"Why not!" Chen Feng's eyes were full of confidence.
"Okay, I was right about you!" Deacon Hua looked at Chen Feng with admiration and said solemnly, "But you have to think carefully. The Zhang family wants to be overbearing. This month, it is Zhang Chu's turn to be on duty at the Level 5 Alchemist Examination. Given his relationship with Zhang Minghao, he must have heard about you. If he doesn't make things difficult for you, then Zhang Chu is no longer a member of the Zhang family."
"Under such circumstances, do you still dare to go for the assessment?" Deacon Hua looked at Chen Feng solemnly, his tone was so serious.
"If I were to retreat because of a little difficulty, my path of cultivation would probably end here." Chen Feng smiled faintly: "If I defeat Zhang Minghao, the Zhang family will come to embarrass me eventually. What does it matter if it's sooner or later?"
"Well, a man living in this world should be fearless of hardships like you. Chen Feng, if you hadn't died halfway, your future would be absolutely beyond my imagination!" Deacon Hua laughed, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
"But before that, I have to tell you about the rules of the assessment in advance." Deacon Hua said solemnly: "Chen Feng, the Alchemist Association and the branches outside have different assessments. Outside, you only need to refine pills of the corresponding level to be promoted to the corresponding level. But in the Alchemist Association, there is another very important step, which is the assessment of the results."
"Grade evaluation?" Chen Feng frowned slightly, with doubts in his heart. This was the first time he heard of grade evaluation.
"Just now, Zhang Cheng said that his back received a four-star rating. I'm sure you heard it too."
Chen Feng nodded and looked at Deacon Hua, waiting for him to continue.
"In fact, this performance evaluation is much more important than whether one can be promoted to a fifth-level alchemist. Many people, in terms of their strength, have definitely reached the level of a fifth-level alchemist, but because they did not perform well during the assessment, they will choose to let the pill refining fail." Deacon Hua's words aroused Chen Feng's doubts.
It was obvious that he could pass the assessment, but he failed in refining. How ridiculous it would sound to the outside world.
"In fact, such examples are very common in the Alchemist Association." Deacon Hua said: "Level 5 alchemists can be assessed once a month, and the interval is not long. But once the assessment is over, it cannot be taken again."
"However, the deacon in charge of the assessment will also evaluate the performance of each alchemist who takes the assessment. This evaluation is related to your future status among alchemists of the same level, so no one will be careless. Many people would rather let the pill fail than succeed if they make mistakes during refining. Because once the pill is succeeded, it means that you have passed the assessment and lost the opportunity to be assessed again. But those mistakes during the assessment will lower your performance evaluation." Deacon Hua analyzed calmly, allowing Chen Feng to slowly understand the assessment system of the Alchemists Association.
On the other side, Deacon Hua continued, "There are nine stars in total for performance evaluation. One star is the worst, and nine stars is the best. The exact number of stars is a test of your overall ability. From heating the furnace to collecting pills, every link can affect your performance. One to three stars are ordinary, and 90% of alchemists are at this star level. Only when you reach four stars can you be considered good, and the candidates for the position of deacon of the general association are level five alchemists who have passed the four-star assessment. Of course, the higher your assessment level, the higher your status in the Alchemist Union will be in the future."
"Of course, the benefits of the level assessment are not limited to this." Deacon Hua looked longingly: "If you get a rating of seven stars or above, you will get a place in the 'Eternal Pill Domain'. Of course, this seven-star assessment is extremely difficult to obtain. Even though our Tianma County Alchemist Association has been established for tens of millions of years, only a few people have obtained this qualification. As for the highest nine-star rating, there are only a handful of people in the entire fairy world."
"Eternal Pill Domain?" Chen Feng muttered the name, and a throbbing flashed through his heart. He was too familiar with this Eternal Pill Domain. He had once inherited the alchemy of the Great Clear Daoist Heavenly Venerable, who was the founder of the Eternal Pill Domain.
"Yes, it is said that the Eternal Pill Domain is the mountain gate founded by Taiqing Daode Tianzun, the ancestor of the immortal world's alchemy. The Eternal Pill Domain opens once every ten thousand years, and there are countless opportunities inside. Since ancient times, those who have been able to come out alive from the Eternal Pill Domain have all stood at the pinnacle of the immortal world's alchemy. It's a pity that our Tianma County is too remote and too weak. Only when there are people in the union who have reached the seven-star level in the performance assessment can we get a place." Deacon Hua said with a wry smile.
"Too weak?" Chen Feng showed a look of surprise. Tianma City in Tianma County was a real second-tier city, and the Tianma City Alchemist Association was a real second-tier alchemist union. Such a strong force was actually called too weak
"Chen Feng, the fairy world is vast and boundless, and there are countless places like Tianma County. Moreover, among these forces, Tianma County is only ranked in the middle and the end. Although it is not the bottom, it is not worth mentioning. In the future, if you go out of Tianma County, you will understand that you were just a frog in the forbidden land before." Deacon Hua said with emotion: "Chen Feng, you have mastered the method of breaking the limit of the number of pills. Just based on this point, my Tianma County Alchemist Association cannot keep you. Your future will definitely go out. If possible, I hope you can get a seven-star score and get a place in the Eternal Pill Domain."
I don't know when, Chen Feng's fists have been clenched. Deacon Hua's words made Chen Feng's blood boil. Good man, who doesn't want to stand at the top of the world and see a wider world
"Chen Feng, are you ready?" Deacon Hua paused and asked slowly.
"I can start anytime." Chen Feng nodded firmly and said.
"In that case, let's head to the assessment location." Deacon Hua said, and walked towards the corridor and climbed up the stairs.
…
At the same time, in a quiet room on the sixth floor of the Alchemists' Union, a middle-aged alchemist suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, he took out a jade sound-transmitting talisman, immersed his mind in it, and listened quietly.
Then, he smiled slightly and said to himself, "Oh, that guy is still here? Well, I want to see if the bumpkin who defeated my nephew has three heads and six arms."
Then he moved and came out of the quiet room.
"Deacon Zhang!" Outside the meditation room, a level five alchemist asked respectfully.
"Well, come with me to the examination room!" Deacon Zhang said lightly, and walked towards the examination room.
