Chapter 56: Nalan Su, the well-behaved
Black Rock City is one of the large cities in the Gama Empire. It is extremely popular and the shops along the street sell a wide variety of goods, including jewelry, clothes, and snacks.

I don’t know if it’s because of Xue Mei’s identity or something else, but when the two of them walked on the street, there wasn’t any bloody plot where some blind people would come out to cause trouble. The two of them strolled around very comfortably.

Xue Mei was walking and suddenly stopped.

"You..." Xue Mei frowned slightly, walked around Gu Fengchen, looked him up and down, and said in surprise: "I feel like you seem to have changed?"

"Hmm?" Gu Fengchen touched his chin and said proudly, "Have you become more handsome?"

"No. I think you've become more manly."

"Does it smell like sweat? Or body odor?"

Xue Mei rolled her eyes, "Do you have anything to talk about?..."

"By the way, junior brother, did you say before that you would go to Canaan College after the assessment?" Xue Mei looked at Gu Fengchen with a pair of narrow, icy eyes, which were a little mischievous.

"Well, it seems that the teacher has also told you." Although Gu Fengchen had asked Frank not to tell Xue Mei about his plan to leave, Frank may have thought that such a thing was harmless and told the girl.

"You will come back, right?" Xue Mei's eyes suddenly flushed.

Gu Fengchen looked at Xue Mei, then nodded seriously.

"By the way, Junior Brother, are you going to take the exam to become a third-grade alchemist this time? Doesn't that mean that your strength has reached the level of a great fighting master?" Xue Mei asked curiously.

Gu Fengchen nodded.

There's nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

Moreover, if one wants to successfully refine a third-grade elixir, it would be difficult to do it independently without the strength of a great fighting master.

That kind of explosive power is obviously not enough if it is only at the fighting master level.

If you force the refining, not to mention whether you can control the temperature to extract the medicinal materials, even if you can control it, there is still a possibility that the furnace will explode.

Although shopping is a very tiring and even a bit boring thing, it seems to feel good to have the company of the beautiful senior sister Xue Mei.

In the secret room of the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City.

Frank sat on the recliner, looking at the two disciples opposite him, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and he was very pleased.

While asking Gu Feng about some medicinal materials for refining pills, he reminded Xue Mei not to answer for Gu Feng.

However, Gu Fengchen did not get stuck and answered fluently.

Frank said with satisfaction: "Very good, you have lived up to my expectations."

"The teacher teaches well." Gu Fengchen flattered him, but flattery never wears out.

Frank smiled and said, "Let's go and take the alchemist exam."

As Frank's two disciples, Gu Fengchen and Xue Mei are well-known in the Alchemist Guild.

Everyone greets them warmly when they see them.

There was a faint aroma of medicine in the Alchemist Guild, which came towards you and made people feel relaxed and happy.

Even if you are a little far away, you can still smell the unique aroma of elixir in the air, which is enough to prove the glory of this place!

Above the towering gate, the five ancient characters of the Alchemist Guild written in a flamboyant style were flashing silver light in the sun, attracting awe-inspiring glances from passers-by.

Frank did not follow them. Gu Fengchen and Xue Mei walked through the hall together and came to a registration counter.

There are a few people queuing here and there.

Gu Fengchen looked up and found that the group of people taking the alchemist assessment was very complicated.

The youngest is in his twenties, while the older ones already have gray hair.

But there aren't many of them.

What does this mean?
First of all, very few people have the qualifications to be an alchemist. This is one reason.

Second, this assessment is very difficult.

Many people spend their entire lives trying to pass it.

The assessment method is very simple, which is to refine a third-grade elixir. Of course, the elixir recipe is drawn randomly and cannot be prepared in advance.

Arriving at the information registration desk, Gu Fengchen licked his lips and said to the lady at the front desk: "Gu Feng, age thirteen, mentor, Frank."

After quickly registering their information, Gu Fengchen and Xue Mei walked towards a gate. At this time, a man with shifty eyes approached them.

"Little brother, I just got the warm assessment guidebook. It contains the elixir that the Alchemist Guild may ask you to refine. Five hundred gold coins for one copy."

Looking at the crudely made booklet, Gu Fengchen walked straight forward.

After a while, the footsteps stopped and a heavy iron door appeared in front of them.

In front of the door, four burly men fully armed were guarding it.

On average, these four people have the strength of a fighting master.

