Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 469 Dominating a Generation, Twin Flowers

"A fourth-grade alchemist automatically gains the title of honorary elder and has priority in purchasing medicinal herbs stored by the guild."

After announcing the results, Fama immediately began to introduce the benefits of the Alchemist Guild.

"If you join the guild, you can directly become the president of the Alchemist Branch."

Would you be willing to join the guild?

“I grew up in the Yunlan Sect since I was a child and I don’t want to join any other forces.”

Jin Renfeng shook his head.

"That's a pity!"

Fa Ma sighed softly. Then he raised his withered hand and tapped the storage ring on his finger.

A jade plate immediately appeared in his hand, and on the jade plate was a white robe.

"This clothing is a special garment for fourth-grade alchemists. It is also one of the benefits that the guild gives to alchemists after they are promoted. It has the property of being immune to poison and can also avoid being cut by swords and knives. It has extremely strong defensive power."

"It can even withstand a full-force attack from a Grand Dou Master. It is quite a treasure."

Jin Renfeng nodded in satisfaction as he listened to Fa Ma's introduction.

"This clothing alone, which can withstand the attack of a Grand Dou Master, is worth no less than hundreds of thousands of gold coins."

"The alchemist's treatment is really good!"

He thought to himself, then raised his hand and took the robe.

The robe was made of very soft material, like a woman's tender skin.

Then, Fa Ma took out a jade box.

The jade box was opened, and inside was a badge.

The badge features a medicine cauldron as its main element, with four mercury-like ripples that constantly and subtly undulate.

"This is the badge of a fourth-grade alchemist, and it is also a symbol of an alchemist's status."

"You must keep it safe and not lose it."

With that, Fama handed over the badge.

Jin Renfeng raised his hand, took the badge in his hand, and smiled.

"Now, I can officially be considered a fourth-grade alchemist!!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

The Alchemist Guild's inner hall!
To welcome the many distinguished guests, the Alchemist Guild set up many tables and chairs in the hall and served fragrant tea.

After waiting for more than an hour, everyone was getting impatient.

Many people kept glancing up at the iron gate while drinking tea.

"I wonder if that guy can handle it."

Looking at the door not far away, Mu Zhan muttered...

“I think it’s difficult!”

The little princess put down her teacup and hummed softly.

"A fourth-grade alchemist is different from a third-grade alchemist."

"That's a genuine high-level alchemist! The requirements for both strength and soul power are extremely high."

"It's really difficult for Jin Renfeng, who is only fifteen years old, to be promoted."

"So that guy will fail the test?"

Mu Zhan asked.

"Probably!"

The little princess nodded.

Princess Yaoye remained silent, her long, slender, fair legs swaying.

She knew nothing about alchemy, so naturally she didn't offer any opinion.

Listening to the conversation of the group, Nalan Yanran's pretty face showed worry.

Everyone was pessimistic about the outcome of this assessment, and her heart couldn't help but race.

"Liu Ling, what do you think?"

The little princess turned her head and asked Liu Ling, who was standing to the side.

Liu Ling forced a smile onto her face.
“My master is a guest elder of the Yunlan Sect, and Young Master Jin is a disciple of the Yunlan Sect. Naturally, I hope he can pass smoothly.”

Do you think he can pass the assessment smoothly?

The little princess grinned mischievously.

"My master, Gu He, was also a fourth-grade alchemist who broke through at the age of twenty."

Liu Ling shook her head.

"I don't think anyone can surpass my teacher."

"You still don't think highly of Jin Renfeng, do you? Why do you have to go through all that trouble?"

The little princess gave a soft hum.

"hypocritical!"

Hearing the girl's sarcasm, Liu Ling did not argue.

squeak-

Just then, the sound of the iron gate moving suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked up and saw that the previously closed door was now being slowly pushed open.

Behind the door, two figures, one tall and one short, came into view.

"Did you make it?"

Questions arose in everyone's minds.

The door was wide open, and two figures walked out.

Walking in front was President Fa Ma, an old man with a wrinkled face and a solemn expression, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.

The ones behind are the boys who participated in the assessment.

Under the light, the boy was dressed in white, and the badge on his chest shone brightly with four silver ripples.

Everyone was astonished to see the alchemist badge on the boy's body.

"Is that the badge of a fourth-grade alchemist?"

"This guy actually succeeded!"

