Chapter 408: Alchemy Master Assessment
The reason why Ning Xuan dared to take part in the assessment of the Grand Master of Alchemy was because the most basic step to becoming a Grand Master of Alchemy was to condense liquid medicine into pills.
Before Ning Xuan entered this world through the space crack, the first alchemy system she came into contact with was refining pills, which was not difficult for her.
On the contrary, at the beginning, she spent a lot of effort to familiarize herself with the medicinal materials and special alchemy system of this world.
Of course, for the locals who are used to refining liquid medicines, they believe that refining pills requires strong and delicate mental control, as well as a long period of experience accumulation, and unique understanding to be successful.
Although Ning Xuan was the champion of the previous Alchemist Competition and had made many contributions in the field of medical rescue, those events happened not long ago and the military did not do much publicity.
Moreover, those who came to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster Assessment were all big figures who had been immersed in the Alchemy Master level for many years. They did not pay much attention to the Alchemist Competition, nor were they interested in the rising stars in the army.
So when most people saw Ning Xuan also coming to participate in the assessment of the Grand Master of Alchemy, they were dismissive of it.
Of course, they wouldn't say it as bluntly as Lan Shuiyu did.
"How could I be talking nonsense? At her age, she is far from having enough time to learn alchemy or to participate in medical rescue work. Even if she is really gifted and has excellent qualifications, and her mental strength level is very high at a young age, it does not mean that she can take part in the assessment of the alchemy master. It is obvious that she was forced in to learn our methods." Lan Shuiyu shouted dissatisfiedly.
It's no wonder that Lan Shuiyu had such a guess. As long as the students participated in the Alchemy Grandmaster Assessment, they could observe the assessment process of others.
It has not been easy for him to come this far, and he hates the most these young talents who have both connections and strong personal abilities. They can always easily get things that he has struggled to get.
Ning Xuan couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She looked around and asked, "Does everyone have this concern?"
To be honest, Ning Xuan was a little curious about the pill-refining techniques here. However, curiosity aside, she had used and analyzed the local pills here. Although the medicinal power was stronger than liquid medicine, it was much worse than the pills of the same level she refined herself. So she didn't think the pill-refining techniques here were worth learning.
"I don't care. My technique is very complicated. I have devoted myself to studying it for so many years. It's not something you can learn just by watching it twice." Fu Rong spread her hands to show that she didn't care.
"Besides, everyone can observe each other. This is the rule of the assessment. If Master Lan is not satisfied, he can just not take the test." As one of the only two female alchemists taking the assessment, Fu Rong naturally stood on Ning Xuan's side.
Fu Rong has lived for over 100 years. She has also grown up from a young genius and has been famous for seventy or eighty years. Her popularity is naturally not comparable to that of the young Ning Xuan. Especially since Fu Rong's contractors include many big figures from various industries. Even though Lan Shuiyu is arrogant in his daily life, he dare not provoke her.
"The assessment can only be taken once every three years. We have made a lot of preparations to take the assessment, so why don't we take it? As for her, I doubt she has the qualifications to take the assessment. I hope this lady can prove it." Lan Shuiyu pointed at Ning Xuan and said.
Ning Xuan raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when Fu Rong pulled her behind her. "If you need proof, go find the staff in charge of the review. If you have any doubts, you can ask them for an explanation. Ning Xuan has no obligation to answer you." Fu Rong said with a sullen face.
"Miss Ning, don't you have anything to say about just relying on others to take the lead?" Lan Shuiyu didn't dare to argue with Fu Rong, so he turned to ask Ning Xuan.
"Sister Fu Rong is right. What I want to say is the same as what Sister Fu Rong said." When Lan Shuiyu raised the initial question, Ning Xuan was originally disdainful to look at other people's alchemy techniques, but Fu Rong's firm attitude to defend her made Ning Xuan feel a little warm in her heart. Since others treated her like this, she naturally couldn't undermine them.
When Fu Rong heard Ning Xuan call her Sister Fu Rong, she was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but smile. Over the years, she was used to hearing others respectfully call her senior, sir, or master. When she heard someone call her sister, she actually felt very cordial, and even felt that she had become a lot younger.
Fu Rong couldn't help but smile, her eyes curved. She grabbed Ning Xuan's hand and said, "Come on, don't pay attention to him. The test will start soon. Just follow me. I've taken the test several times before, so I'm very familiar with the process."
Fu Rong liked Ning Xuan from the first moment she saw her. Even though she knew Ning Xuan was young, she never looked down on her.
"Thank you for your guidance, sister." Ning Xuan followed Fu Rong and entered the waiting room in front.
Ning Xuan followed Fu Rong and pushed open a simple and heavy carved sandalwood door and entered a room. As soon as she came in, a strong medicinal fragrance hit her nose, making her take a deep breath involuntarily.
The fragrance of this medicine has a wonderful rhythm that calms the mind and seems to cleanse the soul.
"This is the waiting room. Before the formal examination, we can all use the medicinal herbs, alchemy furnace, and fire here. In three hours, the examination questions will be announced here. Participants will select the alchemy furnace and fire here and begin the formal examination."
Fu Rong smiled slightly and explained carefully to Ning Xuan.
"The Alchemist Association does this so that the contestants can familiarize themselves with and choose the fire and furnace that suits them in advance. Of course, this is also one of the benefits of participating in the assessment. During the three hours of waiting, no matter how precious the medicinal materials are, as long as they can be refined into pills, they can take them away. Moreover, the person who refines the most valuable pills can randomly choose the furnace fire of his or her choice, even if the furnace fire has been picked by someone else. He or she can still take it." Fu Rong was indeed very familiar with these procedures and inside stories. Ning Xuan's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Ning Xuan surveyed the spacious waiting room. Dozens of crystal medicine cabinets lined the walls, each filled with a different rare medicinal herb. In the center, a long row of diversely shaped alchemy furnaces were neatly arranged. Illuminated by the moonstone inlaid in the ceiling, they radiated a variety of halos. Clearly, these furnaces were no ordinary items.
"Are these all for us to use as we please?" Ning Xuan's voice was a little excited.
