Chapter 56: The Amazement of the Apprentices

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


The examination hall for the alchemy trainee exam was set up in this building. Each examination hall was equipped with twenty alchemical furnaces. Each furnace took up quite a bit of space and the space around each of them was separated by a yellow line. Each examinee was free to move within their own spaces.


On the other side of the hall was a huge pile of various medicinal herbs. Each variety of medicinal herb had been prepared in large quantities. It was clear that the examinees were to retrieve their own ingredients to concoct their pills.


The process of retrieving medicinal herbs was also a test of an alchemist’s basic skills!


Each of the examinees followed their respective numbers and came to their respective positions. From the tablet at the side, they received instructions on what pill they were to concoct. Because everything was random, n0 one knew what medicinal pills they would encounter during the exam. Basically, they had to leam every type of medicinal pill, and the ones they would be tested on


ReadNovelFull.me were the most basic of medicinal pills.


When it was his turm to receive his instructions, Chu Yunfan looked down to see what he had been given. It was a beginner-level Q Replenishing Pill. This pill’s main function was to replenish True Energy.


Modern theories believed that ‘True Energy was a kind of bioenergy. This kind of bioenergy could not be recovered quickly. The stronger the martial artist, the faster the recovery speed. Normally, it would be a small matter. But in an emergency, in order to recover ‘True Energy quickly, one could use Qi


Replenishing Pill. These pills were divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced-leveled ones. The effects of each level were very different, and so was the price.


However, no matter which level of QI Replenishing Pill it was, it was a very popular commodity, especially for exploration teams. These exploration teams had to dive into all kinds of places all year round and often encountered some extremely dangerous situations. The Qi Replenishing Pill was a necessary pill or them.


This was where the practical portion of the test began. After that, they would have to answer a theory paper. If an examinee passed both tests, they would naturally be admitted as alchemy trainees.


Chu Yunfan did not immediately move to get the ingredients medicine.


Instead, he paused for amoment. At this moment, the other examinees had already walked to the mountain of medicinal herbs to choose the ingredients that they wanted to use.


All of them were using all kinds of tools to ensure that the quantity and size of the ingredients they retrieved would not cause any problems.


However, Chu Yunfan had no use for such contraptions for pill concocting


Instead, he grabbed the medicinal ingredients tightly and shoved them into his medicine basket in a very crude manner.


He only picked from each medicinal ingredient available once and there was never a second time. In the beginning, no one noticed this. But very soon, the nearby examinees all noticed Chu Yunfan’s “crude movements”


Many people thought that Chu Yunfan had gone mad. This was just foolishness. All medicinal pills had an exacting amount of each ingredient. If it was even a ittle off, the end result would be far from the desired one. This was simply foolishness.


However, very quickly, some of the observant examinees discovered that every time Chu Yunfan grabbed an ingredient, he was grabbing a very accurate amount.


Although these examinees were unlike Chu Yunfan-who could detemine the exact quantity with just a single glance and a single grab-they had been alchemy apprentices for more than ten years, so they had a rough idea of the quantity.


Their hearts were instantly filled with shock. If it was just one or two times that the quantity was accurate, then forget it. But every time, the quantity was pretty accurate. This was not something that could be explained away by good luck


Only now did they understand that this extremely tender-looking high school student alchemy apprentice was definitely not here to make up the numbers.


He was indeed skilled.


Many people could not help but feel shocked. To be able to hone his skill to such accuracy, how many times must Chu Yunfan have practiced grabbing8 medicine to achieve this? It was simply unbelievable.


Some even speculated that for him to be able to become an advanced alchemy apprentice at such a young age, he was most likely not self-taught and must have had a sect behind him.


This kind of ancient method had not disappeared in this Kunlun Era. On the contrary, it was able to flourish. Many sects had their own unique methods, and many of them had made appearances within the field of alchemy.


It was just that they did not know which alchemy sect he was a disciple of!


Many people were extremely shocked. However, someone retorted, “Tha?’s not right. I have seen many disciples of alchemy sects. Even if they have secret techniques, they would not be able to master them to such an extent at such a young age. If they have secret techniques, they should only increase their speed. It should not be possible for them to master these techniques. Even the many disciples of alchemy sects who have become official alchemists still need to use tools


This made Chu Yuntan seem even more mysterious in their eyes.


As they were exclaiming in admiration, Chu Yunfan had already grabbed all the medicinal herbs he needed and returned to his position. He lit a fire, put on a pot of water, and threw in the medicinal herbs in order. Everything was as smooth as flowing water, it was as if he did not even need to think. Everything was as if he had rehearsed it countless times.


This caused many people to sigh in amazement. After a long while, they finally remembered that they were also in the midst of their own exam. A lot of time had passed and the time they had left was not too generous.


Very quickly, everyone finished gathering their ingredients, returned to their seats, and began concocting their respective medicinal pills. At this moment, they did not dare be distracted by Chu Yunfan.


If they were to get distracted during the concoction process, the entire process might fail. Then, they would have to prepare all over again for a very long time before they could resit the exam.


Chu Yunfan would occasionally pay some attention to the process in front of him. However, along with the memories of the Alchemy Emperor, these things had long been fused into his bone marrow. The entire pill concoction process was practically second-nature to him.


Therefore, he was not like other examinees who were pinching their ears and scratching their cheeks nervously or constantly looking at the time, trying to grasp every second that passed. The experience that Chu Yunfan had obtained from the Alchemy Emperor’s memories was much more accurate than any alarm clock.


However, his thoughts drifted away. To him, he only needed to pass this exam so that he would have proof that he was an alchemy trainee. After that, he would be able to sell the pills he made openly.


Previously, if the transaction between him and Lu Qingxuan were really to be investigated, it would be considered an illegal transaction because he did not have an alchemy trainee’s license.


This was also a measure taken by the Federal Government to limit the flow of ow-quality pills going into the pill market.


Now that this shackle was about to be removed, it would be much easier for him to earm money. By then, curing his sister would not be a big problem.


Actually, in the Alchemy Emperor’s memories, there were medicinal pills that could treat this kind of illness. However, the medicinal ingredients required were sky-high in price. It was simply not something that the current Chu


Yunfan could afford. He might as well use moderm gene therapy techniques as they were more convenient and simple.


After all, all roads lead to the same destination. In the end, as long as he could cure his sister’s illness, he did not mind using any method!


As he daydreamed, two hours passed in the blink of an eye. The alchemical furnace in front of him automatically opened up. A white mist poured out, and a medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils.


Qi Nourishment Pill-success!
