover, Fang Lin's answers to the three questions were all so outstanding that Mr. Su was filled with admiration.
Mr. Su's compliments to Fang Lin were so harsh to the ears of the old man from the Li family that he felt very uncomfortable.
After three rounds of questions and answers, the next step is the most important part - alchemy.
In the assessment of Yiding Alchemist, the elixir to be refined is the Nourishing Pill.
As the elixir most in demand by low-level warriors, the Nourishing Pill is a test of the alchemist's basic skills.
Being able to successfully refine a breath-nourishing pill of sufficient quality is tantamount to having the qualifications of an alchemist.
This is a standard that has existed since a long time ago and has not changed to this day.
Perhaps in the long history, there have been other assessment methods for Yiding alchemists, but using the refining of the Nourishing Pill as the standard has always been the most formal and accurate.
"Each of you must refine five health pills. The quality of each pill must not be lower than medium. If the quantity and quality meet the standards, you will be considered to have passed the assessment." said the deacon of the Dan Alliance.
Everyone knew this rule very well, and they immediately started refining the elixir.
The medicinal materials for refining the Nourishing Pill are naturally provided by the Dan Alliance. It can be said that there are as many as needed. Of course, everyone has only one chance to refine the pill. If the pill refining fails, it will be a complete failure.
All the conditions for everyone present are the same, the only difference is everyone's own alchemy attainments.
The medicinal materials were brought up by the people from the Dan Alliance, and after the start, everyone got busy.
Only two people did not take action immediately, one was Li Chong and the other was Fang Lin.
