Chapitre 49: Going to the Guild
"That's impossible!" Corei shouted angrily, staring in disbelief at the flame in Xiao Yu's hand, trying to convince himself it was a trick.
Xiao Yu respd:"Indeed, it's impossible. I'm actually not a fourth-tier pharmacist."
Corei laughed loudly, "I knew it! It's just a trick to deceive me. Do you think you can fool me? You're still too inexperienced!"
The soldiers around were uncertain. Aside from the flame, there was no other proof of Xiao Yu's pharmacist status, and they were puzzled if such flames were unique to pharmacists or could be used by other professions. Their confusion was palpable.
"However, I truly don't care about second-tier pharmacists!" Xiao Yu said with a smile, changing the subject.
"You're talking nonsense! If you don't respect second-tier pharmacists, then show us your skills! The Pharmacist Guild isn't something to be bullied!" Corei sneered.
Xiao Yu understood that Corei was trying to provoke him into insulting the Pharmacist Guild, but he refused to play along. "I respect other second-tier pharmacists, but those like you who lack integrity, I indeed look down upon. By the way, I was planning to take the second-tier pharmacist exam soon. If you don't believe me, why not join me?"
Corei, upon hearing this, mocked, "Fine! If you're going to take the second-tier pharmacist exam, go ahead. I want to see if you're truly as skilled as you claim to be. Let's see if you can surpass a second-tier pharmacist!"
Xiao Yu responded with a shrug, "Is that so? Then let's wait and see!"
Without further discussion, they headed towards the Pharmacist Guild in Mo City.
Meanwhile, at the Mo City Pharmacist Guild, three guests arrived. An elderly man accompanied by two young women stood at the guild's entrance. The elderly man wore a badge with an ancient alchemy cauldron and four silver waves, indicating his status as a prestigious fourth-tier pharmacist.
"Master, why did Master Blin call you here?" asked one of the young women.
The elderly man shook his head slightly, "I don't know. This old fellow was quite secretive. If it weren't for Frank needing to handle some matters in the capital, he would have wanted us to come together."
The elderly man was Master Otto from the Black Rock City Pharmacist Guild. The Frank he mentioned was the president of the Black Rock City Pharmacist Guild, while Blin was the president of the Mo City Pharmacist Guild. Both were fourth-tier pharmacists and close friends.
As they spoke, an elderly, laughing voice came from the gate, "Old Otto, long time no see! I'm glad you finally made it!" It was Master Blin.
Otto responded gruffly, "I just want to know why you called me here so urgently."
Blin's face showed a hint of a smile, "Naturally, I need your help. What else would it be?" He glanced at the two young women beside Otto and said, "These must be your apprentices. Let me guess, Lin Fei?"
The girl smiled and replied, "Yes, Grandpa Blin!"
Blin then looked at the other young woman dressed in silver, with a hint of curiosity, "And this is?"
Otto introduced her, "This is Frank's disciple, Snow Charm."
Blin's eyes brightened, "Ah, it's you. Frank often speaks of you!"
Snow Charm smiled faintly and greeted, "Master Blin."
"Excellent, welcome! Come inside!" Blin invited them in.
They proceeded to the second floor of the guild to a guest room. Once everyone was seated, Blin's expression grew serious. He looked at Otto and said, "The reason I asked you here is because there have been disturbances in the Tagore Desert recently."
Otto furrowed his brow, "Disturbances in the desert? Could it be...?"
Blin nodded gravely, "Exactly. It's the Serpentmen tribe causing the unrest!"
Blin continued, "The news from the Serpentmen tribe indicates that their queen's inheritance has encountered issues. We don't have the full details yet, but the frequency of Serpentmen activities has increased. There's even been news of the Green Lotus Earthfire, which has attracted many people's attention!"
Otto was shocked, "Green Lotus Earthfire? It seems that Frank's capital is also concerned about this. Alchemist King Gu He also wants to find a rare flame!"
Blin's face brightened, "Really? That's great news. I've heard that people from the Yun Empire are also trying to seize the Green Lotus Earthfire and have brought many powerful figures to aid them. With Alchemist King Gu He coming, the reinforcements he's bringing will surely outmatch them!"
Otto nodded, "Indeed. Besides Gu He, the Yun Lan Sect will likely help as well. It's said that Yun Yun, the sect leader, has a close relationship with Gu He. She will probably come too."
Blin agreed, "With Yun Yun, a Dou Huang level expert, assisting, I'm reassured. Even if we don't obtain the Green Lotus Earthfire, the Yun Empire certainly won't get it!"
"However, the Serpentmen tribe is a problem. Their queen is also a Dou Huang expert, so even with Gu He and others coming, a fierce battle is inevitable!" Otto said, his expression serious.
Blin shook his head and didn't respond, and the room fell silent.
At that moment, a knock sounded at the door. A servant entered and informed Blin, "President, a young man has come to take the second-tier pharmacist exam. Mr. Corei is also here and requests to see the president."
Blin's eyebrows arched slightly, "A witness? Interesting!"
Master Otto chuckled, "Why don't we go down and have a look?"
"Just what I was thinking!" Blin responded with a smile.
The group got up and headed downstairs.
