Endless Devouring

Chapter 93 You are the frog in the well

"The fifth-grade elixir can be refined, but I haven't had time to verify my identity as a pharmacist."

He smiled helplessly, as if he was a wild alchemist.

Except for Yao Lao, no one knew his level of refining medicine.

……

After walking for a while, we arrived at our destination.

This is the place where the alchemist guild in the imperial capital is located, and it can be regarded as the largest exchange place for alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire.

The tall building is located at the end of the bustling street. It is as tall as the Yuma restaurant we went to last night, and it covers an area several times wider.

Many people wearing alchemist costumes came in and out, which seemed quite lively.

As he approached, the guards at the gate stopped him.

"letter of introduction!"

The guard said as usual.

"No."

Xiao Ding had a letter of introduction from Hammer, he raised his hand: "But I can prove that I am a pharmacist."

puff!
A group of blue flames burned fiercely in the palm of his hand, the scorching heat distorted the nearby air, and the heat wave rolled.

The guard who was still indifferent just now saw Qinglian's heart fire, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was extremely surprised: "Condensing real fire, you are... a fourth-rank alchemist?"

It is not necessarily a pharmacist who can condense real fire, but if this person comes here, it is probably enough.

Seeing that this person is just a teenager, how high is his grade?He wasn't hallucinating, was he?
The alchemists who passed by also looked sideways in surprise.

"This person's flame... is not simple!"

"It's too young, it should be due to its tender face, it's impossible to reach the fourth rank at this age!"

"Whether it is or not, a terrible opponent has come to this conference."

The alchemists nearby lamented that many people did not believe that Xiao Ding could reach the fourth rank in his teens.

"Can you go in?"

Xiao Ding put away the strange fire, and asked lightly.

"My lord, please come in!"

The guard stepped aside respectfully.

Xiao Ding strode into it.

The interior is spacious and bright, and it seems a lot quieter.

"My lord, I don't know what needs you have?"

The movement just now attracted the attention of the guild staff. As soon as they entered, a tall woman in black came over and asked politely.

"Measure my pharmacist level so that I can participate in the pharmacist conference."

Xiao Ding said his request.

"Please follow me to fill in the information."

The woman brought Xiao Ding to a counter, took out a parchment and asked, "My lord, please tell me your name, age, and the name of your mentor."

"Xiao Ding, 15 years old, mentor old medicine."

The woman looked up in astonishment, looking at the tall and burly Xiao Ding in disbelief: "Are you sure you're only 15 years old?"

"It's growing faster, but my face doesn't look very old, does it?"

Xiao Ding touched his cheek, it stands to reason that he has recently cultivated a silver body, and his skin is silvery white, so he should be very young.

"Uh, it's because I don't know much. The main reason is that I don't usually see 15-year-old alchemists. Just now, I saw you unleash real fire, so I thought you were not young."

The woman smiled awkwardly, and asked curiously: "I don't know which rank of pharmacists are you going to test? Second rank?"

She asked carefully, raising the upper limit of her guess by one rank as much as possible.

"Temporary grade four, it should be enough."

Xiao Ding felt that he still had to keep a hand, and he couldn't just tell others that he had reached the fifth rank.

After he finished speaking, he found a sudden silence.

The woman in front of her was a little messy, and she was stunned!
"Can't you keep a low profile, kid? In this small place, it's pretty good to be a first-rank alchemist at your age. You said fourth-rank alchemists aren't afraid to scare people?"

Yao Lao couldn't help teasing.

"Didn't Senior Sister ask me to be more high-profile, and I still keep a little bit of it."

Xiao Ding curled his lips, and said to the woman in black: "Is there any problem? This is the headquarters of the entire Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild, let alone the fourth-rank alchemist can't be assessed?"

The woman withdrew her stiff chin and smiled wryly: "My lord didn't joke with the little girl, did you? Are you really 15 years old?"

How old is this 15 years old?There is a 15-year-old fourth-grade pharmacist?
The woman muttered to herself.

Xiao Ding suddenly became unhappy, "What do you mean, I look very old?"

"No... no, that's not what I meant."

The woman shook her head hastily, not wanting to offend Xiao Ding.

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of many alchemists.

Some of them sneered: "A 15-year-old to assess the fourth grade? I think you are deliberately pretending to be young to show off?"

"That's right, which of these fourth-rank pharmacists is not 50 years old, and the older ones are all gray-haired!"

Another person laughed.

Xiao Ding frowned, he never thought that he would reveal his real age, which made people doubtful.

"Ahem, old man Otto, a fourth-grade pharmacist in Black Rock City."

A gray-haired old man came over: "If you are a fourth-grade pharmacist from the Jia Ma Empire, we should have seen them all. Could it be that you are from another empire?"

"no!"

Xiao Ding's expression was calm, and he didn't feel annoyed because his behavior was suspected by others. He asked blankly, "Can I be assessed here?"

According to him, if you want to participate in the conference, you must have certain qualifications, either it is not the badge of the alchemist level examination, or someone recommends it.

"Hmph, I think you are the one from other empires who came to dismantle the stage. You originally wanted to participate in the conference, but you turned out to be over the age?"

Another old man stood up dissatisfied, he came with Otto, his name was Frank, there were four silver ripples on the special clothes, and he was also a fourth-rank alchemist.

He sneered: "Even if you fake your age, you should choose someone who is 25 years old, right? If you say you are 15 years old and you have to test the fourth grade, do you really think everyone is a fool?"

Xiao Ding frowned slightly, looked at a group of people pointing at him, showing a mocking look: "No, you are not fools."

"Look, there is indeed a problem. He has admitted it himself. It is probably some old guy who pretends to be young and wants to take advantage of it!"

"I think he is an alchemist from other empires who came to disrupt the situation. He wants to win the championship in the conference and slap our Jia Ma Empire in the face!"

"It makes sense, he may have been tender in the first place, or he changed his appearance and took special medicine!"

Before Xiao Ding could say the next sentence, a group of people thought they were making an underground definition.

Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly, and continued: "You are not fools, you are frogs in a well!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant of silence, and a needle could be heard.

Then, everyone's breathing was obviously rapid, and anger appeared on their faces.

Isn't this sentence equivalent to saying: sitting here is rubbish?
Tolerable or unbearable!
"Who are you scolding?"

"It's abominable!"

"Why is he so arrogant!"

A group of people turned red, pointing at Xiao Ding angrily and yelling, if they were not all pharmacists, their fighting power is not strong, they probably rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

Xiao Ding was stunned, he seemed to have angered everyone!

"Hahaha!"

Yao Lao laughed gloatingly: "I never thought you would be here today. You must have pretended to be a part of it just now, but the result was beyond their knowledge, and none of them believed you."

Xiao Ding twitched: "Can this be my fault? I still have some reservations. If I said that I was going to test the fifth grade just now, would I be considered a lunatic?"
