Chapter 537 Just right
"This place looks pretty good. Alchemists can be seen everywhere, and they all seem to be living well."
Bai Qinghua casually walked on the street while chatting with Tata with his consciousness. Tata had always said that the way of alchemy was declining in the Ten Thousand Worlds, but looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, the word "decline" did not seem to be related to it. Could it be that during the tens of thousands of years that Tata had been in the Desolate World, the God King Jijun realized his mistakes and made changes? Is the way of alchemy popular again in the Ten Thousand Worlds?
"Humph, have you forgotten where this is? The Void Realm is the home of Ji Jun. All the alchemists above level three in the Ten Thousand Realms are here. Moreover, this is the headquarters of the Alchemist Union. The assessments for alchemists above level seven are all conducted here. The Ten Thousand Realms are so vast. With so many alchemists gathered here, how can it not look prosperous?"
"Besides, since there are a large number of high-level alchemists gathered here, some cultivators who want to obtain high-level elixirs will also come here to ask for elixirs, so there will naturally be more people."
Tata became unhappy when he heard that Bai Qinghua actually wanted to question him, and said seriously with a stern face.
"So that's how it is. According to what you said, there are many foreign monks here, so the caves here must be very expensive!"
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Bai Qinghua suddenly frowned and said.
"Then I don't know. I told you not to come here, not to come here, but you didn't listen. You just stole someone's things and yet you dare to come to their lair so brazenly. Do you really think Ji Jun is made of clay?"
Tata rolled his eyes as he spoke, speechless at his host's behavior.
"Although Ji Jun is not that good, his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, as the only Saint-level alchemist in the Ten Thousand Worlds, he not only has the Alchemist Union, a behemoth that is spread throughout the Ten Thousand Worlds, but also has connections beyond your imagination. Maybe he will be able to find you."
"If you ask me, you should first find a remote little world to hide in, and then slowly build up your own network of contacts before you start to make your plans. Wouldn't that be a better idea?"
Although Tata was speechless, thinking that this person was now his host, he still started to persuade him earnestly.
"Haha, build connections? How do I build connections? How many connections can I, an emperor cultivator with no spirit stones and no family, build?"
"If you want to build up your power, refining pills is the most reliable way to earn spirit stones. However, all the alchemists in the Ten Thousand Worlds must pass the assessment of the Alchemist Union. How many cultivators dare to buy pills made privately? Moreover, once the Alchemist Union finds out, they will wipe you out. Then you will have the same troubles."
Bai Qinghua said helplessly after hearing this.
"That's right, so what do you think we should do?"
Tata was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"That's why I came to Xutian City. I want to know how alchemists survive in the world today."
As Bai Qinghua finished speaking, they had already arrived in front of a tall building. From the outside, the building looked like an enormous alchemy furnace, with a faint glow of fire flowing outside.
"You...what are you doing here? You don't want to take the test, do you?"
Tata used his divine sense to see the big words "Alchemist Guild" on the alchemy furnace and opened his mouth in shock.
"Is it not possible? I have inquired about it. If you want to rent a cave in Xutian City, you must at least be a beginner alchemist."
Bai Qinghua smiled upon hearing that and walked directly inside. However, as she walked, her cultivation level dropped and her appearance was quietly changing. By the time she entered the Alchemist's Union, she had completely transformed into an ordinary-looking female cultivator in the God Transformation Stage. With her current cultivation level, as long as they didn't meet the God King Jijun himself, basically no one could see through her disguise.
When he entered the Alchemist Union, he saw a huge hall. Bai Qinghua stopped to watch for a while, then walked towards the direction of the alchemist level assessment. In the Ten Thousand Worlds, alchemists were divided into five levels. Alchemists of levels one to three were called elementary alchemists, levels four to six were intermediate, levels seven to nine were high-level alchemists, levels ten to twelve were super alchemists, and above level twelve were the saint level. Each level of alchemist had a detailed division, corresponding to different levels of elixirs. Alchemists above level ten were super alchemists who could refine top-grade elixirs, and they were already rare in the Ten Thousand Worlds. The elixirs refined by saint alchemists contained the corresponding laws of heaven and earth, and each one was priceless. Even the God King Jijun, who was a saint alchemist, could not guarantee that every elixir he refined was a saint. The same was true for Bai Qinghua, because the laws of heaven and earth contained in the elixirs were, in a way, a reflection of the alchemist's comprehension of such laws.
What Bai Qinghua wanted to obtain today was just the junior alchemist's qualification certificate. The cultivator in charge of the examination did not find it strange to see that Bai Qinghua, a cultivator in the God Transformation stage, had only obtained a junior qualification certificate. The scarcity of resources in the Myriad Realms is not just talk. An alchemist, even a junior one, needs a large amount of junior spiritual medicines to be polished bit by bit. It is extremely difficult for a cultivator with lower cultivation to obtain these spiritual medicines without a huge backing. Therefore, many alchemists in the Myriad Realms started after their cultivation reached a high level. In this way, Bai Qinghua's cultivation level is just right.
The assessment for junior alchemists is the most common one in the Alchemist Union, so there are assessments every day. If it is an intermediate qualification assessment, it will be held at the beginning of each month, and the advanced one is only held once a year. So when the monk in charge saw that Bai Qinghua was only taking the junior qualification assessment, he asked her what level she wanted to take. Hearing that Bai Qinghua was only taking the junior level, he collected the corresponding spirit stones, and then called a little boy to lead the way, who led her directly into an alchemy room with a ready-made alchemy furnace and the spirit medicines needed for junior and low-level elixirs. After leading her in, the boy left.
Looking at the spiritual herbs needed to refine the first-grade Qi-replenishing Pill in front of her, Bai Qinghua couldn't help but remain silent. It seemed that she hadn't made such low-level pills for a long time. It would be a bit troublesome to refine a pill of lower quality. For a moment, she didn't know how to start.
"Let the little phoenix come. We can't raise so many precious spiritual creatures in vain every day."
Seeing Bai Qinghua's dilemma, Tata offered some suggestions.
"Tata is right."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinghua smiled and responded with a "tata", then let Xinxin out. She almost forgot that Xinxin was also able to refine pills, but the quality of her pills was a little lower. However, it was just right for use now.
