This was a relatively large room with an empty space in the middle. Surrounding it were many small cubicles made of bricks, and outside each cubicle was a curtain.
In his previous life, Linlong had come here for the test, so he naturally knew that these cubicles were used for the test. The reason why such a secluded space was to allow the participating disciples to focus on the test and not be disturbed by the outside world.
When Linlong entered, there were already quite a few people in the room. Kong Zhi and another instructor were also among them. Other than the two of them, there were two or three disciples from the Alchemist Alliance. The rest were all participants of the test.
When he saw Linlong enter, Kong Zhi immediately came over to welcome him.
The other instructor also walked over with Kong Zhi. When the others saw this scene, they could not help but be stunned. If Linlong was a little older, they would naturally not think much of it. The problem was that Linlong was simply too young. It was impossible for such a young man to be a powerful alchemist.
Could it be that this young man had some sort of background? This was what they all thought in their hearts.
Of course, Ge Xiangming's disciple, Xue Fei, did not think so. When he saw that Linlong actually received such treatment, competitive thoughts surged in his heart. He was prepared to display his best ability later and defeat Linlong.
He was extremely confident in his own strength. Although it was his first time participating in the third grade alchemist qualification test, his strength completely surpassed that of an ordinary third grade alchemist.
"Little brother Lin, good morning." After greeting Linlong, Kong Zhi introduced the two of them. "Elder Dong, this is the little brother Lin I told you about … Little brother Lin, this is the other instructor of our Alchemist Alliance, Dong Jianwu."
"Greetings, Elder Dong," Linlong politely said.
He naturally knew this Elder Dong. In his previous life, Elder Dong had a good relationship with Kong Zhi. Thus, Linlong also received a lot of guidance from Elder Dong and had a good impression of him.
"As expected, heroes come from the young." When he saw that Linlong had a unique temperament and did not have the slightest bit of stage fright in front of people like them, Elder Dong could not help but nod his head in approval.
"Elder Dong, little brother Lin is participating in the third grade alchemist qualification test. Do you have any objections?" Kong Zhi asked Elder Dong.
"Of course not." Elder Dong smiled.
Given his relationship with Kong Zhi, even if he had never met Linlong, he would not object.
"That's good." Kong Zhi nodded and said, "It's almost time. Since everyone is here, let's start the test."
Next, Kong Zhi did a roll call.
There were a total of 15 people participating in the test. Apart from Linlong, the others were participating as second-grade alchemists. However, apart from Kong Zhi, Dong Jianwu, and Xue Fei, no one else knew that Linlong had taken the test.
After that, Kong Zhi solemnly said to the fifteen people who were participating in the examination, "The examination is very simple, it is just for everyone to refine a Tier 3 medicinal pill, Huo Long Dan. Anyone who can successfully refine it will be promoted to a Tier 3 Alchemist."
Upon hearing Kong Zhi's words, some people revealed joyous expressions, while others revealed worried expressions. As for some, they were completely indifferent.
Linlong belonged to the last category.
Refining a Tier 3 medicinal pill, Huo Long Dan, to determine whether one had the qualifications to become a Tier 3 Alchemist. This might seem a little biased, but it was not. This was because the refining process of the Huo Long Dan covered many areas. If one could successfully refine the Huo Long Dan, it meant that one had the ability to refine other types of medicinal pills.
Therefore, this kind of examination was not biased. The reason why some people were worried was because they still did not have the confidence to refine the Huo Long Dan.
"Alright, each of you will enter a compartment, and then we will give you three sets of ingredients. If you can successfully refine a Huo Long Dan in a quarter of an hour, then you will be able to successfully pass the examination." Dong Jianwu said.
Just as the participants were about to enter the compartments, an old man suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.
Upon seeing this old man, Kong Zhi frowned. "Guo Ming, Elder Dong and I will be presiding over the examination today. What are you doing here?"
The old man called Guo Ming chuckled. "If I don't come in, some people will use their power for personal gain and let some people who don't even have the qualifications to participate in the examination."
Upon hearing this, the people who originally wanted to enter the compartment immediately stopped and looked at Kong Zhi and Dong Jianwu.
Although this kind of situation happened frequently in the Alchemist Alliance's examination and had already become a very normal phenomenon, if it was exposed on the spot, the nature would be different. Moreover, the person who was exposed was a mentor of the Alchemist Alliance.
Guo Ming was the same as Kong Zhi and Dong Jianwu. They were both wearing the uniform of the Alchemist Alliance's mentor. Therefore, everyone present could tell that Guo Ming was also a mentor with a glance.
Linlong was naturally familiar with this Guo Ming. In his previous life, Guo Ming could be said to be Kong Zhi's sworn enemy. The two of them often quarreled over some matters. Therefore, at this time today, it was very normal for Guo Ming to cause trouble.
