A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

In this holy city, only alchemists of the fifth rank or above are qualified to participate in the Alchemist Conference.

So the old man first asked about Luo Xing's alchemist level, but seeing how young the other party was...

It's hard to believe that the other party is also an alchemist, but their rank probably isn't very high.

Generally, alchemists' reputations are built on their age; which high-level alchemist isn't over a hundred years old? There are even alchemist monsters who are one or two thousand years old.

However, Luo Xing looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, or even under thirty. He would never believe that Luo Xing was a high-level alchemist.

"To be honest, young master, I also came to this alchemist conference to try my luck. Maybe I can get a good ranking."

"If you don't mind, young master, we can both participate in the Alchemist Conference. If you have any questions about the rules or anything you don't know, you can ask me."

"I am quite deeply involved in alchemy, and I have participated in the Alchemist Conference two or three times over the years."

"While your alchemy skills may not be considered high, you are very familiar with the rules of alchemy. No matter what questions you may have, I can answer them for you."

"If you don't believe me, please look at this badge of mine."

As the old man spoke, he actually took out a badge, a golden badge with the number five engraved on it.

This badge represents his rank; currently, he is a fifth-grade alchemist.

"Young master, where is your badge?"

Luo Xing was taken aback by the badge. What badge? He had just arrived in this holy city and was participating in the Alchemist Conference for the first time, so he naturally didn't know what a badge was or what significant meaning it represented. "May I ask, senior?"

"Where did this badge come from? Does it mean I can't participate in the Alchemist Conference without it?"

The old man was also stunned. He didn't expect that this kid knew nothing about this. This was common knowledge among common knowledge in the Alchemist Conference.

"Hahaha. Kid, you've come to the right person."

"This is an alchemist's badge, used to identify an alchemist's level. It is usually awarded by the alchemist guilds in various regions."

"To participate in this Alchemist Conference, one must be at least at the fifth rank."

"I happen to have some friends in the Alchemist Guild. If you don't mind, I can have my daughter take you there."

"Oh, no, I'm not going there with you to have your alchemist rank assessed."

"If your alchemist level is high enough, you can naturally participate in the Alchemist Conference."

"Of course, if your alchemist rank isn't high enough, then you'll just have to wait until the next round."

The old man stroked his beard, a hint of arrogance in his eyes. He didn't believe the other party could possess such a high alchemist level. Offering to help the other party obtain the badge was, in a way, repaying a small favor.

Luo Xing naturally did not refuse. Since someone was leading the way, it would save him the trouble of finding it himself, since he was unfamiliar with the place and the people at the Alchemist Conference.

After that, the old man led Luo Xing to the center of the Holy City.

This holy city is much, much bigger than Luo Xing imagined.

The holy city was also bustling with activity.

Basically, this holy city is full of alchemists, guild members, and alchemists from all over the country.

Elsewhere, alchemists are indeed a treasure, but in this holy city, they are not so rare.

Of course, only low-level alchemists are not scarce; high-level alchemists like them are equally precious.

Generally speaking, level 5 alchemist is the threshold for becoming an alchemist.

If an alchemist can reach level five, they can become a prominent elder in a major family.

However, according to statistics from the Alchemist Guild, on average, there is only one fifth-grade alchemist out of every 100 alchemists.

It's hard to imagine how rare a fifth-grade alchemist must be; they are basically at the very top of the pyramid.

After about half an hour, they finally brought Luo Xing to the appraisal office of the Alchemist Guild.

There were many people coming to have their items appraised in the center of the hall, so it took two or three hours to queue.

Fortunately, Elder Bai arrived with Luo Xing and his granddaughters.

After finding a steward in the center of the hall, they were able to reach the back of the hall without any problems.

At the back of the hall stood elders wearing white coats.

"Elder Bai, this is my friend, who has come to assess the alchemist's level."

"Please do me a favor. This young man is also participating in the Alchemist Conference and I hope he can reach the fifth rank."

Elder Bai nodded.

Elder Bai wore a large, round hat and had freckles on his face.

He didn't find Luo Xing particularly remarkable, nor did he sense any special spiritual energy fluctuations from him. So, he couldn't help but shake his head, automatically concluding that this kid wasn't some expert alchemist.

