Chapter 721: Advancement to the Seventh-Rank Alchemist
The assessment for seventh-grade alchemists is a grand event, and normally one has to go to the headquarters or have someone from the headquarters come.
But Lin Zhen is in a special situation now, so he can only keep things simple.
Nalan Chenxi reported Lin Zhen's situation, and Long Geer, the vice president of the Alchemist Association, personally supervised the examination.
"Brother Lin, are you sure you don't need to announce it? I think you have a great chance of success." As Nalan Chenxi approached the exam room, he patted Lin Zhen's shoulder affectionately.
"Brother, there's really no need. This isn't a wedding, there's no need to make it so grand." Lin Zhen said with a smile.
"What's so grand about marrying a wife? A man needs to be solemn when he achieves success in his career."
Hearing Nalan Chenxi's words, Lin Zhen was speechless. His Earth thinking had not yet changed. In Nanliang, and even in many countries in the Yuanjie, marrying a wife was not a big deal, because a powerful warrior might have to marry many wives in his lifetime, and many wives even had to beg the south to marry in.
In a new world, customs and habits are completely different, and Lin Zhen is somewhat behind the times in this regard.
"Can we get started then?"
Although it was not grand, there were quite a few spectators present.
In addition to Nalan Chenxi, there is also Vice President Dwayne and the other three great elders of the Alchemist Guild. They are all spectators today, wanting to witness the birth of a seventh-grade alchemist.
"Come on, Brother Lin. If you succeed this time, you will be the Grand Elder of the General Association in the future. You should know that the Grand Elder of the General Association can also serve as the President of other countries."
Hearing Nalan Chenxi's encouragement, Lin Zhen nodded and came to the front of the alchemy furnace.
In front of him, the alchemy furnace and elixirs were all ready. In addition, on the large screen, the three alchemists opposite were preparing to watch Lin Zhen making elixirs to decide whether he was qualified to advance to the seventh level.
Sitting in the middle was Long Geer, the vice president of the association, a very powerful alchemist.
It is said that in order to become the vice president of the Alchemists Association, one must surpass the seventh level.
However, such alchemists have lived for countless years, and are at least immortal warriors, or even three-flower warriors.
Lin Zhen didn't think that far ahead for the moment. He first had to concentrate on getting the position of a seventh-rank alchemist and gaining greater authority so that he could look up the information about the Soul-Calming Bell.
"Great Elder Lin Zhen, are you ready?" said Long Geer, who was dressed in a brocade robe and looked at the extremely majestic person.
"Okay, I'm ready."
"Okay, then I wish you success, Nalan, let's get started."
When Nalan Chenxi heard Long Geer's order, he nodded and signaled Lin Zhen to start.
"The elixir I'm going to make today is a spiritual power elixir!"
Lin Zhen gave a brief introduction and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Long Geer's eyes showed surprise. As the vice president of the association, he had to examine many people. Although seventh-grade alchemists were relatively rare, there were people taking the examination almost every day, but very few could pass.
Lin Zhen didn't care about other people's opinions. He sat alone in front of the furnace and began to refine the spiritual power elixir.
Spiritual power elixirs have always been a difficult problem in the alchemy world. Many alchemists have wanted to tackle this subject, but there has never been a completely successful precedent.
It is understandable if one person fails, but if ten thousand people fail, then it is probably not a problem of the individual.
Lin Zhen had no clue before, but after absorbing the madman's memory, he found the crux of the problem.
In order to refine spiritual power pills, the first thing to do is to inject and then withdraw spiritual power.
Other alchemists cannot succeed because they do not have the medium to recover the energy, but Lin Zhen does.
After the mental power is injected, it can be withdrawn smoothly without losing the medicinal properties. This requires a black hole! Only a black hole can achieve the perfect connection of this process. Lin Zhen has done experiments before. It can be said that the mental power pill is tailor-made for him. Even if he tells others the method, they will not be able to learn it.
The reason why Lin Zhen was able to transform into a black hole beast was because his soul had once traveled through a black hole and stimulated this bloodline. No one else could do it no matter what.
Slowly closing his eyes, Lin Zhen had the entire procedure in his mind, and all his movements were as smooth as flowing water.
Long Geer and others on the opposite side simply watched at first, but later they couldn't help but stick to the screen, carefully observing Lin Zhen's every move.
"Incredible, this is truly incredible! The skills and experience of this Great Elder Lin Zhen have already fully acquired the demeanor of a mature seventh-grade alchemy master. As long as this elixir is successful, he will be a super master!"
If you don’t advance to the seventh rank, you are not qualified to be called a master.
The whole process was breathtaking, without even the slightest mistake, until the very last moment, when Lin Zhen withdrew his mental power through the black hole.
At this point, the elixir is ready~!
The moment the fire in the pill furnace was lit, everyone stretched their necks and stared at the pill.
Along the way, about forty or fifty pills the size of soybeans appeared.
"Okay, who can come over and check to see if my medicine is effective?"
Nalan Chenxi immediately volunteered: "As the president, I have no choice but to take responsibility for this matter."
