In fact, whether you apply for this or not does not affect whether you are an alchemist, but if you do not apply for a formal title in the academy, you will not be able to get a place in the professional specialty student.
The alchemist assessment is somewhat formal. Professor Jin, who is rarely seen, also appeared at the assessment site. He looks like a very handsome middle-aged man. It is said that he has been in this world for more than 50 years. He should be an old man in his 70s, but he looks about 40 years old. He looks like a friend of middle-aged and elderly women in a tuxedo.
The assessment is very simple. Three carnivorous beasts as big as elephants have been skinned, deboned, and cleaned. Three portions of blood and flesh essence must be extracted within three hours. The purity must reach more than 95% to be qualified.
There is no additional evaluation for higher purity, but there will be hidden scores.
As usual, the bones are thrown into a special machine to be crushed into fresh bone powder, and the meat is the same, which is beaten into fresh minced meat.
Then pour the bone powder and minced meat into a special alchemical instrument and grind it. After grinding, pour it into the second instrument for a second fine grinding, and a third fine grinding, and finally obtain the finely ground powder, and then pour it into a large pot and boil it into meat paste.
Finally, filter the meat paste to remove the residue, leaving only the rough embryo of the blood and flesh essence melted into liquid for use.
The above stage is the preparation stage, and any apprentice can do it according to the instructions. The only difficulty is to master the boiling temperature. The boiling temperature of different fierce beasts is different, which requires mental power to master.
But this is still not difficult. After all, some common fierce beasts have had standard boiling times for so many years, and you just need to look at the time and the temperature.
The focus is on the next process, purification.
This involves the delicate application of mental power and the understanding of the complex blood and flesh components. The mental power is probed into the rough embryo of the blood and flesh essence, distinguishing the composition of the blood and flesh essence one by one, and identifying the impurities, and then controlling and separating them with mental power.
At this point, it is time to distinguish the level of the alchemist. Before his own mental power is exhausted and before the rough embryo of the blood and flesh essence solidifies, he should try to distinguish all the essences and impurities and successfully separate them.
It looks difficult, but it is actually more difficult.
You must know that he is not strong enough now and cannot use extraordinary means. He can only use this elementary boiling method, which is time-consuming and laborious.
At the same time, it is just ordinary beasts that are refined. If it is those beasts with strange powers or monsters with strange powers, the alchemist needs to use mental power to remove the monster's strange power and mental imprint hidden in every cell. Just think about how terrible this requirement is.
Fortunately, it is only the simplest alchemist assessment now, using only ordinary beasts. It is not difficult for Lin Xiao. It is easy to extract the blood and flesh essence of three beasts in three hours. The purity is
"96.4%, excellent!"
A college professor who presided over the assessment and is also a senior alchemist clapped and announced the result loudly.
Everyone applauded, and several adventers who came to watch the ceremony sent envious blessings.
He was indeed envious. With this identity, he would not have to worry about the monthly exams in a year. As long as he served the academy for a fixed period of time every month, he could stay in the academy forever, for at least ten years.
At the same time, with this identity, he could openly take private jobs to earn resources, which was much more comfortable than them.
Without any worries, Lin Xiao arranged his time reasonably and officially began his tense but quite leisurely academy life for other adventers.
In addition to insisting on meditation every day, he would take time to go to class, and from time to time he would take some private jobs to earn some money to teach private lessons, which was called "opening a small stove".
A year later, adventers with the same grades were preparing for the monthly exams in the second year, and he still took classes leisurely according to the usual frequency.
The second year was a little easier than the first year. The basic courses were reduced a lot, but there were more more profound elective courses.
Yes, most of them were elective courses that required extra money to study, and only three free main courses were added, namely.
Basic rune construction!
Analysis of physical rules!
On energy particle capture and confinement!
That is to say, starting from the second year, they will start to choose basic runes and use their mental power to condense a complete totem rune in preparation for building the basic totem rune framework.
By the way, this physical rule analysis refers to the understanding of basic physics by the totemists in this world, not the rules.
As for the capture and confinement of energy particles, this is just a theoretical course and is useless at this stage. It will only be exposed after the totem rune framework is constructed in the future and the formal totemist apprentice will be exposed to it. Now it is just a preparation in advance.
Lin Xiao studied step by step without rushing, and only started to try to condense totem runes with mental power after a year and a half.
At the beginning, he used the basic runes distributed by the school to learn, and used mental power to condense into mental power threads in his mind. This is very advantageous for the adventers. With the experience of divine creatures in the previous life, everyone is a master in this regard. It is easy to capture and condense the invisible and intangible mental power into threads, and then constrain it to form patterns.
