There was no other way, so he could only raise his sword again and strike with all his might.This time, he unleashed all his cultivation. The sharp sword radiance was about ten zhang long and slashed...Seeing the fifth lamp light up, everyone was stunned. They all knew what it meant.

It took him less than half an hour to pass the five-stage assessment, a feat unprecedented in the history of the Alchemist's Guild.

Mark's eyes were filled with despair. He slumped to the ground with a thud, unable to believe he had lost so quickly and so completely.

Inside the Testing Hall, Ye Bufan passed five levels of the assessment in one breath. Looking back, he seemed to have some understanding of how the Alchemist's Guild divided its ranks.

The requirements for the first level assessment were very low at the beginning, and the materials provided for refining were also very easy to refine and purify. As long as one had some basic understanding of refining, they could pass.

As levels increase, the difficulty also rises, and the materials required become increasingly higher grade. Refining and purifying these materials for ordinary individuals now demands a significantly greater effort, placing a heavy strain on both physical strength and True Essence.

And for the refining of artifacts, the requirements also became increasingly high, until the final top-grade artifacts.

But no matter what, the first five levels of assessment are all about refining magic weapons, and haven't reached the level of spirit artifacts yet.

This should also be why the testing hall only tests up to the fifth rank, I imagine the sixth rank is already the refinement of spirit artifacts.

But no matter what, this low-level assessment was nothing to him. Since he's finished, just go out.

Push open the last door and you arrive directly outside the main hall.

After he came out, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect so many people to have gathered at the door, and each one stood there with a vacant expression as if they had been struck by a spell.

Wen Ding and Zhao Chengqi looked at the young man before them. Just as the staff had said before, he was around twenty years old.

"You...you...did you really pass the fifth-order assessment"

Even now, Wen Ding is still somewhat incredulous. This is simply too unbelievable.

Of course it's true!

Ye Bufan nodded, although he didn't know who the old man was, he also knew that his status was extraordinary.

"Incredible, simply incredible, no, this old man must go in and have a look."

Although Wen Ding had previously denied Ma Kai's proposal, believing the Testing Hall could not possibly have problems.

It's been less than two hours since he completed the five checkpoints, besides a problem with the Hall of Trials, there's no other explanation. This has also planted a seed of doubt in his heart.

Thinking about this, he ran directly into the entrance to see how the other party had passed the test and what kind of artifacts they had forged.

Zhao Chengqi also followed behind, but the others did not have the qualification to enter and could only wait quietly outside.

Wen Ding ran to the first room. On the testing platform, there lay a sword made of iron quietly.

He reached up and grabbed it, examining it carefully. Finally, his hands began to tremble.

"Top-grade magical artifact, this is a top-grade magical artifact!"

Zhao Chengqi stood beside him, also watching in shock.

To refine top-grade artifacts with their skill level wouldn't be too difficult, but it would be impossible to complete within such a short timeframe.

After the shock, the two ran toward the second room again. The scene was exactly the same, and another top-grade magic weapon was placed in the testing area.

"To forge two top-grade magic weapons in such a short period, wouldn't his true essence be consumed"

The two were shocked again and then ran to the next room.

The third, fourth, and fifth, when they stepped out of the last door, each held five top-grade magical iron swords in their hands.

At this moment, both old men were so shocked that they couldn't speak. If you took out a magic iron sword separately, it wouldn't be anything special.

To be able to forge five swords of such high quality in such a short time, and have each one be identical, indistinguishable even... that is terrifying.

Once they came out and saw Ye Bufan, they immediately acted like wolves that had been starving for ten days seeing meat, rushing over excitedly.

Zhao Chengqi said: "Young man, are you interested in joining my Alchemist's Guild!"

Wen Ding was even more excitedly grabbed his arm: “Little guy, would you like to be my disciple As long as you say the word, this old man will agree immediately.”

The onlookers beside them were filled with envy. These two were big figures in the Alchemist Guild, and they both spoke up to recruit one person at the same time. This had never happened before.

Especially Elder Wen Ding, who had always refused to take on disciples in the past, today made an exception.

Once you join the Alchemist Guild and become a top disciple of the Grand Elder, your future is limitless.

Zhao Kangnian looked at everything before him, his heart feeling extremely complicated.

He originally thought this young man was arrogant and overconfident, but he didn't expect that the young man actually had the ability. He possessed an extremely terrifying talent in the art of refining weapons.

Mark had given up all hope, the two elders' performance powerfully demonstrating their accomplishments.

This time, you lost, and lost completely.

Thinking of the previous bet, he hurriedly hid behind Zhao Kangnian, hoping that Jiang Fangzhou would forget about him in the chaos.

Ye Bufan simply ignored what the others were thinking. He was amused and exasperated by the two old men, "I'm sorry, I don't want to join the Alchemist Guild or become an apprentice."

Wen Ding had no intention of letting go at all: “Young man, think about it carefully. I, an old man, have never taken on a disciple. If you agree right now, you'll be my founding disciple.”

Yè Búfán declined several times in a row, but this old man was persistent and finally forced him to have no choice.

"Are you sure you want to take me as your apprentice"

Wen Ding nodded repeatedly: "In my whole life, I have never taken an apprentice, just because I haven't met a disciple with the right qualifications. Your talent is enough to be my apprentice."

"I am worthy to be your disciple, but do you have the capability to be my master"

Ye Bufan said, "I ask you to be my teacher, what can you teach me Can I pass the five trials within two quarters of an hour"

"Are you faster at refining, or do you produce higher quality refinements than me"

"I..."

Wen Ding's face instantly flushed red, like a pig liver. He had been so eager to recruit talent that he had completely forgotten this.

While the person is indeed a genius in crafting artifacts, does one have the qualifications to be their teacher

Although he was the Grand Elder of the Alchemist Guild, he knew in his heart that he wouldn't be able to pass the five-stage assessment within an hour, let alone two quarters of an hour.

Seeing that the old man was no longer speaking, Ye Bufan finally let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to linger here any longer. He looked at the young man beside him and said, "Can you give me my badge now"

"Yes...yes..."

As a junior staff member of the Alchemist's Guild, the two elders before him were like gods in his eyes.

Every year, countless people want to join the Alchemist Guild and become disciples of Wen Ding, but they can't even get a chance.

Such a good opportunity that was delivered right to his doorstep was actually rejected by this young man. Such a huge shock left him momentarily stunned and unable to recover.

After finishing his words, he looked at Zhao Chengqi, who nodded in agreement.

The young man then took out five insignia, ranging from a first-rank to a fifth-rank Artificer, and handed them over all at once.

Ye Bufan didn't care about these things at all. What he wanted was to sign up for the Alchemy Competition, so he casually put them into his storage ring.

Then Nalan Yugang waved his hand at the others, "Let's go!"

"Hold on a minute, Brother Ye. Let me collect a small debt first!"a sigh of relief, just about to call the two women away, when Yuhuafei shouted in dissatisfaction."Brother-in-law, you can't be cowardly! Why be afraid of this old geezer!"And that little bastard, he'...
