In the lobby of the restaurant, there are many tables, and there are almost no empty ones.

The guests were all chatting and chatting, and it was very lively.

"I heard that the Alchemist Guild has recently passed the assessment with another second-grade alchemist. ”

"Yes, a second-grade alchemist is very rare. ”

"Do you know who he is? Hall Master of Shadows, Chen Hao!"

"Oh, that's amazing, Hall Master Chen Hao not only mastered all the southern divisions of the Shadow, but also reached the second-grade realm, which is really rare. ”

In the noisy voice, several people at the next table were talking about the alchemist, and Ye Nanfeng noticed it.

So, Ye Nanfeng turned his head and hugged his fists and asked, "Brothers, what do you mean by alchemist assessment?"

"You don't know?" said a few drinkers.

Ye Nanfeng smiled and said, "Recently, I also have the heart to study alchemy, but I didn't know much about it before......

As soon as they heard this, several people lost interest.

Only recently learned alchemy?

I didn't even get in, and I didn't even have an apprentice.

There are too many people in the world who want to become alchemists, but few succeed.

But out of politeness, several people still explained: "As we all know, alchemists have grades, and there is no basis for what the grades are. Only after being certified by the Alchemist Guild can it be recognized by the public. For example, Chen Haotang Master, in fact, could have been refining second-grade pills a long time ago, but he only recently went to the guild to participate in the assessment, and after passing the 'second-grade certificate', he was the real second-grade alchemist. ”

Ye Nanfeng suddenly realized, it turned out that the Alchemist Guild still had this role.

"Is there any benefit to passing the test?" he asked.

"Of course, there are benefits, high-level alchemists can enjoy all kinds of resources provided by the guild, and they have a noble status and are respected wherever they go. Take the president of the Alchemist Guild as an example, the president is already a five-grade alchemist, and even His Majesty the Emperor treats the president as a guest, more noble than the emperor's relatives and relatives. Several of the drinkers looked envious.

"Are the five-grade alchemists so powerful?" Ye Nanfeng was a little surprised.

He himself casually refined the third-grade pill, and in time he should be able to reach the fifth-grade realm, but he didn't expect that the status of a fifth-grade alchemist could be second only to the king of a country.

As soon as Ye Nanfeng finished speaking, several people at the next table showed disdainful eyes:

"You're from the countryside, aren't you? I'm afraid I don't know what a five-grade alchemist means. ”

"The elixir has a lot of effects and is expensive, but the supply exceeds the demand. The alchemist is a moving treasure house, and countless people have to befriend the alchemist. And in the surrounding ten countries, the sum of the five rank alchemists does not exceed the number of ten fingers, do you say that the status of people is high?"

In the surrounding ten countries, there are ten emperors, and they will be replaced every three or five times.

But the fifth-grade alchemists are less than ten, less than the emperor!

The local guild leader was still willing to stay here after being courteous by the Purple Dragon Emperor's corporal and receiving all kinds of conveniences and resources.

"Five-grade alchemist, it's not an existence that ordinary people can imagine. Sun Yan also looked at him with admiration and sighed.

Then, he asked Ye Nanfeng, "By the way, Brother Feng, you just want to go to the Alchemist Guild, right?"

"Yes, I am going to receive a reward for my merits in capturing the fugitives. This time, the Alchemist Guild cooperated with the imperial court, and the rewards were provided by the guild. Ye Nanfeng explained, "But since I'm here, I just want to assess the alchemist level." ”

Sun Yan's face jumped: "You take the alchemist exam??"

Ye Nanfeng had never specifically told others about learning alchemy, and Sun Yan didn't know about it.

Not only did Sun Yan feel speechless, but several guests at the next table were also strange.

Assessing the alchemist level?

Why don't you go to heaven!

You said it yourself, you just recently studied alchemy.

Beginners, can't grasp the heat well, and still go to the assessment?

This is too much to think of yourself.

Sure enough, he is a countryman, he has never seen the world, and he still feels good about himself.

"I said little brother, I am from here, I advise you, alchemy is not easy, if you don't have top talent and unremitting efforts, it is not easy to be ......an alchemist."

Among the few drinkers next door, an older man spoke.

What this person said was quite pertinent, so Ye Nanfeng said politely: "Thank you Mr. for reminding me, but I am not on a whim, but I have the confidence to pass the assessment of the alchemist." ”

The old gentleman was puzzled, could it be that this son really had the ability to alchemy?

With the idea of not losing his genius, the old gentleman asked tentatively: "Listen to the little brother, your alchemy apprentice level should not be low, right?"

Before becoming an alchemist, you must first become an apprentice.

There are also high and low apprentices, and if they are top apprentices, they do have a chance to pass the assessment of a first-class alchemist.

However, what kind of apprentice did Ye Nanfeng take?

At that moment, he bluntly said: "I have not been an apprentice......"

"Then who did you learn alchemy?" The wrinkles on the old gentleman's forehead jumped, and you didn't even think of yourself as an apprentice?

"I ...... Self-taught. Ye Nanfeng couldn't explain it, so he could only reply like this.

These words made the old gentleman and several other drinkers almost squirt the wine in their throats.

Self-taught?

After a few days of self-study, you want to be an alchemist?

This kid doesn't look like he's in a normal mind......

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking to him, it's just a frog at the bottom of the well, I'm afraid he just read the Dan book on the stall and thinks he has learned alchemy. ”

Next to the old gentleman, a young woman with a good posture looked unhappy and disgusted, and said.

"Xiao Yu, aren't I worried about missing out on talents, although it's unlikely, what if he really comes to alchemy?" the old gentleman sighed lightly and said.

The woman snorted lightly, "How many people in the world can become alchemists? It's not like you've never seen someone like this who feels good about herself. ”

The old gentleman didn't say much, and he still had some regrets.

Sure enough, there are too few people who can become alchemists at a young age......

At this time, Sun Yan stared at the old man's face for a long time, thoughtfully, and said with some uncertainty: "Jiang, Uncle Jiang?"

"Huh?" puzzled the old gentleman, "you know me?"

"I'm Sun Yan, are you Uncle Jiang?" Sun Yan said with some surprise.

"Sun Yan, Sun Yan......" The old gentleman muttered several times in his mouth, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Are you really Sun Yan?"

"Yes, Uncle Jiang, I didn't expect you to be in such good health. Sun Yan was a little excited when he saw the old man.

He didn't know many people in the city, and the old gentleman named Jiang Zhe in front of him was one.

Many years ago, Jiang Zhe was a second-grade alchemist who was supported by the Sun family with a high salary.

You must know that it is not an ordinary family that can afford to invite a second-grade alchemist into the house.

After many years, the Sun family is long gone, and after Sun Yan left this place of right and wrong a few years ago, he has never seen Jiang Zhe again.

Jiang Zhe is a very good person, Sun Yan was also taken care of by him when he was a child, and the relationship between the two is like that of an uncle and nephew.

Seeing Uncle Jiang again at this time, Sun Yan respectfully got up and bent down and saluted......
