Chapter 924: Canst Refine It? (1/2)

The carriage Wangu Yanhui rented was fast, hence, their group reached the Alchemist Grandmaster Union headquarters in a little over three hours.

In fact, their headquarters was more like a small city, formed by a cluster of both tall and low buildings. The number of halls was akin to mushrooms in a forest after the rain.

Alighted from the carriages, Huang Xiaolong, Wangu Yanhui, Wangu Ye, and the other Wangu Clan disciples strode towards the main entrance, stepping inside.

The main hall was undoubtedly built and decorated in a grand manner, yet at this moment it was crowded with people. Looking around, Huang Xiaolong saw an array of disciples in robes of various styles and colors, hailing from the numerous galaxies’ families and sects. There were so many people in the main hall that one could hardly find room to maneuver.

Since Wangu Ye’s group already had official Alchemist positions, they were here to register for the grand competition which was different from the location where Huang Xiaolong was going for the assessment. Thus, Huang Xiaolong separated from the Wangu Clan disciples, going on his own.

When he reached the assessment registration side hall, he was met with two queues as long as two dragons, with several hundred people in each of them.

Huang Xiaolong frowned. Lining up and waiting for these people to complete their assessments one by one, it still won’t be his turn after a month of waiting.

“Brother, you’re also here to take the trial to become an Alchemist, right?” At this time, a certain family disciple approached and spoke to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong looked oddly at this person, but answered “That’s right.”

“How about it, my brother is now lined up at the thirty-second spot in this queue, do you want it? I can sell the spot to you.” The family disciple stated his intention.

Selling spots?

Huang Xiaolong was surprised, then immediately understood. These disciples were basically standing here to make the queue longer, having nothing better to do, then selling their spots to people who really came to take the assessment.

However, this was an unexpected good surprise to Huang Xiaolong. He was just troubled by this matter.

“Do you have any spots closer to the front?” Huang Xiaolong asked the question he wanted to know most.

The family disciple gave Huang Xiaolong a glance over, then chuckled with a mischievous glint in his eyes, “There are some spots closer. One is at the fifth spot, another one is at the sixteenth spot, and there's also one at twenty-third, which one is this brother interested in buying? You should know; the further up front, the higher the price.”

Huang Xiaolong was deadpan, “How much is the fifth spot?”

The family disciple raised one finger: “One top divine grade spirit stone.”

One top divine grade spirit stone was roughly eighty million.

One spot was selling for eighty million!

But Huang Xiaolong’s brows didn’t even wrinkle, and was too lazy to bargain. He directly threw a top divine grade spirit stone at that disciple.

The man looked dazedly at the top divine grade spirit stone in his hands, but in the next second his face turned red from ecstasy as he fawningly led Huang Xiaolong over to the fifth spot in the queue, having the disciple who was standing there give out his place to Huang Xiaolong.

Even though this scene was witnessed by more than a few Alchemist Grandmaster Union’s disciplinary hall disciples, no one did anything to stop them.

Clearly, since these people dared to do this, they had already ‘communicated’ with these disciplinary hall disciples beforehand.

Thanks to being in the fifth spot, it didn’t take long for Huang Xiaolong’s turn to arrive.

However, when he spoke his name, the eyes of the person in charge of his registration, Alchemist Li Jiang, seemed to light up, asking, “You’re that Highgod Advancement Tournament champion, Huang Xiaolong?”

Huang Xiaolong frowned hearing this. “That is so.”

“What?! The first place winner of the Highgod Advancement Tournament, Huang Xiaolong!”
