Xuan City, Alchemist Guild.
Xiao Yan, who had just been forced to enter the Alchemist Guild due to the crowd outside, immediately attracted the attention of many people in the guild.
These people's gazes were all different. Some were curious, some were sympathetic, some were disdainful and some were disgusted.
Standing within the Alchemist Association, Xiao Yan's gaze swept all around him. At this moment, the place where Xiao Yan was standing was a courtyard that could not be considered large. The main entrance of the Alchemist Association was still inside. One needed to walk in for a distance of over ten steps.
Turning his head to look at the crowd outside the door, Xiao Yan wanted to go out but after thinking about it, he realized that he could only stay here for a short period of time.
Helplessly shaking his head in his heart, Xiao Yan lifted his feet and walked towards the main entrance of the Alchemist Guild. Since he was already here, he might as well go in and take a look since he was bored.
Just as Xiao Yan was strolling to the front of the main entrance, a human figure suddenly flashed from the side and blocked Xiao Yan's path. Or perhaps, it could be said that the person had blocked his path.
"Kid, this is the Alchemist Guild. It is not a place where someone like you can enter as you wish. Since you have entered this courtyard, we are already kind enough to not chase you out. This is already very benevolent of us. This is not a place where someone like you can enter!"
At this moment, standing in front of Xiao Yan was a middle-aged man. His body looked quite sturdy and the first impression he gave was similarly overbearing. Other than that, from Xiao Yan's investigation, this person was also a tier seven alchemist.
"Haha, it is only the Alchemist Guild. Why can't someone like me enter?"
Xiao Yan smiled indifferently. Since he was already in Xuan City, he did not plan to stir up any trouble. This was not a good thing for him.
When the large man saw that the black-robed young man in front of him was actually so easy to talk to, the mocking expression on his face became even more pronounced.
"This is the Alchemist Guild. Of course, only Alchemists can enter. Just based on what qualifications do you have to enter?!"
From the moment Xiao Yan entered the small courtyard, the large man's gaze had already landed on the latter's body. Under the probing of his Grade 7 alchemist's Spiritual Strength, he was unable to detect an enormous amount of Spiritual Strength within the body of the person in front of him. This also meant that the latter's Spiritual Strength was either too weak or far surpassed his own.
Between the two options, the burly man didn't think that a young lad could have strong Spiritual Power. Therefore, he naturally chose the former option.
"Now, get back!"
The burly man crossed his arms over his chest, and a fierce look appeared on his fierce-looking face. At the same time, he took half a step forward and let out a cold snort. At the same time, an enormous soul pressure pressed down on Xiao Yan in front of him.
But …
In the face of the burly man's powerful soul pressure, Xiao Yan's expression didn't change. Even his body didn't move in the slightest. Even the black robe he was wearing didn't move in the slightest.
The appearance of this scene caused the burly man and the few other Alchemists in the courtyard to be startled in unison. Soon after, an aghast expression surged onto their faces.
"You … What's going on! Get back! "
The burly man's expression froze. In his heart, he never would have thought that the black-robed young man in front of him actually didn't change at all under his soul pressure. Immediately, his thick arm suddenly lifted up, wanting to push Xiao Yan back with a palm.
Seeing the burly man like this, Xiao Yan, who had always had a calm expression, couldn't help but frown slightly. He only wanted to enter the Alchemist Guild to take a look, but this fellow in front of him actually blocked him for no reason. Now, he actually wanted to attack. This was a little too much.
Immediately after, in the next moment, the instant the burly man's palm landed heavily on Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan raised his arm and grabbed the burly man's thick wrist with one hand, causing the latter to be unable to move in an instant.
Immediately, the burly man's expression changed drastically. The instant his wrist was grabbed by the black-robed young man in front of him, an intense pain immediately entered his mind. At the same time, even his entire arm was unable to move.
"Bastard! Get lost! "
His arm was unable to move, but the burly man was unwilling to be captured. His other hand suddenly rotated, and a palm fiercely smashed towards Xiao Yan in front of him.
"Stubborn!"
After coldly spitting out these four words, Xiao Yan's hand that grabbed the other party's wrist gently twisted. Immediately, the burly man's entire body turned around, and the attack on his hand was also forced to withdraw.
"Brat, this is the Alchemist Association. If you dare to hurt me, the Alchemist Association will definitely … Ah!"
Even though he had already lost his ability to attack, the burly man was still filled with unwillingness. Before his angry shout could leave his mouth, Xiao Yan used even more strength to grab his wrist. Not long after, a painful cry rang out in the courtyard.
"In the end, you are only a tier seven alchemist. Do you really think that there are no other alchemists in this world other than you? Even if I do anything to you today, do you really think that the Alchemist Association will find trouble for a tier seven alchemist like you?"
