The three-storey bamboo building is simple and harmonious with the surrounding verdant bamboo forest, and it is not until you get close to it that you can distinguish it clearly.

Under the corners of the eaves hang a string of wind chimes, which sway softly, and one of them has an unknown white flower pinned to it. The mountain stream bubbled around the building.

Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng slowed down together.

The bamboo building is quiet and delicate, more like a woman's secret residence, and there is not even a single written indication around. If it weren't for the obvious aroma of herbs in the air, Lu Qiming and the others would have turned around and left.

There are no other buildings nearby, and if you contact the location that Zhuge Ke said last night, most of the so-called Pharmaceutical Alliance branch is here. But even so, the sky has just dawned, and the doors and windows of the bamboo building are tightly closed, which is really hard to disturb.

There was someone in the building, it was a little martial artist, and Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng could sense it. But for some reason, the martial artist stood against the door at the moment, motionless. It seemed that the man heard them approaching, but chose not to open the door.

Lu Qiming and the two glanced at each other, guessing that the little martial artist in the room was a girl eight out of ten. How embarrassing would it be if they hadn't taken care of themselves shortly after they had just gotten up? Thinking about it, the two of them turned around at the same time and went back the way they came—let's go to the Pavilion first.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them had taken a dozen steps, they heard the door behind them slam open. Then there was no movement again.

It's weird. Lu Qiming and the two looked back at the same time.

Sure enough, it's a girl. The white dress is about the same age as Lu Ziqi, and the eyebrows are ordinary and plain, which makes people feel comfortable. The eyes are bright and clear, like a deer in the forest.

She was standing there clutching the door with a "I'm stunned" expression.

Qin Yue spread her fan, turned her head sideways and whispered to Lu Qiming: "This girl was frightened by the sound of herself opening the door just now. ”

Although his voice was small, but the girl in white also had the cultivation of a martial artist, how could she not hear it when she was so close?

Lu Qiming glanced at Qin Yuefeng helplessly--it was strange that what he said just now was not intentional! This person obviously once again committed the old mistake of "teasing young girls when they see them."

It's still up to him. Lu Qiming coughed lightly, and was about to open his mouth to ask questions to determine the location, but the girl in white was faster than anyone else this time, and said hurriedly: "Please come in! Please fast forward-ah no, it's fast...... Huh?"

Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng: "......"

Why is this girl so nervous?

The two of them naturally couldn't understand the unparalleled embarrassment in Dong Yingying's heart.

She was introverted by nature, and since she was a child, she has lived alone with her master, and has almost no experience communicating with strangers alone. As a result, yesterday the master suddenly had an urgent matter to leave, and that's it—the master actually asked her to temporarily take charge of the alchemist's assessment!

When Dong Yingying heard this, she was trying to refine the four-grade elixir, and she was blowing up the furnace on the spot.

She was so scared that she didn't sleep all night last night, just praying that no alchemist would come here to take the grade test in the past few days--I didn't expect that it was only the first day, and someone would come so early in the morning!

You must know that because of the difficulty of the master's questions, almost no one in Zhongwu will come here to take the test. They would rather walk a long way to another branch than come here. How could my luck be so bad......

Dong Yingying's whole person is not good.

As soon as she heard the noise, she nervously stuck behind the door, hesitating for a long time to pretend that she was not there. But she really couldn't do such a thing as "living up to the master's trust", no matter how scared she was, she opened the door with a hard head, and as a result, she was overexcited and made a series of jokes......

She wanted to close the door again, but now that she had been seen by them, it was too late to pretend she wasn't there.

On both sides of the stream, the three of them stared at each other.

......

Staying in the branch is such a little white flower-like girl, I don't know if today's grade is reliable......

Lu Qiming sighed silently in his heart, and decided to ask some simple questions to ease her nervousness: "Girl, is this the branch of the Pharmaceutical Alliance in the Martial Academy?"

Dong Yingying really breathed a sigh of relief, this is a good answer! So she replied, "Yes." ”

Lu Qiming blinked, and then asked, "Then can the grade be reviewed now?"

