Seeing the look of astonishment on David Jones’s face, the staff member explained with a smile: “That’s Guildmaster Forestdell’s pet. He takes it for a walk around here every morning.”
Upon hearing that, David’s face calmed down, but his emotions continued to surge within him.
Even though it was only a fleeting glance, he had used the Identify Skill to verify the information of the Dark Red Cauldron.
“Pet Name”: Vermilion Cauldron
“Pet Type”: Fire, Wood, Metal
“Species Level”: ???
“Strength Level”: Class VI ~ ???
“Species Skill”: Vermillion Elixir Flame, Essence of Wood, Melt Elixir Body,
Fierce Flame True Gold, Unshakable, King’s Domination.
In Waterland City, pets with the strength reaching the King’s level are few and far between, making them difficult for ordinary people to see.
Unexpectedly he encountered one at the door of the Pharmacist Guild, and it is an extremely rare implement-type pet.
implement-type pets refer to pets that, under the nurturing of Arcane Force such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, and other man-made tools, acquire intelligence due to unpredictable circumstances.
The downside of these pets is that their early-stage spirituality is extremely low, similar to a one-year-old baby. They can only conduct simple communication and tend to fight as per their habits in pet battles, making it challenging for a Trainer to command them.
However, along with their drawbacks come benefits. Items lucky enough to become pets undergo an unusual transformation and enhancement in their essence.
Even rusty swords that even find it difficult to cut through wood can cut through iron like soft mud after their essence has transformed, fitting for an Arcane implement let alone one crafted by diligent a Blacksmith!
Regrettably, even Peony College, famous globally for its Blacksmith Department, can only produce implement-type pets based on luck, making this class of pets rare and pricey.
“The career of a Pharmacist is indeed promising. They have plenty of resources; they can even afford a cauldron-type pet!” David was secretly envious.
Upon entering the Pharmacist Guild, a faint, distant scent of rosewood suddenly wafted over, refreshing David’s senses. Even Rainbow, on his wrist, woke up at the fragrance, her eyes revealing a longing.
“Yi!” (o V )o (There are many good things here!)
Looking at Rainbow’s excited state, David couldn’t but smile helplessly, indicating her to keep quiet so as not to disturb others.
The staff member’s gaze slid over David’s wrist without a trace, a hint of fascination and envy flashed in her eyes, and then handed him an examination application form.
After a while, David finished the formalities smoothly and then entered the Pharmacist theoretical examination room.
In the examination room, apart from him, there was only a gentle woman in a pastel blue dress, who appeared to be the chief examiner of this written exam. After taking a few glances at David, she looked surprised and said straightforwardly, “Sit down and start answering the questions when you’re ready.”
In a quiet study room, a rosewood desk was placed in the center, and four rows of bookshelves occupied the northern end of the table, each fully loaded with all kinds of books and resources.
A spirited middle-aged man sat in front of the desk, holding a book on ‘Elixirs and Herbs.’ Next to his right hand was a dark red cauldron.
“You said you met a fascinating Trainer?”
■■His psychic power is strong, even comparable to a Junior Pharmacist, and he’s only eighteen years old?”
Upon hearing this, Law Forestdell closed the book in his hand, looking at his pet in disbelief.
If he did not know that Vermilion Cauldron would never joke around, he would not even believe this to be possible.
A psychic power comparable to a Junior Pharmacist means that his Arcane Star Cultivation must at least be close to Class IV. This isn’t something unusual. However, adding the premise of being just eighteen makes him a top-grade talent, who would be hard to find even by searching with a lantern in the Flowery Kingdom!
How could such an excellent talent suddenly appear at Waterland City’s Pharmacist Guild, and he hadn’t received even a bit of information?
“Warm reminder: There are twenty minutes left until the end of the test, are you sure you want to submit in advance?’
Seeing the reminder appearing again on the screen, David clicked to confirm without hesitation.
He could now recite the Pharmacist Manual gifted by Rosalind backwards. Although the theory test for the Primary Pharmacist was a bit challenging, it was still within David’s capability.
“Evaluation in progress, please wait a moment.”
A few seconds later, David looked at the full marks displayed on the screen and a notification of test passage. A satisfied smile lit his face.
At this moment, the woman in blue frowned slightly and then stepped forward and said, “Congratulations on passing the theoretical assessment. Please come with me, the next alchemy examination will be conducted by Guildmaster Forestdell.”
“OK.”
Hearing this, David was slightly surprised.
When did the Primary Pharmacist examination fall into the responsibility of the President of the Pharmacist Guild?
This was a bit too exaggerated!
Hiding the doubt in his heart, David followed the woman in blue to a large door.
“This is the test site, you can go in directly.”
“Okay.”
David nodded, opened the big door, and walked in.
The first thing that caught his eye was the dark red Cauldron, nearly one meter in length, followed by the ten cauldrons neatly arranged inside the room, and finally, a handsome middle-aged man.
At this moment, Law Forestdell was looking at the good-looking youth in front of him with interest, his eyes full of appreciation.
He had heard of the gifted Trainer who had won the first prize for Waterland City in the competition, and he did not expect him to also be a Pharmacist. If David could successfully pass the Primary Pharmacist exam today, this terrifying news would surely cause a tide of shock in the Sunbeam Province. This young man might even ignite fierce competition among many powerful forces.
Law Forestdell glanced curiously at the Flood Dragon in David’s hand. Then he took out an elixir formula from the Star Ring and said straightforwardly, “This is the formula for the Starfall Elixir, you pass the examination as long as you can successfully make one furnace.”
Taking the elixir formula flying over from the air, David had a rather strange look on his face.
When practicing at home, he did not expect to have to make Starfall Elixir here in the test site as well.
If he didn’t know that Starfall Elixir, as a Class I S-tier elixir, had a high difficulty in manufacture, he would suspect that the President in front of him was going easy on him.
Law Forestdell raised an eyebrow, David’s reaction was unexpected!
He had specifically chosen the more difficult Starfall Elixir to test this young genius who has a great reputation, but why did it seem that David was actually pleased?
Law Forestdell reminded him, “You can start now.”
Looking at the Alchemy Furnace nearby, David asked, “Can I use my own cauldron?”
“Of course, you can.” Law Forestdell answered with a smile.
While the Pharmacist Guild had prepared cauldrons for the students, test takers were also allowed to use their own cauldrons. They just had to be inspected by the examiner before use.
With his mighty psychic power at the King level, even if there were any issues with David’s own cauldron, he would be able to easily detect them..
