Following the direction pointed by the bun shop owner, Yiran walked slowly towards the Alchemist Guild.
Although it was just getting dark, the pedestrians on the road were already in a hurry.
Walking through the crowd, Yiran soon discovered a building with a simple and magnificent appearance.
With just one glance, Yiran could tell that there was a space formation covering the outside of the building, but even so, its momentum still surprised Yiran.
In Yishui City, even the Starfall Arena looks like a "small" attic covering an area of several acres from outside the formation.
The palace-like building that appeared in front of Yiran's eyes, even though it was still some distance away, its size had penetrated deeply into Yiran's heart.
Yiran believed that even with the space formation coverage, the Alchemist Guild in Linjiang City was already bigger than the entire Starfall Arena.
Continuing to follow the flow of people towards the building, Yiran discovered that a large number of people were coming from various intersections. After gathering here, they all headed towards the Alchemist Guild.
It is hard to imagine that a place like the Alchemist Guild could have such a huge crowd.
But from the few words of some people, Yiran finally understood that Linjiang City, as one of the twelve cities in Southern Continent famous for its alchemy skills, would welcome countless powerful monks every day.
Some of them came with their master to admire Linjiang City's elegance. They arrived in Linjiang City two days ago and watched the youth martial arts competition between the two cities, and even watched the alchemist competition yesterday.
Not to mention what they learned, for these fourth-level alchemists, whose ancestors had the highest level of cultivation and alchemy skills but were no more than talented magicians, it was already extremely difficult for them to travel thousands of miles to come to Linjiang City.
Everything they saw in Linjiang City greatly broadened their horizons, let alone those who were still children.
After the Alchemist Competition, they all have a habit of coming to the Alchemist Guild to exchange some valuable medicinal recipes and spiritual materials that they cannot use for the resources they or their children need.
After these are completed, the group of them will embark on their return journey.
There are also those alchemists who are over forty and unable to participate in the competition. Their purpose of coming to Linjiang City is also to watch the alchemist competition and improve their horizons.
Today, most alchemists will come to the Alchemist Guild, so as is customary, an exchange meeting will be held in the guild on the second day after the competition.
This has become an excellent opportunity for these casual alchemists to improve their alchemy skills.
Of course, there are more monks who take advantage of this opportunity to exchange the precious spiritual materials they don't need for the resources they need.
Such people include magicians and martial arts cultivators, and many of them have spent a whole year saving up enough spiritual materials.
I hope that this time I will meet a "good" alchemist who can refine a potion for myself at a reduced cost.
Although the well-known alchemists are very reliable, the fees they charge are almost half of the potion, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
Even if it is acceptable, the expense alone will require a lot of hardships and risks for a long time.
But today, there are many alchemists from all over the world gathered in the Alchemist Guild. Some alchemists’ alchemy skills cannot be underestimated, but because they are not well-known, the fees they charge can be said to be extremely low.
These alchemists can also take advantage of the opportunity of refining potions for others, and by virtue of the opportunity to not only spend money but also receive money, they can improve their alchemy skills while also improving their own reputation.

This is a happy ending for everyone.
It is precisely because of this that the Alchemist Guild today has gathered far more monks than usual, making it the most crowded place in Linjiang City.
Fortunately, the Alchemist Guild in Linjiang City is really big enough!
Under the surging flow of people, Yiran had to keep moving forward towards the guild gate.
I had just stepped into the space formation, and before I had time to take a good look at the vicissitudes of the Alchemist Guild, I heard a clear and smiling voice coming into my ears.
"Brother Yiran, these meat buns are so delicious. Can you lend one to me to try?" The person who spoke was naturally Huang Huang, who always smiled and made people feel like spring breeze.
"White pork buns are not a priceless food." Yiran took a bite of the meat bun and handed the last meat bun wrapped in oil paper to Huang Huang.
Huang Huang's smile did not diminish. After reaching out to take the meat bun, he took a big bite and looked into the distance casually, pretending to be profound and said:
"White pig is just the most common domestic animal, but it is the most expensive meat that many ordinary people can eat."
"I have traveled across the four continents of the empire for nearly two years. I have seen capitals that are far more prosperous than Linjiang City, and I have also seen poor places where there is not enough food to eat and no clothing to cover the body."
"If you say white pork buns are ordinary, they are really ordinary. If you say they are extraordinary, they are really extraordinary. Every bit of what we have should be considered hard-earned."
Yiran looked at Huang Huang's delicate and handsome face and asked curiously: "The subtleties reveal the big things in life. It really impresses me that a genius who comes from a big family can have such insight."
Huang Huang's smile became even brighter after being praised by Yiran.
Then Yiran continued: "What happened yesterday..."
