"Mu Qingge... so you are Mu Qingge." Feng Ping’s eyes were filled with shock that refused to recede. "Aren’t you an Artifact Refiner?"
Mu Qingge, famous as a Holy Level Refiner, even before she topped the Green Talent List.
In the Middle Ancient Realm, the only Holy Level Refiner. How could he not have known?
Mu Qingge smiled lightly, "There’s no rule saying an Artifact Refiner can’t also be an Alchemist, right?"
"..." Feng Ping was speechless. Indeed, there are no rules against it, but this is quite monstrous. Both Alchemists and Refiners are rare talents among the common people, perhaps one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.
Both artifact refining and alchemy are professions that require deep focus and research.
And her?
So young, she’s already the only Holy Level Refiner, and also the top cultivator of the younger generation. Now, she has revealed her identity as a Divine Level Alchemist. The most terrifying thing is, she possesses the perfect realm that all alchemists dream of achieving.
It seems all the good fortune in the world has gathered upon her.
"Master Feng Ping, have I passed?" The silence behind her and Feng Ping’s quietude in front did not cause any fluctuation in Mu Qingge’s emotions. She simply asked lightly, her tone calm.
Passed?
Is there even a need to ask? Such a peerless prodigy, such a genius... Feng Ping could already imagine the upheaval Mu Qingge would cause upon entering the Inner Courtyard! Those masters who have long secluded themselves in intensive training would not be able to resist coming out to vie for this disciple.
Disciple?
Feng Ping’s mouth twitched suddenly. Mu Qingge is already a Divine Level Alchemist with a perfect realm; who is worthy of being her teacher?
Unless...
Feng Ping’s eyes shifted, he collected his stormy emotions, and said to Mu Qingge with a steady voice, "You’ve passed. From now on, you are a disciple of the Inner Courtyard at the Alchemy Institute. Tomorrow, you shall enter the Inner Courtyard with the other two."
"Thank you, Master Feng Ping." Mu Qingge clasped her fists in a polite gesture, then turned to walk towards Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing.
Below, thousands of people quietly watched the three of them.
With Mu Qingge’s identity revealed, none of them could find words to say. It seemed as if any words they said would be wrong and could not make up for the mockery and sarcasm they previously directed at her.
"Let’s go," Mu Qingge smiled to the two of them.
Since the matter was resolved, there was no reason for the three to stay here.
Mei Zizhong wasn’t one for noise, and Zhao Nanxing was well-aware of the entrance examination procedures of the Outer Court of the Alchemy Institute. Mu Qingge wasn’t particularly interested in them either, so why stay?
The two nodded at the same time and walked out with Mu Qingge.
Wherever they passed, the crowded people quickly stepped aside, making way for them. The three walked through the center calmly, their eyes never landing on those around them.
The figures of the three gradually walked away, disappearing before thousands of people.
The passage opened for them closed once again. Discussions started anew.
"Look, now that’s presence!"
"Truly powerful people are indeed reserved."
"We mocked her so much before, but Mu City Lord didn’t care at all. This is the difference between us. If it were me, I’d probably want revenge."
"Heh, if you did that, you’d be a petty person at best. Mu City Lord’s status and position are already far above ours. If she quarreled with us, wouldn’t it lower her status?"
"Exactly, Mu City Lord is truly a model for us!"
"I’ve decided! From now on, Mu City Lord will be my role model, my idol, my goal!"
"Hmph." Feng Ping let out a cold snort, interrupting the increasingly fervent discussion among the people.
His voice made the surroundings silent again, as everyone watched him nervously.
Nobody knew if he, having been put down by Mu Qingge, would turn to give them a hard time. With Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong as shining examples, who would dare call themselves a genius now?
Who would still be confident enough to think the Alchemy Institute must take them?
"You all, prepare for the Outer Court entrance examination." Luckily, Feng Ping didn’t give them a hard time as expected, but instead announced the start of the examination.
This made thousands of people quietly sigh in relief.
...
Back at the small courtyard, Zhao Nanxing said to Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong, "You’ve both had a tiring day, so rest well. Tomorrow, I’ll come to take you to the Inner Courtyard."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao," Mu Qingge smiled.
Zhao Nanxing said, "You’re still so formal with me?"
Saying this, he paused for a moment and reminded, "Once you enter the Inner Courtyard, you can familiarize yourselves first, but generally after six months you have to choose which master to study under. This rule is quite similar to the Medicine Tower."
"Six months later?" Mu Qingge pondered for a moment, and looked up at Zhao Nanxing with clear eyes, "If I remember correctly, the Alchemy Conference is also held around six months from now, right?"
Zhao Nanxing nodded, "Correct. By the time the Alchemy Conference ends, you two will need to choose a teacher."
