It is very difficult for others to get in. It is not enough to be an ordinary person who saves an airplane or to make a name for yourself within Penglai Academy. The only way to get into this circle is to rely on absolute hard power.

Mu Yaoxi nodded after listening: "Then we have to prepare. Since we are going to a banquet, we must dress up carefully."

Su Ruoli hesitated and said, "He didn't invite me..."

"You are his protector, so of course you have to go with us." Mu Yaoxi clapped her hands and said, "It's settled. We'll go to the beauty salon first, and then buy some clothes for the evening. I know a few good ready-made clothing stores with excellent craftsmanship."

Bai Yu was a little surprised and said, "Ren Nanbei's words didn't take you seriously at all. Aren't you angry?"

"It would be a lie to say I'm not angry, but it's all over once I think about it. If this is the general trend, it's not necessarily a bad thing." Mu Yaoxi looked at the empty White Tiger Hall. "Even if I want to reorganize the White Tiger Hall, it will take several years. If the Four Symbols Hall can be separated from the Divine Martial Department and established as an independent supervisory agency, it will only take half a year to see initial results."

Ruan Qingxue asked: "But isn't the White Tiger Hall very important to you?"

"The White Tiger Hall belongs to the Divine Martial Division, not my personal property. What's important to me isn't some life ambition or ideal that must be achieved."

Mu Yaoxi's eyes revealed a look of reluctance: "I want to revive it, just like missing a childhood playground. Although I like the facilities of that playground, I miss the joy it brought, and the people who always stayed there with enthusiasm..."

"But more than a decade later, the facilities have aged, the fun has become a memory, and people have gone their separate ways. It will eventually close down."

"I inherited the White Tiger Hall for a very personal reason, but this reason is untenable and must give way to greater principles."

"If I were to stop Ren Nanbei from carrying out the reform just to take care of my personal feelings, I would be criticized."

Baiyu was silent.

Su Ruoli stepped forward and straightened her collar: "They may not succeed. Since ancient times, the right things may not be promoted. Only things that benefit everyone will be carried out naturally."

Mu Yaoxi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You say that, like some villain with bad intentions."

"I don't understand what reform is. I'm just an ordinary student. I just want to live a quiet life. Let others consider those major issues." Su Ruoli said cunningly: "The big principles they talk about are theirs. Even if those things are right, it doesn't prevent us from having small emotions in private, right?"

"You're right. I really shouldn't have thought too much about it." Mu Yaoxi nodded. "There's nothing much to see in the White Tiger Hall anymore. I was originally planning to show you the future office. I even had the company prepare the renovation plan. What a waste."

"It can be used elsewhere, so it won't be wasted." Bai Yu said, "And flat floors aren't hard to find."

Mu Yaoxi turned around, her eyes seemed to have a little more intelligence: "You are right, it is the same everywhere... Let's go."

After saying that, she took a deep breath, as if she had gained some kind of strength to start over at any time. She left the White Tiger Hall without any regrets, stepping on the sunshine with a graceful back.

……

Nothing happened when I left Shenwu Division, it was quiet.

Su Ruoli and Ruan Qingxue were dragged by Mu Yaoxi to the beauty salon and clothing shop.

Bai Yu was left alone on the roadside.

Scratching his head, he could only go on his own, and his next stop was the Danshi Association.

He plans to take the exam for a third-grade alchemist certificate.

Things like examinations cannot be done at any time. He stayed in Penglai for a long time and did not have time to wait until the big exam, so they could only give him a green channel as a special case.

Special matters are handled specially. Strictly speaking, this is not a backdoor, but a channel for special approval of outstanding Danshi.

Bai Yu is not even a first-grade alchemist, so wanting to obtain certification as a third-grade alchemist is a special case.

In addition, the refining techniques and ideas of some second-grade elixirs that he had previously "improved" had been submitted to the Alchemist Association as soon as possible.

It was only after Bai Yu received the letter from the Alchemist Association that he was sure that he could find time to take the assessment for the third-grade alchemist.

The other party's convenient green light is purely based on preferential treatment for talents. It is not based on connections or backdoors, but is in compliance with rules and regulations.

This is quite similar to the recommendation system.

Speaking of the Alchemist Association... although it is also an official organization led by Daxia, it is not one of the ten departments of Daxia.

The ten departments of Daxia are the Long Night Department, the Yama Department, the Xuantian Department, the Strange Things Department (Administrative Bureau), the Tiangong Department, the Astronomy Department, the Shenwu Department, the Mountain and Sea Department, the Military Department and... the Xuanhu Department.

Penglai's Danding Academy is extremely famous in the supernatural world, but for ordinary people, Xuanhusi is more reliable when it comes to matters of birth, aging and disease.

