A sixteen-year-old youth had refined a third-grade pill without condensing a divine orb!
No one would believe such a thing.
Almost everyone in the assessment hall thought so.
However, what puzzled them was that Liu Qiong 'er was supervising from the side, and the examiner was also present. Could it be that the Li family had bribed them?
This should be impossible!
Although Lin Shiyun and the others knew that Liu Wen was friends with the Li family's consecrated master, Ran Rui, this had nothing to do with the Li family. Liu Wen had never interacted with the Li family.
It was only when Ran Rui came over to discuss some alchemy problems with him that he would bring Li Lingyan along. That was why Li Lingyan and Liu Qiong 'er became best friends.
Then it was possible that Liu Wen did not know about this matter at all. Instead, Liu Qiong 'er had done Li Lingyan a favor.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyun looked at Qin Yichen with a hint of jealousy and hatred. At the same time, he also instigated the people around him to join in the commotion.
"President Liu Wen, there must be something fishy about this."
"A brat who hasn't even condensed a divine orb can refine a third-grade pill. What a joke!"
In the face of these denunciations and criticisms, Qin Yichen was fine. He had always been very calm. However, the examiner's face was a little red.
If they suspected, wouldn't that mean that he was playing favoritism?
"Silence!"
Liu Wen spoke. After closing the box, he turned around and coldly glanced at them. After the scene quieted down, he said, "All of you can leave. If you feel that you can't stay in my guild any longer, you can leave at any time!"
These words intimidated everyone. Although some of them were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to stand out.
Who was Liu Wen?
Even the patriarchs of the three great clans had to be polite to him. What were they? If they offended Liu Wen, their respective elders would definitely not let them off easily, even without Liu Wen saying anything.
"Yes …"
Lin Shiyun wanted to say something, but he was pulled away by his companions and left the assessment hall together.
"Congratulations, you have become a qualified alchemist. From now on, you are a member of the alchemist team!"
After these people left, Liu Wen spoke to Qin Yichen with a faint smile.
"Thank you, President, for giving me this opportunity to take the test."
Qin Yichen bowed to him.
"Yes."
Seeing him being so polite and not being proud of his results, Liu Wen nodded her head and said to the old man in charge of registration, "Take him to get a cauldron. I'll help him report his medal to the headquarters."
The Alchemist Medal was the symbol of an Alchemist. Only the Royal City Federation of Trade Unions had the right to issue it.
"Yes!"
The old man nodded and said to Qin Yichen, "Come with me."
"I'll be right back."
After greeting Li Yuanba, Qin Yichen followed the old man out.
"Qiong 'er, how do you feel?"
Only after seeing him leave did Liu Wen turn to Liu Qiong 'er, who was still immersed in shock.
"Grandfather, he …"
Liu Qiong 'er thought for a while, then said bluntly, "Qiong' er thinks that in terms of alchemy and Mental Energy control, he surpasses grandfather."
"As expected, it seems that Old Ran wasn't just talking nonsense."
Liu Wen really did not expect that what Ran Rui said to her was actually true.
No wonder Ran Rui called this young man a master when he mentioned him!
"A genius, a genius!"
After praising him for a while, Liu Wen strode away.
Here, the only person who remained calm was probably the boorish Li Yuanba. It seemed that he was not interested in these things. The only thing that could raise his spirits was probably the Overlord Hammer in Qin Yichen's hands.
…
After Lin Shiyun and the others were chased out by Liu Wen, Lin Shiyun was even more unhappy.
"What kind of joke is this? That brat can refine a third grade pill?!"
"Ridiculous. Who does he think he is? Is he stronger than Master Guye?"
"What the hell are the examiner and president doing? Did the Li family really bribe them?"
Those who were close to Lin Shiyun were discussing one after another.
Although they had their suspicions, this kind of wording was clearly the intention of currying favor with Lin Shiyun.
"Hmph!"
Lin Shiyun's face was ashen as he snorted coldly. His eyes were even more uncertain.
Since Liu Wen, the president, did not express his opinion, then no matter how much trouble they caused, it would be in vain.
"Even if that brat bribed the examiner, he forgot one thing … He can't bribe the Royal City's Federation of Trade Unions!"
Lin Shiyun seemed to have thought of something and said to the man beside him, "Wu Wen, I heard that your uncle is in the Royal City's Alchemist Guild?"
"Yes."
The man named Wu Wen nodded.
"Then it's easy to handle."
Lin Shiyun's brows twitched as he said, "I reckon that President Liu Wen won't report the details of the examination to the Federation of Trade Unions. Although it's rare for a sixteen-year-old to become an Alchemist, it's just a genius … However, if the people from the Federation of Trade Unions find out that not only is this genius only sixteen years old, but he hasn't even condensed a God Pearl and refined a third grade pill in such a short period of time, I wonder what the president of the Federation of Trade Unions would think?"
In the end, he still suspected that Liu Wen had been bribed.
However, after hearing what he said, everyone felt that it was reasonable. Wu Wen even tactfully left in a hurry. It was obvious that he was going to send someone to deliver a letter to his uncle.
"Hmph!"
A sharp glint flashed across Lin Shiyun's eyes as he muttered, "I'd like to see how the Li family and Liu Wen will get off the hook when the Federation of Trade Unions investigates!"
If Liu Wen really covered up for him, then he might not be able to continue being the president.
…
Qin Yichen followed the old man to the Pill Furnace Pavilion in the Alchemist Guild.
There were all sorts of pill furnaces here and their grades were also different.
There were custom made pill furnaces in the Alchemist Guild and there were also pill furnaces donated by many Alchemists who weren't in use. Naturally, there were also pill furnaces left behind by some old seniors of the Alchemist Guild after they passed away.
However, in general, the pill furnaces here weren't of high grades. If one's luck was good enough to pick a human grade pill furnace, then one would probably wake up laughing in one's dreams.
Moreover, if one really became an Alchemist, even if one was from a humble family, one would definitely be treated as a VIP by those large families in the city. Naturally, a good pill furnace wouldn't be lacking.
Hence, there weren't many people who came here to seriously choose a pill furnace.
After Qin Yichen entered, he didn't directly walk towards the pill furnace that he wanted. Instead, he slowly observed it and knocked on it from time to time, as though he was carefully selecting one.
Finally, a pill furnace that was only slightly bigger than his palm appeared in front of him and his eyes instantly flashed with excitement.
