ting to some messy and despicable means."Although it was their first meeting, he had a feeling about Liu Yijian. He seemed to be an upright person, even when dealing with enemies, he would fight fair...Ye Bufan and the others flew all the way and arrived at the Lucheng gate in the afternoon.

"What a big city! It's so bustling!"

"Well, never seen a city this big before, have you"

Ma Kai wore a smug expression, as if Lu City belonged to his Ma family.

Then his gaze shifted to Ye Bufan and the others, "Well, I know you all come from Tianluo Prefecture. You've probably never seen such a prosperous city before, so this is a chance to broaden your horizons."

Ye Bufan glanced at him, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He could tell this guy was just a nouveau riche with no experience or sophistication.

If you've seen the Genius Demon War, you wouldn't be unfamiliar with yourself and wouldn't flaunt such a second-rate small town in front of me.

With his current mindset, he was too lazy to pay attention to such people. He simply strode into the city.

There are still important things to do, it's the last day to sign up, so you need to hurry and register yourself.

Upon entering the city, they learned that the Refining Competition was the most famous event in Lu City. A little inquiry revealed the location of the registration site.

When they arrived, the place was bustling with people, a sea of humanity surrounding the registration desk.

However, not many people signed up. It's probably because the deadline has passed and those who wanted to sign up have already done so.

The registration desk was manned by a middle-aged man with a small mustache, who was currently sitting in a large armchair, fanning himself and sipping tea. He seemed ready to quit work at any moment.

Ye Bufan walked over and politely said, "Excuse me, how do I sign up for the Refining Contest"

Hearing that someone was signing up to compete, Little Whiskers immediately forced a smile onto his face.

Alchemists hold a high status in the Kunlun Continent, especially in this Lu City. Anyone, no matter who they are, shows great respect when they encounter them.

"Sir, to be a refiner at such a young age is truly admirable."

"Little Whiskers started by complimenting him, then said, 'Registering here is very simple, just take out your Alchemist's badge and we'll register it for you.'"

"What A blacksmith's badge"

Ye Bufan was stunned. He didn't have any alchemist badges, and he had never even heard of them before.

The horse beside him immediately burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you don't even have a craftsman's badge and you ran here to sign up That's really funny."

Chen Youyou turned her head and glared fiercely at him: "What's it to you, shut up!"

Ma Kai shut his mouth, but still wore a wide smile. He now saw Ye Bufan as a rival, and the more the other suffered, the happier he became.

At this moment, Xiao Huzi also came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Aren't you a refiner"

Ye Bufan felt a little awkward: "I'm an alchemist, but I don't have a badge."

"What kind of alchemist are you without an insignia"

The smile on Xiao Huzi's face instantly vanished, and he even felt like he had been played. He was quite unhappy and turned his head back to sit on his grand master chair.

Ye Bufan didn't mind. He asked again, "What are the requirements for signing up here Is it enough to have a refiner's badge"

"Look for yourself."

Xiao Hu didn't even bother to reply this time, just pointed with his finger at a notice board beside him.

Ye Bufan turned his head to look, it read the relevant regulations for registration, the other clauses were optional, the most important thing was that you needed to be a Level Five Alchemist to register.

Although he didn't understand how the ranks of alchemists were divided on the Kunlun Continent, he had absolute confidence that his alchemy skills would definitely meet the requirements.

After figuring it out, he came to the side of the bearded man again: “This big brother, may I ask again, how can I obtain the Alchemist's Medal”

"Need I say more Of course, we go to the Blacksmith's Guild. Pass the corresponding exams and you'll receive badges of different ranks."

Though Xiao Huzi was somewhat impatient, he still answered his question.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan understood. This thing was probably similar to a rank certificate on Earth. He could just take an exam and get ranked.

"Where is the Alchemist's Guild I'm going to take the test right now!"

"Why don't you just take the test right now Do you think an Alchemist's Badge is some kind of sweet potato or baked yam"

Little Whiskers looked to have been provoked, raising a finger towards a tall building nearby.

"That's the Alchemist's Guild. If you have the skill, go take an exam and see if you can get a badge."

It's obvious that this little mustache is mocking the young people in front of him.

And how prestigious the identity of an alchemist is, and how difficult it is to pass the examination for the insignia!

To many people, Ye Bufan's words were just casual remarks and shouldn't be taken seriously.

However, his performance surprised everyone once again. He nodded without hesitation.

"Excuse me a moment, I'll be right back."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, leading the people towards the nearby blacksmith's guild.

When they saw he was really going to take the Artificer Badge exam, everyone around him instantly exploded.

"Is this young man crazy Are Alchemist badges really common cabbages"

"He's good-looking for his age, but unfortunately he's mentally ill. Even if he took the exam now, could he pass and get a fifth-level badge"

"Truly, ignorance breeds fearlessness. It seems they know nothing at all. How could someone so clueless ever become an alchemist"

The people around whispered to each other, discussing excitedly, no one believed it.

Although Ma Kai didn't speak, he stood at the back with a sneer on his face. He thought this was an embarrassing display.

Seeing that Ye Bufan was really walking towards the Alchemist's Guild, he wasn't joking around, Xiao Huzi hurriedly shouted from behind.

"Kid, I'm telling you this registration only ends in one hour. That's all the time I have to wait for you."

The crowd shook their heads and sighed again. Someone without even a first-rank alchemist badge wanting to pass the fifth-rank alchemist exam within an hour was simply delusional, an impossibility.

Ye Bufan ignored the reactions of the crowd and walked straight into the Alchemist's Guild.

Many people thought there was a good show to watch and ran after it.

"Excuse me, sir. Is there something I can do for you"

A young man in his twenties, dressed in staff attire, came out to greet them.

I want to test the Artificer's Badge.

Time is short, Ye Bufan wasted no time getting straight to the point.

"Sure."

It is common for people to come to the Alchemist's Guild for assessment, it is not surprising for young people.

"Do you know the rules for our evaluations"

Ye Bufan shook his head: "I don't know, this is the first time."

The young man said, "Assessments require refining materials. To avoid unnecessary waste, the cost of each assessment is 10,000 high-grade spirit stones."

If the assessment is passed, the fee will be refunded. If not, it will be deducted directly.

"Okay."

Ye Bufan understood this very well. If there was nothing to do, someone would come for an assessment. The Alchemist's Guild probably couldn't even afford alchemy materials without such regulations. It was quite reasonable.

After finishing his words, he casually tossed a storage ring, which contained exactly ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.

The young man took the money and said again, "Sir, how many ranks of alchemist are you planning to test"

Craftsmen below the fifth rank can now take the assessment automatically in the Hall of Trials. For those ranked sixth and above, you'll have to wait until tomorrow when an elder arrives to personally assess them.

Ye Bufan said, "No need to wait until tomorrow, I want to assess the fifth-rank alchemist right now."de, saying he has five-colored jade stones, but we don't know if it's true or not.""I'll go take a look."After waiting for so many days, Ye Bufan finally had a little news. He couldn't help but feel e...
