Chapter 136: Chapter 6 A Group of Despicable Women

Transforming Yan Che into a Poison Human was a very challenging process: not only did it require nine hundred and ninety-nine types of poisons, but Yan Che’s own willpower needed to be strong enough.

Ye Lingyue didn’t have enough poison in hand, but fortunately, she had three more years to prepare everything.

After temporarily settling down in Xia Capital, Lan Cai’er started preparing to establish Drunk Immortal Inn in Xia Capital non-stop, while Ye Lingyue went to report to Xia Capital’s Alchemist Association.

Leaving Li City, what Ye Lingyue missed the most was President Liao. He wrote her a letter of recommendation to facilitate her reporting to Xia Capital’s Alchemist Association.

Moreover, President Liao entrusted Ye Lingyue with taking the hundred Blue Pattern Xuanyin Elixirs she had refined earlier to the Alchemist Association, to give to a Xia Capital alchemist named Long Yu.

Ye Lingyue, due to the matters concerning the General Mansion and Yan Che, could not find the time in the initial days, only on the third day was she able to inquire about the location of the Alchemist Association.

Xia Capital’s Alchemist Association was the one with the largest number of members and the largest scale in Daxia Country. As President Liao said, this association alone had over a thousand members, with more than five hundred being Third Rank and above and ten who were Eighth to Ninth Rank alchemists.

Moreover, Xia Capital’s Alchemist Association also had an Alchemist Venerate. Unfortunately, there were rumors that this Alchemist Venerate was over a hundred years old and often traveled outside, rarely ever being at the Xia Capital Alchemist Association.

When Ye Lingyue arrived at the Alchemist Association, she initially thought that Xia Capital’s Alchemist Association was just bigger in size and had more members. However, she did not expect that the association was actually located directly in a tower.

Ye Lingyue, for the moment, was standing beneath Xia Capital’s Alchemist Tower.

The tower, lacking any entrance or stairways, stretched at least several meters high; the whole tower looked like a sharp sword piercing the sky, conspicuous among all the buildings in Xia Capital.

Ye Lingyue stood in front of the Alchemist Tower, clueless about how to ascend.

"What is this sister doing standing underneath the Alchemist Tower?" Behind her, the sound of footsteps followed, and a crisp and pleasant female voice reached Ye Lingyue’s ears.

Turning around, she saw a few young girls approaching.

These girls all looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.

Some wore Cloud Brocade silk dresses, while others had ostentatiously sumptuous skirts. Each bloomed like a peach blossom, with colorful gemstone hairpins adorning their heads, striving to outshine each other.

The girl who had spoken was a woman in red clothes, in the bloom of her twenties, with mesmerizing large eyes and a natural grace in every movement.

Next to her stood a creature resembling a large wolf dog with wings and iron claws, presumably her Beast Pet.

In Daxia, having a Beast Pet was often a sign of an illustrious family background, which also indicated that this young lady had a not insignificant status.

The girls around her were quite wary of the woman in red, and Ye Lingyue could feel the fluctuations of spiritual power from them, suggesting that these girls were also alchemists.

However, unlike the modest and unassuming alchemists of Li City Alchemist Association, these girls wore heavy makeup, which did not sit well with Ye Lingyue who always preferred simplicity.

The girls examined Ye Lingyue, noticing her plain Alchemist Robe that was neither stylish nor flattering, with three cauldrons embroidered on the lapel, signifying her status as just a Third Rank Alchemist.

Recently, Ye Lingyue’s spiritual power had broken through to the Fourth Rank, but she had yet to take the association’s test, and she was still wearing the Alchemist Robe from Li City.

Ye Lingyue normally wouldn’t hesitate to wear bold makeup and many pieces of jewelry prepared by her adoptive mother, but she found them too burdensome to wear.

For convenience in moving around, Ye Lingyue wore the plainest Alchemist Robe provided by the Li City Alchemist Association, tailored for the big masters.

In the eyes of these daughters from prestigious families, she seemed like a mud loach crawling out from a filthy pond.

"I am an alchemist from Li City, here to report today. I have a recommendation letter from the President of Li City, but I don’t know how to get to the Alchemist Tower," Ye Lingyue noticed the evident disdain in their eyes as well, but she held back her anger.

There would be longer days to come; she needn’t lose her temper at these snobbish people.

"Are you a relative of President Liao from Li City?" the pink-clothed young lady glanced at Ye Lingyue.

She knew of President Liao, who was an Eight Rank Alchemist and had studied at the Xia Capital Alchemist Tower before.

"I’m just an ordinary alchemist. My family has just relocated to Xia Capital," Ye Lingyue mentioned briefly, not wanting to flaunt connections.

"Pfft, and here I thought you were something special. It turns out you’re just a poor alchemist from a rural area like Li City. I’ve heard that alchemists from such small places don’t even know how to perform Alchemy. Last time, someone even broke my master’s alchemy furnace."

"That’s nothing; I’ve heard that someone, unable to afford Artifact Refining materials, stole from other alchemists and got kicked out of the Alchemist Tower."

In Daxia, being an alchemist is a symbol of status, and to some prestigious ladies, practicing martial arts is too tiring and bitter; they prefer to become seemingly leisurely and respected female alchemists.

Their families use a great deal of Elixir Pills and connections to train them as alchemists; their cultivation levels are neither high nor low, generally around Third and Fourth Rank.

These daughters of wealthy families native to Xia Capital thus hold themselves in high regard and look down the most on alchemists from small places with no background or strength like Ye Lingyue.

"What are you all absurdly talking about? I don’t think this sister is such a person. I am Nangong Qinglin, daughter of General Nangong Liang of the golden sword, welcome to Xia Capital." That red-clothed young lady, upon hearing Ye Lingyue introducing herself, not only didn’t turn cold but became even friendlier.

She, acting very affectionately, took Ye Lingyue’s hand and began attentively chatting with her.

Ye Lingyue felt something was odd in her heart and quietly observed the other girls, noticing them barely holding back their laughter and looking forward to a spectacle, which made her more cautious.

She didn’t expose them, but responded intermittently to Nangong Qinglin’s words.

"Sister Nangong, the Alchemist Tower is so high, how do you usually get up there? Don’t tell me everyone can fly?" Ye Lingyue feigned ignorance and asked curiously.

"Of course not, our cultivation isn’t enough for flying in the void. To enter the Alchemist Tower, we use Flying Devices." Nangong Qinglin explained as she pulled out a golden sword, thin as a finger but as she channeled her spiritual power into it, the sword’s body grew slightly larger. Then Nangong Qinglin leapt up, stood firmly on the sword, and gracefully flew a circle in mid-air before steadily landing on the ground.

Behind Nangong Qinglin, the other young ladies, keen to show off, also displayed their own Flying Devices, including Flying Daggers, and some were even pearl hairpins or jade pendants.

Once an alchemist’s cultivation reaches Third Rank, they can control objects to fly at low altitudes, and the Xia Capital Alchemist Association only recruits alchemists of Third Rank and above.

However, the Li City Alchemist Association had no such rules, which is why Ye Lingyue faced the embarrassing situation of not knowing how to enter the Tower upon reaching the Xia Capital Alchemist Tower.