Sure enough, it is an audit grade...... The last luck in Dong Yingying's heart was shattered. She said with a bitter face, "Yes." ”

At this time, she also relieved her strength, and finally made a normal reaction. She stepped back to the side of the door to make way and said, "Please come in first." ”

After entering the bamboo building, Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng both felt that this place was not like a branch of the Pharmaceutical Alliance! It was clearly the house where the little girl's family lived by themselves! In this space full of women's life, they were simply not able to get down, and they all had the same question in their hearts -- was it really here? The place where people came and went all day long, was it really suitable?

When they first arrived in Zhongwu, Dong Yingying's master happened to be absent, so naturally they didn't know that no one usually came here at all. If the person Lu Qiming asked was not Zhuge Ke, he might not be able to ask for the address.

Dong Yingying didn't have the consciousness of "checking the grade at home is not suitable", and walked upstairs with the two of them, and she walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said nervously: "By the way, today is, it's me...... Is it okay to audit the grade?"

Her voice is getting smaller and smaller, if it weren't for Lu Qiming's extraordinary ear power, she wouldn't want to hear it clearly.

Lu Qiming didn't have anything, smiled and nodded: "Then it's bothering the girl." ”

"No, it's not 'girl'," I didn't expect Dong Yingying to be at a loss again, and said embarrassedly: "My name is Dong Yingying, it's okay to call me 'Sakura', my master called it like this." ”

Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng also briefly introduced themselves respectively. They exchanged glances, and understood that the extent of this girl was not at all enough to describe the word "untouched in the world". Generally speaking, for a woman, it would be uncomfortable to be called a nickname directly by a stranger, right?

Dong Yingying took the two of them to a refining room on the upper floor - seeing this, they finally had some "regular" atmosphere.

Under the wall on the left hand side of the door, there are more than a dozen medicine pods of different shapes. Dong Yingying trotted over and moved the cleanest medicine pod at the edge to the center, in fact, it should have been the dustiest one--Dong Yingying had just brushed it up from insomnia last night.

It was only at this time that Dong Yingying remembered to ask the most important question: "Lu Gongzi, Qin Gongzi, which grade do you want to test?"

Qin Yuefeng immediately took a step back and pointed at Lu Qiming, indicating that he was the only one to take the test.

There is only one person! Dong Yingying was very happy.

Then Lu Qiming said: "Four products." ”

"Four pins?!" Dong Yingying's little face turned white, and her voice was first shrill with fright, and then quickly weakened: "But but I only have three grades......"

Qin Yuefeng couldn't help but sigh in surprise, "You are already a third grade!"

The grade of the alchemist is much more difficult to improve than that of cultivation. If you cultivate the arts, you may barely be able to achieve the same level of cultivation as the grade, but it is almost impossible for the alchemists of the martial arts to synchronize - if you don't look at the geniuses such as Jiang's Jiang Xuecha, isn't it also that the cultivation has reached the Great Zhou Tian, and the grade of the alchemist is still hovering at the fourth grade?

Although the difficulty of the third grade cannot be compared with the fourth and fifth grades, Dong Yingying can reach the third grade with the cultivation of a martial artist, which is definitely an outstanding qualification that is unique in ten thousand.

Dong Yingying looked like a person who couldn't tell lies, so Qin Yuefeng just praised it, but Dong Yingying mistakenly thought that he didn't believe it, so she immediately turned around and ran, unable to shout.

When Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng looked at each other helplessly, she ran back and showed them an official document and a ring in both hands, to show that her grade was really right.

Lu Qiming and the others were quite a little crying and laughing - this girl was obviously her assessment of others, but she ended up being assessed with the temperament of being assessed.

However, Lu Qiming's gaze stopped on the ring for a few more moments.

The ring is simple and quiet, suitable for both men and women, and is inlaid with an amethyst in the center, which can be seen hidden when you look at it in the light.

As long as there is a formal grade alchemist, they will all get a ring corresponding to their respective spirit imprints. However, the amethyst of the first and second grades is only a mortal thing that symbolizes status, and the materials used from the third grade upwards are really beneficial to the refining of medicine - it can make the wearer calm and more concentrated, and also increase the mental power to a certain extent.

Seeing Dong Yingying's ring, Lu Qiming remembered that the ring of the five-grade alchemist would have a storage function. But the idea of taking the five-grade test was denied after only a moment in my mind, so let's be more cautious.

