"This Spirit-Nurturing Dust is really a good thing." Xiao Yan tightened his fists and felt the improvement of Soul Power.
It's just that Xiao Yan himself doesn't know that that small wisp of Spirit-Nurturing Dust, even in ancient times, was worth more than a dozen people and was very expensive. Moreover, the real function of this Spirit-Nurturing Dust is to give Mortal Realm Great Perfection's alchemist a secret treasure to break through the Spirit Realm.
Xiao Yan himself used the weight of more than a dozen people. Fortunately, he was Spirit Realm Soul, otherwise his soul would have been sucked out.
With a sigh, Xiao Yan pushed the door open and walked out. He also knew that he would help Ye Family with the assessment today.
Although this Ye Family has declined, for the Flame Alliance, this Ye Family's ability to refine medicine is still indispensable. Now there are only two alchemists in the Flame Alliance, him and Yue Er, and some low-level Medicinal Pill do need people to refine them in large quantities.
With a bang, the moment Xiao Yan opened the door, the soul of Ye Zhong waiting outside the door trembled, and he subconsciously bowed his head!
"Ye Zhong Great Elder is a great courtesy." Xiao Yan waved his hand, indicating that he was not used to this.
Ye Zhong suddenly woke up, showed a smile and said, "Master Xiao Yan, today is the day of the assessment."
"Well, lead the way." Xiao Yan waved his hand. This assessment was just a formality. Now Soul Power has reached Spirit Realm Middle Stage. Even if Dan Family and Cao Family send out the strongest younger generation, Xiao Yan is confident that he can defeat them.
When Xiao Yan followed Ye Zhong to the extremely vast and seemingly majestic assessment hall, they found that the place was already packed with people.
Five Great Families represents Pill Tower's control over the five major cities of Pill Domain, which will naturally attract countless audiences.
Looking at this main hall, Ye Zhong felt excited at this time. In the past, he came here with anxiety and uneasiness, but now, he finally understands what it means to be a fox and a tiger! Ye Zhong took the lead and led the way for Xiao Yan. When passersby saw Ye Zhong and Xiao Yan arriving, they all started talking.
"Hey, look, people from the Ye Family are here."
"The man in the front is Ye Zhong, then the man in the back is the legendary Xiao Yan?"
"Wow, he looks really young."
"I heard that this Xiao Yan is not only Alchemy Techniques, but also top-notch in strength, and she is still unmarried."
Under the gaze of many people, Ye Zhong and Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance of the hall smoothly. The heavy guards at the door looked at the Ye Family badge on Ye Zhong's chest, and then glanced at Xiao Yan behind them, who had a calm expression. His eyes changed from dull to solemn.
They all bowed their heads and saluted Ye Zhong and Xiao Yan.
They look down on the Ye Family, but not Xiao Yan, Eighth Grade Alchemist, how powerful this is. At this age, we are Eighth Grade Alchemist, and we will become Pill Tower Giant in the future! Pill Tower Three Giants once entered the realm of Eighth Grade at the age of thirty!
"Ye Family is here!"
There was a rattling sound, and as the guard shouted, the heavy door was slowly pushed open.
Entering the main hall, soft light poured down. When the light shone on the body, Xiao Yan also noticed that the eyes with various meanings in the main hall were also projected over.
Lifting his eyes slightly, Xiao Yan glanced across the hall. At this moment, there were many figures sitting and standing on the seats around the hall, and the most surprising thing was that most of these people's auras were not weak, and they were obviously from some powerful forces or families.
Especially the old man who was closest to the seat of the four major families of Dan Cao and Bai Qiu. This man looked at Xiao Yan with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Yan.
No need to ask Ye Zhong, Xiao Yan also knows that this is the so-called Xiang Family head.
If Xiao Yan had not appeared, then Xiang Family would have been the new Five Great Families.
Just one decision by Xiao Yan rewrote the future.
Ye Zhong led Xiao Yan to the Ye Family's seat, and Xiao Yan also looked at the seats of the four major Dancao and Baiqiu families.
Qiu Family is the weakest. Seeing Xiao Yan coming, the head of the Qiu Family nodded slightly. Bai Family had a problem with the Ye Family and looked at Xiao Yan with a gloomy expression.
What surprised Xiao Yan was that in the Dan Family's seat, the girl with a special physique stared at Xiao Yan with some joy in her eyes.
