I Can Extract Everything

Then he coughed awkwardly as soon as he realized that he had just lost his composure.

"I'm from the alchemist clan, a member of the Yun Clan. My name is Yun Qiu." Yun Qiu proudly said.

"One of the Five Guardian Clans, Yun Clan?" Qin Yi was slightly surprised.

The name of the Five Guardian Clans is like thunder reverberating in Qin Yi's ears. He had been curious about them for a long time and was looking forward to meeting them.

They must be rich and talented.

"It seems like you are not living under a rock. That's right; my Yun Clan is one of the Five Guardian Clans. We are also famous for being the richest clan in this city, and we are also in the top ten the richest clan in this region."

"My Yun Clan is rich because we are an alchemist clan. As the biggest alchemist clan in this city, we have a Spirit Alchemist, three Grand Master Alchemists, eight Master Alchemists, and over twenty Appretince Alchemists. This year we have three other people, including myself, take the Apprentice Alchemist Exam."

"This is my first time taking the Apprentice Alchemist Exam, but I'm sure that I can pass in one try. After all, I'm an alchemy genius..."

While Yun Qiu was showing off the might of his clan in front of someone he barely met, Qin Yi, on the other hand, had already given the system an extraction order.

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 11 Cultivation Points]

[Obtained 18 Spiritual Minds]

'18? Doesn't that mean this person's Spiritual Mind has already reached 90?'

Qin Yi discovered that this Yun Qiu was very young, probably around twenty years old.

Yet, his cultivation base had already reached the Eight Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

There were two possibilities for Yun Qiu to attain this achievement at this age: either he had high-grade aptitude or consumed many resources such as godly heaven and earth materials and pills.

Qin Yi wished for the previous one rather than later because he could get Yun Qiu's aptitude if it were true.

Putting aside Yun Qiu's martial aptitude, his talent in the Secondary Profession is truly something else...

[Obtained 510,000 spirit stones. Grade: low-grade]

510,000?!

Qin Yi's eyes bulged out of his eye socket.

How did a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator manage to collect that much money?

Don't tell me this is his pocket money?

Damn you, second rich generation!

Even Qin Yi needed to work hard for three whole months to accumulate that much money.

Don't think having an extraction system is easy. In order to perform the extraction, he needs to walk around for hours, stalking people, and sometimes he receives unpleasant looks from his fellow disciples.

Qin Yi even earned the nickname "Stalker" in the martial arts ground because he likes to follow other disciples before starting to train.

However, this Yun Qiu guy...

(◔_◔)

Nevermind...

He must be a descendant of a direct line or something—That's why he can get that much money.

[Obtained Seven Stars Cauldron. Grade: Spirit Artifact.]

Qin Yi took a peek at this cauldron in the storage system and found it was far better than his Snake Swallowing Cauldron.

Well, his Snake Swallowing Cauldron is only Normal Artifact, after all.

[Obtained a cultivation technique "Mysterious Cloud Refinement Secret Art. Grade: Heaven.]

[Obtained a martial skill "Vermillion Bird Flame Arts". Grade: Heaven.]

[Obtained a movement skill "Cloud Beckoning Art". Grade: Earth.]

Qin Yi sucks in a cold breath.

That Yun Clan was one of the Guardian Clans after all. They are not only rich in resources but also background.

It's really a great thing doing extraction on this Young Master Yun.

He could get a lot of good stuff in one extraction.

'This guy is bloody rich and resourceful. I should befriend him for the sake of my career and my wallet.' Qin Yi thought.

Apart from that, he also obtained many other things such as pills, heaven and earth materials, alchemy books, martial arts, and some artifacts under Spirit Artifacts.

However, he didn't get high-grade aptitude. This could only mean that Yun Qiu's aptitude was the same as Qin Yi's.

It seems like this guy really relies on pills to increase his cultivation base.

Qin Yi heard that this was also the case in most Alchemists. They depended on pills to cultivate because they spent a lot of time practicing alchemy.

However, Qin Yi had little knowledge about them. So, he didn't know how they deal with the accumulation of impurities within their bodies.

It was quite unlikely that they would meditate under a waterfall since their physic averages were pretty much weaker than ordinary cultivators.

Maybe they have some kind of special technique or pill to clean impurities in their bodies.

Either way, Qin Yi will find out later after he joins the Alchemist circle.

