At the entrance of the Alchemist Guild in the Imperial Capital, the two guards who stopped Liu Xi and the others were a little stunned as they listened to Liu Xi and the others' conversation. What about the alchemists, the Canaan Academy, and their fame? throughout the Northwest Continent
Liu Xi listened to Hai Hai. Look at the compliments from Bo Dong and Lu Man. Looking at the two stunned guards in front of him and the many first- and second-class alchemists slowly gathering around and pointing at him, he thought to himself: "I don't know if Master is inside right now. I was blocked back then… This is ridiculous!"
Liu Xi immediately stepped forward and said to the guard: "Please go inside and inform Master Xuanhao that Liu Xi's unfilial disciple must return to visit Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp intake of breath was heard from all around, and even the guards in front of him looked a little frightened.
When Liu Xi saw this scene, he felt a little strange, even though the guard in front of him said with disdain, "Who do you think you are? Is Master Xuanhao also someone you can see?"
Lu Xi thought that everything was fine, but what was going on with the panic on his face?
Lu Xi looked at the frightened guard and asked directly, "Tell me, what did I just say that scared you so much?"
"It turns out that you are the legendary Master Liu Xi. Just now, all the young people here are blind and ignorant. We will receive you now!" the guard said with trepidation.
Haibodong smiled and said, "It seems that your reputation, little friend, has spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire!"
Green Man also said, "I am ignorant, it turns out that sir has such a reputation in the Jia Ma Empire!"
Liu Xi thought in confusion, "I only returned from Canaan College a few months ago. Although I also demonstrated Dou Wang's cultivation in Lingcheng, when did I have such a high reputation among the alchemists in the imperial capital?"
Lu Xi followed the escort leading to the Alchemist Guild. Wherever he passed, everyone else gave way to Liu Xi.
Most of these low-level alchemists looked at Liu Xi with respect, while some were a little suspicious.
"This is the genius disciple that Elder Xuan Hao said. He looks so young! Could he really be as strong as Elder Xuan Hao said?"
"He looks about the same age as me, but Elder Xuanhao said that his disciple was a third-grade alchemist four years ago, and now he's a fifth-grade alchemist, comparable to President Fa Ma!"
"It must be true. Elder Xuanhao is a fourth-grade alchemist. Those he can favor must be geniuses, and they have also gone to the famous Canaan College on the mainland for further training!"
"Let me tell you, President Fa Ma is a fifth-grade alchemist at the top. He can become a sixth-grade alchemist at any time. This Liu Xi may be a genius, but he can only refine fifth-grade elixirs!"
The doubts in Liu Xi's eyes disappeared. He naturally heard all the words said by the low-level alchemists behind him and thought: "In my reply to Master, I mentioned that I had reached a fifth-grade alchemist. That Master is here. Help me promote it!"
Lu Xi asked the guard: "My Master must have said something about me! That's why you are so scared after hearing my name!"
The guard said cautiously, "Yes, a few months ago, Elder Xuanhao gave instructions for his disciple Liu Xi to come back to visit him. When he sees you, sir, you must not stop him. You can take him straight to him!"
Liu Xi heard this and said, "Master is still thoughtful!" The guard was interrupted, but did not dare to get angry and continued: "Elder Xuanhao said a long time ago that he accepted a genius disciple in Lincheng and trained him for five years before he became a third-grade alchemist. But the disciple has his own I finally entered the Canaan Academy and did not come to the Alchemist Guild together. I remember that some people laughed at Elder Xuanhao, thinking that he became a genius disciple!
A gloomy expression appeared on Liu Xi's face, and he said in a cold voice: "How dare someone laugh at a teacher? Tell me who they are!"
Seeing Liu Xi's gloomy expression, the guard became even more cautious and said, "Elder Xuanhao was also very angry at that time, saying that the disciples he accepted were filial, self-disciplined, and very talented. How could this be a fabrication? Later, after painstaking research, he became a fourth-level refiner in one fell swoop. After he became an elder of the Alchemist Guild, no one would dare to laugh at Elder Xuanhao anymore.
"A few months ago, after receiving a letter, Elder Xuanhao suddenly laughed. Then he told everyone he met that his disciple had returned from Canaan Academy and would soon return to visit him, and he had reached the fifth grade. An alchemist will allow everyone to open their eyes and see what a genius is!"
Lu Xi suddenly felt that his nose was hurting. His teacher was thinking about him, and he thought to himself: "Now that I have returned, I will stay for a while longer. Then I will give teacher the go-ahead. Look at his face and see who dares to laugh. Teacher, let's see if I will kill him!"
When I arrived at the Alchemist Guild, a faint smell of elixir hit my face, and the territory of the Alchemist Guild seemed extremely vast.
It is roughly divided into three areas: the southeast and the west. In the east hall, many square platforms made of green granite are neatly built. Behind these stone platforms, there were alchemists in robes. On the stone platform, there were many different medicinal materials, jade bottles, scrolls, etc. Judging from the appearance, it should be a place for trading treasures.
In the southern hall, there were many cauldrons burning, behind the cauldrons stood alchemists who were controlling the fire with serious faces. Around them were low-level alchemists, pointing at each other and whispering.
Compared with the other two halls, the western hall is undoubtedly much quieter and is located in a corridor. There are even guards with cold faces. It seems that only some alchemists who have reached a certain level are qualified to enter there. Some low-level alchemists pass by from time to time and cast a look of awe and envy.
The guard next to Liu Xi pointed to the western hall and said, "Sir, this is a place where only elders and presidents of the various branches of the Jia Ma Empire or alchemists of the third level or higher can enter."
Then they walked straight over and, as expected, were stopped by the indifferent guards. The guards around Liu Xi took the initiative to negotiate. When they learned that the young man in front of them was Liu Xi, the disciple that Elder Xuanhao coveted. all of the guards were indifferent. He was surprised, but since it was his duty, he still did not dare to let Liu Xi in, so one of them quickly went to report it.
Soon, only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard, and an old voice that was very familiar to Liu Xi rang out.
"Haha, my good disciple has finally returned!"
Lu Xi looked at the old man walking quickly with a happy smile on his face. The corners of his eyes subconsciously moistened. He stepped forward to support the old man's outstretched withered palm and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Master, Liu Xi has returned."
