"Someone! Ask an alchemist to come over!"
Leo was also happy to see the appearance of rare treasures, and sent people to find the alchemist.
"Elder Leo, I'm an alchemist, can you let me have a try?"
Someone in the crowd volunteered, straightened his back and revealed the second-grade alchemist badge hanging on his chest. The middle-aged man strode up to Leo and was very pleased with the envious looks from others.
"Why would you, an alchemist, choose to be an assessment deacon? I remember there was an assessment specifically for recruiting alchemists!"
Facing this young middle-aged man, Leo narrowed his eyes.
"Report to Elder Leo, I want to improve so much! Although the alchemist is paid well, I still have to obey the orders of the deacon. I want to serve you at the knee of Lord Leo!"
Pills are precious materials, and every faction holds alchemists in high esteem, but only those with strength. In the Miter Auction House, if a fourth-grade alchemist is on par with some elders, he is only a second-grade alchemist and is subject to the control of some deacons.
Wu Guo didn't want to be controlled by others, he wanted to gain enough status, so he chose the deacon assessment.
"Huh? You're not bad. What's your name?"
Leo snorted in pleasure, no matter whether these people were sincere or not, at least they did a good job on the surface. They had been fighting for power within Mittel these days, and he had long been fed up with the cold eyes of Mittel1 Fujiyama's old party towards him.
Looking up, he had to endure the wrath of those two masters, and there were other elders around who didn't like him. Looking down, he finally saw a smiling face that was capable of dealing with things.
"Reporting to Elder Leo, my name is Wu Guo, and I am a second-grade alchemist!"
Wu Guo excitedly lowered his body to report to Leo, and even tugged at the badge on his chest.
"Wu Guo, alchemist, not bad, not bad. Then you can do it!"
Leo smiled happily. Wu Guo left a deep impression on him. He waved his hand and the servants brought out the table that assisted the alchemist in making pills. With this table, the flame would be more condensed.
"Okay, just wait until the formula for the elixir on your jade slip is analyzed, and I will personally appraise its value for you!"
Leo waved his hand and asked Wu Guo to burn the jade slip. The yellow fighting spirit flame burned fiercely under the blessing of the medicine refining table. The broken jade slip fluttered in the flame and attracted everyone's attention.
Even the mercenary with his head wrapped in bandages was watching intently. After all, people loved to see something happen to the treasure, and even if he didn't believe it, he was determined to see the result.
Ye Yu watched calmly. After all, he had used his soul to read some basic information and was sure that it was a pill recipe. However, the method of refining it still needed to be revealed by Wu Guo in front of everyone.
The flame burned, and as time passed, more than ten minutes passed, and the jade slip remained intact. Some people in the crowd became dissatisfied, thinking that Ye Yu was just trying to attract attention.
"Lord Leo, the time that has passed speaks volumes. This man is just trying to attract attention. He is teasing you, Elder Leo!" Seeing his chance, the mercenary ran up to Leo with his big face in his hands, wanting to add insult to injury.
Little did he know that Leo was somewhat dissatisfied with the disappointment of thinking he had found a treasure but ended up with nothing. He was even more upset when he suddenly saw a man with a head swollen like a pig, wrapped in bandages and drooling, approaching him.
After waving his hand to drive away the pig-head, oh no, mercenary, Leo turned around and was about to eliminate Ye Yu, but he heard a doubtful voice coming from the crowd.
"That's not right. This must be the flame of a second-grade alchemist. How can an ordinary jade slip be so resistant to burning?"
It was not known whether Elder Su muttered intentionally or unintentionally, but his voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.
The broken jade slip seemed to have heard his words. As soon as he finished speaking, the jade slip trembled, and a beam of light shot out from the jade slip and penetrated into Wu Guo's forehead. Then the jade slip turned into powder and dissipated in the flames.
Everyone was in an uproar and surrounded Wu Guo. They then looked at Leo who had a happy expression on his face, and finally at Ye Yu who was calm beside them.
"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. This is indeed a treasure. The discovery of a treasure at this time doesn't it mean that this day is also celebrating you!"
After Wu Guo closed his eyes and absorbed the information conveyed by the jade slip, he slid in front of Leo and boasted loudly, his excitement evident on his face.
Others could only sigh that this person had given up even the most basic dignity for the sake of status, but in fact Wu Guo's excitement was not fake at all.
"Tell me clearly, what is in this?"
"My lord, there is a pill recipe in here! A fifth-level pill recipe! Although the jade slip is incomplete, it has little impact on the pill recipe and we can completely deduce the recipe!" Wu Guo danced with excitement.
He could see the jade formula turn into powder and disappear clearly, which meant that he was the only one who possessed the formula. His status would rise all at once. Moreover, the formula also contained some experience and notes on refining medicine. As long as he digested it, he would become a third-grade alchemist within a year! Even if he could not become a deacon on this trip, he would have made a lot of money.
"Okay, very good! I declare now that you don't have to take part in the next assessment!" Leo waved his hand, almost frightening Wu Guo half to death, but the next sentence brought him back to heaven: "I will make an exception and promote you to deacon, and you will work in the Holy City of Gama!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Wu Guo kneeling on the ground with envy, but then they realized that all this was because of a young man.
"A fifth-level pill recipe! I declare that this item is worth one hundred and forty-nine points. I deducted one point from you simply because the recipe has a flaw." Leo laughed, and everyone present could see his satisfaction.
"Then this gentleman's score is one hundred plus one hundred and forty-nine plus...a portion of this stone, for a total of two hundred and fifty points. Sir, can you explain the origin of this stone? Otherwise, you will be tied for first place with another gentleman..." The staff was very dedicated and calculated the score immediately.
Everyone looked at the black stone eagerly. A broken jade slip contained a fifth-level pill recipe. No matter if this kid was lucky or really had the ability, it showed to a certain extent that this person did have good vision.
"Boy, if you have another treasure, this elder can make an exception and promote you to deacon." Leo was very satisfied.
"I chose this stone purely based on my intuition. I don't know what it is."
Ye Yu shook his head and did not express his true thoughts. Anyway, the points had already reached the requirement, so there was no need to continue to stand out.
"I have an idea! How about letting me test this stone?"
A young man suddenly appeared, and everyone was surprised to see that the arrogant Leo bowed and nodded before this man.
Everyone was guessing the identity of this young man, but only Ye Yu roughly guessed his origin. The person who was chasing him was Qing Yu!
