"Of course."
Su Yun's face was indifferent, without any fluctuation.
The guard standing in front of Su Yun discreetly observed his expression.
His expression was calm and composed, clearly confident, not like an ordinary person trying to sneak in and see the world.
However, he wasn't wearing an alchemist's robe, nor did he have an alchemist's badge on his chest, so he wasn't an alchemist.
The guard had a clue.
"Sir, do you have an invitation, or an appointment with an alchemist? Otherwise, you can't enter."
Su Yun feigned impatience, and a fierce flame erupted from his hand.
"Fourth-rank alchemist!"
Both guards' faces flashed with shock.
As guards of the Alchemist Guild, they had some understanding of alchemists. Condensing real fire directly in their hands was something only a fourth-rank alchemist could do.
The slightly short, middle-aged man before them was actually a fourth-rank alchemist!
"Well, can I come in?"
Su Yun said calmly, putting away the flame.
He had anticipated this situation and had a plan in mind. Copying Xiao Yan's methods wouldn't be difficult, since he was now a bona fide fourth-grade alchemist.
The guard's hand, which had been placed in front of Su Yun, dropped immediately. With a respectful expression, he leaned forward, his attitude becoming noticeably more enthusiastic.
Su Yun didn't challenge them.
These two were simply doing their duty.
Entering the Alchemist Guild, Su Yun was struck by the distinct aroma of medicinal herbs.
He approached the person in charge of registering for the Alchemist exam.
"Sir, are you taking the exam?"
a young woman in white asked.
"Yes," Su Yun nodded.
The woman in white pulled a piece of parchment from the counter drawer and a pen from the counter, handing them to Su Yun.
"Sir, please fill out the form first."
Su Yun took the parchment and pen and began to fill it out. Halfway through, he paused, pondered for a moment, and then continued.
After completing his form, he handed the parchment to the woman in white,
who glanced at it briefly.
Name: Han Li
Age: 30
Instructor: Physical Chemistry,
Biology, and Chemistry?
The woman in white was surprised by the strange name.
But she didn't say anything. She was just a receptionist, just a name, even if it was an alias, and it wasn't her place to ask questions.
The woman in white led Su Yun to the examination site.
The gate was open, clearly no one was taking the test.
Come to think of it, the probability of an alchemist appearing in such a remote area as Wutan City was slim.
Just then, an elderly man wearing an alchemist's robe and a badge on his chest, engraved with three silver ripples, approached.
Seeing the elderly man, the woman in white spoke softly and respectfully.
"President."
"Yes,"
the elderly man nodded with a benevolent expression.
"This is the gentleman. He's going to take the alchemist test."
The woman in white gestured to the elderly man and then left.
The elderly man looked Su Yun up and down, then smiled and said to him.
"Come on, let's go in."
Su Yun followed, following
behind the elderly man and scanning him.
Name: Luo Qianchen
, Gender: Male,
Cultivation: Nine-Star Grand Master , Alchemy: Third-Rank
Alchemist,
Constitution: None
, Attributes: Fire, Wood , Skills: Intermediate Xuan-level "Flame Art", Dou Jing: Low-level Xuan-level "Fire Cloud Palm"... Item: Low-level Storage Ring... Ever since acquiring this system, Su Yun had developed a habit of scanning anyone within the system's scanning range. It wasn't like fusion, and there was no cost. He could also obtain information about others, so why not?

"Third-rank alchemist..."
In the original novel, the presidents of the Alchemist Guilds in the major cities of the Jiama Empire were all fourth-rank. It must be said that Wutan City was simply too remote.
Su Yun didn't dwell on this and followed Luo Qianchen to the assessment location.
"If you have no questions, let's begin,"
Luo Qianchen said with a gracious smile.
Perhaps because there were so few alchemists in Wutan City, the old man was unexpectedly kind to Su Yun.
"Okay,"
Su Yun smiled back at Luo Qianchen. If someone shows me respect, I'll show you respect." The old man was gracious, and he greeted him with a smile.
Su Yun stood before a stone platform, upon which lay a piece of parchment and three medicinal herbs.
According to the Alchemist Guild's rules, he would pass the test if he could use these three herbs to refine the elixir on the parchment.
The process was self-explanatory; with his current abilities, refining a first-rank elixir was a piece of cake.
After a while, Su Yun found another elixir in his hand.
Luo Qianchen's eyes flickered with daze. He'd only used a single ingredient, and his refining technique was incredibly skillful!
Su Yun handed the pill to Luo Qianchen.
"Look."
Luo Qianchen simply examined it.
"Very good, very good. Even if I were to refine it myself, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as good as yours."
Luo Qianchen stroked his beard with admiration.
"Little brother, you should be taking more than just the first-grade alchemist exam."
"Not bad," Su Yun nodded.
It was clear his refining skills were flawless, far beyond the capabilities of a first-grade alchemist.
"Then follow me. It's just a first-grade pill. No need to rest,"
Luo Qianchen said as they walked.
"No thanks, old man."
Su Yun followed Luo Qianchen again.
The two walked to another location.
"This is it. Come on."
Luo Qianchen's eyes flickered with anticipation, as if hoping to see more impressive performances.
"This..."
Su Yun's eyes flickered with hesitation.
"What's wrong? If you have any difficulties, talk to the old man."
Luo Qianchen was very considerate of Su Yun and said with a pleasant face.
Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then continued.
"President, I wonder if I can directly pass the exam to become a fourth-grade alchemist?"
"What!?"
Luo Qianchen's eyes widened, almost popping out of his head.
Su Yun had his own considerations when he said this.
Instead of wasting time on these low-level exams, it would be faster to directly take the fourth-grade exam.
Moreover, if he took the exams one level at a time, he would have to meditate to recover his fighting spirit in between, which would definitely take until dark.
He was worried about the Little Medical Immortal for such a long time
. Moreover, he was sure that he could get Luo Qianchen to agree.
Su Yun used the same trick again, extending his hand forward, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm.
"Real fire! Fourth-grade alchemist!"
Luo Qianchen's heart skipped a beat. This was the realm he had been pursuing for twenty years but had not been able to reach, and such a young man had actually achieved it!?
If Luo Qianchen knew that the middle-aged man in front of him, about thirty years old, was not even eleven years old, he would wonder what he would think.
"Okay, okay, okay.
Although according to the guild's rules, you must take the exam one level at a time, but since you can condense real fire,
it's not impossible to make an exception this time."
Luo Qianchen's voice was calm, but his trembling hands made it clear that his mood at the moment was not as simple as he seemed to let on.
