Chapter 623: Rich Second Generation King
As you enter the gate of the Alchemist Guild, the fragrance of elixirs hits you in the face.
There were a large number of people in the hall, most of whom were at the Star Domain Stage, and there were even five or six Realm Kings, but they were all sitting and waiting in an orderly manner, and no one dared to act rashly here.
Those who have tests to take and those who want elixirs are all waiting to be received by the alchemist inside.
Lin Zhen registered first, and then sat in the last seat. This seat was arranged in a circular manner, which was basically like sitting in a queue. When the person in front finished, all the seats would automatically rotate once and move forward one person.
The receptionist at the front desk is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has a pleasant voice, which is a pleasure to listen to.
"Elder Qian's elixir is not ready yet. Please come back next time."
"Deacon Du will need to refine some pills soon. You only have ten minutes. Hurry up and go in without delay. There are many people waiting behind you."
"Go in for the test. Remember not to make loud noises. The fee is 10,000 per test. If you fail the test, you will have to pay for the medicinal materials you waste. You must remember this. If you don't want to bear the cost of the medicinal materials, you don't have to take the test."
Her attitude was not polite, but no one dared to refute her.
In front of Lin Zhen sat a first-level realm king, rubbing his hands nervously.
Lin Zhen usually saw the King of the Realm looking high and mighty, and had never seen a King of the Realm like this before. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
King Kai turned around and actually looked quite young, with a baby face and a ridiculous watermelon-like hairstyle.
"Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you. I'm planning to take the alchemist exam, but I'm not very confident."
"What grade do you plan to take the test?"
"A third-grade alchemist. I have been studying the art of alchemy for three thousand years. My father said that I have a pretty good talent and should be able to pass the exam to become a third-grade alchemist, but I am still nervous."
"What's your name?" Lin Zhen saw that although this King Kai was very powerful, he seemed a little immature, so he couldn't help but ask.
"My name is Shui Feng. What do you want to do?" said the King of the World, suddenly becoming alert.
"Haha, nothing, I'm here to take the assessment as an alchemist as well." Lin Zhen wrote down the name.
"Just you? You just turned a thousand years old and you want to take the exam to become an alchemist? You are taking the exam to become a first-grade apprentice, right?"
Lin Zhen shook his head: "I want to take the exam to become a fourth-grade alchemist."
"Fuck! Are you kidding me? I studied alchemy for three thousand years and only passed the third level exam. You studied for a few hundred years at best, and you actually have to pass the fourth level exam? Do you know that it is unwise to fool an angry King Kai?"
As he said this, Shui Feng waved his fist at Lin Zhen.
"Alchemy is just like cultivation. It all depends on talent. It's not that you will definitely be better than others just by practicing for a few more years. When I say the fourth-grade exam, I mean the fourth-grade exam."
"Don't brag. Do you think I will believe your nonsense? What my father said is the truth. He said that I was able to pass the third grade because of my talent. Your talent is definitely not better than mine."
"Tsk! I can't beat you. I, Lin Zhen, should be written backwards!" Lin Zhen glared at the King of the Realm.
"Okay, okay! If you can pass the fourth grade, I'll call you big brother. If you can't, then you're out of luck!"
Shui Feng turned his head and never looked at Lin Zhen again.
Lin Zhen smiled, this Realm King was very much to his liking. Although he was only a Level One Realm King, the star power fluctuations on his body were not inferior to those of Level Eight or Nine Realm Kings. It was obvious that he was trained by a super family.
As for who trained him, Lin Zhen had some idea in his mind.
This person can be befriended.
"Water seal!" asked the receptionist at the front desk.
"Coming, coming." Shui Feng walked over immediately.
"Your test time has come. Go now. The test location is in the third room on the left."
Shui Feng nodded and rubbed his hands uncontrollably, looking very nervous.
At this time, Lin Zhen suddenly said: "Hey! Fatty!"
Shui Feng was stunned, and suddenly he looked angry: "I just have a baby face, not fat."
"It's up to you. I just want to tell you, don't lose to me. If you can't even pass the third level, you are not qualified to compete with me."
"Hmph! Boy, you're done. Today I'll let you see the true strength of Master Shuifeng."
Shui Feng was obviously competing with Lin Zhen. He walked in with his head held high and chest puffed out, not seeming nervous at all.
Because Shui Feng was under assessment, Lin Zhen could not go in for the assessment for the time being and could only wait outside.
About half an hour later, the water seal assessment was over.
This guy walked out triumphantly with his hands behind his back, and there was an exclusive logo on his chest.
That was the unique symbol of the Alchemist Guild, with three golden stars on it, proving his identity as a third-grade alchemist.
"Hahaha~! Lin Zhen, you're done. I'll be waiting here today for the results of your assessment. If you lie to me, hehe, Master Shuifeng's methods are very cruel!"
