Chapter 53: Second-Rank Alchemist (Part 1)

Chapter 53 Second-Rank Alchemist (Part 1)

"Two masters, I wonder if I have passed the test?" Xiao Se asked calmly, taking in everyone's astonished looks.

"Passed... passed, of course passed. If you didn't pass, people would say that there was something shady going on in the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild." Hearing this, Falkland was the first to wake up from his shock and said hurriedly, "Congratulations, Xiao Se, from today on, you are a first-class alchemist."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Se with envy and amazement. Being able to become a first-class alchemist at such a young age means he has a bright future.

"Haha, good boy, there are not many alchemists who can refine flawless power-accumulating pills. Even some third-grade alchemists can't do it." Otto concealed the shock on his face, patted Xiao Se's shoulder, and praised with a laugh.

At some point, Lin Fei also stood beside Xiao Se, hugged his arm, and exclaimed: "Xiao Se, you are amazing. You can refine a flawless first-grade elixir at the age of sixteen. This is a record that has never been achieved in Black Rock City in the past hundred years."

Feeling the softness in the girl's arms and the faint body fragrance she exuded, Xiao Se's mouth twitched and he secretly smacked his lips in his heart. What a woman who changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Not long ago, she looked at him with a 'you are a liar' look and pointed fingers at him, but now, she has turned into a little fangirl in the blink of an eye.

Without lingering too much on the softness of the girl's arms, Xiao Se pulled his arm out, bowed to Otto and Falkland, and said, "Two masters, I wonder if I can continue to take the test of the second-grade alchemist."

"."

"."

As soon as Xiao Se finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the hall suddenly became dull.

Lin Fei opened her seductive red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief. Who could have thought that this young man, whom she had never been optimistic about, and even suspected that was a liar, could not only refine a flawless first-grade elixir and easily pass the assessment, but also plan to apply for the second-grade alchemist assessment. What kind of monster did she, Lin Fei, encounter today?

The word monster was not only what Lin Fei thought, but also what everyone present thought. A sixteen-year-old first-grade alchemist was already rare in the Jiama Empire, and a sixteen-year-old second-grade alchemist was hard to find even in the entire northwest continent.

The prerequisite for becoming a second-grade alchemist is to reach the level of a fighting master. Apart from anything else, a sixteen-year-old fighting master is extremely terrifying.

After a while, Otto was the first to react. He looked stunned, but at the same time, he showed a smug smile to Falkland and said, "What do you think Falkland? I mean this little guy will take part in the second-grade alchemist assessment!"

"Indeed." Falkland nodded in amazement, and then said to Xiao Se solemnly: "Do you want to be assessed as a second-grade alchemist? The standard for assessing a second-grade alchemist is not only to refine second-grade pills but also to reach the level of a fighting master."

Xiao Se did not reply but proved it all with his actions. He suddenly stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist. A thin layer of gauze suddenly covered his whole body. Occasionally, purple and green curls rose above the gauze.

"The fighting spirit has turned into gauze, he is indeed a powerful fighting master." Everyone in the hall exclaimed in surprise, and their eyes turned to Xiao Se again. Their previous amazement and envy turned into awe and worship.

"Hoo! Come with me, my friend Xiao Se." Falkland took a deep breath and waved his hand towards Xiao Se. At this moment, he seemed to have anticipated the rise of Xiao Se in the future, which would bring a strong storm to the Jiama Empire and even the entire Douqi Continent.

"Well, then I'll trouble you, Master." Xiao Se bowed and followed Falkland out of the hall.

"Well, even though you didn't pass the test today, you can't be discouraged. Keep working hard and strive to pass the next test to become a true first-class alchemist." Otto also had a look of astonishment on his face. He encouraged the newcomers who didn't pass the test and then followed them.

"Teacher, I'm going too." Lin Fei saw her teacher leaving and immediately trotted after him.

Otto walked at a slightly hurried pace and reminded her, "You can go, but don't make any trouble or make any noise when you get there, or I'll punish you by making you copy the prescription a thousand times."

"I know, I know. Let's go over there quickly." Lin Fei pouted her lips pushed Otto's fat body and walked quickly.

Soon, they arrived at another hall which was more luxurious than the previous one.

"This is the content of your assessment." Falkland pointed to the stone platform in front.

Xiao Se nodded slightly, walked to the stone platform, picked up the prescription on it, and then took a closer look. The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. The pill on this prescription was a second-grade pill, the Bone-Growing Pill, which had a good healing effect.

Xiao Se said that he had already refined a lot of this stuff in the Warcraft Mountains.

"Haha, how about it, Xiao Se, are you ready?" Falkland pinched his beard and said with a smile.

"Anytime." Xiao Se looked at the medicinal materials around him, prepared three batches neatly, and briefly checked the alchemy equipment. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded.

"In that case, let's get started." As he spoke, Falkland waved his hand, and a protective light curtain suddenly enveloped Xiaose and the stone platform, and then he winked at Otto. Otto nodded, and a crystal hourglass appeared in his hand. He placed the sandless section upside down on the table beside him.

Xiao Se nodded slightly. At this point, he had nothing to hide. He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and then his heart moved. A ball of purple-blue flame rose from his palm.

This is a new type of flame that was formed after the Burning Technique devoured the purple fire and merged with the fire of the fifth-level fire-eating dragon beast. Its power is nearly doubled that of the purple fire.

Since we want to get some materials to devour the strange fire from Otto and Falkland, we must come up with enough capital and there is no need to hide our shortcomings.

Boom!!!

Xiao Se extended his hand, and with a muffled sound, a surging purple-blue flame suddenly rose from the medicine cauldron. Under the control of the soul's perception, the purple-blue flame that was originally raging and burning in the medicine cauldron suddenly calmed down and became extremely gentle, without any of the previous violent aura.

Outside the light curtain.

The moment the purple-blue flame rose from Xiao Se's palm, the pupils of Falkland, Otto, and Lin Fei suddenly shrank.

Although they had heard that Xiao Se could condense real fire, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.

"He can condense real fire." Lin Fei exclaimed, her seductive red lips slightly opened, and her eyes looked at Xiao Se's fair and handsome face again, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Is this a strange fire?" Otto was also shocked and exclaimed.

Falkland on the side shook his head and said solemnly: "No, this should not be a strange fire, but a kind of beast fire. Have you forgotten? The little princess of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family also possesses a kind of beast fire, but Xiao Se's beast fire seems to be more powerful than Princess Yao Yue's."

Upon hearing this, Otto suddenly understood and watched Xiao Se's smooth alchemy movements intently.

After a short while, the pill was refined.
