People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

“Isn’t this Master Xiao Ling from the Xiao family?”

"I could only see Master Xiao Ling's portrait before, but today I can actually see him in person. He is so handsome."

"I heard that Master Xiao Ling has not only reached the peak of the sixth-grade alchemist, but also broke through to the Douhuang realm not long ago. This talent is indeed worthy of being called the "First Genius of the Jia Ma Empire."

Ignoring the discussions of the people around him, Xiao Ling walked into the Alchemist Guild under the awe-inspiring gaze of the gate guard.

After Xiao Ling entered the Alchemist Guild, a captain of the gate guards ordered his men, "Hurry up and report this news to President Fama."

……

As you step into the gate of the Alchemist Guild, a strong aroma of elixir hits you in the face, making you involuntarily take a deep breath and look around with a refreshed mood.

The area within the Alchemist Guild is extremely vast, and is roughly divided into three areas: southeast, southeast, and west. In the east hall, there are many square tables made of green granite neatly built. Behind those tables, some people are sitting. There is an alchemist in a robe, and on the table, there are many various medicinal materials, as well as jade bottles, scrolls, etc., looking at it, it seems to be an area for trading and Taobao.

In the south hall, there are many cauldrons burning blazingly. Some alchemists are behind the cauldrons, controlling the fire with serious faces. Around them, there are low-level alchemists surrounding them, pointing at each other and whispering. Exchange experiences in alchemy.

The west hall is undoubtedly much quieter than the other two halls. There are even guards standing in the corridor. It seems that only certain alchemists who have reached a certain level are qualified to enter. Some low-level alchemists occasionally When you pass by there, you will cast your eyes in awe and envy.

Xiao Ling walked slowly into the hall, looked around, and after determining the direction, he walked towards the Taobao trading area.

Walking in the eastern area, Xiao Ling walked slowly between the square platforms, looking at these rare medicinal herbs and some other strange items with curiosity.

Although this place is called the Taobao Trading Area, the sellers here don't shout as loudly as the vendors in the markets.

They sat leisurely on the soft chairs, occasionally glancing at those standing outside the stage. If they felt that the other party might have some background, some alchemists who were selling medicine would stand up and talk to them.

But most of them were just lazily curled up in their chairs, paying little attention to the onlookers. This leisurely and lazy look did not seem like that of businessmen selling things.

Of course, they were not. What they needed was not the gold market wealth coveted by merchants, but barter.

If you want to get the necessary medicinal materials or elixirs from them, you must come up with rare treasures that are attractive to them.

When Xiao Ling walked into the trading area, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Without paying attention to the different looks from the people around him, Xiao Ling shuttled through the trading area, examining the items being traded with great interest.

……

Suddenly, Xiao Ling's attention was attracted by a jade pendant.

Looking towards the jade pendant, I saw mysterious patterns engraved on it, emitting a faint light.

His heart moved, and he reached out to pick up the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside his ears: "Master Xiao Ling's vision is indeed extraordinary. Although I can't see the specific situation of this jade pendant, its origin is definitely not ordinary."

Xiao Ling turned around and saw an old man looking at him with a smile. On his chest was a badge of a fourth-grade alchemist.

If Xiao Ling remembered correctly, this man's surname was Wang, and he was the alchemist of the Mitel family.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said, "This jade pendant is really good. Name a price and I'll take it."

A faint smile appeared on the old man's face, and he rubbed his hands vigorously, "Master Xiao Ling is really generous. As long as you take out a prescription for a fourth-grade elixir, you can take this jade pendant away."

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "How about this, I will exchange a pill for this jade pendant with you, how about that?"

The old man was surprised when he heard this, "What kind of medicine?"

Xiao Ling took out a porcelain bottle and began to introduce it, "The fourth-grade elixir is the Shengling Pill. After taking it, you can improve your cultivation level in the Douling realm by one star."

After Xiao Ling's investigation, he found out that the old man's cultivation level was a four-star Dou Ling, which was just right for this soul-enhancing pill.

The old man was tempted. He knew that elixirs that could improve one's cultivation were extremely rare.

However, this jade pendant must be of extraordinary value since it could be favored by a sixth-grade alchemist like Xiao Ling.

But the price cannot be too high, otherwise if you anger Xiao Ling, the big shot, you will be in trouble.

After some bargaining, Xiao Ling finally successfully exchanged a soul-enhancing pill for the jade pendant.

