Leave Her Here to Embarrass Herself

Inside the spacious room, all was silent. Xiao Yuan's slightly scrutinizing gaze was fixed on the light screen displaying the alchemy assessment results of the group.

Well, the standards of the Danta are indeed very strict. If this were in the Jia Ma Empire, at least a quarter of the alchemists would be eliminated in the same level of assessment.

These young people would certainly be considered local tyrants in the Jia Ma Empire, since they were all being assessed as Sixth Grade Alchemist, and each of them could be considered a young talent comparable to Pill King Gu He who was once famous in the Jia Ma Empire.

But to be honest, their alchemy skills are far from comparable to Xiao Yuan's a year ago.

Therefore, after only a short while, Xiao Yi Xian lost interest and turned her gaze elsewhere.

These people's alchemy skills are far inferior to Xiao Yuan's.

As for Xiao Yan, he also shook his head in disappointment after observing for a while.

Just as he had expected, these people were indeed no match for him; the gap between them was too great.

The old woman from the Bai family naturally had no choice but to remain silent, while the elder from the Qiu family, while watching the assessment scene on the light screen, glanced at Xiao Yuan with a veiled look.

He couldn't imagine how this young man in front of him had cultivated both Dou Qi and alchemy to such a terrifying level at the age of twenty.

Elder Han Li was equally shocked. In his eyes, he could see that Xiao Yuan's Space Power was comparable to that of Dou Zun expert. As for his soul power, it had reached the level of Eighth Grade Alchemist. Moreover, judging from the spiritual charm within it, he had not just advanced but had been at that level for some time!

No wonder that old fellow Ye Zhong said that.

So, in a quiet atmosphere, everyone silently watched the assessment on the screen, and no one spoke.

"Creak."

This eerie silence lasted for an unknown amount of time before the tightly closed Profound Level Room finally opened slowly. Four people then stepped out. Except for one whose face was flushed red, the other three wore badges on their chests. Flames swirled around the badges, revealing a tower shape. On the tower, six purple-gold stars emitted dazzling light.

Six purple-gold stars. Upon closer inspection, the sixth one can be seen to be slightly dimmer than the previous five. This is a sign of intermediate level; lower-level stars would be dimmer, while higher-level stars would shine as brightly as the others. "Sixth Grade Intermediate test complete. Two members of the Qiu family passed, and one member of the Bai family passed."

Han Li glanced at the four of them, then spoke slowly.

However, since the results had already been seen on the light screen, no one was surprised. The old man from the Qiu family had a smile on his face, after all, his side had all succeeded.

Although the old woman in gray was unhappy, she couldn't move, so she could only glare fiercely at the man who had failed the test.

Immediately afterwards, the four people's attention was drawn to the light screen in mid-air. At this moment, there was no longer any scene in the light screen, but the powerful soul force emanating from the light screen, which was quite oppressive to them, shocked them.

Immediately, the two members of the Qiu family returned to the side of the Qiu family elder in confusion. As for the two members of the Bai family, they noticed the strange state of the old woman of the Bai family, who was frozen in mid-air in a bizarre posture. They hurriedly stepped forward, but were blocked by an invisible wall.

The two looked flustered and turned to Han Li.

But Han Li couldn't pay attention to them, because the tightly closed Earth Level Room slowly opened, and a cold and beautiful woman in white walked out with her still proud steps. On her full chest, a badge shone, with six extremely bright purple-gold stars on it.

Rank 6, High Grade!

"The sixth-grade advanced test is complete. The Bai family has passed."

Upon hearing Han Li's announcement, the proud smile on the cold and beautiful woman's face widened even further, but it was clear that no one in the room paid any attention to her.

With measured steps, the aloof woman approached the gray-clad old woman, her gaze immediately fixed on Xiao Yan with interest. She was eager to see how he would clean up his act of grandstanding. But soon, she noticed something amiss. Turning her head, she saw her elder frozen in place, only her eyes expressing fear. She reached out, only to find an invisible wall sealing the Bai family inside, rendering her immobile.

"Next is the Seventh-grade Intermediate assessment, which I will personally conduct. Follow me."

