There are very few people like Wu Chen who practice both martial arts and alchemy. Moreover, even if they practice both, they have to prioritize. Judging from Wu Chen's achievements as a martial artist in the past year, he is a genius who is suitable for practicing martial arts. If he had chosen to enter their alchemy academy, it would definitely have delayed his progress in martial arts.
"Well, old man, I have something to ask you."
The name "old man" again made everyone else glare at Wu Chen. This kid, doesn't he know who he is facing? Zhu Kun is a fifth-rank alchemist. His alchemy skills are superb, second only to the vice-president of the Alchemy Academy, Mr. Yun. In their Beichen Academy, he is highly respected. Even the dean has to show respect to him. But Wu Chen actually called him "old man" directly, and not just once, but twice.
However, what was surprising was that Zhu Kun didn't seem to mind and said kindly: "Little guy, what's the matter?"
Wu Chen said: "Nothing else, I just want to ask you, can I also participate in this Alchemist Conference?"
A light tone was spoken softly, but it surprised everyone. Wu Chen, he also wants to participate in the Alchemist Conference
Wu Chen's talent is outstanding and few people can compare to him. They cannot deny this. However, that is only limited to martial arts practice, and martial arts practice and alchemy are two completely different things. Among martial artists, 90% of them do not have the qualifications to become alchemists. But they don't know that Wu Chen can make alchemy.
"Wu Chen, can you make pills?" Xia Youlan couldn't help but ask. She also didn't know that Wu Chen could make pills.
Wu Chen nodded: "Yes."
Hearing this, everyone was amazed, because Wu Chen's talent in martial arts was already amazing enough, and now he can even make pills. Such a person is too terrifying.
"Wu Chen, when did you learn how to make pills? How come I don't know it?" Xia Youlan asked in surprise.
Among the outer disciples of Beichen Academy, perhaps someone knew that Wu Chen could make pills, because on the second day after he entered the school and was choosing his department, Zhu Kun wanted to get Wu Chen into the alchemy department to learn the art of alchemy. If he didn't know how to make pills, or had the qualifications to be an alchemist, Zhu Kun would never want him to enter the alchemy academy.
As for true disciples like Xia Youlan, even less was known. Almost no one knew that Wu Chen could make pills. When they were choosing their departments on the second day after entering school, Xia Youlan and the others were not present, because that was a matter between disciples like Wu Chen, and had nothing to do with true disciples like them. They did not go to the Xianneng Academy either.
As for the alchemists around them, they had even less idea. They had almost no interaction with Wu Chen before. They were even more confused than Xia Youlan and the others.
Zhu Kun's expression froze. He was different from the others because he had known for a long time that Wu Chen could make pills. Moreover, when he first met Wu Chen, Wu Chen directly took out a second-grade top-grade pill. In this world, the lowest level of people who can make second-grade top-grade pills are third-grade alchemists, because second-grade alchemists simply cannot make second-grade top-grade pills. If this is true, then Wu Chen's level must be at least third-grade. A third-grade alchemist barely meets the minimum requirements of the Alchemist Conference.
"Wu Chen, can you make pills?" Yang Xiong asked.
Yang Xiong also knew Wu Chen. He was now a legendary figure in their Beichen Academy and was known to almost everyone.
Wu Chen nodded: "A little bit."
Then he took out his alchemist's attire and put it on. The three golden lines on his chest sparkled.
"He is really an alchemist."
Looking at Wu Chen wearing the alchemist's attire, everyone was extremely surprised. They had never imagined that Wu Chen was actually an alchemist, and his alchemy skills were quite good, reaching the level of a third-level alchemist.
"This guy is hiding too deeply."
Xia Youlan shook her head in her heart. The talent Wu Chen showed in cultivation was already shocking enough, but she didn't expect that he also had a unique talent in alchemy. This was too terrifying.
"this?"
Yang Xiong originally did not believe that Wu Chen was an alchemist. After all, the conditions for becoming an alchemist were extremely harsh, and not just anyone could become an alchemist. However, when he saw the alchemist's attire on Wu Chen, he believed it.
As for those young alchemists, they were disdainful. In such an alchemist conference, even a fourth-level alchemist might not be of any use, let alone a third-level alchemist, who would basically be just a bystander.
"Little guy, are you really going to attend the Alchemist Conference?"
Zhu Kun looked at Wu Chen, and sure enough, this guy was a third-rank alchemist. A third-rank alchemist was barely qualified to participate in this kind of alchemist conference.
"Why, no?"
If there hadn't been a reward of Ice Dragon Fruit at this Alchemist Conference, he wouldn't have bothered to attend.
"No, little guy, since you want to see it, go on stage with them tomorrow and let them teach you a lesson."
Having one more person participate wouldn't have much of an impact. Originally, they were planning to bring some third-level alchemists this time to broaden their horizons, but after some consideration, they decided not to bring them. Now that Wu Chen wants to go, let him go.
The others all snorted coldly. What could they say to a person who specialized in martial arts? Did they expect Wu Chen to be able to switch from martial arts practice to alchemy? This was obviously impossible.
"Come in."
Zhu Kun and Yang Xiong went into the house, and after them, the others also went in, completely leaving Wu Chen aside, as if he didn't exist.
Can an amateur alchemist compare to these professional alchemists
Wu Chen shrugged, not caring at all. If these people didn't want to pay attention to him, he didn't want to pay attention to them either.
"Wu Chen, when did you learn the art of alchemy?" Xia Youlan asked.
Wu Chen said: "Senior Sister Youlan, I have always been able to make pills."
"It always happens, so why don't I know?"
If Wu Chen hadn't been exposed today, she wouldn't have known anything about it.
"You didn't ask me." Wu Chen said with a smile.
Xia Youlan paused, speechless. Indeed, she had never asked.
