Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

Chapter 81 Ch-81: Alchemist Hall And Ranks

Wang Ming, Bai Lingxi, Shi Yu, Fu Niu, and Fu Jingling made their way toward the Alchemy Hall, the building was massive and various stalls were set up in front of the hall selling all kinds of herbs and pills. Wang Ming saw a stall selling pills that prolonged the youthful appearance of a person which was for obvious reasons crowed by females who are primarily non-cultivators as cultivators have a very long lifespan and do not need such gimmicks but still it is a very efficient way to earn some small amount of spirit stones

Another stall was selling some pills which increased the physical strength of cultivators and were crowded by both males and females, he even saw a stall that sell pills that could cure impotence in men which was deserted but occasionally a few cloaked figures were seen purchasing pills from that stall, people were looking at the cloaked figures with a hint of pity in their eyes

As Wang Ming was silently observing his surrounding they finally entered the Alchemist Hall, and an even stronger aroma of herbs than when he entered the city invaded his nostrils, he saw many alchemists sitting in front of the cauldron and sweating profusely while trying to concoct a pill

*BOOM*

" AHH...NOOO...My PILL...MY CULTIVATION" Wang Ming turned his head towards the source of the explosion and saw a cauldron explode into smithereens, he noticed the man concocting the pill was covered in blood and his dantain got damaged

" This is quite a common occurrence here" Fu Jingling said when she saw the look on Wang Ming's face as he turned his head towards her for an explanation as she continued

" You see even the most experienced Alchemist may fail to concoct a pill properly which may lead to forming a pill that is a lower grade compared to the high-grade materials used, sometimes experienced Alchemist may lose focus and end up exploding their pill cauldrons due to wrong execution and as a result they cripple their own Cultivation which happened to the man over there, not to mention he was just a ranked-1 Alchemist who was trying to produce a higher grade pill than he was capable of" Fu Jingling explained as she looked at the man without any form of pity

" Rank 1, what is that?" Wang Ming asked as he was observing the Alchemist wailing in pain while some people carried him inside for treatment

" Oh, I keep forgetting that is your first time here but even so normal cultivators who are not cultivators at least have this knowledge which is common, did you live under a rock or something?" Fu Jingling asked as she looked at Wang Ming weirdy

" Hmph, he must have been busy sacrificing himself for all the women's sake, that he even forgot to gain such common knowledge, isn't it right?" Bai Lingxi asked with a smirk when he saw the pale face of Wang Ming

Wang Ming almost coughed out blood when he heard those words and stared at Bai Lingxi as if she had grown a second head

" I recently became a cultivator and was always living in seclusion, so I do not have knowledge of these matters" Wang Ming replied to which Fu Jingling just shrugged her shoulders

" First of all, you should know that like every other profession Alchemists also have the same method to measure an Alchemists worth and that is the ranking system, the ranking system starts from Ranked-1 and goes all up to Ranked-9 title which only a handful amount of Alchemist has succeded in attaining, moreover just concocting a high ranked pill won't make you advance through the ranks, you have to proper knowledge on herbs and also must gain recognition from a higher ranked Alchemist than yourself and also pass the assessment test that follows" Fu Jingling explained to which Wang Ming nodded his head in understanding

" What is the purpose of ranking anyway, I mean if you can just produce higher rank pills than your current rank what is the point of ranking up?" Wang Ming asked in curiosity which caused Fu Jingling to smirk

" If you do not Rank Up then you won't be able to purchase the materials required to concoct the pill, neither will you be able to enter the places where the required materials are found because those places are guarded by powerful cultivators" Fu Jingling repliedραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

" Oh, I see" Wang Ming said

" Anyway, let's go towards the reception" Fu Jingling pointed towards the direction of the reception

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom A young man who seemed to be in his late thirties was currently sitting in the place of the receptionist and going through what seemed to be an Alchemist's book which had information about various herbs and how to concoct pills

" I swear to myself that within the next 5 years, I will become an Alchemist for sure" the man said while furiously browsing through the book

" Excuse me, I would like to apply for the Alchemist assessment exam" a voice momentarily paused his movements before he started reading again

" How many years has it been that you have been practicing Alchemy?" the man asked without taking his eyes off his book

" I have never practiced Alchemy in my entire life" the voice replied which caused a frown on paper on the man's face

' Tch, another person who thinks Alchemy is easy, sigh, this job sometimes gets annoying when I want to reject such people so often but am unable to do so due to the damn rules' the man sneered in his mind

The man looked up and saw the appearance of the man which caused his mood to sour even more

' Fuck, this bastard is really handsome, I hate handsome men, let's see how you attempt the test, no one will know if I ignore the rules just this once' he thought in his mind while completely ignoring the other women who were beside him as he hatefully looked at the man in front of him

" Go home, if you never practiced Alchemy you will fail, it is meaningless for you to even try" the man said and tried to shoo him off

" Oi, how do you know that I will fail?" the voice sound a bit irritated

" From what I know, you can't reject someone from attempting to take a test, so why are you trying to hinder his participation" a feminine voice followed after his words

" I will do whatever I want, just leave, do not annoy m-" before he could finish, the words that were about to come out of his mouth got stuck in his throat when he saw the source of the voice
