Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 41: Become a disciple of Fa Ma (Please read and vote for me)
A month later.

Gu Yi once again came to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild in the capital of Jiama and entered the hall through a passage.

Today, the Alchemist Guild is recruiting three alchemist apprentices, and this is also an opportunity for Gu Yi to become a disciple.

At this time, there were many people waiting here with a faint medicinal fragrance on their bodies, including some in their thirties or forties.

They all wanted to be apprentices to become alchemists.

It’s just that they don’t have a good talent for alchemy. After working hard for most of their lives, they are still at the level of alchemist apprentices and have not been promoted to first-class alchemists.

Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the Alchemist Guild headquarters, get instruction from real alchemists, and obtain more favorable medicinal materials from the guild to practice with, to see if they could have a glimmer of hope of becoming first-class alchemists.

When Gu Yi came to the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although Gu Yi was very tall, looking at his childish face, they could tell that Gu Yi was no more than twelve years old.

"This kid shouldn't even be a fighter, so why is he here to take the assessment for an alchemist apprentice?"

Being a fighter is another requirement to become an alchemist.

If you are not a fighter, you cannot practice fire-attributed techniques. The fighting spirit in your body is too thin to form a fighting spirit flame, and naturally you cannot make pills.

"Is this child already a fighter?"

"I heard that in Wutan City in the eastern province of the empire, an eleven-year-old genius fighter appeared. Could this boy be that genius?"

Some people showed surprise and doubt on their faces, not sure whether Gu Yi was a real genius or just came to watch the fun.

Their confusion did not last long, as the guild's assessment for recruiting apprentices began.

Gu Yi came to the staff and handed him the registration form.

"Eleven years old? Three-star fighter!" The staff looked at the information on the registration form and couldn't believe their eyes.

Gu Yi nodded, and immediately circulated the energy in his body, releasing the aura of a three-star fighter level.

——During this month, Gu Yi absorbed the remaining energy in the Purple Cloud Wings, combined with the results of his own one month of practice.

His soul power level broke through to level 25, and his physical fitness and strength also improved a bit, reaching the peak of the fourth level of Qiwu Realm.

Feeling that real breath, everyone around was extremely shocked.

An eleven-year-old three-star fighter...

When they were at this age, their cultivation was only at the fourth or fifth stage of Dou Qi. In comparison, the gap in talent between them was as huge as heaven and earth.

What a genius! There have been only a few of them in the Gama Empire over the past thousand years.

If nothing unexpected happens, this child's lowest achievement will be a Dou Huang, or even a Dou Zong.

Gu Yi smiled slightly. The age on the registration form was naturally forged. Otherwise, if his real age was eight, it would have caused a bigger sensation.

"Can I take the assessment for the alchemist apprentice now?"

"Of course, please!" The staff quickly made way.

Watching Gu Yi's figure disappear around the corner, the staff member's expression brightened, and he hurriedly notified the guild president and vice presidents as quickly as possible.

As for Gu Yi, he had already started the assessment of the alchemist apprentice in the small room.

The assessment required Gu Yi to use flames to refine the five low-level medicinal herbs on the table in front of him into medicinal liquid.

Gu Yi's face was calm, as he had already anticipated this assessment requirement.

A month ago, when he was proving his talent in alchemy to Mr. Bei, he was also refining the medicinal liquid.

Because whether in the Jiuxiao Continent or the Douqi Continent, refining medicinal liquid is the first step in alchemy, which has trapped countless apprentices who want to become alchemists.

This step involves many factors. It tests the alchemist's understanding of the structure and medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, the strength of the alchemist's soul perception, and his ability to finely control flames, etc.

Alchemy is a delicate job.

In the process of extracting the liquid medicine, if one does not have a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials, the soul perception cannot detect the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials that change at any time due to factors such as temperature, and the flame cannot be controlled well, resulting in a high temperature. This will cause errors in the extraction process and cause the medicinal materials to be burned to ashes.

This is also the reason why the success rate of alchemists is low and a large amount of medicinal materials will be wasted.

That day, Gu Yi refined nine kinds of medicinal herbs in succession in front of Old Bei. Only the last two failed because he did not have enough energy in his body and could not perfectly control the temperature of the flame in the furnace.

The success rate is as high as 70%! Moreover, there are very few impurities in the liquid medicine, so it can be used to refine pills.

Gu Yi was a complete beginner in alchemy, but he was able to extract 70% high-quality medicinal liquid.

It can be seen that Gu Yi has a profound understanding of the medicinal properties, and his soul perception and control abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people.

This shows how talented he is in the art of alchemy!

At that time, Mr. Bei was speechless for a long time. He could only sigh that the world of geniuses was not something that ordinary people could understand.

It turns out that Gu Yi possesses extraordinary talents in both martial arts and alchemy.

After this incident, Old Bei agreed to Gu Yi's request to pursue alchemy, and said that the Yunhai Sect would fully support him and would be responsible for providing him with the recipes and medicinal materials needed for alchemy.

Gu Yi can also go to the alchemists of Yunhai Sect to consult and ask questions at any time.

However, Old Bei also has a request, which is that Gu Yi must not neglect his martial arts practice, and his main task every day should still be practice.

After all, this world respects martial arts, and alchemy is just a means to assist martial artists in their practice.

As the hope for the rise of the Yunhai Sect, Gu Yi cannot afford to neglect his martial arts training.

……

Therefore, the assessment of the alchemist apprentice is not difficult at all for Gu Yi.

Gu Yi briefly checked the five medicinal herbs and determined whether their medicinal properties were yin and cold, yang, or had other medicinal properties.

Gu Yi decisively picked up the alchemy furnace in the room, injected the energy in his body into the furnace, ignited the flame of the furnace, and controlled it at a suitable temperature.

He grabbed a herb with his right hand and threw it into the alchemy furnace.

The blazing flames swept over, but did not burn the herbs to ashes. Instead, under Gu Yi's precise control, they slowly burned the herbs, melting them into drops of slightly turbid liquid.

Gu Yi did not collect the liquid medicine immediately, but continued to roast it repeatedly with flames, carefully controlling the temperature to burn away the impurities in the liquid medicine.

This went on for a quarter of an hour, and the medicine became crystal clear, like jade. Gu Yi then took out the jade bottle beside the stone table and put it in.

Then Gu Yi continued to refine the remaining four medicinal herbs without stopping.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed and Gu Yi successfully refined all four medicinal materials.

Gu Yi slowly exhaled a breath, picked up the four jade bottles and walked out of the examination room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw several figures in alchemist robes. They looked like they had been waiting for a while.

Leading the group was an old man wearing a purple alchemist robe. The medicine cauldron embroidered on his robe had five elixir patterns on it, indicating his noble status as a fifth-grade alchemist.

The old man came to Gu Yi, picked up the jade bottle and sniffed it, and was surprised to find that the quality of the medicine was excellent.

"At such a young age, you have already been able to refine the medicine to this level. You are a good candidate for medicine refining."

He showed a peaceful smile on his face: "My name is Fa Ma, and I am the president of the Alchemist Guild."

"Child, are you willing to take me as your master?"

Gu Yi's heart moved, and information about him quickly emerged in his mind.

Fa Ma, the president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild, is also a fifth-rank alchemist at the top level. His alchemy skills are second only to the Alchemy King 'Gu He' in the Gama Empire.

He was one of the choices that Gu Yi made to become his disciple.
