Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 23 Assessment

Seeing the crowd discussing this intensely, Lin Feng didn't offer any further explanation. He led Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor inside amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.

Lin Feng and his two companions wandered through the guild, where they saw that the vast guild was divided into several areas.

There's a trading area where you can trade any medicinal herbs you need, as long as you have enough gold coins. Of course, within the Alchemist Guild, gold coins are only the lowest tier of currency; true alchemists have always disdained using gold coins for transactions.

However, if you have enough gold coins, these seemingly arrogant alchemists will briefly show you a different side of themselves.

Of course, Lin Feng, as a transmigrator and reborn person, doesn't have these problems.

Beyond the bustling trading area lies the rest area, but we'll leave that aside for now.

Continuing forward, Lin Feng and his companions came to the teaching and exchange area. This place was much quieter, with alchemists sitting in a circle around them. From time to time, an alchemist would step forward to share his experience in refining pills or share some rare and precious natural materials.

If someone takes a liking to the medicinal herbs that occasionally appear on the platform, the discussion area will briefly turn into a trading area. Of course, this is only a rare occurrence; most of the time, it's just a place to exchange experiences.

Lin Feng had only listened for a short while, but he already felt he had gained a lot and that the trip was worthwhile. He couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, the decision to leave Qingshan Town was the right one. In just a short time, I feel that my foundation has been greatly strengthened."

"It seems I can come here often in the future," Lin Feng thought to himself.

"Young friend, how are you feeling? Have you gained anything?"

Suddenly, an old voice reached Lin Feng's ears, causing him to pause in surprise as he was studying diligently.

Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor were the first to react, gently tugging at his hand.

"President Fama."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the group of people who were talking stood up and bowed to him.

Immediately afterwards, an alchemist with the mark of a third-grade alchemist on his chest stepped forward, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Guild Master, what are your orders?"

"Nothing much, nothing much, hahaha, I just wanted to meet this young friend who can summon beast fire." An old man with white hair and a youthful face stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Young friend, this way please." Fa Ma waved to the third-grade alchemist, then said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was somewhat taken aback by Fa Ma's directness, but not alarmed. In this vast Alchemist Guild, even if Fa Ma wanted to do something, he would have to consider the guild's reputation.

After all, the Gama Empire isn't solely controlled by the Alchemist Guild.

As Fa Ma and Lin Feng walked through the guild, passersby would occasionally greet Fa Ma. They were slightly surprised to see Lin Feng and the other two beside Fa Ma, but no one asked any questions.

"May I ask which master you studied under, young friend? To possess such powerful soul force and unfathomable strength at such a young age is truly rare in the Gama Empire," Fa Ma asked with a smile as they walked.

Looking at Fama's slightly narrowed eyes, Lin Feng thought to himself, "Old fox!"

"Hahaha, Pharaoh, as the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire, you are well-informed and knowledgeable. Why don't you take a guess?" Lin Feng did not back down an inch in the face of Pharaoh's probing.

Seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, Fa Ma couldn't help but think to himself, "Little fox."

As if they were of one mind, the two glanced at each other and felt a chill run down their spines. They both subtly turned their gazes away.

Seemingly in the name of the host, after walking for a while, Fama spoke first.

"I heard earlier that you revealed your beast fire, but you didn't show your alchemist level badge. Could it be that you haven't taken the alchemist exam yet?" Fa Ma asked, his tone tinged with doubt.

"Oh? Does that mean only alchemists recognized by the guild are qualified?" Faced with this old fox's probing yet again, Lin Feng once again turned the tables on him.

"Haha, no, but how about we take the test this time? Having an alchemist badge will make things much easier wherever you go."

Faced with the old fox's repeated probing, Lin Feng stopped being coy and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Chairman."

"Haha, that's to be expected." Fa Ma waved his hand, then led Lin Feng to another location.

At the end of the corner, another area of ​​the Alchemist Guild—the assessment area—appeared before Lin Feng and his companions.

Upon reaching a registration desk, Fa Ma turned to Lin Feng and asked, "It was my oversight that I did not know your name, young friend."

Lin Feng stepped forward and wrote in the register.

Lin Feng, eighteen years old, after a moment's hesitation, wrote down two words: "Old Wu".

Upon seeing this, Fa Ma quickly searched among the high-level alchemists he knew for the name Old Wu. After failing to find him, he was slightly taken aback.

He quickly realized what was happening, looked at Lin Feng, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh, President, is there a problem?"

"No, that's not true. But young friend, are you sure you want to take the third-grade alchemist exam?" Fa Ma pointed to the exam level on the register and sincerely reminded him this time.

"Young friend, you may not know this, but the medicinal herbs used in the assessment are provided free of charge by the Alchemist Guild. Therefore, to prevent alchemists from using the assessment for practice and wasting herbs, the guild stipulates that those who fail the assessment cannot take it again within one year. I wonder if you understand, young friend?"

As soon as Fa Ma finished speaking, Lin Feng calmly waved his hand, "The guild leader doesn't need to worry about that. As for third-grade pills, not to mention some extremely rare ones, we are confident in our ability to produce most third-grade lads."

"Since you are so confident, young friend, then please!" Fa Ma waved his hand, and a waiter immediately stepped forward to lead Lin Feng to the assessment room.

"As for the two young ladies, should they wait here, or come with me to observe?"

"Let's wait here. We believe our brother will succeed," Qinglin said calmly, her tone mirroring Lin Feng's.

If Lin Feng were to see Qing Lin at this moment, he would be greatly surprised. The usually obedient and adorable Qing Lin in front of him could actually be so mature.

"A third-grade elixir, the Awakening Pill? This is a free prescription." After carefully examining the prescription, Lin Feng looked at the two sealed packets of medicinal herbs on the table. "Two chances? That makes sense."

With a flick of his wrist across his storage ring, a five-mouthed medicine cauldron appeared in the room. Immediately afterward, a ball of beast fire emerged from Lin Feng's palm, and with a flick of his wrist, the beast fire flowed into the cauldron through its opening.

Outside the arena, Fa Ma, who was personally conducting the assessment, watched the rising beast fire and thought to himself, "It really is beast fire!"

Having not been back to school for ten months, I guess I caught a cold from the change in environment. I sneezed a hundred and eighty times, but I still managed to squeeze out the recommendation vote.
