Seventh-grade Advanced

There are special channels everywhere, and the Pill Tower is no exception. After all, people from the Five Great Families consider themselves to be of noble status and disdain associating with other rogue cultivators, so this special testing room exists.

Xuan Yi also came out of a nearby room and said directly to Xiao Yu, "Let's go, everything's been arranged for you."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and followed Xuan Yi into the special testing room next to him. The testing room was also very large, and it had four rooms divided into four types: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, which should be prepared for alchemists of different levels.

As Xuan Yi led Xiao Yu in, an elderly figure was already standing inside. It was Elder Fan, who had been chatting with Xuan Yi earlier. Elder Fan chuckled as he saw Xuan Yi and Xiao Yu enter, saying, "So it was you who made Elder Xuan Yi so insistent on having this old man preside over the test?"

Upon hearing Elder Fan's words, Xiao Yu was immediately shocked. He turned to look at Xuan Yi. He hadn't expected that the beautiful woman in the cheongsam in front of him was actually one of the three giants of the Pill Tower, Xuan Yi. She was Eighth-grade Alchemist, and her status in the Pill Tower was extremely high!

Seeing Xiao Yu's gaze fixed on him, Xuan Yi said softly, "This is Elder Fan, one of the Great Elder of the Pill Tower. He happens to be here right now, so we've had him personally conduct the test!"

Xiao Yu snapped out of his reverie and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Fan!"

Elder Fan chuckled and said, "This old man just enjoys watching others refine pills. Leave the assessment to me. Do you want to take the Sixth-grade Beginner exam or the Sixth-grade Intermediate exam?"

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Is there any difference?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Elder Fan immediately explained, "It's not really a difference. It's just that the potency of each type of pill is different during alchemy, so each requires its own testing room. For the Sixth-grade Beginner, one needs to go to the Yellow Tier Testing Room; for the Sixth-grade Intermediate, one needs to go to the Mysterious Tier Testing Room!"

Xiao Yu understood, and then asked, "What if I'm taking the Sixth-grade Advanced exam?"

Elder Fan glanced at Xuan Yi, then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "If it's a Sixth-grade Advanced test, then you'll need to enter the Earthly Tier Testing Room!"

Xiao Yu nodded to indicate that he understood, Xuan Yi asked, "Do you want to take the exam to Sixth-Grade Advanced Alchemist?"

Elder Fan also looked at Xiao Yu. After all, he had heard that Xiao Yu came from the Northwest Continent, where the upper limit for alchemists was only the Sixth-grade Intermediate. Seeing that Xiao Yu was so young, it was somewhat surprising that he was going to take the test for the Sixth-Grade Advanced Alchemist.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if there's an upper limit to the assessment here?"

Elder Xuan and Elder Fan were both slightly taken aback. Elder Fan then said, "There is indeed an upper limit. The testing room here is the same as the one at the Pill Tower Headquarters. I am Eighth-Tier Beginner Alchemist, while this Elder Xuan Yi is Peak Eighth-grade Alchemist. Therefore, this place is sufficient to assess the High Eighth-Tier Alchemist Badge."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "In that case, I will choose to take the exam to Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist!"

"What?" Xuan Yi and Elder Fan both exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yu naturally understood what he was talking about. His current alchemy skills were probably around the Eighth-Tier Beginner. He could refine Eighth-Tier pills, but he couldn't fully master them. Seventh-grade pills, on the other hand, were easy for him. So Xiao Yu planned to first take the Seventh-grade Advanced exam, and then participate in the Pill Tower's Pill Gathering improve his alchemy skills to around the Eighth-Tier Intermediate.

Xiao Yu's strength has now broken through to the Dou Zun, and his Soul Power has reached the Spirit Realm Peak. However, his alchemy skills are not as good as his current skills. Alchemy skills require comprehension and timing. Only through competition with others can he break through to a higher level. He couldn't find opponents before, but now in the Pill Tower, there are many experts, so he can have a competition.

Xuan Yi quickly regained her composure. With her experience, she had seen many extraordinary geniuses before. Although Xiao Yu came from the Northwest Continent, talent in alchemy could not be distinguished by region.

Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yu with a solemn expression and said, "Are you sure you want to take the test for the badge of Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist?"

Xiao Yu nodded firmly and said, "Yes."

Xuan Yi gave Xiao Yu a deep look. She couldn't see through this young man either. Now that he wanted to take the test for the Seventh-grade Alchemist badge, let him give it a try.

"It seems you have quite a few secrets too!" Xuan Yi suddenly chuckled, a smile that was particularly captivating on her charming face.

Xiao Yu chuckled dryly. He hadn't known Xuan Yi's identity before, so it was better to hide his strength. Now that his strength had recovered and he knew Xuan Yi's identity, he knew that as one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants, Xuan Yi wasn't a bad person.

Seeing that the Elder Xuan Yi had no objections, Elder Fan said directly, "Since that's the case, then come with me to the Heavenly Tier Testing Room!"

Since Xuan Yi was bored anyway, he simply followed him inside. Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw Xuan Yi enter. Xuan Yi chuckled and said, "I saw that your pill-refining technique was quite skillful before, so I'd like to see how you refine Seventh-grade pill!"

Xiao Yu didn't say much. He followed Elder Fan to a stone platform where the Medicine Cauldron and medicinal herbs were located. There were two sets of herbs. If they could refine Seventh-grade Pill within the specified time and these two sets of herbs, they could obtain the badge of Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist!

Xiao Yu stepped forward and walked behind the stone platform, while Elder Fan and Xuan Yi went to the side. Elder Fan waved his sleeve, and a cyan Dou Qi shot towards a stone. A white energy shield enveloped Xiao Yu.

Next to Elder Fan was an hourglass. Turning it upside down revealed that Xiao Yu had officially begun refining the medicine.

Similarly, they both introduced flames into the Medicine Cauldron and then dumped all the medicinal herbs into Medicine Cauldron at once to begin refining. Xuan Yi seemed unfazed, but Elder Fan frowned and said, "This... this alchemy method is a bit too daring!"

"His Soul Power is very strong. Now he wants to challenge this Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist Badge. Presumably, his Soul Power has entered the Spirit Realm. With such powerful Soul Power, I think he can take the Seventh-grade Advanced badge," Xuan Yi said from the side.

Time passed quickly, but Xiao Yu refined the medicinal herbs even faster. Only a third of the time had passed, and all the herbs had been refined by Xiao Yu.

Elder Fan exclaimed in admiration, "Such alchemy skills! I truly wish to see his teacher!"

While the alchemy was still underway, another group of people arrived outside the testing room. These people wore brocade robes with a golden, circular badge embroidered on their chests, resembling a pill. The leader was a young man, followed by two elderly men. Judging from their aura, they were likely two Nine-Star Dou Zong experts.
