Chapter 5 Alchemist Guild

Although Xiao Zhen was in high spirits, he had not forgotten the main purpose of this trip, which was to choose appropriate skills and fighting techniques.

Under the introduction of Elder Xiaoshan, he directly chose a mid-level Xuan-grade fire-based martial arts technique, a mid-level Xuan-grade fire-based fighting technique, and a high-level Xuan-grade thunder-based fighting technique.

As the son of the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhen still has many privileges. It's because his father is so overbearing that he can just get the green light to pass through some so-called checkpoints.

This made Xiao Zhen somewhat uninterested. When he came here before, because of his low cultivation level and his father personally leading the team, he was only given a few low-level yellow-grade fighting skills.

Xiao Zhen originally thought that he would have to break some protective shield like the Xiao family members in the original novel before he could obtain the skills and fighting techniques inside.

This is because Xiao Zhen’s talent is good enough. If he was a guy with mediocre cultivation, I am afraid that such treatment would cause criticism from his clansmen.

When choosing fighting skills, Xiao Zhen also chose a thunder-related fighting record because he had thunder-related attributes. Even if he practiced fire-related skills, he could not waste his thunder-related talent.

Even if you can't fully unleash the power of this thunder-attributed fighting skill, it's never a bad thing to practice one more fighting skill.

Moreover, it is somewhat sad that this volume of advanced Xuan-level thunder-attributed fighting skills is one of the two highest-level fighting skills in the Xiao family.

"Oh!" Xiao Zhen sighed in his heart, thinking about how powerful the Xiao clan was back then, and how many heavenly-level martial arts and fighting skills they had.

It's not like the current situation, where the Xiao family's patriarch and elders, as well as himself, the Xiao family's most talented disciple, can only practice these mysterious-level techniques and fighting skills.

Now think about it, if I remember correctly, most of the Xiao clan's skills and fighting techniques should be in the Gu clan, and it seems that their ancestor Xiao Xuan entrusted them to keep them, but now there is not even a trace of those skills and fighting techniques.

The Soul Clan suffered the most. They worked hard and suffered heavy losses before defeating the Xiao Clan, their biggest enemy. In the end, most of the benefits went to the Ancient Clan.

Actually, the current situation is still acceptable. After all, it can’t be that bad, it can only get worse.

Like in the original future, after ten or twenty years, his elder brother Xiao Zhan, who was the clan leader, was only practicing intermediate Xuan-level fighting skills.

After selecting the appropriate martial arts, Elder Xiao Shan also gave him some pointers on the spot, telling him some key points and precautions. After all, he had been guarding these martial arts and fighting skills for many years and was very familiar with them.

After a period of training, Xiao Zhen bid farewell to Elder Xiao Shan and went to find his father. The sooner the better to become his disciple.

When Xiao Zhen found Xiao Lin, he told him about his desire to become an alchemist.

Xiao Lin had no objection. Becoming an alchemist was a great achievement. Among the thousands of members in his Xiao family, only a few with mediocre talents could barely become first or second rank alchemists.

Although the family had invited a third-grade alchemist as guest, an old fellow named Wang, this old fellow was very arrogant. If it weren't for the fact that alchemists with higher grades were more difficult to invite, he would have wanted to drive this guy away long ago.

Now, Xiao Lin wants to find an excellent alchemist to be a teacher for his precious son.

The first thing to do is to rule out the old man Wang who was invited by the family. Although this old man is considered to be a top-notch alchemist among the third-grade alchemists, Xiao Lin still wants to find a more advanced alchemist for his son, at least a fourth-grade one.

Xiao Lin was confident about this. As a Dou Wang warrior, he often dealt with the Alchemist Guild and got to know many alchemists there.

Xiao Lin believed that as long as he was willing to put aside his pride and offer some benefits, he would not be unable to find a good teacher for his son.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhen, who had been planning to sleep in, was pulled out of bed by his hardworking father, Xiao Lin.

Xiao Zhen looked at the sky outside. Even the sun hadn't come out yet, so he said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad, the sun hasn't even come out yet, what are you doing so early?"

When Xiao Lin heard this, he was furious. It turned out that I, your father, had been busy running errands for you since early morning, and you still wanted to sleep in. What a joke.

Xiao Lin simply grabbed Xiao Zhen's ears and dragged him outside, saying as he walked:

"I'm going to use all my strength to get you a good master this time. If you don't study hard, I'll beat your butt into a pulp."

Xiao Lin now looks very much like those parents on Earth who send their children to school.

Xiao Zhen looked at Xiao Lin's stern expression. As an orphan in his previous life, he suddenly felt a little warm. This was a feeling he had never had before.

Just like that, Xiao Lin took Xiao Zhen onto a specially prepared carriage. The skilled driver whipped the horse whip, and these horse-like monsters with sharp teeth headed towards the direction of the alchemy guild at the fastest speed.

Because the Xiao family was not far away from the Alchemist Guild, and this horse-shaped monster was also very fast, it took two incense sticks of time to reach the door of the Alchemist Guild.

Standing outside the gate, Xiao Zhen looked up at the majestic Alchemist Guild headquarters and couldn't help but shook his head in admiration. This kind of momentum was worthy of the position of the leader of the Gama Empire's alchemists.

This was Xiao Zhen's first time here. In the past, he had often heard people in his family discuss how grand this place was, but seeing it in person was better than hearing about it. Only after seeing it with one's own eyes could one understand how prosperous this place was.

Xiao Lin patted Xiao Zhen on the back and whispered, "How is it? This place is big enough, right? Come on, I'll take you inside to have a look. It's even more amazing inside."

"Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Zhen nodded hurriedly. He was also a little impatient to go in and take a look. He wondered what the scene was like inside.

Xiao Zhen followed Xiao Lin into the alchemist's door, and a strong aroma of elixir hit them in the face, making people involuntarily take a deep breath and look around with a refreshed mood.

The area within the Alchemist Guild is extremely vast, and is roughly divided into three areas: southeast, southeast, and west. In the east hall, there are many square tables made of green granite neatly built. Behind those tables, some people are sitting. There is an alchemist in a robe, and on the table, there are many various medicinal materials, as well as jade bottles, scrolls, etc., looking at it, it seems to be an area for trading and Taobao.

In the south hall, there are many cauldrons burning blazingly. Some alchemists are behind the cauldrons, controlling the fire with serious faces. Around them, there are low-level alchemists surrounding them, pointing at each other and whispering. Exchange experiences in alchemy.

Compared with the other two halls, the west hall is undoubtedly much quieter. There are even guards standing in the aisles. It seems that only some alchemists who have reached a certain level are qualified to enter. Some low-level alchemists who occasionally pass by there will cast glances of awe and envy.

Standing at the door, Xiao Zhen looked at the extremely bustling hall and couldn't help but be dazed. After a while, he gradually came back to his senses.

In terms of prosperity, this place is not inferior to other prosperous places on Earth. The only difference is that those who can come here are not ordinary people.

Xiao Lin patted Xiao Zhen's little head and whispered, "Have you seen enough? It's time to come back to your senses."

Xiao Zhen scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking that he had been distracted just now.

Xiao Lin held Xiao Zhen's hand and said as they walked, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet your future teacher. Wait, you have to be respectful to me."
