Chapter 84 Sun Haoran, the Wood that Generates Fire

At this moment, the Alchemy Courtyard was crowded with people.

There were twenty or thirty inner disciples gathered here, their ages varied, some were in the middle stage of Qi Refining in their twenties, and some were in the late stage of Qi Refining in their forties or fifties.

However, they had a common goal - to become an alchemist.

They did not choose to participate in the inner sect competition, but came to the Alchemy Courtyard, ready to accept the assessment of the Alchemy Courtyard, join the Alchemy Courtyard, and strive to become a real alchemist.

In this world of immortal cultivation, alchemists are undoubtedly one of the most sought-after professions.

Alchemists can refine various types of elixirs to help cultivators improve their cultivation, break through bottlenecks, and even prolong their lives.

In a sect, the status of alchemists is often very high and respected by the sect cultivators.

However, it is not easy to become an alchemist.

For those cultivators who want to become alchemists, they not only need to have enough experience, but also need to have unique talents and qualifications.

In addition to having a solid foundation in cultivation, they must also have keen insight, superb alchemy skills, and a deep understanding of various spiritual medicines.

In addition, spiritual root talent is also one of the most important factors.

Without good spiritual root talent, the progress in improving alchemy will be extremely slow.

Although many cultivators hope to become an alchemist, in fact, only a few can really achieve this goal.

Among the one hundred cultivators who try to become an alchemist, perhaps only one can stand out and become a formal alchemist.

When Cao Rui returned to the Alchemy Academy, the assessment in front of the Alchemy Academy had just reached the second round.

More than 30 inner disciples sat upright at their respective tables, staring nervously at the pile of spiritual medicines on the table.

They need to pick out the appropriate parts from these spiritual medicines to form a complete pill formula.

Among them, many spiritual medicines are different from traditional pill formulas, and they need to choose substitutes by themselves and organize them into new pill formulas.

The purpose of this round of assessment is very clear: to test the disciples' familiarity with pill formulas and spiritual medicines.

If a disciple really wants to become an alchemist, then he must be familiar with those common zero-level pill formulas and have a deep understanding of the characteristics and substitutability of various spiritual medicines in them.

Only in this way can we quickly and accurately select the most suitable ingredients from the many spiritual medicines and form a perfect pill formula.

Just as the disciples were concentrating on selecting spiritual medicines, Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi, who were standing aside to preside over the assessment, suddenly shouted in unison: "First Master!"

Their eyes were fixed on the entrance of the Alchemy Institute, and their faces showed respect.

Hearing this title, all the disciples focused their attention on it, and saw a young man in a purple robe, tall and handsome, striding into the examination room.

With the arrival of Cao Rui, the originally tense atmosphere instantly became lively.

The eyes of the disciples who were being assessed were all shining with anticipation.

Secretly thanking their good luck, they had the opportunity to get the first master of the Alchemy Institute to come and observe in person.

The appearance of Cao Rui also made these disciples more confident, determined to show their best side, strive to become the alchemy genius in the eyes of this first master, and successfully enter the Alchemy Institute.

"How was the assessment process?" Cao Rui asked.

"Everything went well." Zhang Chenyi replied.

"The first two rounds are the foundation. The third round of on-site alchemy will show some of their talents." Zhang Chenyi continued.

Cao Rui nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then Cao Rui decided to stay and watch the next assessment in person.

With the end of the second round, the assessment results came out.

Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi judged the scores based on the time and accuracy required for the disciples to form the pill formula.

Next is the third level, which requires the disciples to use their own pill formula to refine the pill.

Ten pill furnaces have been ready, waiting for the thirty disciples to participate in the assessment.

These disciples will be divided into several batches to refine in front of the pill furnace in turn. .

"Start!" With Zhang Chenyi's order, the first ten disciples began to make pills.

They used their magic power to condense the flames, which burned fiercely. The fires were of different sizes, some were weak, and some were as fierce as tigers.

This phenomenon shows that there are obvious differences in the fire attribute spiritual roots of these disciples.

Next, it is the link of smelting spiritual medicine.

The disciples who were assessed all used basic alchemy, which was simple and easy to learn, suitable for beginners.

The Spirit Beast Sect would open this technique to all disciples for free, but it was not easy to practice it to a superb level.

Cao Rui made a rough observation and found that none of these disciples had particularly outstanding performances in terms of spiritual roots or alchemy talent.

When the second batch of disciples came on stage, the situation was still similar, and only one disciple slightly attracted Cao Rui's attention.

This disciple's alchemy skills were relatively proficient, but they just barely reached Cao Rui's standards.

Not long after the second batch of disciples finished refining, the last batch of disciples came.

This batch of disciples also quickly started a fire, and when Cao Rui's eyes swept over one of them, his eyes lit up slightly.

"What is the name of this disciple who is taking the assessment?" Cao Rui pointed to one of the disciples who was refining the anti-aging pill on fire.

Bai Mengli took the registration manual and took a look at it, then replied: "First Master, this person's name is Sun Haoran, he is 20 years old. He joined the Spirit Beast Sect when he was 11 years old. He has been in the sect for nine years. He is now at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and his spiritual roots are wood, fire and earth."

"Sun Haoran." Cao Rui watched this boy carefully as he refined the elixir.

At the beginning, the fire in his elixir furnace was not strong, which showed that his fire attribute spiritual root was not very good.

But this boy has the wood spiritual root, and wood generates fire. He seems to be very good at using wood attribute mana to increase the fire.

It should be the 'wood generates fire' that he figured out by himself. It looks a bit clumsy, but it is very useful.

'Wood generates fire' is not included in the basic alchemy. This boy can comprehend it by himself, which shows his talent in alchemy.

At the same time, this boy is also very clever in grasping the timing of melting the spiritual medicine.

He is a talent.

Buzz!

The elixir furnace in front of Sun Haoran exploded, and more than ten charred anti-aging pills appeared inside.

Sun Haoran's face showed a frustrated look.

"Is this your first time refining the Rejuvenating Pill?"

At this moment, a voice entered his mind.

He looked up and found that it was the head of the Alchemy Institute who was looking at him.

"Reporting to the head, it's the first time." Sun Haoran touched his head.

Cao Rui said, "Well, it's normal for male cultivators to be uninterested in the Rejuvenating Pill."

"But you have to remember that as long as it is a pill, it has pharmacological knowledge."

"In the future, remember not to just look at the efficacy of the pill and decide whether you need to master this pill recipe."

After saying that, Cao Rui turned to Bai Mengli and said, "Let him enter the Alchemy Institute."

Although Bai Mengli was a little surprised, she had already regarded Cao Rui's words as an imperial decree, and replied without thinking, "I understand, head!"

"Sun Haoran, congratulations on joining the Alchemy Institute!"

Sun Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect that he had failed to refine it, but still got the opportunity to enter the Alchemy Institute.

After waking up, he showed an ecstatic look on his face and bowed repeatedly in the direction where Cao Rui left.

"Thank you, First Master! Thank you, two deacons!!"

This was also his good luck. If Cao Rui had not been there, Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi might not have seen Sun Haoran's talent.

If Sun Haoran had not entered the Alchemy Academy, he might have given up the path of alchemy and would never have the chance to become an alchemist.

This Alchemy Academy assessment.

In addition to Sun Haoran, who was admitted to the academy by Cao Rui, there were two other disciples who joined the Alchemy Academy with normal scores.

The quality of the elixirs refined by these two disciples was the best among the thirty disciples present.
