Chapter 41 Apprenticeship with Fa Ma (please seek monthly votes for reading)
One month later.
Gu Yi came to the Alchemist Guild headquarters in Jia Ma Imperial Capital again and followed a passage into the hall.
Today, the Alchemist Guild will recruit three alchemist apprentices. This is also an opportunity for Gu Yi to become a disciple.
At this time, there are many people waiting here with a faint medicinal fragrance, many of whom are in their thirties or forties.
They are all apprentices who want to become alchemists.
It’s just that their alchemy talent is not good. After working hard for most of their lives, they are still stuck as alchemist apprentices and have not been promoted to first-level alchemists.
So they want to take this opportunity to enter the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, get guidance from real alchemists, and get more favorable medicinal materials from the guild to practice, and see if there is a glimmer of hope to become a first-class alchemist.
When Gu Yi came to the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Although Gu Yi is very tall, looking at his immature face, they can tell that Gu Yi is no more than twelve years old.
"This kid shouldn't even be a fighter, so why would he come to take the assessment of an alchemist apprentice?"
Fighter is another condition for becoming an alchemist.
Because if you are not a fighter, you cannot practice fire attribute skills. The Dou Qi in your body is too thin to form Dou Qi flames, so naturally you cannot make elixirs.
“Is this child already a fighter?”
“I heard that an eleven-year-old genius fighter appeared in Wutan City in the eastern province of the empire. Is it possible that this is the case? Is this the genius? ”
Some people had expressions of surprise on their faces, unsure whether Gu Yi was a real genius or just coming to see the excitement.
Their doubts did not last long, as the guild's assessment for recruiting apprentices began.
Gu Yi came to the staff and handed him the registration form.
"Eleven years old? Three-star fighter!" The staff looked at the information on the registration form and couldn't believe their eyes.
Gu Yi nodded and immediately circulated the energy in his body, releasing an aura at the level of a three-star fighter.
——In this month, Gu Yi absorbed the remaining energy in Ziyun Wing, plus the results of his own training for a month.
His soul power level has broken through to level 25, and his physical fitness and strength have also improved a bit, reaching the peak of the fourth level of Qi Martial Realm.
Feeling the real aura, everyone around was shocked.
The eleven-year-old three-star fighter...
At this age, their cultivation level was only the fourth or fifth level of fighting spirit. In comparison, the talent gap between them There is a difference between cloud and mud.
What a heaven-defying genius this is, there must have been few in the Jiama Empire for thousands of years.
If there are no accidents, the minimum achievement of this child is to be a strong Dou Huang, or even a Dou Zong.
Gu Yi smiled slightly. The age on the registration form was naturally forged. Otherwise, if his real age was eight years old, the sensation would be even greater.
“Can I take the Alchemist Apprentice Assessment now?”
“Of course, please!” The staff quickly moved out of the way.
Watching Gu Yi's figure disappear around the corner, the staff members perked up and quickly informed the guild president and vice-presidents as quickly as possible.
As for Gu Yi, he has already begun the assessment of the alchemist apprentice in a small room.
The content of this assessment is for Gu Yi to use flames to refine the five low-level medicinal materials on the table in front of him into medicinal liquid.
Gu Yi's face was calm. He had already expected this assessment requirement.
When he proved his alchemy talent to Beilao a month ago, he was also refining the medicinal solution.
Because whether in Jiuxiao Continent or Dou Qi Continent, refining medicinal liquid is the first step in alchemy, which has trapped countless apprentices who want to become alchemists.
This step involves many factors. It tests the alchemist's understanding of the structure and properties of various medicinal materials, the strength of the alchemist's soul perception, and his ability to control flames in subtle ways, etc.
Alchemy is a delicate job.
In the process of refining the medicinal liquid, if the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials are not well understood, the soul's perception will not be able to detect the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials that change at any time due to factors such as temperature, and it will not be able to control the flame well, making the temperature higher. Errors will occur during refining, causing the medicinal materials to be burned to ashes.
This is also the reason why alchemists have a low elixir-making rate and consume a large amount of medicinal materials.
That day, Gu Yi refined nine kinds of medicinal materials in front of Beilao. Only the last two failed due to lack of energy in the body and the inability to perfectly control the flame temperature in the alchemy furnace.
The success rate is as high as 70%! Moreover, there are very few impurities in the medicinal liquid, so it can be used to refine elixirs.
Gu Yi was new to alchemy, but he was able to extract 70% of high-quality medicinal liquid.
It can be seen that Gu Yi has a profound understanding of the properties of medicine, and his soul perception and control are far beyond ordinary people.
This shows how talented he is in Alchemy!
Beilao was speechless for a long time at that time. He could only lament that the world of genius is not understandable to ordinary people.
Gu Yi actually has extraordinary talents in both martial arts and alchemy.
After this incident, Beilao agreed to Gu Yi's request to take the alchemy path, and expressed that the Yunhai Sect would fully support it and would be responsible for providing him with the elixir recipes and medicinal materials needed for alchemy.
Gu Yi, the alchemist of Yunhai Sect, can also go to consult and ask questions at any time.
However, Beilao also had a request, that is, Gu Yi should not neglect his martial arts practice, and his main task every day was to practice.
This world is ultimately dominated by martial arts, and alchemy is only a means to assist warriors in their practice.
As the hope for the rise of Yunhai Sect, Gu Yi cannot let his martial arts practice go to waste.
......
So the current assessment of the alchemist apprentice is not difficult at all for Gu Yi.
Gu Yi briefly checked the five medicinal materials and determined whether their medicinal properties were yin-cold, masculine, or had other medicinal properties.
Gu Yi decisively picked up the alchemy furnace in the room, poured the energy in his body into the alchemy furnace, activated the flame of the alchemy furnace, and controlled it at a suitable temperature.
He grabbed a medicinal plant with his right hand and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
The blazing flames swept over, but did not burn the medicinal plant into ashes. Instead, it was under Gu Yi’s precise control. Next, slowly burn the medicinal materials until they melt into drops of slightly turbid medicinal liquid.
Gu Yi did not collect the liquid medicine immediately, but continued to roast it repeatedly with flames, carefully controlling the temperature to burn away the impurities in the liquid medicine.
This continued for a quarter of an hour, and after the medicinal solution became crystal clear, like emerald, Gu Yi just took out the jade bottle next to the stone table and put it in it.
Gu Yi then continued to refine the remaining four medicinal materials without stopping.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Yi successfully refined all four medicinal materials.
Gu Yi slowly exhaled a breath, picked up four jade bottles and walked out of the assessment room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw several figures wearing alchemist robes. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have been waiting for a while.
The leader was an old man wearing a purple alchemist robe. The medicinal cauldron embroidered on the robe clearly had five pill patterns, indicating his distinguished status as a fifth-grade alchemist.
The old man came to Gu Yi, picked up the jade bottle and smelled it, and was surprised to find that the medicinal liquid was of excellent quality.
“At such a young age, you can refine medicinal liquid to this extent. You are a good candidate for refining medicine.”
A gentle smile appeared on his face: “ My name is Fa Ma, and I am the president of the Alchemist Guild.”
“Son, are you willing to become your teacher?”
Gu Yi's heart moved, and information about him quickly emerged in his mind.
Fa Ma, the president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild, is also a fifth-grade peak alchemist. His alchemy skills are second only to the Alchemy King ‘Furuhe’ in the Gama Empire.
He was one of Guyi’s choices to become his disciple.
