Arriving at the Alchemist Guild, Long Chen went directly to Yun Qi's alchemy room, but as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he was stopped.
The Alchemist Guild is divided into the Inner Court and the Outer Court. The Outer Court is auxiliary and open to the empire, including the assessment of Alchemist qualifications, all in the Outer Court.
The inner courtyard is where the Alchemist Guild conducts its internal activities. The last time Long Chen entered the inner courtyard for testing, he was led in by Master Yunqi, so there was no obstruction.
"In the inner courtyard of the guild, idlers are not allowed to enter."
The person guarding the door was a young man who looked similar to Long Chen. He was wearing a drug boy's clothes and looked at Long Chen with an arrogant expression.
Long Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to flash his nameplate, and entered the inner courtyard with the medicine boy's shocked face.
Seeing the drug boy's originally arrogant face suddenly turn into shock, Long Chen felt a little proud.
It seems that he has been suppressed for too long. Now he finally nodded and started to indulge his selfish desires. However, he was secretly wary in his heart. He had no time to be proud of these trivial things now.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Long Chen couldn't help but slap his head and went back to being proud. He forgot to ask Master Yunqi if he was in the inner courtyard. If he wasn't there, wouldn't it be in vain?
While he was regretting it, a young girl suddenly walked by. Long Chen stopped the girl without thinking and asked, "Girl, where is Master Yunqi?"
The girl was walking with her head lowered when she was suddenly stopped by someone. She looked a little unhappy. She looked up and saw a thin young man looking at her. She couldn't help but said coldly: "What do you want from Master Yunqi?"
Long Chen was slightly stunned. That girl was very beautiful. Although she couldn't compare with Chu Yao and Meng Qi, she could still be regarded as one of the most beautiful women in a thousand.
However, although the person looks good, the way he looks at him makes people a little uncomfortable. He looks like he doesn't look like a good person, and there is a trace of pride that cannot be concealed in his eyes.
"I just want to know the whereabouts of Master Yunqi, please let me know." Although Long Chen was unhappy, he still asked in a harmonious voice out of politeness.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see Master Yunqi?" The woman looked at Long Chen and said warily.
After being answered incorrectly twice in a row, Long Chen shook his head, stopped talking to the woman, and walked straight inside to see if he could find anyone else to ask.
"Hey, let me ask you something, why are you so vulgar?" The woman saw that she asked Long Chen twice, but Long Chen didn't answer, and she couldn't help but angrily yelled.
Long Chen just took a few steps, looked back at the woman and said: "You are here to see a doctor, right?"
"What?" The woman was stunned.
"If your brain is sick, don't run around"
Long Chen snorted coldly and was about to leave. Suddenly, a strong wind hit him and went straight to the back of Long Chen's heart. At the same time, he heard an angry scolding.
"The boy is looking for death"
Long Chen was secretly surprised. The woman seemed to be thin, but when the palm was struck, the strong wind roared, making him unable to breathe smoothly. He did not expect that the woman was a peak Qi-gathering powerhouse.
Moreover, there is extremely powerful power attached to the palm of his hand. Now Long Chen's spiritual power is hidden in Fengfu Star, and he looks like a frail scholar.
Even an average Qi Gathering Realm powerhouse would be seriously injured by that palm. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be killed by the palm, and he would be so cruel for no reason.
"roll"
Long Chen was already very angry, but now that he saw the woman suddenly attacking her, he couldn't hold it back anymore and kicked her out.
boom!
Before the woman's palm touched Long Chen's body, he was kicked by Long Chen on her lower abdomen, and her whole body was kicked away.
"Wow"
The woman flew more than two feet away and hit a shelf where medicinal herbs were dried, knocking the shelf over two feet high and falling to the ground. The medicinal herbs on it poured down like water, immediately burying the woman.
"boom"
There was an explosion and the medicinal materials were splashed everywhere. The woman rushed out of the pile of medicinal materials. Her hair was messy and covered with tiny medicinal powders. She looked very embarrassed.
"You go to hell"
The woman's eyes were full of anger. With a roar, her whole body burst out with aura. She condensed her palms and a golden ripple appeared in her palms and rushed towards Long Chen.
Looking at the woman who looked like a shrew, Long Chen cursed in his heart that it was bad luck. He didn't count himself in trouble when he went out today, how could he meet a madman.
This palm clearly used a combat skill. It was so powerful that it obviously wanted to kill him. Long Chen's face turned cold.
He has the soul of the Alchemy Emperor, and he also has some superficial combat experience, but the so-called "rudimentary" is for the Alchemy Emperor.
What Long Chen has encountered now are just some little shrimps. To him, these superficial experiences are nothing short of magical skills, and dealing with them is just a piece of cake.
Long Chen's kick just now did not infuse spiritual power, so the woman was not injured. However, the woman did not want to be grateful and wanted to kill herself.
Long Chen's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intention slowly gathered. He looked at the woman rushing towards him. Although he would not kill her, if she dared to rush towards her, Long Chen would not mind giving her an unforgettable memory.
