Ling Xiao smiled faintly when he heard the two guards' words.
Although he couldn't use the sacred fire to attack for the time being, he could still use it for alchemy if he just wanted to show it off.
As he extended his palm, a ball of crimson flames suddenly rose up.
The blazing heat made the entrance of the Apothecary Association unbearably hot. The two guards couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"True Samadhi Fire! One of the 12 Divine Fires! How can you control such a flame? Do you have the True Samadhi Fire martial soul? Or have you reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm? Or are you a yellow-grade super apothecary? "
The two guards weren't so surprised for no reason.
Anyone who could control the 12 Divine Fires, or rather, the 12 Sacred Fires, either had the martial soul of such a flame or had reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
Unless he was a yellow-grade super apothecary.
Apothecaries had to be proficient in controlling flames. Only yellow-grade super apothecaries could control the Divine Fire for a short period of time.
The two guards wouldn't have been so surprised if the person in front of them was an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion, or at least a martial artist in his forties or fifties.
Most importantly, Ling Xiao looked like a sixteen-year-old kid. Regardless of which possibility it was, he was a talent that the Apothecary Association valued greatly.
"Gentlemen, there are some things that are better left unknown. However, does what you said just now still count? Can I take the Apothecary Association's assessment now? "
Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't answer their questions. He had only shown the True Samadhi Fire because he wanted to enter the Apothecary Association.
Moreover, there were already many people watching because of the True Samadhi Fire. It was better to enter the association as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"No problem, no problem. Master Apothecary, please enter!"
The attitude of the two guards took a huge turn.
The indifferent attitude from before was completely gone. Instead, it was replaced with a respectful attitude.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.
He had seen a lot of people like this who were arrogant before they became deferential.
"Sister Moon Maiden, let's go!"
Ling Xiao called out to the Moon Maiden, and the two of them stepped into the Apothecary Association.
After walking into the Apothecary Association, the rich medicinal fragrance became even more obvious. Ling Xiao sniffed with his nose and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This was because he could tell from the smell that there were many precious medicinal ingredients.
Medicinal herbs like that were hard to come by.
If he joined the Apothecary Association, he would have a much higher chance of obtaining these items.
The members of the Apothecary Association were all busy with their own duties, so they didn't care who was coming in from the outside.
This was because the guards would never let the troublemakers in.
However, the Moon Lady by Ling Xiao's side was too dazzling, attracting a lot of attention.
The Moon Lady didn't look much older than Ling Xiao. She was in her twenties and looked more like a big sister.
Therefore, many people would probably think that it was the elder sister who sent her younger brother to participate in the pharmacist examination.
"What would you like to order?"
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, a lady in a green dress walked out and asked the two of them with a smile.
"I would like to participate in the pharmacist examination, but since it's my first time in the Apothecary Association, I don't know where to go."
Ling Xiao explained.
The lady in green didn't look down on Ling Xiao at all.
This was because she had worked in the Apothecary Association for many years and had seen many young genius pharmacists who were already low-grade yellow-grade pharmacists at the age of 18 or 19.
For example, Miss Tie Yunshan was only 18 years old this year. It shouldn't be a problem for her to get a pharmacist certificate.
The young man in front of her seemed younger, but she couldn't rule out the possibility that he was even more talented than Tie Yunshan. Therefore, the lady in green was very cautious.
These people might be future masters, so it wouldn't do her any good to offend them.
"The two of you, please follow me."
The lady in green smiled professionally and invited Ling Xiao and the Moon Lady to a table. She said, "Are both of you participating in the examination?"
"No, just me."
Ling Xiao replied.
"Oh, then please tell us your name, age, race, and master. We need to register. If you pass the examination, this information will be recorded in the Apothecary Association's database."
The lady in green said.
"Ling Xiao, 16 years old, human, master — Yuan Venerate."
Although Ling Xiao had a few masters, Yuan Venerates had the greatest influence on him when it came to pharmacists. Therefore, it wasn't wrong to say that he was a Yuan Venerate.
At the mention of Yuan Venerates, he really missed them. He hadn't seen them in a long time, so he wondered how his master was doing.
"16 years old? If you pass the examination this time, I'm afraid you will become the youngest low-grade yellow-grade pharmacist in the history of the Apothecary Association. "
The lady in green said in surprise.
"Why is it only low-grade? Can't it be high-grade or super-grade?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
"You must be joking."
The lady in green thought that Ling Xiao was joking.
Ling Xiao didn't explain further. If he was joking, so be it. However, the lady would know that he wasn't joking when the examination results were out.
After the registration, Ling Xiao was given a number. There was more than one person participating in the examination today, so he had to wait according to the number.
The examination venue of the Apothecary Association wasn't small, so there were already many people inside.
Some of these people were accompanying the examinees, while others were staff members of the Apothecary Association.
Of course, the most important people were the examinees.
The old man called Tie Mu was also present. He was chatting and laughing with another old man. It seemed like they had a pretty good relationship.
The two old men were the president of the Apothecary Association, Lin. He was a typical member of the Blue Eyes Race.
It was said that his cultivation base and grade were comparable to Tie Mu's. He belonged to the Apothecary Association, so even the people of the True Demons Empire didn't dare offend him.
In the line of sight of these onlookers was an isolated area where the examinees would take part in the examination.
At this moment, there were more than ten people waiting there. Among them was the lady called Tie Yunshan.
"Lin, I heard that the Lightning Demon King's daughter, Si Kong Yue, is also taking part in the examination. Where is she?"
Tie Mu suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
Wasn't the Lightning Demon King Sikong Zun?
Then Si Kong Yue was Sikong Zun's daughter.
However, he immediately laughed again.
Si Kong Yue was Si Kong Yue, and Sikong Zun was Sikong Zun. Although they were father and daughter, Ling Xiao had never interacted with this girl. As long as she didn't provoke him, he wouldn't do anything.
