After the dragon race received this news, they paid extra attention to it. They issued a blood order on the continent, calling upon all cultivators under the heavens to fight against the blood demons. This news set off a huge wave on the peaceful continent. Countless people were shocked by this news, and many hermits with powerful martial arts even personally came out for this matter.

In the mountains above the South Sea. The three old men sat in the secret room and discussed.

"Big brother, the news has been leaked. What do we do now?" The old man on the right said.

"What else can we do, take them all back!" I really don't know how that brat did it, he leaked the news the moment he left, and he didn't come back. " The old man in the middle turned purple.

"Right now, we can only take them back and wait for the wind to blow before we move in secret!" The old man on the left interrupted.

"Now we can only do this. Our powers are too weak here. If we are discovered, the five thousand years of peace and quiet will all disappear." The old man in the middle sighed.

After several days of trekking, Ouyang Yu finally arrived at the Alessan Empire. However, the difference from the last time was that this time, he was not in a hurry and the mission was not that difficult. After finding a random inn to rest for the night, on the second day, the first rays of sunlight had just illuminated the land when Ouyang Yu had already left the inn. When he came out, he even asked about the Alchemist Guild's location.

Walking on the street in the early morning, Ouyang Yu recalled the astonished and flattering expressions the boss had when he was asking about the location of the Alchemist Association, and he secretly felt a little amused and sighed. It seems that the noble status of an alchemist had already penetrated deep into the hearts of the people of the Xuan Zhen Continent, if not, these people would not have displayed such reverence when the Alchemist Association was mentioned.

Medicine City was located at the border between the Holy Empire and the Alps Empire, but because of the Alchemists Guild's presence, it was bustling with prosperity. Although it was early in the morning, the main street was still bustling with activity. The crowd was in an uproar, and occasionally there were guards orderly walking past. The sound of armor colliding with each other clearly sounded in the sky in the early morning like a morning bell.

Ouyang Yu followed the route he had learned from the owner of the inn and slowly made his way through several slender streets. After a good while, he slowly stopped and raised his head to look at the majestic building before him.

This large hall's design was quite unique. Its overall appearance was similar to that of a quadrangle courtyard, and around the house, there were also windows that were like medicinal cauldrons. On the tall roof, a huge transparent lid crawled down, covering the entire large hall. His gaze landed on the light purple sandalwood signboard outside the building. There were a few blurry, ancient words that were faintly discernible, and they were flashing with a faint light.

"The Alchemist Association's headquarters!" He noticed that everyone who passed by this unique building would look at the signboard with a touch of reverence. Of course, there were also some passersby who would look at Ouyang Yu, who had been standing foolishly outside of the Alchemist Association, with some astonishment and disdain.

Ignoring the surrounding gazes, Ouyang Yu gently touched the hair on his forehead with his palm, and squeezed through the crowd next to the Alchemist Association. There was a large red paper taped to it.

"The eleventh alchemist youth will be held at XXX." Ouyang Yu softly whispered.

"XXX, don't we still have 20 days of time?" He thought for a while and continued to read. All alchemists at the third rank and above who are 15 to 25 years of age or older can register using their rank certificate. All alchemists at the top three ranks can receive not only mysterious gifts, but also the personal guidance of one of the greatest figures in the association ? When Ouyang Yu saw this, his heart stirred. "It seems this is a very good opportunity. I must seize it."

Even though Ouyang Yu was able to refine a Grade 3 pill, he had never tested for his rank certificate. Thinking that he would be fine for the past few days, he strode towards the Alchemy Association.

He approached the door. The two heavily armed men extended their hands and blocked him. With a somewhat arrogant voice, they shouted, "This is the Alchemist Association. Do you have a token if you want to enter?"

"Eh? Token? " Hearing this, Ouyang Yu was stunned. He asked in a soft voice, "Token, what token?"

"Kid, you are not allowed to enter without our Alchemist Guild's command medallion. Let's go!" "Let's go!" As he spoke, he impatiently waved his hand towards Ouyang Yu.

"I'm here to take the examination. Can you let me in?" Ouyang Yu chuckled.

"Exam?" "Kid, only tier four and above alchemists can come here to take the exam. Just with you?" The two burly men looked at Ouyang Yu with disdain.

"My two big brothers, where can I go to test for the Demon Refining Stones that are below Rank 4?" Ouyang Yu wasn't angry. He had seen a lot of these low profile people. He will be fierce to you today, and call you grandpa tomorrow.