"stop"
Suddenly a cold shout came, and the crazy woman didn't dare to move as if her acupuncture points had been tapped.
"Master"
The woman said hurriedly and respectfully.
The person who came was none other than Master Yunqi. Long Chen was also shocked, couldn't he, this crazy woman was actually his disciple?
Master Yunqi shook his head and said: "I have said that I, Yunqi, will never accept a disciple in my life. There is no use for you to stay here like this."
"Master, I am a weak woman who has traveled thousands of miles just to learn alchemy skills from you. I have been in the guild for three months. Isn't my sincerity enough?" The woman said a little aggrievedly.
"Where did it come from? Let's go back there." Master Yunqi said calmly, unmoved.
"No, I won't leave. If you don't accept me for a day, I will stay here every day until you accept me," the woman said stubbornly.
"It's up to you, but remember, force is not allowed in my guild. If it happens again, I will expel you," Yun Qi said coldly.
After speaking, he said to Long Chen: "Follow me."
Long Chen was a little dazed for a moment. This crazy woman actually wanted to learn alchemy from Yun Qi, but Yun Qi was not moved at all.
Looking at the woman's resentful eyes, Long Chen suddenly realized that this woman must have mistakenly thought that she was also a disciple of Yun Qi, so she questioned him like this.
After glancing at the woman, Long Chen shook his head. Who would dare to accept such a disciple? He slowly followed Master Yunqi and entered a monastery in the inner courtyard.
Entering the monastery, Long Chen hurriedly saluted and said: "I'm sorry, I was reckless today."
Yun Qi smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't blame you for this matter, I have seen the whole thing.
But you really shocked me. You were able to kick a ninth-level Qi Gathering powerhouse away without using any spiritual power at all.
And I can see that you didn’t even use half of your strength, otherwise that girl would have been seriously injured. Boy, you hid it very well.”
Long Chen was shocked. It seemed that he had underestimated Master Yunqi. As expected, he was a cunning man and a cunning horse. He didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Child, everyone has their own secrets, and that's okay, but this person can't be distracted and do two things, otherwise it would be a pity that such a good talent like yours would be wasted," Master Yunqi said thoughtfully.
Long Chen's heart moved. Master Yunqi was trying to remind himself, hoping that he would devote himself to practicing alchemy.
"Thank you, Master, for the tip. Long Chen understands."
In any case, Master Yunqi has good intentions. Regardless of whether he listens or not, he understands this good intention.
"I heard that yesterday, you used three swords to kill a half-step blood coagulation expert. Is this true?" Master Yunqi asked.
"Well, it's true." Long Chen could only nod his head, and at the same time he was a little confused. There were soldiers blocking the area at that time, so it stands to reason that no one else would know about it.
As if seeing Long Chen's doubts, Master Yunqi smiled and said: "Yesterday, people from the royal family asked me if there was an alchemist like Long Chen in the guild. I said yes, and I also said you are me.
student, and then there was no news from the other party.”
Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned. Master Yunqi, who had always refused to accept him as a disciple, actually admitted it at this time. He couldn't help but feel moved: "Thank you, teacher."
"Haha, it's actually nothing. As long as my signboard still has some value, I'll make more use of it. Besides, disciples and apprentices are different." Master Yunqi smiled calmly.
Although it was a piece of cake for Master Yunqi, for Long Chen, it was a huge undertaking.
With Master Yunqi as his backer, he has a huge trump card and needs to be much tougher.
"Child, I have learned something about your situation. The guild has guild rules and cannot interfere in secular battles. There is only so much I can do to help you," Master Yunqi sighed.
"Master, you have done so much for me, and I can't thank you enough. Just leave the worldly matters to me, a layman," Long Chen said with a smile.
Now that Master Yunqi is here, it is much easier for him to do things, and the security of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion has also been improved a lot.
Although the Alchemist Guild will not interfere in secular disputes, as long as Long Chen is not truly involved, he will still be protected by the Alchemist Guild.
When Long Chen gains strength and does not need the protection of the Alchemist Guild, he can unravel the fog on his own.
Although he now has some clues, he doesn't dare to move yet. Maintaining the status quo is the best choice.
"What's the matter with your visit this time?" Yun Qi asked.
Only then did Long Chen remember his business: "That's it, I want to borrow some medicinal materials from the guild this time and wait for me to return them after I refine the elixir."
It is common for alchemists to withdraw part of the medicinal materials from the trade union, which can be used to compensate for the use of elixirs in the future. This is a very good choice for both the pharmacist and the trade union.
And Long Chen has the nameplate of the Alchemist Guild, so while enjoying the discount on medicinal materials, he also has the obligation to sell the elixirs he refines to the union first. When the nameplate is issued, the two parties signed an agreement.
"Can you make elixirs now?" Yun Qi said in surprise.
"I would also like to ask the teacher for some advice." Long Chen smiled slightly, but his smile was full of confidence.
