Chapter 51 Alchemist Guild
"Hehe. Brother can even refine the third-grade recovery pill now. There will be no problem." Hearing that Xiao Se was going to take the alchemist exam, Long Kui's beautiful eyes immediately revealed admiration.
This was his elder brother, a genius who was less than thirteen years old, had already reached the level of a fighting master, and was able to refine third-grade elixirs.
Hearing Long Kui's praise, Xiao Se smiled and said nothing.
The reason why he was able to make rapid progress in alchemy without any guidance was entirely due to the memory of a sixth-grade alchemist. Later, he obtained the soul cultivation method "Guiyuan Soul Art". If he could not refine a third-grade pill after breaking through to the level of a fighting master, he might as well die.
Walking on the street, he asked along the way about the location of the Alchemist Guild. When the other parties learned that Xiao Se was going to the Alchemist Guild, they all showed looks of astonishment and envy, which made Xiao Se feel very funny.
After turning a few streets, Xiao Se stopped in front of a building shaped like a medicine cauldron.
"Alchemist Guild." His eyes shifted slightly, slowly landing on the golden plaque above the gate, and he murmured, then walked inside.
As he approached the door, Xiao Se was stopped by two fully armed guards as expected. "Young man, this is the Alchemist Guild. Do you have a letter of introduction to the instructor?"
Xiao Se shook his head and suddenly stretched out his right hand. A ball of purple-blue flame rose from his hand. He said calmly, "I don't have a letter of introduction, but I have this."
"Condensing real fire, a fourth-grade alchemist, oh my god!" The two guards opened their mouths wide, rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and their eyes became dull in an instant.
"I'm not a fourth-grade alchemist. I'm just here to take the alchemist assessment. Can I go in now?" He flicked his right hand lightly, taking the beast's fire into his body, and said lightly.
"Yes, of course, sir, please...please." Hearing this, the two guards woke up from their astonishment and looked at Xiao Se again, with a hint of awe and flattery in their eyes, and said hurriedly.
Regardless of whether the young man in front of them is a fourth-grade alchemist, his ability to condense real fire alone is not something that ordinary alchemists can do, and they can't help but be in awe.
Xiao Se nodded slowly and walked towards the door. As soon as he walked through the door, a clear and pleasant female voice sounded behind him, and the voice came from far away, "Teacher, hurry up, you said you would take me to visit the Alchemist Guild assessment today."
"Hey, girl, why are you so anxious? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?" An old voice, with a hint of helplessness, came from behind.
Xiao Se turned his head and saw a fat old man and a pretty girl slowly walking towards him.
The old man walked at a lazy pace, perhaps because he was too fat, he had to take a deep breath every few steps. But no one around him dared to laugh at him. The reason was that on his chest, there was an alchemist badge engraved with four silver lines.
"A fourth-grade alchemist, a fat old man, could it be the Otto in the original novel?"
He was slightly surprised and turned his eyes to the purple-clothed girl who kept urging the old man. The girl looked about 17 or 18 years old, with a fair and tender face that was quite beautiful. Although her figure was petite, it was convex and concave. In terms of figure and appearance, she might not be as good as Long Kui, but she was also a rare beauty. Especially her round and perky buttocks, which always attracted the hearts of the men around her.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Xiao Se had no intention of greeting the other party and walked towards the gate.
The girl naturally noticed Xiao Se's gaze, but when she saw Xiao Se withdraw his gaze without any reluctance, her beautiful eyes suddenly became angry.
Her beauty, which she was so proud of, was ignored at this moment. She quickly walked to the front door and shouted to the two guards, "Hey, who was that boy who just came in? He saw my teacher coming over, but he didn't even say hello."
"Um, Miss Lin Fei, the gentleman just now went in to take the assessment for alchemists. We just saw him condense real fire." Although the girl's voice was impolite, the two guards did not dare to get angry. The reason was that the girl was Lin Fei, the new disciple of Otto, the fourth-grade alchemist and vice-president of Black Rock City.
"Real fire? You're just kidding. That can only be done when you reach my teacher's level. I think you've probably been fooled by that kid." Lin Fei sneered at the two guards who said Xiao Se could condense real fire. Xiao Se looked a few years younger than her. Let alone condensing real fire, even becoming a first-class alchemist was almost impossible.
"Girl, you are bullying others again!" At this time, the fat old man finally rushed over.
"Master Otto." Seeing the old man, the two guards quickly bowed.
