Chapter 116 Fire Control

Ignoring the people who were going crazy outside, Qin Chen came to the examination room again.

On the open space in front of him, there are six medicine refining tables, which are often used by medicine refiners to place pill furnaces, medicinal materials and other items.

But at this moment, on this medicine refining platform, there was nothing, empty, no medicinal materials, and no pill furnace.

"What will be assessed in this second round?"

"I don't know. Looking at this posture, is it necessary to assess the operation? But there are no medicinal materials and pill furnace, how do we test?"

"I hope I will be better at the assessment."

Sun Yuan and others, who passed the first round of assessment, stood in front of the medicine refining table, each with anxious expressions.

This second round is one of the ten operations of refining medicine immediately. It is when observing the real operation ability of a person, as long as it passes this second round, it means that half of the foot has entered the door of the refining medicine master.

"Well, first of all congratulations to you, you have passed the first round. In this second round, you will be assessed for your ability to control fire. You should prepare first and start the assessment in order immediately."

Liu Guangyi waved his hand and said loudly.

"What, it turned out to be a test and control fire."

"It's over, how can I test this item?"

"Let me go, I am the weakest in this item. Wasn't it all about trial drugs or something? In the ten operations, why didn't it have a turn to control fire?"

Hearing the content of this second assessment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The ten operations of refining medicine contain a lot of content, similar to defense medicine, medicine division, hot pot, medicine control, fire control, pill condensation, etc...

Among them, the most familiar one is the defensive medicine, because distinguishing various medicinal materials is the most basic skill to become a pharmacist, and this is the same item that has been tested in the past.

But who knows, today's assessment turned out to be fire control.

Isn't this killing people?

Looking at the scenes of quite a bit of turmoil, Liu Guang coldly shouted: "As we all know, the strength of fire control ability is the prerequisite for whether a pharmacist can refine an excellent pill. If even the detail of fire control is not well done. What about becoming a real pharmacist?"

"You have half a stick of preparation time. Once the time is up, the assessment will begin immediately."

With a big wave of his hand, Liu Guang looked unhappy.

How does he not know what these people think.

The vast majority of pharmacy apprentices are lucky and want to test what they are best at.

But the real pharmacist pays attention to the miscellaneous knowledge and must not have any shortcomings.

Fire control is relatively remote, and its role in early alchemy is not the most important, so many alchemists do not practice specifically.

But because of this, Liu Guang chose this one for the assessment, and only in this way can he assess the true level of refining these people.

Not long after, Banzhuxiang time passed.

"The first one, Lin Yuan, show your fire control ability."

Lin Yuan frowned, came to the refining table and opened the pattern above.

Hum!

The mysterious array pattern bloomed with bright rays of sunlight, and under the pattern, a scorching flame instantly appeared above the refining table.

This is a fire!

There are many types of pill fire, including burst fire, real fire, demon fire, earth fire, sky fire and so on.

Among them, the fire, the demon fire, the earth fire, and the sky fire are all external fires acquired from the day after tomorrow, while the real fire is the flame formed by the alchemist's own true energy, which belongs to the internal fire.

But generally low-level pharmacists, especially pharmacists, have not practiced a special technique, and cannot form a real fire. At this time, they will generally use a fire to replace it.

A true pharmacist must be proficient in stimulating the fire, and at the same time be able to use mental power to make various subtle adjustments to the fire, whether it is temperature, shape, or other. The more detailed the adjustment, the stronger the fire control ability.

Under all eyes, Lin Yuan began to control the formation pattern and control the flame.

Under his control, the flame slowly changed its image, rising to nearly ten feet high for a while, then shrinking to the size of a fist, burning waves, and the temperature was pressing.

"This is your fire control ability?"

Seeing this, Liu Guang snorted coldly: "Controlling the size of the flame is only the first-level ability. You divide the flame in front of you into three, in a ladder shape, and show it to us."

Lin Yuan had a bitter face, gritted his teeth, and urged his mental strength, the flame in front of him suddenly separated.

Manipulating the flames requires a lot of mental power, and the control of mental power is also a great test. After only a short time, he is already tired and sweating.

Under his control, the flames in front of him trembled, and it was about to succeed. With a sudden pop, the flame went out instantly.

"I"

Looking at the extinguishing flame in front of him, Lin Yuan wanted to cry without tears.

He concentrated on controlling the flame just now, and was unable to use his mental power to control the formation. After a little slack, the formation lost its control and immediately became invalid.

"You can't even do the most basic fire control, so come to test the pharmacist?"

Liu Guang snorted coldly.

On the surface, fire control tests the alchemist's ability to control fire, but the actual test is the meticulousness of the alchemist's mental power.

When a pharmacist refines the pill, he must not only control the formation, but also control the flame, but also the timing and amount of medicinal materials added, as well as the fusion of the elixir in the pill furnace.

This is a very complicated and cumbersome process. Lin Yuan has a very high ability to control his mental power. Lin Yuan can't even do the most basic fire control. Even if he can refine the pill, it is just opportunistic and cannot be regarded as a real man. Alchemist.

"You go down, the second round of assessment failed. Next, Sun Yuan!"

Lin Yuan's face was depressed, but he dared not say a word, just stepped aside, extremely depressed.

The questions given by Master Liu Guang are also too difficult. For general practitioners, it is enough to control the temperature and shape of the flame. To split the flame and form a ladder shape, this is simply an impossible task.

Sun Yuan was also very nervous when he came to the court.

Skilled in initiating the fire, demonstrated the ability to change the warmth and size of the flame, and then began to split the flame according to Liu Guang's previous instructions to Lin Yuan.

Sun Yuan's proficiency was obviously better than Lin Yuan's. The three flames were quickly separated, but when forming a shape, they couldn't complete it. Every three flames approached, they merged together.

Sun Yuan was sweating profusely, tried nearly ten times, and succeeded every time.

"Retreat, too."

Liu Guang's face was gloomy and ugly: "Next, Xu Jing, it's still the same as the request above, with three flames, a ladder-like shape!"

Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng looked at them, their mouths twitched.

Master Liu Guang's request is too difficult. If this continues, who can pass the assessment?

You must know that when they were admitted to the first-grade alchemist, they might not be able to do this.

If this continues, I am afraid that no one will pass this second round of assessment.
