The following day, Yun Lintian woke up and cleaned himself before going out. Today, he was going to join the Divine Alchemy Association and visit the Mystic Auction House by the way.
As soon as Yun Lintian stepped out of the courtyard with Ning Yue, a middle-aged woman immediately greeted them. "Good morning, Senior Lin, Young Miss Lin. I am Mu Qing. I'll be serving both of you during this period."
"Thank you, Sister Mu. You can call me by my name directly," Yun Lintian replied politely.
He discovered this ordinary-looking woman was actually a Divine Tribulation Realm's expert. By letting her serve him like this, it could be seen how sincere the Ximen Clan was.
Mu Qing nodded gently. "Then I will call both of you Little Brother Lin and Little Sister Lin."
"Where do you want to go first?"
Yun Lintian quickly said. "Please send us to the Divine Alchemy Association."
Mu Qing didn't say anything further and brought Yun Lintian and Ning Yue into a luxury carriage in the distance.
When the carriage left the Ximen Clan manor, Yun Lintian could feel several eyes watching him from all directions. Without a doubt, the commotion yesterday was quite sensational, alarming all forces here.
However, he could see that there was no malice in them. Perhaps they were simply curious about him.
Mu Qing also perceived this. She glanced at them coldly and continued to drive the carriage toward the association building.
Twenty minutes later, the carriage gradually arrived in front of the majestic building.
"We're here." Mu Qing said gently.
Yun Lintian and Ning Yue got off the carriage. He said. "Thank you, Sister Mu. There should be a test for me. I don't know how long it would take. You can go back first."
Mu Qing shook her head. "It's fine. I'll stay with you."
"Alright." Yun Lintian didn't insist further and walked into the building with Ning Yue and Mu Qing.
As soon as he stepped into the building, Yun Lintian saw a lot of people inside. Even though the reception hall was spacious, it was still crowded. This puzzled him slightly.
"They came here to register for the upcoming alchemy competition in the Great Xia Dynasty." Mu Qing explained.
She then took a rectangle token out and showed it to a receptionist nearby.
The receptionist immediately became respectful and led Yun Lintian's group to a private room.
"May I know what business esteemed guests come here for?" The receptionist asked politely.
Yun Lintian took a letter and a token Cai Yuan gave him and handed them to the receptionist. "I am recommended to join the association."
The receptionist carefully checked the letter and token before saying. "Please wait for a moment. I will report to the president."
"Thank you." Yun Lintian said gently and sat down.
A few minutes later, the door opened, and a dignified middle-aged man entered the room.
"This must be Young Master Lin. My name is Zhi Wei, the president of this branch." The middle-aged man smiled warmly and greeted Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian got up and said. "Greetings, President Zhi."
"Don't be polite." Zhi Wei said with a meaningful smile. "I've already known your purpose for coming here. And, of course, I know how powerful Young Master Lin is."
Yun Lintian wasn't surprised about this. Since the others knew about yesterday's commotion, Zhi Wei was naturally aware of it.
"I can let you join us directly, but some people aren't convinced of your strength. Young Master Lin may need to go through a usual test." Zhi Wei said cautiously.
The Divine Alchemy Association was powerful, but it didn't mean they would let go of a heavenly genius like Yun Lintian. Zhi Wei couldn't wait to pull Yun Lintian in, but those stubborn old fogeys wouldn't let him do it.
"I understand, President Zhi. If you didn't talk about this, I would request it myself. After all, I don't want to leave a stain behind." Yun Lintian said calmly.
"Thank you for understanding us." Zhi Wei was relieved inwardly. He was afraid that Yun Lintian would be dissatisfied earlier. "You can call me Old Zhi directly. I wouldn't mind about it… Alright, please follow me."
"This is my younger sister. Can she go in with me?" Yun Lintian asked.
"No problem." Zhi Wei said with a smile.
Soon, everyone arrived at the top floor, where several alchemy rooms were located. At this moment, several people that were waiting for them looked at Yun Lintian in unison.
"Oh? This is the recently famous Lin Tian?" A young man in his twenties said.
"He is Lou Ping, the second young master of the Lou Clan and a disciple of the first elder of the association. He's the one that unconvinced." Zhi Wei sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian.
"I heard that you can refine a Divine Tribulation rank pill. Why don't you show us now? I really want to see whether it's true or fake." Lou Ping curled his lips. No matter how he looked at it, Yun Lintian was only twenty-two years old. He didn't believe that Yun Lintian could achieve such a feat.
Yun Lintian glanced at Lou Ping briefly and said. "Sure."
He turned to Zhi Wei and asked. "Can President Zhi choose a pill for me?"
Zhi Wei took a small book out and handed it to Yun Lintian. "Young Master Lin can choose it from here."
Yun Lintian browsed through the book briefly and said. "I will refine the Soaring Phoenix Pill. Do I have to prepare ingredients for myself?"
His choice immediately startled everyone at the scene. The Soaring Phoenix Pill was arguably the hardest to refine among the Divine Tribulation rank pills.
"No need. We will naturally provide the ingredients for you. We happened to have all the ingredients here." Zhi Wei said.
"Heh. You have to pay for it if you fail. Do you know that?" Lou Ping sneered.
Yun Lintian ignored him and said to Mu Qing. "Please take care of her."
Mu Qing nodded. "Don't worry."
"I'll be back in a while," Yun Lintian said to Ning Yue and chose the nearest room to enter.
"You don't seem to worry about him at all?" Mu Qing looked at Ning Yue and asked softly.
"He can do it with no problem." Ning Yue said confidently, contrasting her usual timid appearance.
"Che." Lou Ping sneered disdainfully and secretly glanced at the white-haired old man beside him. The two of them seemed to exchange a message in their minds…
