Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 58 Second-Rank Alchemist

Although this was Xiao Yan's first time refining a prescription for an assessment, he easily grasped its essence thanks to his extraordinary comprehension.

Combined with outstanding flame control, the extraction of various medicinal materials is handled perfectly.

If it were a second-grade alchemist with extensive experience in alchemy, Frank and Otto wouldn't be surprised by such a performance. However, the guy in front of them was only sixteen years old, just coming of age...

At their age, they are still striving to cultivate their fighting spirit, and they can't even distinguish the medicinal herbs.

If Frank and Otto knew that Xiao Yan was only eleven years old, I wonder if they would be shocked.

"Could it be that you, little guy, started cultivating battle qi and learning about medicinal herbs while you were still in your mother's womb?" Frank looked at Xiao Yan as if he were a monster.

The old doctor nodded slightly in deep agreement, "That's pretty much it."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and remained silent.

Fortunately, he slightly exaggerated his age, otherwise he would have been dissected.

Having cultivated Dou Qi for many years, Xiao Yan has a tall and straight figure. When he puts on the special clothes of a second-grade alchemist, he not only does not lose his original elegant temperament, but also gains a sense of composure and restraint.

As they watched the group of people walk out of the gate, Lin Fei and Xue Mei's gazes swept past their future teacher and settled on Xiao Yan.

To be precise, it's on the ancient medicine cauldron pattern on his chest!

Two ripples, like mercury, undulated slightly, as if they were alive.

"A second-grade alchemist, he really succeeded?!"

Linfei and Xuemei were struck dumb, muttering to themselves.

Walking gracefully to Xiao Yan's side, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the lifelike medicine cauldron with great curiosity.

Frank, somewhat exasperated, shouted at the two, "What time is it? Still standing here in a daze? Have you finished your training tasks for today?!"

Little Fairy Doctor shrank back in fright at the loud voice. This alchemist has quite a temper!

Otto smiled at Xiao Yan: "You need so many things, we need to investigate carefully. Come with us."

Watching the group leading the way out of the hall, Linfei turned her back on them with dissatisfaction and muttered, "Favoritism!"

"Let's go, stop complaining. They have the right to be favored by the teacher. If you're not satisfied, you should go and take the second-grade alchemist exam right away," Xue Mei said with a light laugh as she got up and walked out of the hall.

"Wait until I become a Fighter!" Lin Fei snorted and followed.

In the tidy study, Xiao Yan quietly watched Otto look up information.

When Frank questioned him about information, he naturally brushed it off by saying that his teacher had asked him to.

Hermits usually have very peculiar tastes, and Frank didn't want to pry into them.

After waiting quietly for quite a while, Otto finally walked over slowly, carrying a thick, ancient book, and said with a rather troubled expression:

"You little rascal, you really know how to make things difficult for people. Blood Lotus Essence and Tier 3 Magic Core are easy to find; you can buy them at the auction house with some gold coins. But Ice Spirit Flame Grass and Ice Spirit Cold Spring are priceless items."

"What do you, a fire-attribute alchemist, need these icy things for?" Otto scratched his head and asked.

Xiao Yan followed Frank's lead, blaming everything on Yao Lao: "I'm not quite sure what you want, Master."

"If it really is what your teacher wants, then you can try going to that strange guy." Otto looked at Xiao Yan and smiled.

"Old man...you're not talking about that treasure-obsessed old pervert, are you?" Frank, his brows furrowed, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Otto chuckled and said, "Besides that old pervert who loves all sorts of rare and precious herbs, who else could it be?"

"However, if you're not prepared to bleed a lot, it's probably impossible to get what you need from that guy. I wonder what your teacher's collection is like?"

"If that doesn't work..." Otto looked at Xiao Yan, chuckled, and suddenly changed the subject.

"My future disciple, Linfei, is that girl in the purple dress from earlier. She has exceptional looks and an impressive background. How about she become your wife? If you become my disciple's husband, even if the city lord and I have to go bankrupt, we will exchange your things from that old man Gu Te."

Frank glared at him, his beard bristling: "You old geezer, spending too much time with that perverted old man Gutt has made you a bit frivolous too."

"That little Linfei is mischievous and clever; she's not the type to settle down. If I had to choose a wife, my disciple Xuemei would be much better. She's gentle and well-mannered, and as the president of the Alchemist Guild, my collection isn't just for show!"

Little Fairy Doctor thought the president of the Alchemist Guild was a good person, but she didn't expect him to be cut from the same cloth as the vice president.

With her jade-like hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, Little Fairy Doctor pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Yan out of the corner of her eye.

Lin Fei and Xue Mei, even as women, are flawless. I wonder what Xiao Yan will decide?

Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly. What was this? Was it a search for a son-in-law from among those listed on the imperial examination?

"I need a day to contact the teacher. I think the teacher will come up with an item that will satisfy Gutt," Xiao Yan said calmly.

Otto sighed regretfully, "Alright, you can come find me anytime you're ready. As for the Blood Lotus Essence and the Tier 3 Magic Core, I can go directly to the auction house and ask the manager there to get one for you, which will save you time from the auction."

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Otto," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Hehe, since you're registered with our Blackrock City Alchemist Guild, you're basically one of us. This little favor is nothing..." Otto shook his head and chuckled casually. "Little guy, really don't you want to think about that suggestion you just made?"

Otto, still unwilling to give up, said, "Linfei is the city lord's daughter. Marrying her would save us twenty years of hard work."

"Xiao Yan is still young and wants to make his own way in the world." Glancing at the menacing Frank beside him, Xiao Yan, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, pulled Little Fairy Doctor up and took his leave.

Smiling, Otto escorted Xiao Yan out of the Alchemist Guild. Watching Xiao Yan's figure gradually disappear, Otto smiled and murmured, "Sigh, still too young."

"The help from the president of an alchemist's guild is something that ordinary people can hardly imagine." Frank nodded in deep agreement.

Otto paused for a moment, then retorted, "Xue Mei may have a good temperament, but her background is too poor, she can't compare to Lin Fei at all."

Frank was naturally unconvinced, and the two old men immediately started arguing about which of their future disciples was more outstanding.

Listening to the two arguing, the old doctor couldn't help but laugh and said, "These two old geezers are really having wild ideas."

"Their disciples are far inferior to your real fiancée, Nalan Yanran, not to mention that little girl with a terrifying background."
