The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

"Alright, I hereby announce that the assessment for first-grade alchemists will now begin! Those who have been assigned and are qualified to take the assessment, please follow me!" Frank addressed the crowd in the hall after the silver-robed woman arrived. He then led a group of several dozen people to the left side of the hall.

Watching dozens of people around him follow, Xiao Xuanyuan was about to turn to ask Ya Han when his third-grade alchemy assessment would begin. However, Lin Fei reached out and pulled him back to the front of the line. All of this was observed by Otto behind them. He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Girls grow up and leave home, huh? She hasn't even officially become a first-grade alchemist yet, and my student has already been lured away..."

After glancing one last time at Ya Han on the counter, Otto followed her slowly with somewhat aged steps.

Ya Han's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan's departing figure, a youthful blush spreading across her cheeks. Perhaps this was the man she had been searching for… She was moved! However, she had also noticed Otto's last glance, the meaning of which was rather intriguing, seemingly carrying a subtle warning. Ya Han's brows furrowed as she fell into deep thought…

"Why are you pulling me? I'm being assessed as a third-grade alchemist, not a first-grade one." Seeing that the other person was a great beauty, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't refuse and let her pull him along, but he kept saying that he didn't understand why Lin Fei wanted to drag him along.

"You idiot, let me ask you, have you ever taken the first-grade alchemist exam before?" Lin Fei asked Xiao Xuanyuan as she pulled him along.

"Of course not, this is my first time at the Alchemist Guild, okay?" Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly and said frankly.

"That's it then. You want to take the third-grade exam without passing the first and second-grade alchemist exams? If you succeed, great. But if you fail, do you really think the rare medicinal materials for third-grade pills are free? So, you should just honestly take the exams one by one..." Lin Fei rolled her eyes at the former and then explained to him.

"Oh, is that so? If so, then it is indeed necessary to take the first-grade alchemist exam." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly, glancing at Lin Fei's jade-like hand tightly gripping his arm. He wanted to say, "Why are you holding me like that?" but seeing Lin Fei's bright, slightly concerned eyes, Xiao Xuanyuan swallowed his words. He decided not to say anything, lest he embarrass the woman in front of him.

And so, one after the other, Lin Fei, in her carefree and intimate manner, pulled Xiao Xuanyuan through a large gate ahead. Outside the gate, four burly men, fully armed, were waiting. Seeing the two enter, they did not stop them in the slightest, after all, a group of people had just gone in.

Upon entering, the bright lights illuminated the spacious hall as if it were daytime. Inside, a group of people who had just entered were gathered.

Chapter Fifty-Two: A Startling Success

At this moment, a group of more than twenty young men and women around twenty years old stood in front of Frank. Among them, more than ten were the people Ya Han had explained the rules of procedure to him earlier.

In the front of the hall, besides Frank, a fourth-grade alchemist, there were more than a dozen other first- and second-grade alchemists. Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at their chests and immediately knew their identities.

After entering the hall, Lin Fei said nothing and pulled Xiao Xuanyuan to the front, in front of Frank and his group of alchemists, to stand side by side with the silver-robed woman.

Frank carefully explained the procedures that needed to be followed, and soon after, Otto's elderly figure appeared in the hall.

After Frank finished speaking, he announced that the first-grade alchemist test would officially begin!

In the center of the hall, a dozen or so stone platforms were carefully set up, each filled with various alchemy equipment. As assigned, Xiao Xuanyuan, Lin Fei, and the silver-robed woman were the first to undergo the initial testing and assessment.

"Linfei, it seems you've hooked up with a man again?"

Xiao Xuanyuan was assigned to the space between Lin Fei and the woman in silver robes. Before the alchemy assessment even began, the woman in silver robes teased him.

"What do you mean, 'hooked up'? Don't use such harsh language, okay? This guy is ignorant and arrogant, spouting nonsense. I'm still waiting for him to become my servant." Lin Fei glanced at him sideways and said.

"Hehe... I just heard about your bet with him. What if he turns out to be a young hero and actually manages to refine a pill that passes the third-grade alchemist exam? How will you ever have the face to stay in Blackrock City again!" The silver-robed woman seemed to be gloating as she teased him.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that! I can't possibly lose, hmph..." Lin Fei raised her chin arrogantly.

Seeing the two women bickering on his left and right, Xiao Xuanyuan was both amused and exasperated. However, out of his fondness for beautiful women, he couldn't help but ask the silver-robed woman on his right, "You must be Xue Mei?"

Xue Mei nodded slightly, her face quite cold, and asked, "What do you want?"

Faced with the sudden shift in expression from a blooming snow lotus to an ice block resembling an ice queen, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a slight chill, but he remained unperturbed and simply said, "No, just curious!"

