Chapter 49 End, Honorary Elder

When everyone heard Fa Ma's words, a look of horror flashed across their eyes, and then their eyes flashed in different ways.

"Old Fa Ma, you are really willing to make such a big investment that you even gave up your position as the guild president."

Jia Xingtian frowned, feeling a little unsure for a moment.

Originally, he also wanted to recruit Xiao Yu into the royal family. After all, any force would be tempted by a sixth-grade alchemist.

The Yunlan Sect already has an ancient river. If the Jia Ma royal family also has an alchemist who is not inferior to Gu He, it will be of great help to the royal family in checking and balancing the Yunlan Sect.

However, Fa Ma's words completely disrupted his plans.

He couldn't offer any better bargaining chip than Fa Ma to recruit Xiao Yu. It was impossible for him to let Xiao Yu become the emperor of the Gama Empire.

But if it weren't for this, everything else would pale in comparison to that of the Alchemist Guild's president.

"Alas~ This old man Fa Ma is really decisive. Forget it. Even if we can't recruit him, as long as he doesn't go to Yunlan Sect, it's fine."

Jia Xingtian sighed in his heart and no longer thought about recruiting people.

Yun Yun and Gu He also frowned. After all, the only ones who had the strength to compete with them were the royal family and the Alchemist Guild.
As for the Mu family, the Nalan family and the Mitre family, they are totally not good enough.

Now that Fa Ma suddenly took out this bombshell, the two of them were really in a panic.

The two came here to see if the news that someone was taking the sixth-grade assessment was true.

Second, if there is someone who can really refine a sixth-grade elixir, we will do our best to win over the other party.

Now that Fa Ma has done this, the hope of winning over Xiao Yu is very slim.

"It seems that today, the Alchemist Guild will have one more sixth-rank alchemist in charge."

Everyone thought so, because they really couldn't think of anyone who could refuse such an invitation. The Alchemist Guild was a top force that could stand on equal footing with the royal family and the Yunlan Sect. Becoming the president was equivalent to possessing the highest power in the Gama Empire.

But to their surprise, Xiao Yu actually shook his head.

After hearing what Fa Ma said, Xiao Yu shook his head decisively to refuse, and said apologetically: "Thank you for your kindness, Pharaoh, but I have been traveling freely for so many years and I am used to freedom. I don't want to join any forces."

"Especially for someone like the president. When I think about being the president and having to deal with so many trivial matters, my head hurts."

"I can only let down Pharaoh's kindness."

Xiao Yu politely declined Fa Ma's kindness. Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Fa Ma was even stunned for a moment.

He never expected that Xiao Yu would reject his kindness. The position of the president of the Alchemist Guild was such a temptation that not everyone could refuse.

But if you think about it, this person was able to hold back until he had the ability to refine sixth-grade elixirs before taking part in the assessment, so he is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

"Alas~ In that case, I won't force you."

Sighing, Fa Ma said regretfully
Then he changed the subject and said, "Since Brother Zhou doesn't want to be the president, how about coming to the guild to be an honorary elder?"

Perhaps fearing that Xiao Yu would refuse again, Fa Ma hurriedly continued, "Brother Zhou, please listen to what I have to say. Honorary elders are different from other positions. They are just a temporary position in the guild and will not restrict Brother Zhou's freedom. Elder Gu He is also an honorary elder of the guild. Didn't he also become an elder of the Yunlan Sect?"

"Moreover, if you are listed as an honorary elder of the guild, the guild can help you find medicinal herbs, and you can also enjoy a 20% discount on the cost when you purchase medicinal herbs from the guild."

"Brother Zhou has already rejected me once, so you can't reject me again this time."

Looking at the smile on Mr. Fa Ma's face, Xiao Yu was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement.

It is not impossible to be an honorary elder. It will be convenient for finding medicinal materials in the future, and it will not restrict your freedom.

"In this case, Zhou thanks Pharaoh."

Seeing that Xiao Yu had agreed, the smile on Fa Ma's face deepened.

"Okay, okay, I will present Elder Zhou with the alchemist badge and uniform right away."

When everyone saw that Xiao Yu agreed to be honored as the honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, their eyes moved slightly. It seemed that Xiao Yu's refusal to take the position of president made them think of recruiting him again.

