72 072 – A clone's life - 04 - Nie Li - 04

Nie Yu nodded her head and replied with sparkling eyes, "Yes! It would be so fun!"

Nie Li then said with a serious face, "I'll have to leave the family for a few days, then I'll come back to take you with me. But until then you must train diligently so that your parents wouldn't be able to refuse, okay?"

She pouted a little, she thought that they were going outside of the city right now.

He couldn't resist her cuteness, so he added, "If you do it then I'll take you outside of the city by flight, how about it?"

She hugged him tightly and excitedly said, "Really!? Okay, I'll train hard until you come back!"

{Hehe, she's so cute!}

Bidding her farewell, he then flew in the direction of the Alchemist Association.

To himself, he said, {I'm just taking care of my little sister, I'm definitely not a siscon!}

——————————

There, as he was greeted by Xiao Lan, he was surprised that she made a breakthrough and was now a 1-Star Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist.

{Xiao Yan must've already traded the cultivation techniques he prepared while he was in the Temporal Demon Spirit Book with his mother}

When she heard that he was here for the Alchemy Master Examination, she thought, {Again? Did somebody spread the word that it was easy to become an Alchemist?}

But since he already paid, she could only lead him to the take the test.

There was a man around thirty years old waiting outside of the room he entered when he was here as Xiao Yan.

Xiao Lan said, "Only two Primary Alchemy Masters are taking care of the exams, the others are all busy refining pills, right now it's almost two hours since the last one entered, so you'll have to wait another two hours to enter"

Once Xiao Lan left, the man laughed and said, "Haha, kid, you're in-", he was knocked down by Xiao Yan before he could finish his sentence.

Nie Li put him on the ground so that he wouldn't hurt himself.

The reason he knocked him is because he recognized him, he was called Chu Ning.

In the story he was just an arrogant young master, so Nie Li didn't feel the need to listen to his nonsense.

{So after failing today, he would try again in a few weeks when Chen Linjian's group would come back from the Ancient Orchid City Ruins}

{Just how lousy is his luck to be here at the same time as me?}

Nie Li pressed a few of the latter's acupuncture points so that he would stay asleep for at least a few hours.

When he finished, the door of the room opened and a depressed old man went out.

He didn't even look at Nie Li and left.

{Come on, just try working harder for the next time!}

As Nie Li entered the room, he was surprised to see the same examiners as last time.

{That'll make things much faster}

Before the two could talk, he said, "You must be uncle Huyan Ming and uncle Mu Yang, I'm Nie Li from the Heavenly Marks Family and also a friend of Xiao Yan. Please pick twenty test papers for me"

{Xiao Yan's friend?}

The eyes of the two old men brightened as they understood that the Association might get another genius Alchemist.

Huyan Ming quickly gave him the papers and without surprise he finished them in twenty minutes.

Mu Yang happily brought him to the Council Hall while the other went to notify the President.

There was two dozens of papers on the wall, so Nie Li quickly answered them and Mu Yang looked at the answers with sparkling eyes.

He wasn't shocked as for him Nie Li was just like Xiao Yan.

Huyan Ming soon came back with Gu Yan and Yang Xin.

Looking at Yang Xin, Nie Li thought, {I really want to start courting her right now, but I should do it when we're alone}

{For now I should act like Xiao Yan, treating her like a big sister}

When Gu Yan saw the answers that he couldn't answer, he knew that Nie Li was also more knowledgeable than him.

He directly asked Yang Xin to give him his badge and robes.

This time she already had the required size robes with her as she kept some for Xiao Yan in case he would need more.

She gave him three robes of Alchemy Master with Senior Rank badge.

Nie Li then said, "Uncle Gu Yan, big sister Yang Xin, Xiao Yan asked me to take the exam to help you in making the most Berserk Potions possible for at least a few weeks"

The President quickly said to Yang Xin, "Director Yang, you'll take care of it", then he turned to Nie Li, "Is there something else?"

Since there wasn't, Gu Yan left and the two Elders went looking to the answers on the wall.

As for Nie Li, he was guided to Yang Xin's office by herself.

——————————

Once there, she said while giving him a storage ring, "Here is all of the required ingredients that we have to make Berserk Potions", she pointed at a door on one side of the office, "It's the room where I normally do alchemy, nobody will bother you and you can use it whenever you want. I have a lot of work to do, so I won't leave this room at least until tomorrow night. You can come ask me if you need anything"

Nie Li thanked Yang Xin and entered the room, {Well, let's first work, I'll have all the time to court her later}

He started making berserk potions without caring about the passing time.

The body of a Legend Rank could handle a month without eating nor drinking, so he didn't worry about that.

And with his soul realm at the 9-Fate Heavenly Fate, he also didn't need to recuperate for making the simple berserk potions.

Continuing the whole day, he didn't stop at night nor did he take a break.

By the time he finished the ingredients of the storage ring, it was already night of the next day.