It took only a few attempts to successfully form the rune pattern, and it took only four attempts to formally condense the totem rune.
Next, he kept trying to condense the eleven basic runes one by one, and then he bought a full set of first- and second-level runes, as well as some special runes from the academy, and tried and analyzed them one by one.
Mainly analyzing, he disassembled these runes one by one and compared them with other runes one by one.
For example, the basic power rune was compared with the first-level power rune, the second-level power rune, and even the third-level power rune to find their patterns.
Lin Xiao, who was not short of money, had already bought the full set of third-level runes and the two fourth-level runes from Professor Jin for research.
When other students began to try to condense runes in the second year, he only started to try in the second and a half year.
While other students have been refining runes one by one, he is still trying, experimenting, and occasionally taking time out to do some private work to earn some money.
Time passed slowly in this preparation, and three years passed unknowingly.
Lin Xiao got up early that day. He planned to try to analyze the last two remaining level 4 runes today. If he succeeded, he had a bold idea.
As soon as he opened the door, he found a letter in the mailbox at the door. He opened the metal box with the key and took out the envelope. He saw a familiar pattern on the back. It was sent by the Advent Organization. When he opened it, it was an invitation letter.
The classmates who entered school with him were eliminated one after another in the past few years. The last three remaining and the other Adventers of the previous class were almost ready. Some had successfully built the totem rune framework, and some were almost there. Next, they needed to prepare a special resource to make the totem rune framework qualitatively change, so as to be promoted to formal totem master apprentices.
This special resource is called parasitic power. It is a special power obtained from monsters with terrible power such as strange monsters, demons or evil creatures. It is called parasitic power. It has the ability to transform totem runes and is a must for them to be promoted to totem masters.
Simply constructing the totem rune framework is only the foundation. What is constructed now is just a rough embryo. It is necessary to use parasitic power to make the framework undergo qualitative changes, thereby deriving a totem talent tree. This can be considered a formal totem master apprentice.
Monsters with parasitic power are very powerful and extremely rare in this continent. Although the school has information about this, it cannot be provided free of charge, and they need to obtain it by themselves.
But this is not the key. The key is that once the monster dies, the parasitic power will quickly dissipate and must be collected quickly. Therefore, all apprentices who have successfully constructed the totem rune framework and have greatly increased their strength have to go hunting in person.
Lin Xiao checked the departure date on the invitation letter. There is still a month to prepare. Considering his current preparations, he decided to accept it. He
wrote a new letter and put it on the other side of the mailbox outside. Someone will come to collect it regularly later.
Back in the dormitory, he began to analyze the last two runes.
This one is a level 4 power rune, which can increase the strength by up to 600 kilograms, and the other is a level 4 speed rune, which can increase the speed by 300%.
The main purpose of analyzing these two runes is to understand the difference between the structure of level 4 runes and level 3 runes, so as to deduce the advanced forms of other runes.
After spending two days to deduce, Lin Xiao hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the dormitory and began a new round of retreat.
It is called retreat, but in fact it is to deduce with the Creation Cube.
Use the analysis function of the Creation Cube to split all the runes, and then re-analyze the essence of the runes according to the rules of many totem runes to obtain the essence.
The reason why he didn't do this before was because he had to understand the composition of these runes and be able to successfully condense totem runes. If he didn't know it himself and had no impression in his mind, he couldn't put it together after being decomposed by the Creation Cube.
At this time, Lin Xiao has analyzed 38 runes in succession over the years, covering all basic runes and derivative runes that can be used as the basis.
When the Creation Cube slowly rotates, all the runes are decomposed into nothingness that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but in his perception, the many runes are still there.
If there hadn't been an impression left in the mind by the previous analysis, this nothingness would have really become nothingness.
In his perception, these runes were still there, but they had been decomposed into concepts that were invisible to the naked eye.
Then, a trace of good fortune energy slowly merged into it, and the magic cube of good fortune spewed out a faint flame and slowly rotated, and a trace of extremely mysterious breath surged out.
There are two ways to strengthen the magic cube of good fortune. One is to strengthen the essence on the existing basis.
For example, a thousand-degree fire is strengthened to a fire of ten thousand degrees or even higher, such as the true fire of the sun. This is still fire, but the essence has been strengthened.
The other is a comprehensive strengthening. For example, if you add other things to the essential fire, such as thunder, or yin and yang, it will become thunder fire, yin fire, yang fire, and further strengthening will be thunder fairy fire, Xuanyin fire, nine yang true fire, etc., which can be said to be a reborn thing.
