Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 32 The Alchemists' Guild of Blackrock City

Blackrock City.

Hun Qinghao and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had transformed into human form, stood in front of a huge cauldron-shaped building.

"Is this the human alchemists' guild? It's quite unique; you can tell what they do at a glance," Da Zi said, arms crossed.

"Let's go in and take a look." Hun Qinghao swaggered in first, showing no guilt whatsoever for not being an alchemist.

"Hey, wait for me!" Da Zi called out, reaching out her hand, and quickly followed her inside.

Inside the main hall of the Alchemist Guild, rows of alchemy cauldrons were placed on both sides.

Although it was Hun Qinghao's first time entering the Alchemist Guild, she wasn't curious at all and walked straight toward the inner hall's main gate without looking to the side.

However, the human-form Amethyst Winged Lion King, also known as Da Zi, was not as calm as his master. Like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, he looked around and found everything strange and wonderful.

"Little girl, do you want to go in? Do you have a letter of introduction from your teacher?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was a strikingly beautiful young girl, the young guard at the door softened his tone and asked gently.

"A letter of introduction from your teacher?" Hun Qinghao frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of the soul in the ring that always referred to herself as her teacher. She didn't say the words "I don't have a teacher" out loud, and only said lightly, "I don't have a letter of introduction."

"Who is your teacher, little sister?" the guard asked again.

"Hehe, Xiao Qing'er, you can announce my name!" Yao Chen never missed any opportunity to make Hun Qing admit that he was her teacher, and he seized every chance to pry.

But Hun Qinghao wasn't fooled and retorted, "In this small place, we might not even have heard of you, Venerable Medicine."

"Besides, aren't you afraid Han Feng will come looking for you because of that smell?"

"But we still have Xiao Qing'er here. I don't believe that rebellious disciple can beat you." Yao Chen's reply was very witty, and his voice was calm and unhurried.

Upon hearing this, Hun Qing smiled and said that she really didn't take Han Feng seriously.

Feeling better after being coaxed, Hun Qinghao wore a sweet smile.

"My teacher..." she drawled, and under Yao Chen's expectant gaze, slowly uttered a sentence containing a name, "...an old man named Yao Lao, have you heard of him?"

Yao Chen was overjoyed, while the guard was stunned.

"Master Yao?" The guard racked his brains for a moment before finally speaking, "I don't think I've ever heard of him."

"Sigh, it's normal that you haven't heard of him. The old man has been gone for decades, and even I never saw what he looked like when he was alive," Hun Qinghao said with a shake of his head and a sigh, feigning regret.

Yao Chen: "..."

Although...but...he really did perish, but when the little girl said it, it just felt a bit off. It felt like the little girl was implying something about him.

The guard was taken aback, stammering, "Little sister, you...please accept my condolences!"

Yao Chen was furious. "What are you mourning for? I'm not quite dead yet! Wait... wait until I'm resurrected..."

"Shut up!" Hun Qing grabbed his left thumb and his voice entered the ring. Yao Chen reluctantly shut up.

"Little sister, what rank of alchemist are you?" the guard asked, adjusting his demeanor.

Hun Qinghao: "I am not an alchemist."

"What? You're not an alchemist?" The guard's eyes widened. For the first time, he found the pretty and cute little girl difficult to deal with. What was she doing at the Alchemist Guild if she wasn't an alchemist?

"What, does your Alchemist Guild only allow alchemists to come? Can't others come?" The girl tilted her head slightly, and as soon as her clear voice fell, the pressure of a five-star Dou Wang emanated from her body.

The guard, whose cultivation level was low, was immediately shaken by the immense pressure, his face turned pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. It's an honor for our Blackrock City Alchemist Guild to have you here, Miss!"

A cheerful voice rang out, and a rather plump alchemist walked out of the gate, wearing a badge of a fourth-grade alchemist on his chest.

Upon seeing this person, Hun Qinghao suppressed his imposing aura, a smile returning to his face. With his hands behind his back, he said with a grin, "I'm not an alchemist, but I should still be able to join the Alchemist Guild, right?"

The guard wiped the sweat from his brow and respectfully greeted the newcomer, "Master Otto."

Master Otto waved to him, signaling him to relax, then turned to Hun Qinghao with a warm smile, "Of course, may I ask how you are addressed, Miss?"

"My name is Qinghao." She wanted to say her full name, but after thinking about it, she decided it was best not to reveal herself completely in public, so she only said her given name.

"Miss Qing, our Alchemist Guild warmly welcomes you. Please come in." Master Otto naturally used a respectful title for Hun Qing.

Although the girl in front of me looks to be only a teenager, she is already a five-star Dou Wang at this age. What terrifying talent that is!

The young sect leader of Yunlan Sect is far inferior to the girl in front of him.

The power behind this young girl is probably even stronger than that of the Yunlan Sect; the Alchemist Guild cannot afford to offend her.

"Thank you for leading the way, Master Otto." Hun Qinghao smiled slightly, then called out to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who was still curiously looking at the pill cauldron, "Big Amethyst, let's go."

Amethyst Winged Lion King: "They've arrived!"

Master Otto felt a tremor in his heart upon seeing the massive and ferocious Amethyst Winged Lion King.

This must be a Dou Huang powerhouse!

Nalan Yanran of the Yunlan Sect doesn't receive the same treatment as someone who can be protected by a Douhuang-level expert.

The three entered through the gate, and Master Otto led the way while asking, "Miss Qing isn't an alchemist, so what brings you to the Alchemist's Guild?"

Hun Qing never beats around the bush when she wants something, and says directly, "I've heard that your Alchemist Guild has some rare treasures that I'd like to buy and collect."

"Uh... our Blackrock City Alchemists' Guild does indeed possess some extremely valuable items, priceless..."

Before Master Otto could finish speaking, Hun Qinghao pulled out a purple-gold card and said generously, "Whatever I want, no matter how many gold coins it costs, you can swipe it as much as you like."

"If you don't want gold coins, I can exchange them with pills."

Looking at Hun Qinghao's nonchalant demeanor, Master Otto tremblingly took the purple-gold card he had never seen before from her hand. "Miss Qing, rest assured, you can choose any of the rare and precious materials from the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild."

Master Otto led Hun Qing and the other person to a room and said he would go and ask the guild master for permission. After he returned, he would take the two of them to the Alchemist Guild's treasury.

Master Otto used the key to open the gate and led Soul Lord inside. The Amethyst Winged Lion King was also curious about the human treasure trove, so he followed them in.

"Da Zi, you'd better watch your mouth and not sneak any food later," Hun Qinghao warned telepathically.

"Don't worry, Master, I promise it won't..."
