Chapter 40
"Han Dong, Qin Xiaotian, since you two are going to do the 3rd Grade Alchemist examination, then I will talk about the rules of the exam! The examination procedure is somewhat different from that of a 2nd Grade Alchemist! First of all, the Dao Academy will prepare 81 different types of spirit medicine ingredients for you. These 81 spirit medicine ingredients can produce ten different types of 3rd Grade pills through different combinations! Of course, since there are real and fake ingredients, you need to distinguish it yourself! The rule of examination is that within three hours, three different types of 3rd Grade pills must be refined through these ingredients, and the pill formation rate must reach more than 30%. If any of the minimum standards fail to meet the requirements, your examination will fail! Do you understand?"
When Ximen Lie said this, all the cultivators present frowned.
Obviously, the difficulty of 3rd Grade Alchemist's examination is far beyond their imagination!
It doesn't mean that if you can refine the 3rd Grade pills, you will definitely be able to advance to the 3rd Grade Alchemist. In fact, Han Dong is not the only student in the Alchemy Department who can refine the 3rd Grade pills.
It's one thing to be able to refine a 3rd Grade pill! But it's still another matter to be able to refine the 3rd Grade pills without sufficient high-level ingredients and also to be able to ensure a certain pill formation rate and quality!
For an example, some alchemists use the best ingredients to refine low-level pills, which can make up for the shortcomings of their pill refining technique to a certain extent, but it's still a waste anyway! Even if such a person can refine a 3rd Grade pill, the actual quality is still 2nd Grade.
"Is this the exam for the 3rd Grade Alchemist? It seems to be much more difficult than I thought!"
"I see. I originally thought that as long as one could refine a 3rd Grade pill, anyone could do succeed. It turns out that there is such a big difference!"
"Many of the ingredients provided by the Alchemy Pavilion are counterfeit ingredients. Just distinguishing them is a headache. In addition, you need to ensure the quality and the rate of alchemy within the specified time. Every detail cannot be wrong. Most likely, if you don't have any amazing pill refining attainments, you can't become a 3rd Grade Alchemist!"
