A scream pierced the sky, waking up everyone who was still sleeping.
Boss Xu opened his eagle-like sharp eyes and rushed out of the room. He saw a polar bear pressing Huang Ziyao under it, with its sharp teeth bared, about to bite Huang Ziyao's head.
"You evil beast, die." Boss Xu held a huge hammer and smashed it towards the white bear.
"roar!"
The white bear jumped up suddenly, dodged the sledgehammer, then broke through the wooden wall in the room and escaped from the camp.
At this moment, Lu Jingzhi's room collapsed into ruins.
"Third brother."
Nan Ye and the others who arrived later saw Huang Ziyao lying on the ground covered in blood, not knowing whether he was dead or alive...
Leizhou City, Alchemy Association——
Lu Jingzhi came to the Alchemy Association alone under the identity of Feng Hao.
"Brother Feng Hao, where have you been these days?" The receptionist, wearing a white and purple dress with long hair draped over her shoulders, asked with a smile on her face.
Lu Jingzhi said without thinking, "I went back to Feng's house and now I'm back to buy some things."
The receptionist took his hand and sat down on the chair behind the counter, and the two of them talked face to face.
"Brother Feng Hao, aren't you tired of running back and forth?"
"I'm not tired, it's just a good opportunity to exercise on the road."
Hearing this, the receptionist chuckled, her single-lidded eyes narrowed, "You really love to joke around. What herbs do you want to buy this time?"
"I want to buy the Transfiguration Grass, the Hundred-Year Spirit Vine, the Roots of the Magic Tree..." He listed all the pills he remembered to the receptionist one by one.
But the receptionist looked him up and down with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, but when did Brother Feng Hao become a second-grade alchemist?"
"Of course I achieved a breakthrough when I was at the Feng family. My master taught me how to refine second-grade elixirs at my home."
Seeing Lu Jingzhi's calm demeanor, she nodded in sudden realization, took the list, and walked towards the Alchemy Association's medicine warehouse.
Seeing that she believed him, Lu Jingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, there was a burst of noise, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, without makeup, came down the stairs surrounded by a crowd.
"Miss Qianqian has become a second-grade alchemist today. She is truly gifted and a true gem."
"Yes, you have achieved so much at such a young age. In Leizhou City, apart from the little demon girl, you are the most amazing."
Lu Jingzhi watched Tang Qianqian being chased and flattered by a group of old men, and shook his head in shame. [Sure enough, flattery is needed everywhere to please others.]
Thinking of this, he looked away and continued to wait for the receptionist to come back with the herbs.
"Hey, Feng Hao, I'm now a second-grade alchemist, you're a waste."
Seeing Tang Qianqian coming down the stairs and calling him, Lu Jingzhi was not angry at all. Instead, he spoke with a smile in his eyes.
"You're right. I, Feng Hao, am a useless piece of crap. How can I compare with the young lady?"
Seeing that the person who usually fought with him called himself a waste today, he thought that he was impressed by his second-grade alchemy master, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Humph, you're giving in so quickly. Do you want to have a competition?"
"Why would Miss compare herself to a shameless loser like me? I, Feng Hao, am not worthy enough, not even to carry your shoes."
Seeing him like this, everyone was filled with contempt. If this person thought he was useless, then he would truly be a useless piece of shit.
"Okay, in that case, I will let you go, you piece of trash." After she finished speaking, she raised her proud chin and walked out of the Alchemy Association.
"Is it cool to use someone else's identity?"
"Great, Master, this human skin mask is really useful."
Yan An said, "This mask is a treasure I accidentally found some time ago. The method of refining the mask has long been lost on the mainland."
"Really? But it's better if it's lost. If it gets out, the continent will be in chaos."
"Brother Feng Hao, who are you talking to?" The receptionist holding rare treasures asked in confusion when she saw Lu Jingzhi talking alone.
"Uh... I was just mumbling to myself, have I got all the herbs?"
The receptionist nodded slightly and placed the herbs in his hands. "Brother Feng Hao, take them all. You can check them."
Lu Jingzhi took a quick look and found that nothing was missing, so he put the herbs in his pocket.
"How many spirit stones are there in total?"
"Fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Lu Jingzhi secretly clicked his tongue. The medicinal materials for one set of transformation pills and three sets of healing pills were enough to make up for twenty sets of healing pills.
He paid the 1,500 low- and medium-grade spirit stones with great pain, and there were only a few spirit stones left on him.
Lu Jingzhi walked out of the Alchemy Association and looked at the few remaining spirit stones in his ring. He sighed, "Ah, this alchemy profession is really a waste of money."
Yan An floated out from inside and walked side by side with him. The people passing by looked at her, making them salivate.
"If you can make it, it will be a lucrative career. I want to eat candied haws." After saying that, her slender jade finger pointed to the hawker who was strolling around the street and shouting not far away.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
The two of them came up to the vendor and asked, "Uncle, how much is a string of candied haws?"
"Five low-grade spirit stones." Then, he looked at the beautiful and aloof Yan An and said jokingly, "Young man, you are so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife."
