"What a powerful soul power!"
Sensing this vast, ocean-like soul power, the white-haired elder's expression instantly turned to one of shock, muttering to himself.
Although he was only a low seventh-tier alchemist, as one of the elders of the Pill Tower's branch, he had seen plenty of high-ranking alchemists throughout his career. Based on his experience, this young man's soul strength was at least at the peak of the Mortal Realm.
Thinking of this, the white-haired elder couldn't help but shake his head in amazement, sighing, "Old man Ye, no wonder you had so much confidence to apply for an early assessment this time, turns out you brought along such an extraordinary youth."
A peak seventh-tier alchemist might not count as anything too rare within the Pill Tower, but to reach such a level before the age of thirty… across the entire Central Plains, including all the Pill Tower's branches and the headquarters, there probably weren't even ten such people.
And besides, this young man was still holding Ye Zhong's granddaughter's hand, so clearly there was some relationship between them. As long as this youth grew stronger, the Ye Clan would finally turn its fate around.
"Hehe, just a bit of luck."
Hearing the astonishment in the other's tone, Ye Zhong stroked his beard with a smile as he replied.
At this time, the old hag who had been blasted away by Lin Feng earlier limped back. But just as she was about to spit out harsh words, that young man blocked her, signaling her to save it for later.
Seeing this, the old woman could only glare at Lin Feng with venomous eyes, her face dark as she stood to the side.
"Since everyone has calmed down, let's not waste any more time. The order of testing will follow the order of arrival. Young friend, what grade of alchemist do you wish to test for?"
Seeing both sides finally quiet, the elder named Han Li opened his mouth.
Since Lin Feng had earlier revealed a soul power far greater than his own, his tone was now much friendlier. After all, among alchemists, skill was what commanded respect.
And from the soul power Lin Feng displayed, his alchemy skills would naturally not be weak, so Han Li didn't dare to put on any airs.
"I'll take the highest alchemist rank that can be tested here."
Hearing that, Lin Feng chuckled lightly, stating the grade he wanted to be tested for. Then, raising Xiao Yixian's jade-like hand, he added, "As for my wife, she wants to test for a high sixth-tier alchemist."
"Mid seventh-tier is the limit that can be tested here, so young friend, just take the mid seventh-tier first. When you have time, you can head to the headquarters in the Inner Region of the Holy Pill City to test for higher grades."
Han Li knew that with Lin Feng's soul strength, his alchemy was most likely not limited to mid seventh-tier. After some thought, he slowly said. Lin Feng nodded slightly at his words, showing no objection.
Seeing that Lin Feng had no problem, Han Li then turned to Xiao Yixian and said, "The test for high sixth-tier alchemist is held in the Earth-level chamber, just enter that room, someone inside will conduct the test for you."
As he spoke, Han Li pointed toward a nearby stone door with the words "Earth-level" inscribed above it. Hearing this, Xiao Yixian nodded, then released Lin Feng's hand and walked toward it.
Han Li then looked toward the Bai Clan's group and asked, "Do any of you want to test? What rank?"
"I also want to test for mid seventh-tier."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the men immediately stepped forward and replied.
"Alright, but since I'm the only one here who can test that level, you'll have to wait a bit."
After confirming what grades the others wanted to test for, Han Li turned toward the surrounding crowd and said, "Don't just stand around, go to your respective chambers to test for your alchemist grades."
Hearing this, the other people all left in groups, walking into the various surrounding rooms. After all, no matter what, Han Li was the person in charge of this branch of the Pill Tower, not someone they could afford to offend.
Seeing everyone leave, Han Li immediately said to Lin Feng, "Young friend, follow me to the Heaven-level testing chamber."
With that, he turned and walked toward a stone door.
Seeing this, Lin Feng let go of Ye Xin Lan's delicate hand. After saying a word to her, he followed Han Li over, disappearing from the crowd's sight.
Once Lin Feng and Han Li entered the testing chamber, the hall instantly grew cold and quiet. After all, the relationship between the Ye Clan and the Bai Clan had never been good, and after what just happened, it was now even worse.
Naturally, there was nothing to say between the two sides.
"Rumble~"
No one knew how much time had passed before the heavy stone door with the words "Heaven-level Room" above it slowly opened.
Right after, Han Li and Lin Feng stepped out one after the other. But compared to earlier, Lin Feng now had an additional badge on the left side of his chest.
The badge was dark-gold in color, with flames swirling around it, and within the flames was a towering giant pagoda piercing the sky.
On the pagoda's body, seven dazzling purple-golden stars gleamed. Only, the seventh star was slightly dimmer at the moment.
Seeing that badge, several people who had already finished their own tests couldn't help but swallow hard. Such a young seventh-tier alchemist was already considered an extremely rare genius in most people's eyes.
As for the Bai Clan group, their expressions darkened slightly, and they simply stopped looking at him.
"Bai Ying, come with me."
Han Li had no time to care about the others' reactions. After stepping out, he immediately addressed the young man from the Bai Clan. Hearing this, that man walked toward the Heaven-level testing chamber.
"Xiao Yixian, you've finally got your wish, you've obtained the high sixth-tier alchemist badge."
Back in the hall, Lin Feng saw Xiao Yixian happily playing with her high sixth-tier badge, and he smiled as he spoke.
"Hehe."
Hearing his words, Xiao Yixian let out a rare silly giggle, then stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Lin Feng's.
She not only had the husband she loved, but she had also resolved the Woeful Poison Body that once drove her into despair. And today, she had even obtained the rank badge issued by the holy land of alchemists on the continent.
It all made her feel like she was dreaming, afraid she might wake up. Sensing her mood, Lin Feng also wrapped his arm around her slender waist and silently walked over to Ye Zhong and the others.
"Elder Ye Zhong, let's go."
Reaching Ye Zhong and Ye Xin Lan's side, Lin Feng said.
"Alright."
Ye Zhong laughed and took the lead in heading out.
Now that Lin Feng had obtained his alchemist grade, the next step was only the assessment from the five great families. As long as they passed this trial, the Ye Clan would gain several decades of breathing room.
With that, the Ye Clan would once again have the foundation to rise. Thinking of this, Ye Zhong couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming assessment.
