Doupo: Life Simulator

   Chapter 118 Alchemist Association

   At the intersection of several streets, an extremely large building stands on it, which is shrouded in faint danxiang smoke all year round.

   Above the towering gate, the five ancient and simple characters of the Alchemist Guild flashed with pale silver light, making passers-by who came and went couldn't help but cast their awe-stricken eyes.

   As the headquarters of the alchemists of the Gamma Empire, even the emperor of the imperial family of the empire must be humbled when he comes here.

   After all, the occupants of this building, the energy they can create is enough to shake the entire empire, and they are the most noble professions on the Dou Qi Continent.

Outside the huge gate of the alchemist guild, a pharmacist who is rarely seen on weekdays is walking here and there in a hurry, and the robes of alchemists of different colors on their bodies proudly declare their grade.

   Standing outside the gate, Xiao Ming looked up at the majestic Alchemist Headquarters, and shook his head in admiration.

   This kind of momentum is worthy of the position of the leading alchemist of the Jiama Empire.

   "The old man you were looking for lives here?" Standing beside Xiao Ming, Zi Yan looked up at the Alchemist Association, which was more crowded than before, and asked.

   "Well, as the president of the Alchemist Association, Master Fa Yan is naturally here." Xiao Ming nodded and took out the Alchemist badge from his collection ring.

   As a sixth-grade pharmacist certified by Canaan College, Xiao Ming naturally also has alchemist robes and badges.

   It's just that the alchemist's robe is too ostentatious, and Xiao Ming usually doesn't wear it on his body. Now he enters the alchemist headquarters to find Master Fa Yan, and naturally he wants to show his identity.

  Because of the huge influence of the Dan Pagoda, the style of the robes of the alchemists in the entire Dou Qi Continent may be different, but they are all pretty much the same.

   A few ranks of alchemists will have a few ripples on their badges.

  For example, Xiao Ming is a sixth-grade pharmacist. On the badge he took out now, on the surface of the simple medicine tripod, there are six ripples like mercury, like a living thing, constantly twisting.

   This kind of alchemist badge is difficult to imitate, and even those who have the ability to imitate it will not do it.

   After all, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, and it is very easy to reveal the secret. After being found out, it will offend all the alchemists. No one will do this kind of thing thankfully.

   Pinning the Alchemist badge to his chest, Xiao Ming took Zi Yan to the Alchemist headquarters in front of him.

   Xiao Ming and Zi Yan's actions were ignored by passers-by. After all, there were a lot of people coming and going at the Alchemist headquarters every day, whether they were Alchemists or not.

   The guards who looked at the gate of the Alchemist Headquarters were also used to it, but he still glanced at Xiao Ming's chest due to the professional habit he had developed before.

   This sight gave him a lot of fright, and he saw his eyes widen and he lost his voice.

   "One, two... five, six! Six ripples! Sixth grade alchemist?!"

After shouting   , the guard hurriedly blocked in front of Xiao Ming and stopped the two of them.

   The doorman's shout caught the attention of others.

   Following the guard's voice, they also saw the badge on Xiao Ming's chest.

   Immediately, a series of exclamations sounded.

   "Wow! It's really six ripples!"

   "Sixth Grade Medicine Refining Master?"

   "Such a young sixth-grade pharmacist? This badge can't be fake, right? I don't believe such a young first-grade alchemist!" Someone questioned.

   "But that badge doesn't look fake!" said an alchemist with a ripple badge in the crowd.

   As an alchemist, it is very easy to distinguish the authenticity of the badge from the fake. Although he is low-level, he naturally sees the authenticity of the badge.

   There was more than one alchemist in the onlookers, and they all nodded when they heard the words. This alchemist badge really doesn't look like a fake.

   The guard who stopped Xiao Ming looked at the reactions of the alchemists and suddenly felt a little bad.

When he stopped Xiao Ming, he just thought that the badge was probably fake. After all, Xiao Ming looked too young, but he was only a teenager. How could he be a sixth-grade pharmacist, with a fake badge, he was provoking everyone. Pharmacist, just allow this young man to enter, this young man will be punished without telling him a lesson.

   But now some people say that the alchemist badge is real, what can I do!

   Fortunately, Xiao Ming did not embarrass him, he lifted his right hand, and a real flame was condensed in his hand.

   "Can I go in here?"