Seeing the timid girl, Xiao Yan smiled and waved gently in response.
"Cousin Dan Chen, do you know Xiao Yan?" Dan Xuan, whose talent was second only to Dan Chen, asked curiously.
Dan Chen nodded and said excitedly, "Cousin Dan Xuan, he was the man who met me in the sub-tower but was fine that time."
Hearing this, not only Dan Xuan, but also other Dan Family people all looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. They Dan Family naturally know how domineering Dan Chen's special physique is. Even the Old Ancestor and Eighth Grade Alchemist of the family dare not be careless when facing the current Dan Chen.
Xiao Yan is okay!
"That Xiao Yan should have received a very powerful inheritance and knows how to protect himself. Soul Skill, Dan Xuan, you should have more contact with that Xiao Yan, and remember not to offend this person." An old man on the side warned in a low voice.
"I know the head of the family."
Xiao Yan naturally didn't know this. After the two walked to the Ye Family's seat, the assessment did not start. The reason was simple because Cao Family hadn't come yet.
About five minutes later, a loud shout came from outside the door, "Cao Family is here!"
At the same time as the shouts rang out, there were also bursts of movement and discussion in the hall. Many forces who had been sitting quietly stood up quickly, with smiles on their faces.
Not surprising, Cao Family's current status is enough to make them flatter.
Even those Bai Family and Qiu Family had a hint of nervousness and a smile.
Hearing this loud shout, Xiao Yan, who closed his eyes to rest, slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked towards the entrance of the hall.
The closed door slowly opened, and the first thing that caught the eye was a graceful figure, with graceful lotus steps, slowly walking out in the sunlight.
When the graceful figure walked into the hall and appeared under the light and sight, the atmosphere in the hall was momentarily stagnant because of her.
Beautiful and moving.
The leading woman has a slender body and a tall figure. She wears a black dress that exudes a cold and arrogant temperament. She has three thousand black hair tied up randomly. Her cheeks are slightly thin, but she is exceptionally delicate, noble and dignified.
The woman stood at the door of the hall, with a trace of enchantment and charm in her narrow and slightly lazy eyes.
When this woman appeared, countless men in the hall were lost. Feeling the admiration of everyone, the corners of the woman's slender lips slowly raised a faint arc. At the moment when this arc was raised, the thin and charming cheek suddenly became full of charm.
"It is indeed worthy of the name of witch." Xiao Yan nodded secretly in his heart.
Without Ye Zhong's introduction, Xiao Yan also knew that the woman in black skirt was the legendary Bewitching Woman Cao Ying who could rival him.
At the age of twenty, he passed the Pill Tower assessment and became Seventh Grade Alchemist. A year ago, it was rumored that Tier 8 Medicinal Pill was refined. Now, he is only twenty-three years old.
In terms of pure Yao Tian talent, at the age of twenty-three, Xiao Yan was not as good as the Cao Ying in front of me!?
Of course, if Hun Xuzi knew that Xiao Yan thought so, he would probably slap Xiao Yan to death. When you say that, don't you mean that he is an old man?
Cao Ying The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his beautiful eyes swept over everyone present with a hint of boredom. Anyone caught by his gaze felt a sense of passion and fear in their hearts.
This woman's style is indeed very tempting, but under such temptation, there is more of a fear that goes deep into the bones.
Like a beautiful colorful snake.
"I wonder what will happen if this witch meets Cai Lin." Xiao Yan couldn't help but have some bad taste in his heart, but he quickly dispelled the thought.
Cao Ying looked at Dan Chen. Seeing Cao Ying, Dan Chen was like Jerry meeting Tom, hiding softly and timidly behind Dan Xuan.
Cao Ying led Cao Family towards the seat of the Cao Family under the attention of many eyes in the hall.
After a slight pause in his steps, Cao Ying stared at Xiao Yan with a listless face. Nalan Yanran smiled and asked, "You are Xiao Yan?"
"I should be the only one here Xiao Yan." Xiao Yan replied with a shrug.
"I heard that Mister Xiao Yan is Eighth Grade Alchemist at such a young age. Geez, I came to Holy Pill City not just to help Ye Family. Do you want to take Pill Gathering Champion into your arms this time?" Cao Ying covered his mouth and chuckled softly, but his eyes held a hint of challenge.
