Chapter 14 - Demon Pot and Alchemy Exam.

Alchemy Association

Now, Six Years Later, Yang Xin also changed.

Six years, she became the Director of the Alchemy Association. Few Year ago Tatsuya improved her cultivation technique for her. With that, and resources from Alchemy Association.

She was easily able to become Black Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist. She had even reached its peak she was just trying to find a Legend Rank Demon Spirit that suited her.

Currently, She was lazing around. These were her happy days. Although Tatsuya was her student, he was no different from Demon forcing her to work hard every day.

Finally, after so many years, she was free from work for once. Just when she was enjoying her freedom. She heard the sound of demonic footsteps coming towards her.

She had a bad feeling. She slowly turned her head towards the door because of the light coming from the door, She could only see a silhouette. She felt a chill on her back. She has had nightmares about this same scene.

"Teacher" She felt she heard a demon calling her.

She put her hands on the floor and tried to crawl out of the room from the other door but before she could she felt someone in front of him.

She slowly looked up and stammered "Ta-ta-Tatsuya"

Tatsuya looked at her with a smile "Teacher, were you going somewhere."

"Ha-ha-ha" Yang Xin let out a hollow laugh "I am not going anywhere. Why did you come? If you needed anything you could have just sent a servant with a message."

Tatsuya shook his head "It seems like Teacher is not happy to see me."

Yang Xin shook her hands in front of her sweat was starting to form on her cheeks "No..No... I am very happy to see you Tatsuya."

Tatsuya took out some papers from his Interspacial Ring. "Teacher, these are some new things for you."

Yang Xin looked at papers. She felt like happy, lazy life was slipping away. Before she used to be happy but after she became the director she realized how much work she would have to do because of him.

She held the papers with her trembling hands.

She didn't even have the strength to read what was written in the paper. She knew once she read then no matter how much she didn't want to do the work she would do it for the Glory City.

"Tatsuya-Ge, You shouldn't tease Lady Yang Xin so much."

Tatsuya just shrugged "Teacher, You should read those and prepare to meet City Lord."

Yang Xin shivered when she heard about the meeting and poked Tatsuya's chest with no strength in her trembling finger "You...You just want to throw all the work at me, don't you?

Tatsuya had an 'Oh! you finally noticed' "No, not at all. I am still weak if I did something taking credit for this then Dark Guild might kidnap me."

Yang Xin muttered under her breath "that would be their bad luck"

"Teacher, did you say something?"

"No, Lord Tatsuya is there anything else you need" Yang Xin said while sulking.

Tatsuya acted as if he didn't see that "Yes, I am going to the treasure house. An orange head kid would be coming to see me. Please bring him to the treasure house."

Yang Xin wanted to curse him for giving her more work but soon became interested "Oh!! who is this guy." Yang Xin suddenly became curious to get access to that place. That kid not only earned Tatsuya's trust but was also very talented.

"He is someone interesting. First, let him give the test. If and only if he fails to pass contact him and bring him in."

Yang Xin became even more interested "Is this guy an alchemist"

Tatsuya didn't know if Nie Li was an alchemist or not. There were only a few ways a person could earn 10 million demon spirit coins. Nie Li was confident that he could get that amount of money. He must have some knowledge of Alchemy even if he wasn't one. Tatsuya just needed to buy time for something.

"That is something you have to find out Teacher."

With that, Tatsuya moved towards the center of the building.

"Then, I will see you later Lady Yang Xin. All the best with the work." Miyuki politely gave her greetings and left while chuckling.

Soon Tatsuya and Miyuki reached the center of the room. All of a sudden inscription pattern started to shine in the room. The light became so bright that Yang Xin couldn't see anything. When she opened her eyes Tatsuya and Miyuki had already disappeared.

Yang Xin looked at the place where they disappeared then looked at the papers. She threw the papers in her ring and started to laze around. Although she was curious about this kid nothing was more important than resting.