Fa Ma took out the sixth-grade badge and alchemist uniform that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took the badge and robe, but he didn't plan to change his clothes.
After all, this white robe of his is a great treasure. It is impervious to water and fire, dust-resistant, warm in winter and cool in summer, has strong defensive power, and can repair itself automatically. It is much better than the alchemist's robe.

But this dress has been seen by so many people from the Gama Empire, so when he appears in his own identity in the future, he cannot wear this white dress anymore.

It just so happened that this alchemist robe could be used and worn. The alchemist robe that Fa Ma gave was a white one, which was obviously specially prepared because he saw Xiao Yu in white. Then he asked Fa Ma for a third-grade alchemist badge for his original identity, and the matter was completed.

Considering Fa Ma's attitude towards the alchemist named Zhou, it should not be difficult for him to ask for a third-grade badge for his apprentice.

"Thank you, Pharaoh."

After Xiao Yu put the things into the ring, he bowed to Fa Ma and thanked him.

"Since Mr. Zhou has become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, I'm sure you, old man Fa Ma, won't be stingy with a banquet to celebrate for Mr. Zhou, right?"

Jia Xingtian stroked his beard and smiled.

Fa Ma stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course. Three days later, I will hold a banquet in the guild to celebrate Elder Zhou. You all must come and participate."

Everyone said, "We will definitely come."

Xiao Yu was confused. Congratulating me? Then you should ask for my opinion, don't make a decision on your own.

Jia Xingtian nodded, then bowed to Xiao Yu and said, "Elder Zhou, that's it for today. I've been away for a long time and have many things to deal with. I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back in three days."

"Yes, Elder Zhou, I won't bother you today. I'll come back to bother you during the banquet."

The three leaders bowed and said goodbye.

Seeing that things had come to this, Xiao Yu could only helplessly say: "In this case, I won't keep you all any longer. I will definitely drink with you all in the future."

Jia Xingtian and the three families left one after another.

Yun Yun also cupped her hands, opened her lips slightly, and said, "Elder Zhou, we won't bother you anymore. I have many matters to deal with in the Yunlan Sect, so I'll leave first."

Gu He smiled and said, "When I have time, I must discuss the experience of refining medicine with Elder Zhou. I will leave first today."

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Of course, it is an honor to discuss alchemy with Elder Gu He."

After the two left, Fa Ma and Xiao Yu were the only ones left in the huge assessment hall.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Yu said to Fa Ma, "Pharaoh, can I have an extra third-grade alchemist badge?"

After hearing this, Fa Ma asked in confusion: "Brother Zhou is already a sixth-rank alchemist, what does he need a third-rank alchemist badge for?"

"If you want to hide your incompetence, then there is no need to do so. The status of a sixth-rank alchemist is noble and can bring many benefits. There is no need to hide it."

Fa Ma thought that Xiao Yu wanted a third-grade badge just to hide his shortcomings. After all, this guy had reached the sixth grade before taking the exam, so hiding his shortcomings was not a strange thing for him.

Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled, "Pharaoh misunderstood. I asked for it for my only disciple. He has been able to refine third-grade elixirs recently."

"But this kid used to live alone, likes quietness, and is afraid of trouble. He has the same personality as me, so he did not participate in the alchemist assessment."

"I was thinking about whether I could ask for an alchemist badge for him. It would be convenient for this kid to go out in the future."

"Of course, I guarantee with my own reputation that the boy does have the strength of a third-grade elixir."

"Pharaoh, may I ask?"

After hearing the reason, Fa Ma laughed and said, "Haha, of course you can. With Brother Zhou's ability, it's more than enough to train a third-grade alchemist."

"A third-grade badge is not a big deal. I will give it to you later."

Xiao Yu smiled and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Pharaoh. When I have time another day, I will definitely ask that kid to come over and thank Pharaoh in person."

Fa Ma waved his hand to show that he didn't care. A third-grade badge was a trivial matter for him as the president.

He was not worried that Xiao Yu would cheat him. A sixth-grade alchemist would not cheat himself for a third-grade badge.

Moreover, since he can become Xiao Yu's only disciple, his talent must be quite strong, and he may be able to rival younger generations like Liu Ling.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to lower his face and ask for it from me.

If Xiao Yu knew what Fa Ma was thinking, he would definitely be in tears and laughter, because he really didn't think so.

He asked for the third-grade badge simply for the convenience of his original identity, and he was too lazy to take the assessment again under Xiao Yu's identity.
