Chapter 14 Alchemist Assessment

"Of course."

Su Yun's expression was indifferent, without any fluctuations.

The guard standing in front of Su Yun quietly observed his expression.

He appeared calm and confident, obviously not someone who just wanted to sneak in to see the sights.

But since he wasn't wearing the robes of an alchemist and didn't have an alchemist badge on his chest, he didn't seem to be an alchemist.

The guard was confident in his assessment.

"Sir, do you have an invitation letter, or an appointment with a certain alchemist? Otherwise, you cannot enter."

Su Yun pretended to be impatient, and a fierce flame erupted from his hand.

"A fourth-grade alchemist!"

Both guards showed shock on their faces.

As guards of the Alchemist Guild, they had some understanding of alchemists. Only a fourth-grade alchemist could condense real fire in their hands.

The middle-aged man in front of them, who appeared slightly short, was actually a fourth-grade alchemist!

"How about now? Can I go in?"

Su Yun retracted the flame and said calmly.

He had already anticipated this situation and had a solution in mind. Following Xiao Yan's example wasn't difficult, especially since he was now a genuine fourth-grade alchemist.

The guard who had his hand raised in front of Su Yun immediately put it down, showing respect and bending his body slightly, his attitude becoming more enthusiastic.

Su Yun didn't trouble them either.

These two were just doing their duty.

Entering the Alchemist Guild, Su Yun smelled a distinct medicinal fragrance.

He found the person in charge of registering alchemist assessments.

"Sir, are you here to take the alchemist assessment?"

A young woman in a white robe, in charge of registration, asked.

"Yes." Su Yun nodded.

Upon hearing this, the white-robed woman took out a piece of parchment from the counter drawer and handed Su Yun a pen.

"Sir, please fill out the form first."

Su Yun took the parchment and pen and started filling it out. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, and then continued writing.

After finishing, he handed the parchment to the white-robed woman.

The white-robed woman glanced at it briefly.

Name: Han Li

Age: Thirty

Mentor: Wu Huasheng

Wu Huasheng?

The white-robed woman was surprised, what a peculiar name.

But she didn't say anything. She was just a receptionist, and it wasn't her place to ask questions about a name, even if it was an alias.

The white-robed woman led Su Yun to the assessment location.

The door was open, indicating that there was no one currently undergoing assessment inside.

It made sense. In a remote place like Wutan City, the chances of encountering alchemists were slim.

At this moment, an elderly man wearing alchemist robes with a badge on his chest depicting three silver ripples walked over.

Seeing the old man, the white-robed woman showed a respectful expression and spoke softly.

"President."

"Mmm."

The elderly man showed a kind smile and nodded.

"This is the gentleman who wants to take the alchemist assessment."

The white-robed woman gestured to the old man and then left.

The old man looked Su Yun up and down, then smiled and said to Su Yun.

"Let's go in."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun followed.

As he followed behind the old man, Su Yun scanned him.

Name: Luo Qianchen

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Nine-Star Great Fighter

Alchemy: Third-grade Alchemist

Constitution: None

Attributes: Fire, Wood

Techniques: Intermediate Profound Tier "Flame Art"

Combat Skills: Low-level Profound Tier "Fire Cloud Palm"

Items: Low-grade Spatial Ring

Since obtaining the system, Su Yun had developed a habit.

Whenever he encountered someone within the system's scanning range, he would scan them. After all, it didn't consume much and didn't have any drawbacks.

And he could obtain information about others, so why not do it?

"A third-grade alchemist..."

In the original work, in the major cities of the Empire, the presidents of the Alchemist Guild were all fourth-grade alchemists. It just showed how remote Wutan City was.

Su Yun didn't dwell on this and followed Luo Qianchen to the assessment location.

"If there are no problems, let's begin."

Luo Qianchen smiled kindly.

Perhaps because alchemists were scarce in Wutan City, this old man's attitude toward Su Yun was unexpectedly good.

"Alright."

Su Yun smiled back at Luo Qianchen. If someone respects me, I'll respect them in return. Since the old man was kind, he would reciprocate with a smile.

Su Yun stood in front of a stone platform with a piece of parchment and three sets of medicinal herbs on it.

According to the rules of the Alchemist Guild, as long as he could refine the pill listed on the parchment using the three sets of medicinal herbs, he would pass the assessment.

There was no need to elaborate on the process. With his current strength, refining a first-grade pill was as easy as pie.

After some time passed, Su Yun produced a pill in his hand.

Luo Qianchen's eyes flashed with astonishment. Using only one set of medicinal herbs, and the refining technique was extremely skilled!

Su Yun handed the pill to Luo Qianchen.

"Please take a look."

Luo Qianchen only glanced at it briefly.

"Very good, excellent. Even if the old man were to refine it himself, it wouldn't be as good as yours."

Luo Qianchen admired, stroking his beard.

"Young man, you're probably not just aiming for the first-grade alchemist, are you?"

"Correct." Su Yun nodded.

It was easy to see that his alchemy skills were exceptional, far beyond what a first-grade alchemist could possess.

"Then follow me. It's just a first-grade pill, so there's no need for a break."

As Luo Qianchen spoke, he walked ahead.

"No need, thank you."

Su Yun followed behind Luo Qianchen again.

The two of them headed to another location.

"This is it. Let's begin."

Luo Qianchen's eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if he wanted to see more impressive performances.

"This..."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Just tell me."

Luo Qianchen was very considerate towards Su Yun, speaking in a gentle and friendly tone.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yun spoke up.

"President, I wonder if I can directly take the assessment for a fourth-grade alchemist?"

"What!?"

Luo Qianchen's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

Su Yun said these words with his own considerations.

Rather than wasting time on these low-level assessments, it was quicker to directly aim for the fourth-grade.

Moreover, having to sit and recover his energy halfway through the assessments would definitely take until nightfall.

During such a long time, he couldn't help but worry about Little Medical Fairy.

And, he was confident that Luo Qianchen would agree.

Su Yun repeated his previous actions, extending his hand forward, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm.

"Real Fire! Fourth-grade Alchemist!"

Luo Qianchen's heart skipped a beat

. This was a realm he had pursued for twenty years and hadn't achieved yet! And now, such a young person had reached it!?

If Luo Qianchen knew that the middle-aged man in front of him, who appeared to be around thirty, was actually not even eleven years old, he wouldn't know how to react.

"Good, good, good.

Although according to the guild's rules, one must take each grade step by step, since you can already condense real fire, making an exception once is not impossible."

Luo Qianchen's voice was calm, but his trembling hand revealed that his emotions were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
