"Nine stars definitely can't be given. After all, although his theoretical knowledge is solid, he is only at the Condensation Sea Stage. He can't even refine high-level pills. How can he be given nine stars?"
"It's just talk. At least we should test whether what he just said is true and whether it can be realized!"
"That's right, I'm going to make the elixir quickly!"
"I'm leaving too!"
Seeing that several examiners were about to leave, someone came over and shouted, "Masters, why are you all leaving? What are we going to do with the rest of the exam if you leave?"
Several people were stunned.
They actually forgot about the next assessment.
However, no assessment now is as important as their solution to the alchemy problem that has troubled them for a long time.
"Assessment? Let's continue tomorrow. We have something to do now."
The staff were all speechless.
For such a big matter, is the decision so hasty?
But there is no way. We cannot offend these great experts. If they are unwilling to continue the exam, then we can only suspend it.
I have to go out and tell this news to those who have not yet taken the assessment.
Those who were still waiting were devastated by the news.
Haven't they waited here for so long in vain?
Some sects are also waiting for news about the assessment.
It is not just to see whether the disciples of his own sect have passed the assessment, but also to see if there are some monks who have left the sect and can be invited to his own sect to serve as guest elders or something.
Logically speaking, the theoretical exam should have been completed on the first day, and it would have been clear who was not performing well and who had great potential.
During the practical assessment tomorrow, we will know which people to focus on.
But the report I received today was that the theoretical examination has not yet ended.
What's going on?
Is there something wrong with this year's exam?
No one tried to explain what was going on. After all, the alchemists still had their own problems to solve!
When Lu Xianyun saw his father coming back, he asked anxiously, "Dad, what's going on?"
"The situation is okay. I was not recognized and passed the theoretical exam." Lu Minxing said.
"That's good."
In fact, Lu Xianyun was only concerned about whether her father was recognized. After all, it was she who encouraged her father to take the exam.
As for whether or not he would pass, Lu Xianyun had never worried about it. After all, his father had a system!
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day and it was finally time for the practical assessment.
A new group of examiners were replaced for the practical test, including the white-haired old man from that day.
When the old man saw Lu Minxing coming, he sneered, "How dare you come!"
This practical exam is not taken by one person, but by everyone together.
I don’t know what the topic will be this year, after all, it’s different every year.
"What kind of elixir will you make this year?"
"I hope it's the Huiling Pill. I'm most proficient in this."
"I hope it's the Blood Coagulation Pill. This is the herb I have prepared myself. If I don't take this into consideration, I may not have all the other herbs, so I will have to use theirs, and the pill I make won't be my own!"
"I hope there won't be any unexpected problems this year. I heard that last year's assessment included a super difficult question. It wasn't designed to force people to refine pills, but to observe how far the examinees could advance!"
"Why would you come up with such a stupid idea? If it's a difficult problem, then no one will use their own herbs. They'll all use the assessment team's herbs. If they fail, they won't get anything!"
"You don't know. The difficulty of the problem doesn't mean it requires high-grade medicinal herbs, but rather it means it requires a very rare elixir. Even if no one can refine it, those herbs are not worth much."
…
After listening to these words, Lu Minxing understood a lot of information.
After all, this was his first time participating in this kind of assessment, and he had never collected information in this area before, so he knew very little.
It's just that it's a bit late to know this now, so it's of no help.
Everyone stood in their seats, waiting for the questions to be distributed.
The white-haired old man stood up and said to everyone, "Your question today is no question!"
Everyone was stunned. What does that mean?
"Today, you are free to refine whatever elixir you want. We will judge you based on the results of your elixir!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those with shallow minds were still cheering, happy that they could refine the elixir they were good at. However, those with deeper thoughts knew that this problem was not so simple.
Can I get a high score for refining a simple elixir? After all, it's not difficult! But how confident am I in refining a highly difficult elixir? What if I make a mistake?
Many people began to think about the elixirs they wanted to refine.
Because Lu Minxing didn't bring his own medicinal herbs, he could only go and see what medicinal herbs the assessment team provided.
Of course, for an assessment like this that doesn't have designated elixirs, the assessment team won't take out those precious medicinal materials.
Without precious medicinal materials, it is impossible to refine high-level pills. Even if you pass the assessment, the final rating will not be high.
This is the limitation of not having your own medicinal materials!
Some people who are confident have already started taking action.
Some of the medicinal materials they have prepared themselves are of high grade, and they are quite skilled and confident in their preparation, and have already started refining them.
Some people struggled for a long time, gritted their teeth, and finally refined the medicinal materials they brought with them, which were the elixirs they were best at.
Lu Minxing was still there, slowly selecting pills, one after another.
This confused the examiners, and they began to whisper to each other on the podium.
"What is he trying to refine? Why can't I understand?"
"That's right, what kind of elixir requires so many kinds of medicinal ingredients?"
"Could it be that you don't know what to refine, so you just pick up something at random?"
"I think he plans to win by quantity, and refine more?"
"Hmph, our judgment is not that simple!" said the white-haired old man coldly.
Lu Minxing selected the herbs, took out his alchemy furnace, and began to make the elixir.
One medicinal herb after another was thrown in.
"Hey, look at him, he doesn't seem to be practicing blindly!"
"It looks quite good, it shouldn't be a random practice."
"Hmph, just pretend!" said the white-haired old man with a roll of his eyes.
"No, I seem to have this recipe in my memory!" One examiner said while recalling.
"I remember there was a high-grade elixir that was actually made from a variety of low-grade medicinal materials. It was the accumulation of quantity that led to a leap in quality."
"Is there really such a pill? What's it called?"
"I remember it's called the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Pill, a kind of elixir that restores spiritual power. You see, the herbs we provide are all low-level, and the spiritual power-restoring elixirs we refine can usually only be used by low-level cultivators. But this Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Pill can restore a large amount of spiritual power and can be used by high-level cultivators!"