   "...Ah, yes! yes!" Looking at the flaming flame, the guard came back to his senses, nodded and bowed quickly, with a pleasing smile on his face.

   Withdrawing the flame, Xiao Ming took Zi Yan into the door.

   Just after Xiao Ming took Zi Yan into the door of the Alchemist Association, the crowd at the door suddenly burst into commotion.

   "Am I right? Summoning real flames is a means only for alchemists of rank four or above!"

   "Fourth Grade Alchemist!"

   "So he is really a sixth-grade alchemist?!"

"Ah, I just remembered. I heard the old Mu of the Mu Family say that there is a master alchemist in the palace who made medicine and caused the vision of heaven and earth. He may be the master Xiao Ming who caused the vision of the palace the day before yesterday!" The old man with three lines in front patted his head and said suddenly.

   "Isn't this Mr. Li, I heard that you are a guest at Mu's house, can you elaborate on the information?"

   "Hey, hey, let's say, this Master Xiao Ming..."

   Xiao Ming doesn't know what the outsiders are talking about, and he doesn't care.

   As soon as he stepped into the door of the refining pharmacist, he smelled a strong scent of Dan Xiang, which made people take a deep breath.

   He looked around in a relaxed and happy mood.

   The area within the Alchemist Guild is extremely wide, roughly divided into three areas: east, west, and west.

   In the east hall, there are many square tables made of blue granite neatly built, and behind those tables sit some alchemists in robes.

   On the table, there are a lot of various medicinal materials, as well as jade bottles, scrolls and so on. From this appearance, it seems to be an area for trading Taobao.

   In the south hall, there are many cauldrons burning vigorously, and some alchemists are controlling the heat with serious expressions behind the cauldron.

   Around them, there were low-level pharmacists, pointing at each other, and whispering about their experience in alchemy.

  The west hall is undoubtedly much quieter than the other two halls.

   In the aisle, there are even guards guarding it. It seems that only certain alchemists who have reached a certain level are qualified to enter.

   Slowly stepped into the hall, Xiao Ming looked around, thought for a moment, did not rush to find Master Fa Yan, but raised his feet and led Zi Yan to the area where Taobao was traded.

   His purpose in coming to the Alchemist Association was not just to find Fa Yi to exchange his experience in alchemy, but more to find something.

   Walking into the eastern area, Xiao Ming walked slowly between the square platforms, looking at these many rare medicinal herbs and other items with curiosity.

  Although it is called the Taobao Trade Zone, the sellers here are not shouting as loudly as those in the market.

   Sitting leisurely on the soft chairs, occasionally glanced at the people standing outside the table.

   If you think that the other party may have some foundation, some pharmacists who sell it will stand up and talk to them.

   But more than that, they still huddled in their chairs lazily and paid little attention to those onlookers. This kind of laid-back and lazy appearance did not look like a businessman selling things.

   Of course, they are not. What they need is not the gold coins coveted by merchants, but barter.

  If you want to get the medicinal herbs or elixir you need from them, then you must come up with the rare treasures that they can see.

   Xiao Ming's badge on his chest attracted the attention of many people, but those people were only surprised and puzzled, and no one dared to come up to disturb him.

Only a small number of people looked at Xiao Ming with understanding and awe. Obviously, they were all well-informed people. They had heard Xiao Ming's name just like the old man surnamed Li outside. Now, they have guessed Xiao Ming's name. identity.

  …

   Ignoring the various gazes around him, Xiao Ming walked along with Zi Yan, and finally found the goal of his trip beside a remote corner.

   There is a somewhat tattered stone platform in this remote corner. Behind the stone platform is a thin man with a rather wretched face.

   Since the medicinal herbs on the table are not too rare, few people come to check them, so his face is slightly bitter.

   And seeing that Xiao Ming, who was walking slowly, was stunned for a moment, and after he glanced at the sixth-rank Alchemist badge on his chest, his eyes showed shock, doubt, awe, and other emotions mixed with eyes.

   When Xiao Ming walked in front of him, he came back to his senses.

   Although there were many doubts in his head, he quickly stood up, looked at Xiao Ming flatteringly, and said.

   "Master, what do you need?"

   glanced at the man in front of him, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Are you still a pharmacist apprentice?"