Chapter 122 Code

After taking a quick look at the jade pendant, Xiao Ling's hand flashed with white light, and he put it into his storage ring.

According to Xiao Ling's perception, there was a subtle soul fluctuation in this jade pendant, which should be the soul imprint left by its owner during his lifetime.

Xiao Ling planned to investigate carefully what was inside the jade pendant after returning to the Xiao family.

After strolling around the trading area for a while, Xiao Ling carefully checked all the stalls, but did not find the fragment that appeared in the original book.

Xiao Ling was mentally prepared for this. Opportunities are something that all depends on luck.

After clearing the thoughts from his mind, Xiao Ling walked towards the gate of the Alchemist Guild. Since he didn't find the fragment, there was no need to stay here any longer.

Just then, the sound of a group of people's footsteps came into Xiao Ling's ears.

Xiao Ling stopped moving forward and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from. He saw several old men walking towards him with a clear goal in mind.

The old man in the lead had a hunched body and a rather simple alchemy cauldron on his head, which made people wonder if his body was bent because of carrying the alchemy cauldron for many years. He wore a fifth-grade alchemist badge on his chest, and judging from the aura he exuded, he was obviously a Douhuang strongman.

Seeing this person, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows. This person was none other than the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fama, who had met Xiao Ling once before. Because of his pair of petite fighting wings, he was also called "the little bee among the fighting emperors" in his previous life.

Seeing Xiao Ling's gaze, Fama forced a smile on his face. As he walked towards Xiao Ling, he said, "Just now I heard the servants report that Master Xiao Ling had entered the Alchemist Guild, so I hurried out. Master Xiao Ling came to the Alchemist Headquarters, why didn't he notify me first?"

Xiao Ling's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly, "It's nothing important, so there's no need to bother Master Fa Ma. I'm just a little free recently, so I plan to walk around the trading area by myself to see if I can come across anything good."

"Haha, since Master Xiao Ling is free, why don't you come and sit in the Alchemist Guild. I have arranged for the maid to prepare tea in advance." Fama said with a smile, stroking his gray beard.

Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment and then agreed to Fama's suggestion. Anyway, he happened to be free now, so he wouldn't mind a little more time.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, "Since President Fa Ma has invited me, I will respectfully obey your order."

After getting Xiao Ling's agreement, Fama said a few words to the people around him, then took Xiao Ling into a reception hall.

After the two sat down, the maid beside them poured tea for them.

Picking up the teacup, Xiao Ling took a sip and cast a curious look at Fama, "President Fama, just tell me what you want to say."

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, President Fa Ma smiled and said, "Master Xiao Ling, since you are from the Jia Ma Empire, do you have any plans to join the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ling finally understood. It seemed that Fa Ma wanted to invite him to join the Alchemist Guild.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ling answered without any hesitation, "Not interested. If this is the case, then I won't bother President Fa Ma's time."

Hearing Xiao Ling's refusal, Fa Ma was not surprised. He stroked his beard and said to Xiao Ling: "As long as you are willing to join the Alchemist Guild, I am willing to give up the position of president and let you serve as the new president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild. From now on, all the alchemists in the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild can obey your orders."

"I'm sorry, President Fama. Although your offer is very tempting, I'm used to being a free-spirited person and don't intend to join any faction."

Are you kidding? Even if the royal family of the Gama Empire wants Xiao Ling to be the emperor of the Gama Empire, Xiao Ling has no interest. How can he possibly be the president of a mere Alchemist Guild?

Hearing this, Fama hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Xiao Ling, you can also become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild. I know you don't like being restricted by any position. This so-called honorary elder doesn't require you to pay anything. It's just an empty title. If you want, you don't have to listen to anyone's orders, including me."

After a brief pause, Fa Ma added, "Also, as long as you become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, you can view all the prescriptions collected by the Alchemist Guild."

After listening to Fama's narration, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows. Could it be that his reputation was so useful that it was worth the Alchemist Guild spending such a huge price just to make him an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild?

Before Xiao Ling could think too much, Fa Ma continued, "However, if the Alchemist Guild is in a life-or-death crisis, you must help."

Hearing that there was only this one condition, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, and then he made a decision in his heart. Looking at Fa Ma, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "In this case, I will be an honorary elder in the Alchemist Guild."

