"Ah! You bitch, how dare you hit me!" Wang Tao roared, clutching his broken arm. "Get them! Tie those two brats up!"

No one dared to make a move because Wang Tao was a local bully in the western part of the city, and he acted arrogantly because he had a slight connection with the Ouyang family.

No one dared to offend Wang Tao, because if you offended Wang Tao, you basically wouldn't be able to survive in Xicheng.

West City is the outermost area of ​​Dragon Capital. If West City can't accommodate them, then they will have nowhere to go in Dragon Capital.

Wang Tao, accompanied by two mid-stage Spirit King servants, rushed forward to seize Liu Yue.

Another person had already grabbed Lu Xiaoyu's hand.

Lu Xiaoyu tried to dodge, but was slapped to the ground with a bang! The person was sent flying.

It was slammed hard onto the ground.

Jun Liuyue coldly raised her eyes, "Take him away? Are you sure?"

The servants were quickly dealt with by Yin Ming, and Liu Yue spoke lightly.

Meeting her cold gaze, Wang Tao's breath caught in his throat. How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world!

He had been a tyrant in the West City for so many years, and he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

"Woman, you've got guts, but you've offended me, Wang Tao, in Xicheng. I'll make you regret it!" Wang Tao sneered.

Boom! Before he could finish speaking, an invisible gust of wind struck Wang Tao's abdomen.

He managed to regain his footing, but was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the stone ground.

"you…!"

Wang Tao felt fear. "You, you just wait!"

Wang Tao grabbed the defensive artifact, held it in front of him, and ran away as fast as he could.

They quickly disappeared from the bustling square.

"Girl, you've offended Wang Tao, you'd better leave quickly. Wang Tao is vindictive and has the Ouyang family behind him."

A kind-hearted person couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Thank you," Liu Yue said gratefully, not taking the matter to heart.

He's not a complete clown.

"Sister, sister." Lu Xiaoyu lowered her head guiltily, "I...I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this, and I've even hurt you."

She glanced at Lu Xiaoyu lightly, then turned and went back to the group.

Lu Xiaoyu lowered her head even further.

When she entered the city, she caught the eye of Wang Tao. She had finally managed to escape, but she didn't expect Wang Tao to find her so quickly, so she had no choice but to seek refuge.

Seeing that Liu Yue was ignoring her, Lu Xiaoyu lowered her head and shut her mouth.

...

Jun Liuyue entered the testing hall, along with ten others.

The leading elder was pot-bellied, his face piled high with fat, making his eyes appear extremely small.

His sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and he said with a smile, "You need to refine a level three medicinal liquid within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you pass the test, you will receive a yellow-level token."

The tokens representing an alchemist's identity are divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, with Yellow being the lowest rank, mostly belonging to first-grade alchemists.

But obtaining the token is equivalent to crossing the threshold into this profession.

The medicinal liquid is divided into seven levels, but the test is not just about making the medicinal liquid. You also need to select the medicinal materials for making the medicinal liquid from a large number of herbs.

"How am I supposed to choose from so many medicinal herbs? And they're all so mixed up."

Some people couldn't help but complain that the medicinal herbs on the table were a mess, and many of them were tangled together. They knew that each medicinal herb had completely different properties, and if other herbs got mixed in, the finished product might not be effective.

"Otherwise, how could it be considered an assessment?"

Elder Wu chuckled and said, "The Alchemist Association isn't a place you can just join whenever you want! If there were no requirements, wouldn't anyone be able to get elected?"

"However, you can also choose to back down."

Having come all this way, of course no one chose to back down.

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Liu Yue not far away and saw that she had a calm expression.

He casually picked up a few medicinal herbs and went to the alchemy furnace. The herbs were ordinary and could be bought at any pharmacy.

He noticed Jun Liuyue as soon as she came in.

With nimble fingers, she quickly lit up the flames under the stove and methodically tossed the medicinal herbs in.

Elder Wu frowned. It would be a joke if such a casual method could produce an effective medicinal liquid!

"As expected, he's just a pretty face with no substance," Elder Wu sneered.

Meanwhile, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the alchemy furnace, instantly filling the entire testing hall.

The other nine people taking the test all looked in Liuyue's direction. It smelled so good!

"Why do I feel like this place has suddenly become full of spiritual energy?"

"What...what kind of medicine is this?"

Some people even forgot about their own stoves and looked in Jun Liuyue's direction.

They clearly used the same medicinal materials, so why is the medicinal liquid she concocted completely different from theirs?

"That's not right. I saw her choose the herbs and put them in with my own eyes," someone muttered. "Where did things go wrong?"

Jun Liuyue poured out the medicinal liquid and presented it to the disciple who was collecting the medicine.

The disciple was stunned. This aura... it should be more than just a level three medicinal liquid!

He dared not delay and quickly presented the medicine to Elder Wu.

Elder Wu opened the porcelain bottle and was completely shocked. This... even a level seven medicinal liquid doesn't have this level of purity.

It almost maximized the medicinal effects of those herbs.

"Quickly, please come in." Elder Wu closed the porcelain bottle and said, suppressing his excitement.

"Yes." The disciple withdrew.

A short while later, Jun Liuyue walked in.

"Will my medicine pass the test?" Liu Yue raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, absolutely!" Elder Wu smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Your talent is indeed remarkable, but this medicinal liquid... still has some flaws. If someone could provide guidance, you would surely have a bright future."

Elder Wu's gaze swept over the young girl. "I wonder if you would be interested in becoming my disciple?"

“Not interested.” Jun Liuyue rejected Elder Wu directly.

"What did you say?" Elder Wu didn't react for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating. Then he smiled and said, "Young lady, do you think I'm not qualified to give you pointers?"

The tone was already tinged with displeasure; if a normal person heard that, they would have been scared half to death.

After all, the other party is an elder of the Alchemist Association!

“If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do.” Liu Yue shrugged helplessly. “In short, I have no intention of becoming an apprentice.”

"Young lady, don't be so arrogant. It's an honor for you to be accepted as my disciple!" Elder Wu said unhappily.

"What if I don't want this honor?" Liu Yue said in a deep voice, "Does the elders of alchemists have the right to forcibly accept disciples?"
