Faced with Fa Ma's repeated inquiries, Nie Yuan stated with certainty that he had come to take the exam to become a fourth-grade alchemist.
Fama made the arrangements immediately.
Soon, the group arrived at a private alchemy room.
All the materials and prescriptions were delivered.
Nie Yuan picked it up and glanced at it. Although it was the first time he had seen the recipe for the Breaking Strength Pill, the relevant refining steps, as well as the precautions for controlling the heat, refining, and condensing the pill, still subconsciously surfaced in his mind.
The advantage of having over ten years of experience is clearly demonstrated at this moment.
It's safe!
Once Nie Yuan made up his mind, he prepared to begin.
"You've refined Power-Breaking Pills before?"
Fa Ma is an alchemist, and you can tell from Nie Yuan's actions that he plans to start next.
Nie Yuan replied truthfully, "This is the first time we've met."
"Then you should take a closer look; there's no time limit for the assessment."
Fa Ma frowned slightly. As a qualified alchemist, being familiar with the pill formula before refining it has a great influence on the success rate of the pill refining.
"President Fama, no need."
Nie Yuan smiled slightly and arranged the materials in order.
Seeing this, Fa Ma's brows relaxed slightly; it seemed Nie Yuan really would.
However.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard Nie Yuan say something that shocked him.
"Guild Master Fama, does the guild have any extra medicine cauldrons? I can borrow them."
When Nie Yuan was about to make his move, he remembered that the medicine cauldron he had casually bought was very ordinary, and it was highly likely that it would not be able to withstand the pressure when he tried to refine a fourth-grade pill.
Regardless of Fa Ma's reaction, even Jia Xing Tian, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment.
You're here to take the fourth-grade alchemist exam, and you don't even have a medicine cauldron? Are you serious?
Fama's breathing became slightly heavy.
At this moment, if the person standing in front of him didn't have another identity, he would definitely expel him from the Alchemist Guild without hesitation.
"Bring me a medicine cauldron."
Fama gave instructions to the staff member next to him.
The other party agreed and quickly brought out a medicine cauldron, placing it in front of Nie Yuan.
Thank you.
Nie Yuan smiled at him, then checked him over and was no longer worried.
Flames surged into the medicine cauldron, and the ingredients entered the cauldron in an orderly fashion.
A faint medicinal fragrance gradually wafted from the medicine cauldron.
Originally, Fa Ma had given up hope, but now he stood up from his chair and stared at Nie Yuan's movements with a serious and focused expression.
Is he really that good?!
Watching Nie Yuan's fluid and skillful maneuvers, Fa Ma felt a sense of awe.
Jia Xingtian stood on the other side of Fa Ma, his eyes fixed on Nie Yuan, a look of shock flashing across his face.
Even though he wasn't an alchemist, hadn't he at least seen a pig run even if he hadn't eaten pork?
Having witnessed numerous alchemists concocting elixirs at so many alchemist conferences, Jia Xingtian has observed the process firsthand.
I've never seen anyone at Nie Yuan's age be able to complete the alchemy process so effortlessly.
Especially considering that Nie Yuan himself is a Dou Huang, it proves that in addition to spending a lot of time cultivating, he is also outstanding in alchemy.
Jia Xingtian couldn't help but feel extremely envious of Yunshan.
Such a good person, where else can you find another? He also wanted to bring one back for the Gama royal family.
The process of refining fourth-grade pills is complicated and requires a lot of time.
After some effort, Nie Yuan successfully refined the Power-Breaking Pill. "President Fa Ma, please take a look."
After receiving the pill, Fa Ma examined it carefully, inhaling repeatedly, seemingly astonished by Nie Yuan's skill in refining it.
Nie Yuan stood quietly in place, full of confidence that he would pass the test.
With over ten years of experience, refining a fourth-grade pill is a piece of cake.
After a while.
Fa Ma finally shifted his gaze from the pills to Nie Yuan. "You brat... if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really would find it hard to believe that such unfair people exist in the world."
"So, President Fa Ma?" Nie Yuan smiled.
Fa Ma nodded. "Congratulations, you are now a fourth-grade alchemist."
He ordered his men to fetch the alchemist's robes and badges.
"By the way, Nie Yuan, are you interested in participating in this year's Alchemist Conference?"
Fama brought up Yaoyue's suggestion again.
In his view, Nie Yuan is the right age and has the ability, so if he participates, his chances of winning the championship are definitely high.
Nie Yuan refused again, saying, "Let's give the young man a chance."
Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian looked at each other, unable to find a reason to refute each other for the time being.
Although Nie Yuan is not very old, his fame in the Jia Ma Empire is so great that he doesn't need a champion of the Alchemist Tournament to make up for it.
Fama sighed regretfully.
If Nie Yuan can participate and successfully win the championship, the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire can definitely take this opportunity to further expand its reputation.
The door opened, and the person who had gone to retrieve the alchemist's robes and badge returned.
However, he was followed by two tails.
"Sect Master, you're a fourth-grade alchemist?!"
Liu Ling was starting to lose control of her emotions. Nie Yuan wasn't even that much older than her, so why was he so outstanding?
"Lord Gun King, will you participate in the Alchemist Conference? Probably not, right? After all, the Alchemist Conference is like child's play to you, you definitely won't participate, right?"
Yao Yue's attitude has completely reversed. She used to hope that Nie Yuan would participate, but now she wishes Nie Yuan would go as far away as possible.
She worked hard for this conference, even going so far as to borrow beast fire from the royal guardian beast.
If Nie Yuan participates, all her previous efforts will be in vain, because she really doesn't have the strength of a fourth-grade alchemist.
Seeing her anxious gaze, Nie Yuan smiled and said, "I won't bully you anymore."
Yao Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she looked at Liu Ling with a fighting spirit, "The champion of this year's Alchemist Competition is none other than me!"
"That's not necessarily true. I promised the sect leader that I would keep the championship glory in the Yunlan Sect!"
Liu Ling did not back down at all, especially since the sect leader was right next to her; she absolutely could not bring shame to the sect.
"Instead of arguing, you should practice more."
Fama hadn't expected the two to come in, so he waved them away.
"Sect Leader Nie, what do you think?"
Jia Xingtian asked.
Yao Yue and Liu Ling both looked at Nie Yuan.
What do I think?
Nie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his first thought was of Xiao Yan's name.
However, he remembered something: Xiao Yan participated in the Alchemist Conference to obtain the formula for the Fusion Pill for Medusa.
But now that Xiao Yan and Medusa have no connection, he probably won't get involved.
In that case, the championship will likely fall back to that alchemist from the Izumo Empire...
Nie Yuan suddenly thought of something!
"I can't guess. It depends on who's in better form on the day of the competition."
He did not give a direct answer.
Yao Yue was somewhat disappointed, seemingly wanting to be praised by the Gun King.
She rallied again, "Gun King, you must come on the day of the competition! Then you'll see how I cut Liu Ling down!"
"How arrogant!"
Liu Ling didn't believe the other party had that ability; his teacher was Gu He, the Pill King, who had once won the championship.
"I will go."
Nie Yuan nodded with a smile. In such a large group of people, if he exposed the alchemist from the Chuyun Empire, he could gain a lot of emotional points.
