Just after scanning the words on the stone carvings, Xu Yi's good impression of a certain elder was wiped out in his heart, but he felt a surge of disgust. He thought hard, "Old boy, in the end, I was fooled."

It turns out that the rules recorded on the stone carvings are that in addition to the Alchemy Hall internal Menial Worker, external Menial Worker must pay for the smelted metal raw materials on a daily basis. The raw materials are counted at sunset every day. Those who do not meet the standard will be eliminated, and the three with the lowest number will also be eliminated.

If the eliminated ones want to re-enter Guili Room, in addition to still having to be recommended by a level 2 or above alchemist, they will also need to pay a fine of 1,000 gold.

According to such rules, a certain elder did not allow him to come back tomorrow, but directly asked him to report for duty, which cost him half a day. This was not an obvious trick.

Xu Yi carried the three entry-level weapon refining manuals he had just received. Before he could even open them and take a look, his eyes almost went dark. It was already difficult for him to compete with the Menial Workers here.

The old man also wiped out half a day. Now if he enters this Guili Room again, isn't he looking for death?

Moreover, if this competition failed, it would only cost a small amount of money. The key point was that he would never be embarrassed to ask a certain elder again.

Even if we ask for help, how can a certain elder not make excuses and extort money?

After all the calculations, I was still led into the trap by the old boy.

There were a lot of resentments in my heart, but I finally stepped through the door and refused to take a chance. I retreated like this and let the old boy know that he would have to laugh his head off.

At the moment, Xu Yi didn't waste any time, and went into the abandoned soldier warehouse in the east. Regardless of the situation, he picked up a bunch of residual soldiers and armor, and hurried towards Number Ninety-Seven's room.

On the way, I met two Brocade-robed young master, walking slowly towards the abandoned soldiers warehouse.

The two Brocade-robed young master were startled when they saw Xu Yi, and they both clasped their fists and shouted.

One asked Xu Yi Gao's name and where his fairyland was, and the other asked Xu Yi how many kilograms of raw materials were forged today.

Xu Yi was also worried that he didn't know anyone. When he saw the two asking each other, he made up a name and said he was just here.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the two Brocade-robed young master seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. They laughed so much that they trembled and fell down. They even shouted Brother Zhou and Brother Li at each other, saying that God was blessing and sent a stupid person to take the bottom.

It turned out that just now, the two of them saw Xu Yi hugging a bunch of people, and they thought that Xu Yi was very capable of forging weapons, and they were confident that they could finish training so many waste soldiers in one afternoon, and they were shocked in their hearts.

When they heard that Xu Yi had just come here, the two of them realized that Xu Yi was a newcomer that Si Liu didn't understand, so they laughed out loud.

"Fuck, I must have violated Tai Sui today, and I will meet a villain."

Xu Yi muttered and walked away, feeling a certain elder's villain in his heart. Suddenly he thought of the iron spirit that had grown in size in his arms, and overturned the conclusion that today's luck was bad. He didn't care about the two people behind him. The guy who had been thrown far away was scolded, and quickly ran to the door of Number Ninety-Seven, took Crystal Token and leaned it against the disc in front of the door, and Stone Gate opened.

The refining room he was assigned was, as he thought, very simple, with rough stones making up the entire space. In the center of the house was a wide-mouth furnace connected to a ground fire, and a giant Forging Hammer stood beside the furnace.

After looking at the stone carvings on the wall, Xu Yi knew that this furnace and hammer was the main tool on his path to becoming an alchemist.

Apart from the stove, the only furnishing in the room is a scale-like device in the northwest corner. Xu Yi knows that it is a device for testing metal impurities and separating the weight of raw metal materials.

Xu Yi glanced at the "scale" and then focused on the stove.

The stove is half a person tall and is completely black. It is unknown what kind of material it is made of.

There is an underground fire under the wide-mouthed furnace, and this underground fire is different from the one in the Guangwu Pavilion. It is processed into two fires, "Gathering" and "Li", by a special secret method. The gathering fire refines weapons, and the Li fire forges the remains.

The reason for this setting is to consider the actual use of Guili Room Menial Worker.

Just like Elder Song, Guili Room and Menial Worker, it looks like hard labor, but in fact it is a job, especially for newcomers who are determined to achieve success in alchemy.

Guili Room Menial Worker has only one job, which is to forge the remaining soldiers in the abandoned soldier warehouse with Lihuo, remove the debris, and collect the raw metal materials.

And this process of removing impurities is itself the best basic practice for learning alchemy.

After the foundation is laid, the speed of separating the remaining soldiers is increased, and when the daily quota is reached, the separated metal raw materials can be used to test the soldiers and armors themselves. In this way, a lot of money will be saved.

Because of this convenience, the Alchemy Hall Guili Room Menial Worker position has always been extremely popular.

Not only Alchemy Hall internal staff are trying their best to fight for it, but Guang'an City's major Aristocratic Clan disciples are also flocking to it. Even if they have to pay a high entrance fee and endure extremely strict elimination rules.

He said, after taking a glance at the furnishings in the room, Xu Yi took action.

He had limited time and could not delay. At that moment, he removed all the debris from his clothes, including three newly acquired weapon refining manuals, a jade box containing Qiu Wa, and a waist bag that contained Sonic Flying Daggers, snake rings, wings, and several Precious Medicine plants.

Only the newly blessed iron essence was hidden in the flesh and did not dare to be removed.

Just because the iron essence is so precious, Elder Song and Grand Artificer who saw so many treasures were shaken out of their minds. Even though this place is a secret room, there is no guarantee that there will be no peeping holes.

What's more, Patrol Division has just had a major case of theft of the Iron Spirit. If the news of his possession of the Iron Spirit comes out, he may not be able to escape Guang'an City even with his three heads and six arms.

Therefore, Xu Yi neither dares nor is willing to take risks!

According to the method recorded on the stone carvings, Xu Yi adjusted the control valve of the furnace to the off-fire position. In an instant, a gray flame drilled out of the dark furnace and covered the entire furnace mouth.

Xu Yi picked up a golden Great Guan Dao, placed it across the mouth of the furnace, held Forging Hammer tightly with the other hand, and struck at the fracture of Great Guan Dao.

This is a method commonly used by entry-level apprentices to train remnant soldiers. Xu Yi heard a few words from Elder Song.

As Elder Song said, there is no big trick to alchemy, it is simply a skill where practice makes perfect.

The remaining soldiers were tempered by the fire and struck with heavy hammers, aiming to accumulate impurities in the remaining soldiers and restore them to pure metal raw materials.

The so-called residual soldiers are often broken, and the balance of the five elements when they were formed has been broken.

The purpose of training the remaining soldiers is to burn and refine the four impurities in the five elements, namely wood, water, fire and earth, with fire, leaving only the raw metal.

The reason is very simple. In the so-called armor, metal raw materials are the main materials and the most precious. The other four elemental materials are mostly auxiliary materials, which cannot be called precious and are mostly refined by Lihuo.

Of course, it is not that there are no magic weapons whose auxiliary materials exceed the main materials, but such magic weapons, even if they are broken, are extremely valuable, and they are managed by Grand Artificer, so they have no chance to enter the waste weapon warehouse.

In a nutshell, the main task of Guili Room is to train discarded soldiers and separate raw metal materials, and Lihuo's design will only retain the raw metal materials, and the rest will be directly refined.
