Moreover, they all saw everything clearly just now; this alchemist did indeed complete the alchemy all by himself.
The so-called bribery is nothing more than a perfectly normal transaction conducted face-to-face.
Kong Sheng considered himself a rising star in the Alchemist Guild and a genius in alchemy.
Now that he has been outdone in alchemy by a girl younger than him, he is bound to be unable to accept it and has fallen into a state of madness.
The other alchemy disciples looked at Ruan Xiyan with respect.
Whether in the world of cultivation or the world of alchemy, as long as one's skills are exceptional, regardless of age, one will unconsciously command respect.
Jun Yu narrowed his eyes as he listened to Kong Sheng's shrill voice.
What kind of trash is this, daring to slander his Ayan?
"Ayan, such a noisy guy, I just took care of him."
With his strength, killing whomever he wants is just a matter of snapping his fingers; who in the entire cultivation continent can stop him?
Hearing Jun Yu threaten to kill someone so brutally at the slightest provocation, Ruan Xiyan gently pulled his hand and whispered.
"It's not worth Ah Yu getting his hands dirty for something like this."
This is the territory of the Alchemist Guild. He is, after all, an alchemy disciple of the guild, and he has an elder grandfather backing him up.
Killing him would likely cause unnecessary trouble.
She came here only to participate in the alchemy competition, and obtaining the Azure Lotus was her primary goal.
Seeing his hand clasped with Ayan's, Junyu immediately calmed down, a faint smile on his lips, "I'll listen to Ayan."
Seeing that none of the alchemy disciples spoke up for him, Kong Sheng staggered and ran off in one direction.
Ruan Xiyan didn't care where he was going or whether he was going to complain.
She and Junyu stood still, taking the opportunity to survey their surroundings.
The Alchemist Guild was decorated in a magnificent and glittering style, and the alchemists coming and going all wore their own unique badges.
These rank badges represent their prestigious status as alchemists.
A short while later, Elder Qian came over with a purple alchemy level badge.
He handed the badge to Ruan Xiyan, saying, "Your Excellency has kept you waiting. This is your badge."
Although Ruan Xiyan is young, her alchemy level is above his. With such outstanding alchemy talent, she has the potential to become an even more powerful alchemy master in the future.
Elder Qian treated this genius with utmost courtesy and respect.
"With your talent, would you be interested in joining my Alchemist Guild? Our Alchemist Guild is an upper-class organization with excellent benefits."
“Our branch president will certainly welcome you to join us. Shall I take you to meet our branch president?”
Ruan Xiyan took the badge and was about to say something after hearing Elder Qian's words.
Kong Sheng, who had already left, returned in a menacing manner, followed by two elderly men.
One of the elderly men was Yan Changpu, the branch president of the Eastern District Alchemist Association whom I had met at the Mingyue Tower auction.
There was another old man whom Ruan Xiyan did not recognize, but judging from the intimate way Kong Sheng treated him, she could roughly guess that the old man was his grandfather, who served as the elder of the Alchemist Branch.
Kong Sheng walked up to Ruan Xiyan with his head held high and complained to the old man beside him, "Grandpa, it's her. She's just a teenage girl."
"How could it be possible to refine a seventh-grade pill? It must be a fake."
“Branch President, you must severely punish her, as well as Elder Qian, who colluded with her.”
"Shut up, Kong Sheng!" Elder Kong scolded. "The branch president will judge the matter himself. There's no need for a junior like you to shout like this. What kind of behavior is this?"
Elder Kong looked serious. The branch president was discussing tomorrow's alchemy competition with him.
Who knew this guy would barge in so loudly, without any sense of propriety at all.
They really spoiled him rotten; he's become so arrogant and doesn't know his place anymore.
"Grandpa, why are you helping outsiders instead of your own grandson?" Kong Sheng grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Yan Changpu frowned as he looked at the noisy Kong Sheng.
Although Elder Kong's alchemy skills were not weak, he was too lax in educating his children and grandchildren and did not discipline them, which led to Kong Sheng becoming the way he is today.
Yan Changpu looked at Elder Qian and asked, "Elder Qian, what's going on?"
"Branch Master, this Miss Ruan came to take the level badge test and passed. All the alchemy disciples present can testify that they all saw her refine a seventh-grade breakthrough pill."
"The Breakthrough Pill still has golden pill patterns on it, but Kong Sheng is spouting nonsense and accusing me of protecting him. I have never suffered such injustice and slander before."
"I must get an explanation from Elder Kong today. If Elder Kong fails to discipline his grandson, don't blame me for being unreasonable and giving him a lecture," Elder Qian said, enunciating each word clearly. He wasn't going to tolerate Kong Sheng's bad temper.
"Seventh rank?!" The words "seventh rank" kept echoing in Yan Changpu's mind as he caught a glimpse of the purple badge in Ruan Xiyan's hand.
It is indeed a purple badge that only a seventh-grade alchemist can possess.
Hearing Yan Changpu's shocked tone, Elder Kong also looked over and saw the badge in Ruan Xiyan's hand that represented her status as a seventh-grade alchemist.
He looked at the badge, then at Ruan Xiyan. "A seventh-grade alchemist? Could there be a mistake?"
Such a young seventh-grade alchemist is truly a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
Moreover, the Alchemist Guild hasn't issued any purple-level badges in a long time.
Seventh-grade alchemists are few and far between on the entire continent, and most of them are elderly. When have they ever seen such a young girl?
Yan Changpu sized up Ruan Xiyan. Since Elder Qian presided over the rank badge assessment, there was no way something could go wrong.
The teenage girl in front of me is truly a seventh-grade alchemist. How amazing must her alchemy talent be!
Elder Qian snorted coldly and retorted to Elder Kong, "If you don't believe me, the seventh-grade breakthrough pill is right here."
"Don't flatter me. I'm only a sixth-grade alchemist myself. I can't help others cheat and make seventh-grade pills."
Elder Qian took out the Breakthrough Pill, his tone somewhat sarcastic.
He was extremely impartial and fair in the assessment of alchemy, and to doubt him in this regard was a great insult to him.
"It really is a Breakthrough Pill." Elder Kong exclaimed in surprise. He stared at the pill's patterns and muttered to himself, "Four golden patterns, no wonder it has such a rich medicinal fragrance."
The stronger the aroma of the elixir, the better its quality and the stronger its medicinal power.