However, logically speaking, Guo Ming shouldn't have known that he didn't have the alchemy qualifications previously. In other words, after he agreed to participate in the examination yesterday, someone leaked the information.
The President, Kong Zhi, and Dong Jianwu wouldn't leak this information out. It wasn't very likely that Ge Xiangming would either. The only possibility was …
Linlong quickly found the person who leaked the information. He looked towards Xue Fei and saw that Xue Fei was looking at him with a provocative expression.
Linlong didn't take it to heart because Xue Fei's strength wasn't a threat to him at all.
"Guo Ming, what do you mean?" Kong Zhi's expression turned cold.
"I don't mean anything. I'm just saying, Mentor Kong, isn't it a little unfair for you to arrange for someone who hasn't obtained the first-grade alchemy qualifications to participate in the examination? You should know that our Alchemist Alliance only has so many resources. If everyone who hasn't participated in the first-grade alchemy qualification examination comes to participate in the third-grade alchemy qualification examination or even the fourth-grade alchemy qualification examination, wouldn't it be a mess? Wouldn't it be a waste of our Alchemist Alliance's resources? "
"Moreover, among the other fourteen people who participated in the examination today, which one of them didn't kill their way up from the first-grade alchemy qualification examination step by step? Is it fair to them? Is it fair to those alchemists who came to our Stellarsky City to participate in the examination? "
Guo Mingyi spoke eloquently and eloquently.
"You …" Kong Zhi was so angry that his face was flushed red.
This kind of thing might be a common occurrence in the Alchemist Alliance and was in line with the Alchemist Alliance's development direction, but the Alchemist Alliance's rules didn't state that such a thing was allowed to happen. Thus, even though Guo Ming's statement was very petty and sinister, it hit the nail on the head. Kong Zhi didn't even know how to refute.
Seeing that Kong Zhi was so angry that he couldn't speak, Guo Ming became even more complacent. He swept a glance at everyone present and looked at Dong Jianwu sternly. "As a mentor of the Alchemist Alliance, I suggest to cancel this person's examination qualification. At the same time, cancel Kong Zhi's Alchemist Alliance mentor qualification! Of course, the latter matter is of utmost importance. It must be submitted to the President and all the mentors must have a meeting. I wonder what Mentor Dong Jianwu thinks? "
Yesterday, when Xue Fei unintentionally revealed this information to him, he immediately wanted to disgust Kong Zhi. Even though it would be difficult to cancel Kong Zhi's Alchemist Alliance mentor qualification based on Kong Zhi's status and strength, Guo Ming was happy to see Kong Zhi jump up and down for a while.
"I …" Dong Jianwu was also a little speechless. Even though he could tell that Guo Ming was sinister, Guo Ming had something on Kong Zhi.
"Since Elder Dong isn't saying anything, it means that you've tacitly agreed. Alright, then I, Guo Ming, as a mentor of the Alchemist Alliance, will chase this unqualified person out of the Alchemist Alliance …" At this point, Guo Ming looked at the examinees present and coldly said, "Yes, who is that Lin Long? Hurry up and step forward. Walk out yourself, or else don't blame me for using force!"
"I am Lin Long. Guo Ming, are you sure you want me to leave?" Lin Long took a step forward and looked at Guo Ming as he spoke in an indifferent tone.
When he saw that Lin Long had actually called him by his name without the slightest bit of respect, Guo Ming's expression immediately darkened. His tone also became heavier. "You are Lin Long? Alright, get out of the Alchemist Alliance immediately. "
He thought that Lin Long was only able to participate in this kind of examination because of his relationship with Kong Zhi. Therefore, he did not care about Lin Long at all.
"Are you sure you won't regret it?" Lin Long suddenly smiled.
This fellow was still able to smile at this moment. How bold. When they saw Lin Long's expression, the examinees nearby were all somewhat shocked.
"Regret? I, Guo Ming, have never regretted anything … Get lost, Lin Long, hurry up and get out of here! " Guo Ming roared. A mere alchemist actually dared to show him such an attitude. How could he still have a good temper?
At this moment, the originally half-closed door suddenly opened and a person walked in.
This person was the president of the Alchemist Alliance. When he walked in, he immediately frowned and said, "Who is making such a ruckus at the examination site?"
When he saw Luo Hong, Guo Ming's eyes immediately lit up and he loudly said, "President, you came at the right time. Instructor Kong Zhi used his authority to privately arrange for unqualified people to participate in the third-grade alchemist qualification examination. Fortunately, I discovered this in time. Otherwise, the reputation of our Alchemist Alliance would definitely be tarnished."
