Going to the Alchemy Department
"Elder Xu, you were in seclusion at the time and may not have known, but after Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu entered the Inner Academy, they clashed with the Inner Academy Inner Academy's Alchemy Department Alchemy Department. As everyone knows, their method of resolving the conflict was to compete in alchemy. However, I heard that Xiao Yan Xiao Yu Xiao Yan Xiao Yu went directly to their door, and it was from that time that their alchemy skills were revealed."
The elder glanced at the crowd and continued, "At that time, their strength had already reached the fifth and sixth rank!"
The elder in the yellow robe asked with some doubt, "Which of them is Sixth Grade Alchemist?"
"Xiao Yu!" the elder slowly uttered a name.
Elder Huo sighed with a mixture of relief and satisfaction, "When I first met these two brothers, Xiao Yu 'Xiao Yu alchemy skills were definitely superior. And it seems they still hold true now. These two brothers are both incredibly talented!"
After a pause, Elder Huo said, "Since Xiao Yu is Sixth Grade Alchemist, perhaps we can ask him to come and help us guide those arrogant but ignorant brats in the Alchemy Department, so they can learn what it means to be outmatched and have someone more capable!"
The elders exchanged glances and then said, "That's fine, but it seems that Xiao Yu has now become an elder of the Inner Academy and should not be Inner Academy now. Xiao Yan also seems to have disappeared!"
Elder Huo nodded slightly and said, "It's alright. Have someone keep an eye on them in the Inner Academy. As soon as either of them shows up, bring them here immediately!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Yu, who had just returned to the Inner Academy with Zi Yan, was unaware that he had been targeted by the Alchemy Department. Upon returning to the Inner Academy, he went straight to where Great Elder Su Qian was.
Su Qian looked at Xiao Yu and Zi Yan standing in front of him and chuckled, "Why do you two suddenly want to go back to the Inner Academy?"
Xiao Yu looked at Su Qian and chuckled, "Great Elder, we are elders of the Inner Academy after all, it's only right that we come back to visit from time to time!"
"That's right, old man, aren't you going to welcome us?" Zi Yan chimed in from the side.
Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Su Qian glared at her and said, "You have the nerve to say that? Ever since you became an elder of the Inner Academy, you've never actually stayed Inner Academy. And whenever Inner Academy, it's always because you've caused trouble and run away. Elder Hao has already come to me about this several times!"
Zi Yan rolled her eyes and snorted, "That Old Man Hao, really, he's always tattling behind people's backs. I'm an elder of the Inner Academy, what's wrong with taking a few medicinal herbs?"
Of course, in front of Su Qian, Zi Yan only dared to whisper a few words behind Xiao Yu's back, but Xiao Yu heard them clearly. He turned around and looked at Zi Yan helplessly, saying, "You lied to me again, saying that you found those medicinal herbs yourself from the back mountain?"
"Uh, these are just details, don't worry about them. Besides, I took all these herbs, and they ended up in your pocket anyway. I took the blame for you, so why are you still so concerned?" Zi Yan said nonchalantly.
"Hmm, that makes some sense!" Xiao Yu nodded slightly.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu realized what he meant and laughed, "You're talking nonsense! How can that be the same? I helped you refine all the medicinal herbs into pills, and in the end, I think I gave them all to you. You're making it sound like I took advantage of you!"
"Alright, alright, you two stop pretending here. Tell me, what's it about this time?" Su Qian seemed to have gotten used to Xiao Yu and Zi Yan coming over every now and then, and each time they had something to say!
After Zi Yan an awkward glance, Xiao Yu Xiao Yu, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to borrow some people from the academy!"
Su Qian frowned slightly and asked, "Borrow someone? Borrow what kind of person?"
Xiao Yu explained the current predicament the Underworld was facing to Su Qian Su Qian, who then realized what was going on and said, "So you've come to the Alchemy Department to ask for someone back. Coincidentally, Elder Huo also came here these past two days to ask where you are and when you can return to the academy. It seems he has something to discuss. Although the Alchemy Department is one of the factions of the Jia Nan Academy, it is not under the academy's jurisdiction. They are independent. Many alchemists are the students from the Inner Academy who go there after graduation. You can go and ask them yourself!"
Xiao Yu hadn't expected Elder Huo to seek him out, so he asked, "What does Elder Huo want with me?"
Su Qian shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that, but since you're back, why don't you go to the Alchemy Department?"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go now!"
"Go ahead, go ahead. Oh, by the way, Zi Yan, don't go to the Medicine Stockpile anymore. The academy's Medicine Stockpile doesn't have the spiritual herbs you need anymore, understand?" Su Qian mentioned this before leaving.
Zi Yan pouted and said, "I know!"
The two left immediately. Su Qian watched their departing figures, a relieved smile appearing on his lips. Even though they caused him a lot of headaches, it didn't change the fact that they were the most outstanding academy in his heart. The academy had never had one like them before, and perhaps it would never appear again!
On the way to the Alchemy Department, Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "What do you think Old Man Huo wants with you? I've met that Old Man Huo once, tsk tsk tsk, the old man is no good at alchemy and has a bad temper!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "You didn't actually fight Elder Huo, did you?"
"No, Old Man Huo is alright at making medicine, but when it comes to fighting, he's just an old man with nothing to lose. Let's not let them bully an old man!" Zi Yan seemed to look down on Elder Huo's strength.
Although Elder Huo was Fifth-grade Alchemist and not very strong, he was still a genuine Six-Star Dou Wang. In Zi Yan's words, he seemed to have become an old man who couldn't even kill a chicken!
Soon, the two arrived at the academy's Alchemy Department. Looking at the spacious and luxurious building in front of them, Xiao Yu led Zi Yan inside.
As soon as you enter the hall, you can smell a faint medicinal fragrance. If you smell it carefully, it has a refreshing feeling. The hall is divided into six cubicles, which seem to be prepared for people from the Alchemy Department to refine pills. The medicinal fragrance that Xiao Yu smelled was coming from one of the cubicles.
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the first cubicle on the left. Outside that cubicle stood two academy students from the Alchemy Department, dressed in light blue alchemist robes. Three silver ripples could be clearly seen flashing on their Alchemist Badge on their chests, indicating that their alchemist level was third grade!
When Xiao Yu Xiao Yu and Zi Yan Zi Yan walked in, the two noticed them, but the pair didn't attract their attention at all, assuming they were there to buy pills from the Alchemy Department!
One of the students, without turning his head, said, "Those who want to buy pills can go to the sales area in the square. They sell pills for the Alchemy Department there. They don't have any here. You'd better leave now!"
"Hmm?" Zi Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Did these two guys think they were there to buy pills?
Xiao Yu didn't seem to mind and chuckled, "I'm not here to buy pills, I just want to meet Elder Huo from the Alchemy Department!"
"See Elder Huo?" One of the students turned around and sneered at Xiao Yu Xiao Yu upon hearing his words, "You? See Elder Huo? I suggest you go back to where you came from. Elder Huo isn't here!"
