The examination venue for the apprentice alchemist examination was set up in this building. Every examination venue had twenty alchemy furnaces, and every alchemy furnace took up quite a bit of space. The space around the alchemy furnace was separated by a yellow line, which was the space for each examinee to move around independently.
On the other side of the classroom, a variety of medicinal herbs were piled up like a mountain. Every kind of medicinal herbs was prepared in large quantities. Obviously, these alchemists were going to collect them for alchemy.
The process of collecting the medicinal herbs was also a test of an alchemist's basic skills!
Each alchemist came to their own position according to their number plate. On the side, a tablet was randomly selected for these alchemists to refine.
Because everything was random, no one knew what kind of medicinal herbs they would encounter. Basically, every kind of medicinal herb had to be learned, and these medicinal herbs were basically the most basic medicinal herbs.
Chu Yunfan took a look. The medicinal herb that he was going to refine was called Primary Qi Restoration Pill. The main function of this medicinal herb was to restore True Qi.
According to modern theory, True Qi was a kind of biological energy. This kind of biological energy could not be recovered quickly. The stronger the martial artist, the faster the recovery speed. Usually, it was nothing, but in an emergency, to quickly restore True Qi, it required Qi Restoration Pills. Qi Restoration Pills were divided into Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced. The effects of each were also very different, and the price was also very different.
However, no matter what kind of Qi Restoration Pill it was, it was a very hot commodity. Especially for the Pioneer Team, they had to explore various dangerous places all year round. They would often encounter some extremely dangerous situations, so Qi Restoration Pills had become a necessary medicinal herb.
This was the actual combat part. The remaining part was the theoretical part. If one passed both, naturally, he would be admitted as an apprentice alchemist.
Chu Yunfan did not immediately go to collect the medicinal herbs. Instead, he paused for a moment. At this time, the other alchemist apprentices had already walked to the mountain of medicinal herbs to choose the medicinal herbs they needed.
Each of them used a variety of tools to ensure the weight and size, and there would not be any problems.
However, unlike them, Chu Yunfan did not use a variety of medicinal herbs. Instead, he grabbed the medicinal herbs into his medicine basket in a very rough manner.
Every medicinal ingredient was only grabbed once, and there was never a second action. In the beginning, no one noticed, but very quickly, the nearby Alchemy Apprentices all noticed Chu Yunfan's' rough 'actions.
At first, many people thought that Chu Yunfan was crazy. He was simply messing around. Every single pill in the pill formula had a precise amount. If there was a slight deviation, the effect would be far worse. What he was doing was simply messing around.
However, very quickly, a sharp-eyed Alchemy Apprentice discovered that every time Chu Yunfan grabbed a pill, it seemed like he really did grab the same amount.
Although they couldn't be like Chu Yunfan, who could accurately determine the weight with just a glance and a grasp, they had basically been apprentices for more than ten years, so they more or less had a rough idea of the weight.
Immediately, their hearts were filled with horror. If it was just one or two grabs of the same amount, then it would be fine. But every time he grabbed the same amount, this was not something that could be explained by good luck.
Only then did they understand that this seemingly tender looking high school alchemist apprentice was definitely not here to make up the numbers, but he really had some skills.
Many people could not help but be incomparably shocked in their hearts. To be able to practice to such a degree of accuracy, how many times did he practice grabbing medicinal herbs to be able to achieve such a feeling? It was simply unbelievable.
There were even more speculations that since he was able to become a high-level alchemist apprentice at such a young age, he was probably not self-taught, but had a master behind him.
This ancient method of inheritance not only did not disappear in the Kunlun Calendar era, but it was also carried forward. Many sects had their own unique methods, and there were also many sects in the field of alchemy.
It was just that no one knew which alchemy sect he was a disciple of!
Many people were amazed, but someone retorted, "No, I have seen many disciples of alchemy sects, even if they have secret inheritance, it is impossible for them to be proficient to this extent at this age. Having a secret method only speeds up the speed, it is impossible to directly practice it. Even if many disciples of alchemy sects have become official alchemists, they still need to use auxiliary tools!"
This made Chu Yunfan appear even more mysterious in their eyes.
While they were exclaiming in surprise, Chu Yunfan had already grabbed all the medicinal herbs and returned to his position. He started the fire, added water, and placed the medicinal herbs in order. Everything was as smooth as flowing water. It was as if he didn't even need to think about it. It was as if he had practiced it countless times.
This made many people amazed. After a while, they finally remembered that they were also in the assessment, and a lot of time had passed. The time left for them was not so generous.
Soon, everyone also took the medicinal herbs, returned to their positions, and began to refine different pills. At this time, they did not dare to be distracted and look at Chu Yunfan.
When refining pills, if they were distracted, the entire pill might be ruined, and they would have to prepare for a long time before they could take the test again.
Chu Yunfan paid attention to the process of alchemy from time to time, but this had long been integrated into his bone marrow with Danhuang's memory, and he could almost complete the entire process of alchemy instinctively.
So unlike other alchemists who scratched their ears and cheeks nervously, or kept looking at the time, trying to grasp every second, the experience that Chu Yunfan gained from Danhuang's memory was much more accurate than any alarm clock.
His thoughts drifted away. To him, passing the Apprentice Alchemist exam was just a proof. Then, the pills he refined could be sold in an open and aboveboard manner.
His previous transaction with Lu Qingxuan, if it was really investigated, was actually illegal because he did not have the license of an apprentice alchemist.
This was also a measure taken by the federal government to prevent inferior pills from flowing into the pill market.
Now that this shackle was about to be removed, it would be much easier for him to earn money, and then his sister's illness could be cured.
In fact, in Danhuang's memory, there was also a pill that could treat this kind of congenital disease, but just the medicinal herbs needed were sky-high, and it was not something that the current Chu Yunfan could afford. It was not as convenient and simple as using modern gene therapy technology.
In the end, as long as he could cure his sister's illness, he did not mind using any method!
Just as his thoughts were drifting, two hours passed in the blink of an eye. The alchemy furnace in front of him opened automatically, and a cloud of white mist filled the air, and a medicinal fragrance assailed his nose.
The Qi Recovery Pill, done!
