Alchemist Assessment

"Of course."

Su Yun's face was indifferent, without the slightest ripple.

The guard standing in front of Su Yun quietly observed his expression.

Calm and unruffled. He clearly had confidence, and did not look like an ordinary person trying to sneak in and broaden his horizons.

However, he was not wearing an Alchemist Robe, nor did he have an alchemist badge on his chest. It seemed he was not an alchemist.

The guard had a grasp of the situation.

"Sir, may I ask if you have an invitation, or an appointment with a certain alchemist? Otherwise, you cannot enter."

Su Yun deliberately made his face look impatient, and a fierce flame surged out from his hand.

"Fourth Grade Alchemist!"

Shock flashed across both guards' faces.

As guards of the Alchemist Guild, they had some understanding of alchemists. Directly condensing Solid Flame in one's hand was something only a Fourth Grade Alchemist could do.

This slightly short middle-aged man before them was actually a Fourth Grade Alchemist!

"Well? Can I go in now?"

Su Yun withdrew the flame and said faintly.

He had long anticipated this situation and had already thought of a solution. Copying Xiao Yan's method was not difficult. After all, he was now a genuine Fourth Grade Alchemist.

The guard's hand, which had originally been blocking Su Yun, immediately lowered. His expression turned respectful, and he bent his body, his attitude clearly becoming eager.

Su Yun did not make things difficult for them either.

These two were merely doing their duty.

After entering the Alchemist Guild, Su Yun smelled a distinct medicinal fragrance.

He found the person in charge of registering for the alchemist assessment.

"Sir, are you here to take the alchemist assessment?"

The one in charge of registration was a young woman in white.

"Mm." Su Yun nodded.

Hearing this, the woman in white took a sheet of parchment from the drawer in the counter, then picked up a pen from the counter and handed them to Su Yun.

"Sir, please fill out the form first."

Su Yun took the parchment and pen and began filling it out. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, then continued writing.

After he finished, he handed the parchment to the woman in white.

The woman in white glanced at it briefly.

Name: Han Li

Age: Thirty

Teacher: Wu Huasheng

Wu Huasheng?

The woman in white was surprised. What a strange name.

However, she did not say anything. She was merely a receptionist. It was only a name. Even if it was an alias, it was not her place to ask questions.

The woman in white brought Su Yun to the assessment location.

The door was open. Clearly, no one inside was undergoing an assessment.

Thinking about it, that made sense. In a remote place like Wutan City, the chance of an alchemist appearing was not high.

At this moment, an old man wearing an Alchemist Robe, with a badge on his chest, walked over. Three silver ripples were carved on the badge.

Upon seeing this old man, the woman in white looked respectful and said softly,

"Guild Leader."

"Mm."

This old man had a kindly expression and nodded.

"This is the gentleman who wishes to undergo the alchemist assessment."

The woman in white gestured toward Su Yun to the old man, then left.

The old man sized Su Yun up from head to toe, then smiled and said to Su Yun,

"Come, let us go in."

When Su Yun heard this, he followed.

Following behind the old man, he scanned him.

Name: Luo Qianchen

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Nine Star Great Dou Master

Alchemy: Third Grade Alchemist

Physique: None

Attributes: Fire, Wood

Cultivation Method: Mysterious Tier Middle Grade "Flame Art"

Dou Techniques: Mysterious Tier Low Grade "Fire Cloud Palm"...

Items: Low-grade Ring of Holding...

Ever since Su Yun had obtained this system, he had developed a habit.

Anyone within the system's scanning range, he would scan them. In any case, unlike fusion, there was no consumption.

He could also obtain other people's information. Why not do it?

"Third Grade Alchemist..."

In the original work, in the large cities within the Jiama Empire, the Guild Leaders of the Alchemist Guild were all Fourth Grade. It could only be said that a place like Wutan City was far too remote.

Su Yun did not dwell on this any further and followed Luo Qianchen to the assessment location.

"If there are no problems, then begin."

Luo Qianchen smiled amiably.

Perhaps because there were too few alchemists in Wutan City, this old man's attitude toward Su Yun was unexpectedly good.

"All right."

Su Yun also smiled at Luo Qianchen. If others respected him a foot, he would respect them ten. Since the old man's attitude was kind, he naturally greeted him with a smile.

Su Yun stood before a stone platform. On it lay a sheet of parchment and three sets of medicinal ingredients.

According to the Alchemist Guild's rules, as long as he used these three sets of medicinal ingredients to refine the pill written on the parchment, he would be considered to have passed.

There was no need to say much about the process. With his current strength, refining a First Grade Pill was as easy as turning over his hand.

After some time passed, a pill appeared in Su Yun's hand.

Luo Qianchen's eyes went slightly dazed. He had only used one set of medicinal ingredients, and his refining technique was extremely practiced!

Su Yun handed the pill to Luo Qianchen.

"Please take a look."

Luo Qianchen only examined it briefly.

"Very good, quite good. Even if this old man refined it himself, I fear the appearance would not be as fine as yours."

Admiration filled Luo Qianchen's eyes as he stroked his beard.

"Little brother, you are likely not only here to be assessed as a First Grade Alchemist, are you?"

"That is correct." Su Yun nodded.

This was not hard to see. His alchemy technique could not be faked, and it was simply not something a First Grade Alchemist could possess.

"Then follow me. It was merely one First Grade Pill. No need to rest, right?"

Luo Qianchen spoke as he walked.

"No need. Thank you, elder."

Su Yun once again followed behind Luo Qianchen.

The two walked toward another place.

"This is the place. Come."

Anticipation flashed in Luo Qianchen's eyes, as though he wanted to see some more dazzling performance.

"This..."

A trace of hesitation flashed through Su Yun's eyes.

"What is it? If there is some difficulty, tell this old man about it."

Luo Qianchen was very considerate toward Su Yun and spoke pleasantly.

Su Yun pondered briefly, but still said,

"Guild Leader, I wonder if I can directly take the Fourth Grade Alchemist assessment?"

"What!?"

Luo Qianchen's eyes widened, his eyeballs nearly popping out.

Su Yun had his own considerations for saying this.

Rather than wasting time on these low-level assessments, it would be faster to directly take the Fourth Grade test.

Moreover, if he had to take the tests level by level like this, he would have to meditate in the middle to recover his Dou Qi. It would definitely take until dark.

With such a long time, he could not feel at ease leaving Xiao Yi Xian alone.

Furthermore, he was confident he could make Luo Qianchen agree.

Su Yun repeated the same old trick and stretched his hand forward. A ball of flame appeared in his palm.

"Solid Flame! Fourth Grade Alchemist!"

Luo Qianchen's heart jumped. This was a realm he had pursued for twenty years without reaching, yet it had actually been reached by such a young fellow!?

If Luo Qianchen knew that this middle-aged man who looked about thirty in front of him was not even eleven years old yet, who knew what he would think.

"Good, good, good.

Although according to the Guild's rules, one must take the assessments level by level, since you can already condense Solid Flame,

making an exception once is not impossible."

Luo Qianchen's voice was calm, but from his trembling hands, it was not hard to see that his current mood was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
