The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 880 - 488: Two Dark Horses
...
The woman was shocked. At the beginning of the examination, she had expected one person to succeed, this young man with the best alchemist as his teacher. Yan Xiaobao and Zhong Xi were two dark horses; she hadn’t expected them to achieve such astonishing results.
"It seems our Alchemy Association has simultaneously gained three three-star alchemists," the woman said with a smile on her face.
"For all those who didn’t succeed, you can come again next month and re-enroll for the second examination. Those who succeeded, follow me," the woman said and left the room. Yan Xiaobao, Zhong Xi, and the third young man followed her as instructed. As they passed through the Alchemy Guild’s main hall, they were filled with a sense of pride.
They were led into another room, where two people were waiting for their arrival.
"Here, you will receive a robe indicating your association with the Alchemy Guild. Wearing it, you will receive discounts around town and evidently enjoy some privileges," she explained as the three of them accepted the robes.
"You will also need to obtain your badge. This badge is important. If you want to receive discounts at the Alchemist Guild, you will need to show your badge. The higher your rank, the cheaper the materials," she said.
After explaining this, the two items were given to Yan Xiaobao, Zhong Xi, and the young man. However, none of them were in a hurry to put on the cloaks. For now, they stored them in their storage treasures.
"I will take some time off; you are welcome to experience many things alchemists do using the Alchemy Guild, buy materials, accept posted tasks, or sell what you make to the guild. Anytime you need anything you are free to come to the guild, and we will help to the best of our ability," she said before leaving the room.
Hui Yue had no interest in selling his paste, as he had decided to send them to the Ma and Rong families, as well as keep the first pill he decided to retain.
Buying herbal medicine at the Alchemist Guild was also useless for him, as he could get cheaper herbal medicine from the Ma family’s Black Market auction house. Thus, he stored his badge in the Cosmic Box and left the room with decisive steps.
"Yan Xiaobao!" someone called to him. When he turned to look, Yan Xiaobao found it was Zhong Xi. "I sincerely thank you. I really wish to do something to express my gratitude. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to find me, I will now be residing at the Black Lion. You can look for me anytime," the young man said before turning and leaving.
Hearing his words, Yan Xiaobao’s pupils contracted, and a shiver ran down his spine. This young man Zhong Xi knew too much about Yan Xiaobao; he even knew he frequently visited the Black Lion. The more he knew about Zhong Xi, the more worried he became.
’Don’t worry too much about him. Just don’t make contact with him anymore, we should avoid dealing with him. I doubt he will come to our mansion to look for you,’ Lan Feng said with a smile. "Let’s head home quickly. It’s time to learn all the formulas we got from the Ma family and the Cosmic Box."
Yan Xiaobao agreed and started to rush home. As he moved, he thought about the alchemist competition. He was interested in joining but was unsure if he should. Being the center of attention wasn’t what he wanted to do right now. What he wanted was peace and quiet for training. He hoped to become a Saint as soon as possible, creating items and medicine pills would be a good way to train. He already had plenty of attacks, so that wasn’t what he needed to focus on right now. He had his beast image, the Nine Great Disasters Thunderstorm, the Ice Cold Storm Sword, not to mention the earthquake. Learning more abilities wouldn’t help him currently, what he needed was raw power; he needed inner energy to grow stronger and stronger.
When he got home, Yan Xiaobao found Huli not waiting in his room, but instead, pacing up and down the hallway, as if she were very impatient.
"Huli, I’m back," he called out, and the cute fox immediately stopped, leaping into his arms. Happiness was evident on her cute face. "Did something good happen?" he asked, and the fox nodded her head. Unfortunately, as the fox was unable to communicate, it was impossible to know what had happened.
"Come on, let’s do some training," he said, his smile freezing slightly as it reminded him that Sha Yun hadn’t returned.
He sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and found a bag filled with storage stones. Placing all these storage stones into the Cosmic Box, Yan Xiaobao entered the Box with his consciousness. He was immediately greeted by the spirit in the white robe.
The spirit was usually arrogant, aloof, and difficult to deal with, but whenever Yan Xiaobao arrived with a large heap of storage stones, the soul would look at them greedily. Offering storage stones made it easier to negotiate with the spirit.
It wasn’t easy to ask the spirit to find something for him, however, asking to search and then offering storage stones in return for a trade was the best choice. The spirit was always willing to expend a little effort to find the items Yan Xiaobao needed.
"What can I do for you today?" the spirit asked curiously when he saw the large pile of storage stones in front of Yan Xiaobao. It was evident he wanted to get them as soon as possible.
"I need all the alchemist formulas left by the old man," Yan Xiaobao said, but the words only made the spirit sneer.
"You want all the recipes, but you brought so few stones? What we can do is trade a stone for a formula. No cheaper than that," the spirit said stubbornly, and Yan Xiaobao was shocked to hear there were so many formulas in the vast space of the Cosmic Box.
