Chapter 15: Storage Ring

Su Yun's expression brightened when he heard this, and immediately he and Luo Qian changed their location once again.

Su Yun stood in front of the stone platform, adjusted his state slightly, looked at the prescription, and immediately began alchemy.

Luo Qian watched Su Yun's skilled alchemy technique with admiration. He couldn't help but sigh at the saying "the former generation is always surpassed by the new."

Fourth-grade pills were not easy to refine, especially since he was only at the Fighter level, and he didn't have much Dou Qi to spare.

Every bit of Dou Qi had to be used carefully.

Finally, amidst Luo Qian's fascinated observation, Su Yun successfully refined a fourth-grade pill once again.

Su Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly. With his current cultivation level, it was still a bit difficult. It all depended on his skilled techniques.

"Take a look."

Su Yun handed the pill to Luo Qian and then reached into his pocket, secretly taking out a Qi Recovery Pill from the system space and putting it in his mouth.

Luo Qian carefully took the pill and examined it closely.

"Yes, this is indeed the fourth-grade pill, Condensing Yuan Pill!"

Although Luo Qian was only a third-grade alchemist, he was experienced, and he had encountered many fourth-grade alchemists before.

Although he couldn't refine them himself, he could still identify fourth-grade pills.

"Condensing Yuan Pill, a fourth-grade pill. When consumed, it can help the Dou Spirit's Dou Qi condense further, alleviating the instability of Dou Qi."

Luo Qian put away the Condensing Yuan Pill and couldn't help but ask Su Yun.

"I have a question, if you don't mind enlightening me?"

Luo Qian's tone was slightly respectful. In the path of alchemy, the more accomplished one was, the more respected they were, so it was natural for a third-grade alchemist to show respect to a fourth-grade alchemist.

"Luo, you're being too polite. If you don't mind, just call me by my name. Feel free to ask whatever you like."

Su Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Earlier, Luo Qian had allowed him to take a shortcut and skip the standard assessment, which had left Su Yun with some goodwill towards him.

"In that case, I'll be direct and call you Han Junior."

Seeing that Su Yun was easy to talk to, Luo Qian also became more casual and said with a smile.

"With your alchemy skills, why did you only come to participate in the alchemist assessment now?"

Su Yun understood. It was rare for someone to reach the rank of a fourth-grade alchemist in one go, except for someone like him who had experienced setbacks.

Regarding this, he had already prepared an explanation.

"I'm not afraid to be laughed at for this matter. Although I have some talent in alchemy, my talent in cultivation is really poor. It wasn't until recently that I broke through to the Fighter level. Only then did I have enough Dou Qi to support the refining of second-grade pills and above. After that, I secluded myself to refine pills for a long time without contacting the outside world, which is why I'm here now for the assessment."

A bitter smile flickered across Su Yun's face as he exposed his aura, revealing his cultivation level as a one-star Fighter.

Luo Qian suddenly realized. So that was the case.

Luo Qian immediately felt a lot more balanced in his heart. Indeed, Su Yun's talent in cultivation was quite poor.

"I see. I unintentionally exposed your shortcomings."

"It's nothing."

Su Yun's expression remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Quite free and easy. Luo Qian's evaluation of Su Yun rose even higher.

The two of them walked out of the assessment area and entered the hall.

Luo Qian waved his hand, called over a subordinate, and whispered a few words to him.

It's unclear what Luo Qian said, but the man's body trembled, and he instinctively looked towards Su Yun.

Su Yun glanced at him without saying anything.

A fourth-grade alchemist was already quite a remarkable figure in Wutan City.

The subordinate, being looked at by Su Yun, felt nervous and quickly left the hall.

Neither Su Yun nor Luo Qian paid much attention to him. They either took it for granted or were prepared for such scenes.

The two waited in the hall for a while until the same subordinate carefully approached with a jade plate.

On the jade plate lay a specially made robe for a fourth-grade alchemist.

"Shall I put it on now?"

"No need."

Su Yun politely declined with a smile, picked up the robe, examined it up and down, and was quite satisfied. With this thing, many things would be easier to handle.

Suddenly, Su Yun's face stiffened, showing a hint of difficulty.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Qian's attention had been on Su Yun all along, so he immediately noticed.

"Cough, I don't know if you could lend me an Storage Ring, and I'll repay you with gold coins later."

Luo Qian was somewhat amused. How could a fourth-grade alchemist like Su Yun not have an Storage Ring?

Su Yun felt a bit embarrassed, but the fact was just that.

He was so used to using the system space that he hadn't paid attention to Acceptance Rings. But now, in front of everyone, he couldn't just store the robe in the system space.

Luo Qian had some speculation in his heart. Su Yun had only recently broken through to the Fighter level. Before that, he was just a Fighter, unable to refine pills above the second grade.

Although first-grade pills could bring decent benefits to alchemists when mass-produced, it was understandable that Su Yun, with his cultivation talent, probably used all his income to exchange for cultivation resources and didn't have spare money to buy an Acceptance Ring.

This was just right, as he could take the opportunity to establish a relationship.

It's good to make friends with smart people. Just like this, without explaining anything, he had already figured it out himself.

"I just happen to have one. I'll give it to you. No need for gold coins. It's not worth much anyway."

Su Yun took the Acceptance Ring and put it on his finger without refusing.

This Acceptance Ring was only the size of a four-square, just a low-level Acceptance Ring, worth about a hundred thousand gold coins.

This amount was certainly considerable for ordinary people, but for a third-grade alchemist, it was nothing.

"Oh, by the way, can I have robes for first, second, and third-grade alchemists as well?"

"Hmm?"

Luo Qian was surprised. "Why is that?"

"For collection."

Su Yun said casually.

Of course, it wasn't just for collection. A fourth-grade alchemist at the age of thirty was normal, but at the age of ten, it was unusual.

A wise man speaks without words. He needed to cover his tracks.

Luo Qian didn't suspect anything and just thought it was Su Yun's peculiar hobby.

Most alchemists were eccentric and had some quirks, so it wasn't worth mentioning.

After the three alchemy robes were brought over, Su Yun and Luo Qian exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the Alchemist Guild.

An hour later, they returned home.

Seeing Little Fairy quietly waiting at home, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been out for too long this time. It was good that nothing had happened.

"Brother, you're back."

Little Fairy saw Su Yun return, her face full of joy. It was great that her brother was back.

"Sister, give me the medicine bag."

Little Fairy took out the medicine bag from the pocket of her skirt and obediently handed it to Su Yun.

Seeing the intact medicine bag in his hand, Su Yun's heart finally settled.

The medicine bag contained poison, which he had prepared for Little Fairy in case of emergencies. Its toxicity was enough to incapacitate a strong expert at the level of a Great Fighter.

If Little Fairy accidentally ingested it, it would be a big problem.

The Calamity Poison Body would activate now, but at his rate of growth, he might not be able to keep up.

Moreover, the appearance of the Bodhi Transformation Saliva was very late, and he had no idea where it was now.
