As he entered the Alchemist Guild, the fragrance of pills wafted over.
There were many people in the hall. Most of them were at the Star Domain stage, and there were even five or six World Kings. However, they were all sitting there obediently, and no one dared to be rash.
There were those who wanted to take the test and those who wanted pills. They were all waiting for the Alchemist Guild to meet them.
Lin Zhen registered first and then sat at the last seat. This seat moved forward in a circular motion. Basically, it was equivalent to sitting in the queue. When the person in front finished, all the seats would automatically rotate and move forward by one person.
The receptionist at the front desk was beautiful and had a pleasant voice. It was a pleasure to listen to.
"Elder Qian's pills aren't ready yet. Please come again next time."
"Deacon Du will need to refine pills in a while. You only have ten minutes. Hurry up and go in. There are many people waiting behind you."
"Those who want to take the test, go in. Remember, don't make any noise. The fee is 10,000 per test. If you can't pass the test, then you will have to pay for the wasted herbs. You must remember this. If you don't want to bear the cost of the herbs, then don't take the test."
Her attitude wasn't polite, but no one dared to refute.
In front of Lin Zhen sat a first level World King, who was nervously rubbing his hands.
Lin Zhen usually saw World Kings who were high and mighty. He had never seen a World King like this. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
The World King turned around. He looked quite young with a baby face and a ridiculous watermelon hairstyle.
"Ai, you won't understand. I'm planning to take the alchemist test, but I don't have much confidence."
"What grade are you planning to take?"
"Third grade. I've been studying alchemy for three thousand years. My father said that my talent isn't bad and I should be able to take the third grade alchemist test. But I'm still nervous."
"What's your name?" Lin Zhen saw that although this World King was strong, he seemed a bit immature. He couldn't help but ask.
"I'm called Shui Feng. What do you want?" The World King said, and suddenly became vigilant.
"Haha, it's nothing. I'm also here to take the alchemist test." Lin Zhen noted down the name.
"With just you? A brat who had just turned a thousand years old wanted to take the alchemist test? You're taking the exam to become a rank 1 acolyte, right? "
Lin Zhen shook his head: "I want to take the Fourth Grade Alchemist exam."
"F * ck! "Are you trying to trick me? I've studied alchemy for three thousand years and I've only taken the third rank exam. You've only studied alchemy for a few hundred years and you want to take the fourth rank exam?" Do you know that tricking an angry Realm King is an unwise choice? "
As he spoke, Shui Feng waved his fist at Lin Zhen.
"Alchemy is the same as cultivation. It depends on one's talent. You can't be stronger than others just because you've cultivated for a few years. If I say I'll take the Rank Four exam, then I'll take the Rank Four exam."
"Don't brag. Do you think I'll believe your nonsense? "My father's words are the truth. He said that I'm talented enough to get into Rank-3. You can never surpass me in terms of talent."
"Tsk! If I don't surpass you, I, Lin Zhen, will write my name backwards! "Lin Zhen glared at the World King.
"Good, good, good! If you can get into Rank-4, then I'll call you Big Brother. If you can't, then you're out of luck! "
Shui Feng turned his head, no longer looking at Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen smiled. This World King was to his liking. Although this person was only a first level World King, his astral energy fluctuations were in no way inferior to those of an eighth or ninth level World King. He was obviously raised by a super family.
As for who had nurtured him, Lin Zhen had some idea in his heart.
This person was worth making friends with.
"Shui Feng!" The receptionist at the front desk asked.
"Coming, coming." Shui Feng immediately walked over.
"Your exam time is up. Go over now. The exam location is in the third room on the left."
Shui Feng nodded. He couldn't help but rub his hands together, looking very nervous.
At this time, Lin Zhen suddenly opened his mouth. "Hey! Fatty! "
Shui Feng was stunned for a moment before his expression turned angry. "I'm just born with a baby face, not a fatty."
"Up to you. I just want to tell you that you can't lose to me. If you can't even get into Rank-3, then you don't have the qualifications to compete with me."
"Humph! Boy, you're finished. Today, I'll let you experience Uncle Shui Feng's true strength. "
Shui Feng was obviously competing with Lin Zhen. He walked in with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He was not nervous at all.
Because Shui Feng was taking the exam, Lin Zhen couldn't go in for the time being. He could only wait outside.
About half an hour later, Shui Feng's exam was over.
This guy had his hands behind his back and proudly walked out. On his chest, there was a special symbol.
This was the symbol of the Alchemist Guild. There were three gold stars on it, proving his identity as a Rank-3 Alchemist.
