Chapter 871 The Alchemist Badge

“Little brother, how about we also go with you?!” the Little Witch said eagerly.

Although Zhao Xingyue did not speak, she nodded repeatedly. She did not want to be separated from Qin Haodong, too.

“Today is the first day of school. It’s not good for you to be absent. You’d better go to cla.s.s!”

After Qin Haodong bought the Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit, he was going to refine the Cultivation Pill. He did not want Little Witch to be with him and was afraid that she would make trouble with him.

“But little brother you don’t attend cla.s.ses. Why should we?”

“I’m different from you!”

In terms of cultivation experience and knowledge, Qin Haodong’s level was definitely better than that of those teachers, so he didn’t need to attend cla.s.ses. He only needed enough top-level Spirit Stones.

Seeing that the Little Witch was about to say something, he immediately used his trump card. “You go to the canteen to eat in future if you are not obedient.”

“Okay! Be good!”

Since tasting Qin Haodong’s delicious food, the Little Witch would never go to the canteen again. She nodded hurriedly and said, “We go to cla.s.s now.”

Seeing the two girls walking in the direction of the cla.s.sroom, Qin Haodong smiled. Then, he walked to the Alchemist a.s.sociation.

This is the second time he came here. He was already familiar with the place. He came to the sales counter of the Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit and said to the waiter inside, “I want this Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit.”

The waiter said politely, “This student, may I ask if you have the Alchemist Medal?”

Qin Haodong was slightly surprised. “Do I need the medal to buy herbs? Ordinary students can’t buy the herbs here?”

The waiter explained, “That’s not the case. Ordinary people can also buy the herbs here but there is no discount. If you are a Level One Alchemist, you can get a 10% discount when you buy the herbs here. A Level Two Alchemist can get a 20% discount, and so on.”

Qin Haodong said in surprise, “If I were a Level Nine Alchemist, wouldn’t I get a 90% discount?”

The waiter said, “You are kidding me. The highest level in our academy is the Level Seven Alchemist, the president of our Alchemist a.s.sociation.

“This rule is set by the Alchemist a.s.sociation to encourage students of our academy to study alchemy as much as possible.”

Qin Haodong nodded. He had already seen through it. The mechanism encouraging students of the entire Tortoise Academy was the temptation of money. He then asked, “If I have an Alchemist Medal, are there any other preferential treatment?”

The waiter said, “If you have an Alchemist Medal, you can sell your pills to the Alchemist a.s.sociation.

“We dare not accept the pills refined by Alchemists without medals.

“Similarly, the higher the level of the Alchemists is, the higher the price we paid. The prices of pills from a Level One Alchemist are 10% higher than the market prices. The prices of pills from a Level Two Alchemist are 20% higher than the market prices, and so on.”

Qin Haodong thought about it. The treatment of Alchemists was really good. It seemed that he had to get a medal first. Not only would he get a discount when buying raw materials, but he could also earn more Spirit Stones when selling pills.

“This student, do you have an Alchemist Medal?”

“Not yet, but I can take the examination,” Qin Haodong said. “How can I take the examination of getting an Alchemist Medal?”

The waiter was slightly stunned and then said, “This student, it seems that you don’t know much about the Alchemist industry. Alchemists have a very high status in the entire Lingwu Continent because every cultivator needs to buy pills from them.

“To become an Alchemist is also very difficult. I advise you to learn for a while longer before applying for the exam.”

Qin Haodong said, “You don’t have to worry about that. Just tell me how to take the exam.”

The waiter shook his head and said, “The examination room for the Alchemist Medal is on the left from here but I advise you to think about it carefully.

“Because each registration fee of the examination is 10 top-level Spirit Stones. If you are not sure of success, this money will be wasted.”

“Ten top-level Spirit Stones? So expensive?!”

Qin Haodong felt that it was really difficult to do a thing in the Tortoise Academy without money.

The waiter said, “The examination is naturally charged. The academy also costs money to run. Furthermore, if there are no requirements, there will be students coming to take the exams every day. The academy will be extremely busy.”

Qin Haodong nodded. Although the exam would cost some money, it was generally worth it.

With his current ability, he could at least obtain a Level Five Alchemist Medel. It wasn’t that his alchemy skills were insufficient but that he was completely limited by his cultivation.

The higher the level of the pills is, the higher the requirements for the internal strength of the Alchemist. The reason why an Alchemist was respected by people was that an Alchemist could refine high-quality pills and also was the expert at martial arts but the combat capability was a little worse than that of a warrior at the same level.

He left the medicine sales hall and followed the waiter’s instruction to the nearby Alchemist examination room.

When he arrived, there were already more than a dozen candidates gathered in front of the door. It seemed that they were all here for the Alchemist Medal. What surprised him was that he met Zhang Dapeng here.

“Brother Qin, you’re here.” Zhang Dapeng also saw Qin Haodong. He warmly came over and looked Qin Haodong up and down to seemingly see if Qin Haodong was injured.

“Little brother, the Little Witch didn’t make things difficult for you yesterday, right?”

“No, I’m fine!” Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Brother Zhang, are you also here to take the Alchemist Medal exam?”

Zhang Dapeng said, “Yes, although I cultivate martial arts, it will be convenient for me to go anywhere with an Alchemist Medal. It will be much cheaper to buy herbs.

