Dou Po's Endless Devour

"I can refine fifth-grade elixirs, but I haven't even had time to be certified as an alchemist."

He smiled helplessly, he looked like a wild alchemist.

Except for Yao Lao, no one knows his level of medicine refining.

The location of the Alchemist Guild in the imperial capital can be regarded as the largest exchange place for alchemists in the Gama Empire.

The tall building is located at the end of a busy street. Its height is comparable to the Yuma Restaurant we visited last night, and its area is several times wider.

Many people wearing alchemist costumes came in and out, making it quite lively.

As he approached, the guard at the gate stopped him.

"letter of introduction!"

The guard went about his business as usual.

"No."

Xiao Ding had a letter of introduction from Hammer. He raised his hand and said, "But I can prove that I am an alchemist."

puff!

A ball of cyan flame burned blazingly in the palm of his hand, and the scorching temperature caused the air nearby to twist and billow with heat waves.

The guard who looked indifferent just now suddenly shrank his pupils when he saw Qinglian's inner fire, and was extremely surprised: "Condensing the real fire, you are... a fourth-grade alchemist?"

The person who can condense real fire may not necessarily be an alchemist, but this person is here, most likely he is.

This guy doesn't look like a teenager, but his level is so high? He's not hallucinating, is he?

The alchemists passing by also looked sideways, surprised and confused.

"This man's flame... is not simple!"

"You are too young. You must have a tender face. It is impossible for you to reach the fourth level at this age!"

"Whether it is or not, a formidable opponent has come to this conference."

The nearby alchemist lamented that many people did not believe that Xiao Ding could reach the fourth level at the age of ten.

"Can you go in?"

Xiao Ding put away the strange fire and asked calmly.

"Sir, please come in!"

The guard respectfully stepped aside.

Xiao Ding strode into it.

The interior is spacious and bright, and seems quite quiet.

"My lord, do you have any other needs?"

The commotion just now attracted the attention of the guild staff. As soon as they came in, a tall woman in black came over and asked politely.

"Determine my alchemist level so that I can participate in the alchemist conference."

Xiao Ding stated his request.

"Please come with me and fill in the information."

The woman took Xiao Ding to a counter, took out the parchment and asked: "Sir, please tell me your name, age, and instructor's name."

"Xiao Ding, 15 years old, tutors Lao Yao."

The woman raised her head in astonishment and looked at the tall Xiao Ding in disbelief: "Are you sure you are only fifteen years old?"

"I'm growing up a bit faster, but my face doesn't look very old, right?"

Xiao Ding touched his cheek. It stands to reason that he has recently cultivated a silver body and his skin is silvery white. He should look very young.

"Well, it's because I don't have much experience. Mainly because I rarely see fifteen-year-old alchemists. I just saw you releasing real fire, sir, so I thought you were quite old."

The woman smiled awkwardly and asked curiously: "I still don't know which level of alchemist you are planning to examine? Second level?"

She asked carefully, trying to increase the upper limit of her guess by one level.

"Level 4 for now, it should be enough."

Xiao Ding felt that he still had to hold back and not tell others that he had reached the fifth level right away.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly became quiet.

The woman in front of me was a little messy and she was stunned!

"Can't you, kid, keep a low profile? In this small place, it would be great for you to be a first-grade alchemist at your age. Do you think that a fourth-grade alchemist is not afraid of scaring people?"

Yao Lao couldn't help but tease.

"Didn't Senior Sister ask me to be more high-profile, and I still kept a little bit of it."

Xiao Ding curled his lips and said to the woman in black: "Is there any problem? This is the headquarters of the entire Jiama Empire Alchemist Guild, not to mention that there is no way to assess the fourth-grade alchemist?"

The woman's stiff chin retracted and she smiled bitterly: "You are not joking with me, are you? Are you really fifteen?"

How the hell is he fifteen years old? There is a fourth-grade alchemist who is fifteen years old?

The woman muttered secretly in her heart.

Xiao Ding suddenly became unhappy, "What do you mean, I look very old?"

"No...no, that's not what I meant."

The woman shook her head hastily, not wanting to offend Xiao Ding.

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of many alchemists.

Someone among them sneered: "You are fifteen years old to take the fourth-grade assessment? I think you are deliberately pretending to be young to show off, right?"

"Yes, none of these fourth-grade alchemists are in their thirties or fifties. The older ones are all gray-haired!"

Another person laughed.

Xiao Ding frowned. He never expected that if he revealed his true age, it would make people suspicious.

"Ahem, I am Otto, the fourth-grade alchemist of Black Rock City."

An old man with gray hair came over and said, "If you are a fourth-grade alchemist from the Jiama Empire, we should all have seen you. Could it be that you are from another empire?"

"no!"

Xiao Ding's expression was calm, and he was not angry because his behavior was suspected. He asked expressionlessly: "Can I be assessed here?"

According to what he said, if you want to participate in the conference, you must have certain qualifications. Either it is the alchemist level assessment badge or someone recommends it.

"Hmph, I think you are the one who came to trouble other empires. You originally wanted to participate in the conference, but you turned out to be overage, right?"

Another old man stood up dissatisfied. He came with Otto, his name was Frank, his specially made clothes had four silver ripples on them, and he was also a fourth-level alchemist.

He sneered: "Even if you fake your age, you should choose a twenty-five-year-old age. If you say you are fifteen years old and you have to take the fourth-grade test, do you really think everyone is a fool?"

Xiao Ding frowned slightly and looked at a group of people pointing at him with mocking looks: "No, you are not fools."

"Look, there is indeed a problem. He has admitted it himself. It's probably some old guy pretending to be soft and trying to take advantage!"

"I think he is the alchemist from other empires who came to cause trouble. He wants to win the championship in the conference and slap our Gama Empire in the face!"

"That makes sense. He might have been born tender, or he was disguised and took a special elixir!"

Before Xiao Ding could say the next sentence, a group of people thought they had an underground definition.

Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly and continued: "You are not fools, you are frogs in the well!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant of silence, and you could hear a needle drop.

Then, everyone's breathing became obviously rapid, and anger appeared on their faces.

Isn’t this sentence equivalent to saying: Everyone sitting here is rubbish?

It is unbearable!

"Who are you scolding?"

"How abominable!"

"Why is he so arrogant!"

The faces of a group of people turned red, and they pointed angrily at Xiao Ding and yelled curses. If they were not all alchemists and their fighting abilities were not strong, they would probably have rolled up their sleeves and started taking action.

Xiao Ding was stunned, he seemed to have made everyone angry!

"Hahaha!"

Yao Lao laughed happily: "I didn't expect that you, the boy, would be like this. You must have been trying to show off just now, but the result was beyond their understanding. None of them believed you."

Xiao Ding's face twitched: "Can you blame me? Why the hell do I still have reservations? If you just mentioned the fifth-grade assessment, would you think I'm crazy?"