"Brat, why are you so annoyed? There's one at the front." Brat, why are you so annoyed.

"Many thanks!" Ouyang Yu was in a good mood today. After cupping his hands, he walked in the direction the two big men were pointing at.

The streets were crowded with people. Even though Ouyang Yu wanted to move faster, he was hindered by the dense crowd of pedestrians. It took him half a day to finish walking down the street that he usually took in less than a minute. Ouyang Yu looked to both sides as he walked, but he didn't see the examination location the two burly men were talking about. He asked the passersby, "Uncle, where can we go to take the alchemist exam for an alchemist certificate below Rank 4?" The old man looked at Ouyang Yu with a strange expression. "Brat, you're not trying to trick me are you?"

"Great sir, how could I dare to lie to you?"

"Ai, I don't know what youngsters do these days, I don't even know this little bit of common sense." Ouyang Yu could only scratch his head with a bitter smile.

"Brat, you have to remember this well. You can take the exam in any branch, but you can only take exams of the third rank and below. However, those of the third rank and above must come to the headquarters to take the exam, and there are no branch in our city!"

"Ai!" Knowing that he had been scammed, Ouyang Yu was slightly infuriated. After thanking the old man, Ouyang Yu quickly walked back.

When Ouyang Yu arrived at the Alchemist Guild, the two men had already anticipated this situation. When they saw Ouyang Yu, they both burst out laughing. "This is too funny, I've never seen anyone more stupid than this kid ?" Speaking of this, they suddenly felt an extremely strong pressure surging towards them. He could not help but kneel down.

"What do you think? Let's see if you still dare to lie to me!" Ouyang Yu looked at them with a faint smile. "Sir, we know we're wrong!" The man before him knew that he had met a sharp stone today and hurriedly begged for mercy. Ouyang Yu just wanted to teach them a lesson. Seeing that they knew he was formidable, he withdrew his aura and said with a smile, "Brothers, is there any alchemist grade exam place here?"

"You don't dare, you don't dare. Little brother, you are too polite. We were blind to not recognize Mount Tai just now. We have already offended you in every area, so please forgive us." Their attitudes took a 180-degree turn.

"You're welcome. Just tell me the truth!"

"Yes, yes!" The two men hurriedly got up from the ground.

"Bro, of course we can examine evidence here, but if you don't have a token then you won't be able to enter, I hope sire won't take offense." Ouyang Yu suddenly remembered the root-like object that Long Di had given him and took it out.

"Pill King Token!" The two men looked at the unremarkable object in Ouyang Yu's hand in astonishment.

"Can I go in now?" Ouyang Yu was also very surprised by how useful this object was, but when he thought about the item he took out from Long Wei's hands, he felt relieved.

"Sir, please enter!" A man respectfully invited Ouyang Yu inside while another man quickly ran inside.

"Master, a young man with the Medicine King Token came to us. He said that he wanted to come here to take the examination."

"Oh!" An old man put down the book in his hands and said in shock, "Quick, bring me to him!" As he spoke, he took the lead to walk outside.

Entering the Alchemist Association, a faint medicinal fragrance pounced over, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.

There were only a few people quietly doing their own things within the large hall. As if they had heard the sound of footsteps, some people raised their heads and glanced at the pale-faced young man. Doubt flashed across their eyes before they once again buried themselves in their own things.

"Could it be that this kid is here to take the test as well?"

"I think it's possible. I wonder how that kid is compared to that kid who just entered?"

"How did he do it today? There were so many of them in the first place, and now it's so easy to become a tier four alchemist. It seems that he's even younger than the previous alchemist ?"

The two of them were discussing in the distance. Ouyang Yu was shocked when he heard this. "It seems like it's not so easy to win the championship!"

Alchemists were an extremely popular profession in the Xuan Zhen Continent. Not only were they rich, they were also respected. This industry had a bright future, and there would be many people who would practice it. However, there were only a few who could actually cultivate it. The reason was simple: not only did refining drugs require outstanding talent and hard work, but more importantly, it required a corresponding level of strength. Alchemy was built on the foundation of strength. Without sufficient strength, no matter how much talent one had in Alchemy, it would be useless.

Standing in the somewhat deserted hall, Ouyang Yu helplessly shook his head. Just as he was about to ask the man beside him about the competition, a benevolent looking old man walked over quickly.
