143 Alchemist Tes
Alex pondered for a moment. At least, he got information from Kenshin\'s Father. He still hasn\'t trusted him just yet. Even if Takata tried to attack him, He still can escape. There is still one teleportation array plate in his inventory. He can escape with that. If needed, he can summon Leoz or Anna. If he pursued Leoz, Alex had the chance to run away before he recalls Leoz. He still has three exp cards to use to add more strength to them. What a good plan.
After chatting for a while, since Takata wanted to provide him with medicinal herbs from his own pocket as thanks for his son, then he will take advantage of it, he told that he wanted to practice 1st Rank High-Grade Healing Pill and Body Refining Powder. He only wanted to make rank 1 pills, even though he can make 2nd rank High-Grade Pill, he made Takata think that he only had a 1st High-Rank Alchemist, of course, he will take a 2nd High-Rank Alchemist test, this is to protect himself later on. Takata finally left the room.
Alex can\'t help but said, "Why am I suddenly in the Early story of Cultivation Novel? Useless Young Master, Caring parents, Arrogant and Lustful Rival, Gold-digger fiancée, the difference was now it was in Japanese Name, and the young master wasn\'t really that useless. This is another world…sounds fair."
The next day, Alex has another spar with Kenshin in the morning. He seems to be swinging his sword all night. Kenshin\'s movement become more precise than yesterday. Even Alex thought that he awakes a genius. Kenshin\'s Father also came to him, he brought the ingredients for those two pills with him. There are fifty set ingredients for each pill.
He looked at the ingredients. Although he can make 2nd Rank High-Grade Pill before he ascended. It wasn\'t a real pill, he made those pill in the Illusion Array. He had a thought of this, of course, this kind of thing can\'t be done normally even for an array master. But because he had Alchemy knowledge from his manual and his understanding in Illusion Array, he made a simulation room inside the illusion array to practice his alchemy. If he really tested on those guilds, he can be a 2nd Rank Alchemist and 2nd Array Master. But, he plans to reveal only his Alchemist title for now. He didn\'t have any plan to get his Array Master identity.
He took out a set of ingredients. Even though he already proficient in making these pills, A real practice is really different. He used this practice to adjust his state to make a real pill. Even he successfully made a perfect pill in the \'Simulation Room\'. It was different in real life, he needs to consider his environment too. He took out his Fire Cloud Cauldron, the SR rank cauldron. He put the ingredients inside. He is planning to refine all the ingredients simultaneously.
Dim Bay Leaf, Belladona Herb, Bindweed, Liam Grass, and Foundation stage monster core, these are the five ingredients that were needed to make 1st Rank Healing Pill. The flame started gushing out of his body, the red-colored flame lift Dim Bay Leaf, Belladona Herb, and Bindweed together. Back then, he can only refine the medicinal ingredients one by one, and now he can refine three of them simultaneously.? The three ingredients starting to melt. The Dim Bay Leaf was melted into blue-colored liquid, Belladona Herb was the same, as for the Bindweed, Alex burned it into powder.
After refining it, the next step is to separate the impurities. This wasn\'t a problem for Alex. Gray vapor started coming out from the three medicinal ingredients, Alex let it out until it has nothing left. After that, he used his fire to keep them in the refined state as he waved his hand and the last two ingredients flew to his hand. He refined them with the same process, but this time, Liam Grass was finished first. Since he needs to use the monster core to harmonize the energy, of course, he deliberately slowed the refining process down. When the core refined, he immediately put all the ingredients inside his cauldron. The energy within the core gradually assimilated with the rest of the ingredients. After about two minutes, all of the ingredients started to merge. When the pill formed, he felt that it was too big so he split it into two. The pill slowly hardened. There is one thing that he felt from this new cauldron, he felt this cauldron using his flame to accelerate the assimilating and merging process. Within less than ten minutes, Alex finished refining 1st Rank High-Grade Healing Pill.
He looked at two blue pills and inspected it. This is a perfect quality pill without any impurities within it, so he satisfied. Without rest, He continued to refine the pills. He refined all of the Healing Pill ingredients resulting in him making a hundred 1st Rank Healing Pills. He didn\'t fail a single time. No, with his current prowess, if he failed, others might laugh at him. On the second day, he refined all body refining powder medicinal ingredients.
The next day, two more days before the tournament. Alex went to the Alchemist Guild. He is planning to register today, he didn\'t go tomorrow to adjust his mind for the tournament. He walked to the counter, a young girl with short brown hair asked him politely,
"How can I help you?"
"I wanted to take register as an Alchemist"
"Yes, we can help you with that. Which rank are you going to take, sir?"
"High 2nd Rank."
The receptionist suddenly frowned, She is considered a beauty in this town and many trying to impress her. High 2nd Rank Alchemist…There are only a three High 2nd Rank Alchemist and one Low 3rd Rank Alchemist in this rural town but all of them were old men. But this young man in front of her saying that he wanted to take a test for High 2nd Rank Alchemist. She immediately felt disgusted, this young man is trying to impress her with a fake power.
Alex frowned, he saw the disgusted expression in the receptionist face, Though this girl in front of him is a beauty. But she wasn\'t a rare beauty. Alex\'s face darkened, he thought inwardly, \'Don\'t tell me another Receptionist trope that was thinking I only wanted to grab her attention with this? Don\'t overestimate yourself, girl!\'
"If you are trying to impress me, It\'s better for you to return, rather than embarrass yourself in here."