Xue Mei only thought of Xiao Xuanyuan as a frivolous young man who only knew how to talk big, and didn't pay much attention to him. She turned her attention to the uniform medicine cauldron in front of her and began to explore and familiarize herself with it before refining medicine.

The basic requirement for a first-grade alchemist is that they must successfully refine a complete pill on their own. As for what kind of pill it is, that can be decided by the Alchemist Guild.

Seeing that the two women beside him were inspecting the alchemy equipment in front of him, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly. He wondered if Frank had done it on purpose, as he had arranged for him to be between the two women. Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at him and was surprised to see that Frank and Otto were both looking at him with smiles on their faces.

"Looks like it was really intentional. Those two old geezers are quite good at arranging things; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to appreciate the beauty of their two students," Xiao Xuanyuan thought to himself. Actually, it was Elder Yao who suggested this assessment for the alchemist's grade badge, but Xiao Xuanyuan didn't care. After all, with his current skill level, he could even refine third-grade pills, so this first-grade pill was nothing to him.

However, it seemed that Elder Yao was quite dissatisfied with him. Ever since he casually gave him the title "Old Monster Bai," he had been constantly cursing Xiao Xuanyuan in telepathic communication, complaining about such an unpleasant name. Helpless, Xiao Xuanyuan could only smile wryly and explain that he was just casually responding and that he shouldn't take it too seriously. After all, he hadn't officially become an apprentice yet.

Without bothering to inspect the rather complex alchemy equipment, Xiao Xuanyuan picked up a prescription from the table and began to examine it. It was a piece of yellowish parchment, not easily worn and destined for longevity. After carefully studying it and memorizing the steps and procedures for preparing the various ingredients, Xiao Xuanyuan felt confident in his abilities.

“Otto, this young man came to our Alchemist Guild and immediately started clamoring to refine third-grade pills and become a third-grade alchemist. Don’t you think he’s crazy?” Frank laughed, his gaze seemingly intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over Xiao Xuanyuan.

Otto nodded, a glint of shrewdness in his seemingly old eyes. He stroked his white beard and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe the little guy hasn't shown his true abilities yet! I forgot to tell you, when I first met him outside the guild, I vaguely sensed that he had some kind of strange fire within him..." Otto said with some uncertainty.

"A strange fire!" Upon hearing this, Frank, who was standing to the side, was shocked. His gaze towards Xiao Xuanyuan was filled with astonishment, and the playful smile vanished. He said, "From the moment I saw him, I couldn't see through him. Logically speaking, anyone whose alchemy level is below mine shouldn't be able to hide their aura. Perhaps he really does possess a strange fire..."

“Hmm, if he had a different kind of fire, Linfei might lose to him. After all, a different kind of fire is a rare and precious thing in the world, and not just anyone can encounter, refine, and control it…” Otto nodded, his expression towards Xiao Xuanyuan full of solemnity.

"It seems I, Frank, underestimated people..." Before Frank could finish speaking, the scene before him made him blush, hold his breath, and his heart seemed to be suddenly stimulated, pounding wildly.

Not only Frank, but also Otto beside him, and the two women Lin Fei and Xue Mei beside Xiao Xuanyuan, were all drawn to the intensely hot aura emanating from it. They stared in disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment, fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan's palm. It must be the beautiful flame on his palm that was emanating the fierce and scorching aura.

It was a palm-sized flame, its surface crackling with white arcs of electricity. Though the sound was faint, a series of crackling sounds emanated from it, sending chills down the spines of everyone in the hall. An intensely scorching and violent aura emanated from it, instantly filling the entire hall and causing the temperature to rise rapidly. Within that palm-sized flame, a rather small lightning dragon constantly roamed and roared, its faint howls echoing through the hall and terrifying everyone present.

Gazing at the lightning flames slowly rising and burning on Xiao Xuanyuan's palm, almost everyone in the hall, except for Xiao Xuanyuan himself, couldn't help but swallow hard. This lightning flame was truly terrifying! It shocked the entire audience with its very first move!

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Mighty Pill

"This is a strange fire!" Frank's eyes widened as he stared intently at the lightning flame with arcs of electricity dancing on Xiao Xuanyuan's palm!

Not only Frank, but Otto, standing beside him, was also trembling with fear. He was now finally certain that this sixteen-year-old boy did indeed possess this strange fire! However, he was also curious about what kind of strange fire this lightning flame was. It seemed that he couldn't find a single strange fire on the list that matched its description.

Linfei and Xuemei stared blankly into the distance. The ever-increasing temperature in the hall did not deceive them. The flame in the young man's hand was perhaps the strange fire in the world that was violent and possessed the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!

"How is this possible?"

Linfei exclaimed in surprise. Like Xuemei, she had learned alchemy from her teacher and had naturally heard of the strange fire that made countless alchemists flock to it. Even when her teacher talked about the strange fire, a hint of fanaticism would unconsciously appear in his eyes, which showed how rare the strange fire was.

