Chapter 1917: Fifth‑Rank Alchemist

Ye Liuyun himself didn't feel anything, but after the two Hall Masters exchanged a glance, the latter Hall Master took out two items and asked Ye Liuyun: "Young man, take a look, what are these two things, what are their properties?"

Ye Liuyun didn't even step close; from afar he scanned with his Golden Pupil and answered directly: "One is Dragon Serpent Grass, must be over a thousand years old, can be used to refine pills for the Dragon Clan, and also to make luring pills for ferocious beasts."

"But your Dragon Serpent Grass is contaminated with Demon Qi, cannot be used."

"The other is the young chrysalis of a Spring‑cherishing Insect."

"It can be used to refine pills for protecting pregnancy and the like."

"However the interior of this chrysalis has already rotted."

"Probably it wasn't preserved well, so it can't be used."

"Dragon Serpent Grass can also be used to make luring pills for ferocious beasts?"

The other Hall Master immediately asked.

"Of course, used properly, it's even more effective than Dragon Blood!"

Ye Liuyun said casually.

"Then you help me look at this pill formula, how should it be revised!"

The other Hall Master instantly got up and handed a luring‑pill formula to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately crossed out the two ingredients and replaced them with Dragon Serpent Grass.

While revising, he said: "Although Thousand‑Mile Fragrance has a strong scent, many ferocious beasts cannot smell it; as a seasoning for human consumption it's actually better."

"Dragon Blood does attract ferocious beasts, but only satisfies their appetite; once they sense danger they won't fall for it."

"Dragon Serpent Grass has a stronger lure, making them unable to forget it!"

Ye Liuyun has raised ferocious beasts and monster beasts for years, and knows their habits very well.

"Good, good!"

The Deputy Hall Master praised repeatedly, carefully storing the formula.

Afterwards, the Hall Master also asked Ye Liuyun: "You just glanced from afar and already knew both the Dragon Serpent Grass and the chrysalis had problems?"

"Hmm, my eyes are a bit special!"

Ye Liuyun didn't hide it.

Because these are things ordinary eyes cannot discern.

"Alas! If only I had met you earlier!"

The other Hall Master, hearing this, slapped his own thigh.

The Hall Master laughed: "You're talking about me! You finally found the source of the problem, yet a junior spotted it with a single glance."

The other Hall Master also nodded repeatedly, explaining to Ye Liuyun: "These two were the issues I finally uncovered after a failed pill refinement; I didn't expect you to see them at a glance."

Ye Liuyun smiled modestly, saying: "Those directly involved are confused, outsiders see clearly! Sometimes when a pill refinement goes wrong, you can't find the cause, but an outsider can spot it instantly—that's normal, says nothing."

"Haha, you kid do have a way with words! I am Ma Tiantong, Hall Master of this Alchemist Alliance Hall."

"I heard Yao Danshi say you come from the Mortal Realm, haven't taken a master yet; how about you take me as master?"

"Eh?"

"Why are you jumping in again? Clearly I wanted to recruit a disciple, why are you meddling?"

The other Hall Master immediately grabbed Ma Tiantong who was about to walk toward Ye Liuyun.

Then he also vied for Ye Liuyun: "You kid, don't think his title matters; his alchemy skill isn't as high as mine."

"Take me as master; my master name is Jin Dayong, and I have many novel alchemical materials here!"

Ma Tiantong instantly retorted: "Come off it, you—those broken things of yours, you can even show off..."

The two suddenly fought over Ye Liuyun, even pulling each other; if Yao Danshi didn't intervene, they might both start fighting.

This left Ye Liuyun somewhat stunned.

It was truly unexpected!

Lin Xiyao was on the side, covering her mouth and laughing.

At this moment, Ma Tiantong, blushing and with a thick neck, shouted: "This kid is stronger than you; keep training and he'll soon catch up to you."

"You still have the nerve to call yourself his master!"

"What about you?

How much stronger are you than him?

If he goes to the Central Region and finds a famous master, it won't be long before he surpasses you!"

Jin Dayong also shouted.

After the shouts, both were dazed, then one after another sat down sighing.

They looked at Ye Liuyun, not knowing what to say.

"Enough, you should later go to the Central Region's Alchemist Hall to formally take a master!"

Ma Tiantong said first.

"Yes! Teaching you is a bit forced! You need to find a stronger master!"

Jin Dayong added.

"These two seem a bit off!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

Yet he felt relieved; he hadn't intended to take a master, and had no time to learn alchemy.

Finally, Ma Tiantong said to Ye Liuyun: "How about this, you become a nominal disciple under me first; then when you later take a master, you'll have a better standing."

"When your realm is sufficient, I'll recommend you to the Alchemist Hall of the Central Area."

"During that period, each month you'll refine alchemical pills with us old guys for three days, and steal a bit of technique from us to improve your alchemy."

"How does that sound?"

Ye Liuyun, upon hearing, found this acceptable.

Moreover, these two people had also taken very good care of him.

He hurriedly thanked the two Hall Masters.

At this moment, the two Hall Masters finally remembered to ask Ye Liuyun's name.

Ye Liuyun also had a face full of black lines.

These two Hall Masters didn't even know their own names, and just now they almost wanted to take him as a disciple.

And at this time, Yao Alchemist also asked them: "How should Ye Liuyun's Alchemist rank be determined?"

"Fifth-rank!"

The two Hall Masters said in unison.

"The medicinal ingredients and principles, I have already tested him on."

"I used the same fifth-grade Lure Capture Pill formula that I used back then."

Vice Hall Master Jin Dayong said.

Ma Tian Tong also said: "His flame and the fifth-grade pill he refined are also qualified for a Fifth-rank Alchemist!"

Thus, Yao Alchemist immediately announced Ye Liuyun successfully obtained Fifth-rank Alchemist qualification, and went to prepare Alchemist Tokens for Ye Liuyun right away.

Lin Xiyao was meanwhile staring wide-eyed.

When the two Hall Masters originally wanted to take Ye Liuyun as a disciple, she was already shocked enough.

But she didn't expect that, in the end, the two Hall Masters actually thought they were not worthy to be Ye Liuyun's master.

Moreover Ye Liuyun not only learns quickly, but can also improve on his own; regarding medicinal ingredients and pill theory knowledge, he is obviously far richer than her.

In comparison, she feels she is far inferior to Ye Liuyun.

Soon, Yao Alchemist returned holding two Tokens, letting Ye Liuyun input Divine Sense into both Tokens, one to stay in the Alchemist Alliance as record, one for Ye Liuyun to wear personally.

Ye Liuyun also did not hang it on his body, but directly put it away.

"In the future, relying on this Token, you can freely enter and exit the Alchemist Grand Hall.

Your name and Alchemist rank will also be immediately engraved on the Alchemist name wall outside the hall!"

Yao Alchemist told Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior!"

Ye Liuyun politely thanked Yao Alchemist!

Although he is now of the same rank as Yao Alchemist, and is also a nominal disciple of the Hall Masters, he still shows no arrogance.

"Haha, having a few more Alchemists like you, even if I work harder it's fine!"

Yao Alchemist is obviously also very happy.

"Congratulations! Fifth-rank Alchemist!"

Lin Xiyao also came forward to congratulate Ye Liuyun.
