Registered

Alex arrived back at the shop late afternoon after having left just a few hours ago. 

There was a line of customers waiting for his arrival, all of them here to show one issue they had or another. Fang Yuxie sat behind her chair, while Wang Yanwei couldn't be seen at all.

She was most likely looking after the patients with what little knowledge she had

Alex thought of it as little, but to a regular cultivator, it would be a vast amount of knowledge.

Fang Yuxie perked up after seeing him. "You're back!" she said. "How did it go?"

Alex gave an awkward smile. "I didn't expect them to take a thousand spirit stones for it," he said.

"But you did get registered, right? They didn't immediately ban you?" she asked.

"Yes, I registered," Alex said. "The preliminary entrance test will be held in the city, apparently, about half a year from now. You should've tried to enter too. Just taking the exam wouldn't have mattered at all."