Before Yiran could finish speaking, Huang Huang immediately continued: "Brother Yiran, please don't take what happened yesterday seriously. It's just a trivial matter to deal with three two-star Grand Wuzong assassins."
"Although I am training this time to find opportunities to break through the alchemy technique, fighting is also a matter of ease for me."
Yiran finally had some guesses about Huang Huang's inexplicable enthusiasm, and thought to himself: "It turns out that he wanted to see if he could find an opportunity to make a breakthrough in alchemy with me."
But there is no rejection in my heart towards Huang Huang.
This is the nature of spiritual practice. He was able to remain calm after discovering the opportunity for a breakthrough. He neither used force nor power to overwhelm others, which is enough to show that Huang Huang is a gentle, respectful and thrifty person.
And he has not stated his purpose so far, which shows that he is still hesitant to express his purpose.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that during the competition yesterday, he woke up and found that Huang Huang kept taking out spiritual materials from the space ring and putting them away again. Was he just thinking about using the magic treasure to impress himself?
Putting these thoughts aside, Yiran said to Huang Huang: "After you left yesterday, another assassin appeared."
As soon as he said these words, Huang Huang's face immediately turned cold, and he released a murderous intent, which made the monks around him look sideways and immediately walked away.
Before Huang Huang could ask, Yiran continued: "Later, senior Lu Yao showed up to help me solve the trouble. He also told me that senior Song An left with you and protected you secretly."
With a smile on his face, Yiran joked: "It seems that your combat power is strong enough, and you don't need Senior Song An's help."
After listening to Yiran's words, Huang Huang's murderous intention
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It suddenly dissipated, and I even felt a little lucky in my heart.
He would never have thought that Yiran would encounter a spiritual-level strongman and take action against him. He just thought that he was still careless and did not catch all the assassins hiding in the dark.
Huang Huang would even think about how long it would take for him to find a breakthrough opportunity if Yiran died in yesterday's assassination.
He is only twenty-nine years old this year. Twenty-nine-year-old great magisters may be common, but twenty-nine-year-old fifth-level alchemists are rare.
But his target was that one-of-a-kind, twenty-nine-year-old sixth-level alchemist!
Only in this way can he become a spiritual alchemist at the age of forty.
Putting the last half of the meat bun that was squashed due to nervousness into his mouth, Huang Huang said bitterly: "Damn assassin, it's all because of brother's carelessness that you are left to face danger alone."
"If I hadn't left, it would have been a bit more troublesome, but in the end it wouldn't have been a life-or-death crisis. Fortunately, Senior Lu Yao was here to help. Otherwise, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
At this moment, a slightly majestic voice came from behind Huang Huang: "At a young age, if you say you will have regrets for the rest of your life, then how many regrets will you have in this life!"
Huang Huang was about to retort when he turned around and saw that the person coming was Lu Yao. He immediately clasped his hands in a virtual salute: "Senior Lu Yao!"
Yiran followed closely and saluted Lu Yao: "Thank you, Senior Lu Yao, for saving your life last night!"
Lu Yao looked at the two juniors, nodded with a smile on his eyebrows and said:
"You two little guys are very good. You are good at refining medicine, and you are also good at fighting."
"I heard from Song An that he didn't take any action last night. After you killed two people alone and seriously injured one, you didn't suffer any injuries. If it weren't for the purpose of retaining magic power, it wouldn't be difficult to kill the last person by force."
Upon hearing Lu Yao's praise, Huang Huang bowed respectfully again and said humbly: "Thank you, senior, for your kindness."
For those surging crowds, every moment today is precious. The sooner you enter the guild, the sooner you can find your "opportunity".
When I saw two young people talking and laughing at the gate and not in any hurry to enter the guild, most of them complained in their hearts, "Young people don't know how time flies. Only when everything is over will they regret wasting their time."
But when those people saw a majestic old man walking out of the guild and coming to the side of the two young people to chat with them, they became suspicious.
Feeling the turbulent force coming from the old man, several people who were a little closer discovered that this old man was actually the spiritual man who presided over the alchemist competition yesterday.
Just now, they had criticized the two young people for wasting their time here and not doing anything serious, but this moment made them full of emotions.
These two young people were able to get the spirit master to come. They were definitely not small roles. They were either the younger generation of the spirit master, or they were equal to the spirit master.
If it's the former, it's easy to say, but if it's the latter, they really don't dare to think about it, let alone what they talked about before.
Lu Yao ignored those people's attention and said to Yi Ran and Huang Huang: "Senior Cao Cheng is already waiting for you two little guys. Come with me. I hope you can each gain something today."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yao turned around and walked towards the Alchemist Guild.
As Lu Yao moved forward, the crowded flow of people was directly opened up by the self-released qi machine.
Yiran and Huang Huang looked at each other and followed Lu Yao into the gate of the Alchemist Guild.