If any alchemist were to seize the opportunity of heaven and earth and be able to devour and refine a strange fire as their natal flame, then that alchemist's path in alchemy would be much longer and more promising.

Moreover, the difficulty of refining the same pill is incomparable to that of a pharmacist with a different kind of fire, as is the speed of refining and the success rate and quality of the final product. After all, the benefits that a different kind of fire can bring to the process of refining medicine are simply too numerous and significant.

Among the people in the hall were many discerning individuals. Having considered these things, when they looked at the lightning and flames appearing on Xiao Xuanyuan's palm, the intense fervor in their eyes was undisguised. Even Lin Fei and Xue Mei, standing beside Xiao Xuanyuan, were no exception.

"What kind of strange fire is this?" Xue Mei slowly put away her previous contempt. Compared to Lin Fei, she was more reserved and calm. After trying to calm her turbulent emotions, she couldn't help but ask.

After releasing the strange fire, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little regretful. Wasn't this too ostentatious? In the instant the lightning flames were released, he realized that everyone's eyes in the hall had shifted to him, or more precisely, to the lightning flames on his palm! Now, he had become the center of everyone's attention.

But since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more; it's better to face it calmly and composedly. Faced with the two women's questioning, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly and smiled, "Didn't you look down on me before? Now I'll show you what I'm really capable of!"

After saying this, Xiao Xuanyuan ignored everyone's gaze, extended his soul perception, and slowly controlled the lightning and flames on his palm, gradually restraining its scorching energy and high temperature release. After a while, the ever-rising temperature in the hall gradually stopped rising and slowly subsided.

"Is everything checked? Then let's begin." After a long period of shock, Frank finally managed to calm the surging emotions in his chest. He released a burst of energy, which struck the ancient iron bell at the top of the hall. Instantly, the clear chime of the bell echoed throughout the hall.

He slowly placed his palm on the fire port of the medicine cauldron, and his fighting spirit surged out. Instantly, with a few muffled popping sounds, the lightning flames on his palm rushed into the medicine cauldron, where they ignited into flames.

As the flames inside the cauldron ignited, a transparent light curtain slowly rose from the outside of the stone platform. The light curtain was square in shape and enveloped Xiao Xuanyuan and the entire stone platform.

As the light barrier opened, the noise in the hall was completely shut out, leaving only quiet. His gaze swept briefly to the two women on either side, who were still astonished and not fully recovered from their shock. Xiao Xuanyuan slowly composed himself and began the first step of the alchemy process.

"That guy's started refining pills..." Almost everyone in the hall focused their attention on Xiao Xuanyuan. After being shocked by what they'd just witnessed, some had already begun refining their own first-grade pills. Time was of the essence; if they couldn't successfully refine the pills from their prescriptions within the allotted time, they would undoubtedly be eliminated and lose their qualification to become first-grade alchemists. Therefore, everything had to be done quickly.

Under Xiao Xuanyuan's lead, the other examinees also realized the importance of medicine making and began to prepare their own medicine-making procedures, including Lin Fei and Xue Mei beside him.

As the aspiring alchemists channeled their fighting spirit into flames, square light screens gradually formed within the hall, densely isolating them from external noise.

As the first batch of first-grade alchemists underwent their assessment, everyone outside the light screen was intently watching the examinees' movements on the stone platform. Occasionally, members of the Alchemist Guild would secretly nod in approval when they saw a newcomer with particularly good self-control.

However, most people's attention was focused on Xiao Xuanyuan, who was at the very front of the light screen. He was the only prospective alchemist who possessed a powerful flame. Compared to him, the others were like fireflies compared to the brilliance of the moon.

He was the center of the entire hall, seemingly the protagonist whose brilliance suppressed the entire scene.

Whether it was the Alchemist Guild or the two old guys Frank and Otto doing it on purpose, the prescription they picked up from the side contained a high-grade first-rank pill called "Mighty Pill," which was extremely difficult to refine for a novice who hadn't yet become a first-rank alchemist.

As for the two women on either side, Xiao Xuanyuan had just turned his head and glanced at them. Judging from the various medicinal materials on their stone platform, they were only low-grade, relatively easy-to-refine first-grade pills, namely the Injury Recovery Pill and the Fire Condensation Pill.

"Hey, those two old guys are abusing their power for personal gain, they did it on purpose!" Xiao Xuanyuan cursed angrily, then glared at Frank and his companion not far away. Under the two old guys' wicked grins, he began to formally refine the "Mighty Pill".

The Mighty Pill, as the name suggests, grants a person immense strength for a short period after consumption. It provides excellent support in battles at the Fighter level, potentially increasing the chances of turning the tide of a fight.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter Fifty-Four Condensation

Faced with the "Mighty Strength Pill," which is considered extremely difficult to refine among first-grade pills, Xiao Xuanyuan reluctantly accepted it.

