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

Luo Xing took a deep breath and then took out the pill. It was a black pill with tiny patterns on it.

"Elder, this is the pill I refined. Its medicinal effects can purify most toxins, and even purify the body and remove impurities. If an ordinary person were to take one of these pills, it would be enough to expel all the toxins from their body at once, and could even raise their physical constitution by three levels."

"Elder Yao may not know whether the pill I refined can be considered acceptable."

The elder nodded frantically. "Qualified, qualified, absolutely qualified!" He had worked in the guild for so long, seen countless geniuses and seasoned veterans, but never before had he produced such a pill. This pill was superior to all the ones he had refined in previous years, even surpassing everything he had ever seen. This was enough to prove that the young man opposite him, though seemingly young, possessed extremely high alchemy skills.

The old man couldn't help but pat Luo Xing on the shoulder. He hadn't expected that the kid he'd picked up on the road would be such a skilled alchemist. This was far superior to his own in terms of item quantity level, which he'd been stuck on for years without being able to make any progress.

It's more accurate to say decades rather than a few years; if we consider today, it's been over 20 years.

He was stuck at the fifth-grade alchemist level for even longer than the other person had lived. How shameful!

"Elder, now that the ammunition I've refined has passed the test, I wonder if I can receive the badge you mentioned?"

Luo Xing didn't mince words. He was only there for the badge, not wanting to say much or even make any friends. For him, participating in the Alchemy Competition was paramount. His goal was to win first place, though he currently considered that impossible. After all, there were always stronger competitors, and he didn't believe anyone in the entire Alchemist City had a higher alchemist rank than him.

Elder Yao nodded hastily, then handed a badge to the man surnamed Luo. It was impolite, but he then personally pinned the badge on Luo Xing's finger. To someone like him, Luo Xing was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.

What their Alchemist Guild lacks now isn't some old monster, but a true genius capable of growth. For them, seventh-grade alchemists who are hundreds or even thousands of years old are not uncommon, but a seventh-grade alchemist in their twenties is a rare find.

It's even said that such an alchemist has never appeared before. The last time a pharmacist in his thirties appeared was when their guild leader was the last one.

However, their legendary president has been missing for over a hundred years, and now only their vice president is in charge of this holy city.

Luo Xing glanced at the golden badge on his chest and nodded in satisfaction. This badge was enough to mark a seventh-grade alchemist.

The alchemists standing by cast envious glances, but that was all they could do; they knew they lacked such skill. Many of those who had just mocked Luo Xing lowered their heads in shame, and a few female alchemists even tried to approach him. But Luo Xing ignored them all. To him, weren't Liu Yan and Lily far superior to these superficial beauties?

At this moment, Old Master Bai even had an idea: what if he gave his granddaughter away?

If all else fails, how about marrying our granddaughter to this young man? If we can successfully marry him, he can act as a witness for our family and give them their blessing. With the father and daughter backing them up, who in their family would dare to object?

Of course, he was only thinking about it for now. How could such a talented disciple be distinguished from their family? Although their family was remembered in that city, it still seemed rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things on the Central Continent.

Senior Zhao smiled slightly, not expecting this young man to bring him such a surprise. It seemed that his journey from Black Soil City to this Holy City, following Luo Xing all the way, had truly been a stroke of good luck. If he could truly befriend this young man, it would be a great help to him in the future.

"Hey, wait for me, wait for me."

Old Master Bai caught up with him, and kept asking questions of the surname Luo along the way, mostly about principles. He kept asking Luo Xing if he had any plans for marriage leave this year.

But clearly, Luo Xing had no interest whatsoever, rejecting the other party with just a few simple words. For him, nothing was more important than participating in the Alchemist Conference.

After Elder Bai returned to the hotel and told his granddaughter Bai Xue about what had happened, Bai Xue stared at Luo Xing with a dumbfounded look.

"Grandpa, what did you say? You said he's the seventh-grade alchemist who triggered the heavenly lightning."

"No, no, no, Grandpa, something must be wrong with you. How could this be?"

"A seventh-grade alchemist. But do you want to see how old he is? He's only in his early twenties, about the same age as me. How could he possibly be a seventh-grade alchemist? I'm only a fourth-grade alchemist now."