Tatsuya and Miyuki reached a room filled with treasures.

Miyuki looked at the large room. It was the size of a hall. It looked like a museum room.

There were items kept inside the glass cases or kept on a pedestal. All of them looked ancient and had a mysterious air around them.

Miyuki curiously looked around then looked at the inscription under her feet. "Is this made from Flying Thunder God?"

"Yes, with a flash spell in the mix."

Miyuki looked at the different artifacts some were swords, some were scrolls, some were in the shape of weapons "Tatsuya-sama, are these artifacts that even you don't know about."

Tatsuya reached in front of an Errie Pot "I know because of elemental sight there are few things that I could not understand."

"Then, why are they all here?"

"Using them will invite unwanted attention. They are far too powerful to use without completely knowing about the world. Some of them are powerful to a point that it makes me wonder how is that they were just laying around in the treasure house of these aristocratic families. I can't imagine how powerful the people who made them were. This one is the rarest of all."

Miyuki looked at the pot "what is so special about this one."

Tatsuya slowly took the pot out "If you put ten demon spirits in it. Then only one would survive in the end much stronger than before. There is a slight chance it would come much stronger."

Miyuki felt there must be more otherwise Tatsuya wouldn't come early to use it "is that all it does?"

Tatsuya sat down on the floor and kept the pot in front of him and started by putting demon spirits in it "It seems each demon spirit is different. The amount of information each demon spirit possess is different. More information that a demon spirit possesses shows its future potential.

After many tries, I was able to create a very rare Black Scaled Earth Dragon for City Lord it possessed a much higher amount of information than any other demon spirit I had seen before it. I plan to make a few for Teacher and Ning'Er and some for an emergency."

Miyuki blinked "We can always not give this to Nie Li maybe he will choose something else"

Tatsuya shook his head "Miyuki, there are only a few possibilities about what could have happened to Nie Li. No matter which one it is I am sure he would know about this item. Moreover, the mission we got was to help Nie Li. I won't take a risk with your safety on the line"

Soon, a demon spirit came out from the pot. It was slightly strong but not much.

He tried a few more times but with no luck.

Soon he put another batch in but at this moment Miyuki stopped him "Tatsuya-sama wait, take this" She took out a pair of gloves with five purple materia attached to each of them.

Tatsuya looked at the gloves and materias' "is this what you bought"

Miyuki had a small blush on her face "yes, they can increase your luck maybe it will help you."

Tatsuya wanted to ask why she needed to increase her luck but then thought it better if doesn't ask. He picked the gloves put them in his soul realm.

While Tatsuya and Miyuki were busy. Nie and others were coming towards

In Glory City, the Alchemist Association's position was on the rise. It was a monster-like existence. It is only slightly lower than the City Lord Mansion.

Within Nie Li's brain, there are all sorts of knowledge regarding alchemy. If they are used properly, he could strengthen the Alchemy Association even more. With that, he could strengthen Glory City even more.

The Alchemist Association is a vast construct. The courtyard pavilion alone took up a huge amount of space. The hall in front had lots of alchemists wearing different colored robes walking in and out.

One can see how glorious the Alchemist Association was based on the magnificent construct. Let alone there were four more constructs like these that Association recently constructed.

Alchemists are differentiated into Apprentice, Master, and Grandmaster. Every rank is then further split into Primary, Intermediate, and Senior levels. Apprentices would wear a grey robe, Masters would wear white robe and Grandmasters would wear silver robes. Most of the alchemists that walked in and out were apprentice ranks. As for the master rank, there were many master rank too. Only one or two of them were grandmasters.

Because of the new alchemy schools there were and incentives given by City Hall and Alchemy Association. With the increasing popularity, the number of alchemists and younger generation upstarts were getting more and more.

After entering the Alchemist Association, Xiao Ning'er, Du Ze, Lu Piao, and bunch all looked around. They didn't know where should they find Tatsuya.

