Chapter 46 Gifts to Two Girls, Little Princess Yaoyue in Black Silk Stockings!
He simply handed the huge jade bottle containing the peach blossom fire to Xue Mei and said.

"Well, Xue Mei, the Peach Blossom Fire is given to you. After you go back, take a rest and prepare to refine it!"

"Well, thank you, Ming!" Xue Mei looked straight at the boy, her beautiful eyes full of love.

Lin Fei refused and stomped her cute little feet in black stockings, making sounds like a kitten.

"Ah, Xiao Ming, you are biased. Why did you give Xue Mei such a valuable thing? Where are the others?"

As she spoke, Lin Fei's beautiful eyes were full of sorrow.

Seeing Lin Fei's posture, the boy couldn't help but find it funny. He didn't tease her intentionally, but just gently pinched the girl's nose and smiled.

"Don't worry, you have some too. Let me see if there's any beast fire here. I can get you some!"

"Hehe, that's more like it!" Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Lin Fei smiled contentedly.

Hearing the conversation between the two people, the nearby alchemists were shocked. What the hell, in this day and age, you have to use peach blossom fire to pick up girls? A fourth-grade elixir? This is too outrageous...

No wonder that guy was able to hook up with these two pretty girls, it seems that he is really capable! Everyone began to envy and hate him, why wasn't he such a rich person?

"Hey, this guy is such a spendthrift. How can he spend so much money to pick up a girl?"

"Yeah, he's not afraid that his teacher will get a beating if he finds out..."

Yes, in their opinion, spending a fourth-grade elixir to buy a piece of Peach Blossom Fire for Xue Mei was a completely losing deal.

Didn't you see that in the original novel, Liu Ling was such a dog-licker that he never gave Nalan Yanran any fourth-grade elixir? One reason was that he couldn't do it, and the other was that he felt it was not worth it.

I think this is one of the reasons why Nalan Yanran rejected him (for stacking armor, Liu Ling shouldn’t have given any elixir, right? The author can’t find any record. If there is, just treat it as a second setting)
Afterwards, Xiao Ming took the two girls to continue shopping in the Taobao area in the east. After searching for a while, they only found a Water Spirit Fire, which was produced by the fourth-level magical beast Water Spirit Python. It was the best except for the Peach Blossom Fire.

There is no other choice but to exchange it for this. Fortunately, the transaction conditions are simple. It only requires a few regular third-grade pills.

After buying what they needed, the three of them left and headed to the West District, where they met Otto and Frank, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Otto was also quite surprised to see Xiao Ming and the other two.

"Xiao Ming, long time no see. As expected, you are here too!"

"When did you come?" Frank asked.

"I arrived a long time ago, but I have been staying in the Mittel family for some time!" Xiao Ming also replied with a smile.

"Mittel...it seems like you are very familiar with them!"

"Not bad, right? By the way, tell me the rules of this competition! I want to sign up too!" Xiao Ming changed the subject.

"This competition is actually very simple. Anyone who is a pharmacist can participate, but the registration process is indeed a bit complicated!" Otto explained and continued.

"But don't worry, we can use our identity as the president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild to recommend you to participate in the competition as an internal player. This can save a lot of trouble. It just requires a test, but I think it won't be difficult for you!"

"Of course!"

Sure enough, it was similar to the original book. After understanding this, he exchanged some greetings with Otto and Frank, then left with Lin Fei and Xue Mei.

There were still a few days before the competition started, and it was meaningless to stay here. Most of the people in the Alchemist Guild were old men, and Xiao Ming had no interest in playing with them. A few days later, the Alchemist Competition Prediction Assessment for internal players began, and here, Xiao Ming also met the two seed players in the original book.

The pretty boy Liu Ling, the direct disciple of the Pill King Gu He, is a third-rank alchemist with decent talent, but his dress is a bit flashy, which makes Xiao Ming speechless.

But he didn't care about this guy. After all, Liu Ling's strength was only enough to serve as a stepping stone.

The boy's gaze slowly shifted to another person, a girl wearing a purple dress and with delicate features.

Yaoyue was wearing a purple gown with silver patterns on it. She had an exquisite appearance, luxurious clothes, and a proper smile on her lips. All of these revealed the girl's innate noble temperament, and it seemed that she came from an extraordinary family background.

Yaoyue's slender waist was tied with a purple belt, which showed off her small waist to the fullest. The two slender legs under the skirt were covered with black stockings, which looked very attractive.

She is not very old and looks like a loli, but she can show such charm. I can only say that she has a promising future!

Seeing Yaoyue like this, Xiao Ming said that he just wanted to pick her up and then give her a fierce Crescent Moon Sky Strike.

Princess Yaoyue is still very cute. I can try to collect her later...

Seeing that Xiao Ming was looking at her, Yaoyue smiled slightly and met his gaze. Looking at that unyielding gaze, the girl's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.

This guy actually dared to look at this princess like this, he is really brave, even Liu Ling doesn't dare to do this...

However, Yaoyue didn't care much and quickly went up to say hello.

"You must be Xiao Ming who helped General Nalan to remove the poison successfully. Hello, my name is Yaoyue, and I'm the little princess of the Jiamao Empire. Nice to meet you!"

Xiao Ming held the girl's slender hand and said the same thing.

"Xiao family, Xiao Ming! A third-rank alchemist!"

Yaoyue smiled slyly and said.

"That's not all. I heard you have a strange fire. Can you show it to me later?"

"Indeed, there is, but whether to show it or not depends on the situation!" Xiao Ming shrugged and said lightly.

You can't be too enthusiastic towards this little princess, otherwise she will easily be regarded as a bootlicker, which will be troublesome...

"Oh, so that's the case!" Yaoyue nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild and the person in charge of this prediction, Master Chemir, appeared.

He coughed, asking everyone to shut up, then pointed to the wall on the left side of the hall and said to the curtains, "Ahem, listen to me, behind each curtain, there is a separate small room, and that is where your assessment will take place..."

"Without further ado, I believe that as alchemists, you all know that the extraction of medicinal materials is a very critical step in refining pills, and our test this time is to examine the ability to extract medicinal materials..."

"Within a limited time, you have to extract the purest medicinal materials. This is what you have to do. How about it? It's very simple..."

Chemiel laughed and continued.