After coldly saying these words, Xiao Yan used some strength and directly pulled the burly man's body to one side. At the same time, his feet moved, and he stepped into the Alchemist Association in front of him.
After seeing Xiao Yan enter the Alchemist Association, the faces of the crowd in the small courtyard could not help but reveal resentful expressions. Even though the burly man was dissatisfied in his heart, from the attack of the black-robed young man just now, it was obvious that he was no match for him. If he continued to be stubborn, he would not be so lucky next time.
Just like what Xiao Yan said just now, he was only a tier seven alchemist. His words just now were only used to intimidate Xiao Yan. Naturally, the Alchemist Association would not go through so much trouble for a tier seven alchemist like him. Otherwise, as an alchemist, how could he be willing to stand in the courtyard of the Alchemist Association? The reason was because he did not have the qualifications and was not allowed to enter the Alchemist Association …
The reason why he attacked Xiao Yan just now was because he wanted to take the opportunity to vent his anger. Unfortunately, he found the wrong person.
While the burly man resentfully withdrew, Xiao Yan also stepped into the Alchemist Association in front of him.
The instant Xiao Yan stepped into the interior of the Alchemist Association, a rich and familiar medicinal fragrance immediately pounced on Xiao Yan. The rich fragrance caused Xiao Yan to feel a little suffocated. Soon after, Xiao Yan frowned and looked towards the interior of the Alchemist Association.
The first thing that entered his eyes was an enormous black medicinal cauldron in the Alchemist Association's hall. The medicinal cauldron was extremely tall. Its top reached the dome and its bottom reached the foundation. It was just like a small mountain that stood in the middle of the Alchemist Association.
This medicinal cauldron was the pillar of the Alchemist Association. If this medicinal cauldron collapsed, it was likely that the entire Alchemist Association in front of Xiao Yan would be burned to ashes.
It was likely that this medicinal cauldron represented the Pill Tower. The Pill Tower was the place where all the alchemists on the continent gathered. If the Pill Tower collapsed, the world of alchemists would definitely be greatly shaken. The Pill Tower was the pillar in the hearts of all the alchemists.
Xiao Yan quietly sighed in his heart as he looked at the enormous black medicinal cauldron in front of him. Soon after, he did not stay any longer. His feet moved and he walked towards the interior of the Alchemist Association.
As he walked within the interior of the Alchemist Association, there would occasionally be people who walked past Xiao Yan. When these people looked at Xiao Yan, a surprised expression involuntarily flashed across their eyes. In Xiao Yan's eyes, these people who walked past him were all wearing alchemist robes without exception. The lowest ranked alchemist amongst them had already reached the level of a tier eight alchemist grandmaster. Of course, a tier eight alchemist grandmaster in the eyes of an ordinary person was nothing special in the eyes of the current Xiao Yan.
Walking within the interior of the association, which could be considered spacious, Xiao Yan would see some display windows displaying various kinds of precious medicinal ingredients every once in a while. However, these medicinal ingredients, which could be considered extremely valuable in the eyes of an ordinary person, appeared ordinary in the eyes of the current Xiao Yan. They did not attract the slightest bit of his interest.
This did not mean that these medicinal ingredients were worthless. However, following the growth of Xiao Yan's strength, Xiao Yan's horizons regarding various things had also increased. He had seen far too many of the so called precious medicinal ingredients in his eyes.
As the saying goes, when one climbed high and looked into the distance, what one could see was merely the tip of the iceberg. Only by continuously climbing higher and higher would one be able to see even further places. Even though the nearby scenery was beautiful, there would come a day when one would grow tired of looking at it. However, if one was able to continuously push aside the clouds, one would be able to see an even more vast and majestic scenery.
Even though the current Xiao Yan was still standing halfway up the mountain, what he was able to see was a scene that many people would not be able to imagine. Of course, Xiao Yan would not be captivated by this. The scenery along the way had long become a fleeting cloud in the eyes of others. What Xiao Yan wanted to pursue was the pinnacle that others had never seen before!
Xiao Yan carelessly passed by each exquisite display case that was filled with medicinal ingredients. Gradually, the number of people walking by Xiao Yan's side also increased. At this moment, Xiao Yan finally realized that it was not that there was no one in this seemingly empty Alchemist Association. It was just that they did not gather in other places.
As the number of alchemists around him gradually increased, Xiao Yan could feel that the air was filled with a scorching hot aura. At the same time, waves of faint pill fragrance also spread out.
"From the looks of it, there seems to be someone refining pills."
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. The Alchemist Association was indeed worthy of being a place where alchemists gathered. Just from the pill fragrance just now, even though the grade of the medicinal pill being refined was not very high, it could still be considered not bad.
