The guard led Ruan Xiyan to an old man in the pavilion hall. "Elder Qian, someone here wants to take the test for the alchemy level badge."
Elder Qian wore a blue badge on his robe. He looked up when he heard the guard's words.
He waved to the guard, who clasped his hands in a fist salute and withdrew.
Elder Qian looked at Ruan Xiyan and asked casually, "What grade of alchemy level badge do we need to take?"
This young girl wasn't wearing any alchemy level badges, so it must be her first time taking the assessment.
Although she is young, her talent is quite good to have become an alchemist.
However, there are quite a few people on the mainland who have become first-grade alchemists at her age.
This kind of low-level assessment has people coming to take it almost every day, and this kind of trivial assessment no longer arouses his interest.
He walked through the assessment process with a blank expression.
Elder Qian asked questions while registering the relevant information.
“I want to take the exam to become a seventh-grade alchemist,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
With a "snap," the pen that Elder Qian was holding was accidentally broken.
He looked up at Ruan Xiyan in shock, afraid he hadn't heard her clearly, and asked again, "What grade?"
"I want to take the assessment for a seventh-grade alchemist," Ruan Xiyan repeated.
Before Elder Qian could say anything, a passing man heard this and laughed out loud without any attempt to hide his sarcasm.
"The assessment for a seventh-grade alchemist is quite demanding. You don't even have a badge of the lowest level, yet you want to pass the exam to become a seventh-grade alchemist."
"The young lady is pretty, but she's spouting nonsense. She's so ambitious and wants to reach the top in one step. She's probably just a con artist trying to amuse us. Elder Qian, don't be fooled."
Kong Sheng crossed his arms and looked at Ruan Xiyan with disdain.
Ruan Xiyan ignored this person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tried to make his presence known, and instead asked Elder Qian, "Can't we just take the exam for the seventh-grade alchemist badge?"
“Of course it is,” Elder Qian replied.
"Hey! I'm standing right here, how dare you ignore me? My grandfather is Elder Kong of the Alchemist Branch."
"I learned medicine from my grandfather since I was a child, and through this exposure, I have now reached the level of a fourth-grade alchemist."
As he said this, Kong Sheng looked extremely smug. He even straightened his clothes to reveal the alchemy level badge on his chest.
"Even if I have exceptional talent in alchemy, I would not dare to presume to say that I can become a seventh-grade alchemist."
"Do you know how rare seventh-grade alchemists are? In the entire Eastern District Alchemist Association, only the branch president has reached the seventh-grade level in alchemy."
“If you’re going to make up nonsense, at least do some research first and make up something that’s true to the facts. Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue by spouting such big talk?”
Kong Sheng scoffed, "Don't you even know where you are? Coming here to embarrass yourself and pretend to be something you're not?"
Listening to the incessant and noisy voices around her, Ruan Xiyan's patience had reached its limit.
She said coldly, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. You're looking down on people. Stop looking down on others with your dog eyes."
"You...you...you called me a dog!" Kong Sheng said angrily.
"Alright, Kong Sheng, say less, or I'll tell your grandfather." Elder Qian spoke up to stop the tense atmosphere between the two.
Kong Sheng usually relied on his good talent for alchemy and the support of his grandfather, who was an elder, and was always arrogant and domineering.
If he doesn't stop him, Kong Sheng might start hitting him on the spot without any restraint.
Kong Sheng glanced at Elder Qian, clearly still not wanting to offend him.
"For Elder Qian's sake, I won't hold your rude words against you. But you want to take the exam for the seventh-grade alchemist badge, so go ahead and take it."
Kong Sheng stood still and said, "I'll just watch from here and see how you embarrass yourself later."
"Oh, by the way, with your overconfident attitude, you might not even make it out of the alchemy room alive. This might be the last time we meet."
Kong Sheng had an infuriating expression on his face that made everyone want to punch him.
Elder Qian looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Are you really going to take the exam for the seventh-grade alchemist badge?"
"Since you understand alchemy, you should know that it is a dangerous thing, especially if it exceeds your own alchemy capabilities."
"If the heat is not controlled properly, it is easy for the cauldron to explode, and even one's mental energy may suffer backlash and severe damage."
"If you insist on participating in the seventh-grade alchemist assessment, and something happens afterward, it will have nothing to do with the Alchemist Association, and you will have to bear all the consequences yourself," Elder Qian solemnly warned.
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "I understand. I will take responsibility for any dangers that may arise during the assessment."
Seeing Ruan Xiyan's stubbornness, Elder Qian shook his head and led her toward the alchemy room where the assessment would be conducted.
He had already made the pros and cons clear, and since the young girl had made up her mind, he didn't try to persuade her any further.
Elder Qian led Ruan Xiyan to the alchemy room where seventh-grade pills were refined.
The materials used to build each alchemy room are different. The materials used in the seventh-grade alchemy room are even harder, since the higher the grade of the pill, the greater the explosive power of the failure to refine it.
The alchemy room must be sturdy enough to withstand the explosion of pills.
The alchemy room is open and transparent, and all the alchemy disciples in the hall can see it clearly.
This is to prevent those participating in the medicine-making assessment from cheating.
Although few dare to tamper with the Alchemist Guild's assessment, precautions must still be taken.
The alchemy room contained an alchemy cauldron, and on the table were various medicinal herbs for refining seventh-grade pills.
"There is no time limit for the assessment of a seventh-grade alchemist. The result of the assessment is to refine a seventh-grade pill. If you are ready, then you may begin." Elder Qian waved his hand.
Ruan Xiyan walked to the alchemy cauldron and began to refine medicine.
She had refined many seventh-grade pills before, so successfully refining a seventh-grade pill was not too difficult for her.
Therefore, she is determined to get this seventh-grade alchemy level badge today.
Ruan Xiyan glanced at the medicinal herbs on the table in front of her and decided to refine a seventh-grade breakthrough pill.
The Breakthrough Pill can guarantee that a person in the Creation Realm will break through to the Transcendent Realm. If a person in the Transcendent Realm takes it, the probability of breaking through to the Supreme Realm will increase by 70%.
Ruan Xiyan selected several medicinal herbs, put them into the alchemy cauldron, and then skillfully extracted the impurities from the herbs.
The power of the Glazed Demon Flame was very strong. Soon, the impurities in the medicinal herbs were removed and turned into pure medicinal liquid.
Ruan Xiyan used her mental power to manipulate the medicinal liquids scattered in different parts of the alchemy cauldron, causing them to merge together.