"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, you're finished. I'll wait here for the results of your exam. If you try to trick me, hehe … Uncle Shui Feng's methods are very cruel! "
Lin Zhen stood up. "Be prepared to call me Big Brother. Remember, after you call me Big Brother, follow me. Don't go back on your words."
"Tsk! You? Go, I can't wait to teach you an arrogant guy a lesson! "
The receptionist called for Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen walked over.
The receptionist repeated the rules of the exam to him. Lin Zhen nodded and entered the room that Shui Feng just entered.
After entering, there were two Alchemists sitting inside.
One of them had five gold stars on his chest, a Rank-5 Alchemist. The other was a Rank-4 Alchemist with four gold stars.
According to the Alchemist Guild's rules, to take the Alchemist exam, one's level must be higher than the examinee's level.
Seeing Lin Zhen come in, the Rank-4 Alchemist glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Waste of time."
"Meng Fei, don't say that."
The older Rank-5 Alchemist waved his hand and said to Lin Zhen, "What level do you want to take the exam?"
Lin Zhen first looked at Meng Fei. This person should be the backer of the scalper outside. The purchase of the Alchemist identity was done through him.
However, Lin Zhen still said, "I don't have the identity of an Alchemist yet. I can't directly take the exam."
"That's right. If you want to take the exam, you must start as a Rank-1 Apprentice."
"Then I'll start from Rank-1."
The two Alchemists were obviously used to this kind of situation. They let Lin Zhen start immediately.
Rank-1 was actually not called an Alchemist. It was called an Apprentice. There was no need to practice alchemy in this exam. It was just a demonstration and identification of medicinal properties.
A pile of medicinal herbs was placed in front of him. The examiner asked Lin Zhen to take out the corresponding amount of medicinal herbs.
"Fifty grams of Firecloud Rhinoceros Bone Powder!"
"Seven grams of Weeping Ghost Grass!"
"One gram of Iris Flower Powder!"
"One milliliter of Blood Dew!"
Meng Fei quickly listed a prescription for Lin Zhen. "Take these ingredients in one minute. If the error is not more than three percent, you will pass the Rank-1 Apprentice exam."
One minute was not a small test for the average Apprentice. Moreover, a three percent error was very harsh. The average Rank-1 Apprentice exam only had a five percent error.
The Rank-5 Alchemist looked at Meng Fei. He did not know why Meng Fei wanted to make things difficult for Lin Zhen, but he did not say anything.
Meng Fei had his own plans. The scalper outside had already sent him a message and told him about Lin Zhen. In his opinion, if he made things difficult for such people and made them leave, then they would have no choice but to look for the scalper. This way, he would be able to earn money.
He did not have the guts to make things difficult for the World King just now. However, he did not have to worry about Lin Zhen, who was in the Nebula stage.
Lin Zhen smiled. For him, who was almost at the level of a Rank-5 Alchemist, getting the ingredients was as simple as breathing.
Lin Zhen did not even blink. His hands were like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already collected Meng Fei's prescription.
The Rank-5 Alchemist's eyes also revealed a look of surprise. He went over and weighed the ingredients that Lin Zhen had grabbed. The error was actually less than one percent!
To be precise, it was one in a thousand!
This result also shocked Meng Fei. One had to know that even if he personally grabbed the ingredients, the error would be two or three in a thousand. Could it be that Lin Zhen's strength was stronger than his?
"Does this mean that I passed?"
"Of course. I don't know if you have mastered the power of fire now? If you have, then you can show it. As long as you have the power of incandescent flames, you will be qualified to be a Rank-2 Alchemist. You can officially refine pills. "
The Rank-2 exam was a demonstration of one's firepower.
Meng Fei brought a large crystal ball to Lin Zhen. "You can inject flames into this. As long as you can make it emit incandescent light, you will be considered successful."
Lin Zhen stretched out his palm and covered the opening on the crystal ball. A ball of fire was injected.
Lin Zhen did not use a dark cyan flame. He only used a light cyan flame. In less than a minute, the crystal ball emitted a light cyan light.
"Good ~! Young man, I see that your flame seems to have some energy left. Very good! "
The Rank-5 Alchemist stood up. His face was already a little excited. Lin Zhen's performance was somewhat beyond his imagination.
"Then does this mean that I have passed the Rank-2 exam?"
"Yes, according to your grasp of pharmacology and control of the power of fire, you already have the basic ability of an Alchemist. If you want to continue the exam, you will have to test your actual level of alchemy. Do you want to continue the exam?"
A Rank-1 apprentice was not qualified to refine pills. A Rank-2 apprentice could barely refine low-level pills. Only Rank-3 and above could be considered a real Alchemist. Only then would they have status.
"Of course, I want to continue the exam."
Lin Zhen came to take the exam. He immediately agreed and prepared to start the official exam.
