Third-Grade Alchemist

Inside the hall, everyone was eagerly anticipating the quiet room where the Third-Grade alchemist assessment would be held.

A ten-year-old alchemist is already an unprecedented genius in the Yao Realm of the Jia Ma Empire, not to mention that the boy actually dared to directly take the Third-Grade alchemist exam!

It's important to know that even Pill King Gu He, the current number one Yao Realm in the Jia Ma Empire, only became a First-Rank Alchemist at the age of nineteen!

If Xiao Yan truly passes the Third-Grade alchemist assessment today, wouldn't that mean that by the time he's as old as Gu He, he might have already surpassed Gu He in alchemy skills?

Of course, no one present dared to utter a sarcastic remark.

You must know that Xiao Yan just demonstrated his Dou Master level strength. Putting aside his Alchemy, this black-clad youth is also a super genius with terrifying talent. Perhaps the Jia Ma Empire will leap to become the most powerful empire in the Northwest Continent because of him!

After all, an eleven-year-old Dou Master is unprecedented in the Jia Ma Empire, and it's unlikely that anyone will ever be one again.

Moreover, judging from the confidence on the young man's face and his calm demeanor, coupled with his ability to obtain such a powerful and secretive artificial flame, it is highly unlikely that the Jia Ma Empire possesses such strength. In other words, perhaps the person who taught him Alchemy came from outside the empire!

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as he has indeed passed the test at the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild, the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild will ultimately benefit!

Most of them were alchemists from the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild. If the guild prospered, they would naturally prosper too!

Therefore, they still had some expectations for Xiao Yan's assessment results.

Squeak!

Although everyone waited and felt that time was passing very slowly, almost like an eternity, the assessment actually ended after only two and a half hours.

The door to the quiet room was slowly pushed open, and Frank stepped out first, shaking his head repeatedly.

Seeing Frank's appearance, everyone felt a little uneasy. Could it be that he had failed the test?

Looking up, Frank explained with a wry smile:

"This little guy's Yao Tian is truly terrifying. He's not even eleven years old, yet he can already refine Third-Grade pill with Pill Pattern. Sigh... Compared to him, I feel like I've wasted most of my life!"

It seems our Black Rock City Alchemist Guild will produce its youngest Third-Grade Alchemist since its founding!

Looking at Frank's ashamed expression, everyone in the hall involuntarily swallowed. The implication was clear: he had truly passed the test!

"What a terrifying guy..."

The group exchanged glances, each letting out a silent sigh.

A ten-year-old Third-Grade alchemist!

This will likely require a complete overhaul of the historical records of the entire Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire, won't it?

Looking at the shocked faces of the crowd in the hall, Frank couldn't help but recall Xiao Yan's alchemy process just now.

It was precisely because he had closely observed Xiao Yan refining a pill that he held Xiao Yan in such high regard.

Although Xiao Yan used the prescription from his first alchemy assessment, his exceptional control over the heat was by no means inferior to that of any true Third-Grade alchemist.

Moreover, when refining medicine, he was extremely precise in extracting the essence of various medicinal herbs. If a Third-Grade alchemist with rich experience in refining medicine could perform like this, Frank would not be too surprised. However, the little guy in front of him was not even eleven years old yet!

Back when he was that age, he was still stuck at the fifth level of Dou Qi!

"What a discouraging little fellow... Now I'm getting more and more curious, just which master could have taught such an outstanding student as you?"

Frank couldn't help but ask.

"The teacher never mentioned his identity, and as his disciple, it's not appropriate for me to ask."

Xiao Yan naturally couldn't reveal Old Yao's identity; even now, it was already somewhat risky.

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Shan hadn't been in seclusion for long and probably wouldn't have attracted the Soul Hall's attention, and that Xiao Yan genuinely needed the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild's help, he wouldn't have wanted to be so conspicuous.

Ideally, he should develop directly to the Dou Zong and then slap that Wu Protector to death.

However, he wasn't too worried. Calculating the time, Yun Shan was Dou Zong expert of about two or three stars when the Three-Year Agreement. Considering the Soul Hall's ability to force growth, it would actually take at most two or three years for him to reach two or three stars.

This even underestimates the Soul Hall.

However, he couldn't gamble that the Soul Hall hadn't made contact with Yun Shan earlier, so staying away from the Misty Cloud Sect was the best option.

After finishing his business in Black Rock City, he will go to the Tagor Desert, cultivate to the level of Da Dou Shi, and then go to the Jia Nan Academy, where he will stay for three years!

If he were lucky enough to defeat the Fallen Heart Flame, he was quite confident that he could advance to the Dou Emperor level at the Jia Nan Academy.

At that time, a Wu Protector is not worthy of his fear. As for Yun Shan, he is, after all, the nominal grandmaster, and not easy to kill. But if he doesn't know what's good for him, Xiao Yan wouldn't mind cleaning up his own sect!

"However, regardless of the circumstances, congratulations! From this moment on, you are a genuine Third-Grade alchemist!"

Frank was somewhat disappointed by Xiao Yan's answer, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Some senior masters prefer to let their disciples grow through their own abilities. Otherwise, if they could obtain the Blood Demon Flame, Xiao Yan requires the blood of a thousand demonic beasts to create, wouldn't they be able to get an alchemist-level badge for Xiao Yan?

Frank had figured it out: as long as he could build a good relationship with Xiao Yan, he could very well become friends with a Seventh-Grade or higher alchemist. Even if he didn't get to meet the senior, he could still ask Xiao Yan for advice when Xiao Yan grew up!

Whether it's cultivation or alchemy, those who have mastered the art are your teachers. Don't underestimate Xiao Yan just because he's a child; his Alchemy are already at a level that many people can only achieve after decades of hard work!

Thinking of this, Frank waved to one of his men, who quickly walked out of the hall and returned a moment later carrying an exquisite black robe on a jade tray.

"This is the special attire for Third-Grade alchemist. With your experience, this kind of robe should be quite familiar to you, right?"

Frank had already assumed Xiao Yan's identity, so he naturally wouldn't go into detail about the craftsmanship and special features of the alchemist's robe. He simply took the tray and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Taking the exquisite black robe, Xiao Yan scanned it and saw an Alchemist Badge affixed to the chest area. On the badge, on the surface of an ancient medicine cauldron, were three silver patterns resembling water ripples, gently undulating like real water.

Wow, there are even dynamic effects!

The palm ran across the black robe, the soft touch like a woman's delicate skin, giving a wonderful tactile experience.

He removed his black clothes and put on the alchemist's robe. Instantly, the black robe pressed against his skin, giving him a cool and comfortable feeling. A faint fragrance entered his nostrils, invigorating his slightly tired spirit.
