After entering the main hall, the two second-grade middle-level alchemists on the left and right each took a step back, highlighting the old man in purple in the middle. He looked at the more than 40 people standing in the hall with a smile on his face, stroking his long beard with his hand, and said with great relief: "Congratulations, you have entered the fourth level. Okay, everyone will follow the order and press the number. Go to the position of the alchemy cauldron that corresponds to yours and wait for the assessment to begin. "Yes." Everyone agreed and walked quickly, and within a moment, they were under the ears of each alchemy cauldron. I saw a small green card hanging with the same number as my own. Everyone immediately stood in order, and soon the hall became orderly and tidy. The old man in purple nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand. Dozens of young disciples in white who had been standing on both sides of the hall immediately filed out. After a while, they returned to the hall with plates of neatly arranged herbs. , walked to the side of each assessment disciple. In that tray, everyone can find the medicinal materials that they just memorized during the third level assessment. The medicinal fragrance is fragrant, and there are three parts of each type. The old man in purple looked at everyone in the hall and said: "You must all know the assessment rules. I don't need to say more. However, I will briefly mention a few words here. You must pay attention to them later." "First, during the assessment process, every People only have three chances to refine it. If they fail to refine it three times, they will be automatically eliminated. " Everyone looked shocked, but it was not too surprising. There was just a small commotion. The old man in purple ignored everyone's expressions and continued to talk to himself: "Second, the assessment time is one hour. After one hour, no matter how many medicinal materials you have left, if you don't make a pill at once, it will be counted as a failure." " Wow!" As soon as the old man in purple came out with his second request, everyone in the hall was in an uproar. It is not easy to memorize a completely untouched elixir recipe in a short period of time. To successfully refine a recipe using only three ingredients requires great caution. However, now Xinglin Villa has compressed the refining time of each of them to such a short distance. In just one hour, a completely unfamiliar elixir recipe and only three medicinal materials Once there are continuous failures or time In the past, everyone would face elimination. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Before the old man in purple finished speaking, he continued to speak: "The third and most important point is that after the assessment is over, we will determine the amount of medicinal materials you lost, the quality of the elixirs, the quantity of the elixirs you made, and the amount of elixirs you made. Your ranking will be determined by your soul control and alchemy techniques displayed during the process. Therefore, whoever can use the least amount of medicinal materials to refine the most elixirs with the best quality will win." "In this hall, besides me, there are a dozen alchemists who are watching your every move at any time, so don't try to take advantage of others, or use any other methods, and just make your elixir according to the recipe. All actions taken by everyone during the alchemy process will be recorded and become the basis for affecting your final score in this level. " "Okay, without further ado, if there are no other questions, the timer will start! " The old man in purple clapped his hands, and immediately two boys in green walked in from the door of the palace. They held up a huge bronze hourglass with both hands and placed it at the entrance of the palace. After unplugging the bottom plug, a steady stream of quicksand poured out of the upper layer of the hourglass. It flows down slowly, seemingly slowly, but it will eventually run out. Seeing that the hourglass had begun to pass, the expressions of all the assessment disciples changed. Then they did not dare to neglect and pressed their palms on the fire control mouth of the alchemy cauldron. There is a small earth fire vein running directly from the bottom of the alchemy cauldron. As long as the switch is turned on and the energy is injected, the fire can be caused to rise and the elixir can be refined. However, the exquisiteness of controlling the flame depends entirely on each person's own ability. And this is often a true experience of the direct level of an alchemist. Although a person who is good at controlling flames may not be able to refine a powerful magical elixir, if he wants to refine a powerful magical elixir, he absolutely needs a powerful one. Fire control ability is not available. So, from this moment on, the competition has actually been going on in secret. "Puff, puff, puff" As everyone's strong or weak Yuan Qi surged out from the palms of their hands and entered the alchemy cauldron, in an instant, in the alchemy cauldron in front of everyone, a stream of either blazing or powerful arose. The dim flames made many people's faces turn red. Many powerful people even lost control all of a sudden and let the flames burst out and rolled up several feet high. They almost burned their own eyebrows and were so frightened.?Shrinking Yuan Qi, the flames slowly calmed down. Throughout the hall, dozens of alchemy cauldrons burst into flames, the temperature suddenly rose, and the air became somewhat scorching. However, no one cared about this at this time. Everyone was extremely nervous, knowing that the most critical moment had finally arrived. At this time, all the alchemists from the Xinglin Villa branch must be watching them. It is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker. Therefore, whether to advance or retreat depends on this step. Everyone immediately stopped hiding their secrets and used their own methods to start refining alchemy. ? One by one, the medicinal materials are thrown into the alchemy cauldron from the side at a low price, and then turned into medicinal powder, and then fused and transformed under the high temperature of the flame. "However, whether you can turn it into a pill in the end depends on your soul strength and fire control ability, which