Alex sighed but soon his eyes brightened when he saw an older man coming toward them, he thought that this old man must be more reasonable than this narcissist girl.
"What happen?"
"Nothing, Sir. This is only one of my admirers wanting to impress me. I will chase him out immediately."
The old man nodded. Alex\'s face darkened. He screams inwardly, \'Oi Old man, you are also unreasonable, it was wrong for me to put my hope on you\'
Just when he wanted to scold him, Another young girl appeared. The young girl with pink hair tied in a ponytail to her back, Her appearance seems to be the same age as him. Modest curves, she seems to be a carefree and willful young girl. She is a rare beauty, her beauty far overshadowed the receptionist beauty, she is one level below the elven queen.
"What happened here?"
"Ah, Young Miss. I will take care of him immediately. He is just one of her admirers" The old man said while pointing at Alex.
"Oh, and what he wanted to do?" Asked the Young Miss innocently.
"He…he said he wanted to take the High 2nd Rank Alchemist test."
The Young Miss has a shock expression in her face. Suddenly, she grinned. "Then, since he wanted to take the High 2nd Rank Alchemist test, then let him do so."
Alex knows from her sly grin, This girl is planning to embarrass him. She thought that he won\'t have the fund to take the test. But it still convenient for him, he was too lazy to explain to this narcissist receptionist.
"How much for the test?" Alex asked without any expression.
"200 Spirit Stones for the test. We will provide you with the ingredients and the pills are yours if you succeed. You can choose to sell them to the guild after the test. That if you wanted to take the test" The Receptionist made a mocking smile on her face. She thought that he didn\'t have the money to do so and planning to embarrass him.
Alex opened the Spirit Stones Box that he got from the gacha. Luckily, the box contained 500 Spirit Stones, he didn\'t need to pawn off his SR Bow to raise a fund. He took 200 Spirit Stones from Gacha Inventory like taking them out from the Space Ring.
"I will take the test" Alex said with a poker face. But inside, he screamed excitedly, \'Shut up and take my money\'
The female receptionist was shocked, not only her, but the old man beside her also shocked by the Spirit Stones. He didn\'t think that a young man suddenly took out 200 Spirit Stones, it was equal to three years of revenue for Five Big Families. Even the young girl that coming later was also shocked. She followed her grandfather to recruit some disciples in this town after the tournament. It would be better if they had any skill in Alchemy or Forging. Her grandfather is an Elder in Mount Hua Sect, also one of the 10 5th Rank Alchemist in the continent. She is too, already reached Mid 1st Rank at the age of 20 and her grandfather said that she is rarely genius, at least she can reach the same rank as her grandfather if not better. But the young man from a rural town in front of her said that he was better than her? She can\'t believe it.
The old man looked at the young miss first. The girl harrumphed, "Fine. What are you going to make?"
"Fire Spirit Pill and Body Refinement Pill" Alex said.
"Hmph, Prepare the medicinal ingredients. I want to see how you are going to fail."
"Yes. I will prepare it right away. You need to make those pills in front of three High 2nd Rank Alchemist from our guild. Fortunately, they are currently in the guild."
Alex nodded.
"Then, please wait for a while"
\'Is he really an alchemist?\' The female Receptionist now trembled while looking at Alex. He seems very confident about it. Did I offend an alchemist?
Just when Alex about to wait, another old man appeared. "Hoho, an Interesting event."
All of them looked at the Old Man.
"Greeting Senior" The receptionist immediately recognized him. While the Young Girl quickly leaped toward the old man, "Grandfather!"
Alex didn\'t know who is he, what he is thinking right now is, \'What the heck with this situation? Is something big going to happen?\'
"Young man, are you really going to take the High 2nd Rank Alchemist test?"
Alex nodded.
"That\'s right Grandfather. He is just overestimating himself"
"Hoho, Then I\'m going to watch too"
Alex frowned, is he one of the masters that going to watch him? But from the look of it, it wasn\'t like that. Then, who is he? Alex thought.
Noticing Alex\'s confusion, The old man laughed, "Haha… I\'m Su Hua. This is my granddaughter, Su Yue."
"Greetings Senior." Alex greeted him politely.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Alexander Sirius"
"Oh, a name that you didn\'t find often in this town. The same applies to me though. Hoho" Su Hua said jokingly.
Alex looked at the old man, He seems a very high-level people, but there is no trace of strictness in his face. Instead, he is very carefree. And this is the first \'Chinese\' that he had met in this upper world. He can\'t wait to see who is next...
"Grandfather! He is just a scammer" Su Yue suddenly spoke.
"Granddaughter, you need to respect others. No one can tell that he is a scammer before the result proves itself. It is also the same as a cultivator, no one can tell that he will lose because of a weaker cultivation stage unless his head flying. You shouldn\'t underestimate people even if they are only an ordinary citizen." Su Hua said while patting Su Yue\'s head.
Alex looked at the old man, astonished. The old man who was preparing for his test has come back. Maybe, because of Su Hua, he seems very rushed. "Elder, the preparations have finished. He can take the test right now."
"Umu" Su Hua nodded. The old man guide Su Hua to the room. Like he was the one who will take the test, not Alex. Alex still followed them, though.
