Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]

Chapter 533: Alchemist Token 1

"You knew?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan sighed before speaking.

"I suspected." He said and quickly continued.

"I instinctively suspected that this matter had something to do with us from the moment I heard that upper realm cultivators had descended to the lower heaven."

"What should we do?" The double asked but Zhen Yian shook his head.

"There is nothing to do." He started.

"We can buy more information when we have immortal stones but for now, let’s just live our life and leave everything else to fate."

Shen Xu nodded when he heard this.

"You are right." He said.

With that, the couple relaxed and soon exited the space.

Fu’an town was like most cities in the cultivation world. It had a city lord’s residence, a Myriad Treasures Pavillion, and the ten associations.

However, the Ten associations were more influential in the immortal realm than they were in the cultivation world.

"Ayuan, we need identity tokens." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

Because they didn’t have identity tokens, they were forced to sell their goods at discount prices.

Most importantly, they learned that they could sell because they were in a small town but if they went to a big city, they wouldn’t be able to sell pills without an alchemist’s token.

"I will get a talisman master’s token and you will get an alchemist’s token. We will get the rest in other towns." Zhen Yuan suggested and the double agreed.

"Let’s go." He said.

Soon after, the two entered the alchemists’ association building and as expected, the place was a hub of activity.

[Ayuan, we can upgrade our levels using the tokens from the cultivation world but I don’t think we should. I think it’s best to conceal that we are ascended cultivators.] The double transmitted and Zhen Yuan agreed.

[You are right. Let’s start from scratch.] He said.

[I want to keep a low profile.] Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

[I will mostly refine mid-grade pills and the occasional low and high grade pills. I won’t produce top grade or perfect grade pills. What do you think?] He asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.

Although they didn’t plan to disguise themselves, they didn’t want to be too high profile.

First, they were new to the immortal realm and didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention.

Second, their strength was at the bottom of the immortal realm and acting recklessly would likely lead to terrible consequences.

’What a hassle!’ Shen Xu thought and sighed.

"I will go queue. Wait for me." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

After that, Zhen Yuan went to the waiting area, while Shen Xu walked to a counter and joined the queue.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the double finally had his turn.

"What level are you testing?" The clerk asked.

"I don’t have an identity token, so I will test from the first to thirteenth level." Shen Xu said and the clerk couldn’t help but raise her head in surprise.

"What did you say?" She asked in disbelief.

"I will test from level one to level thirteen." The double said and the clerk swallowed.

At the same time, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes but she didn’t stop the double.

’It’s not my problem if you waste all your immortal stones.’ She thought.

"The level one test costs one thousand immortal stones..." She started.

In the end, Shen Xu paid one million, seven hundred and ninety-five thousand immortal stones for the thirteen tests.

"You can go to room one hundred and two for the level one to level nine tests." The clerk said after receiving the payment.

"What about the other tests?" Shen Xu asked.

"Someone will take you to the third floor when you pass the first nine tests." The clerk said but she wasn’t optimistic.

After all, taking so many tests in one day would definitely exhaust a person.

Considering that, she didn’t think the young man would pass the tests in one go.

"Thank you." Shen Xu said, took his test number token, and walked to Zhen Yuan.

[Our immortal stones are gone.] He transmitted with a forlorn expression.

[Don’t you still have some high grade pills that we haven’t sold? We will sell them when you get your identity token.] Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded.

"My test is in room one hundred and two on the second floor. Let’s go." He said and the two left the first floor.

After climbing to the second floor, Zhen Yuan went to the waiting area and Shen Xu went to the test room.

The room was ten square metres.

At a glance, it had nine stone tables and a storage bag was placed on each.

Seeing this, Shen Xu walked to the first table and reached into the storage bag.

A moment later, he removed a small pouch, and opened it to reveal a jade square and a storage ring.

After confirming that there was nothing else, he injected a strand of qi into the jade square and read the instructions.

"Refine a level one qi replenishing pill." He read and quickly continued.

"You have three tries and two sichen. Place the refined pills in the storage ring."

Shen Xu smiled when he read this.

A breath later, he checked the storage ring and found three sets of the materials needed to refine the level one qi replenishing pill.

’Easy.’ He thought and began preparing.

First, he setup a workplace and took out his pill furnace.

When this was done, he refined the pills, controlling the quality so that he only refined eight high-grade pills.

Soon after, he placed the pills in the storage ring and an incense stick later, a level one alchemist’s token appeared in the ring.

’It turns out that the ring has a small teleportation formation.’ He thought but didn’t dwell on it.

Instead, he took the token and walked to the second table, ready to take the second test.

Three sichen passed in the blink of an eye and during that time, Shen Xu took nine tests and passed all.

Most importantly, because his qi was extremely pure and abundant, the double was still in good spirits and wasn’t exhausted.