cannot be faked at all. "Poof!" Just a moment later, when a disciple was refining the Shadow Seeking Leaf, the firepower was slightly stronger. In an instant, the extremely fragile Shadow Seeking Leaf burned into ashes and turned into a pile of black powder. The bottom of the alchemy tripod slipped out. Without the addition of this crucial spiritual medicinal material, it was difficult to neutralize the other spiritual medicinal materials. In an instant, the entire alchemy failed completely. As a subtle muffled explosion sounded in the alchemy cauldron, all the previously added medicinal materials were scrapped. In front of the alchemy cauldron, the disciple's face was ashen. "Hey!" With a sigh, the many alchemists from the Xinglin Villa branch standing quietly on both sides of the hall shook their heads. "Being blind and reckless will never lead to great success." Then he shook his head, stopped paying attention, and continued to check on the other disciples. After a while, many disciples suddenly became restless and uneasy under the influence of the previous disciple. As a result, a moment later, due to unstable flame control, a mistake was made while refining one of the medicinal ingredients, which led to the entire alchemy process. A complete failure, an opportunity wasted. This made the remaining disciples who were still continuing the refining process even more nervous. With their hands trembling, their spirits were almost stretched like a string. Although they could barely make any mistakes for the time being, in such a state , it is estimated that it is not far from failure. Many alchemists looked disappointed. Xinglin Villa assesses the disciples, and good intentions are seen everywhere. It does not talk about the first three levels, but only these four levels, and does not allow everyone to refine the elixirs they are most familiar with. First, everyone has different elixir recipes, different grades, and what they have learned. Techniques vary, and the final results may vary widely and are difficult to judge. Second, different starting points lead to differences in results. It is too arbitrary and one-sided to judge a disciple's future achievements. Therefore, Xinglin Mountain Forest has found a different path. It does not test the alchemy skills that everyone has learned, but tests everyone's own knowledge of alchemy. A new learning ability. Although alchemy can play a certain role in this, what is more critical is your own heart and understanding. At the same time, refining an elixir that is completely unfamiliar to you will actually reveal everyone's skill in elixirs at a glance. Therefore, those who start refining the elixir without even thinking about the elixir recipe after hearing that it only lasts for an hour cannot even meet the most basic requirements of an alchemist. If they do not perform well later, they will basically It will definitely be eliminated. And at the beginning, this group of people accounted for fifty-six out of ten, almost half of them were eliminated. In other words, there are only about twenty people who are still within the assessment range. Thinking about the scene when more than two thousand people squeezed through the gate, the eyes of the alchemists of Xinglin Villa naturally looked a little ugly. However, not everyone is so reckless, there are still smart people. They first recalled the elixir recipe they had just memorized in their minds, and after confirming that there were no omissions and that they would not be forgotten, they then arranged the attributes and combinations of all the medicinal materials in a simple order, and decided that this would not be the case. After the medicinal materials conflict, or the elixir formation rate may be relatively high, the switch is carefully turned on, and Yuan Yuan starts fire. As the flames burned, several more people began to cautiously try. They carefully added every ingredient in their memory, always paying attention to the changes in fire and medicinal materials, and never mixed two things that might conflict with each other. The medicinal materials were put in together, and slowly, the medicinal materials in the alchemy cauldron gradually condensed and took shape, and there were signs of fusion and formation. However, as the program progressed, it was not known which joint was wrong. There was a muffled "pop" sound, a puff of green smoke rose up, and the refining failed. "Hey!" There were several sighs, but this time it was regret. Although those disciples failed, in the eyes of the alchemist of Xinglin Villa, they nodded secretly and wrote down their names. The scene turned cold for a moment. Those disciples who failedLike the previous disciples, they were dejected and ashen-faced, or they lowered their heads and pondered thoughtfully, inferring where they had gone wrong before. For a while, no one started again. There are only three parts of medicinal materials in total, and one part has been wasted. If you waste another part casually, there will not be many opportunities left. Therefore, no matter whether everyone had no confidence at all and was afraid of failure; or they were secretly thinking about it and had not yet reached the result, they did not immediately make a second attempt. "Hey!" At this moment, the elegant young man in green shirt standing in front of the main hall, standing like a flock of chickens, finally moved. He stretched out a palm as thin as white jade and pressed it on the fire control port of the alchemy cauldron in front of him, and then spit out a touch of light blue Yuan Qi. "Bang!" Then he saw the fire in the alchemy cauldron in front of him jump violently, jumping several feet high, and then completely escaped from the cauldron, hovering in the air, and after shrinking sharply, it actually formed a fireball the size of a fist. , after falling into the alchemy cauldron, it continued to shrink, and finally condensed into a bead, which kept rolling in the alchemy cauldron, and the impact made the bronze cauldron wall "clang", like gold and iron. "Yiyang Ruzhu Technique, this is a disciple of the Yang family, they actually sent people to participate in our assessment?" Around the ancient palace, an old man in his fifties, Qingqu, with a long beard scattered on his chest and a sallow face , cried out in surprise at this time, unable to conceal the horror in his heart.