The Xuanhu Division inherits the art of medicine, while the Danding Division inherits alchemy. One originates from doctors and the other from alchemists, and the difference in standards is obvious at a glance.

If you really get sick, relying on elixirs to treat it is not only difficult but also very wasteful, so you still have to rely on Xuanhusi.

Many people in the medical field are also alchemists themselves.

After entering the extraordinary realm, the paths of medicine and alchemy will gradually overlap, so the composition of the Alchemy Association is more complex, and there are many distinctions between schools and concepts.

Some alchemy is done for the sake of archaeology, some relies on innovation, some pursues profit, and some seeks to cure diseases and save lives.

After all, in the eyes of alchemists, alchemy is just a kind of knowledge, and what people who master this knowledge use it for varies from person to person.

This is also the reason why, although the Alchemist Association can assess alchemists all over the world, it must always be controlled by the drug supervision department within the Xuanhu Division.

There were too many twists and turns, so Bai Yu took a few glances and then put them out of his mind. All he needed was the certificate. As for what the Danshi Association was, that was not important.

When Bai Yu arrived at the Danshi Association, he didn't know which door he entered. The place was too big and lacked effective signage, especially since there were so many people coming today.

The capital city is indeed a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, and the daily flow of people is quite terrifying.

After he finally found a checkpoint, he thought he could finally get in. He took out the invitation issued by the Danshi Association and handed it to the staff member next to him.

The staff member opened the invitation and quickly scanned it, confirming the official seal was correct, and immediately said, "Please come in."

Bai Yu was about to go in, but was pulled into another almost empty passage by the other party: "Please go through this backstage passage."

"Thank you." Bai Yu thanked politely.

He was a special case, so it made sense for him to have a quick channel, so he didn't think much about it.

The staff member walked back to his original position and sighed, "I didn't expect such a young alchemy master to come. He looks to be around twenty years old. Who is this genius?"

"It might be the Nangong family, but I didn't look carefully. Anyway, the official seal is correct, so they wouldn't invite the wrong person...Okay, let's continue. I didn't expect so many people to come."

……

Bai Yu walked along the corridor to the backstage and, under the guidance of several staff members, came to a luxuriously decorated waiting room, which looked like the VIP waiting room in the airport.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Just plain boiled water will do."

"Please wait."

Bai Yu looked at the young lady's decent performance and thought to himself that she was quite polite... I just came here to take the exam for the third-grade alchemist certificate, but I was treated like a guest of honor like this.

In addition to him, there were several other people in the waiting room, but without exception, they were all older, looked very steady and confident, and it was obvious at first glance that they were industry leaders.

Bai Yu suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Perhaps these people were here to look for someone.

The next person who entered the waiting room looked around and then curiously fell on Bai Yu. He walked closer and asked, "Young man, can we share a seat?"

Chapter 460: Bottom Line Rule: I took it all after all

Faced with the sudden conversation, Bai Yu reacted very calmly and his eyes fell on the person who came, an old man in simple clothes.

"Please feel free to do as you please."

Bai Yu saw that there were still many empty seats around. He thought that the other party was not here to share the seat, but he really wanted to say something.

The old man sat down and smiled, "I am Song Keji, have you asked me for advice?"

"It's not so much about asking for advice, I'm Bai Yu, a student in Penglai."

"So you're a talented person from Danding College. No wonder you were invited here." Song Keji nodded and said, "Young people are indeed formidable. Today's scene is quite grand, but you're not at all stage-frightened. I didn't have such courage when I was young."

"It's just an exam, what's there to be nervous about?" Bai Yu said calmly, "The Alchemist Association is just a place for me to test what I've learned. If I can be neither happy nor sad because of external things, I won't care about what others think."

"Well said." Song Keji agreed, "Alchemy is a pure matter and should not be affected by external things. If your mind is disturbed, you will not be able to achieve good results."

Having said that, Song Keji raised his voice a little, and the voice echoed in the room.

The others raised their eyes, met Song Keji's gaze, and then lowered their heads.

Song Keji was a very outgoing person, so he started talking to himself, "I haven't been to the Alchemist Association headquarters for several years. When I first came here as a young man and saw the Alchemist Association for the first time, you know what I can't forget the most?"

Bai Yu asked, "Is it a pill?"

"No, no, no, it's a beautiful girl." Song Keji sighed: "I was so fascinated by her back then, with her long legs, white arms and long hair."

Bai Yu: "..."

"Don't think I'm disrespectful because I'm old." Song Keji stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I'm just reminding you, young friend. When you go on stage later, you might attract some criticism. But since you're so young and handsome, there will definitely be a lot of girls staring at you. Young people are too shy to handle it."

Bai Yu coughed and said, "Let's talk about alchemy."