Hearing Cao Ying's words, Dan Chen's beautiful eyes were startled, and she also looked at Xiao Yan. Only now did she realize that Xiao Yan turned out to be Eighth Grade Alchemist.
Not only Dan Chen, but also many big families present were listening attentively. Although everyone has speculated, it turns out that Cao Ying was the first to directly ask Xiao Yan openly, and everyone wants to hear Xiao Yan's answer.
"Does Miss Cao Ying only want to be the runner-up in Pill Gathering? If that's the case, then I won't compete with you. I prefer the championship."
Hearing Xiao Yan's straightforward words, many people present who were preparing to participate in Pill Gathering felt their hearts sinking. Pill Gathering hadn't started yet. Xiao Yan and Cao Ying were at odds with each other, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong!
"Oh~~" Cao Ying murmured, but did not continue. He led Cao Family and everyone to sit on the seats, playing with a round jade bead in his slender white jade hands, waiting for the assessment to begin.
Alchemy It's not like relying on words, it's still unclear who will win and who will lose.
Not long after the Cao Family and others took their seats, the ground in the hall suddenly began to shake slowly. Five Great Families's seats moved back like pieces of movable floor. In the blink of an eye, an extremely spacious square appeared in the center of the hall.
When he appeared in the square, an energetic white-haired old man walked out slowly, then stopped in the center of the square, his eyes slowly swept across the field, smiled, and said, "Since Five Great Families are all here, I won't say much. I will preside over this assessment. I think you all have no objections, right?"
"Giggle, Elder Sheng, with your status in Pill Tower, who else dares to question you?" Facing the laughter of the white-haired old man, Cao Ying replied with a sweet smile.
"This old name Sheng Yao is one of Pill Tower Eight Great Elders. It has a considerable say in Pill Tower. Speaking of which, He can be regarded as the real senior executive of Pill Tower, and he is the real Eighth Grade Alchemist." Ye Zhong introduced in a low voice in Xiao Yan's ear.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly indifferently. From Xiao Yan's point of view, this old man is only in the early stage of Eighth Grade, and the ability to refine Three-Colored Pill Lightning to Tier 8 Medicinal Pill is already the limit.
"Girl Ying, you don't have to flatter me, I can't stand this old bone." The white-haired old man smiled slightly, then his eyes paused on Xiao Yan, and said, "It's almost time, Five Great Families assessor, please come in."
As the white-haired old man finished speaking, the whispers in the hall suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Yan stood up slowly and was the first to go to the field.
To Ye Zhong's surprise, Dan Family and Cao Family did not let Dan Chen and Cao Ying take action. Instead, a burly man Cao Xiu appeared next to Dan Xuan and Cao Ying.
Bai Family, on the other hand, sent out the most talented genius Bai Ying. On the contrary, Qiu Family only sent out a man in the early stage of Seventh Grade. From the looks of it, he didn't intend to compete for rankings. He just wanted to pass the level.
"Hello Master Xiao Yan, this is Dan Xuan. I wonder if Master Xiao Yan will be free after the assessment. I would like to treat Master Xiao Yan to a casual meal and welcome you to Holy Pill City." Dan Xuan asked with a warm smile.
"No, I still need to practice and prepare for Pill Gathering."
He Xiao Yan is going to work hard and kill all of you!
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, the faces of those alchemists who also wanted to participate in Pill Gathering couldn't help but change: Damn it! There is a scroll king!
Elder Sheng also looked at Xiao Yan, and then said, "Since everyone is here, let's get started."
"The first level is to test the strength of the soul."
Elder Sheng pointed to the center of the stone tablet, where there is a round smooth mirror disk, and said, "Each of you enter your own Soul Power into it, and on this mirror disk, your soul value will be tested. This value, Pill Tower, calls it Soul Value."
"As long as Soul Value reaches more than 400, it is considered a pass. And the Soul Value test in the Five Great Families assessment over the years, the highest record is Cao Ying. The Soul Value she tested back then reached 976, which has not been broken yet."
Having said this, Elder Sheng's eyes also turned to the Cao Family, where Cao Ying, who was dressed in black, was holding her cheek with her jade hand and playing with a round jade bead with her other hand. Her nonchalant look did not change at all due to the gazes around her.
"Haha, now that we all know the rules, let's start ranking according to Five Great Families." Elder Sheng withdrew his gaze and smiled at the five Xiao Yan.
