Fourth-Level Alchemist

Lu Ping was too lazy to even look at the other options.

He also wanted to thank Little B for not insisting on "a mere Nascent Soul, fuck his mother."

He chose A.

[You chose A.]

You did nothing.

[You simply stand in the crowd, continuing to listen to Zhuang Feili speak.]

Seeing your calm expression, Zhuang Feili felt a sense of admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is quite composed."

[You said softly.]

"Being afraid is useless."

Zhuang Feili paused for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

["Too."]

The Flying Boat continued south.

[Three days later, your flying Flying Boat will arrive at the rendezvous point in the Qingyang Domain.]

[There are already more than a dozen giant Flying Boat parked there.]

[The Qingyang City alone has five giant Flying Boat.]

[Each ship carries one thousand people, totaling five thousand cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or above.]

[Azure Cloud Sect headquarters, a single Flying Boat, approximately one thousand people.]

[A total of 10,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators or above were conscripted from the entire Azure Yang Central Region, including its Border Region.]

[If two hundred Border Region Sect Master were thrown into a crowd of ten thousand, they wouldn't even make a splash.]

You finally understand this mobilization.

[The front lines need cannon fodder, but the rear needs stable accounts even more.]

[If chaos erupts in the Azure Dragon Domain, the Border Region Sect Master will be the most likely to rally support for their own survival.]

Taking you away will both fill the battlefield and reduce the difficulty of managing the rear.

[You sadly discover that even becoming cannon fodder has its own requirements.]

[On the seventeenth day, you arrived three hundred miles outside the Demon-Severing Cliff.]

[This is no longer a battlefield that a small sect in the Border Region can comprehend.]

A giant Warship lies suspended in the sky.

[On each Warship, Formation Flags were lowered.]

[Formation Flags stood rows and rows of Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

[The Azure Dragon Upper Domain, along with its nine subordinate Central Region, sent 100,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators to this battlefield.]

Nascent Soul Cultivators moved between the various levels of the Flying Boats.

Spirit Transformation cultivator sits atop the high platform.

[Higher still, dozens of Void Refining auras emanated from various high sects of the Azure Dragon Upper Domain, suppressing the entire battlefield so that no one dared to raise their head.]

The Demon-Suppressing Tower hangs Demon-Severing Cliff.

[The building has nine floors.]

[Each floor is adorned with copper bells.]

[As the wind blew, the ringing of the bell made one's Dantian ache.]

Everyone knows that the Demon-Suppressing Tower- Demon-Suppressing Tower's master, Song Fuan, sits on its highest floor.

[That Body Integration Realm expert only released a wisp of his aura, yet he was able to suppress an entire region.]

[On the other side, Pei Xuanlü, the war supervisor of the Supreme Unity Sect, stood on a blue cloud platform.]

[You had just disembarked from the Flying Boat when you saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator being dragged to the front of the formation.]

"Deserting in the face of battle."

[Beside the Supreme Unity Sect's war supervisor, a Nascent Soul law enforcement cultivator raised his hand.]

[The Foundation Establishment didn't even finish begging for mercy before his entire body turned into a bloody mist.]

[The blood mist fell into the Array Patterns.]

[The Array Patterns flashed faintly, then quickly returned to calm.]

The surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators all bowed their heads.

[Cultivators are consumables, and blood is also a material for Formation Technique.]

[Just like the Ascension Hall of the Greenwood Sect back then.]

[Options pop up.]

[A: Immediately demonstrate loyalty and volunteer to go to the front lines.]

[B: Obey orders and observe the battlefield rules first.]

[C: It is suggested that the supervising officer create a PowerPoint presentation outlining the execution procedures to enhance the organization's deterrent effect.]

Looking at A, Lu Ping thought that the system really wanted to leave work early.

Even Little A has been turned.

Voluntarily volunteering for the front lines? That's not loyalty, it's expedited cremation for yourself.

Lu Ping chose B.

[You chose B.]

[You've infiltrated the Border Region Sect Master's ranks.]

You lower your head and hold your breath.

[On the starting platform, a Nascent Soul Cultivator was flipping through the roster.]

He paused when he read about the Qingling Border Region.

"Greenwood Sect, Lu Ping."

[You step forward.]

[The Nascent Soul Cultivator scanned the Jade Slip.]