President Fama walked to the center of the hall and announced.

"After being assessed by the Alchemist Guild, Jin Renfeng, a third-grade alchemist, is capable of refining fourth-grade pills."

"In accordance with the rules of the Alchemist Guild, a fourth-grade alchemist qualification has now been granted."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gasp of surprise rang out in the hall.

Everyone found it hard to believe.

What age is fifteen?

Even though they were all geniuses from powerful families, most of them hadn't broken through to the Dou Zhe level by the age of fifteen. They were still diligently cultivating their Dou Qi.

However, the young man in front of him had already become a fourth-grade alchemist, officially stepping into the upper echelons of the empire.

"What a monstrous talent!"

A wave of emotion rose in everyone's hearts at the same time.

"That's great, senior brother!"

Nalan Yanran rushed forward and excitedly threw herself into the young man's arms.
Unlike others, as the boy's lover and junior sister, she truly felt honored.

Jin Renfeng reached out and embraced the girl's slender waist, chuckling softly.
"I told you long ago, being a fourth-grade alchemist is no challenge for me, but you have to worry about it unnecessarily."

Looking at the spirited young man in the crowd, Mu Zhan's gaze was complicated.

"This guy is getting more and more terrifying!"

Originally, the difference between him and Jin Renfeng was only in strength. Although the gap between Dou and Dou Shi was still huge, it was only one realm.

However, the other party has now become a fourth-grade alchemist.

A fourth-grade alchemist is not comparable to a so-called Battle Master. In principle, only a Battle Spirit expert is worthy of being compared with a fourth-grade alchemist.

There is a full three major realms between a Fighting Spirit and a Fighter.

The difference in power, spanning dozens of stars, instantly multiplied the gap between the two by more than three times, and this was without even considering the scarcity of alchemists.

It's fair to say that he can't even see the other person's back anymore.

"He actually succeeded in advancing! Jin Renfeng's talent is just too strong!" The little princess's beautiful eyes widened as she murmured.

Most of the young people in the capital are still at the Dou Zhe level, but Jin Renfeng is already a big shot who is a fourth-grade alchemist.

In the Gama Empire, a fourth-grade alchemist is already qualified to be taken seriously by the royal family. Even without considering age, status, and the power behind them, they are now considered a very important figure.

"It's so frustrating!"

Liu Ling sighed deeply.

The gap was still small, and he still had the will to catch up, but now that the gap is so large, he can only sigh in regret.

Princess Yaoye gazed intently at the young figure.

Such a genius, even she felt overwhelmed by his talent.

"With such talent, I'm afraid that all the young people in the capital will be overshadowed by him in the future."

The woman murmured.

As heirs to the major powers in the capital, they are direct competitors, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Both the general public and various powerful forces will compare them on a single platform.

Now that Jin Renfeng has advanced to the fourth-grade alchemist, it's as if he's overturned the card table. He's proclaiming to the world that no one in the capital can compare to him.

This puts unimaginable pressure on the younger generation as their rivals.

"What a terrifying person!"

"However, only such a peerless genius who dominates an entire generation is worthy of me!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Princess Yaoye's face.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

While still in awe, everyone quickly accepted the reality.

Representatives from many powerful factions quickly surrounded the young man, trying to befriend Jin Renfeng, while some even offered to order pills on the spot.

Fourth-grade pills are scarce even for the major powers in the capital. Now that a new alchemist has appeared, they naturally want to secure their positions in advance.

However, Jin Renfeng rejected all of these requests.

He was a member of the Yunlan Sect, and had no shortage of resources or money. Even if he refined pills, he would usually hand them over to the sect for internal consumption and auction. How could he waste time refining pills for others?

No one was annoyed by this. As far as they were concerned, as long as they could become acquainted with the high-level alchemists, they would always have the opportunity to ask for pills in the future.

In the Dou Qi Continent, alchemists are the most prestigious profession, without exception.

Anyone who needs alchemists' elixirs to heal wounds, cultivate, improve their strength, or cure illnesses requires them.

From birth to death, alchemists cannot live without elixirs, which is why they hold such a supreme position.

"Congratulations, Young Master Jin, on your advancement to the fourth-grade alchemist."

After the crowd dispersed, Princess Yaoye gracefully took a few steps, pulled the little princess to the boy's side, and offered her congratulations in a sweet voice.

"It is also thanks to your good fortune that I was able to succeed by chance."