Seeing this stone tablet, Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of the Xiao Clan's test stone tablet.
"I really miss it." Xiao Yan smiled, recalling those childhood days in Wutan City.
As for other people's Soul Value, Xiao Yan doesn't care at all.
"Xiao Yan, it's your turn." Elder Sheng couldn't help shouting.
"I want it too?"
"Ah?" Elder Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "According to the rules, I have to."
"That's okay."
Seeing Xiao Yan walking towards the stone monument, Cao Ying also put away his lazy eyes. At this moment, whether all the rumors are true or false, there will be answers!
Xiao Yan Slowly stretched out a finger and gently pressed it against the stone tablet. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, no longer restraining his Soul Power.
Boom boom boom!!! Suddenly, the entire hall began to shake, the ground shook, and some gravel fell from the ceiling.
"Spirit Realm! It's really Spirit Realm Soul Power!"
"This is too outrageous, how old is he!"
Even though there is countless evidence that Xiao Yan is indeed Eighth Grade Alchemist, but without seeing it with their own eyes, people still don't want to believe it because it is so outrageous!
At this time, they had no idea what to say.
"It's really Eighth Grade" Cao Ying's eyes were fixed on the back of the man in black robe. With a click, the jade ball in her palm shattered. She knew that this man would be her Pill Gathering biggest opponent!
"His Soul Power is so powerful." The timid Dan Chen looked at Xiao Yan with bright eyes. She sensed that Xiao Yan's Soul Power was actually stronger than her.
Xiao Yan slowly retracted his finger, and with a loud bang, the test stone tablet was unable to withstand the weight of Xiao Yan's soul and shattered.
"Elder Sheng, why don't you bring a new one and I'll control Soul Power this time. Otherwise it will be embarrassing if you get zero points." Xiao Yan said.
"Um, no, no, I think everyone already knows who the first place is." Elder Sheng is not stupid, so why do you do these stupid things.
Elder Sheng wrote the words 'Xiao Yan Spirit Realm' on the record board.
"This next assessment is called Soul Control." Elder Sheng said without forgetting to glance at Xiao Yan, and then took out a jet black iron bead from Storage Ring.
"This is a bead made of Soul Steel, named Soul Measuring Pearl. This kind of thing is very light if you hold it with your hands, but for the soul, it is like a heavy thing."
"After this Soul Control starts, many Soul Measuring Pearl will be sprinkled on the ceiling, and you need to use only Soul Power instead of Dou Qi to support it. Whoever catches the most Soul Measuring Pearl will be the best in this assessment, and so on to determine the ranking."
"This is the record of Soul Control's test. Forget it, let's get started."
Elder Sheng won't say much else. After all, Cao Ying was tested two years ago. And generally who would send Eighth Grade Alchemist under the age of thirty? Isn't this causing trouble! Swish! The overwhelming black iron beads poured down from the sky like heavy rain!
Just when Dan Xuan and others were waiting to find a way to catch more black balls, suddenly, the black ball falling from the ceiling stopped in mid-air as if the pause button had been pressed! At this time, Xiao Yan pointed at the sky, and the hundreds or thousands of black balls in the sky stopped.
"Elder Sheng, is this okay?"
"You."
Even the elegant and easy-going Dan Xuan was angry at this time. What a joke! Spirit Realm and Mortal Realm are as different as humans and gods, they are not from the same world at all!
I never thought that Spirit Realm would participate in the test of Five Great Families!
Many members of the family turned their eyes to Ye Zhong, thinking to themselves: If you want to hire foreign aid, don't be so outrageous!
At this point, the last item is actually no longer necessary. The Ye Family has succeeded. In the Five Great Families test, the Xiao Yan was like a fight between adults and children, and they could be thrown away by a wave of their hands.
"The final assessment is very simple. Five of you enter this circle and fight against each other using Soul Power. Whoever can stay in the circle last will be the winner." After saying Elder Sheng, he saw that the other four people no longer want to play, or even enter the circle.
It's completely asking for trouble. Doesn't Third Stage's ranking all depend on Xiao Yan's mood! "Elder Sheng, Cao Family want to change people midway, is that possible?"
In the main hall, all eyes suddenly shifted, and finally stopped at Cao Ying, who was holding the table with her jade hands, leaning forward slightly, revealing her seductive curves.
At this time, Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan with a touch of fire and Battle Intent.
