1186 The Youngest Senior Alchemist in History
Chu Yunfan looked at Kong Buyi with a faint smile. Obviously, Kong Buyi didn’t want him to continue talking. After all, this antidote pill was developed with great difficulty. If Chu Yunfan continued to talk and made everything public, it would be terrible.
Although Chu Yunfan didn’t have such strength, Kong Buyi thought that he did.
Because of this, he didn’t let Chu Yunfan continue. Since Chu Yunfan already had such strength, there was no point in continuing to make things difficult for him.
However, he also wanted to know who exactly Chu Yunfan was. One had to know that when he took the senior alchemist assessment, he was trembling with fear. In the end, he passed the examination with great difficulty.
Back then, he had more or less relied on luck. He had not been present with medicinal pills that were particularly difficult to identify. Otherwise, he might not have passed.
He couldn’t be like Chu Yunfan, who could easily complete all the tests.
The remaining two elders didn’t need to continue the test. Chu Yunfan had already answered three questions correctly, so he naturally didn’t need to continue.
The crowd was instantly in an uproar. They seemed to have seen a miracle happen in front of them.
“Senior alchemist! He actually passed the senior alchemist assessment. What should we call him now? Master Chu?”
“He has overcome all the obstacles along his way. Since when did such a genius appear in the Great Wei Kingdom?”
“At this rate, how long will it take for him to become an alchemy expert? I’m afraid it won’t take long.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Ye Qiaoxin, who was in the crowd, was also completely dumbfounded. Although she had some premonition before, when Chu Yunfan really became a senior alchemist, she still felt that it was unreal. He was probably the youngest senior alchemist she knew.
There had never been a young senior alchemist before, let alone one who was so outstanding.
Amidst the commotion, Chu Yunfan left with Kong Buyi to collect his senior alchemist certificate. Chu Yunfan also had to complete the registration. At that time, Kong Buyi would be able to find out Chu Yunfan’s identity.
Of course, these were all handled by others. Chu Yunfan just had to wait patiently.
“My friend, you truly are young and promising. To be honest, I’ve never seen a genius like you!” Kong Buyi, who was waiting in the guest room, said directly.
Chu Yunfan smiled slightly. In this world, the strong were respected. Obviously, Kong Buyi did not dare to underestimate his strength. However, in fact, Kong Buyi had underestimated Chu Yunfan. What he thought was the limit of Chu Yunfan’s strength was far from what he saw on the surface.
“President Kong, you flatter me,” Chu Yunfan said.
Kong Buyi really did not dare to underestimate Chu Yunfan. In the Alchemist Association of the Great Wei Kingdom, a senior alchemist could become a local branch president. If he was in the headquarters, he could also be an elder with high authority. Moreover, Chu Yunfan was still so young. He might be able to become an alchemy expert in less than two years. At that time, his authority would be above Kong Buyi’s.
“I haven’t asked. Are you from Conglong City, my friend?” Kong Buyi asked.
“Oh, actually, I’m a member of the loyal and trustworthy Chu clan,” Chu Yunfan said vaguely.
This was not a secret and it would be exposed sooner or later so Chu Yunfan did not hide it.
“So you’re the descendant of a noble!” Kong Buyi said as he came to a sudden realization. In the system of the Great Wei Kingdom, the nobility possessed an extremely high status. At the same time, they also possessed powerful financial resources that many people did not dare to imagine.
“I can’t be considered a direct descendant of the Chu clan. I’m just a branch member,” Chu Yunfan said nonchalantly. The Chu Yunfan that he was replacing was only distantly related to Marquis Zhongxin, let alone him.
Seeing that Chu Yunfan was not willing to be proud of the Chu Clan, Kong Buyi felt that it was normal. With Chu Yunfan’s current achievements in alchemy, he could even be on equal footing with the Marquis Zhongxin.
A mere family member of Marquis Zhongxin might be an honor for others, but for Chu Yunfan, it was nothing. If Chu Yunfan could become an alchemy expert in the future, his status would be above the marquis, and he would be on equal footing with those famous princes.
This was the pride that everyone on the path of alchemy should have.
“Oh right, do you have a comms talisman that can imprint my primordial spirit? If anything comes up, I can contact you immediately,” Kong Buyi said.
In the Spirit Realm, there were no personal communication devices like in the Federation. However, there was another system that was developed based on martial arts. There was a communication talisman that was passed down among experts. Experts above the Innate Stage could add a wisp of primordial spirit mark into it and transmit messages from thousands of miles away.
It was the same as calling through in the Federation.
“In fact, I do,” Chu Yunfan said.
He took out his comms talisman. In a whole year, he had only added Chu Hongcai, and Kong Buyi was the second person.
Soon, not long after adding Kong Buyi, Elder Xu came in with an identification card. It was a card made of special metal with the words “Chu Yunfan — Senior Alchemist.”
This was the Alchemist Association’s specially made identity card, refined by the Alchemist Association’s special method. No one could impersonate it, and no one dared would dare to either. Otherwise, they would be hunted down by the entire Alchemist Association.
After Chu Yunfan put away the identity card, Kong Buyi wanted to invite Chu Yunfan to have a meal with him. He wanted to rope in this young genius with a limitless future, but Chu Yunfan was not interested in these things and directly refused.
Not long after Chu Yunfan left, Kong Buyi said to Elder Xu, “Investigate everything about Chu Yunfan, especially the sect behind him!”
Just now, Chu Yunfan had only said that he was from Marquis Zhongxin’s household. However, Marquis Zhongxin’s household was so big, and Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary clansman. Most importantly, as far as he knew, Marquis Zhongxin’s household had nothing to do with the alchemy line. It was impossible for them to cultivate a genius like Chu Yunfan.
There was only one possibility, and that was that there must be an expert behind Chu Yunfan. It was even very likely that this expert was an alchemy expert!
Kong Buyi couldn’t sleep or eat at ease if he didn’t figure it out.
Chu Yunfan left the Alchemist Association but did not return to the Marquis Zhongxin’s household. Instead, he went straight to the city’s pill street. On this street, there were all kinds of shops selling pills. Chu Yunfan looked around as he walked and soon arrived at the real estate agency at the corner of the street.
This would be a brand new beginning for him.