When the four of them saw that it was Xue Mei and Gu Fengchen, they bowed slightly and let them go.

The assessment was quick and straightforward, without any formalities.

After Gu Fengchen and Xue Mei encouraged each other, they went into a separate room and began to concentrate on refining the elixir.

Gu Fengchen picked up a piece of parchment on the stone table and took a look at it. It was the third-grade elixir, the Turtle Breath Pill.

This kind of pill can make a person fall into a state of suspended animation for a short period of time, making them look like they are already dead. It is usually used to save one's life after being seriously injured.

This kind of elixir is considered top-grade among the third-grade elixirs.

Gu Fengchen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, took out the medicine cauldron, and began to concentrate on refining it.

On the stone platform, the medicinal materials needed for the Turtle Breath Pill were neatly prepared in three portions. In other words, if anyone used up all three portions of the medicinal materials while refining it, the assessment would be declared a failure.

There are three chances in total.

At this moment, Yunlan Sect.

A beautiful woman in a green skirt frowned as she listened to the report of the great elder Yun Leng.

"Master, there are too many people who want to join our Yunlan Sect this year, and they all have good talents. What do you think we should do?"

Yun Yun frowned as she listened to the noise outside.

The main reason was that there were quite a lot of family members coming this time. The Nalan family, the Xiao family, the Jialie family, and even the Mu family all wanted to send in some outstanding children from their families. Especially after she accepted Nalan Yanran as her personal disciple, many families expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to send their disciples to the Yunlan Sect.

The forces in the Jia Ma Empire are complex and intricate. The Yun Lan Sect is not afraid of these forces, but is also unwilling to offend them.

"Master Yun, this little girl from the Nalan family can be your personal disciple, so why can't the one from my family be your disciple?"

"Old dog Xiao, do you look down on my Yanran? Let me tell you, my Nalan Yanran is just talented, so what!"

"Who are you calling an old dog? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

"Enough!" A cold shout was heard, Yun Yun frowned, a sword intent enveloped the entire Yunlan Sect, and the patriarchs of the major families looked innocent and well-behaved.jpg.

Nalan Yanran's father, Nalan Su, was not so careful about what he said because of his daughter. Although he also had a well-behaved face, the expression on his mouth was quite vivid. He pouted and said, "Sect Master Yun is really petty and not elegant and easy-going at all!"

Quietly.

Yun Yun took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to beat up the old guy. Even so, she was indeed faced with a headache.

The Yunlan Sect only has so many resources, and many of the disciples who have signed up to join the Yunlan Sect this year are indeed very outstanding, and they all have family support behind them. It would be easy to offend people if you choose who to accept and who not to accept.

The Yunlan Sect has stood in the Jiama Empire for so many years. Could it be that they are so domineering and don't care about the human relationships at all?
We definitely didn’t need to care when Yun Potian was defeated, and we didn’t need to care when Yunshan became a Dou Zong. But now, it is definitely not possible, at least we cannot fall out on the surface.

Yun Yun's voice came slowly from inside: "Since everyone wants to have a share, then let's talk based on strength. Ten days later, at the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Jia Ma Royal Family will also send people to the spring hunt. Each of you disciples should find a way to hunt magic beasts. Whoever kills the most magic beasts and the strongest magic beasts will be selected and admitted. Don't worry, I will personally supervise, so don't worry about cheating."

The patriarchs of the major families looked at each other in bewilderment, but they felt that this was a good idea. Since no one was willing to submit to anyone else, they could let the younger generation fight for it.

Black Rock City, Alchemist Guild.

The smile on Frank's face was like a chrysanthemum, and could not be hidden.

He smiled and said, "Our Black Rock City Alchemist Guild should have produced the youngest third-grade alchemist in the history of Douqi Continent. Congratulations..."

"Thank you, Teacher Frank. It's all thanks to your good teaching!" Gu Fengchen bowed respectfully.

If you hadn't given me free materials every day so that I could practice alchemy, I wouldn't be able to endure all this.

Xue Mei on the side had envy in her eyes, but more of it was happiness. She was happy for Gu Feng from the bottom of her heart, and felt that she had a very accurate eye for people!
All the alchemists looked at Gu Fengchen and greeted him hurriedly with a smile.

Although they were at the top of the Black Rock City in terms of their status, their previous arrogance disappeared when faced with such a young genius.
