Chapter 353 - Alchemist Test (1) (2/2)

Auron started to take a knife and cut the herbs one by one. He separated the part that was needed and the unnecessary part. There were more than 50 kinds of herbs that he needed to prepare, even though this potion was a lower level one.

Fortunately, since the herbs used was also a low grade one, there was no time limit on how long they prepared the ingredients. Some higher-grade herbs were kept inside a medicine box to prevent the herbs' medicinal effect leaked out. So, if an alchemist was using that kind of herbs, there was a time limit for them for the potions produced to be a good one.

Auron took his time carefully. He wanted to take his time calmly and used this chance to learn about the alchemy world.

Auron measures a part of the herbs using his hands. Then, slowly he would use his knife to cut down the unnecessary piece. After finishing preparing a herb, he would go to the next herb.

After everything being cut, some herbs needed to be crushed until it became soft. So, Auron took a grinder and crushed it until it became mush. Then, he moved to the next herb.

It took Auron for almost 1 hour to prepare the ingredients needed. It was considered a long time for an alchemist to use this much time to prepare these kinds of ingredients.

The examiner looked at Auron carefully. He didn't comment on anything and just took note of his paper. He looked at the time and shook his head.

The examiner felt that the time Auron used was too long. He minus some of Auron's score. Unfortunately, for Auron, his examiner this time was somewhat strict. He would not spare even to a beginner like Auron.

Although Auron's score was reduced. But, it would not affect his passed chance as long as he could produce the potions successfully.

For this alchemy's test, the score from this test would be used to determine how much initial alchemy points would be given to him.

Just like crafting points, this alchemy points would be used to buy the alchemy materials and some recipe in the alchemy hall.

And, Auron had already got a reduced point because of his long time preparing the ingredients. However, Auron would not know that until he received his score later.

After Auron finished grinding all of the herbs, he arranged the herbs around the alchemy pot that would be used for the second stage. Soon, he would go into the second stage of alchemy.