Song Keji laughed and said, "Alchemy is not a human thing, and alchemists will never stop talking about alchemy, or argue until their faces turn red and their necks thick."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man covered in colorful clothes suddenly rushed out from the passage. His hair was covered with cabbage leaves and egg liquid, and his clothes were like an overturned oil, salt, sauce and vinegar shop. He walked past quickly with a dark face, as if he was dragged out for a street patrol and felt angry and ashamed.

Bai Yu saw it clearly, and then froze: "What's going on?"

"You don't know?" Song Keji thought for a moment. "Indeed, you're too young, and perhaps you haven't seen this kind of situation before... To put it simply, when you go up there later, if you can't pass the rigorous assessment, you'll have to accept this kind of 'humiliation'. Even your beautiful clothes will be stained with all sorts of colors."

"Is there such a thing?" Bai Yu was surprised for a second. I just took part in an assessment, is it that serious?

He then remembered that he had also taken the express channel, so maybe it was reasonable?

"This humiliation is kind of cute," Bai Yu commented.

I don't know how many times he has been through life and death, but he doesn't care at all about being thrown eggs and vegetable leaves. How can this be considered a humiliation? If you really want to humiliate me, please use stockings!

"Not everyone has such a good attitude as yours." Song Keji shook his head and laughed. He thought Bai Yu would look horrified, but the boy just laughed it off. He even looked at him with more respect.

As the two chatted, one person after another walked out of the waiting room.

Even though the waiting room was very soundproof, Bai Yu could still hear a commotion every once in a while, whether it was thunderous applause or loud laughter.

Four out of the five people who came back had their heads broken. They were full of confidence before, but now they are dejected, like wilted cucumbers.

The receptionist said, "Please prepare for the next one."

Bai Yu stood up: "It's my turn, right?"

The receptionist smiled sweetly and said, "I wish you all the best."

Song Keji stood up and clasped his fists to bid him farewell: "I wish you a great applause."

After pushing open a door and passing through a slightly gray curtain, Bai Yu stepped into an auditorium.

The bright lights converged to illuminate the entire auditorium podium and cast his silhouette on the screen.

A young man in a windbreaker and casual clothes stepped into the auditorium in a completely natural manner. His appearance was like a gust of wind blowing across a lake, which lifted everyone's spirits. The young man swept the crowd with an indifferent gaze. Even a quick glance gave people a feeling of being watched. His handsome features no longer showed the immaturity of a teenager, but a calmness that was much more mature than his peers. His steps were upright but not stiff, natural but not casual, as if he had turned this place into his home court.

In an instant, the auditorium, which had been quite noisy before, suddenly became quiet.

too young!

Also, so handsome!

Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone subconsciously felt a compliment in their hearts.

There are gangsters, like cuts are like consultations, like cuts like grinding.

There are gangsters, who are full of ears, and will be like stars.

There are gangsters, such as gold such as tin, such as Gui as bi.

Regardless of whether he has real talent or not, when Bai Yu appeared at the center of the auditorium's lights and in the crowd's sight, their expectations were unconsciously raised, and no one even suspected that "this person has come to the wrong place."

Because of his outstanding temperament, he looks like a dragon among men at first glance. Looking at him from afar, one feels suffocated as if being stared at by a strong man. This person must have made extraordinary achievements, so how could he have come to the wrong place?

Just like the villain in the movie, as soon as he appears on the scene you know that he is not a fake, but is really something.

Several female alchemists in the front row blushed. If they met a boy like this on the roadside, they would definitely invite him to have a cup of tea on the roadside, chat about life, and discuss philosophy. Even if they didn't say anything, just killing time would be a pleasure.

The judges in the front row also pushed up their glasses. Although there was a look of confusion in their eyes, "Who is this kid?", they soon turned to anticipation, "It must be some old guy who did this. He always manages to give us something new."

As long as the atmosphere is right and the person looks extraordinary, countless people will follow suit and imagine things. You don't need to speak up yourself, as there will be people rushing to explain.

No matter what this group of people thought, Bai Yu's heart gradually turned into a wild dance of ghost animal all-stars.

What the fuck is going on?

He had long since developed a poker face that could keep his emotions in check, and his third-level transcendental cultivation was solid enough that he wouldn't get stage fright easily. The soul pressure he released was also to prevent himself from revealing any flaws or becoming a laughing stock.

This is an auditorium, and a group of alchemists are sitting in the lower row. The prestigious and famous industry leaders are sitting in the front rows, and the people in the back are standing, mostly the younger generation of the alchemist association.

Is it necessary to make such a big fuss about an assessment?

Something seems to be wrong...

All the doubts that Bai Yu had previously harbored in his heart were triggered, and he became even more certain that he might have come to the wrong place.

This must be some special day, which is why the Danshi Association is so lively.
