Chapter 1348: Chapter 1345: Dragon King, I have news about the protector!

Jiang Deshan’s face turned a shade of iron blue; he had never imagined that this young man was a Level 4 Alchemist!

But since the other party was a Level 4 Alchemist, why would he need to seek certification here?

This was one of the reasons everyone was puzzled,

considering that the Medicine Alliance in Lake Cloud Town could only certify up to a Level 2 Alchemist!

If this young man wanted to certify a higher qualification as an alchemist, he would have to go to more central regions for certification.

Could it be that this person was deliberately playing dumb to overpower others?

Jiang Deshan’s eyes now held a hint of apprehension, and he was even ready to retreat!

After all, offending a Level 4 Alchemist was undoubtedly a death sentence!

And the conflict between him and this young man had fully ignited; there was no way the other party would let him off.

At this moment, everyone had their own ulterior motives and all subconsciously looked towards Elder Zhou!

Whether this young man was truly a Level 4 Alchemist could perhaps only be confirmed by Elder Zhou!

But at this moment, Elder Zhou was still unable to calm himself.

While others might doubt Ren Feifan’s potential as a fourth-tier alchemist or his youth, only Elder Zhou knew the storm that was raging inside of him!

Although he too could attempt to condense true fire, the failure rate was extremely high! Compared to the true fire condensed by the other party, his was as different as heaven and earth.

Once he could condense complete true fire, he would certainly step into the realm of a Level 4 Alchemist.

He had also witnessed some Level 4 Alchemists condensing true fire.

But judging by the current flames, this young man was not merely a Level 4 Alchemist! He might even be higher!

Could this person be a talented young man from an alchemist family?

Otherwise, it simply made no sense!

Ren Feifan observed the scene around him, unwilling to waste any more time, as he had no interest in being an alchemist.

He only wanted to obtain the Identity Token and immediately speed off to the Demon Clan.

Although the runes carried the information there, he could not be at ease until he went personally.

He had a premonition that this might be the biggest crisis Egg had faced so far!

Thus, Ren Feifan directly looked towards Elder Zhou and spoke indifferently, "Elder Zhou, may I enter now?"

Elder Zhou was still in a daze and had no reaction.

Ren Feifan emphasized his request again, and Elder Zhou finally realized, "Ah? Of course, you can... please, Master, inside!"

Ren Feifan nodded and stepped directly into the Medicine Alliance.

This time, no one dared to stop him!

The guards of the Medicine Alliance even knelt down, trembling all over.

Elder Zhou’s attitude had already confirmed the authenticity of this person’s identity!

Here was a Level 4 Alchemist! Offending him could be far worse than mere death; it could lead to the extermination of their entire family!

After Ren Feifan entered, everyone else followed, including Jiang Deshan who had been about to leave but decided to turn back; he was curious to see what this fellow was up to!

When Ren Feifan reached the grand hall of the Medicine Alliance, a rich fragrance of medicine drifted over, and he found that most people inside were actually concocting medicinal liquids.

However, the quality of the medicinal liquids being made was generally low, and he was able to produce them back in Jiangnan Province.

Was the alchemy level of the Hidden Gate so low? Or was it that Lake Cloud Town was too small?

Ren Feifan was more inclined towards the latter.

As Ren Feifan contemplated, Elder Zhou carefully asked, "Master, what exactly brings you here?"

He clearly believed that Ren Feifan’s real purpose wasn’t this. After all, how could a Level 4 Alchemist come to certify as a Level 2?

"Big brother, I really am here to certify as a Level 2 Alchemist, Elder Zhou, just name the tests and I’ll take them one by one!"

Ren Feifan truly felt like crying but had no tears.

Why did nobody believe the truth these days?

Elder Zhou’s gaze intensely focused on Ren Feifan, who clearly wasn’t lying. But, certifying as a Level 2 Alchemist—who dared to assess that?

Seeing Elder Zhou’s hesitant demeanor, Ren Feifan said helplessly, resorting to bluffing, "It seems there’s no need to hide it any longer. Actually, I come from an alchemical family. This is my first time stepping into the Hidden Gate. I wish to become an alchemist of the Hidden Gate, but I knew I had to start from being a certified alchemist. That’s why I’m here. Now, are you satisfied?"

Elder Zhou was shocked upon hearing "alchemy family" and suddenly realized, though still puzzled. Nevertheless, this was the most acceptable version, and he nodded, "So it is. But, Master, do you know? To certify as an alchemist, one must start from Level 1, and there has to be a gap of over three months between each level. Logically, without any star ratings, you can’t step directly into Level 2."

"Then I’ll certify as Level 1," Ren Feifan said casually. He just wanted an identity token, and didn’t want so much hassle.

Elder Zhou smiled and added, "Master, there’s one more thing I haven’t told you. Every Level 3 Alchemist holds a quota to exceptionally accept a highly talented individual into the Medicine Alliance as a Level 2 Alchemist. I am willing to offer this quota to you, Master! It will also save you some trouble!"

"Oh?" Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed, clearly noticing Elder Zhou trying to court favor, likely due to the fabricated backstory about his family.

"How should I address you, Master?" asked Elder Zhou.

"Ren Feifan."

Ren Feifan spoke his name without any hesitation. Within the vast Hidden Gate, having the same name was normal.

Elder Zhou repeated the name several times, then said, "Master Ren, each Level 2 Alchemist gets an additional identity token that requires your blood essence. What do you think..."

Upon hearing "identity token," Ren Feifan’s heart leapt, yet he remained outwardly calm. He then pinched his finger, and a drop of blood essence shot out!

Elder Zhou hurriedly took out a Jade Bottle, carefully guiding the blood essence into it, and then respectfully stepped back.

"Master Ren, please wait a moment, I’ll send someone to make the identity token for you now!"

...

Meanwhile, at the Outer Hidden Sect, Demon Clan’s great hall.

A robust young man walked back and forth!

Below the great hall, a group of Demon Clan powerhouses knelt, heads lowered, not daring to utter a word!

Because the imposing young man on the stage was Ao Tian of the Demon Clan, the undisputed sovereign of the Demon Clan!

Ao Tian suddenly slammed his palm onto the Dragon Throne beside him, his cold voice echoing throughout the hall!

"A bunch of useless fools! You can’t even find one person! Why does no one know the whereabouts of the protector? Could it be that the protector has simply vanished from this world?"

Ao Tian burst with an overwhelming aura, instilling fear in everyone!

At that moment, an elder of the Demon Clan burst into the hall from outside!

"Dragon King, I have news of the protector!"

Ao Tian’s figure instantly vanished, and in a blink, he was in front of the Demon Clan elder, grabbing his clothes and demanding, "What! Where is the Dragon Mistress? Tell me quickly!"

The Demon Clan elder’s eyes flickered with guile, yet he feigned panic and said, "Dragon King, someone saw the protector at the North Mountain Ridge. I just went to verify, and indeed, there was the scent of the protector, and this!"

With that, he revealed a golden scale in his palm!

Clearly, it was a Dragon Scale from the body of the Dragon Mistress!
