This action immediately caused everyone to be taken aback. Just what kind of person was Great Master Gu, he was one of the two Grade Four Alchemist s in the entire Qingyang City, and had a lofty status.

Even the clans of the four great clans would have to be respectful to the former. However, such a character actually lost his composure in front of an unknown youth. How could they not be shocked?

The girl also felt that it was extremely embarrassing, and pulled at the corner of her grandfather's clothes, wanting to remind the latter of her actions, but she didn't expect Master Gu to not even look at him, and only look at Jiang Yun.

Seeing Master Gu's attitude, Jiang Yun immediately knew that his bet was right and heaved a sigh of relief.

The Gu Tianhe that Jiang Yun spoke of could be said to be known by very few people in the entire Heavenly Martial Empire, but Master Gu was actually one of the few people who knew about it.

He and Gu Tianhe had come to the Gu family together to learn the art of alchemy. In the end, the two of them had become like heaven and earth.

One was the vice president of the Alchemy Guild in a small city like Qingyang City, while the other one was a alchemist grandmaster who walked out of the Heavenly Martial Empire and entered the vast earth.

At that time, Gu Tianhe was already a sixth stage alchemist and there was only one person in the entire empire who was bestowed the title of State Grandmaster. It could be said that he was below one person and above tens of thousands others.

However, Gu Tianhe's departure had not been heard of for many years, and now that it was mentioned by this youth, how could he not be excited?

But even though he was excited, Jiang Yun was shaken to the point that he wanted to vomit. He hurriedly stopped Master Gu's actions and said: "I know Master Gu Tianhe, he was the one who gave me pointers during one of his roaming and told me to come to the Alchemist Guild to take the examination."

Jiang Yun was right, in his previous life he was only acquainted with Gu Tianhe after the Jiang Clan was separated and destroyed. If not for Gu Tianhe, he would have died a long time ago.

However, the current him had yet to meet Gu Tianhe, and the latter basically did not recognize him, so Jiang Yun could only use the tiger skin as a flag.

Jiang Yun did not expect Master Gu to drag him into the Apothecary Guild as soon as he finished speaking, leaving behind a group of dumbstruck people.

"This kid is someone that Grandmaster Astral River has set his eyes on. His talent must be extraordinary. If I want to win him over, I might be able to gain Grandmaster Astral River's favor in the future." Master Gu had a plan in mind.

He led Jiang Yun to the examination point, and looked at the examinee team, and couldn't help but frown as he walked with large strides to the front of the first person, and pulled that person out, and forcefully pushed Jiang Yun in.

The one who was pulled out first was stunned for a moment, then immediately became angry, because the next person was going to take his test, but he was pulled out and became the last person.

"Which bastard is it? I'm going to kill him." That person was enraged, and the imposing manner of someone with the Primary Origin Stage of the ninth heaven appeared. Just as he was about to attack, he saw Master Gu's unfriendly face.

"Master Gu, Master Gu." That person immediately became listless. He was only a disciple who had not even reached the rank of alchemist. How would he dare to offend this mighty Grade Four Alchemist?

"Scram!"

Master Gu showed his might without getting angry, so that person had no choice but to flee.

Jiang Yun could not help but shrug his shoulders, he did not feel embarrassed at all. As a Zhi Zun, he had done something that was thousands of times more tyrannical than this.

At this moment, the door to the examination room opened. The people who passed were about to cheer in high spirits when they saw Great Master Gu and could only leave dejectedly.

"Go in." Master Gu indicated to Jiang Yun, who walked into the examination room. There was a Pill Cauldron, it was made of iron, and not far from the Pill Cauldron, there was a middle-aged man.

"Name."

"Jiang Yun."

"Gender."

"Are you blind?"

"?"

The middle-aged man was left with nothing to say, and could only change the topic. "The examination topic this time is the Xiao Jin Dan, and three of them are required to be refined within six hours. The quality must be at least low-rank." He wanted to continue, but saw that Jiang Yun's face was filled with impatience, and said, "Start the timer."

Jiang Yun was already impatient, his hands were already itching to start. When he heard that it was possible to start, he immediately began to move, but this action caused the middle-aged man to be stunned, only to see Jiang Yun throwing the medicinal ingredients into the Pill Cauldron, his face involuntarily twitching.

"Are they really here for the examination and not to cause trouble?" The middle-aged man said.

It had to be known that even a high ranked pill refiner had to place the ingredients in order, otherwise there was a possibility of the cauldron exploding. Jiang Yun's method was obviously something that a person who did not know how to refine pills would do.

"Sigh, young people these days don't study seriously and only know how to put on an act." The middle-aged man sighed in his heart. He firmly believed that Jiang Yun was here to forcefully take the examination for face. After all, there were many people like this.

He had already prepared to prevent the cauldron from exploding, but he quickly revealed a trace of confusion. It was because Jiang Yun had thrown all the medicinal ingredients into the Pill Cauldron, but only the Silver Gold Grass did not.

Although the Silver Gold Grass was not the most important ingredient, it was still one of the side ingredients. Therefore, Jiang Yun's actions did not make him understand, but what caused him to be even more shocked was the next scene.

A flame ignited on the palm of Jiang Yun's hand. It looked ice-cold but was actually extremely hot.

"Spiritual Fire!" The middle-aged man was astonished. One must know that there were three conditions for one to become an alchemist. The first was martial arts cultivation, the second was soul power, and the third was fire.

Normally, alchemists would use ordinary fire to concoct pills. This kind of pill was of the worst quality, so some people would kill fire-attribute demon beasts, seize their Animal Fire, and refine them to concoct pills. This was the most popular method used by pill refiners, and the third method was used by Spiritual Fire. It was the rarest method in the world and it was created by the world, so the quality of the pills refined by Spiritual Fire was the best.

But even in the entire Heavenly Martial Empire, there were very few people who possessed Spiritual Fire, and in the end, all of them became fifth or sixth rank alchemists. Furthermore, it required a powerful cultivation to refine the Spiritual Fire. If a Primary Origin Stage cultivator forcibly refined the Spiritual Fire, there were only two results. One, it would self-detonate, and the other, it would be perfectly fine to refine it with the help of an expert.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be moved. One must know that the person capable of reaching this stage was at least a Spirit Gathering Stage expert, and one of the peak figures within the Spirit Gathering Stage. It was even possible that he was a Spirit Origin Stage expert.

Looking at the entirety of Qingyang City, how rare were the Psychic Stage experts? There was not even a single one of them, not to mention the Spirit Origin Stage expert. From this, one could imagine just how powerful this youth's background was.

However, if he knew that Jiang Yun did not have any backers, and was even Qing Yang City's renowned trash, he would be so shocked that he would not even be able to speak.

Jiang Yun didn't know what the middle-aged man was thinking, but if he knew, he would definitely snort disdainfully. Who could help him refine such a Spiritual Fire?

Because this was the Absolute Beginning First Flame, the Absolute Beginning Flame!
