C417 Guo Yun
Article 417. Guo Yun
Although becoming a member of the Hall of Pharmacist was definitely much more glorious than becoming a cultivator of the same realm, if a figure of the Hall of Pharmacist appeared in any dynasty... Even an ordinary member of the family would make the entire family and dynasty look at him in a new light. He would be like a dog that had ascended to the heavens!
However, it was difficult. In the Saint Origin universe, everyone focused on cultivation. The main reason was that they didn't need any foundation. It could be said that everyone had the foundation to cultivate the boundary force. Moreover, they didn't need to spend a lot of resources.
Of course, as one's cultivation level rose, the resources that one needed would be magnified at the same time. However, at that time, as long as one could cultivate successfully, they would be able to obtain the support of other powers, such as dynasties and sects.
However, alchemy was much more difficult. Not only did they need professional pharmacists to guide them, but the amount and quality of resources that they would need were not something that cultivators of the same cultivation level could compare with.
Hence, the number of people who were willing to concoct pills in Saint Origin universe became fewer and fewer. They would rather cultivate the boundary force. Compared to spiritual force cultivators, the latter was too difficult. Refining pills required a lot of resources. Of course, it was also because they did not have the ability to protect themselves.
Only after reaching a certain level, alchemist would be able to get various kinds of financial aid. With the help of connections, if it was only at the beginning stage... Not to mention protecting the family and friends behind her... Even if it was to protect him, he wouldn't have the qualifications to do so.
This had created a huge problem for Guo Yun's job. He had come to several neighboring dynasties and found that the trend was getting more and more intense, and he really had no good ideas.
He had no choice but to put Fang Yue, who was already eighty years old, on the Hall of Pharmacist's substitute list. As long as Fang Yue could break through to a three-star alchemist in a short period of time after the test, he would recommend her to the list.
Age was a very important condition for the Hall of Pharmacist. Originally, it was restricted to below fifty years old. Later on, because he discovered that there were late bloomers, he made amendments and relaxed his age. However, those above the age of eighty had obviously exceeded this limit.
In the Hall of Pharmacist, there was another additional rule. If the deacon who went to investigate found out that there was indeed a talent, he could decide on his own. However, this required a certain amount of risk, so he could not act recklessly.
"If Fang Yue meets the requirements after the test, then there will only be 11. If such a number were to be handed over to the Hall of Pharmacist, the quality would not be high either. At that time, the elder would definitely lose his temper!" Guo Yun was worried in his heart, "Sigh, it would be great if a peerless genius appeared. This way, I would be able to report to the higher-ups and have the chance to be promoted to a supervisor. But in a dynasty like Great Qian, isn't this a joke?"
After he came to Da Qian, apart from Fang Yue, he also tested everyone else. Originally, he had also expected this and knew that there wouldn't be any surprises.
The result was just as he had expected. Indeed, nothing unexpected had happened. This made him secretly shake his head.
It was no wonder that Da Qian's status was not high. Although it had something to do with the time he had built his dynasty, the most important thing was that the spiritual energy in this place was poor. Without the spiritual energy, the strength of cultivators in the dynasty would not be too high. There was a limit to it.
Without the Wutong tree, they would not be able to attract the Golden Phoenix and lack the existence of innate spiritual energy. This would cause the chances of any kind of genius cultivator appearing to be low. This was a very normal situation.
It seemed that Fang Yue was the only one who could become his hope. If Fang Yue could not even reach the standards of a 3-star alchemist, then... There was no need for the following tests. When he returned, he was destined to be scolded by the elders of the Hall of Pharmacist.
So annoying! Guo Yun could not help but feel depressed in his heart, even though he was still holding a teacup and drinking tea on the surface. In the Hall of Pharmacist, although it was an ordinary role, in the Pharmacist Association of his subordinates... That was absolutely a high and mighty existence, and he couldn't afford to lose his manners.
However, why did Fang Yue go there for so long? I can't always wait here. Guo Yun was also surprised in his heart.
He thought to himself that Fang Yue was not the kind of person who did not know the severity of the matter. How could she not return after leaving?
At this moment, light footsteps came from outside the door. Without needing to look at Guo Yun, he knew that it would only be Fang Yue who came back.
"Fang Yue, you came back at the right time. Now we will..." Before Guo Yun could finish his words, Fang Yue said awkwardly, "Mr. Guo, I wonder if you can come to my Great Qian Gold Palace."
Guo Yun's face darkened. "Fang Yue, don't you know the rules of my Hall of Pharmacist? The deacon sent by the Hall of Pharmacist cannot have any relationship with any dynasty, otherwise it will be against the rules."
There was indeed such a rule. The Hall of Pharmacist was very strict, and this was also to ensure that the Hall of Pharmacist was clean.
If those deacons privately contacted the emperors and royal families of those dynasties, they would definitely be bribed and other shady matters. At that time, how could they guarantee the fairness of the Hall of Pharmacist?
The Hall of Pharmacist naturally knew that even if these unqualified alchemist were sent back after being sent into the Hall of Pharmacist, she would still be sent back. However, this would have a huge improvement to the dynasty that they belonged to. This meant that this person had met the basic requirements of the Hall of Pharmacist. This was already an amazing result.
As for the Hall of Pharmacist, not only did it require a lot of effort and resources, it would also cause its reputation to be negatively affected. This was the reason why this rule had appeared.
Fang Yue's face could not help but freeze. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, please calm down. I, Fang Yue, am not an unreasonable person. The main reason is that when I went to see the Second Prince of Great Qian just now, I encountered a strange matter."
Fang Yue told him about her meeting with Long Xiaotian, then she said to Guo Yun, "Mr. Guo, you can't go there yourself if you don't want to. I wonder if you can determine whether this is the pill formula or not? As long as you tell me the result, it will be fine. "
Fang Yue originally wanted to let Guo Yun personally go, but when she thought about the strict rules of the Hall of Pharmacist, it seemed like Guo Yun was still very obedient.
Of course, she had to abide by it. The other party was different from her. She was still working hard to enter the Hall of Pharmacist, and the other party was a deacon of the Hall of Pharmacist. This was something that countless alchemists would never be able to achieve even if they spent their entire lives trying.2
If it was for this little mistake, she obviously wouldn't have received any benefits. However, if the Hall of Pharmacist found out about it, it would chase Guo Yun out of the Hall of Pharmacist. That would ruin Guo Yun's future, so he couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
However, if Guo Yun didn't go, he could still relay the message. Although what he said wasn't a big deal in front of Guo Yun, it was still a nail in the head in front of those people of Great Qian!
He didn't hear Guo Yun's reply for a long time, but he saw a cold smile on Guo Yun's face. He couldn't help but think of Fang Yue in a different way.
