Chapter 15: Storage Ring
Upon hearing this, Su Yun was delighted and changed locations with Luo Qianchen.
Standing in front of the stone platform, Su Yun adjusted his state slightly, glanced at the prescription, and immediately began refining the pill.
Luo Qianchen watched Su Yun's proficient alchemy technique and couldn't help but sigh at the passing of the old era.
A fourth-grade pill was not easy to refine. After all, he only had the cultivation of a Dou Master, and there wasn't much Dou Qi to waste. He had to be cautious with every bit of Dou Qi.
Finally, in Luo Qianchen's intoxicated observation, Su Yun successfully refined a fourth-grade pill.
Su Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead. With his current cultivation, it was still a bit difficult, relying solely on his skilled technique.
"Take a look."
Su Yun handed the pill to Luo Qianchen, then reached into his pocket, actually taking out a Qi Gathering Pill from the system's space and putting it into his mouth.
Luo Qianchen carefully took the pill, examining it closely.
"Yes, this is the fourth-grade Qi Condensing Pill!"
Although Luo Qianchen was only a third-grade alchemist, being an old fox, he had encountered quite a few fourth-grade alchemists. Although he couldn't refine them, he could still identify fourth-grade pills.
"Qi Condensing Pill, a fourth-grade pill that, when consumed, helps the cultivation of a Martial Spirit practitioner by condensing Dou Qi, relieving the instability of Dou Qi."
Luo Qianchen put away the Qi Condensing Pill, couldn't help but ask Su Yun, "I have a question, would you be able to enlighten me?"
Luo Qianchen's tone was slightly respectful. In the path of alchemy, the higher the achievement, the greater the respect. It was natural for a third-grade alchemist to show some deference to a fourth-grade alchemist.
"Master Luo, you're being too polite. If you don't mind, just call me by my name. What's your question? Feel free to ask."
Su Yun couldn't help but smile.
Previously, Luo Qianchen allowed him to take the back door, not following the standard assessment procedure, which made Su Yun feel somewhat favorable towards him.
"In that case, I'll be bold and call you Han Xiaoyou."
Seeing that Su Yun was easy to talk to, Luo Qianchen didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "With your alchemy skills, why did you come to participate in the alchemist assessment only now?"
Su Yun understood. Skipping directly to the fourth-grade alchemist level in one go was unusual. Apart from someone like him, there wouldn't be many others.
Regarding this, he had long prepared a plausible explanation.
"Regarding this matter, I'm not afraid to be laughed at. Although the junior has some talent in alchemy, my cultivation talent is really poor.
I broke through to the Dou Master realm not long ago. Only now do I have enough Dou Qi to support the refinement of pills above the second-grade.
After that breakthrough, I closed myself off for a long time, without contact with the outside world. That's why I'm participating in the assessment now."
A wry smile appeared on Su Yun's face as he exposed his own aura, revealing the cultivation of a first-star Dou Master.
Luo Qianchen suddenly realized.
So that was it. Luo Qianchen quickly balanced his thoughts. With such poor cultivation talent, it made sense.
"I see. I accidentally revealed your shortcomings."
"No matter."
Su Yun's face remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to it.
Very easygoing. Luo Qianchen's evaluation of Su Yun went up another level.
The two walked out of the assessment area and into the hall.
Luo Qianchen beckoned, called over a subordinate, and whispered a few words.
Uncertain of what Luo Qianchen said, the person's body shook. Subconsciously, he looked at Su Yun.
Su Yun glanced at him but didn't say anything.
A fourth-grade alchemist was already a significant figure in Wutan City.
The subordinate, feeling nervous after being glanced at by Su Yun, hastily left the hall.
Neither Su Yun nor Luo Qianchen cared about the matter. Either they were used to it, or they were well-prepared for it.
The two waited in the hall for a while. The subordinate who had left earlier came back, holding a jade tray carefully.
On the tray was the specially made robe for a fourth-grade alchemist.
"Do you want to put it on now?"
"No need."
Su Yun smilingly declined, picked up the robe, examined it, and was very satisfied. With this item, many things would be more convenient.
Chapter 16: Unexpected Changes
Suddenly, Su Yun's expression stiffened, showing a hint of difficulty.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qianchen's attention had been on Su Yun the whole time, and he immediately noticed.
"Cough, I don't know if you, sir, could lend me a storage ring. After a while, I'll return it to you with some gold coins."
Luo Qianchen was somewhat amused. A fourth-grade alchemist without a storage ring?
Su Yun felt a bit embarrassed, but the fact was as he said.
Having been accustomed to using the system's space, he didn't pay much attention to storage rings. But now, in front of everyone, he couldn't just put the robe away in the system's space.
Luo Qianchen had some speculations in his mind. Han Li had only recently broken through to the Dou Master level. Before that, he was merely a fighter and couldn't refine pills above the second grade.
Although first-grade pills could bring considerable benefits to alchemists when produced in large quantities, given Han Li's cultivation talent, he probably used all his income to exchange for cultivation resources, leaving no spare money to buy a storage ring. This was quite normal.
It was a good opportunity to build a relationship.
You could say that making friends with intelligent people was good. Without any explanation, Luo Qianchen had already figured it out himself.
"I happen to have one. Consider it a gift. No need to return any gold coins. It's not worth much anyway."
Su Yun accepted the storage ring without refusing, wearing it on his finger without hesitation.
The storage ring was only about four cubic in size, just a low-grade storage ring, worth about ten thousand gold coins.
"By the way, can you give me a set of alchemist robes for first, second, and third-grade alchemists?"
"Hmm?" Luo Qianchen was surprised. "Why is that?"
"For collection."
Su Yun said indifferently.
Of course, it wasn't just for collection. A fourth-grade alchemist at the age of thirty was normal, but at the age of ten, it was extraordinary.
Speaking directly to intelligent people was good. He needed to create an alias.
Luo Qianchen didn't suspect anything and just thought Su Yun had some special preferences.
Most alchemists were eccentric and peculiar. Having some quirks wasn't worth mentioning.
After receiving the three alchemist robes, Su Yun and Luo Qianchen exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the Alchemist Guild.
An hour later, they returned home.
Seeing the Little Fairy quietly waiting at home, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been out for too long this time. It was good as long as nothing happened.
"Big Brother, you're back."
The Little Fairy saw Su Yun return, her face filled with joy. Great, Big Brother was back.
"Xian'er, give me the medicine pouch."
The Little Fairy took out the medicine pouch from the pocket of her small skirt and handed it obediently to Su Yun.
Looking at the intact medicine pouch in his hand, Su Yun's heart finally relaxed.
This medicine pouch contained poison. It was a precaution he had taken for the Little Fairy before leaving. The toxicity was enough to poison a strong expert at the Great Dou Master level.
If the Little Fairy accidentally ingested it, there would be trouble.
