Mortal Ascension Record

Chapter 1967 Alchemist's Certificate, Alliance Assessment

"Certificate? What certificate?"

This time, it was Qin Tian's turn to be confused.

Unexpectedly, the young man looked like he had heard a big joke, and almost did not hide his sarcasm:

"It's a joke. He doesn't even know the certificate of an alchemist, but he dares to call himself a fifth-grade alchemist. It's really ridiculous...!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian also realized that something was wrong.

After carefully recalling Zhao Wuji's memory, he finally found the answer.

It turned out that in the spirit world, the prosperity of alchemy was far beyond the lower world. As the holy land of alchemy, Yuding Mountain founded the Alchemist Alliance as the leader, and set up branches in various places, which were specially used to assess the grade of alchemists and issue exclusive alchemist certificates!

If an alchemist wants to pass the alliance assessment, he must refine pills of the corresponding grade. Otherwise, if he does not have the alliance certificate, he will not be recognized by the outside world at all.

For example, although this holy city has many preferential treatments for alchemists, it is still a state of recognizing orders but not people.

In addition, there are some famous alchemy masters who can ignore the authority of the Alchemist Alliance and are not bound by the alchemist certificate at all, but such great powers are too rare and can only be described as rare.

At least most ordinary alchemists are still constrained by the Alchemist Alliance. This alone is enough to establish the dominant position of Yuding Mountain. This is the terrible thing about the holy land of alchemy!

After figuring out the key, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At the same time, he also probed into the storage space with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, among Zhao Wuji's miscellaneous items, he found a red and simple token with five big characters written in ancient seal script on it. On the back, there is an alchemy tripod pattern engraved, which must be the exclusive logo of the Alchemist Alliance.

Because the material of the token itself is not rare, and the spiritual pressure it emits is also extremely weak, he didn't pay too much attention to it before, but he never thought that it would hide such a mystery!

Most importantly, after careful investigation, it was found that there were special restrictions engraved inside the token, and even the exclusive aura of the holder was sealed, which meant that any one of them was unique and there was no possibility of counterfeiting. Otherwise, given the relationship between the Holy City and the Alchemist Alliance, once it was found to be a fraud, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

Because of this, with Qin Tian's intelligence, he would naturally not take out Zhao Wuji's token to make up the number. If he really did such a stupid thing, I'm afraid the city guards would come to his door immediately!

Seeing Qin Tian fall into silence, the old man beside him finally lost his patience and stood up and said coldly:

"We are busy with official business. The rental hall is not a teahouse or a wine shop. This young friend should ask clearly before coming. Send him out!"

The young monk raised his hand and waved, almost without disguising his contempt:

"This Taoist friend, please come in!"

Seeing this situation, although Qin Tian was angry in his heart, he did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he bowed his hands and saluted:

"So that's how it is. I am ignorant. Goodbye for now...!"

After that, Qin Tian did not stay any longer and walked directly out the door. He soon disappeared in the crowd on the street. However, his back did not show any embarrassment, but looked extremely calm.

People who are familiar with him know that this matter is not over!

But the two deacons in the attic obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Until Qin Tian left, there was still a faint sound of sarcastic laughter.

"Alas! These days, there are more and more young people who are stupid. Anyone dares to come to the rental hall to hang out. They don't even take a piss and look in the mirror. Is this Juyuan Mountain something that ordinary people dare to dream of?"

"That's right. What kind of level is it to pretend to be a distinguished fifth-grade alchemist? It's really nonsense!"

"In my opinion, just report it to the City Lord's Mansion and put up a notice at the door in the future, saying that idle people are not allowed to enter, so as not to waste our precious time!"

................

On the other hand, after Qin Tian left the rental hall, he went straight to a place in the center of the outer city according to the map. It was obvious that he was going to go to the Alchemist Alliance to find out.

And by carefully studying Zhao Wuji's memory, he also had a more detailed understanding of the alliance's assessment rules.

