Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

There are only two options: weapon crafting and alchemy. After thinking for a moment, she decided to take the path of alchemy, since it would not require her to travel around. She was rather socially awkward and preferred to stay in one place.

Yao Feiran did not become an apprentice. If she wanted to enter the Pill Hall, she only needed to take an exam, which could be taken on the last day of each month.

The assessment mainly consists of two items.

One test is a comprehensive knowledge of herbs for low-grade alchemists, and the other is a practical demonstration of how to decoct basic herbs into a medicinal liquid.

Yao Feiran went to the archives building to cram on herbal knowledge. This kind of basic information is basically free, but there were still more than ten books. Yao Feiran studied for three days and three nights. Fortunately, martial artists have enough qi and blood, so staying up all night for several nights was not a big problem.

Danyao Hall

When Yao Feiran entered, she found that a considerable number of them were menial workers. The Pill Hall did not have high requirements for martial arts aptitude. If one was lucky enough to be noticed by the head of the Pill Hall and taken as a disciple, it would be a meteoric rise.

When she went in, she actually saw Yao Xingzhou again, and he was chatting quite well with a senior brother from the Pill Hall.

Yao Xingzhou also showed a look of surprise. He had come to collect the pills and happened to run into this younger sister.

"Senior Brother Ye, she is my sister. She is usually eccentric and disrespectful to me, her older brother. I'm afraid that coming to the Pill Hall will ruin your plans."

Ye Yayuan revealed a knowing expression: "Junior Brother Yao, don't worry, I will definitely not let someone like that in."

Although Yao Feiran couldn't hear them talking, she had a bad feeling. After the first test was over, she quickly handed in her herbal medicine test paper and saw Yao Suran's figure.

Yao Suran looked much more confident than before, with a determined look in her eyes. She glanced at Yao Feiran and quickly looked away.

"Yao Feiran, you fail!"

As a loud voice rang out, Yao Feiran was visibly stunned: "Impossible! Unless I misspelled the name, how could I not pass?"

Although the voice was soft, there were martial artists around, and soon someone laughed loudly: "Senior Sister Yao, although you are already a mid-grade martial artist, only those with talent can practice alchemy. You are still too confident."

When it came to identifying medicinal herbs, Yao Feiran had memorized all the herbs within the entire exam scope. She had a photographic memory, so there was no way she would fail.

Yao Feiran said to the people in the Pill Hall, "Senior brothers and sisters, could you please give me my test paper?"

At this moment, Ye Yayuan stepped forward: "The Pill Hall is too busy to find you the exam paper. Are you questioning the fairness of the Pill Hall?"

Yao Feiran knew the reason as soon as she saw Ye Yayuan. It must have been Yao Xingzhou who did it. He usually acted like a gentleman, but she never expected him to do such a thing behind her back.

Even if you were to do it, shouldn't it be directed at Yao Suran? Then you get slapped in the face by Yao Suran, so how is that targeting her?!

Yao Feiran was also helpless. On the surface, she and Yao Xingzhou were in the same boat, but his actions were probably heading towards a complete breakdown in relations.

At this moment, a woman walked over, her eyes and brows carrying a cold and aloof expression.

"What happened?"

Ye Yayuan respectfully said, "Elder Chen, this person is questioning the grading process and wants to find his own exam paper."

Chen Shiyi frowned slightly: "How dare you question the Pill Hall! You may leave. Remember this person's name and never hire him again."

Yao Feiran's face darkened. The other person looked to be only in her thirties, but was actually over a hundred years old and was an elder of the Alchemy Hall. With her words, she had basically eliminated any possibility of Yao Feiran entering the Alchemy Hall.

It seems the only option is to use the training equipment.

"Elder Chen, I acted rashly just now and unintentionally offended you. I hope you will forgive me. I will leave immediately!"

Yao Feiran turned and left without looking back.

Back in the courtyard, a feeling of frustration welled up inside me, but after agonizing over it for a while, I let it go.

"What bad luck, even someone like me with connections got defeated by connections."

Yao Gu was an eighth-rank martial artist who could have been an elder, but his health was damaged, so he had to leave the sect in disappointment. With such a father, Yao Feiran was basically someone no one dared to mess with.

Then he ran into Yao Xingzhou, that char siu.

The next day, the sect competition began. Yao Feiran showed little interest. The Fate-Reversing Pearl told her to keep a low profile, probably because there were some villains causing trouble. She deliberately lost to her opponent in the final round, took her reward, and left.

After the competition ended, Yao Feiran received the results from the jade screen.

Yao Suran, a third-grade martial artist, defeated Yao Xingzhou, a fourth-grade martial artist, and was taken in as a disciple by Bai Xinli, a martial artist at the Emperor Realm.

Bai Xinli is also a royal-level alchemist. The royal level is a realm that surpasses high-grade martial artists, capable of tearing through space instantly and traversing thousands of miles.

boom!

The door was pushed open roughly, and Yao Feiran looked up to see Yao Xingzhou standing there.

"Yao Feiran, Yao Suran's high-level weapon, was it given to her by the clan? Why did Father give it to her but not to me?"

Yao Feiran rolled her eyes: "She's also Father's daughter, isn't it normal for Father to give it to her? But I haven't seen this weapon in the clan's treasury, so she probably found it herself."

"She's only a third-rank official."

"Even though I'm only a third-rank official, I still managed to defeat you despite being a higher-ranking one."

It's not uncommon for ordinary people to fight against opponents of higher levels, but it's extremely rare for someone of lower level to defeat someone of middle level, especially since Yao Xingzhou is about to break through to the fifth level.

Yao Xingzhou is a true disciple; this is utterly disgraceful.

"You—" Yao Xingzhou roared in fury, "Yao Feiran, you and I are of the same lineage! Do you intend to side with that good-for-nothing Yao Suran?!"

"You're telling me about a lineage now? When I went to the Pill Hall for the assessment, if you hadn't interfered, would I have failed?"

Moreover, it is rumored that Yao Suran was chosen as a disciple because of the unusual phenomena that occurred during the alchemy process, which is why she caught Bai Xinli's eye.

"Since you returned to the sect, you haven't been as respectful to me as you used to be. I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but you still haven't learned your lesson."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. It's pointless, and getting angry at me won't change anything."

Yao Xingzhou's eyes grew colder and colder, gradually revealing a greedy look: "Yao Suran must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter, otherwise she wouldn't have become so much stronger in such a short time. I'm about to break through to the fifth rank. You should get close to her and find out what kind of extraordinary encounter it is, and then we can discuss it further."

Yao Feiran was about to refuse when she remembered that Yao Xingzhou was probably looking for a punching bag in his current state. If the two of them started fighting and Yao Xingzhou was defeated again, she would probably become famous. The Fate-Defying Pearl told her to keep a low profile.

"I see."

Yao Xingzhou's expression relaxed a little: "By the way, give me the reward you got from the competition. It will increase my chances of breaking through."

"It's all used up."

"It hasn't been long, and you've already used it all up?"

Yao Feiran took out a few pills, stuffed them into her mouth, and then ran towards the most crowded Internal Affairs Hall.

Yao Xingzhou didn't chase after him in the end, probably because he knew it wasn't appropriate to do anything in public.

After that, Yao Xingzhou also went into seclusion, and Yao Feiran went to the weapon refining hall to make money.

Inside the weapon-refining hall, the spiritual fire burns continuously year-round, and the room is mostly filled with burly men wearing only shorts, wielding iron hammers and smashing things forcefully.

Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw Yao Feiran approaching.

"Junior sister, what brings you here? If you're here to buy weapons, you can do so at the trading hall."

"...I want to learn weapon crafting."
