Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 50 Alchemist Guild

Xiao Yan put on his clothes and left the hotel. On his way out, he also asked the hotel owner about the location of the Alchemist Guild.

Xiao Yan followed the route he had inquired about and walked all the way towards the Alchemist Guild. After turning several corners, he finally found an extremely large building at the intersection of several streets, which was surrounded by a faint elixir fragrance all year round.

Above the towering gate, the five ancient Chinese characters of the Alchemist Guild written in a flamboyant style were shining with a light silver, making them particularly eye-catching.

This is the third largest force in the Gama Empire besides the Yunlan Sect and the Gama Royal Family. However, the Alchemist Guild is different from other forces. The alchemists in it are not keen on power and struggle, but are wholeheartedly studying alchemy technology, so the Alchemist Guild is more like a public organization.

As the headquarters of the Gama Empire's alchemists, even the imperial family had to give it face. After all, the alchemists living in this building could bring great wealth to the empire. The development of the empire and foreign wars could not do without the assistance of these alchemists.

Xiao Yan stood outside the gate, looking up at the majestic Alchemist Headquarters, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is worthy of the position of the leader of the Gama Empire's Alchemists, it is so magnificent!"

As soon as Xiao Yan stepped into the gate of the Alchemist Guild, he smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, which made him feel relaxed and happy.

The Alchemist Guild covers a very large area, roughly divided into three regions: east, west and east.

The hall on the east side is the trading area, where many square tables made of granite are neatly built. Behind those tables sit some alchemists in long robes, and on the tables are many different kinds of medicinal materials, jade bottles, scrolls, etc.

Xiao Yan glanced towards the south and found that there were many cauldrons burning there. Some high-level alchemists were refining medicine there. Around them were low-level alchemists who were learning from their experience.

Compared with the other two halls, the west hall has far fewer people. There are even guards standing in the aisles. It seems that only alchemists who have reached a certain level are qualified to enter.

Although the location for the alchemist assessment has not been discovered, it is most likely in the south, after all, the fires are burning there.

Xiao Yan walked directly to the south of the hall. When he came to the pharmacists who were refining medicine, Xiao Yan followed the low-level pharmacists and apprentice pharmacists to observe the fire control skills of these senior pharmacists. However, after watching for a while, Xiao Yan found that some of these people's skills were not even as good as his, so he immediately lost interest. With Yao Lao, the great pharmacist, around, how could Xiao Yan be so stupid as to learn other people's alchemy skills.

Xiao Yan asked the person next to him about the location of the alchemist examination. The person casually pointed backwards. Xiao Yan followed the direction of his finger and saw a middle-aged man sitting behind a table, spinning his pen in circles out of boredom. Because the profession of alchemist is very rare, the number of people who come to take the examination is naturally very small.

After Xiao Yan thanked him, he turned and walked towards the middle-aged man.

"Go away! This is the place where alchemists are assessed. If you want to play, go somewhere else." The middle-aged man saw that Xiao Yan was dressed simply and didn't even have a basic alchemist apprentice robe, so he thought he was here to play.

"Uh... I'm here to take the first-grade alchemist assessment!" Xiao Yan said helplessly.

"Participating in the first-grade alchemist assessment? Then where is your mentor?" He glanced behind Xiao Yan and asked puzzledly.

"Well, my instructor asked me to take the test myself." Xiao Yan said awkwardly. "That's fine! Since your instructor is not here, a letter of introduction from your instructor will do. Please tell me your identity information first and I will record it down." The middle-aged man picked up a pen and prepared to record Xiao Yan's identity information first.

"Letter of introduction? I don't seem to have one. Can't I take the alchemist assessment without one?" Xiao Yan touched his nose and said embarrassedly.

"What? Not even a letter of introduction! Are you kidding me? Get out of here right now! Fortunately you are a teenager, otherwise the guards would have kicked you out directly." The middle-aged man felt that he was being fooled by the teenager in front of him, and he said angrily.

Hearing the middle-aged man's shout, the apprentices and low-level alchemists who were learning alchemy techniques all looked in the direction of the voice.

"This boy must be crazy about becoming an alchemist!" Seeing that the boy was only about fifteen years old and came alone to take the alchemist exam, everyone thought that the boy was a lunatic.

"This young man must have heard that becoming an alchemist can make him soar to the sky and turn from a wild chicken into a phoenix. After all, becoming an alchemist is the dream of every cultivator, but becoming an alchemist is not that easy."

As we all know, to become an alchemist, you need to meet three conditions. The first is that your soul perception must be strong. Otherwise, you can't even control the temperature of the flame, so how can you make medicine? But among a thousand practitioners, only one can reach the standard of soul perception.

As for the second condition, it was even more difficult. It required that one's own attribute was fire and that the fire attribute was mixed with a little wood attribute. Only the wood attribute could neutralize the violent temperature of the flame. This condition was only met by those with mutated souls, and such people were rare.

As for the third point, you must have a mentor to guide you. After all, if you don't have a mentor to teach you step by step, it will take you decades to study the prescriptions by yourself. The control of the flame, the medicinal properties of each herb, and the control of the heat all require the personal guidance of a mentor.

Seeing that this young man didn't even have a mentor and was so young, they naturally didn't believe that he could become an alchemist. As for what Xiao Yan said about his mentor not coming, they obviously didn't believe it. It's not like he was embarrassed, so why didn't he come? It must be that he didn't have a mentor.

"Then if I can refine a first-grade pill now, then I don't need a mentor or a letter of introduction?" Seeing that the middle-aged man was starting to drive people away, Xiao Yan directly proposed this most direct solution.

“Okay, okay! If you can really refine a pill, even if it’s the lowest level power-accumulating pill, forget about the power-accumulating pill. If you can refine the lowest level healing medicine like the Rejuvenation Powder, I will consider you qualified for the assessment, and I will also apologize to you.” The middle-aged man was so angry that he laughed. Obviously, he didn’t believe that Xiao Yan could refine it.

The other onlookers also shook their heads, thinking that the young man simply did not have this ability.

Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and took out the medicine cauldron from the ring and placed it on the ground, then took out some medicinal materials for refining the power-storing pill.

Seeing the young man take out the medicine cauldron, the middle-aged man's expression finally became a little serious. After all, the medicine cauldron is not cheap! It is not something that ordinary people can afford. Seeing the young man take out three kinds of medicinal herbs, these three kinds of medicinal herbs are exactly the medicinal herbs for refining the power-storing pill, his heart became even more uneasy.

"Could this kid really be able to refine a power-accumulating pill? This is too unbelievable!" At this moment, the middle-aged man's thoughts began to change. At this moment, he really hoped that the young man could refine it directly, because this showed that the young man had a strong talent for refining medicine.