Lin Zhen stood up and said, "Just be prepared to call me big brother. Remember, after you call me big brother, you should follow me and don't go back on your word."
"Tsk! You, hurry up, I can't wait to teach you a lesson!"
The receptionist called Lin Zhen and Lin Zhen walked over.
The lady repeated to him the rules of the assessment. Lin Zhen nodded in agreement and entered the room that Shui Feng had just entered.
After entering, there were two alchemists sitting inside.
One of these two people has five gold stars on his chest, making him a fifth-grade alchemist, and the other one has four gold stars, making him a fourth-grade alchemist.
The Alchemist Guild stipulates that to assess alchemists, one's level must be higher than that of the person being assessed, and those of the same level are not eligible for the assessment.
Seeing Lin Zhen coming in, the fourth-grade alchemist glanced at him and said in a low voice, "What a waste of time."
"Meng Fei, don't say that."
The older fifth-rank alchemist waved his hand and said to Lin Zhen, "What rank do you want to take?"
Lin Zhen first took a look at Meng Fei. This person should be the backer of the scalpers outside. The purchase of the alchemist identity was done through him.
But Lin Zhen still said: "I am not an alchemist yet, so I can't pass the second level directly."
"Yes, if you want to take the test, you must start as a first-rank apprentice."
"Then I will start from the first grade."
The two alchemists were obviously accustomed to this situation and asked Lin Zhen to start immediately.
The first grade is actually not called an alchemist, but an apprentice. The assessment at this level does not require alchemy, but only requires demonstration of medicine preparation and identification of medicinal properties.
There was a pile of medicinal herbs in front of him. The examiner asked questions and asked Lin Zhen to take out the corresponding amount of medicinal herbs.
"One ounce of Fire Cloud Rhinoceros Bone Powder!"
"Seven coins of Devil Cry Grass!"
"One penny for iris powder!"
"One milliliter of blood coagulation!"
Meng Fei quickly gave Lin Zhen a prescription: "If you can prepare all these things within one minute, with an error of no more than 3%, you will pass the assessment of a first-grade apprentice."
One minute is really a big test for an average apprentice, and a three percent error is also very harsh. Generally, the assessment of a first-grade apprentice is only five percent.
The fifth-grade alchemist glanced at Meng Fei, wondering why Meng Fei wanted to make things difficult for Lin Zhen, but he didn't say anything.
Meng Fei had his own plan. The scalpers outside had already sent him messages, telling him about Lin Zhen. In his opinion, if he made things difficult for such people and made them leave, he would have to look for scalpers again, so that he could make money.
He didn't have the courage to make things difficult for the King of Realm just now, but for someone at the Galaxy Stage like Lin Zhen, there was nothing to worry about.
Lin Zhen smiled. For him, who was almost at the level of a fifth-grade alchemist, getting medicine was as easy as breathing.
Without blinking an eye, Lin Zhen worked as fast as lightning and had prepared Meng Fei's prescription in one go.
The fifth-grade alchemist also showed surprise in his eyes. He went over to weigh the medicine that Lin Zhen had prepared and found that the error was less than one percent!
To be exact, it is one thousandth!
This result shocked Meng Fei. You know, even if he personally dispensed the medicine, the error would still be 2 or 3 thousandths. Could it be that Lin Zhen’s strength is stronger than his?
“Have I passed this?”
"Of course. I wonder if you have mastered the power of fire now? If you have, you can show it. As long as you have the power of incandescent fire, you will be qualified as a second-grade alchemist and can officially make pills."
The assessment for the second rank is a display of firepower.
Meng Fei brought a large crystal ball to Lin Zhen: "Pour flames into it. As long as you can make it emit incandescent light, you will be successful."
Lin Zhen stretched out his palm, covered the opening on the crystal ball, and injected a ball of fire power.
Lin Zhen did not use the dark green flame, but only the light green flame. In less than a minute, the crystal ball emitted a light green light.
"Good! Young man, I see your flame still has some power left, very good!"
The fifth-grade alchemist stood up with a hint of excitement on his face. Lin Zhen's performance was beyond his imagination.
"Does this count as me passing the second-grade assessment?"
"Yes, based on your understanding of pharmacology and control of flame power, you already have the basic ability of an alchemist. If you still want to continue the assessment, you will be tested on your actual level of alchemy. Do you want to continue the test?"
A first-grade apprentice is not qualified to make pills, a second-grade apprentice can barely make low-level pills, and only those above the third grade are considered true alchemists and have status and position.
“Of course we will continue to test.”
Lin Zhen came here for the assessment, so he immediately agreed and prepared to start the formal assessment.
Meng Fei frowned slightly. Lin Zhen didn't let him make money. He had decided that he would never let Lin Zhen pass the assessment of the third-grade alchemist easily.
