Chapter 116 Fire Control

Ignoring the crowd outside who were about to go crazy, Qin Chen came back to the assessment room.

On the open space in front of him, there are six medicine refining tables, which are often used by the refining pharmacists to place pill furnaces, medicinal materials and other items.

But at this moment, on this medicine refining table, there is nothing, it is empty, there are no medicinal materials, and there is no pill furnace.

"What is the second round of assessment?"

"I don't know. Looking at this situation, is it because we want to test the operation? But we don't even have medicinal materials and pill furnaces. How should we test?"

"I hope the assessment will be something I am good at."

Sun Yuan and others who passed the first round of assessment stood in front of the medicine refining table, all nervous and apprehensive.

This second round is one of the ten operations to evaluate medicine refining immediately. It is to observe a person's real operational ability. As long as this second round is passed, it is equivalent to half a foot has stepped into the door of the refining medicine master.

"Okay, first of all, congratulations to all of you. You have passed the first round. In this second round, you will be tested for your ability to control fire. Everyone, prepare first, and start the test in order."

Liu Guang waved his hand and said loudly.

"What, it turned out to be a test of fire control."

"It's over, how do you test this item?"

"I'll go, I'm the weakest in this one. Isn't it all about defense medicine? In the ten operations, it's impossible to control the fire."

Hearing the content of this second assessment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The ten operations of refining medicine contain a lot of content, similar to medicine defense, medicine distribution, heating cauldron, medicine control, fire control, condensing pills, etc...

Among them, the most familiar is the defense of medicine, because distinguishing various medicinal materials is the most basic skill to become a pharmacist, and this is also the test in the past.

But who knows, today's assessment turned out to be fire control.

Isn't this killing people?

Looking at the rather turbulent scene, Liu Guang coldly said: "As we all know, the strength of fire control is the premise of whether a pharmacist can refine a good medicine pill. , how can you become a real pharmacist?"

"You have half a column of incense preparation time. When the time is up, the assessment will begin immediately."

With a big wave of his hand, Liu Guang's face showed displeasure.

How could he not know what these people think.

The vast majority of apprentices in refining medicine are lucky and want to test what they are best at.

But the real pharmacist is to pay attention to the wide news and miscellaneous notes, and there must be no shortcomings.

Fire control is relatively remote, and its role in the early stage of alchemy is not the most important, so many pharmacists do not specialize in practice.

But because of this, Liu Guang chose this item for the assessment, and only in this way can he assess the true refining level of these people.

Not long after, half a column of incense time passed.

"The first one, Lin Yuan, show your fire control ability."

Lin Yuan frowned, came to the refining table, and opened the pattern on it.

hum!

The mysterious array pattern bloomed with dazzling rays of light, and under the pattern, a scorching flame instantly appeared above the refining table.

It's a fire!

Pill fire is divided into many types, including formation fire, real fire, demon fire, earth fire, sky fire and so on.

Among them, formation fire, demon fire, earth fire, and sky fire are all external fires, acquired the day after tomorrow, while real fire is the flame formed by the alchemist's own infuriating energy, and belongs to internal fire.

However, generally low-level pharmacists, especially apprentices, have not practiced special exercises and cannot form true fire. At this time, they usually use array fire instead.

A true pharmacist must be able to use his mental power to make various subtle adjustments to the fire while proficient in activating the fire. Whether it is temperature, shape, or other, the more detailed the adjustment, the stronger the ability to control the fire.

Under everyone's eyes, Lin Yuan began to control the pattern and control the flame.

Under his control, he saw that the flame slowly changed its image, rising to a height of nearly a zhang for a while, and shrinking to the size of a fist for a while.

"Is this your fire control ability?"

Seeing this, Liu Guang snorted coldly: "Controlling the size of the flame is only the most basic ability. You divide the flame in front of you into three, in the shape of a ladder, and show it to us."

Lin Yuan's face was bitter, he gritted his teeth, and even activated his mental power, the flames in front of him suddenly separated slowly.

Controlling flames requires a lot of mental power, and the control of mental power is also a great test. In just a moment, he is already sweating profusely.

Under his control, the flames in front of him trembled, and he was about to succeed. With a sudden puff, the flames went out instantly.

"I……"

Looking at the extinguished flames in front of him, Lin Yuan wanted to cry without tears.

He had concentrated on controlling the flame just now, and was unable to use his mental power to control the formation. When he relaxed a little, the formation lost control and immediately failed.

"You can't even do the most basic fire control, so you are going to take the pharmacist test?"

Liu Guang snorted coldly.

On the surface, fire control tests the pharmacist's ability to control flames, but the actual test is the meticulousness of the pharmacist's mental power.

When an alchemist is refining medicinal herbs, he must not only control the formation, but also control the flames, but also control the timing and quantity of the medicinal materials added, as well as the fusion temperature of the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace.

This is a very complicated and tedious process, and the ability to control mental power is extremely high. Lin Yuan can't even control the most basic fire. Even if he can refine a medicinal pill, it is only opportunistic and cannot be regarded as a real person. Alchemist.

"You should retire. The second round of assessment failed. The next one, Sun Yuan!"

Lin Yuan's face was depressed, but he didn't dare to say a word, he just stepped aside, extremely depressed.

Master Liu Guang's questions were too difficult. For a general alchemist apprentice, it was enough to be able to control the temperature and shape of the flame. To split the flame, it was necessary to form a ladder shape, which was simply an impossible task.

Sun Yuan was also very nervous when he came to the court.

Skillfully stimulated the formation of fire, demonstrated the ability to change the warmth and size of the flame, and then began to divide the flame according to Liu Guang's previous instructions to Lin Yuan.

Sun Yuan's proficiency was obviously stronger than Lin Yuan's. The three flames were quickly separated, but when they formed the shape, they could not be completed. Every three flames approached, they merged together.

Sun Yuan was sweating profusely. He tried nearly ten times, and every time he succeeded.

"You go back too."

Liu Guang's face was gloomy and ugly: "The next one, Xu Jing, is still the same as the above request, divided into three flames, in the shape of a ladder!"

Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng watched from the side, and the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch.

Master Liu Guang's requirements are too difficult. If this goes on, who can pass the assessment?

You must know that when they were admitted to the first-grade pharmacist, they might not be able to do this.

If it goes on like this, no one will be able to pass the second round of assessment.