Skillfully controlling the lightning flames, Xiao Xuanyuan tried his best to suppress their energy, otherwise he was afraid that if he didn't control it properly, he would melt the medicine cauldron.

As his soul perception surged forth, Xiao Xuanyuan tossed one medicinal herb after another into the medicine cauldron. Under the control of his powerful soul perception, in an instant, the herbs thrown into the cauldron melted into pure essences, some liquid, some crystals…

From the moment Xiao Xuanyuan unleashed his lightning flames until now, both Frank and Otto, the two fourth-grade alchemists, have kept their eyes fixed on him.

The shock in his eyes had not completely dissipated.

"Old White Monster? Otto, do you know Old White Monster?" Frank put down the documents in his hand, somewhat puzzled, and glanced at Otto beside him.

"How would I know?" Otto rolled his eyes. "But based on my life experience, the one that kid used wasn't any of the strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking. It had absolutely no resemblance to any of them. However, flames filled with lightning didn't seem like something an alchemist could conjure."

"Nine Dragons Thunderfire? But there's only one dragon within that thunder and flame? Dragon and Phoenix Flame? That's a flame born from the essence of ancient dragons and phoenixes. This doesn't seem like it. Perhaps it's a flame condensed using some kind of secret technique, or maybe it devoured some other flame that's slightly stronger than ordinary flames? Like the flame that the beast itself possesses?" Frank kept pondering the amount of information stored in his mind, gradually muttering to himself.

“Indeed, apart from flames refined from other strange flames, I really can’t think of any other strange flames that take this form…” Otto also looked bewildered.

"Sigh..." Frank, who had been staring at Xiao Xuanyuan for a long time but still couldn't reveal anything unusual, sighed deeply and said, "This little guy... is really not simple! At only sixteen years old, he already has the strength of a three-star Dou Shi. Compared to Xue Mei and Lin Fei, the difference is like heaven and earth. Moreover, it seems that he also has such a powerful innate flame!"

"

I initially thought that perhaps the little guy had some skill, but was just young and impetuous, and didn't know how to restrain himself, which was why he boasted that he could refine a third-grade pill. However, now, after witnessing the lightning flames he possesses, I have some hope. Perhaps, he really can refine that third-grade pill…”

Frank sighed deeply. He then whispered to one of the alchemists behind him, "Go and send a notification to the alchemist guilds in other cities, asking them to help investigate whether there is indeed a high-level alchemist named 'Old Monster White'... capable of cultivating such a talent, he shouldn't be an unknown nobody..."

Just as the alchemist was about to leave, he waved his hand, beckoning him back, and said, "While you're at it, also send someone to investigate this little fellow named Xiao Xuanyuan and find out his background!"

The alchemist nodded and then slowly retreated.

Seeing this, Otto simply smiled and said, "These two girls have been fighting for so many years, and now this young man named Xiao Xuanyuan has given them a good thrashing. It will teach them a lesson they won't forget: there are always people more capable than you!"

Frank nodded slightly, his expression grave. "Although he can control this kind of lightning flame similar to a strange fire, alchemy is not just about the flame itself. The ability to perceive the soul, the control of the heat, and the precise amounts of various medicinal ingredients are all crucial factors. So, let's continue observing his alchemy process..."

Otto nodded slightly. As a fourth-grade alchemist, he naturally knew these things, so he stopped talking and kept his eyes fixed on the young man who was concentrating on refining pills on the light screen.

As the two of them fell silent, the hall returned to calm. However, this time, most people's eyes were fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan. This young man made a name for himself as soon as he appeared, and the lightning and flames he controlled were the most dazzling and spectacular in the room. He seemed to be the center of attention, and no one could surpass his brilliance.

With practiced movements, all the medicinal herbs thrown into the cauldron had been refined and stored, and Xiao Xuanyuan was ready to begin smelting various medicinal essences.

Taking a moment to glance at the two women beside him, he noticed that the flames they emitted were a deeper yellow, suggesting that their strength was considerably greater than that of the other aspiring alchemists, likely around the level of a four- or five-star Dou Zhe.

Gazing at the two women's alluring and graceful figures, his gaze lingering for a few moments between their full breasts and the hint of their thighs, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled slightly before ignoring them and focusing entirely on the final step of refining the pills into a finished product.

Compared to Xiao Xuanyuan, Lin Fei and Xue Mei were much more nervous. For some reason, the sudden appearance of this extraordinary young man, Xiao Xuanyuan, had subtly instilled a sense of pressure in them, making them deeply aware of the gap between themselves and Xiao Xuanyuan. Inevitably, influenced by him, their usually calm minds became tense.
