My game announcement panel is Tiandao?

Almond Hall.

The carriage was parked outside the gate.

Zhou Yu was just about to get into the car and head to the venue for the "Three Tests of the Alchemist".

Xiao Sun served him from the side.

At this time.

Having shed his official robes as a constable from the Six Doors and donned a white robe, Cheng Ye strode out.

"Master Zhou."

"Today I also wish to observe the alchemist's three examinations."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

After yesterday's exchange of unilateral actions.

Zhou Yu's opinion of Cheng Ye has changed somewhat.

After all, the fact that Cheng Ye was able to produce such a formula meant that he also had some good fortune.

That's understandable, given why Cheng Ye acted so "arrogant" before.

"If it can be corrected, that would be a good thing."

"But why did he exchange those pill formulas?"

Last night, Zhou Yu was too tired to think deeply.

now.

After a rest.

Zhou Yu finally had the leisure and energy to think about what happened yesterday.

"The value of that detoxification formula alone is enough for him to exchange for pills that allow him to cultivate to at least the sixth rank."

Why did Cheng only want to exchange the pill formula?

The horse-drawn carriage rumbled along, heading towards the center of Lingzhi County.

Cheng and Xiao Sun sat on either side of the carriage.

The latter frequently glanced at the former.

After changing into this white outfit, Xiao Sun felt a sense of relief.

"Officer Cheng."

"You look even more dignified in that official robe."

"but."

"You're not even as old as me, and you're much more handsome."

"In your daily life, you should just wear casual clothes."

Cheng shook his head slightly and smiled:

"Brother Sun, you flatter me."

Before Cheng could continue, Zhou Yu's mocking tone echoed from inside the carriage:

"Young Constable Cheng, don't end up like Old Man Chen and me, living a lonely life."

"You look much better than we did back then."

Cheng also gave up and waved his hands repeatedly.

Amidst this joyful atmosphere, the carriage arrived at its destination.

"Officer Cheng..."

Zhou Yu waved, preparing to have Cheng Ye follow him.

But Cheng shook his head and said:

"Master Zhou."

"I want to be down there and take a look."

After spending these days together, Zhou Yu knew that once Cheng Ye made a decision, he wouldn't change it.

Therefore.

He didn't insist.

After giving a few brief instructions, he let Cheng go.

As Xiao Sun followed Cheng Ye, he saw Cheng Ye walking towards a house not far away and immediately had a bad feeling.

"hiss!"

"Officer Cheng?"

He jogged forward, grabbed Cheng Ye's sleeve, his eyes wide with shock, and asked:

"you?!"

"Are you planning to register for the 'Three Examinations for Alchemists'?"

Cheng nodded and hummed in agreement.

Xiao Sun felt his mind go blank, and he couldn't form coherent sentences:

"No, that's not right."

"this."

"you!"

After Xiao Sun had calmed down a bit, Cheng Ye slowly said:

"Brother Sun."

"I'm just going to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sun felt a sense of absurdity.

According to Cheng Ye's own account.

He had only been involved in alchemy for three days.

Although Cheng Ye's performance was amazing, or even shocking.

Is it possible to participate in the three examinations for alchemists?

Is this logical?

"The three tests for alchemists are not that easy."

Xiao Sun wanted to persuade him further, but Cheng's mind was made up.

"Brother Sun."

"A preliminary test will be conducted before the official exam begins."

"If I can pass the preliminary test, it will prove that I am qualified."

"If it doesn't work out, I won't force you."

In Da Tang.

Anyone can participate in the three examinations for alchemists, which reflects the inclusiveness and openness of the alchemist community.

However, to avoid any disruptions, before entering the formal examination of the three tests for alchemists.

One hundred taels of silver are required as a deposit, which will be refunded only after passing the preliminary test.

Xiao Sun was speechless for a moment, watching Cheng Ye's figure disappear.

He stamped his foot in frustration and turned around to tell Zhou Yu what had happened.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Sun suddenly stopped.

"or?"

"Wait a little longer?"

"If Constable Cheng doesn't pass the preliminary test, just pretend nothing happened."

What if it passes?

According to the rules, passing the preliminary test qualifies one to participate in the three tests for alchemists.

Neither I nor Master Zhou have the right to stop Cheng Ye!

In an instant.

Xiao Sun was in a state of utter confusion.

This year's third examination for alchemists has attracted a lot of attention because of Li Ruyi.

If another prodigy emerges, the entire Nanming Prefecture, and even Huazhou, will likely be in an uproar!

I don't know why.

After thinking about this...

In Xiao Sun's heart, there was actually a hint of anticipation?

Enter the house.

Behind the long table, a middle-aged man was engrossed in reading a book.

Hearing footsteps, he said without looking up:

"Here to register?"

"One hundred taels deposit."

"Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, divide the medicinal herbs, light the fire in the stove, and keep the flames bubbling like fish eyes."

Not far from the house.

Various medicinal herbs were mixed together on the table, and a medicine stove was placed next to it.

He left behind a hundred taels of silver.

Cheng also arrived at the pile of medicinal herbs.

Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, ginseng, Plantago asiatica...

Cheng Ye was quick, putting the corresponding medicinal herbs back into the medicine cabinet.

Approximately one hundred breaths.

Hundreds of medicinal herbs mixed together were all neatly arranged.

Followed by.

Cheng quickly lit the fire, and the water gradually began to boil.

This is the first attempt.

The first part tests the most basic skills;

Next, we need to look at the temperature control methods.

at this time.

The middle-aged man who had been reading a book had come up behind Cheng Ye.

As he watched the boiling water in the medicine furnace, and fish-eye bubbles steadily rose to the surface, his eyes gradually widened!

"Who exactly are you?"

Cheng also wrote down his name and received the waist tag to participate in the three tests of the alchemist.

When I came out of the house.

Sun, who had been craning his neck and looking eagerly, walked over impatiently, his gaze sweeping over Cheng Ye.

soon.

Then I noticed the sign on his waist!

"Passed?! You passed the preliminary test?!"

Although Xiao Sun had already prepared himself for this possibility.

Cheng also said that he has a photographic memory.

With such talent, the first hurdle of the preliminary test couldn't stop him.

but.

The second challenge, controlling the temperature of the medicine furnace, is the most difficult and truly tests one's skills.

The apprentices have been following their masters for so many years, and most of the time they have been learning this.

How long has Cheng Ye been involved in alchemy?

"So that means?"

"Has Constable Cheng already surpassed me on the path of alchemy?"

Thinking about this made Xiao Sun feel dizzy.

"Should I... should I tell Master Zhou now?"

……

Under the sunshade.

The alchemy masters, who were serving as examiners, were chatting and laughing.

Today is the last day of the three examinations for alchemists.

The performance of the group of candidates just now was quite good.

It swept away the previous slump.

"I almost thought that all the good fortune this year had been concentrated on Miss Li."

In alchemy, luck sometimes plays a crucial role.

"really."

Fortunately, the others also performed well.

"Shouldn't the next batch of candidates be going up on stage soon?"

talking.

Their eyes were fixed on the stage.

suddenly!

Zhou Yu was so startled that he suddenly stood up, drawing the attention of the person beside him.

"Master Zhou?"

"What's wrong?"