Nie Li carefully recalled that within the Alchemist Association, there is a six-man elder group that has the most power of speech. They are all a bunch of old men with the lowest of them being an Early Alchemy Grandmaster, followed by two intermediate Alchemy GrandMasters. Aside from this six-man elder group, there is the director that manages the various matters of the Alchemist Association.

In the final battle of Glory City in his previous life, the Alchemist Association contributed a lot. In the end, everyone heroically died in battle. At the very least, Nie Li can confirm that they are not with the Sacred Family.

"Nice to have you here, what can I do for you?" A lady wearing a grey robe walked over and asked. She's the receptionist of the Alchemist Association Hall.

Nie Li looked at the tall lady and lightly smiled. "We are here on Tatsuya's Invitation."

She carefully looked at his and hair and smiled "I see, You must be the orange hair kid." She took out an envelope "Director asked me to give this to you."

Nie Li's mouth twitched although he was a kid he counted his past life he was far older than her. He took the envelope from her hand.

He soon opened it and read it.

Lu Piao poked Nie Li "Oee, what written in it?"

Nie Li narrowed his eyes and whispered "That only alchemist are allowed to enter treasure house."

Lu Piao was furious "Damn, does that guy want to go back on the deal"

Du Ze was also discontented. He didn't expect Tatsuya to do something like this.

Nie Li realized there must be more to it but he decided to play along. Getting Nightmare Demon Pot was his priority.

"Then I will take the Alchemist Exam," Nie Li stated as he looked at the tall lady, and lightly smiled. "May I know how I can address you?"

Xiao Ning'er, Du Ze, Lu Piao, and the bunch looked at Nie Li in shock. They never, in their imaginations, imagined that Nie Li would suddenly decide to take the Alchemist Exam. Could it be that Nie Li is also good at alchemy?

"You can call me Xiao Lan. You're here for the Apprentice test, right? Have you been preparing well? Alchemist apprentices must be familiar with over three books of alchemy foundations," Xiao Lan said, lightly smiled. Those books have more than hundreds of thousands of words about the alchemy foundation, that were covered over three years of course.

"Miss Xiao Lan, can I take the Alchemy Master exam?" Nie Li asked, looking towards Xiao Lan.

Hearing Nie Li's words, Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Although it's possible, do you know how much practice is needed to become an Alchemy Master?"

Xiao Lan swept her eyes across Nie Li with a curious look. 'Was this the reason he got Tatsuya's invitation'

"Joining the exams for the Alchemy Masters requires you to pay upfront two hundred demon spirit coins, and it is required to pay first before taking the exam," Miss Xiao Lan said, looking at Nie Li.

"Just two hundred demon spirit coins? Alright, lead the way!" Nie Li said to Xiao Lan. He turned his head towards Xiao Ning'er and bunch.

"You guys remain here. Once I finish the exam, I'll come looking for you guys," Nie Li carefreely said Nie Li.

"Okay, we'll be here for you to finish the exams," Lu Piao laughed. He seems to have confidence in Nie Li.

"Follow me," Xiao Lan smiled.

It had been a few hours since Tatsuya and Miyuki passed. She fell asleep. She had just woken up and was wiping drool off her face.

When suddenly two old masters entered.

Both of them looked at each other and coughed.

Yang Xin slowly got up "What are two Masters doing here"

Huyan Ming spoke first "Director look this is the test of the young master you and Grandmaster Tatsuya recommended."

Before both of them even reacted Yang Xin was standing in front of them and had taken papers from her hand.

"Interesting. How old is the kid" Yang Xin said while looking at the paper.

Both of them spoke up excitedly "He is only thirteen years old" but soon they became suspicious "Didn't you recommend it"

Yang Xin awkwardly coughed she couldn't tell them that she was lazing around "Of course I know. No need to take any more of his bring him here"

As soon as they left Yang Xin ran to the center of the room and activated teleportation.