Han Li glanced kindly at Xiao Yan, who remained unmoved, nodded, and turned to walk towards the Heaven Level Testing Room. With Xiao Yuan's reminder, he naturally did not think that the person named Xiao Yan, who was clearly related to Xiao Yuan, would be a mediocre talent.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate and followed him. Then the two of them slowly disappeared from the gazes of the people in the room.

After being informed by the elder of the Qiu family family, the Qiu family understood what had happened. They glanced at Xiao Yuan's direction in shock, never expecting that this handsome and enviable young man would possess such terrifying strength.

As for the three members of the Bai family, they were confused, but seeing the old woman of the Bai family looking like this, they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They pursed their lips and stood obediently in place.

At this moment, no one else left the room. They all wanted to see what this guy named Xiao Yan was all about! The woman in white also frowned. Although she didn't know what had happened, she felt that it might be related to that handsome young man who made her feel somewhat inferior.

All eyes were now focused on the tightly closed Heaven Level Room, awaiting the final result. Hmm? The few who came out later discovered that the scene inside the Heavenly-level assessment room was actually shown on the light screen! Time ticked by in the quiet testing room, and everyone's expressions grew increasingly solemn.

Even the white-haired old woman and the Qiu family elder felt inferior to Xiao Yan's alchemy skills. Clearly, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills surpassed theirs! When another half hour passed, the tightly closed Heaven Level Room finally opened slowly with a slight creak. Everyone saw on the light screen that Xiao Yan had finally succeeded in refining the pills. Elder Han Li also looked quite excited.

Everyone in the room perked up, and their gazes immediately fixed on the door.

As the door slowly opened, the figure of an elderly man with white hair stepped out. At this moment, Han Li frowned slightly for some reason, shook his head and sighed softly.

Upon seeing his appearance, a hint of joy immediately appeared in the eyes of the old woman in gray. Then, her gaze turned to the back of Han Li, where Xiao Yan's slender figure slowly emerged. The moment he appeared, all eyes in the room almost immediately focused on his chest, but it was empty. The old woman naturally assumed that something had happened, but being bound by the Space Power, she could only move her eyes to the limit.

The aloof, white-clad woman beside the gray-robed old woman also curled her lips and slowly shook her head. She was indeed a clown trying to attract attention. How laughable that she had actually believed this person might be extraordinary? She had even stood here waiting for half a day.

The elder from the Qiu family, however, did not think so. The Bai family members were prejudiced and did not want to see Xiao Yan succeed, but he saw very clearly that even the most skilled elder in the Qiu family could not make the pills that Xiao Yan refined with such smooth and effortless skill.

Ye Zhong frowned slightly at the mixed emotions in the room's gazes, but his face didn't turn as pale as others had imagined. He knew Xiao Yan's abilities very well; he wouldn't say he was 100% sure of obtaining the Seventh-grade Intermediate Alchemist Badge, but he was at least 80%. Moreover, judging from Xiao Yan's expression, he didn't look like someone who had failed. Han Li walked towards Ye Zhong and sighed.

"Elder Han Li?"

Ye Zhong suddenly felt a little unsure.

"Old man, congratulations. The test was a great success. Your kid's alchemy skills far surpass mine. Although he passed the Seventh-grade Intermediate test without any problems, I didn't award him a rank badge because I think he should be able to get a higher-level badge. So, I would like to invite him to the Dan Tower Headquarters for another test."

Han Li's voice was like a thunderclap, causing the incredulous gazes of the Bai family and Qiu family to focus entirely on Xiao Yan. The expression on the white-clad woman's face was truly remarkable.

"Deacon Han, let's forget about going to headquarters for the test."

Xiao Yan didn't really care whether he was a high-level or intermediate-level badge; it was just a badge, and as long as it was enough, that was fine.

Upon hearing this, Han Li was taken aback, then nodded and took out a badge that shone with a dazzling light from his Storage Ring. He handed it to Xiao Yan with a slight hint of politeness and smiled, "Since you insist, then so be it. If you have time, I suggest you go to the Danta to test yourself. I believe you have the ability."

Taking the badge, Xiao Yan casually flipped through it. The badge was dark in color, with flames swirling around it. Within the flames was a colossal tower reaching the sky, and on the tower, seven dazzling purple-gold stars shimmered. However, the seventh star was slightly dimmed at the moment.