"Third-Grade Alchemist?"

Several Border Region Sect Master around them turned their heads simultaneously.

[Greenwood Sect?]

[Third-Grade Alchemist?]

[These two words together are even more distressing to the Border Region Sect Master than the Demon Race crossing the cliff.]

There are very few Level 3 Registered Engineers in the entire Border Region.

Zhuang Feili, the Sect Master the Blackwater Sect, almost crushed his waist token.

[The random passerby I'd been chatting with the whole way turned out to be Third-Grade Alchemist.]

What are your strengths?

[You speak calmly.]

"They can detoxify, refine poisons, and make healing pills."

The Nascent Soul Cultivator stopped moving.

He's seeing you again.

"Can you make poison?"

[You retrieve a copy of the Spirit-Chaos Lure.]

"A top-grade poison, Spirit-Chaos Lure."

[A moment of silence fell over the area around the starting platform.]

The Nascent Soul Deacon immediately dropped his disrespect.

[Top-grade poison.]

[This is something that allows Nascent Soul Cultivator to check the doors and windows three times before going to sleep.]

[Not far away, a Supreme Unity Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Taiyi Sect was mocking the Border Region cultivators for their meager appearance.]

Upon seeing the Jade Bottle that Spirit-Chaos Lure, his words caught in his throat.

His companion next to him took half a step back.

[The cultivators of Qingyang City have also noted your name.]

[And you didn't utter a single unnecessary word from beginning to end.]

[The Nascent Soul Cultivator altered the Jade Slip.]

"Lu Ping of the Greenwood Sect has been assigned to the Third Medicine Camp."

"Responsible for treating Pill Poison and demonic poison among the wounded on the rear lines, as well as refining Poison Pills."

"Also granted a wartime Fourth-Level Alchemist certification, with the same treatment as Level 4 alchemists within the Medicine Camp."

The Nascent Soul Cultivator placed the Jade Slip on the table.

["Lu Ping."]

"You must report to the Third Medicine Camp immediately."

"Once the rest of the people have been assigned, someone will take them away."

The gazes of the surrounding Border Region Sect Master towards you became even more complex.

[Like the year you first started working, when everyone else was still on construction sites doing mortar work, but someone was suddenly transferred to an office job—that silence.]

[A Nascent Soul Cultivator Foundation Establishment official quickly stepped out from behind the Nascent Soul cultivator.]

[He wore the token of the Third Medicine Camp at his waist, and his expression was far more arrogant than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.]

"Alchemist Lu, come with me."

You nodded and followed him away from the starting platform.

[Zhuang Feili stood in the crowd, his lips moved, but in the end he only bowed slightly to you.]

You returned the greeting.

[When we part ways again, perhaps we'll meet again on a wounded bed in the Medicine Camp, or perhaps amidst the blood- Array Patterns.]

The Third Medicine Camp was located three hundred li behind the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

[You follow a Foundation Establishment official through a fleet of Warships.]

[The closer you get to the Demon-Severing Cliff, the heavier the spiritual pressure becomes.]

[The Demon-Severing Cliff stands between heaven and earth, its walls densely covered with Array Patterns.]

[Those Array Patterns are not static.]

[They light up one layer after another, then sink down one layer after another.]

[With each rise and fall, the Demon Qi blowing in from the south was pushed back.]

This is not simply an insurmountable barrier.

[This is a massive array that spans the entire border of the great domain.]

[It severed the Myriad Demon Domain from the Azure Dragon Domain, while also leaving a pass for Human Race to enter and exit the Myriad Demon Domain.]

[The pass is controlled by the Demon-Suppressing Tower.]

The Demon-Suppressing Tower hangs in front of the formation's center.

[A nine-story building with copper bells hanging from it, its body dark blue-black, its base never touching the ground, and Array Patterns extending from its foundation down to the cliff.]

The Demon-Suppressing Tower itself is a magical treasure.

[Song Fuan, the master of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, is the owner of this magical treasure.]

[Options pop up.]

[A: Head immediately to the Third Medicine Camp to familiarize yourself with your duties and rules.]

[B: Approach the Demon-Suppressing Tower and shout, "The treasures of the world belong to the virtuous!"]

[C: Request the installation of an elevator in the Demon-Suppressing Tower to improve the efficiency of leaders going up and down the stairs.]
