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

Chapter 50 My soul is empty

As you enter the Alchemist Guild, a faint medicinal fragrance wafts towards you, making you feel refreshed and relaxed.

There weren't many people inside the hall; only a handful were quietly going about their business. As if they heard footsteps, some of them looked up, saw Master Otto, and respectfully bowed.

Master Otto nodded to them and walked directly to a gate. Outside the gate, four burly men, fully armed, were guarding the place.

"Master Otto." They came forward, bowed, and greeted him.

Master Otto nodded and smiled, "Today, Linfei will be taking the alchemist assessment. And this is...?"

Xiao Jue said, "My name is Hun Xuzi."

"This is Master Hun Xuzi, a sixth-grade alchemist."

The group bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Lord Hunxuzi."

Upon entering, the bright lights illuminated the spacious hall as if it were daytime. At this moment, a large crowd was gathered in the hall, and occasional whispers and laughter could be heard.

There is also a fourth-grade alchemist here, namely Falkland, the president of the Blackrock City Alchemist Guild.

In the center of the hall, a dozen or so stone platforms, separated from each other, were carefully set up, and various kinds of alchemy equipment were placed on them.

At this moment, seven young people were standing impatiently inside these stone platforms. Linfei said something to Master Otto and hurriedly walked over.

Frank looked at Xiao Jue beside Master Otto and asked, "Who is this?"

Otto smiled and said, "This is Master Hun Xuzi, a sixth-grade alchemist."

"Greetings, Master." Frank paid no attention to Xiao Jue's appearance and bowed respectfully.

"Mm." Xiao Jue nodded and stood there silently.

Otto glanced at the hourglass on the table, then turned to Frank beside him and asked, "Falkland, where's Snow Fairy? Why hasn't she come out yet? The assessment is almost over!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, this is Xue Mei's first assessment. Of course she has to be fully prepared." With a wave of his hand, Frank looked at Otto, who was waiting impatiently, and a smile appeared on his aged face.

Upon hearing this, Otto curled his lip and snorted, "There are still ten minutes left. If you don't come out soon, even if you are the president, you can't extend the waiting time for the assessment without a reason."

Otto couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't think I don't know. Back then, when you secretly gave Xue Mei extra lessons during her assessment, she still blew up the medicine cauldron."

Frank shook his head and laughed, "Linfei was just causing trouble when she first took the assessment two years ago, okay? She almost blew up the medicine furnace back then."

A faint voice, tinged with a hint of coldness, suddenly rang out from behind.

"Teacher, I'm sorry I'm late."

The sudden, icy, delicate voice was like the crisp, ethereal sound of snow rocks striking each other on a snow-capped mountain, quite melodious. At least after the sound rang out, at least half of the young people in the hall turned their slightly burning gazes toward the direction from which the sound came.

Xiao Jue gazed at the silver-robed woman who walked gracefully through the gate, his eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

At the entrance stood a tall, slender woman with eyes and brows as clear as a cold spring on a snow-capped mountain, a delicate face, long, slender eyebrows, and a graceful figure, dressed in a tight-fitting silver robe.

The silver clothing complemented her warm, jade-like skin, giving the woman an undeniable, unique, metallic, and icy charm. What surprised people most was that this woman in silver robes actually had long, waist-length silver hair.

This silver color wasn't the pale silver that mutated due to some kind of illness; it was as soft as silver threads, drifting and swaying, which gave the woman in the silver robe a strange allure.

Compared to her, the woman named Linfei lacked that ethereal quality, especially her soft, lustrous silver hair, which made some women feel a pang of jealousy.

The woman in the silver robe walked slowly up, passing by Xiao Jue without glancing to either side, and headed straight for Frank.

Standing to the side, Xiao Jue lightly sniffed the faint fragrance left behind by her, and inwardly smiled and exclaimed, "Exquisite!"

"Teacher!" Approaching Frank, the woman in the silver robe smiled faintly on her delicate face. Her smile, which lasted for a moment, was like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, leaving people in awe.

"Hehe, you've finally arrived. That old guy Otto has been waiting impatiently." Frank smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his proud student with gentle eyes.

"Master Otto!" The woman in the silver robe turned her head slightly and gave a slight bow to Otto, who was rolling his eyes to the side.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Snowy Girl is still so polite, much more so than me..." Otto nodded with a smile, but when he turned around and saw his student's pouting lips, he shook his head and quickly corrected himself, "Ahem, alright, alright, since you're here, let's get started."

Nodding slightly, Xue Mei walked onto the stone platform under everyone's gaze. There was only an empty platform between her and Lin Fei.

Their eyes met, and sparks flew between them, suggesting that things weren't entirely harmonious between them.

Lin Fei gently patted the uniform medicine cauldron in front of her with her delicate hand, then pouted and snorted, "Hmph, don't let it explode again later. It's okay if you fail, just don't bother me."

Xue Mei smiled faintly and said, "I think even without interference, your chances of failure are still quite high."

Although she may appear somewhat cold on the surface, she still finds it difficult to remain completely calm in the face of her rival who has been competing with her for several years.

The alchemist assessment below began. Master Otto looked at Xiao Jue and couldn't help but ask, "Master Hun Xuzi, that guy Gu Te is obsessed with treasures. If you want to get the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from him, you will definitely have to give up some precious treasures. Otherwise, he will not be willing to exchange with you."

He was still worried that if Xiao Jue robbed Gu Te, they wouldn't be able to bear the wrath of Gu He.

Xiao Jue didn't care about Gu Te's other treasures. He didn't lack those things, such as medicinal herbs. Gu Yuan had given him enough herbs to help him become an eighth-grade alchemist. Xiao Jue cared more about treasures that could improve his strength.

He took out a bottle of companion amethyst source and handed it to Master Otto, saying, "This is the companion amethyst source of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Master Otto, please exchange it with Gutt on my behalf. Once I have obtained the companion amethyst source, I also plan to leave."

Master Otto, unfamiliar with the associated amethyst source, asked curiously, "Is this thing comparable in value to the associated amethyst source?"
