Exclusive Alchemist?

Soon after, Qin Yu arrived at the Medicinal Materials Vault, where a long queue had already formed at the entrance. Many students held application forms in their hands, hoping to obtain the medicinal herbs they wanted.

"Hey buddy, where's your application form?"

Just as Qin Yu was about to be called, a student who came up behind him suddenly patted him on the shoulder, acting as if they were old friends.

"Oh, I see. You're a freshman, right? You can't get the medicinal herbs without an application form."

Seeing that his hands were empty, the man kindly reminded Qin Yu.

"Thanks for the reminder, but..."

"Next!"

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, the person in charge of the Medicinal Materials Vault banged on the table, his words devoid of any enthusiasm for his work, filled only with the resentment of a laborer.

"Elder Huo's warrant?"

But when Qin Yu handed over the token given by Elder Huo, the person in charge's expression immediately became serious.

"Please come in. Remember to register here after you've taken the medicine."

The person in charge quickly returned the pass to Qin Yu, indicating that he could go in.

Accidentally entered...

The person behind Qin Yu, upon witnessing this scene, suddenly had a melody pop into their mind for some reason.

"What are you dawdling for?! It's your turn!"

Well, the melody in my mind hadn't even begun to play before it was interrupted by the person in charge.

The process of applying for medicinal herbs for regular students is never smooth, and each person can only apply for one set of medicinal herbs at a time.

This guy is something else! Not only does he not have to submit an application form, but judging from the person in charge, he can take as much as he wants, no matter how much!

"Um... I'd like to apply for a piece of Azure Blood Ganoderma."

"What do you, a mere second-grade cultivator, need these herbs for refining Third-Rank Pill? Rejected!"

Not only was the melody interrupted, but the application was also rejected.

On the other side, Qin Yu had already entered the Medicinal Materials Vault, where rows of wooden shelves were neatly arranged and filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, and his nostrils were instantly filled with more than a dozen different medicinal fragrances.

His senses expanded, and the entire Medicinal Materials Vault became crystal clear in his mind.

"Tsk, five Fifth-Rank Pill, Elder Huo, since you've made this request, don't blame me for taking advantage of you."

After confirming the location of several medicinal herbs, Qin Yu went to find them one by one.

Elder Huo didn't give him the warrant for nothing.

When Qin Yu displayed his skills in the Alchemy Department, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill he refined surprised all the elders.

Elder Huo also realized what kind of restriction Qin Yu was facing, so he offered to provide Qin Yu with convenient access to medicinal herbs.

However, as a test, Qin Yu needs to refine five different Fifth-Rank Pill within a week of obtaining the medicinal materials in order to retain this privilege.

If that's not possible, then Qin Yu will have no choice but to honestly fill out the application form.

Qin Yu had already decided on the five Fifth-Rank Pill he wanted to refine on his way here.

Everything is ready except for the medicinal herbs.

After searching for a while, the medicinal herbs had been collected almost completely, with only one last plant missing.

Suddenly, Qin Yu stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling on a black flower.

The petals were as black as ink, while the stamens were snow-white, creating a striking contrast that was both eerie and beautiful.

The whole flower exudes a faint, delicate fragrance that soothes the mind.

Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly.

Sixth-Rank Medicinal Material, Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower.

This medicinal herb is extremely rare, growing only in places where yin and yang meet, and it takes a hundred years for one flower to mature.

It is the core ingredient for refining a Sixth-Rank Pill.

More importantly...

Within the legacy of the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, there is a complete formula for the Sixth-Rank Pill.

The medicine is called Yin-Yang Suppression of Calamity Pill, a peak sixth-grade pill, on par with the Sect-Breaking Pill. It is specifically used to suppress various threats caused by unstable energy within the body.

It also has a certain inhibitory effect on Woeful Poison Body.

Although my Alchemy haven't reached that level yet, these Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower aren't something you can see just anywhere.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, Qin Yu decided to take the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower.

Anyway, Elder Huo has given me a quota, so taking a high-level medicinal herb is still possible.

Just as he turned to leave, a figure swept past above the wooden frame, and Qin Yu felt his hand lighten; the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower he had just obtained were gone.

He looked up and saw a small figure sitting on the top shelf of the medicinal herbs, swinging its legs.

The little girl looked to be only ten years old, wearing a purple dress, with her hair tied in two small braids, and her face round and chubby.

At that moment, she was holding the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, bringing it to her nose to smell it, and then turning her head to ask:

"Who are you? How can you carry so many medicinal herbs at once?"

Looking at that chubby little face, Qin Yu already knew the answer in his heart.

Zi Yan.

Although I arrived at the Inner Academy three years early, this little girl is still here.

etc...

Could it be that this little girl has been dominating the top spot on the Strong List for the past three years?

Qin Yu didn't rush to ask for the flower back. Knowing Zi Yan as he did, he knew she wouldn't return the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower so easily.

"Are you from the Medicinal Materials Vault?"

"No, I sneaked in."

Zi Yan shook her head and said matter-of-factly.

Qin Yu remained silent for a moment.

"Then why did you steal my medicinal herbs?"

"Just curious."

Zi Yan tilted her head, looking at Qin Yu curiously.

"I've been here so many times, and I've never seen anyone carry medicinal herbs like you."

"Others have to write an application first and wait for the person in charge to approve it before they can get any medicinal herbs, and they can only get one or two items at a time."

"You're so easygoing, taking whatever you want as if you're buying vegetables at the market."

As they were talking, Zi Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.

"Hey, do you have some kind of special identity?"

"Is he Su Qian's illegitimate son? Or a relative of the dean's family?"

Qin Yu fell silent for the second time; this little girl really had a rich imagination.

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I won't return the flowers to you."

Seeing that Qin Yu remained silent, Zi Yan raised the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower even higher.

Looking at her curious expression, Qin Yu knew that she didn't really want to take his things; she was just simply curious and greedy.

It's probably more about having a sweet tooth.

"I am Alchemist. Elder Huo gave me this warrant to come to the Medicinal Materials Vault to retrieve herbs for alchemy."

"Old Man Huo gave you the warrant? When did that guy become so nice?"

Upon hearing Qin Yu's answer, Zi Yan's first reaction was disbelief.

That stingy old man actually allowed people to freely take herbs from the Medicinal Materials Vault?

"Perhaps... my Alchemy have reached the required level?"

"So, you must be good at making lots of delicious food?"

"Delicious?"

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. Was this the beginning of his foodie nature gradually taking over his personality?

"Yes, if you can help me refine a few delicious pills, I'll return this flower to you."

Zi Yan jumped down from the wooden frame, landed lightly on the ground, walked up to Qin Yu, and looked up at him.

"How about it?"