"How could that be possible? These two guys just said that the kid who went in front could condense real fire. That guy looks like he's only fifteen or sixteen years old at most. How is that possible?" Lin Fei shrugged disdainfully.
Otto smiled and nodded at the two guards, then said to Lin Fei earnestly, "Don't judge a person by his appearance. If he can condense real fire, then even if he is not a fourth-grade alchemist, he will have no problem passing the alchemist assessment."
"Oh." Lin Fei responded perfunctorily, obviously not taking Otto's words to heart.
Otto didn't care. Facts speak louder than words. If the young man was really capable, Lin Fei would put away her contempt without him saying anything. He then touched Lin Fei's head lovingly and walked into the guild.
On the other side, Xiao Se had already walked into the guild and, under the guidance of a woman in blue, came to the registration counter.
Taking out a yellowed parchment from the counter, the woman in green held the pen elegantly, looked up at Xiao Se, and said with a smile: "Sir, please tell me your name, age, and teacher's name. Bodo will register you."
"Xiao Se, sixteen years old, my teacher is Mr. Luo." Xiao Se hesitated for a moment, but still lied about his age.
"Sixteen years old." The woman in green was stunned, amazed at Xiao Se's age, but she did not doubt it. Although Xiao Se was over 1.7 meters tall, his face was still childish. Let alone sixteen, she would believe it even if he was fifteen or fourteen.
After thinking for a moment, just when she was about to write, she found that there was no alchemist named Luo Lao in the Jiama Empire. She said awkwardly: "Sir, there is currently no alchemist named Luo Lao recorded in the Jiama Empire."
(PS: Podocarpus has been dead for at least a hundred years, and no one would specifically check the old archives)
"It's normal that you don't know that he is indifferent to fame and fortune. Why? Can't you get the alchemist badge as long as you pass the assessment?" Xiao Se frowned and said, pretending to be angry.
"Of course, of course." Seeing Xiao Se angry, Bo Duo panicked and said hastily, "It's okay if you don't have the teacher's name, as long as you pass the assessment."
Hearing this, Xiao Se's brows relaxed, he smiled and nodded, waiting quietly.
Soon, Boduo filled out the registration form, put away the things on the table with ease, then respectfully led Xiao Se to the door of the examination site, received the examination number, and entered the examination room.
Have some idea about the story? Comment it and let me know.
Chapter 52 Damn it, he's pretending again
When Xiao Se entered the examination site, there were already many people gathered in the hall, talking and chatting in an endless stream.
At the top of the hall, two old men were sitting upright, both wearing fourth-grade alchemist badges on their chests. One of them was Otto whom Xiao Se had seen before, and the other was an old man with a thinner stature. Listening to their conversation, Xiao Se finally remembered the identity of this extra alchemist, the president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild, Falkland.
Next to Vice President Otto, Lin Fei pointed at Xiao Se from time to time, and then Otto gave Xiao Se an apologetic smile, which made Xiao Se speechless.
In the center of the hall, there were more than ten stone platforms separated from each other, and on the stone platforms were placed various medicinal materials and medicine refining equipment. At this moment, five young men were standing on the stone platforms impatiently.
"Falkland, I heard that you also accepted a disciple recently?" Otto gave Xiao Se a kind look, turned his head, and smiled at Foklan beside him.
"Haha, you old guy have accepted Lin Fei as your disciple, so why can't I accept another disciple? Let me tell you, Xue Mei is very talented. Sooner or later, she will surpass us two old guys." Falkland stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Surpassing is the best. Right now the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild is in a period of transition, and it's just relying on the two of us old guys to hold it together. I'm worried that if this continues, the resources sent down from the headquarters will become less and less." Hearing this, Otto sighed lightly, and his eyes swept over the five people on the stone platform with a feeling of being disappointed in their talents. When he glanced at Xiao Se, his expression eased a little, and he thought to himself, I hope this little guy can bring me a surprise.
Noticing Otto's gaze, Xiao Se nodded slightly and smiled back at him.
Lin Fei, who was standing behind Otto, naturally saw Xiao Se and her teacher make eye contact, and she was furious. She pointed at Xiao Se and said to Otto, "Teacher, this kid pretended to be a fourth-grade alchemist and deceived the guild guards. Why are you still smiling at him?"
Falkland, who was standing by, heard someone pretending to be a fourth-grade alchemist. He put down the cup he had just picked up and frowned. The Alchemist Guild had zero tolerance for anyone pretending to be an alchemist. He then said in a cold voice, "How could such a thing happen?"
