A Great Wonder of the World

A little over a month is neither a long nor a short time.

When they set off from Desert City, Qin Yu and his group were not traveling very fast.

But after leaving the Imperial Capital, Xiao Yi Xian found a familiar companion in the nearby Mountain Range.

Her Blue Eagle, Xiao Lan.

When they first left Qingshan Town, it was Xiao Lan who escorted Xiao Yi Xian all the way to the Imperial Capital.

Since then, it has been circling in the nearby Mountain Range, waiting for Xiao Yi Xian to return.

On the way back, Xiao Yi Xian called out on a whim, and to her surprise, it actually came.

With Blue Eagle as my mode of transportation, the journey became much faster.

Xiao Yi Xian and her daughter Qing Lin sat on the broad back of the Blue Eagle, while Qin Yu spread his Purple Cloud Wings and followed beside them.

For more than a month, Qin Yu devoted most of his attention to alchemy.

He genuinely found this thing interesting.

Watching those unremarkable medicinal herbs melt, purify, and fuse under the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames, eventually condensing into smooth and lustrous pills, the sense of accomplishment is even more exhilarating than fighting a battle.

Moreover, with the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron -Suppressing Cauldron as his foundation, Qin Yu felt like a player who had leveled up and was now killing monsters while keeping his level low.

Coupled with his own Top-Tier Comprehension and the legacy left by that unknown Alchemist, Qin Yu's Alchemy improved by leaps and bounds in the past month.

Currently, the success rate of fourth-grade pills has stabilized at over 70%, as for Fifth-Rank Pill...

He had no medicinal herbs.

The medicinal herbs that can be used to refine Fifth-Rank Pill are no longer common in the Jia Ma Empire.

Gathering all the medicinal ingredients needed for a single pill is quite difficult.

As dusk fell, the walls of Heiyan City came into view of the group.

The Blue Eagle folded its wings and landed on a clearing.

Xiao Yi Xian jumped off the eagle's back, then turned around and stretched out a hand to Qin Yu.

"Snack."

Qin Yu just landed when he heard those two words and immediately slapped Xiao Yi Xian's hand away.

"You've exceeded your limit for today."

Since Qin Yu became Alchemist, he tried to re-refine the poisons that Xiao Yi Xian usually ate, turning them into a bunch of small pills.

The effect is similar to ingesting poison directly, but the taste is far superior.

At least, some of the strange smell of the poison has been removed.

"I only ate ten more!"

"Your recommended daily intake is only ten pills!"

As Qin Yu spoke, he strode directly toward Heiyan City.

Xiao Yi Xian paused for a moment, then pouted and looked at Qin Yu pitifully.

Qin Yu ignored her.

Xiao Yi Xian took two more steps and hummed twice in a nasal tone, but Qin Yu slowed his pace and still ignored her.

And so, Qing Lin and Qing Lin mother witnessed this scene:

Xiao Yi Xian rushed forward and hugged Qin Yu's leg, hanging on it completely. She looked up, her eyes even starting to well up with tears.

"Qin Yu, just give me one more, just one!"

Qin Yu looked down at her, his face expressionless.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll throw a tantrum on the ground!"

Qing Lin covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, while Qing Lin's mother couldn't help but turn her face away, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"... How old are you?"

"I don't care! I don't care! You're the one who made me crave it, so you have to take responsibility!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian actually lay down on the ground and began to thrash around.

(As shown in the picture)

Qin Yu sighed helplessly, and finally took out a small, dark purple pill from his Storage Ring and handed it over.

What else could we do but give it to her?

Xiao Yi Xian snatched it away, stuffed it into her mouth, and her eyes immediately curved into two crescent moons.

"Why are you in such a hurry? At your current rate of progress, you'll definitely break through to the Da Dou Shi before returning to Wutan City."

During this time, Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation has not lagged behind at all. She is now Nine-Star Battle Master, just one step away from crossing the threshold of Da Dou Shi.

"The sooner we break through, the sooner we can feel at ease."

The Xiao Yi Xian chewed on a pill and mumbled indistinctly.

Having solved the problems of the little glutton Xiao Yi Xian, the group finally entered the city.

Holding her mother's hand, Qing Lin looked around curiously at the street. The little girl had never seen such a lively place in her life.

Qin Yu found a hotel, settled the three of them in, instructed Xiao Yi Xian to take good care of Qing Lin and her daughter, and then went out alone.

He planned to visit the Alchemist Association in Heiyan City to obtain Alchemist's rank certificate, which would make traveling across the continent easier in the future.

The Imperial Capital is a place where all sorts of people mingle. If I were to rashly reveal the Green Lotus Core Flame, I might attract unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, in order not to delay his trip, Qin Yu chose to take care of this matter in Heiyan City.

Heiyan City is also a large city, but Imperial Capital.

In addition, the guild leader here happens to be Four-Grade Alchemist, who can meet his needs.

However, when Qin Yu arrived at the entrance of the Alchemist Association, he found that the gate was already closed.

Come again tomorrow.

Qin Yu shrugged, not in a hurry; there was plenty of time.

He turned to leave when he suddenly caught sight of a short, chubby figure jogging towards the guild.

Lord Bishop?

The two met face to face, and the newcomer immediately stopped and squinted at Qin Yu.

"... It's you?"

The visitor was none other than Otto, the vice president of the Alchemist Association in Heiyan City, who shared the same name as a certain bishop with a somewhat awkward surname.

"Master Otto, what is this...?"

Seeing Otto's flustered appearance, Qin Yu couldn't help but ask a question.

"Oops, I left something at the guild. I'll come back and get it."

"But you, coming to the guild so late... are you looking for someone?"

Otto asked casually, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yu before suddenly stopping.

After not seeing him for several months, Qin Yu gave him... a slightly different feeling.

"I'm here to take the Alchemist level certification exam."

Qin Yu stated his purpose directly.

"Huh? But your Dou Qi attribute..."

Otto was a little confused. He remembered that this young man was Earth Attribute, so how could he become Alchemist?

"What rank of Alchemist are you aiming for?"

"You'll know when we get here tomorrow."

If you directly tell Otto that you can refine fourth-grade pills, he will most likely take it as a joke or teasing.

We'll know once we test it tomorrow.

"You... you really want to take the Alchemist exam?"

"Certainly."

Otto stared at Qin Yu for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, waved to Qin Yu, and walked towards the guild.

"Come with me."

"Ah?"

"Didn't you want to take the certification exam?"

Otto didn't even turn his head; he went straight forward and opened the guild's gate.

"Let me test your skills first. If there are no problems, you can just come tomorrow to go through the motions and take the things away."

A cultivator of Earth-Attribute Battle Qi becoming Alchemist —this is truly a rare and extraordinary event in the world.

Otto really wanted to see how Qin Yu concocted the medicine.

Since Otto had said so, Qin Yu naturally had no reason to go back, and followed him.