“But it’s too difficult to take this exam. This is already the third time I’ve taken it. If I still fail, I’ll give up.”

At this time, there was a snicker from the side. “You guys from the Martial Arts Academy are all boorish. You don’t know how to refine pills. It’s a waste of money to come here to take the exam. I advise you to go back honestly and save some Spirit Stones for cultivation.”

Qin Haodong looked back and saw a grade two student in a black school uniform standing behind them and looking at them with a sneer.

Zhang Dapeng said, “Ma Yan, what are you so proud of? Although you are a student of the Alchemy Department, you haven’t got a medal yet.”

The student named Ma Yan said, “What do you know? It’s called steadiness. After a year of study, I’m now 100% sure that I can get a Level One Alchemist Medal. I won’t be like you who took the exam for three years and still failed.

“You’re a warrior. Just upgrade your cultivation in earnest. Take the alchemist exam. You are overly ambitious.”

“You…”

Zhang Dapeng was so angry that his face turned red but he had nothing to say. After all, he had taken the exam for three years without any achievements.

Ma Yan’s face was full of pride. Obviously, he was not satisfied after teasing Zhang Dapeng, so he turned to look at Qin Haodong again.

“You are a new student that has just entered the academy, so you should solidly learn knowledge. Coming here to take the exam for getting an Alchemist Medal right after entering the academy, do you really know who you are?

“As your brother, I can responsibly tell you that this Alchemist exam is not something that just anyone can take. You had best obediently return and upgrade your cultivation.”

Qin Haodong glanced at him and said lightly, “You’ve been studying at Tortoise Academy for a year and barely reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. As a student major in alchemy, you didn’t even get a medal. I really don’t know why you feel so superior. If I were you, I would have killed myself.”

“You…”

Generally speaking, new students were very respectful to old students, especially new students like Qin Haodong, who had just entered the academy a few days ago.

But Ma Yan didn’t expect that the young man didn’t take him seriously. His words were so sharp that they were even sharper than what he had just said to Zhang Dapeng.

He suddenly blushed and shouted, “Boy, how can you say that? So what if I’m at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm? Is your level be higher than mine?”

Seeing that Ma Yan was embarra.s.sed, Zhang Dapeng felt more comfortable than drinking iced beer. He said happily, “Brother Qin’s cultivation is really higher than yours. He is the king of freshmen this year. He has just entered the academy but he is already at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm.”

“Uh…”

Ma Yan didn’t expect the cultivation gap between them to be so big. A freshman who had just entered the academy was so powerful but he still shouted, “So what? You are from the Martial Arts Department. It doesn’t matter if you have higher cultivation. If you have the ability, you can get an Alchemist Medal for me to see!”

“Don’t worry! Your wish will come true soon!”

Qin Haodong turned to Zhang Dapeng and said, “Brother Zhang, do you know how we register for the exam here? Can I directly apply for the Level Five Alchemist?”

Zhang Dapeng was startled. “Uh… Brother, did I hear correctly? You actually want to take the exam to become the Level Five Alchemist?”

Qin Haodong said, “Yes, I think it’s too much trouble to get one level at a time. It’s better to finish it in one go.”

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Ma Yan seemed to have immediately found an attacking opportunity. He immediately shouted, “Boy, you really don’t know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth. Do you think you are an immortal?

“Do you think you’re senior sister Fang Qiong’er? Do you think you can get the Level Six Alchemist Medal before graduation?”

Qin Haodong ignored him and said to Zhang Dapeng, “Brother Zhang, who is Fang Qiong’er? Is she one of the top ten masters you mentioned yesterday?”

Zhang Dapeng said, “Yes, it’s her. There are geniuses in this world. I have to admit that the cultivation of Fang Qiong’er has reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm. She is the only student in the academy who has gotten the Level Five Alchemist Medel.

“She was the proudest student of Su Wuxian, the President of the Alchemist a.s.sociation. I heard that she would become the vice president of the Alchemist a.s.sociation after graduation. Now, she was responsible for the student’s examination.

“That is to say, she’ll be our examinant later.”

Ma Yan also shouted, “Did you hear that? She is the real genius. Compared with senior sister Fang Qiong’er, you are nothing.”

Qin Haodong sneered and glanced at him. “Is Fang Qiong’er your girlfriend?”

“This… senior sister Fang Qiong’er is a girl in our academy. How can I be worthy of her?”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“No, senior sister Fang Qiong’er doesn’t know me at all.”

Qin Haodong sneered and said, “Since she doesn’t even know you, it’s none of your business how good she is, okay?”

“You… Fang Qiong’er is my senior sister. I am naturally proud of her excellence.”

Qin Haodong said, “People like you should work hard to improve yourself. Don’t always take someone who has nothing to do with you as the thing to show off.”

Ma Yan blushed and was about to say something when a cold voice came. “This is the examination room. Be quiet.”

Qin Haodong looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a female student in a purple school uniform coming in.

This girl was tall and slender, well-defined. Her long hair draped over her shoulders. In terms of looks, she was not inferior to Zhao Xingyue and Luo Hongying. The difference was that the arrogance on her face stood above all other beings.