Faced with this mature and charming woman, Jin Renfeng unusually uttered a polite remark.

"Now that you have achieved success in alchemy, would you be willing to serve as a guest advisor to the royal family?"

Princess Yaoye asked with a smile.

"Your guest?"

Jin Renfeng frowned.

"Our royal family has abundant resources and a solid foundation. As long as Your Excellency is willing to come, we will do our utmost to cultivate you."

"We can provide all the resources you had before you advanced to the sixth-grade alchemist level free of charge."

Yao Ye explained the specific benefits.

Seeing the woman in front of her like this, Nalan Yanran suddenly sensed a dangerous aura and said without thinking.

“In terms of resources, my Yunlan Sect is no less than the royal family. Senior Brother, there is no need for you to switch sides.”

"I never said I would definitely make Young Master Jin leave the sect!"

Yao Ye glanced at Nalan Yanran, raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing in her eyes, and said lightly,
"If I don't need to leave my sect, how can I become a guest advisor to the royal family?"

Nalan Yanran looked puzzled.

"If Young Master Jin is truly unwilling to leave the Yunlan Sect, he can serve as a guest minister of our royal family while remaining a disciple of the Yunlan Sect."

"In this way, you can enjoy some of the benefits of being a guest elder without leaving the sect."

Yao Ye said with a smile.

"Of course, if you are willing to leave the sect and join the royal family, that would be even better. My sister and I will not mistreat you."

As she spoke, the woman casually raised her arm, supporting her soft breasts, her waist swaying, and her long, snow-white legs peeking out from under her skirt.

Then he reached out and pulled the little princess to his side.

Two sisters, one big and one small, with similar appearances, stood together, their graceful figures complementing each other, truly more beautiful than flowers.

For a moment, everyone watching was stunned.

Yao Ye's actions were almost a blatant declaration that as long as Jin Renfeng was willing to join the royal family, she and the little princess, the two sisters, would marry into the royal family together.

"That vixen!"

Nalan Yanran was furious.

"They even used their own sister as a price; they're shameless."

Jin Renfeng was slightly surprised to see Yao Ye's statement.

He hadn't expected the other party to be so reckless.

That makes sense, though. This princess is no ordinary pretty face. As a woman who commands an army, she is a true pragmatist. Naturally, she will make use of everything available to achieve her goals.

One's own body is no exception.

"Forget it, my ambitions lie elsewhere. I only want to focus on cultivation and don't want to be bothered by complicated matters."

"I have no interest in the position of guest advisor."

Jin Renfeng waved his hand, declining the other party's offer.

His master had shown him great affection and loyalty; he could not possibly betray the sect at this time.

Even if it's just a part-time job, the royal family is not a good place to go, as it is a force that is hostile to the Yunlan Sect.

"That's such a shame!"

Yao Ye sighed.

Even if it's just a part-time job, she's confident she can win them over to the royal family.

But now that the other party has rejected all her offers, it means she has lost her chance to win them over.

Without even a chance to strike, no matter how skillful the method, it's useless.

Seeing the woman in front of him with a regretful expression, Jin Renfeng found it amusing.

He never expected that a mere fourth-grade alchemist could cause the royal family to pay such a high price.

If they knew he already possessed the ability to refine fifth-grade alchemists, I wonder how crazy these forces would become.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Having completed the assessment, Jin Renfeng did not linger and immediately prepared to take his leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, President Fama offered to personally escort the two of them.

Jin Renfeng did not refuse the old man's suggestion.

Along the way, Guild Master Fama personally held his arm and warmly escorted him to the guild gate.

"Thank you so much, President Fama, for seeing me off all the way!!"

Upon reaching the carriage, Jin Renfeng bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite. As the president of the Alchemist Guild, I naturally have to pay more attention to a talented young man like you."

Fama narrowed his aged eyes, a slight smile appeared on his aged face, and his lips moved slightly.

"But little one, remember to be careful on your way back!"

"You know how many people are watching you right now."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior! I will remember it!"

Upon hearing these words, which carried a warning undertone, Jin Renfeng felt a chill run down his spine and thanked them.

He pulled his junior sister onto the carriage, and the wheels rolled on as they drove away from the Alchemist Guild.

On the guild rooftop!
Gazing at the white-clad figure boarding the carriage below, Jia Xingtian's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