First of all, the assessment content is actually very simple. You only need to refine any kind of corresponding grade of elixir within the specified time, and the success rate of the elixir reaches more than 10%, then you will pass the assessment. Afterwards, the alliance steward will immediately issue a token and register it uniformly.

Secondly, after getting the corresponding alchemist certificate, if the cultivator wants to continue to improve the grade, he needs to pass higher-level tests, and so on until the ninth level.

However, this level of alchemist almost only exists in legends.

According to ancient records, since the end of ancient times, there has been no ninth-level alchemist, and even the slightly inferior eighth-level alchemist is considered a rare existence. You can imagine how difficult it is.

For example, the so-called alchemy masters now, including the top alchemists in Yuding Mountain, are only at the eighth level.

In addition, the preferential treatment that alchemists can enjoy in the Holy City is far more than just renting caves.

For example, many caves on Juyuan Mountain, even if they are masters in the late stage of refining emptiness, are only qualified to rent, but not to purchase. Even if they have strong financial resources, it is in vain. Only when the alchemists reach a certain level can they purchase with certificates.

There are also many shops in the Holy City. As long as they are opened by the forces under Yuding Mountain, you can enjoy a 10% discount when shopping with the Alchemist Certificate, and there is no upper limit!

For example, the high entrance fee is completely waived for Alchemists, and ordinary cultivators have to queue to enter the city, but Alchemists can use special channels!

Or in the inner city area where high-end places are gathered, ordinary cultivators must pay sky-high tickets to enter, but Alchemists above the fifth level can enter and exit at will!

The most important thing is that even if a high-level Alchemist commits a crime in the city, the city guards responsible for maintaining order do not have the authority to capture him directly. There must be a special decree issued by the Alchemist Alliance, otherwise it will be difficult to escape the accountability of the top leaders afterwards!

This is also the protection of the Alchemist by Yuding Mountain!

In short, in this Burning Heaven Holy City, the Alchemist Certificate is a symbol of status, and the preferential treatment and privileges that can be enjoyed are countless. The respect of its status is by no means comparable to that of ordinary cultivators.

In this case, if you can get the Alchemist Certificate, the benefits are almost self-evident.

Besides, Yuding Mountain will probably use this item when recruiting alchemists in the future, so even if we put aside the cave rental, the Alchemist Alliance may have to go.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian's eyes brightened quietly.

After all, with the mysterious pendant in hand, he, Qin, can be afraid of anything, but he is least afraid of alchemy.

In his eyes, this so-called alchemist assessment is almost not difficult at all, it is even easier than practicing meditation!

.............

As he kept running all the way, Qin Tian soon arrived at the center of the outer city. After passing through a busy street, two parallel halls appeared in front of him.

One of them is naturally the teleportation hall. From the spatial fluctuations emanating from the interior and the monks queuing outside, you can see the clues. I didn't expect to come back here after a long journey. Qin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In addition, there is a hall that covers an extremely large area, with a different style, and is made of low-level fire jade spiritual materials. It looks rich and powerful at first glance. There are also people coming and going, and it is very lively. It is undoubtedly the rumored residence of the Alchemist Alliance.

However, this hall in the Holy City is the headquarters of the entire Alchemist Alliance. Its scale and level are the largest in the spiritual world, and it is directly managed by the top leaders of Yuding Mountain. Even the Lord of Fentian City has no right to interfere!

If you observe carefully, you can find that the cultivators entering and leaving the hall at this moment are almost all practicing fire-related exercises, and there is a strong fire-related aura all over their bodies. Obviously, they are all noble alchemists, and even their cultivation levels are different. They have both the Refining Void and the Transformation God, and the lowest is the Nascent Soul stage.

But no matter how powerful they are, they all have a posture of holding their heads high and their brows are even more proud. Even around the waists of these alchemists, there are all red tokens hanging, which are undoubtedly the credentials of the alchemists.

Looking around, the invisible superiority comes to the face.

It feels like they are deliberately showing off.

In fact, it was not the case. There was a mysterious transparent barrier at the entrance of the Alliance Headquarters. There was also a tall stone tablet next to it, with a few eye-catching characters written in simple and crude words, "Alchemy is a key place, no entry for outsiders"!

