The Battle Through Heaven
Incredible Treatment for Alchemists
Looking at the faces of Frank and Ao Tuo that were filled with astonishment, all the throats of the people in the hall inevitably rolled gently. Looking at the manner of the two, the young man had clearly passed the second level examination.
"What a scary person .." Everyone looked at each other as they sighed softly in their hearts. A tier two alchemist was nineteen years old. This could be considered a new record in the Jia Ma Empire.
"This guy really did it? At nineteen, he had actually reached the Dou Shi level? How is this possible?" Opening his red lips, Lin Fei softly muttered in surprise.
Beside her, Xue Mei also nodded her head slightly. Isn't this guy too horrible?
Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone in the hall, Frank and Ao Tuo also faced each other and smiled bitterly. After observing Xiao Yan purifying the medicinal pill up close, the two of them could not help but feel amazed at the talent in refining the pill that Xiao Yan had shown.
Even though it was the first refinement Xiao Yan used the medicinal formula provided for the test, the overwhelming fire control was not inferior to an actual tier two alchemist. Moreover, as he refined his medicine, he was extremely accurate in purifying the essence of medicinal ingredients. If this was a highly experienced tier two alchemist, Frank and Ao Tuo would not feel too surprised. However, the man in front of them was only nineteen years old …
When they were his age back then, they had only just begun to learn how to distinguish medicinal ingredients under the guidance of their teacher.
"He's really a guy who makes other people feel inferior... Now, I'm getting curious about which grandmaster actually managed to teach such an outstanding student?" Frank laughed bitterly.
"Aah, uh, this youngster's talent for refining medicine might be extraordinary but an outstanding unpolished gem would not be anything great without the careful cutting and polishing of his mysterious Master it must be very greatable. At the very least, if Xiao Yan was taught by the two of us, he would not be able to achieve this effect. " Ao Tuo acknowledged his inferiority.
"But his Purple Fire, it is not ‘Heavenly Fire’. Although it was much stronger compared to a normal flame, it was neither so powerful nor exotic. "said Frank hesitated as he frowned and recalled the way Xiao Yan refined medicine from before.
"Ha ha's. Granted, it doesn't seem like ‘Fire Heavenly’ but it doesn't really matter. There were many strange people and happenings in the Dou Qi continent. There will always be some mysterious things that no one else finds. Although Purple Flame was strong, it was only slightly stronger than the Fire Dou Qi belonging to Alchemists of the same level. It is undoubtedly much weaker when compared to ‘Api Heavenly’. " Ao Tuo said with a smile.
"Yes." Yeah." Nodding, Frank tilted his head, faced the inside of the room and said, "Young man, after you pack your things, you can get out."
Following Frank's voice, Xiao Yan's figure slowly walked out of the room. He gently swept over some of the medicinal powder that had landed on his ordinary clothes before his gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the hall and smiled.
Seeing Xiao Yan look up, all the alchemists in the hall also returned a friendly smile. Although their identity meant that they held top status in Black Rock City and that anyone who saw them during ordinary days would greet them respectfully, the medicinal refining talent displayed by the young man before them caused them to be afraid to underestimate him. After all, this young man would probably become an alchemist grandmaster greater than Frank or Ao Tuo in the future.
When he saw Xiao Yan come out, Frank waved his hand at one of his subordinates. The latter hurriedly walked out of the hall. A moment later, he returned with a jade plate carrying a long, beautifully crafted black robe.
"This is a special outfit for tier two alchemists. Before the material was used to make this long robe, it was first soaked first in the medicinal pond cultivated by the Alchemist Association. So you can't underestimate it. After wearing it, the cloth material soaked in medicinal liquid would come into contact with the air and give off a strange smell. This strange aroma will help the wearer maintain a state of alert at all times. In addition, under its stimulation, a person's skin will become somewhat sensitive. When this happens, it will help the alchemist to have a slightly better control of his fire while refining the medicine. " Frank received the jade plate and proudly announced in detail the effect of the long robe, "At the same time, the robe also had immunity to some poison. Moreover, after being specially crafted by the Alchemist Association, the defense ability of this Alchemist long robe was even stronger than ordinary armor. If it were not for its high cost of manufacture, resulting in the impossibility of making it in bulk, the Empire would have snatched it and used it to equip its soldiers … "
Hearing the introduction by Frank, Xiao Yan was also slightly gobsmacked. He had not expected this extraordinary-looking long robe would have so many coveted abilities.
"It's no wonder so many alchemists joined the Alchemist Association. This kind of treatment actually caught the attention of the person "Xiao Yan received that long robe and swept his eyes. He saw an alchemist badge placed near the chest. On his badge was an ancient medicinal cauldron with two mercury-like ripples on it that kept spinning a little, as if it was something alive.
Sliding his palm over the pitch-black robe, Xiao Yan felt a gentle sensation that was like the soft skin of a woman. That's very beautiful.