Qin Yi's face brightened as he responded to Yun Qiu's self-introduction.

"Amazing, so you are from the Yun Clan. Let me introduce myself; I am Qin Yi, an outer sect disciple of the Sleeping Dragon Sect. This is also my first time taking this exam. A pleasure to meet you, Young Master Yun."

"O-h, um." Yun Qiu is a bit taken aback by the sudden change of Qin Yi's expression.

"I believe that a descendant of an alchemy family like you can easily pass this test. Therefore, I look forward to our future cooperation as fellow Alchemists." Qin Yi added.

"Well said! This exam is just a stepping stone for me to become the greatest Alchemist of the Yun Clan." Yun Qiu proudly braced his chest.

Then he looked at Qin Yi and said, "You have great foresight and a character I like. Therefore, if you have any problems in the future, you may mention my great name— wait, you just said, "as a fellow Alchemist"? You're saying as if you'll certainly pass this exam. I'm just telling you, no one other than me can be able to pass this test on the first try—"

However, before Yun Qiu managed to finish his sentence, the three Alchemy Masters finally arrived on the podium. They looked to be around fifty to sixty years old. Though, no one knows how old they really are.

They sat on the chairs and tables that had been prepared. There is also a stack of paper and a sheep's horn pen sitting on the table.

The three Master Alchemists looked at each other and then nodded.

"Listen, everyone. There are five thousand papers here. On each piece, there is all sorts of alchemy questions. You will receive twenty papers at random, and your task here is to write the answers to the questions on those papers. You have to take a total of twenty papers and finish them within two hours. Only if the correct rate is over 90% can you go into the next round." One of the Master Alchemists instructed and continued.

"Any questions? If there aren't any, you may come forward one by one to get your papers!"

Since the examinees raise no questions, the exam process quickly.

Everyone started to come forward one by one. Soon Qin Yi's turn also arrived.

He randomly picked twenty papers on the table and said, "Honourable Masters, I'll pick these..."

The Master Alchemist saw Qin Yi's clear eyes. He nodded and said, "Mn, you only have two hours, make good use of that time!"

"Yes."

Qin Yi returned to his original seat.

Before long, one of the Alchemist Masters said in a loud voice.

"Alright, you people have taken your pages. Therefore, the exam may start from now on!"

After the Master Alchemist announced that everyone, including Qin Yi, picked up their horn pens. 

Qin Yi's gaze swept across the questions on those papers. After a while, his eyebrows rose slightly.

No wonder this written exam had an elimination percentage of over 90%; those questions weren't questions that a newbie at Xue Chan's level could easily answer.

But fortunately, the questions were still within the range of the knowledge that Qin Yi had studied and memorized.

Qin Yi's understanding of alchemy has long surpassed the realm of ordinary newbies!

With his cheats having unlimited time in the storage system, he could read countless books related to alchemy at any time. Even now, he could read it if he wished.

It might be cheating, but as long as he doesn't get caught, everything is legal.

Of course, he will stay honest as far as possible.

With that thought, Qin Yi started moving his pen across the blank paper.

The first question was very easy for him. It was about the correct procedure for concocting the Qi Strengthening Pill.

As a person who could effortlessly concoct several Qi Strengthening Pills with a purity level of over 65%, Qin Yi could easily answer this question.

The second question was about the uses of Spirit Grass.

Qin Yi kept reading and answering.

Scribble scribble...

Two hours later...

"Alright, everyone, time is up. Collect your exam papers now!" The Master Alchemist shouted.

The examinees did not dare to go against the Master Alchemist's instructions. However, Qin Yi could see their sour faces as if they were screwed up in this exam.

"Damn it, just two more questions..."

"A—h if only I learned that part before..."

"I wonder if any of my answers are correct..."

"Damn it, if only I answered the easy questions first..."

"I should have already learned about that question, but I suddenly got amnesia..."

"Maybe I can bribe these Master Alchemists. My father is the Patriarch of the Cai Clan; they should already know that..."

Qin Yi, who observed them, could do nothing but listen.

Even though their mouths were full of complaints, Qin Yi could understand their frustration.

After all, this exam was indeed a little difficult for people of their level.

Qin Yi slightly turned his head towards Yun Qiu, who was sitting two meters besides him. There was not the slightest change in his face.. It seemed he was very confident in his answers.