Now that he has become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Alchemist Guild will definitely become closer. In the future, if the Xiao family wants to refine pills and there is no alchemist in the family, they can ask members of the Alchemist Guild to help.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Fa Ma felt much happier.

Ever since Gu He became the guest elder of the Yunlan Sect, some talented alchemy talents have given up the Alchemist Guild and chose to join the Yunlan Sect.

With Xiao Ling as an honorary elder, the reputation of the Alchemist Guild will definitely rise to a higher level. Some freelance alchemists may also take the initiative to join the Alchemist Guild.

Fa Ma took out a purple metal plate from his ring and handed it to Xiao Ling. "This is the token of the honorary elder of the union. It is a symbol of identity. With this token, you can get help from any branch anywhere in the Jia Ma Empire."

With a slight nod, Xiao Ling put the token into his storage ring, even though he might not need the help of the Alchemist Guild.

Next, the two began to exchange their experiences on alchemy. Most of the time, Xiao Ling was explaining while Fama was listening.

Although Xiao Ling has not yet refined a seventh-grade elixir and become a seventh-grade alchemist, he has basically learned the theoretical knowledge of a seventh-grade alchemist under the guidance of Yao Chen. Just explaining some knowledge points has benefited Fama, who is only a fifth-grade alchemist, a lot.

Chapter 123: Dream Shadow

This discussion with Xiao Ling about alchemy gave Fama a lot of new insights into alchemy, and some of the doubts that had accumulated before were also answered one by one by Xiao Ling.

Through communication with Xiao Ling, Fama could clearly find that Xiao Ling's knowledge of alchemy far exceeded that of Gu He, who was also a sixth-grade alchemist.

Fama had often exchanged experiences with Gu He about alchemy before. Although he gained something, the effect was far less than that of a single exchange with Xiao Ling.

Looking at Xiao Ling who was talking, Fa Ma said in his heart: "As expected of a talented boy who could reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen. He is indeed not comparable to the likes of us."

Two hours passed quickly and Xiao Ling and Fama ended their discussion.

Before leaving, Xiao Ling said to Fama: "President Fama, I would like to ask the Alchemist Guild to help me find an item."

Hearing this, Fama cast a curious look at Xiao Ling, "Now that you have become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, you can naturally get help from the Alchemist Guild. Tell me, do you need any medicinal materials for refining pills? If the Alchemist Guild has any in its collection, I can take them out and exchange them with you."

Shaking his head lightly, Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, and then described to Fa Ma, "What I am looking for is a broken piece of black jade. Anyone who finds a broken piece of black jade, please help me collect it. I can reimburse the cost."

Since the fragment appeared in the Alchemist Guild in the original book, we could ask the Alchemist Guild to help us find it, and maybe we could get something out of it. Anyway, without the help of the strange fire, we couldn't see the contents recorded on it.

Nodding, Fama replied: "This search area is a bit wide, but since you have asked, I will arrange for my men to pay more attention. If we find fragments that match your description, I will collect them."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you very much, President Fa Ma. It's getting late. Goodbye."

After leaving the reception hall, Xiao Ling planned to check the prescriptions recorded in the Alchemist Guild.

Relying on his status as an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling entered the secret room where the pill recipes were kept and began to check them one by one.

Although the quality of these pill recipes is not very high, and Xiao Ling has records of most of them.

However, Xiao Ling still found some recipes that he had not collected, expanding his collection. For example, in the original book, three years later, the sixth-grade Rongling Pill recipe was given as a reward for the champion of the Alchemist Conference.

After browsing through all the prescriptions in the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling walked out of the Alchemist Guild and flew towards the Xiao family.

……

After returning to his own courtyard, Xiao Ling slightly released his soul perception ability and found that Zi Yan was sleeping in the room, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian were practicing in their respective rooms.

Xiao Ling first met the Little Medical Fairy and gave her the branding poison he got from Nalan Jie.

This poison can not only be absorbed by Xiao Yixian's poisonous body, but it also contains some of the pure fighting spirit of Nalan Jie, the Dou Wang, which is very helpful to Xiao Yixian now.

After chatting with Xiao Yixian for a while, Xiao Ling returned to his room.

Sitting on the chair, Xiao Ling flipped his hand and took out the jade pendant that he had exchanged from the Alchemist Guild.

This jade pendant is round in shape and smooth to the touch, like a piece of baby skin. It is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.