In addition, there were two incarnation monks in red robes sitting behind the desk in charge of checking and registering. The scene looked quite strict, and it was no wonder that ordinary monks did not dare to come forward casually.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian seemed fearless. He only tidied up his clothes a little, and then imitated the appearance of many alchemists, holding his head high and walking towards the hall with big strides, and his steps were also confident and calm.

However, as expected, just as he walked a short distance from the door, a demon was stopped, and a loud shout suddenly rang out:

"Wait a minute~! Didn't you see what the stone tablet said? No one is allowed to enter the important place of alchemy. Do you have a token?"

The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking old man in the middle stage of the spirit transformation, one of the two deacons behind the table.

And this movement instantly attracted the attention of the people around.

Many alchemists cast surprised eyes, with sarcasm, disdain, and contempt. Obviously, they all thought that some fool didn't know the rules and another farce was about to be staged.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian seemed quite calm. He immediately bowed and said politely:

"Thank you for your courtesy, brother. I am a newcomer and do not have the certificate of an alchemist. So I came here to take the test. I hope you can help me!"

After saying that, Qin Tian did not forget to take out two low-grade Yuanshi and put them directly on the table. After all, money can make the devil work, and this principle also applies to the world of cultivation.

Sure enough, seeing Qin Tian so tactful, the faces of the two deacons also eased, and then they put away the Yuanshi in tacit understanding.

However, after glimpsing Qin Tian's cultivation, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and the old man was even more surprised and said:

"Alchemist test? And seeing that your cultivation has reached the realm of transformation, but you do not have the certificate of an alchemist, could it be that you have just entered the alchemy path not long ago? This is really amazing perseverance!"

Said so, but the two of them clearly showed contempt in their eyes.

After all, there are usually only two reasons for this situation. Either they have just entered the alchemy path, or their talent is really poor, and they barely reach the level of a primary alchemist until the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

Needless to say, the latter, the talent is so poor that it can only be described as amazing, and it is a bit shocking to say it out loud!

Even if it is the first case, the situation is not much better.

After all, the various benefits of becoming an alchemist often attract a large number of cultivators who fantasize about rising to prominence from now on.

However, given the difficulty of the alchemy path, how can it be so easy to achieve something? In the end, most of them are in vain, and there are still many such examples!

And no matter which one it is, it is enough to make people despise it.

But Qin Tian seemed to be unable to hear the hidden meaning, and still politely replied:

"Hehe~! I am sorry to make you laugh, fellow Taoists. I have just entered the alchemy path not long ago, so I came here to try it out, which can be regarded as a wish. I just don’t know what the specific process of this assessment is. I hope fellow Taoists will not hesitate to teach me!"

Hearing this, the old man was disdainful in his heart, but due to the limitations of the alliance rules, he still said in a cold tone:

"Well~! Seeing that you are very determined to the Tao, we will show you a way! According to the rules of the alliance, Those who participate in the assessment need to bring their own spiritual materials and pay the fee of ten low-grade Yuanshi, but there are only three chances. If all fail, they cannot take the exam again within three years! "

"I don't know which grade you plan to take the assessment, so we can register it. Someone will be responsible for it later...!"

After listening to the introduction, Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, as if he was heartbroken about the Yuanshi, but finally said humbly and politely:

"I am not talented, I plan to take the fifth grade directly!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field fell into a dead silence!

The two deacons were all stunned, and couldn't help but exclaimed on the spot:

"What~? Take the fifth grade directly? Are you kidding me...?"

Even the alchemists passing by were startled and cast surprised eyes.

It's no wonder that everyone was so shocked. After all, a cultivator who has never received an alchemist certificate came up and wanted to take the fifth grade directly. It would be difficult for anyone to remain calm here. I'm afraid they would think that the other party was talking nonsense!

Because of this, both of them looked gloomy.

There were whispers around, and some even pointed and criticized, but most of them were sarcastic and mocking.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown, feeling a little impatient, but he couldn't get angry because he was in front of everyone.