Seeing his old friend getting angry, Otto hurriedly stopped him and said, "Falkland, don't listen to what this little girl says. That guy just condensed the real fire, and he didn't say he was a fourth-grade alchemist."
After hearing what Otto said, Lin Fei realized that she had said the wrong thing. Because of a small awkwardness, she almost caused big trouble for others. She immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking.
"Real fire?" Upon hearing this, Falkland's eyebrows relaxed immediately, and his eyes lit up. He searched the table and finally found Xiao Se's information. He smiled and said, "Xiao Se, sixteen years old. He is so young. If he can condense real fire, even if he fails the assessment today, our Black Rock City Guild will have to try to win him over."
"Of course." Otto touched his round beer belly and smiled.
Soon, the test time arrived.
Otto glanced at the leaking hourglass on the table and said solemnly to Falkland beside him: "President, the time is up."
Falkland nodded slightly, stood up at the same time as Otto, and said loudly: "Now, I declare that the first-grade alchemist assessment officially begins."
"Ding" Otto struck the gong beside him, then changed the position of the hourglass and turned it around.
Hearing the start of the test, Xiao Se shrugged casually, walked slowly to his stone platform according to his test number, picked up the parchment on the stone platform, and took a look. This was a prescription called the Power Storage Pill, which was used to increase a person's strength to a certain extent. Among the first-grade pills, it was not too difficult to refine. However, for a newcomer who was taking the alchemist test for the first time, it was extremely difficult.
"Should I show off?" Glancing at the three pieces of medicinal herbs on the stone platform, Xiao Se raised his lips slightly and murmured in a low voice. But soon, he threw the idea away. He still needed to keep a low profile and not be arrogant just because he had some strength.
Immediately, he placed his right palm on one of the fire holes in the medicine cauldron and injected his fighting spirit into it. His soul perception then invaded into it. With a bang, the cauldron ignited a deep yellow flame. Then he put one of the three medicinal materials into the cauldron one by one according to an orderly manner. After a while, the medicinal materials in the cauldron were roasted into liquid medicine.
On the main seat at the top of the hall, Otto and Falkland stared intently at the newcomers taking the assessment on the stone platform. To be more precise, they were looking at Xiao Se. His skillful fire control skills and the smooth throwing of medicinal materials made him look like a master alchemist who had been honing his skills in medicine for decades.
"Wow, if this guy is not being mysterious, then we in Black Rock City have found a treasure." Falkland pinched his beard, revealing a look of enjoyment. For an alchemist, it can be said that there is nothing more enjoyable than to see a master alchemist making pills with his own eyes.
"That's true, but don't forget that the little guy hasn't used real fire yet." Otto stroked his round belly and continued with a smile.
"Do you mean that Xiao Se hid his strength?" Foklan asked in surprise.
"It's possible. You'll know if you keep watching. If he can really condense real fire, he will take part in the second-grade alchemist assessment." Otto replied with a smile.
"A second-grade alchemist. I'll have to wait and see." Falkland smiled, said no more, and continued to watch Xiao Se making medicine.
Lin Fei, who was standing aside, listened to the conversation between the two fourth-grade alchemists with a complicated expression, and murmured in her heart: "Is he that powerful?"
Soon, the assessment time ended.
As usual, the two guild presidents, Foklan and Otto, stood up and checked the pills made by the examiners. The result was just as they had expected, the first five people all failed to make pills.
When it was the sixth person's turn, Xiao Se, the two of them, with trepidation, picked up the jade bottle on the stone platform, checked the elixir that Xiao Se had refined, uncorked the bottle, tilted the bottle mouth, and rolled it into their palms. Otto and Falkland's pupils suddenly shrank, and they trembled and said, "Xiao Se, the power-accumulating elixir, flawless."
Hearing the sound, the hall fell silent instantly and fell into a dead silence. All eyes turned to Xiao Se as if looking at a monster. Even Lin Fei and those newcomers who failed the assessment were the same.
As we all know, in addition to the classification of elixirs from grade one to grade nine, each grade of elixir also has subtle quality differences.
Being able to refine high-quality pills is a very important existence in this alchemist level, and flawless means perfect and the quality has reached perfection.
It is not difficult to make a power-accumulating pill. Anyone who has obtained the alchemist badge can make it easily. However, it is difficult to make the quality flawless. Even some third-grade alchemists dare not say that they can refine a flawless power-accumulating pill. This requires not only talent and strength but also time. Otherwise, even with the guidance of a famous teacher, it is not something that ordinary people can easily achieve.
