“Good, very good. You’re saying we don’t understand the rules of the Alchemist Guild, right? Fine, then I’d like to see how capable you really are.”
“Someone without even an Alchemist rank dares to spout such nonsense here.”
“If you can’t explain yourself today, we will never let you leave.”
After speaking, several people circled around, surrounding Qin Xuan, clearly intending to pressure him.
Looking at the people closing in, Qin Xuan sneered, crossing his arms over his chest, completely disregarding them.
“What, you’re feeling guilty because I hit a nerve and now you want to resort to violence?”
“If your Alchemist Guild is all like this, then I’ll have to seriously consider whether I want to take the Alchemist rank assessment.”
After speaking, Qin Xuan also stared at them coldly. If these people really dared to make a move, he wouldn't mind giving them a harsh lesson.
“He’s really arrogant. Brothers, let’s go, beat him up.”
These few Alchemist Guild members finally couldn’t hold back and were about to rush out and attack Qin Xuan.
“Please wait, gentlemen.”
Just then, Jiang Cheng walked over from the side. He glanced at Qin Xuan, a cold smile playing on his lips.
“We Alchemists value convincing people with reason. If we just beat him up like this, it would affect the reputation of the Alchemist Guild if word gets out.”
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng walked up to Qin Xuan, looking at him coldly.
“Didn’t you say you came here to take the Alchemist assessment? Then let me ask, what rank of Alchemist assessment do you intend to take?”
“It can’t be the 1-Rank Alchemist assessment, can it?”
With that, Jiang Cheng burst into laughter, and the few people beside him echoed his laughter, also staring intently at Qin Xuan.
“What rank? Of course I’m here to take the Fifth-Rank Alchemist assessment. It doesn’t need to be too high, just stronger than you will do.”
Qin Xuan retorted coldly.
Hearing Qin Xuan dismiss him so casually, Jiang Cheng’s expression finally darkened completely.
He stared intently at Qin Xuan, his fists already clenched.
“You want to take the Fifth-Rank Alchemist assessment? Are you crazy? An Alchemist without even a rank is simply not qualified to take the Fifth-Rank Alchemist assessment.”
These few people said, then sneered as they sized up Qin Xuan.
“Someone without a rank like you can only take the 1-Rank assessment. Only by passing the 1-Rank Alchemist assessment are you then qualified to take the 2-Rank Alchemist assessment.”
“And so on. A 4-Rank Alchemist is qualified to take the Fifth-Rank Alchemist assessment.”
“Now you say you want to take the Fifth-Rank Alchemist assessment? Do you even deserve it? Do you have the ability?”
The few people said dismissively, wanting to come forward and push Qin Xuan away.
“So that’s how it is.”
Qin Xuan nodded, but soon he smiled and looked at the others.
“That doesn’t mean I can’t take the platform assessment. At worst, I’ll take each rank’s assessment.”
As soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, the several people immediately froze, looking at Qin Xuan as if he were an idiot.
“You, an Alchemist without even a rank, do you really think you can pass these assessments?”
“The Alchemist rank assessment isn’t something you can pass just by participating. You must refine the corresponding rank of Medicinal Pill. Where did this greenhorn come from? He doesn’t even know this, now get out!”
Qin Xuan pushed aside the person blocking him and walked inside.
“Whether I can pass or not, we’ll see after I take the assessment. I haven’t even taken it yet, why are you barking?”
“Are you so eager to curry favor that you’ve lost all shame?”
As Qin Xuan spoke, he strode into the Alchemist Guild.
At this point, Jiang Cheng also stopped.
He, who was about to leave, was now extremely angry. Looking at Qin Xuan’s back, he sneered and followed him in.
“Good, I also want to see what rank he can achieve with all this posturing.”
The other few people, seeing this, could only follow him in. Once inside, Qin Xuan turned to look at a person behind him.
“Tell me, where is your 1-Rank Alchemist assessment? I’ll go there now.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, a member of the Alchemist Guild sneered.
“Heh, no need to rush. I’ll arrange it for you right away. Then we’ll see if you have the ability.”
After mocking, this person immediately went to contact others to prepare a place for Qin Xuan’s assessment.
Jiang Cheng, on the side, watched Qin Xuan like he was watching a show, a half-smile on his face.
Sure enough, not long after, that Alchemist Guild Disciple had already arranged a place for Qin Xuan’s assessment.
“We Alchemists are not like others who can play games; for us, the rank assessment means refining the corresponding Medicinal Pill.”
“You are currently an Alchemist without a rank, so the Alchemist assessment you can currently take can only be the 1-Rank Alchemist assessment.”
“Only after you pass the 1-Rank Alchemist assessment and refine a 1-Rank Medicinal Pill can you continue to take the 2-Rank, 3-Rank, and even 4-Rank and Fifth-Rank assessments.”
At this point, this Disciple clearly didn’t believe Qin Xuan could take the Fifth-Rank Alchemist assessment.
However, since Qin Xuan had already boasted, he would deliberately say this in front of everyone, so that if Qin Xuan failed, he could use it against him.
“No need for so much nonsense, let’s go take the assessment now.”
As Qin Xuan spoke, he gestured for the person to lead the way.
Seeing Qin Xuan’s arrogance, not only Jiang Cheng and his group, but also the other people around, after understanding the situation, gathered around to watch the spectacle.
“Heh, interesting. Someone without a rank actually dares to lecture a 4-Rank Alchemist.”
“And that’s not all, he even dares to boast that he wants to take the Five-Rank Alchemist assessment and suppress a 4-Pinnacle Alchemist. In this day and age, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to call himself an Alchemist Great Master.”
The rumors among the crowd grew more and more exaggerated, eventually turning into Qin Xuan vowing to challenge Jiang Cheng and trample him underfoot.
As a result, many people who wanted to watch the show stopped their own assessments and rushed over, wanting to see what the outcome of Qin Xuan’s situation would be.
“What good outcome could there be, I ask? There aren’t one or two people who spout such arrogant words, and what happens in the end? The useless trash always talk big, one by one, looking down on everyone else.”
“Facts have proven that none of these people ultimately have any real ability. I think he’s the same. Let’s go over and see which idiot it is.”
Thus, word spread quickly, and soon the Pill Refining Room where Qin Xuan was about to take the Alchemist assessment was packed with people.
Everyone wanted to see which brainless person dared to challenge a 4-Rank Alchemist without even having a rank.
“Hmph, quite a lot of people. I didn’t expect you to be so well-prepared.”
Qin Xuan understood that these people were deliberately trying to make him look foolish, to please Jiang Cheng.
That’s why they intentionally called such a large crowd over, all to make him lose face in front of more people.
However, their plan was doomed to fail; Qin Xuan was not afraid of any of this.
With a cold laugh, Qin Xuan walked to the front and pointed at the Pill Refining Room before him.
“Since the Pill Refining Room is ready, you can prepare the assessment questions.”
