The Alchemist Guild is located near the Imperial City. Its guild hall is magnificent and grand, exuding a solemn and majestic aura.

Just from that sense of oppression, ordinary people wouldn't dare to approach it easily.

Looking towards the entrance to the examination hall, everyone entering and exiting held their heads high, exuding arrogance.

To become an alchemist, besides having a talent for alchemy, one also needs to read extensively, study diligently for decades, and delve into research before obtaining a certificate and achieving the glory of standing out from the crowd.

Therefore, there are not many people who can become alchemists, and each one is an extremely noble being, so they naturally feel superior to others.

"Gentlemen, if you wish to purchase medicine, please proceed to the Medicine Sales Hall, where the pharmacist examination is conducted."

Upon seeing Jun Feijue and his group approach, the gatekeeper immediately stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter at will."

"Hello, sir. We are here to participate in the assessment."

Junran smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and slipped a silver coin to Junran, saying, "Please do me this favor."

"you?"

After taking the silver coins, the gatekeeper, though still full of doubt, let me through. "Go in, but remember to go to the counter to complete the formalities first."

Thank you.

Junran thanked them and led everyone inside.

First, go to the front desk to pick up an application form and fill in a simple form indicating your identity and willingness to be assessed.

The receptionist was a woman in her early twenties named Hongyan.

She is pretty and charming, especially her smile, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"May I ask, which grade of pharmacist exam are you taking?"

Although she was surprised by the age of Junran and the others, Hongyan's professionalism was clearly excellent, and she did not show the slightest disrespect.

Hello, miss.

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya climbed onto a chair, opened his big, round eyes, and asked first, "We would like to inquire about the specific funding details for alchemists of different ranks."

"puff…"

Upon hearing this, one of the examinees who was waiting immediately spat out the tea in his mouth.

Like him, the other waiting examinees also turned to look at them with blank expressions.

Although they joined the Alchemist Guild more or less for the financial aid, this was the first time they had ever seen anyone state their purpose so bluntly.

Also, are such young children here to test alchemists?

Are you sure you're not kidding them?

Hongyan probably hadn't encountered this situation before either, and her professional smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

She smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm really sorry, but I can't reveal that."

Could you give me a general idea?

At Chunhu Siqiong's prompting, Ji Fanyai continued his persistent attempt to charm her, saying, "Miss, could you please make an exception?"

"this…"

Looking into Ji Fanya's big, watery eyes, and especially hearing his sweet "little sister" voice, Hongyan's heart melted.

Finally, unable to resist, he leaned forward and whispered, "Which one do you want to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "A third-grade pharmacist."

“For a third-grade item, it’s ten thousand gold coins,” Hongyan said after thinking for a moment.

"So little?"

Ji Fanya frowned, bit his lip, and asked again, "What about the sixth rank?"

"A sixth-rank official can borrow at least 100,000."

Hongyan thought he was just joking and asked without paying attention, "Alright, now tell me, what rank are you planning to take the exam for?"
