Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 49 Blackrock City

Crossing the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Jue departed from the eastern part of the Monster Mountain Range. The nearest city to him was a large city located in the eastern province of the Gama Empire.

Its scale is even more magnificent than that of Utan City. In terms of overall strength, this city called Black Rock City ranks among the top in all the large cities of the Gama Empire.

In a mountain forest near Blackrock City, Xiao Jue landed and walked to Blackrock City. The city's huge walls were entirely built from neat blocks of black rock.

The city walls here once withstood the combined attack of two Dou Wang level experts without being shaken, which shows how strong the defense of the city walls is.

After resting for the night, Xiao Jue went to the Alchemist Guild the next day, not to take the alchemist level test, but to obtain the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Blackrock City truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top cities in the Gama Empire. Although it was early morning, the streets were still bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter.

And occasionally, the sound of guards marching in orderly formation, their armor clanging against each other, rings out crisply in the morning air, like a morning bell.

Xiao Jue turned down several rather long streets, and after a long while, he slowly stopped and looked up at the magnificent building that appeared before him.

This house has a rather unique design. Its overall shape is roughly like a medicine cauldron. Around the house, there are windows that resemble the openings for the fire in a medicine cauldron. On the high roof, a huge cauldron lid lies down, covering the room.

My gaze fell upon the building, where a pale purple sandalwood plaque bore five ancient characters, their strokes faintly blurred, shimmering with a soft glow.

"The Alchemist Guild!"

As he approached the entrance, two fully armed men blocked his way, their voices booming, "Young man, this is the Alchemist's Guild. Do you want to go in? Do you have a letter of introduction from your mentor?"

"I have this." Xiao Jue took out a badge and said, "I'm here to see Master Otto."

They asked in surprise, "Are you a disciple of Dan Wang Guhe?"

A fragrant breeze suddenly wafted from behind, and a petite figure hurriedly stopped beside Xiao Jue, turned around, and said sweetly, "Teacher, hurry up!"

"Sigh, girl, why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning? That old man Frankland might not even be up yet." An aged voice sounded helplessly from behind.

Xiao Jue turned his head slightly and glanced at the old man who was walking slowly with a lazy gait. His eyes darted around and finally settled on the badge on the old man's chest. On the surface of the ancient medicine cauldron, four silver ripples were carefully drawn!

Looking at the woman in purple standing not far away, she was probably in her early twenties. She had a pretty face and a slightly petite figure.

However, her development was quite surprising. Her curves were prominent and her body was full and mature. She wore a set of tight-fitting purple alchemist's clothes, which gave her a noble uniform look.

After all, alchemists' attire cannot be worn casually. However, although she was wearing alchemist's clothes, there were no badges indicating her rank on her chest.

The woman had long, black hair tied up with a purple ribbon that cascaded down to her shapely buttocks. As she swayed her hair, it gently patted her round, pert buttocks, making a soft, low sound that was like a cat's claws, constantly scratching at the hearts of the men around her whose gazes were somewhat inappropriate.

The woman scoffed at the two burly men blocking the doorway, "Get out of the way, is it fun to block the way?"

"Hehe, Miss Linfei, are you here today to take the exam to become a first-grade alchemist? Master Otto truly lives up to his reputation as one of the strongest alchemists in Blackrock City. In just three short years, he has enabled you to become a real alchemist."

Although the woman's voice was somewhat impolite, the two burly men quickly smiled apologetically and stepped aside to make way for her.

"Don't worry, once I officially become an alchemist, I will definitely treat you well!"

The woman smiled and then casually glanced at the incomparably handsome Xiao Jue beside her. Seeing the badge in Xiao Jue's hand, a look of shock flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "You are a disciple of Pill King Gu He, and you wish to see my teacher?"

"Gu He isn't even worthy to be my disciple." Xiao Jue sneered. How come in this Jia Ma Empire, it seems that sixth-grade alchemists are all associated with Gu He?

The old man finally walked over lazily, looked at Xiao Jue, and said in a deep voice, "Young man, if you can't give an explanation today, I can't pretend I didn't hear your insults to Dan Wang Guhe."

"Master Otto!" Upon seeing the old man, the two burly guards immediately bowed respectfully to him.

"So, your disciple also spoke rudely, treating me as Gu He's disciple. Isn't that also an offense to me?" Xiao Jue raised his hand slightly, and a golden flame appeared.

Releasing his soul pressure, Xiao Jue said, "What, as a sixth-grade alchemist, shouldn't I be treated as just another sixth-grade alchemist?"

Master Otto was slightly startled and hurriedly said, "Linfei, apologize to the master."

The latest novel is first published here!

The woman hurriedly and respectfully said, "Master, Linfei's words were offensive, please forgive me."

Two guards beside him bowed respectfully to apologize to Xiao Jue, but Xiao Jue waved his hand, not caring much about the offense of these insignificant people.

They regarded Xiao Jue as a true sixth-grade alchemist, even though Xiao Jue was only a fifth-grade alchemist. But what could they do when he only had the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist?

Master Otto cupped his hands and asked, "What business do you have with me, Master?"

Xiao Jue nodded and asked, "I heard that Gu He's elder brother lives in Black Rock City. I'd like to know where he lives."

"That fellow Gutt?" Master Otto frowned and asked, "What did he do to offend you, sir?"

Xiao Jue shook his head. "I just want to make a deal with him. My disciple Xiao Yan wants to refine a strange fire and wants the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. I heard that Gu He's brother has collected a lot of treasures, among which there may be the Ice Spirit Cold Spring."

Otto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "Then why don't you stay with us at the Alchemist Guild for a while, Master? Today I will accompany my disciple to take the alchemist assessment, and then I will take you to find Gutt."

"Alright." Xiao Jue nodded and followed Master Otto and Lin Fei into the Alchemist Guild. Looking at Lin Fei's back, a lewd glint flashed in Xiao Jue's eyes. He had never been with a female alchemist before, but there were two in Blackrock City today.
