Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

In the Monster Mountain Range, towns like Green Mountain Town, which are almost entirely composed of mercenaries, are rare.

Most of them are large cities like Utan, but in the far east of the Monster Mountains, there is a city called Blackrock City.

For example, Utan City, this Black Rock City is undoubtedly much larger, with the entire city built on a huge black rock.

The city walls, built of black rocks, are said to have withstood the combined attack of two Dou Wang powerhouses without faltering, demonstrating their formidable defensive capabilities.

The reason Xiao Yan came here is because it is the only city with a flying post station within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Although Xiao Yan is now an eight-star Great Dou Master, if he were to fly the entire way in Eagle Wings, it would probably take him a week to reach the capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

Therefore, riding the giant flying monsters at the Flying Station is the best choice.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan chose Black Rock City for another reason: there was an alchemist guild there.

Since obtaining Lu Chang's notebook, Xiao Yan has never stopped refining pills.

Although most of the pills in Lu Chang's ring had lost much of their medicinal properties, they were still perfectly usable for refining pills.

During the month or so that he lived with Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan contacted her repeatedly every day.

With his own cultivation and the assistance of the strange fire, Xiao Yan quickly mastered the basics.

The success rate of refining a first-grade pill is now 80-90%.

Alchemists have always been a walking advertisement on the continent, and embarking on this path is undoubtedly an opportunity to soar to great heights.

Xiao Yan's trip to the capital of the Jia Ma Empire was to seek out the Pill King Gu He at the Yunlan Sect and become his disciple.

However, before that, he himself was also trying to refine first-grade pills. If he could successfully become a first-grade alchemist in Black Rock City, it would undoubtedly bring many benefits.

As soon as he entered Blackrock City, a cacophony of noise filled his ears.

For Xiao Yan, who was used to the tranquility of the small valley, it was actually a little uncomfortable.

"Let's find a hotel to stay in for the day and get some rest."

Since the goal is to become a first-grade alchemist, it's essential to ensure you're in top condition.

As the first rays of dawn shone upon the earth, Xiao Yan got up early and set off.

When he asked the innkeeper for the location of the Alchemist Guild, his previously impatient old face immediately became extremely respectful and obsequious.

This contrast made Xiao Yan unable to suppress his laughter, and it also indirectly demonstrated the nobility of alchemists.

After asking around along the way, Xiao Yan traversed several long streets and finally found a magnificent building in a relatively secluded place.

The building resembled a giant medicine cauldron, and the windows on the house were uniquely designed like the vents of that cauldron.

Above the roof, a huge cauldron lid fell down, covering the entire house.

On that building, a sandalwood plaque hangs with five large characters: Alchemist Guild.

Xiao Yan was somewhat excited and was about to walk in when he was stopped by two guards at the entrance. The two guards were fully armed and their cultivation level was above eight-star Dou Zhe.

It has to be said that someone with the strength to become the vice leader of a mercenary group in Qingshan Town is only considered a gatekeeper here.

"Sir, this is the Alchemists' Guild. To enter, you need a letter of introduction from your mentor or an official alchemist badge. Please show them to us before we can let you in."

Xiao Yan was taken aback; he really didn't know that the Alchemist Guild had rules.

I learned all my alchemy skills from a notebook; I can't very well say that my mentor is dead.

"Don't say anymore, teacher. I think I've mastered it. I'm sure I'll pass the first-grade alchemist exam this time!"

Just as Xiao Yan was stopped in front of the Alchemist Guild, the girl's voice came from afar.

"Oh my goodness, with your current skill level, you can't even properly shape a pill into a circle, so don't come here and embarrass yourself!"

Beside the girl was a kind-looking old man. On his specially made robe was a badge of a medicine cauldron, with four exquisite silver ripples, indicating his rank.

Fourth-grade alchemist!

Such a person would be considered a major figure in the entire Gama Empire.

In front of the old man was a scantily clad girl with a curvaceous figure.

The girl was petite, with a playful and slightly childish face, and looked a year or two older than Xiao Yan.

Her temperament is lively and unrestrained, much like a wild kitten.

The girl completely ignored Xiao Yan and walked up to the two guards: "Is it fun to block the way? Get out of my way, both of you. I'm here today to take the test for a first-grade alchemist qualification."

The two guards clearly recognized the girl, and their faces immediately lit up with smiles: "So you're Miss Linfei! Truly worthy of being called Blackrock City's genius alchemist. You've only been under Master Otto's wing for a year, and you're already able to participate in the first-grade alchemist assessment!"

Lin Fei seemed quite pleased with the two guards' flattery: "Of course, once I become a formal alchemist, I won't treat you badly."

"Of course, of course! Miss Linfei, please take good care of me then!"

The two guards smiled and stepped aside, letting Linfei in.

The old man behind her sighed and followed.

"Master Otto, you truly deserve to be one of the strongest alchemists in Blackrock City. You were able to train a first-grade alchemist in just one year. You should know that even the Pill King Guhe only became a first-grade alchemist at this age back then."

Upon hearing their conversation, the old man's expression immediately turned very strange, but in the end, he was too embarrassed to explain.

"Gentlemen, that young lady in front didn't seem to show any letter of introduction or alchemist badge, so why was she allowed to go in?"

After Lin Fei went inside, Xiao Yan immediately asked her a question.

"Young man, a letter of introduction is proof of a third-grade or higher alchemist. The person following behind that young lady was a fourth-grade alchemist. His words are more effective than any letter of introduction."

It wasn't that the two guards were breaking the rules, but rather that the young lady's teacher was a top alchemist in Blackrock City, and was already a familiar face here.

This put Xiao Yan in a difficult position, as he had neither a letter of introduction nor a pharmacist's badge.

Just then, another group of people walked over: "Why are people blocking the door so early in the morning? What happened?"

A gentle voice came, and another old man led a young girl slowly to the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.

Like the previous Master Otto, this old man also had four silver ripples, making him another fourth-grade alchemist!

However, Xiao Yan's attention was now entirely focused on the girl beside him.

The girl had an indifferent expression, and her whole being was like a legendary elf, ethereal and mysterious.

Most importantly, her hair and eyebrows were not the usual black, but a bright silver that shimmered with a subtle sheen!
