BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172 Ch 172: Mila
Once again, Alex used the Extreme Ice Palm to completely disintegrate the Fire Demon King into many fragments of fiery light.
.....
Three hours later...
"Finally found it!"
Alex took a deep breath as he looked at a small jade token in his hand. After killing the Fire Demon King, he first harvested the Fiery Raging Lotus and then spent a total of three hours before finally obtaining Volume Three of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique. This jade token actually contains the third volume of Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.
Alex again spent a few hours learning this saber technique. With this, a metamorphosis occurred and the three different volumes of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique became one.
[Name: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.
Rank: Emperor Grade Skill.
Details: A martial arts skill created by the Scarlet Flame Emperor. This skill has a total of three slashes, each slash is stronger than the previous one. This skill is also one of the keys to opening the Scarlet Flame Emperor Cave where Scarlet Flame Emperor has left behind his legacy.]
"Phew!"
Alex had already expected the rank of this skill. After all, this skill had already become a Royal Grade Skill after he replicated volume 2 of Scarlet Flame Saber Technique from Gatlin.
Now that his purpose here was done, it was time to go back. But he didn't plan to immediately enter the Profound Star Sect. Instead, he first plans to go to the Alchemist Association and replicate the alchemy knowledge from the higher-ups there.
There was only one reason why he wants to replicate the alchemy knowledge. It is because he wants to refine Earthly Spirit Pills. He has too many Earthly Spirit Milk in his possession. He could directly use them, but the effect will not be much better.
Thus, instead of directly using the Earthly Spirit Milk, he wants to refine them into pills before swallowing them and increasing his strength. The effect then will be much better.
.....
▓ Alchemist Association ▓
"Welcome to the Alchemist Association. How may I help you?"
The moment Alex entered the Alchemist Association, he was immediately greeted by a beautiful young lady that seemed to be a new attendant of the Alchemist Association.
"I'm here for obtaining a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master's identity. What should I do for that?" Alex smiled and asked. He was very clear about his goal and knew that he could only come in contact with the higher-ups of the Alchemy Association by attracting their attention.
And what could be the best way to attract their attention?
It is by taking the test and obtaining the identity of a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master. A young man who is not even 18 years old has become a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master, this will definitely attract the attention of many powerhouses and he could replicate their treasures.
"What?" The beautiful lady was stunned. She thought that she had heard wrong, so she hurriedly confirmed once again: "Sir, did you just say that you'll take the test for the Heaven Rank Alchemy Master's identity?"
"Yes, you heard it right!" Alex confirmed her. He had already expected this kind of reaction from her, so he was not surprised.
The girl looked at Alex with a surprised expression for a while. Seeing Alex's firm attitude, she understood that Alex is not pulling some pranks. Nodding her head, she said: "Mr. Alex, please come with me and register. A large-scale test will commence tomorrow evening because there is going to be Pill Fair Competition in three months. At that time, alchemists of Three Cultivation Land will gather at one place and compete against each other. Our Alchemist Association is also choosing alchemists who will participate in this competition. If you can really pass the test and become a Heaven Rank Alchemy Master, you'll also have a chance to be selected as one of the participants."
Alex fell in deep thought when he heard the beautiful lady. If he could really participate in this pill competition where alchemists from the three cultivation lands will gather and compete, it means he would have countless treasures to replicate at that time. How amazing it would be?
He immediately nodded his head and agreed with the beautiful young lady.
After registering, Alex left the Alchemist Association. He needed to attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Alchemist Association no matter what. After all, from them, not only could he replicate their knowledge of alchemy, but he could also replicate all the pill formulas they know.
Among so many alchemists, there is bound to be someone who knows the pill formula to refine Earthly Spirit Pill. After replicating that pill formula, he could refine those pills and increase his strength after swallowing them.
.....
"Knock!" "Knock!"
"Come in!"
"Mila, what brings you here?"
The attendant that attended to Alex before entered the room and arrived in front of a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was looking at an incomplete pill formula in his hand and was deep in thought, however, when he saw who has entered the room, he put away the incomplete pill formula and smiled at the young lady.
Mila said: "Father, I have something to report. I saw an interesting young man who wants to take the test for Heaven Rank Alchemy Master!"
"Oh, is that so?" The middle-aged man only smiled, showing no interest at all. He has seen many young talents in his days of being the Vice President of the Alchemy Association of Profound Star City. In his eyes, his daughter is still young and someone might have attracted her attention.
Maybe, Mila understood what her father was thinking. For a moment, she felt shame and embarrassment in her heart. She doesn't know why her father has the habit of thinking "something more".
She said: "It is not what you are thinking. I found it interesting because that young man has not even turned 18 but he already is taking the test of a Heaven Grade Alchemy Master. Don't you find it interesting as well?"
"What?" Only now did her father react. He immediately stood up with a stupefied expression on his face.
Seeing her father's stupefied face, Mila felt some sort of satisfaction in her heart. Her smile grew wider.
"It can't be. That young man must be joking or trying to cause trouble. How can a young man who is not even 18 become a Heaven Grade Alchemy Master? The youngest Alchemy Master in the history of Three Cultivation Lands is Lora Sharp, daughter of the Sharp Family who is only 22 years old. What you said can't be true!"
"Why can't it be true? Look at this!" Mila felt irritated for some reason when she heard the name Lora Sharp. She immediately took out the registration form that Alex had filled out and handed it over to her father.
The middle-aged man took the registration form and looked at it. He saw the details of Alex and the information he left behind.
"A disciple of Profound Star Sect's guest elder, Valerio Piroddi. He is also an Origin Sea Stage Level 2 martial warrior at such a young age."
The more the middle-aged man read, the more surprised he became. He didn't think he would find a genius of martial arts here. Alex was less than 18 years old but he was already an Origin Sea Stage Level 2 martial warrior. This was already a very astonishing fact.
However, how can a genius of martial arts also be a genius of alchemy?
It has to be known that Alex is less than 18 years old. And since he is a genius of martial arts, it means he must have spent more than 80% of his days practicing martial arts. How could someone like him also become a Heaven Grade Alchemy Master at the same time? It is impossible!
No matter what, he couldn't believe it.
However, looking at who Alex's master is, the middle-aged man finds it hard to refuse. It is because Valerio is very famous in the entire Profound Star Sect. He also knew a few things about a famous figures like Valerio Piroddi. He had heard of Valerio's many accomplishments.
Since Alex could make Valerio take interest in him and become his disciple, there is no doubt Alex is different from other people.
He thought like this because Valerio is famous for never taking a disciple. Many descendants of large and powerful families were rejected by Valerio. According to Valerio, they are not qualified to become his disciple.
But now, a figure like him accepted Alex. It means Alex is special.
