The instant Grand Master Du announced the results, Yun Hong was devastated.

As a descendant of the alchemist clan, Yun Hong had pride and confidence as tall as the sky. Even though he was not comparable to Yun Qiu, he would not be thrown far from Yun Qiu.

Therefore, he boldly chose to concoct a Body Strengthening Pill for the sake of impressing everyone here.

However, the reality is not as beautiful as expected.

As a result, he blew up his cauldron four times and only succeeded in making the Body Strengthening Pill at the fifth attempt. Furthermore, its purity level couldn\'t even reach the standard of this exam.

Qin Yi confusedly tilted his head and said, "He could easily make a Qi Strengthening Pill. Why would he choose the hardest pill instead?"

"... That\'s what happens when someone with mediocre skills overestimates themselves." Yun Qiu looked at Yun Hong with no emotion in his eyes.

Even though they both came from the same clan, he regards no pity toward Yun Hong.

The Yun Clan was a large clan. Relationships between clan members are highly competitive, and sometimes power and profit are more important than their blood relationship.

Yun Hong doing this kind of thing probably wanted to prove that her talent in alchemy was no less than Yun Qiu\'s, especially when he had the chance to prove it before his clan elder, Yun Changhai.

Unfortunately, he was overestimating himself.

Worse yet, Yun Changhai didn\'t look as disappointed in Yun Hong like he had no expectation in Yun Hong in the first place.

In the end, only four people managed to pass this last round of exams.

Liang Yang, Qin Yi, Yun Qiu, and He Ya lined up straight with excited smiles on their faces. YouYun Chanhai\'s gaze swept across the young people in front of him. His face contained a pleasant smile as he said.

"All of you have proven yourselves to us through your knowledge and alchemy skills. From the trials you have gone through, we can see not only your innate talent but also how much effort you put in to reach this stage..."

"Therefore, we have nothing to say but proud of all of you. As seniors from the Secondary Professional Association and the exam judges, we once again congratulate you all. From now on, you are officially an Apprentice Alchemist of the Secondary Professional Association!"

***

Gao Peng was standing waiting in front of the Secondary Professional Association gate.

He heard from others that the Secondary Professional Apprentice Exam was almost over. Therefore, he had come here early and now he had been waiting for nearly thirty minutes.

Gao Peng had promised Qin Yi a treat regardless of Qin Yi passing or failing this test.

However, despite knowing that Qin Yi is a genius in alchemy, Gao Peng was truthfully not confident that his friend would pass his first exam. After all, he heard that the Apprentice Alchemist Exam was more complex than the other Secondary Profession exams.

However, it doesn\'t matter.

In his eyes, Qin Yi was a young and talented Alchemist. Even if he failed now, he would definitely make it in the following year.

In this regard, Gao Peng is very confident.

As he continued to wait patiently in front of the Secondary Profession Association gate, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking past him.

From the way, he was dressed and the unique scent emitting from his body, Gao Peng could tell that this person was an Alchemist. In addition, the three-star Alchemist badge on his chest, which indicated that he was a Grand Master Alchemist.

Then Gao Peng saw a man with a long hat hastily approaching Grand Master Lu Ping from the inside building and said distressingly, "Grand Master Lu Ping, where have you been? We\'ve been waiting for you since morning, and you only came now? Even the sun is tired of waiting for you!"

"..." Grand Master Lu Ping\'s face was troubled as he replied curtly, "I forgot."

"You forgot?" The long-hat man hat shrieked and said, "Unless you have early dementia, there\'s no way you can forget such an important event!"

Grand Master Lu Ping was pissed off. He said offhandedly, "I completely forgot. Moreover, the exam looked fine even without me attending."

The long-hat man rolled his eyes as he sighed and said, "That\'s of course because Grand Master Du has covered up your duty. Don\'t you have compassion for Grand Master Du? He\'s old. Too much work will burden his old body."

"Old?" Grand Master Lu Ping smirked as if he had just heard a lost joke.

"That\'s old thing is only 200 years old. His life is far from reaching the grave as his bones are still as hard as steel. There\'s no way that little work can tire him out."

