Chapter 34 Hu Jia (Please recommend and read)
Sensing the doubt in Xu Haoyu's eyes, Hu Qian smiled and introduced:
"Haoyu, this is my granddaughter. Her name is Hu Jia. She has decent talent, but not as much as you. She is also 11 or 12 years old, but she only has the eighth level of Dou Qi. She needs to accumulate it for another year or two before she can break through to Dou Zhe."
When Hu Jia heard her grandfather's evaluation of her, she pouted and looked unhappy. In the past, her grandfather always regarded her as proud, but today he actually said this. She immediately stretched out her little hand, pulled her grandfather's sleeve, and said unconvincedly:
"Grandpa, my talent is no worse than anyone else's. How do you think he is better than me?"
Hu Qian's face turned serious when he heard this. He knew that his granddaughter was already very talented, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to let his granddaughter know that there are always people better than you. He then said solemnly:
"Jia'er, the person in front of you is named Xu Haoyu. He came to register yesterday under the protection of the family elders. He is the same age as you, but he is already a four-star Grand Master."
After these words were spoken, Hu Jia looked at Xu Haoyu in shock, her mouth wide open, her eyes full of disbelief.
How could there be such a freak who could become a four-star master at the age of eleven or twelve? To be precise, he is a five-star master and just achieved a breakthrough last night.
Logically speaking, at the Dou Qi stage, no one can practice martial arts, and can only rely on the most basic seals to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to improve their Dou Qi little by little.
Only after breaking through to become a fighter and starting to practice martial arts will there be a chance to make rapid progress.
It can be said that at this moment, Hu Jia truly realized that the gap between people can be so huge.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Hu Qian reached out and touched Hu Jia's head. He didn't really want to discourage his granddaughter. He hoped that after this time, his granddaughter would be more humble and practice more diligently.
Immediately, Hu Qian looked up at Xu Haoyu, and his voice became gentle again:
"Okay, Haoyu, I'll take you to report to the Alchemy Department now."
After he finished speaking, Hu Qian pulled Hu Jia and walked in front, motioning Xu Haoyu to follow behind him.
Xu Haoyu chuckled and followed. He had already gotten used to it. He was always the "other people's child" in the eyes of the elders.
However, seeing that Hu Jiadu was only this young, he finally realized that Xiao Yan was probably about the same age as him now.
……
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the alchemy department. Just by arriving here, they could smell the fragrance of medicine, which was a fragrance that could only be left after long-term alchemy. It was a lingering fragrance that was refreshing.
With Hu Qian walking in front, they encountered no obstacles and quickly arrived at the top floor of the building, the seventh floor.
The first floor is the place for alchemist apprentices, the second floor is the place for first-grade alchemists, the third floor is the place for second-grade alchemists... and so on. The seventh floor is the place for sixth-grade alchemists and it is also the office of Elder Fire.
Arriving at the seventh floor, while still in the corridor, Hu Qian shouted with a smile:
"Elder Huo, I sent a genius to your Alchemy Department. Come and take a look."
As soon as the words fell, a powerful voice came from a room in the distance:
"Deputy Dean, what kind of genius is this that you have to trouble yourself to send him here?"
Then, an old man in a red robe with half black and half white hair walked out of the room and came forward.
After he came out, he looked at Hu Qian, then at Hu Jia, and finally at Xu Haoyu, and immediately looked him up and down:
"Deputy Dean, this is the genius you mentioned. Is he an apprentice alchemist or a first-class alchemist?"
This old man was the Fire Elder mentioned by Hu Qian. He thought Xu Haoyu was not very old, but Hu Qian said he was a genius. Even if he was not a first-class alchemist, he was an apprentice alchemist. Otherwise, he could not be considered a genius. Hu Qian smiled mysteriously when he heard this:
"That's too low. He is a fourth-rank alchemist, and I have promised him that he can freely learn the alchemist's pill formula and use the alchemist's medicinal materials at will."
what!
Elder Huo was shocked. You know, he is only a fifth-grade peak alchemist. He then looked at Xu Haoyu with a scrutinizing look and said:
"You are a fourth-rank alchemist. Do you have any proof? Have you ever taken an assessment at your local alchemist guild?"
Xu Haoyu shook his head and responded:
"I have been learning from the chief alchemist of my family and have never gone to the Alchemist Guild for assessment."
Elder Huo frowned. He didn't believe it. He really couldn't believe that there would be such a young fourth-grade alchemist:
"Without evidence, it's hard for people to believe that you are a fourth-grade alchemist. I still need to consider the promise made to you by the vice-president."
Xu Haoyu shrugged. His age was his advantage, as it represented extraordinary talent, but it was also his disadvantage, as all his achievements could easily be questioned.
So he said bluntly:
"It's very simple. You can ask someone to prepare a Qi Gathering Powder pill, and I can make the medicine on the spot."
Elder Huo agreed without thinking, this is indeed the best way:
"Well, come with me."
Under the leadership of Elder Huo, they retreated back to the fifth floor, which was the activity venue for fourth-grade alchemists. Many fourth-grade alchemists, including students and mentors, gathered there. It also stored many medicinal materials used to refine fourth-grade pills.
Elder Huo gave the order, and the herbs used to refine the Qi Gathering Powder were brought over, but not one portion, but three portions.
Elder Huo was still very kind. He did not require Xu Haoyu to succeed in refining the medicine in one try. As long as he could succeed once out of three times, it would prove that he was undoubtedly a fourth-grade alchemist.
At the same time, on this floor, all the fourth-grade alchemists who were originally exchanging experiences in public places or studying pill recipes in the rooms gathered together as long as they were free to give instructions to Xu Haoyu.
Apparently, they had also heard that Xu Haoyu, who looked very immature, was going to refine a fourth-grade elixir to prove that he was a fourth-grade alchemist.
There was a hint of worry in Hu Qian's eyes. Now, everything depended on Xu Haoyu himself.
Next to Hu Qian, Hu Jia's face was full of disbelief. How could there be such a genius? At such a young age, she was already a four-star great fighting master and a fourth-grade alchemist. This made her seem like a loser, a loser among losers.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Haoyu took out the medicine cauldron calmly, with a calm mind and not a bit nervous. He raised his hand and summoned the Heavenly Spirit Fire.
With a sound, when the white flame appeared in his hand, it instantly attracted the attention of the whole audience.
Physical flame, this is indeed an ability that only a fourth-grade alchemist possesses.
This white flame, the moment it burns, causes the temperature of the surrounding area to continue to rise, revealing a kind of wildness and ferocity, it should be a special kind of beast fire.
Before everyone knew it, they had already begun to believe that Xu Haoyu was a fourth-grade alchemist...
