While holding onto Xiao Yi Xian's waist to prevent her from falling, Xiao Xue could not help but sigh. As expected of the thinnest waist in battle through the heavens, the feeling was impeccable.
First, she was not a lesbian; second, she was not a lesbian; finally, she was not a lesbian. She was simply appreciating beautiful things. Xiao Xue did not notice that Xiao Yi Xian, who was holding her waist, had slightly flushed cheeks. After all, the space on the sword was limited, and standing two people on it was quite tight. Therefore, the two of them could be said to be—fitting perfectly together. It was not for anything else, just purely not wanting to fall off.
"Sect Master Yun, let us part ways here," Xiao Xue said, looking at Yun Yun on the side. "Mm," Yun Yun nodded, then took out a storage ring and handed it to Xiao Xue. "Thank you for taking care of me during these days; please accept these items as a token of my gratitude."
As expected of a filthy rich person, she gave away the items along with the storage ring without even blinking. When Fa Ma sent her medicinal herbs, he also gave them along with the storage ring. However, an ordinary storage ring was only worth about 100,000 gold coins, which was petty cash for people like Fa Ma and Yun Yun. Xiao Xue naturally had no reason to refuse free items; after all, she had saved Yun Yun's life and helped her obtain the purple spirit crystal. Therefore, she accepted these things with a clear conscience.
After Yun Yun flew away, Xiao Xue's mental energy scanned the storage ring and found a Black Rank High-Grade Water Attribute Cultivation Technique inside, along with... the Sea Heart Inner Armor. Xiao Xue: "..." Why are you wearing someone else's Pin Ru's clothes?
This Sea Heart Inner Armor was made from a strange metal produced in the belly of a sixth-Rank sea Demonic Beast, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale. (Sea Demonic Beasts, wow, battle through the heavens actually has a sea area!) Its defensive power depended on the strength of its owner, and Xiao Xue's Dou Qi was also Water Attribute. With the two complementing each other, its defensive effect would only be stronger. After putting on this inner armor, I am afraid ordinary Dou Lings would not be able to easily injure her. However, Xiao Xue always felt it was a bit strange. After all, this thing, it is an inner armor.
Xiao Xue shook her head, stopped thinking about this matter, flew on her sword to the sky above the Alchemist Guild, and then slowly descended. In the eyes of most people, being able to fly was equivalent to a Dou Wang. And someone like Xiao Xue, who could fly without even Dou Qi Wings, naturally attracted the attention of passersby. Inside the Alchemist Guild, someone naturally recognized Xiao Xue and immediately came out to greet her. Xiao Xue ignored the onlookers and directly pulled Xiao Yi Xian into the Alchemist Guild.
"My Lord, what brings you to the Alchemist Guild?" the attendant asked respectfully. "I am here to take the Fifth-Grade Alchemist assessment," Xiao Xue said indifferently. "Hiss~"
The attendant did not doubt Xiao Xue's words; after all, without sufficient strength, no one would come to the Alchemist Guild to make a fool of themselves. Moreover, the other party said she was participating in the Fifth-Grade Alchemist assessment, which meant she had absolute confidence in Third-Grade and Fourth-Grade Alchemist assessments! This matter was far beyond her capabilities. The Fifth-Grade Alchemist assessment could only be presided over by the Guild President! After all, within the Alchemist Guild, only the President was a Fifth-Grade Alchemist; even the Vice President was only Fourth-Grade! It was not that there was only one Fifth-Grade Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, but Fa Ma was indeed the only one who joined the Alchemist Guild. If Xiao Xue passed the Fifth-Grade Alchemist assessment, her status in the Alchemist Guild would be second only to President Fa Ma!
"M... My Lord, please wait a moment, I will go find the President to preside over the assessment for you." After saying this, the attendant led Xiao Xue to the side of the assessment room and immediately turned to find the President.
Hearing that someone was going to take the Fifth-Grade Alchemist assessment, almost all the idlers in the Alchemist Guild came over to watch. Although the Fifth-Grade Alchemist assessment was taking place inside and they could not see anything, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the spectators at all. After all, there were only a few Fifth-Grade Alchemists in the entire Jia Ma Empire. As for how this news spread... Xiao Xue did it. There was no way around it; she had stayed in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so long and had not received any "prestige value" in a long time. Now that there was an opportunity, she naturally had to fleece some wool. What could be more shocking than a fifteen-year-old Fifth-Grade Alchemist? After all, in the Jia Ma Empire, the strongest Alchemist was only the Sixth-Rank Pill King Gu He.