Dong Yingying's side was even more depressed after remembering the fact that even if she proved that she did have three grades, it was still useless.

Lu Qiming had no intention of taking the grade test in the past, so he didn't know the rules, and said strangely: "The grade assessment, isn't it enough to refine the corresponding grade of potion according to the question?"

Dong Yingying shook her head and said, "This is just one of the conditions, and you still need at least official members of the same level of the Pharmaceutical Alliance to watch from the sidelines." ”

Lu Qiming frowned slightly. Zhuge Ke had said before that he could take the four-grade test here, and if there were only three-grade, most of the materials he was going to exchange would have to use more troublesome methods.

Dong Yingying said guiltily: "It's all because my grade is too low...... I don't know when Master will come back, what can I do?"

She thought for a long time, then suddenly patted her head and said happily: "Yes, Lu Gongzi, I can use the Shadow Stone to record the process of refining your medicine and send it to the headquarters! And it's also fast, a day at most. ”

Lu Qiming smiled slightly bitterly, this was the reason why he decided not to take the five-grade test before.

There is more than one force associated between Central Continent and the Divine Domain, the most common of which is the Medicine Alliance, and its history is much older than that of the Daoist Academy.

Today's alchemists are revered everywhere they go, but this was not the case in ancient times, when the abilities of alchemists benefited everyone, but most of them did not have the ability to protect themselves, and they were in an extremely difficult situation - until the emergence of the Medicine Alliance.

However, with the development of alchemy, sects and clans focusing on alchemy emerged one after another, but the Medicine Alliance gradually lost its absolute dominance due to the large number of people and the miscellaneous.

If it is developed according to the convention, the drug alliance is destined to be eliminated. However, at that time, the leader of the Pharmaceutical Alliance took a different path, and when the supremacy of the Pharmaceutical Alliance had not completely collapsed, in the name of "fairness" and "unified grade standards", he took the initiative to invite several major pharmaceutical biased forces represented by Poria Ancient Land to serve as a concurrent seat in the Pharmaceutical Alliance.

In this way, the word "huge and complex" has become the advantage of the pharmaceutical alliance.

However, in this way, the Medicine Alliance inevitably became a huge but loose organization, but it truly became the most authoritative standard symbol for measuring alchemists. The entire drug alliance has survived in another form until now.

"The headquarters of the Pharmaceutical Alliance is in the Divine Domain" is not enough, the point is that there are many people from the major forces in the Divine Domain in the headquarters.

Lu Qiming had only made such a big move in the Golden Tree Secret Realm not long ago, even if he guessed the identity of some Yu Wenxuan, he didn't dare to send his image to the Divine Domain so much.

Now it seems that there is only another way, or hope that this little girl Dong's master will come back.

Lu Qiming euphemistically explained what he meant to Dong Yingying, and then saw that the kid blushed again.

Although Dong Yingying rarely deals with outsiders, she is a very polite and good girl. She is most afraid of causing trouble to others because of her own reasons - this time, in her opinion, it is because her grade is too low, she has not completed the task assigned by her master, and has caused trouble to the gentle and kind Lu Gongzi, she has never felt so guilty since she was a child......

She gritted her teeth, raised her head suddenly, and said, "Can you do this-I'll give you the paperwork of the fourth grade first, but if you have a ring...... Can you wait for Master to come back and see the potion before submitting an application to the headquarters?"

Lu Qiming was stunned, how good it is? !

He was really in a hurry, so naturally he would not be hypocritical, and immediately smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”

Dong Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed and bright smile appeared on her face, and said happily: "Lu Gongzi, you are so good!

Qin Yuefeng, who was standing on the side and watched the whole process, was dumbfounded-Lu Qiming's luck can be so good that even such a stupid girl has been encountered?

"Wait. Lu Qiming stopped her again.

Dong Yingying looked back at him with a frightened look on her face, isn't it okay?

Lu Qiming said helplessly: "It's better to ...... Refining medicine first?"

Dong Yingying snorted and smiled embarrassedly, she really forgot......

She hurriedly stood on tiptoe to the bookcase and pulled out the top stack of papers—this was the topic of the four-grade assessment that the master had chosen. She looked at more than twenty different potions, and secretly thought, "Lu Gongzi is so easy to speak, I have to find the simplest one for him." ”
