"Once?!!!" Chemir had a wonderful expression after hearing this.
Ordinary First-Rank Alchemist can be refined once, and second-grade products can be refined at least two or three times. What do you mean by once??? Otto came to the side, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and comforted, "Don't worry, little brother, there is still time. This time the assessment is to refine Black Iron Spirit Leaf. It does not ask you to refine it just once, but to improve the purity through repeated refining."
After hearing this, Chemir suddenly realized that it turned out that what he had just said was not clear enough, causing ambiguity. He quickly explained, "Because Black Iron Spirit Leaf is special, the difficulty of each refinement will be several times that of the previous one. Even with my strength, Fourth Grade, I can only refine it ten times. If it is any more, it will be useless."
Refining medicinal materials is nothing more than decomposing them by burning them with flames, followed by sublimation, crystallization, filtration, extraction, liquid separation, distillation, dialysis and other methods to obtain high-purity medicinal materials.
But no matter what, it is impossible to obtain 100% medicinal substances through refining, just like the highest purity of gold is 98K, which is infinitely close to 100.
It is true that the more times it is refined, the higher the purity.
Xiao Yan tilted his head, confused, and walked into the small dark room with the wooden box. Looking at the pure white powder in the wooden box, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Can this be refined again? Will it be destroyed if it is refined further?"
"Could it be that Alchemist Association of the Jia Ma Empire has a special method to teach Black Iron Spirit Leaf that can make the purity of Black Iron Spirit Leaf truly one hundred percent?!!"
With his eyes focused, Xiao Yan felt competitive in his heart, and he immediately took out the Alchemy furnace and began to study it.
Soon, time passed minute by minute. Thirty minutes later, Liu Ling was the first person to come out without any suspense. He looked around first, then looked at the small dark room where Xiao Yan was. Liu Ling showed a sneer when he found that no one came out.
Not long after Liu Ling came out, a light and beautiful figure quickly jumped out from the black curtain. When she looked at Liu Ling who was standing in the hall that morning, a touch of disappointment suddenly appeared on her delicate and pretty face.
He slowly came to the center of the hall and muttered, "Brother Liu. I didn't expect you to be so fast."
"Haha, Little Princess is not slow either." Liu Han said with a smile.
"Hmph. Although you were earlier than me, the medicinal materials you extracted may not be as pure as mine!" Little Princess raised his snow-white jade fist at Liu Ling and hummed.
Soon, more and more alchemists came out one after another.
As the black curtain continues to move, the sand in the hourglass is about to be completely poured out. However, Otto and Chemir frowned tightly because Xiao Yan hadn't come out yet.
"He's the only one left."
"Why does it take so long?" Chemir also looked puzzled. This must have been too long.
Just when Chemir announced that the time was up, Xiao Yan hadn't come out yet! Chemir sighed, walked to the small room where Xiao Yan was and said softly, "Little brother, the time is up, no matter what, you come out first."
As soon as the voice finished, the black curtain was opened. Xiao Yan shook his head and walked inside with a dejected look. As soon as he came out, Xiao Yan asked very curiously, "Do you Alchemist Association have any special techniques? No matter how you look at it, Black Iron Spirit Leaf can only refine it once."
Xiao Yan's voice was not too quiet, and other alchemists also heard it.
"Once?"
"Hahahaha, I thought he just didn't wear Alchemist Robe, but it turns out he didn't."
"I can refine it once when I was still an apprentice. Don't go too far by using the back door."
At this time, many alchemists standing nearby burst into laughter when they heard that Xiao Yan was acting like a country bumpkin.
Chemir shook his head, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, you are still young, you will still have a chance in the future."
Only Liu Ling, who hated Xiao Yan the most in the audience, frowned, because he knew that even if Xiao Yan was weaker than him, it would be impossible for him to refine it just once.
Moreover, Liu Ling heard Nalan Yanran say that Xiao Yan had refining a third-grade elixir for Mr. Nalan Jie. In other words, Xiao Yan was at least a third-grade alchemist, so how could he only refine it once.
"Brother Liu Ling, why are you paying so much attention to that person?" Little Princess Yue Er discovered that Liu Ling had paid attention to Xiao Yan several times, curious question.
"He is at least a Tier 3 Alchemist." Liu Ling said.
Yue Er was also surprised when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Yan with wide eyes. Tier 3 Alchemist Refined once? How is this possible? Did he lie on purpose?
Chemir said nothing more and walked to the center and said, "This is Purity Measuring Instrument that we, Alchemist Association, invited some famous casters to build. It can accurately test the purity of the materials you refine."
Chemir stroked the dark machine, pointed to a groove and said, "Here is the place where the test materials are put. It is based on ten points. Ten points are the highest, one point is the lowest, and four points are passing. Please tell me how many times you refined it."
"Liu Ling, you start first."
Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Ling calmly came to the testing machine, then took out a Jade Bottle from Storage Ring, poured some off-white powder into the groove, and smiled at Chemir, "This junior has limited strength and can only refine it six times."
As soon as Liu Ling said these words, everyone in the hall took a breath of air-conditioning, and immediately there was an uproar. Not only the people below, but also Chemir and Otto looked at each other in surprise.
To be able to refine Black Iron Spirit Leaf five times, it requires at least the peak strength of Tier 3 Alchemist. Six times?!!! This Flame Control is incredible.
In other words, Flame Control of Liu Ling is already equivalent to Fourth Grade.
After the light on the screen flickered for a while, a huge seven characters slowly appeared.
"Seven points, congratulations on passing the test." Chemir smiled.
Liu Ling smiled, then stood aside. He glanced at Xiao Yan standing at the back with a vague gaze. He didn't care why Xiao Yan lied, but the result would prove that he was the strongest!
At this time, Xiao Yan frowned and his expression was extremely strange, as if he saw something he couldn't understand.
Then I went to Little Princess Yue Er. Unfortunately, although Little Princess was also refined six times, its purity was a little lower than Liu Ling.
Seeing more and more people coming forward to check the purity, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. I finally understood where the problem was.
Until the end, after everyone had finished testing, Chemir looked at Xiao Yan and said softly, "Brother Xiao Yan, come up and take a test too."
Xiao Yan nodded lightly and walked slowly to the testing table with the small wooden box.
Otto asked, "Did you only refine it once?"
Xiao Yan nodded and said calmly, "Yes, only once."
Just as everyone below was snickering, Chemir and Otto saw the moment Xiao Yan opened the wooden box and exclaimed, "Pure white?!!!"
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the screen, and a huge cross on the screen was like a big mouth, smacking the faces of everyone who was laughing.
Xiao Yan looked at Vice President Chemir with a strange expression and asked, "Vice President, why do you have to refine the medicinal materials ten times when the medicinal properties can be extracted in one go?"
