467: Alchemist Guild
"Young Master, is there anything you need?"
A Female Attendant dressed in ancient-style robes walked out to greet him respectfully.
"Beautiful sister, I would like to exchange for some Pill Formula here."
Yang Lingchen smiled slightly and explained his purpose.
"May I ask if you are an Alchemist?"
The Female Attendant asked respectfully, "To exchange for Pill Formula, you must first be an Alchemist. Additionally, you must join our Alchemist Guild; otherwise, we will not sell any Pill Formula."
"I am an Alchemist."
Yang Lingchen frowned and asked, "What are the requirements to join the Alchemist Guild? What do I need to do?"
"Are you really an Alchemist?"
The Female Attendant's eyes showed surprise.
Because Yang Lingchen looked too young, and he did not possess the temperament an Alchemist should have.
"I am indeed an Alchemist," Yang Lingchen nodded.
"Then what level of Medicinal Pill can you refine? It wouldn't be a universe god pill, would it?" the Female Attendant asked.
"I can refine a top-grade tianluo pill," Yang Lingchen said.
"Young Master, you aren't joking, are you?" The Female Attendant's eyes were full of doubt.
Because Yang Lingchen was too young. If he had said he could refine a universe god pill, perhaps some would believe him, but for him to claim he could refine a top-grade tianluo pill, very few people would dare to believe it.
"I can indeed refine a top-grade tianluo pill."
Yang Lingchen paused and said, "I came to the Alchemist Guild this time mainly to purchase a Xuanzun Realm Pill Formula."
"Young Master, if you want to join our Alchemist Guild, please follow me to take the assessment!"
Although she did not believe Yang Lingchen was an Alchemist, the Female Attendant still led him to the Alchemist assessment area.
"Alchemist Liu, this Young Master wants to take the Alchemist assessment."
The Female Attendant bowed to a middle-aged man with an arrogant expression and a gloomy aura.
This arrogant middle-aged man was named Liu Baohua, an examiner for the Alchemist Guild in Great Zhou City, specifically responsible for assessing low-level Alchemists.
"Hmm." Liu Baohua nodded and said arrogantly, "You may leave."
"Yes, Alchemist Liu."
The Female Attendant nodded and left.
"You can perform Alchemy?" Liu Baohua looked at Yang Lingchen arrogantly.
"I can indeed perform Alchemy."
At this moment, Yang Lingchen was speechless. Why did everyone always question whether he was an Alchemist? Was he unworthy of being an Alchemist simply because he was handsome?
"If you can only refine a universe god pill, this seat has no time to waste on you," Liu Baohua said coldly.
"I can refine a tianluo pill."
Yang Lingchen suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, he was under someone else's roof and had to bow his head. If he wanted to obtain the Alchemist Guild's Pill Formula, he had to become a member of the Alchemist Guild.
"Kid, do you know how serious the consequences are for bragging in front of this seat?" Liu Baohua said coldly.
He really did not want to believe that such a young guy could be an Alchemist of the Heavenly Net Realm. He had been performing Alchemy for countless years and could only barely refine a Medium Grade tianluo pill.
"Whether I am bragging or not, you will know if you try."
Yang Lingchen's tone was a bit stiff. After all, being denied time and time again would put anyone in a bad mood.
"Since you are looking for humiliation, this seat will fulfill your wish."
Liu Baohua sneered, "You have the Pill Furnace and the medicinal materials for the tianluo pill, right?"
"Of course I do."
After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he brought out the black cauldron and the medicinal materials.
"Very good. Don't say this seat is deliberately making things difficult for you. If you can really refine a tianluo pill, this seat will personally issue you an Alchemist Guild badge."
Liu Baohua sneered. In his opinion, it was impossible for Yang Lingchen to refine a tianluo pill.
Yang Lingchen did not talk nonsense. He directly activated his Alchemy fire and placed the sorted medicinal materials into the Pill Furnace one by one. Every movement and every detail was precise to the extreme.
"This kid really has some skills."
Watching Yang Lingchen's skilled movements, Liu Baohua thought to himself.
In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had passed.
The Medicinal Pill Yang Lingchen was refining had reached the critical moment.
At this moment, a rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the assessment area, and some Alchemists who had come to participate in the assessment joined the crowd of onlookers.
"Where did this kid come from? He looks so young."
"The kid is indeed young. Judging from the abundant life force on him, he shouldn't be over a hundred years old."
"So young, and his cultivation level has reached the Heavenly Net Realm, and he is an Alchemist. Incredible! This kid's future is absolutely limitless!"
At this moment, the onlookers were whispering among themselves.
Just then, the tianluo pill refined by Yang Lingchen was finally finished. He slowly opened the black cauldron, and suddenly a rich medicinal fragrance rushed toward them.
"Alchemist Liu, please take a look."
Yang Lingchen made a gesture inviting the other party to inspect it.
"top-grade tianluo pill."
Liu Baohua's eyes were filled with shock. He really did not expect that Yang Lingchen had actually refined a tianluo pill, and a top-grade tianluo pill at that.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Liu Baohua shook his head and said incredulously, "How could you refine a top-grade tianluo pill?"
"With so many people watching, could it be fake?"
Yang Lingchen sneered and said disdainfully, "Or do you think that because you cannot refine it yourself, others cannot either?"
At this moment, Yang Lingchen had no intention of saving Face for the other party.
If the Alchemist Guild was full of people like Liu Baohua, then there was no point in joining. As for the Pill Formula, he would find a way to obtain it later.
If he really couldn't get it, he would just spend some time researching the Pill Formula himself. After all, Pill Formulae were also created by people.
Yang Lingchen was very confident in his Alchemy talent. As long as he truly spent time researching, there was no Pill Formula he couldn't figure out; it might just take some time.
After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, Liu Baohua's Face became extremely ugly.
His Alchemy technique was not very brilliant; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent here to be an examiner. Therefore, he was most sensitive about people saying his Alchemy technique was inferior.
"Bastard! You dare to cheat in front of this seat? You simply do not take our Alchemist Guild seriously. Today, this seat must teach you a lesson!"
Liu Baohua's expression darkened. Although his Alchemy technique was only average, his cultivation level was not bad; he had already reached the Xuanzun Realm Second Layer.
"Teach me a lesson?"
Yang Lingchen's eyes revealed a trace of contempt, "You are not good at Alchemy, and you are not qualified to teach me a lesson."
Yang Lingchen did not want to cause trouble, but this Liu Baohua was too much. He was lying through his teeth, insisting on framing him for cheating, and even wanted to teach him a lesson. How could he endure this?
"Is this kid crazy? Daring to talk back to Liu Baohua like that?"
"Yeah! Liu Baohua is notoriously petty. This kid is in big trouble."
At this moment, some Alchemists who had come to participate in the assessment whispered to each other, their eyes full of pity.
"What an arrogant kid. Not only did you cheat in front of this seat, but you even dared to provoke me. Today, this seat must abolish your cultivation level and let you know that there is always someone better, and there is always a sky above the sky."
A flash of murderous intent appeared in Liu Baohua's eyes. At this moment, he had developed an intent to kill.
He could see that the other party was obviously an Alchemy Genius. If he did not stifle him, his future path in the Alchemist Guild would be extremely difficult.
Because Liu Baohua knew that his Alchemy talent had reached its limit. In this life, it would be extremely difficult for him to advance any further. It was not easy to get a position in the Alchemist Guild, and since he had already offended the kid in front of him, he could only take the opportunity to eliminate him.
"Just you? You are not qualified."
Yang Lingchen's eyes were full of contempt, "If the Alchemist Guild is full of people like you who are jealous of talent, I really have no interest in joining."
