The Elders' Reactions; Bai Lie and Qian Mu Emerge from Seclusion

The Eighth Tier is a very high level, whether used to describe Alchemist or a pill.

Not to mention the remote Northwest Continent, even in the most resource-rich central Central Plains, it stands at the pinnacle.

The Seven Ancient Clans are the true masters of the Dou Qi Continent today. However, apart from the Yao Clan and the Soul Clan, the strongest alchemists of the other clans are only Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

After careful consideration, Xiao Yan realized that in the time it had taken for him and his teacher Yao Chen to mature, there were only five Ninth-Rank Alchemist on the entire continent.

The Yao Clan's Yao Dan and Yao Wanhuo, the Little Pill Tower's Little Pill Tower Grand Elder Old Monster Lin, the Soul Clan's Hun Xuzi, and the rogue Elder Shennong.

In other words, someone who can refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pill is undoubtedly a top-tier Alchemist.

In the evaluation system of Central Plains, Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier alchemy masters are enough to be honored guests in most forces, while Eighth Tier is a true alchemy grandmaster, capable of commanding Dou Zun expert.

Xiao Yan was undoubtedly excited to have successfully refined an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.

He stood up and looked at the Yao Lao like a child, his eyes filled with excitement as if he were begging for praise.

When Yao Lao saw that Xiao Yan had actually refined an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, his entire Soul Body was stunned on the spot.

Even if this Tier 8 Medicinal Pill was refined and evolved from the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill,

Even if this Tier 8 Medicinal Pill was achieved by simply piling on a large amount of Medicinal Herbs,

Even though he had helped a great deal with this Tier 8 Medicinal Pill,

Even if this Tier 8 Medicinal Pill only achieved its Eighth Tier thanks to the finishing touch of the Myriad Beast Cauldron,

None of this changes one fact: Xiao Yan really did refine an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.

Most importantly, Xiao Yan is not even twenty years old yet! Not even twenty years old!

"He refined Tier 8 Medicinal Pill before he was even twenty years old. Such Heaven-Swallowing Talent is unparalleled, even among those Ancient Clans!" Yao Lao exclaimed in shock, his tone filled with disbelief.

Xiao Yan smiled brightly and said modestly, "Teacher, you flatter me. My growth to this point is largely due to my constant good fortune, especially the Fire Spirit Body, which allows me to control flames with ease and has enabled my alchemy skills to improve rapidly."

Hearing Xiao Yan's self-deprecating words, Yao Lao said directly, "Yan'er, there's no need to be modest. You have indeed been blessed with great fortune to grow to where you are today, but you have no idea how abundant the resources those Ancient Clans provide for their disciples. The resources you have obtained are not even one percent of theirs."

But with just that one percent of resources, you crushed all your peers.

You're not even twenty yet, you have a bright future ahead of you!

The Yao Lao's eyes gleamed with joy, and his voice was filled with pride.

Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan felt a little giddy.

However, he never wanted to compete with anyone; his goal was to grow up quickly and prevent those tragedies.

Moreover, the success of this Tier 8 Medicinal Pill relies heavily on luck.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's mind gradually calmed down.

He looked up at the sky. Unlike the silver Pill Lightning of Seventh Tier pill, the intensity of the Pill Lightning of Tier 8 Medicinal Pill was determined by the number of Pill Lightning. It started with two colors and reached a maximum of nine colors.

At this moment, in addition to the familiar silver Pill Lightning, there was also a type of cyan Pill Lightning in the sky, which seemed to be even more powerful than the silver Pill Lightning.

Xiao Yan rubbed his fists and said, "Teacher, I'm late, but I'm here. Time to face the Pill Lightning again!"

"Pill Lightning..." Yao Lao also realized that now was not the time to celebrate, as they had not yet passed Pill Lightning's test.

"The Two-Colored Pill Lightning, especially the azure lightning within it, is not something that can be easily dealt with." The Yao Lao's expression was solemn.

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao and grinned, "Teacher, don't worry, I can handle it. It'll be a good opportunity for you to see my newly awakened Heaven-Swallowing Talent."

Jia Nan Academy.

Outer Academy.

In a Small Courtyard.

Hu Gan's lips were always turned up, and he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

Su Qian congratulated him by cupping his hands and saying, "Congratulations, Hu Gan!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! After you take that Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill, Elder, your strength will increase significantly." Hu Gan the greeting.

"Old Hu, you've beaten me to it." Elder Huo stepped forward to congratulate him, his face showing no envy but rather a broad smile.

Seeing this, Hu Gan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Old Huo, judging from your appearance, has your alchemy made any progress?"

Elder Huo stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, I have benefited greatly from Yan Xiao's pill refining techniques. I now have great confidence in refining Tier 6 Medicinal Pill and becoming a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!"

Hu Gan nodded repeatedly and laughed, "Haha, that's wonderful!"

In the Small Courtyard, elders from the academy kept congratulating Hu Gan, Hu Gan responded to each one.

During their conversation, the elders all mentioned Xiao Yan.

Hu Gan, "Yan Xiao's Break-Ancestor Pill is really effective. After taking it, I felt that the obstacle to breaking through to the Dou Zong had almost disappeared."

One of the elders who received a Imperial Extreme Pill said, "Yan Xiao's Imperial Extreme Pill is incredibly effective! I directly advanced from the Five-Star Dou Emperor to the seventh star, and my cultivation is still very stable, saving me years of arduous cultivation."

Another elder spoke up, " With Yan Xiao's arrival at the academy, even more students have been enrolling recently."

Su Qian nodded in agreement. "Although these were obtained by exchanging Fallen Heart Flame, it's not a loss for us to get Master Yan Xiao in return."

"The Fallen Heart Flame... If it weren't for its frequent outbursts... Sigh."

The atmosphere in the Small Courtyard suddenly became somewhat somber when the Fallen Heart Flame was mentioned.

Many of the elders were students of the academy before they graduated and stayed on as elders. They benefited greatly from the Fallen Heart Flame before becoming Dou Wang, so it's somewhat of a pity now.

Of the many elders present, apart from those who received pills or benefits from Xiao Yan, most actually felt they had been taken advantage of.

Boom!

A thunderclap boomed, and the surge of energy from heaven and earth silenced everyone in the Small Courtyard. They all looked towards the Inner Academy, where silver and blue lightning in the sky made everyone's expressions solemn.

Without further ado, the elders present immediately set off, flying towards the Inner Academy.

Inner Academy, upon seeing the dwellings beneath the lightning, a look of understanding appeared on everyone's faces.

"This is Elder Yan Xiao's Small Courtyard. It seems that Elder Yan Xiao attracted this lightning."

"What is this? Is it Pill Lightning? Why is it two colors?"

Su Qian shook his head, looking puzzled. "I don't know. That silver lightning is indeed the same as the Pill Lightning, but I've never even heard of that cyan lightning before."

Just then, two unfathomably powerful auras slowly emerged from the void.

Su Qian's eyes widened as she looked into the void not far away.

There, space shattered, and two figures emerged from it.

Upon seeing the two, Su Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Bai, Elder Qian! What brings you out here!"

Bai Lie and Qian Mu glanced at the silver and blue lightning, their voices rising and falling.

Bai Lie said earnestly, "Normally, we won't come out unless it's a matter of life and death for the academy, but this time is different."

"It would be extremely impolite not to show up in front of an Eighth-Rank Alchemist."

Qian Mu added solemnly, "Those silver and blue Two-Colored Pill Lightning only appear when Tier 8 Medicinal Pill is successfully formed!"
