Su Yun's face lit up at the words, and he immediately switched places with Luo Qianchen.
Su Yun stood in front of the Stone Platform, adjusted his state slightly, picked up the Single Formula, and immediately began the Alchemy process.
Luo Qianchen, watching Su Yun's still proficient Alchemy skills, couldn't help but marvel that the old guard truly had its day.
A Rank 4 Elixir wasn't easy to refine, especially given his Martial Master cultivation, which didn't allow for much wasted Martial Qi.
He had to be careful with every bit of Martial Qi.
Finally, under Luo Qianchen's rapt attention, Su Yun succeeded once again, refining a Rank 4 Elixir.
Su Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead; his current cultivation was still a bit of a stretch, relying entirely on his proficient skills.
"Here you go."
Su Yun handed the pill to Luo Qianchen and then reached into his pocket, actually taking out a Qi Recovery Pill from the system space and putting it in his mouth.
Luo Qianchen carefully took the pill and examined it closely.
"Yes, this is indeed the Rank 4 Elixir, Essence Condensing Pill!"
Although Luo Qianchen was only a Rank 3 Alchemist, he was old and wise, having interacted with many Rank 4 Alchemists.
While he couldn't refine it himself, he could certainly identify a Rank 4 Elixir.
"The Essence Condensing Pill, a Rank 4 Elixir, can make a Spirit Fighter's Martial Qi more condensed, alleviating the dispersion of Martial Qi."
Luo Qianchen put the Essence Condensing Pill away and couldn't help but ask Su Yun.
"I have a question, I wonder if you can enlighten me?"
Luo Qianchen's tone was slightly respectful; in the path of Alchemy, those who achieve more are respected first. It was natural for a Rank 3 Alchemist to be respectful to a Rank 4 Alchemist.
"Luo, you're too polite. If you don't mind, just call me by my name. What's your question?"
Su Yun couldn't help but chuckle.
He had developed a good impression of Luo Qianchen for letting him take a shortcut and not following the usual procedures.
"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Han Little Friend."
Seeing Su Yun was easy to talk to, Luo Qianchen didn't hesitate, smiling and saying.
"With your Alchemy skills, why did you only come to take the Alchemist examination now?"
Su Yun understood; to jump from an unranked Alchemist to a Rank 4 Alchemist in one go, it was hard to find anyone else besides someone like him.
He had long prepared his explanation for this.
"Regarding this, I don't mind if you laugh. Although I have some talent in Alchemy, my cultivation talent is truly lacking.
Recently, I broke through to Martial Master.
Only then did I have enough Martial Qi to support the refinement of pills above Rank 2.
After that, I went into seclusion to refine pills for a long time without contact with the outside world, which is why I'm taking the examination now."
A hint of bitterness flashed across Su Yun's face as he revealed his aura, clearly showing his one-star Martial Master cultivation.
Luo Qianchen was enlightened. It made sense.
Luo Qianchen immediately felt more balanced. Such cultivation talent was indeed poor.
"I see, I didn't mean to bring up your weakness."
"It's fine."
Su Yun's expression was calm, as if he was already used to it.
He was quite composed. Luo Qianchen's evaluation of Su Yun rose even higher.
The two left the examination area and came to the hall.
Luo Qianchen beckoned a subordinate, whispering a few words.
Whatever Luo Qianchen said, the man was startled, looking up subconsciously at Su Yun.
Su Yun glanced at him but said nothing.
A Rank 4 Alchemist was a significant figure in Wu Tan City.
The subordinate, caught by Su Yun's gaze, was flustered and hurriedly left the hall.
Su Yun and Luo Qianchen didn't bother with him; they were either used to such reactions or had anticipated them.
The two waited in the hall for a while, and the subordinate returned, carefully holding a jade tray in both hands.
On the jade tray was the special robe for a Rank 4 Alchemist.
"Shall you put it on now?"
"No, thank you."
Su Yun smiled and refused, examining the robe with satisfaction. With this, many things would be easier to manage.
Suddenly, Su Yun's face stiffened, showing a look of difficulty.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Qianchen, who had been paying attention to Su Yun, immediately noticed.
"Ahem, I wonder if you could lend me a Storage Ring. I'll return the gold coins to you after a while."
Luo Qianchen was somewhat amused and exasperated. A Rank 4 Alchemist without a Storage Ring?
Su Yun was a bit embarrassed, but that was the truth.
He was used to the system space and hadn't paid attention to Storage Rings. But now, in front of everyone, he couldn't exactly put the robe into the system space.
Luo Qianchen had his own suspicions. This Han Li had just broken through to Martial Master recently, and before that, he was only a Fighter, unable to refine pills above Rank 2.
While refining Rank 1 pills in mass production could bring a decent income to an Alchemist, given Han Li's cultivation talent, it was likely that he had spent all his income on cultivation resources, leaving him no spare money for a Storage Ring.
This was actually a good opportunity to build a relationship.
It was truly beneficial to befriend smart people. Without any explanation, he had already filled in the blanks.
"I happen to have one. Here, take it. Don't worry about the gold coins; it's not worth much."
Su Yun took the Storage Ring, put it on his finger, and didn't refuse.
The Storage Ring was only four cubic feet in size, a low-level Storage Ring, worth about 100,000 gold coins.
While this amount was considerable for ordinary people, it was nothing for a Rank 3 Alchemist.
"By the way, could you give me the robes for Rank 1, Rank 2, and Rank 3 Alchemists as well?"
"Hmm?"
Luo Qianchen was surprised, "Why?"
"For collection."
Su Yun said lightly.
Of course, it wasn't just for collection. A 30-year-old Rank 4 Alchemist was normal, but a 10-year-old Rank 4 Alchemist was not.
Let's be straightforward; he needed to create an alias.
Luo Qianchen didn't suspect anything, thinking it was just Su Yun's peculiar hobby.
Alchemists were mostly reclusive and eccentric, with a few quirks, which was not worth mentioning.
After the three Alchemist robes were brought over, Su Yun and Luo Qianchen exchanged a few pleasantries and left the Alchemist Union.
After another hour, they returned home.
Seeing that Little Medical Fairy was waiting quietly at home, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been out for too long; it was a relief that nothing had happened.
"Brother, you're back."
Little Medical Fairy looked delighted when she saw Su Yun return. It was great that her brother was back.
"Xian'er, give me the medicine bag."
Little Medical Fairy took out the medicine bag from her skirt pocket and obediently handed it to Su Yun.
Seeing that the medicine bag was intact, Su Yun's mind was finally at ease.
The medicine bag contained poison, which he had given to Little Medical Fairy as a precaution. Its toxicity could incapacitate a high-level Martial Master.
If Little Medical Fairy were to ingest it by mistake, the consequences would be severe.
The Catastrophic Poison effect would kick in, and with his growth rate, he might not be able to keep up.
Moreover, the appearance of the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva was very late, and he had no idea where it was now.
