Signing in while in Qian Renxue's arms, becoming the main villain of Douluo Continent.

Chapter 339: A Skill That Amazed the Entire Audience!
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Lin Fan, where a perfectly round pill lay quietly in his palm, emitting a faint glow.

"I think this kid is just here to cause trouble. He bought a Qi-restoring pill beforehand and hid it in his storage ring!"

"And it's incredibly stupid. They just pulled it out right at the start of the assessment. Who would believe that!"

"Exactly! Refining a pill in just over ten seconds—even the guild leader probably couldn't do that!"

The entire hall erupted in commotion, filled with doubts and mockery.

"I already warned you once. Men, throw him out!"

Frank's face was grim. After he finished speaking, several guards stepped forward and tried to drag Lin Fan out!

However, the guards froze on the spot in the next instant, and the disdain and doubt on everyone's faces turned into shock and disbelief!
In the short span of a dozen seconds between Frank's speech and the guard's arrival, flames rose in Lin Fan's palm, and he threw all the medicinal herbs into it, then condensed them into a complete pill!

"This...how is this possible! Condensing solid fire, you're a fourth-grade alchemist? No, even a fourth-grade alchemist couldn't do this!"

It took Frank a long time to come to his senses; he felt like his brain couldn't process what he was doing!
Frank himself is a fourth-grade alchemist, and he can condense solid fire, but refining a Qi-restoring pill in a dozen seconds without using a cauldron is something he never dared to dream of!

Moreover, the pill in Lin Fan's hand was the pinnacle of first-grade pills in terms of both its appearance and the aura it emitted!
"I apologize for my rudeness. May I ask how I should address you?"

It took Frank a long time to come to his senses. He became extremely humble and bowed to Lin Fan.

"Just call me Lin Fan. Now, can you tell me what grade of alchemist certification is supported here?"

Lin Fan said in a detached tone.

"Of course, since I am a fourth-grade alchemist, I can only certify third-grade alchemists at most."

"However, today is the assessment and certification for first-grade alchemists. If you want to be certified at a higher level, you will need to wait a few days. Why don't you stay at the Alchemist Guild for a while? We will not neglect our distinguished guest."

Frank was full of respect. Lin Fan's alchemy skills were far superior to his own. If he could keep Lin Fan in the Alchemist Guild, that would be wonderful!

"Alright."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan nodded and then walked towards the backyard led by the maid.

"Where did this guy come from? I don't think I've ever heard of him before!"

"He looks to be only in his early twenties, yet he possesses such superb alchemy skills. He's truly a prodigy!"

"Comparison is the thief of joy. We're still worrying about the first-grade alchemist exam, while others are already on par with the guild leader."

As Lin Fan left, a series of sighs echoed in the hall. Xue Mei and Lin Fei exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of self-mockery in each other's eyes.

Their alchemy talents are among the best in Blackrock City's younger generation, so they have always regarded each other as their biggest rivals.

But after seeing Lin Fan's amazing performance, they felt that all their years of learning alchemy had been for nothing!

After the interlude, the first-grade alchemist assessment officially began. After Lin Fan's performance, everyone seemed to be stimulated and turned pressure into motivation. In the end, more people passed the assessment than expected!

Xue Mei and Lin Fei successfully became real alchemists!
"What, you're not happy now that you've completed the assessment?"

Frank and Otto walked over side by side, staring at their two apprentices.

"That guy named Lin Fan is only a few years older than me, but he's so amazing. How can I be happy about that?"

"Exactly! Even if an ordinary person started learning alchemy from the womb, they could never reach his level. He's simply freakish!"

Xue Mei and Lin Fei, who are usually at odds, surprisingly stood on the same side at this moment.

"The name Lin Fan sounds very unfamiliar. He shouldn't be from the vicinity of Blackrock City, or even the Gama Empire! He must be a genius from some alchemy family on the continent who has traveled here." Frank was also puzzled by this, as it was the only possibility he could think of.

"Teacher, just what grade has that guy's alchemy skill reached?"

Linfei asked a very crucial question.

"In my opinion, it's at least Rank 5 or even higher! Condensing solid fire without needing a medicine cauldron to refine medicine is extremely difficult."

"However, we will only be able to see his specific alchemy skills during the third-grade assessment later."

Frank was also very much looking forward to it, because the simplest Grade One Qi-Returning Pill could only provide so little information about Lin Fan.

"Is it that amazing?!"

Xue Meilin and Fei looked at each other, their eyes filled with envy.

"Lin Fan will likely be staying at the Alchemist Guild for a while. I'll try to introduce you two to him. Even a little verbal guidance from such an expert would be incredibly beneficial to you!"

"Of course, it would be better if we could keep him in the Alchemist Guild. Let's go and sound him out."

Frank led Lin Fei and Xue Mei to the backyard and knocked on Lin Fan's door.

"come in."

As the door creaked open, Lin Fan raised an eyebrow at the two pretty women following behind Frank.

"Hehe, I was just worried about not finding a chance to get close to these two girls, and they actually came to me on their own initiative."

Lin Fan was secretly pleased. It seemed that showing off his alchemy skills had brought him quite a few benefits, but he naturally didn't show it on his face.

"President Frank, is there something you need?"

Lin Fan sat there leisurely sipping his tea, looking like a hermit sage.

"Um... I wonder if Young Master Lin Fan would be interested in taking a position at the Blackrock City Alchemists' Guild? If you are willing to stay, the position of guild leader is available!"

Frank gritted his teeth and made a decision that left Xue Mei and Lin Fei speechless!

The president of the Alchemist Guild is not just a figurehead; he controls all kinds of medicinal herbs and pills in Blackrock City and the surrounding area!
"Forget it, I'm used to being free, and I won't stay in Blackrock City for long."

However, when faced with tempting offers that most people couldn't resist, Lin Fan refused them quite decisively.

"but……"

Just as Frank looked disappointed, Lin Fan suddenly changed the subject.

"Although these two girls' talent for alchemy is not top-notch, it is still quite good. If they are properly nurtured, they can achieve the level of a fifth-grade alchemist or above in the future."

"Fifth rank?!"

Lin Fan's words caused all three of them to gasp in surprise. Looking across the entire Gama Empire, there was not a third alchemist of that level, except for Pill King Gu He and Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild in Gama Imperial City!
"Please enlighten me, Young Master Lin Fan!"

The two women were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Lin Fan.

"Alright, I've been free lately, so I can give you two some targeted special training. As long as you listen to me, I guarantee you'll break through to the second-grade alchemist level within a month."

Lin Fan readily agreed.