"Tsk ck .. an alchemist was undoubtedly the most prestigious occupation in the Dou Qi continent. This long robe would probably cost over a hundred thousand gold coins. " Xiao Yan flipped the black-colored long robe and looked at it very tightly. After which, he took off his rough outer clothes and pulled them all over his body. Instantly, the black robe touched his skin, making him feel fresh and comfortable like he was being dipped into a mist of water. A strange fragrance also quietly entered his nose and his exhausted mind was suddenly much more active.
After a year of hard training, Xiao Yan's figure also gradually grew. Although his face still looked skinny, it had a faint feeling of elegance now that he was wearing a corresponding black long robe. The last bit of tenderness on his face was also perfectly hidden.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had appeared as if he had completely turned into a new person after wearing the long robe of an Alchemist, Frank and Ao Tuo smiled and nodded. Clearly, they were quite happy with Xiao Yan's current image.
Inside the hall, Xue Mei and Lin Fei were staring at Xiao Yan and seeing the change in him and shock flashed across their faces. In their examination, they stopped longer on the smiling face of Xiao Yan for a moment longer without anyone noticing.
Seeing Xiao Yan's complacent attitude, Frank smiled. The influence that an alchemist could create was truly too great. In order to gather those with great abilities for this prestigious job, the Alchemist Association really put in a lot of effort.
"Alright, the examination is over. Everyone, please disperse. "
Frank faced the hall and waved his hand. After which, he turned to Xiao Yan and said with a smile, "Do you have the time? If yes, I would like to talk to you. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded his head as he said, "This is too. Chief, I have a few things that I also need to ask for. I'm hoping you can help. "
"Ha ha's. Xue Mei, Lin Fei, the two of you should follow the others who passed the exam to go and take the tier one alchemist badge and the long robe. We still have some things to do so we cannot accompany you. " After smiling to Xue Mei, Frank exchanged glances with Ao Tuo before the two of them led their way out of the hall.
Watching this obvious inferior treatment, Lin Fei could only nod helplessly. With dissatisfaction, he grimaced on Frank's back and muttered, "Bias!"
"Let's go. Stop complaining. He has the qualifications to make teachers biased. If you are not satisfied, you can immediately go and take the test for a tier two alchemist. " Xue Mei said with a smile as she got up and walked towards the exit of the hall.
"Hmph what's so great?" Lin Fei softly snorted. Her footsteps followed Xue Mei but her voice was clearly lacking in confidence. He was barely enough to take the tier one alchemist test. The second level test was not as if he was not whole when he appeared.
"Xiao Yan, please sit down," In the neat study room, Frank told Xiao Yan with a smile.
Randomly sitting on a chair, Xiao Yan did not beat around the bush as he said, "Grandmaster, if you have any questions, please ask. If the question isn't too distracting, I won't hide anything. " As he said this, cunning flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes; what was too disturbing was determined by him.
"Hehe, the cunning and wary young man." Frank shook his head and laughed. After living for several decades, Frank naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Yan's words.
"Since you have registered with the Association, we naturally need to do some administrative work. Ah regarding the part of your teacher in the registration information earlier seems a bit wrong. In my memories, there doesn't seem to be an Alchemist Grandmaster in the Jia Ma Empire named Yao Lao. " Frank asked with a smile as his hand waved at the information Xiao Yan had registered earlier.
"I'm sorry but before I left, my teacher had told me not to reveal any information about him. However, he had never been registered with the Association. " Xiao Yan extended his hand as he replied.
Hearing this, Frank and Ao Tuo shook their heads helplessly. It seemed that trying to get information about his teacher from the mouth of this child seemed almost impossible.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, we won't make it difficult for you. There were indeed some strong people within the Jia Ma Empire who did not like others to know about them. " Sighing, Ao Tuo pondered for a moment before asking, "Last question. About the purple colored flame You control ... You might also know that your flame is not ‘Heavenly Fire’, right? "
"Haha, it would be nice if it was ..." Shaking his head with a smile, Xiao Yan half said honestly, "That Purple Flame is something I coincidentally obtained from the Amethyst Winged Lion. Don't ask me in detail about how I got it. When I met him in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it spouted flames towards me for no reason. If I didn't have something protecting my life, I might have been burned by it on the spot. After that incident, I realized that there was an additional Purple Flame in my body. "
The Winged Lion of Amethyst?
Hearing this, both Frank and Ao Tuo fell silent for a moment. They then quickly nodded their heads as if they had realized something. "No wonder it was the Purple Flame of the Amethyst Winged Lion. I was just wondering why it had such a vague rough and wild character. You're really lucky to get this thing. Back then there were also quite a number of Alchemists who were planning to hold back the flames. Unfortunately, they all failed in the end. "
"Ugh, forget it. Basically, we do not make you disclose any information. " Frank waved his hand and helplessly said, "Just tell me your problem."
"H ha." Xiao Yan opened his mouth and laughed. He then closed his lips tightly and looked at the two of them closely. He said softly, "I need something. I'm not sure if you grandmasters can help me check if there are other alchemists who have them? "
"What thing?"
