As soon as he arrived at the alchemist guild, Long Chen tried to go to Yun Qi’s refining room. But he was stopped as soon as he entered the inner division.

The alchemist guild was divided into inner and outer divisions; the outer division was open to the empire. The examinations to become an alchemist were all held in the outer division.

However, the inner division was the true alchemist guild. Last time, Long Chen had only managed to enter the inner division for his test because grandmaster Yun Qi had been leading the way, so naturally, he hadn’t been blocked back then.

“Unqualified people cannot enter the inner division.”

The guard in front of the door was a youngster not much older than Long Chen. He was wearing medicinal apprentice robes, and his expression was arrogant as he looked down on Long Chen.

Long Chen faintly smiled and flashed his tablet to him. He then walked right in under his shocked expression.

Seeing his arrogant expression change so quickly to shock, Long Chen couldn’t avoid being somewhat pleased.

It seemed that the old him had been suppressed for just too long. Now that he could finally raise his head, he had started to become undisciplined and selfish. But he knew inside that he didn’t have time to waste on such petty things.

When he entered the inner division, Long Chen slapped his forehead; he had forgotten to ask whether grandmaster Yun Qi was even present. If he wasn’t even here, wouldn’t this entire visit have just been a waste?

Just as he was regretting it, a young lady walked past him. Without even thinking about it, he stopped her and asked, “Excuse me, do you know where grandmaster Yun Qi is?”

That young lady had been walking with her head down, and she appeared slightly irritated to be stopped out of nowhere. Raising her head, she saw a thin and weak youngster looking at her. She coldly said, “Why are you looking for grandmaster Yun Qi?”

Long Chen became slightly distracted. This woman was extremely pretty; she might not be comparable to Chu Yao and Meng Qi, but she was definitely a rare beauty that could only be found one every thousand miles.

But although she was pretty, her gaze caused people to feel a bit unwell. Her gaze contained an unconcealed arrogance that made it difficult for people to feel well about her.

“I just want to know where grandmaster Yun Qi is. Can this young miss tell me?” Long Chen might be a bit displeased inside, but he still continued asking very politely.

“Just who are you? Why are you looking to see grandmaster Yun Qi?” she guardedly asked.

Being questioned twice instead of being answered, Long Chen shook his head and no longer bothered with her. He went deeper in to look for someone else to ask.

“Hey, I’m asking you a question. Why are you so rude?” She became angry when he didn’t reply despite her asking twice.

Long Chen only just took a couple of steps before turning to look at her. “You’re here for medicine right?”

“What?” she asked distractedly. 

“You must have a mental illness, so don’t run around all over the place.”

Long Chen’s cold reply had just rung out, and he was just turning to leave, when unexpectedly, a strong gale appeared behind him. Her palm charged toward his heart along with an angry shout.