   Being caught at a glance, the man nodded embarrassedly, looked at Xiao Ming's young face with some envy, and said with a wry smile:

"Yes, my talent for refining medicine is not good, and I don't have a teacher. After practicing for so many years, I still remain at the level of an apprentice refining medicine master. Usually, I can only set up a stall here to collect training resources. Unlike a master , you've reached rank six at this age... um..."

   Looking at the man's words that came to an abrupt end, Xiao Ming smiled and didn't care. He is such a young rank six that many people will indeed feel unreal.

   There will be confusion or other emotions are normal.

   lowered his head and glanced over the stone platform. Those medicinal herbs contained in the jade bottle, which seemed to be withered, were naturally impossible to enter Xiao Ming's magic eye, so they were automatically omitted by him.

   His gaze slowly moved over the various items on the stone platform, and finally stopped on an unremarkable black broken jade piece in the corner.

   This is Xiao Ming's goal this time.

   He casually held it in his hand. The jade piece was not smooth, but covered with tiny particles, as if the material was not very good.

   And on the jade piece, there are still some cracks, and the gaps are still stained with sand.

   After looking at the jade pieces, Xiao Ming did not choose anything else, he looked up at the man who was staring at him, he smiled slowly:

   "I want this item. Do you want to exchange it or sell it? Make a price."

   "Master, I want to change to a third-grade medicine pill." Hearing this, the man was refreshed and said. Xiao Ming's purpose is obvious. If he is a genuine sixth-grade alchemist, this jade piece must be a good thing, but he doesn't know it.

   So he offered this price. Of course, he knew that this price was very high for him, but for a sixth-grade alchemist, it was only a drop in the bucket.

   Xiao Ming had no objection to this price. He put the things in his hand into the Na ring, and took out a bottle of medicinal herbs and threw it at the man, saying:

   "This is the third-grade elixir, which can increase the Dou Master's Dou Qi cultivation base. It is a recipe that I prepared myself in my spare time. Take a look at this elixir."

   hurriedly took the bottle, and the man opened the lid to tell the difference. Although he was only an apprentice alchemist, he could still identify the true and false medicine pills. After a while, the joy on the man's face could not be concealed.

   This is really a third-grade medicine pill!

   The pills that can increase the cultivation base of Dou Qi are much more expensive than other pills of the same level!

   I took a piece of broken jade that I didn’t know what it was, and changed it to this elixir, it was a great luck! Moreover, Xiao Ming said that this medicinal pill was prepared by himself, indicating that his medicinal refining skills were extremely superb, and he must be a genuine medicinal medicinal master. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to Xiao Ming’s back respectfully.

  …

   took Zi Yan to leave the trading Taobao area, and Xiao Ming met Master Faji in the hall.

In the    hall, there were several fourth-grade pharmacists around Fa Yan who were chatting with him in a low voice, as if they were asking for some advice.

   Although many alchemists around didn't surround them, they were still paying attention to Fa Yan and the others.

  Fa Qian, who was talking, noticed Xiao Ming's gaze, and after talking to a few fourth-grade pharmacists around him, he walked towards Xiao Ming under the curious eyes of others.

He also said with a smile as he walked: "Hehe, just now I heard the servant report that I met a young sixth-grade pharmacist, and I rushed out. It seems that I guessed correctly, that person is indeed Master Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming The master came to the Alchemist headquarters, why didn't he send someone to notify me directly?"

   "I'm a little interested in trading Taobao, so I spent time shopping around the East District, thinking that after that, I would visit Master Fa Yan again." Xiao Ming explained with a smile.

  The conversation between Master Fayi and Xiao Ming caught the eyes of many people.

  Many pharmacists who were concentrating on their own work didn't see Xiao Ming's badge just now, but now they were stunned by the sight of it.

   Did you make a mistake, such a young sixth-grade pharmacist? !

  With Fa Yan on the spot, no one questioned the authenticity of Xiao Ming's rank, but Xiao Ming's impact on them was too great, and some people immediately began to doubt their lives.

   Of course, these are the thoughts of some ill-informed people.

   Those who are well informed, because they have heard the news long ago, are acting normally.

   After a few simple words, Fa Yan began to invite Xiao Ming to his office.

   Thanks for the 1000 points that the ruthless heart no longer remembers, the 4600 points that can be obtained by picking stars, and the 100 points reward of 20200125181924447