A moment later, when Xiao Yan passed through the surrounding crowd and arrived at the front of the crowd with some difficulty, he discovered that the place he was currently in was actually a huge Alchemy Room. It was no wonder that there was such a scorching aura and pill fragrance.
Looking towards the place where the pill fragrance came from, Xiao Yan saw a medicinal cauldron that was completely golden in color. At this moment, within this medicinal cauldron, a blazing flame was wrapping around a perfectly round medicinal pill. Waves of dense medicinal fragrance spread out from within, including the medicinal fragrance that Xiao Yan had detected earlier. It was also emitted from this place.
After which, when Xiao Yan raised his eyes and looked over, the expression in his eyes could not help but be slightly stunned. At this moment, he saw that the person sitting cross-legged in front of the golden medicinal cauldron was a beautiful young lady whose entire body was wrapped in a tight red dress.
The young lady's fiery red hair was at the same level as her shoulders. Her pretty face was smooth and delicate. Drops of tiny perspiration continuously appeared on the young lady's forehead. Her originally pink pretty face was also slightly pale at this moment. Very clearly, in order to refine this medicinal pill within the medicinal cauldron, the young lady had expended quite a bit of energy.
"A tier nine medicinal pill huh …"
In front of the crowd, Xiao Yan glanced at the medicinal pill within the medicinal cauldron in front of the young lady. Immediately, his gaze turned towards the young lady and he could not help but nod his head slightly. The young lady in front of him did not look very old, but her alchemy skills were quite exquisite. It was likely that there was an experienced alchemist guiding her behind.
"Tsk tsk … Miss Xu's alchemy skills have improved quite a bit! From the looks of it, this tier nine medicinal pill should be completed soon! "
"That's right, who says it isn't? A tier nine alchemist who is not even thirty years old. This kind of frightening alchemy talent, even in the entire continent, there are very few people who can compare with Miss Xu!"
Around Xiao Yan, the surrounding crowd's gazes were also staring at the young lady in red dress in the arena. Everyone's eyes revealed an amazed expression, especially when they looked at the medicinal pill that was about to be completed in the medicinal cauldron. Their eyes could not help but reveal an envious expression.
In comparison, even though the people present were all alchemists, there were very few of them who could truly refine a tier nine medicinal pill. Who was like this young lady in front of them, whose alchemy skills had actually already reached such a shocking level at such a young age?
Hearing the exclamations from the surrounding crowd, Xiao Yan found out the surname of the young lady in front of him. The young lady's surname seemed to be Xu, and from their words, Xiao Yan also found out that her name was a single word, Yao, Xu Yao.
"Xu Yao huh …"
Xiao Yan silently repeated this young lady's name in his heart. Immediately after, the instant he raised his eyes and looked over, the round medicinal pill in the medicinal cauldron in front of the young lady in red dress in the arena finally showed some changes.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
As a buzzing sound was emitted from the medicinal cauldron, everyone in the arena hurriedly turned their gazes over. They saw that within the medicinal cauldron, the medicinal pill that was being refined by the raging flames a moment ago, was emitting a vast and powerful aura at this moment, causing the expressions of everyone in the arena to change one after another.
"The medicinal pill is completed!"
At the same time that the exclamations sounded from the mouths of everyone present, the medicinal pill within the golden medicinal cauldron began to tremble violently. Immediately, an extremely powerful energy swept out from within the medicinal pill. From the looks of its might, it seemed as though it wanted to forcefully shatter the medicinal cauldron.
"Humph! How can this young lady allow you to be so presumptuous! Keep it for me! "
The pretty nose of the red-dressed young lady immediately emitted a cold snort when she saw this scene. Immediately, a thought passed through her heart and an even stronger Dou Qi spluttered out from the palm of the young lady's extended hand. It swiftly entered the medicinal cauldron and swiftly retrieved the medicinal pill that was emitting a vast and mighty aura within a short period of time.
All of the young lady's actions appeared to be like moving clouds and flowing water. There was not the slightest mistake. Everyone present involuntarily emitted an exclamation when they saw this. However, the thing that was different from everyone was that Xiao Yan, who was standing in front of everyone at this moment, involuntarily frowned. He did not expect that this young lady would actually retrieve the pill at such a time.
"Ugh … what a pity …"
Xiao Yan, who was standing in front of everyone, shook his head with some regret. He slowly turned around and prepared to leave this place in front of the numerous stunned gazes of the surrounding people.
However, just as Xiao Yan turned around, the young lady in red dress, who had just held the medicinal pill in her hand and did not have the time to display it to everyone present, suddenly locked her gaze onto Xiao Yan's body.
"What do you mean by a pity?"