Of course, one cannot judge a book by its cover; this is one of his standards of conduct. So, led by Lao Bai, they arrived at the hall.

With a bang, a large stove landed in the center of the hall, attracting a crowd of people eager to witness the scene.

"Kid, you'll need to use the alchemy furnace provided by our Alchemists' Guild to have your quality assessed."

"Would you like to have this item appraised as top-grade?"

"Or you can bring out your previous appraisal badges and have them appraise the next level badge for you."

Faced with the question, Luo Xing was naturally dumbfounded. He had never come to the Alchemist Guild to have any badges appraised, so he naturally couldn't produce one.

Upon hearing Luo Xing's words, the people in the hall couldn't help but burst into laughter.

So this kid's first time coming to the Alchemist Guild to have his badge appraised? Is he really just messing around? "That's hilarious."

"Hey kid, is this your first time appraising an alchemist? Are you starting from level one?"

"Or are you really here to assess whether you're a first-grade alchemist?"

"Then I'm very sorry to tell you, you really came to the wrong place. This place is usually for appraising high-level alchemists. It's not for someone like you who is here for the first time to have their alchemist's rank appraised."

"That's quite rare, isn't it? You're not here to make everyone laugh, are you?"

Finally, someone burst into laughter. Even Elder Bai didn't know what to say for a moment. He had never been to the Alchemist Guild for appraisal before, and yet he came here right away.

At this moment, Elder Bai stepped forward and spoke.

"I hope you can do me a favor, Elder. Although this young man is here at the Alchemist Guild for the first time for appraisal, I know that his alchemy skills are far beyond those of ordinary people."

"I believe in his abilities, and I absolutely believe in them."

"Even if we don't care about the monk, we should care about the Buddha. Considering our long-standing friendship, we hope you can do us a favor."

Elder Bai didn't say anything more after hearing what Old Bai said.

"Well, this time it's really bad, it's against the rules of us alchemists."

"But since Old Bai has put it this way, then you can begin."

"Do you want to start with level one for appraisal, or go straight to the highest grade?"

"We agreed beforehand that if you want to directly appraise the highest grade, and any unexpected event occurs along the way, then the appraisal will fail, and you won't even have a level one badge."

Luo Xing nodded without saying anything more, and then began to manipulate the flames with both hands.

"I'm about to begin. I want to assess level seven."

"Seventh-grade alchemist".

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was taken aback, even Lao Bai was stunned.

"Young man, aren't you being a bit too impulsive? Do you even know what you're saying?"

"Something's wrong with the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Being? How can you, at such a young age, determine that something's wrong with the Seventh-Rank Heavenly Being? Quickly, tell him."

"Tell me the truth, how many grades can you actually identify right now?"

"If things really go wrong, not only you, but even I will lose face."

"Oh dear, what are you doing? Why do you have to suffer for the sake of saving face?"

Luo Xing couldn't help but smile and patted Lao Bai on the shoulder.

"Grandpa, I wasn't exaggerating."

"I really want to appraise seventh-grade alchemists, and I believe I have the ability to do so."

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll begin."

Old Bai shook his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The onlookers were also numb to the spectacle.

They couldn't help but laugh at Luo Xing. In this holy city, everyone knew that seventh-grade alchemists were extremely rare. How many seventh-grade alchemists were there in this holy city? Let alone seventh-grade, how many sixth-grade alchemists were there? Most of those who came to participate in this alchemist conference were only fifth-grade.

If one can reach the sixth rank in this alchemist conference, that is already considered top-tier.

It's common knowledge among alchemists that it takes about a hundred years to break through the bottleneck of the seventh rank.

But this kid looks to be only in his twenties or thirties. For him to claim he's a seventh-rank official is laughable. Even if he believed it, nobody would.

Elder Bai couldn't help but shake his head. Young people, they're still so good at pretending.

Of course, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Giving him a few setbacks might actually help him settle down and focus on his cultivation.

That's how young people are; he was just like that back in his day.

But as time went on, people gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Look at this kid, he seems to actually have some skills."