Dwayne and the others could see that the furnace of pills was ready, but Nalan Chenxi was the president after all, and they could do nothing about his blatant abuse of power for personal gain. They could only watch as the old man picked up a pill and swallowed it.
“Hmm! Hmm~~!!”
Hearing Nalan Chenxi's humming, Long Geer couldn't sit still any longer: "Nalan, please tell me what you want to say. Stop humming all the time."
"Uh~! Vice President, I can now guarantee with my personality and position that the effect of this pill will be better than I imagined. After swallowing it, I even felt that my Dark Gold Stage mental strength that had been motionless for ten thousand years was somewhat loosened."
"Oh! So, this pill is effective?"
"It's more than OK, it's too good! Vice President, if this kind of pill can be put on the market in large quantities, you can't imagine how much money you can make. Almost half of the people in the entire metaverse are spiritualists, and everyone's spiritual power needs to be improved. Even if you have tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of pills, I guarantee that they will be snatched up in one day!"
After hearing Nalan Chenxi's firm assurance, Long Geer no longer had any doubts.
"Okay! Since President Nalan has approved it, I also believe in the authenticity of this assessment. Now please give me the elixir that Lin Zhen refined. Oh! What's its name?"
"Spirit Star." Lin Zhen gave it a temporary name.
"Okay, this Spirit Star Pill was created by Great Elder Lin Zhen. Please ask President Nalan to send the pill to us as soon as possible so that we can witness it in person."
"Vice President, what about Lin Zhen's level?"
"It's approved. You can give Lin Zhen an identity first. As long as there is no problem with the pill, Lin Zhen's identity will not change. After all, I still have some vision. Whether he is a seventh-grade alchemist or not, you can't pretend."
After getting Long Geer's authorization, Nalan Chenxi was overjoyed and immediately awarded Lin Zhen the badge of a seventh-grade alchemist.
"Nalan Badge, Great Elder Lin Zhen has been promoted to the seventh rank. The position of Great Elder of the Nanliang Guild is no longer suitable for him. He is now the Great Elder of the General Association."
"Haha! I know this very well, Vice President. Brother Lin Zhen has lived up to our expectations. From now on, he will be the Grand Elder of my Alchemist Guild temporarily staying there. I promise to entertain and take good care of him, and find a time for him to go to Daqin."
"Okay! I will inform the president of this good news immediately. Lin Zhen, you'd better hurry up and make the elixir. This is a huge fortune."
Lin Zhen smiled and nodded. He could see that Long Geer wanted him to go to Daqin immediately, but Lin Zhen would not leave until the work was done.
Nalan Chenxi brought the new training and badge, and officially represented the association to announce that Lin Zhen had been promoted to the seventh-grade alchemy master! In the entire Nanliang, the number of masters did not exceed five. It could be said that at this moment, Lin Zhen had reached the pinnacle of his life and could almost be regarded as the youngest seventh-grade alchemist.
"Brother Lin, don't worry. The Alchemist Guild will guarantee your safety this time." Nalan Chenxi said with great confidence.
Lin Zhen glanced at Nalan Chenxi and said, "Brother, when will the royal family's decision come out this time?"
Nalan Chenxi thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, or at most the day after tomorrow, a conclusion will be made regarding your case. But don't worry, I have a way to get you out of Nanliang."
"What about Xuan'er?" Lin Zhen said lightly.
Nalan Chenxi was stunned. At this moment, he also knew Lin Zhen's attitude. The conflict between him and the royal family was irreconcilable. No matter what efforts anyone made, it would be useless. Liang Zhihuan was determined to deal with Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen was also determined to deal with the royal family.
"In that case, I can only hope that you are safe and well. No matter where you go in the future, just remember that the Alchemist Guild is also your home."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly, then stood up and walked into the room. He did not seem to be very happy about his advancement to the seventh-grade alchemist.
"There are only two days at most. Within these two days, I must find out the truth about the Soul-Chasing Bell."
He opened the dimensional universe again. This time, Lin Zhen's identity was upgraded, and the identity authority in the dimensional universe was also changed synchronously. So this time, Lin Zhen could finally look up information about the Soul-Hunting Bell.
"The Qingye Sect's Soul-Chasing Bell is a magical skill used to control the future leader of the sect. The controlled person will suffer memory disorder at the least and mental disorder at the worst, becoming a madman or a fool. The principle is to use the black lotus from the bottomless abyss and the blood flame from the sea of blood, plus..."
All kinds of texts like heavenly books appeared in front of Lin Zhen's eyes, but he still had to read and learn them all.
After about two hours, Lin Zhen slowly closed the dimensional universe.
He has figured out how to concoct the elixir. Although the process is slow and requires gradual progress, Lin is confident that he can complete it.
Now the biggest problem is no longer the antidote, but how Lin Zhen is going to face the people from the Qingye Sect and the Nanliang royal family?
In another day or two, Lin Zhen will be unable to move in Nanliang.
Many things need to be prepared in advance.