Inside the room, all eyes were fixed on the dazzling badge flipping in Xiao Yan's hand. For a moment, all fell silent. It was Seventh-grade Intermediate badge, something even the gray-robed old woman, the elder from the Qiu family, and even Han Li had never achieved. Yet now, this badge, a symbol of glory, was in the hands of Xiao Yan, a young man who looked extremely young. Ye Zhong's face was full of smiles as he stroked his beard. Especially when he saw the wonderful expressions on the faces of the old woman from the Bai family and the others, he felt an indescribable sense of joy. Since the decline of the Ye Clan, it had been a long time since he had seen these guys show such expressions.

Soon, Han Li turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan, cupped his hands in greeting, and said politely, "Sir, would you consider taking the test at the Dan Tower Headquarters to obtain the badge of Eighth Grade Alchemist? And what about the Pill Gathering? I wonder if you would participate?"

Upon hearing this, the young people from the Bai and Qiu families, who had not yet recovered from the shock of Xiao Yan being Rank 7 Intermediate Alchemist, widened their eyes and focused their incredulous gazes on Xiao Yuan, their throats becoming dry.

This guy is actually Eighth-Tier Grandmaster? "Uh, the Dan Tower Headquarters? I'll go another day. There are a few seniors I need to visit, but I'll skip it today. It's too unlucky. It's disappointing that such a despicable person could be on the Dan Tower Elder Seat. A mere One-Star Dou Zong can speak such vulgar language in the Danta. There are quite a few maggots in the holy land of alchemists."

Xiao Yuan shook his head apologetically and said calmly.

Although he never looked at the old woman from the Bai family throughout the entire process, everyone knew exactly who he was referring to.

The white-haired old woman's face turned extremely ugly from the scolding, but she couldn't break through the binding force around her.

This young man is terrifyingly strong! "Hmm, I have been too lenient with them. Council of Elders about this matter later. If Mr. Xiao Yuan needs a guide, please come to me. I can introduce you to anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's expression turned serious. He nodded earnestly and then spoke solemnly.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Steward Han then."

Xiao Yuan smiled, then nodded to Ye Zhong, and turned to leave with Xiao Yi Xian. Xiao Yan followed quickly.

As for the old woman from the Bai family, she was naturally still bound and sealed in place by the Space Blockade.

The three members of the Bai family wanted to say something, but for some reason, they couldn't bring themselves to speak and could only watch Xiao Yuan and the other two leave.

"Just who is this Mr. Xiao Yuan?"

Han Li pulled Ye Zhong and asked.

"All I know is that he has Dou Zun by his side, who is my granddaughter's senior at the Jia Nan Academy, an extremely monstrous genius."

Ye Zhong shook his head and said.

He certainly wouldn't pry into things he shouldn't know out of curiosity.

"So, he's not from Central State?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's pupils contracted.

"Of course, he and Xiao Yan are brothers, both from the same empire in the Northwest Region."

This information was also given to him by Ye Xinlan Ye Xinlan, who in turn heard it from the senior students of the Lion Heart Society.

"I never expected such a prodigy to emerge from the Northwest Region. It's a pity he's not participating in the Pill Gathering Pill Gathering; otherwise, he would definitely be one of the strongest contenders for the championship!"

Han Li couldn't help but sigh.

"Just one of the strong contenders?"

Ye Zhong frowned and asked.

"Hmm, don't spread rumors. I heard that the young people sent by the Cao Family and the Dan Family this time are not simple either. Perhaps their alchemy skills have also reached that realm!"

Han Li suddenly spoke using his Dou Qi spirit.

"Is that so?" Ye Zhong's expression became more serious, and he quickly cupped his hands in thanks. "I won't say thank you. You know who I am, so don't worry. I'll go back and tell them right away!"

"Okay!"

Han Li smiled and watched Ye Zhong leave.

Seeing this, the Qiu family took their leave immediately, while only the Bai family remained because of the immobile Bai family matriarch.

"Deacon Han"

After a long pause, the aloof and beautiful woman from the Bai family couldn't help but speak.

"Don't bother me. Since that gentleman hasn't let go of her, you can go find Dou Zun expert from the Bai family to resolve this yourselves, or just stand here and embarrass yourselves."

Han Li wouldn't bother with this mess. He coldly tossed out a sentence and turned to leave.