The long-hat man looked at Grand Master Lu Ping and sighed again, "You are forgetful and have no respect for elders. That\'s why no women are willing to date you..."

Hearing this, Grand Master Lu Ping\'s face immediately turned green.

Suddenly the long-hat man looked left and right. Without caring  Grand Master Lu Ping\'s expression, he nudged Grand Master Lu Ping\'s shoulder and said teasingly, "I heard you got rejected by Master Yurong last night. Is that the reason you\'re late? No wonder I see your eyes are slightly swollen. Come on. Don\'t be sad. I will introduce you to another woman next time..."

Gao Peng, who listened to their conversation from afar, suddenly saw Grand Master Lu Ping beating the long-hat man mercilessly in front of people.

"..."

He was speechless at this sight.

\'Is that famous Loser Alchemist?\'

Gao Peng had long heard of Grand Master Lu Ping\'s reputation. He had heard that this guy fell in love with women very easily. However, every time he confessed, women always turned him down.

He\'s a genius in alchemy but sucks in romance. 

Typically with Grand Master Lu Ping\'s background, status and power, it was very easy for him to get a woman. He was even able to build his harem with these.

However, every woman he flirts with always turned him down for some unknown reason.

That\'s really weird.

Before long, Gao Peng finally saw Qin Yi\'s figure. However, his appearance looked decadent as he walked over to him.

He looks sad. 

It\'s probably about his exam results. 

Maybe he failed...

"Brother Gao…" Qin Yi weakly called out his friend\'s name.

"My brother. Don\'t be sad-"

Gao Peng immediately approached him and was about to comfort him. However, his eyes accidentally caught a starry badge on Qin Yi\'s right chest.

"That badge..."

"Oh, this? This is a badge I got after successfully passing this Apprentice Alchemist Exam." Qin Yi happily explained.

"..." Gao Peng cautiously asked, "So you passed your first test?"

"Yeah, isn\'t that obvious?" Qin Yi replied in surprise as if he was just a matter of fact.

Gao Peng speechlessly looked at Qin Yi and asked again, "Then why did you look decadent just now?"

"Oh, that, it\'s because I\'m starving. Guess, how long you think I\'ve been stuck in this exam? It\'s ten freaking hours! And I haven\'t eaten since yesterday because I was too busy honing my alchemy skills. As a result, after this exam is over, hunger comes." Qin Yi explained with a pitiful expression, his hand rubbing his empty stomach.

"..."

Gao Peng smacked his face with his palms.

He initially thought that Qin Yi looked sad because he failed, but it turned out to be because he was just hungry.

Gao Peng sighed and said, "Let\'s go Immortal Phoenix House. I\'ll treat you to a meal there!"

"Immortal Phoenix House?!" Qin Yi exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Gao, isn\'t the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant too much? I think I\'ll be fine if you just treat me in an ordinary restaurant..."

"Don\'t worry about this. The son of the Immortal Phoenix House owner is a friend of mine. He promised me a free meal whenever I visited there. I told him beforehand that I would be taking my friend there, and he said he\'s fine with it."

Qin Yi was in awe after listening to this. Nobody could explain what he was feeling right now.

The guy in front of him is known as "Man of a Thousand Friends", and he\'s literally lived up to his reputation as he has lots of friends, and all of them come from different backgrounds.

Some other day, Gao Peng told Qin Yi that he had a friend who was a disciple of an elder in a sect. Because of that, no one in the outer sect dared to provoke him.

Last time, Gao Peng told Qin Yi that he had just made a friendship with a direct descendant of a Spirit Talisman Maker. Because of that, he gets a lot of discounts every time he buys talismans.

And now informs Qin Yi that the son of the owner of the Immortal Phoenix House is his friend, and he got a free meal at the Immortal Phoenix House.

Sometimes Qin Yi wonders whether Gao Peng has a special bloodline or physique that can attract people of strong backgrounds to befriend him.

However, he found no such thing every time Gao Peng was extracted.

There are many mysterious things in this world, and Gao Peng\'s talent for making friends is one of them.