Even Bai Xue, a fourth-grade alchemist, is considered one of the top alchemists in her family. It's hard to imagine a seventh-grade alchemist in their twenties. What terrifying words could be used to describe her?

After that, the way he looked at Luo Xing changed.

“Granddaughter, I’ve already inquired about it for you. This boy doesn’t have any sense of justice yet. You’re not bad-looking either. If you can persuade him to come home with us, we can make him come home.”

"At that time, putting everything else aside, as long as his seventh-rank good teacher badge is on the table, those old fogies in our family will naturally make an exception."

"Oh, no, it should be that they treat him like an ancestor."

"It's even highly likely that you'll become the patriarch of our family in the future. Granddaughter, you must seize this opportunity! A seventh-grade alchemist isn't someone we can just meet whenever we want."

"Besides, you're not very tall either, and we have a connection with this kid. I've pretty much figured out everything about him."

"This kid is absolutely top-notch in both character and talent."

"If you don't seize this opportunity this time, you might not get another chance like it."

"Child, have you thought this through?"

For a moment, Bai Xue's face turned red, not expecting her grandfather to say such things to her.

"Grandpa, maybe we should discuss this matter more carefully. Isn't this a bit too sudden?"

"Are you really sure there's no reason why someone as outstanding as him wouldn't be like this? Is there some misunderstanding? I think so."

"Wouldn't it be too presumptuous of me to just show up like this? What if people think I'm some kind of bad guy?"

Grandpa Bai looked at his granddaughter with a disappointed expression.

If he doesn't seize such a good opportunity, he, as the grandfather, will definitely regret it later, and might even die with regrets.

If only her daughter were truly beautiful. Back then, elders from surrounding villages and even some prodigies from various sects wanted to propose marriage. However, she simply didn't find any of them attractive.

But Luo Xing in front of us is completely different.

He wasn't thinking of immediately pushing his granddaughter into a pit of fire; it was just that if she missed this opportunity, finding another such excellent man would be incredibly difficult.

After some mental preparation, Bai Xue decided to listen to her grandfather; if things went well, that would be the best outcome.

But if it doesn't work out, then so be it. After all, how could someone as outstanding as him possibly be interested in him? Although his appearance is not bad, in this world of cultivation, appearance isn't really the most important thing. After all, in this world of cultivation, strength is paramount.

"Then what should I do, Grandpa? You can't expect me to just throw myself at you, can you?"

Grandpa Bai rubbed his chin as he listened to his granddaughter's words. Since she seemed to have this idea, that was good; he was just worried she wouldn't understand. So, Grandpa Bai began to think of a plan for her.

If you throw yourself at someone, they'll definitely look down on you. Even if you become partners, you might still be abandoned. The best way is mutual affection. First, you should try to find out if they like you back.

"Daughter, listen to me, send some delicious food to Luo Xing later."

"That kid has been busy for a long time, and probably hasn't even had a few sips of water. Why don't you send him some delicious food over to find out what's going on?"

"Maybe he likes you too, right? Look at you, you little rascal, so pretty and with a great figure."

"Men, old men, I still understand them."

"A man is a boy until he dies. Although that child is a seventh-grade alchemist, I doubt he can completely resist the allure of beauty."

"If that's the case, wouldn't all those children become immortals?"

"Go quickly, first ask for a few dishes from downstairs to sound them out."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll come pick me up now."

Not long after, Bai Xue called downstairs several delicious dishes. She brought them up and finally placed the plates in front of Luo Xing.

Luo Xing looked at Bai Xue, somewhat surprised that the girl had entered the room.

"Miss Baixue, is there something you need from me? Or has your grandfather's illness relapsed and you want to come to me for treatment?"

Nuoxing looked at the dishes Bai Xue had brought over, each one an expensive item. He concluded that Bai Xue must have something to ask of him; otherwise, why would she be so attentive for no reason?

Bai Xue even deliberately tossed her hair and leaned forward slightly.

"Um, Young Master Luo."

"Actually, I just wanted to ask you a question that you might not know the answer to, but could you please enlighten me?"

Luo Xing was taken aback by the question; this little girl had come in to ask him a question.

After a moment of contemplation, Luo Xing seemed to have figured something out. Could it be that the alchemist's skill level today had been leaked? Was this little brat coming in to ask about the alchemy formula?
