"What!?"
"An Grade 8 Alchemist?"
"Are you sure?"
The Elder of the Pill Tower responsible for Alchemist rank certification was greatly astonished.
He immediately asked for confirmation again.
After all, the status of an Grade 8 Alchemist was extremely high; even in the Pill Tower, known as the Holy Land of Alchemy, there were very few recorded Grade 8 Alchemists... Moreover, this young man in front of him was so young that being a Seventh-Rank Alchemist already qualified him as an Alchemist Prodigy...
Compared to the Elder, Cao Ying, who was beside him, didn't react much.
Because Cao Ying knew that the Soul Power of this peer in front of her was exceptionally strong!
Perhaps he really did possess the level of an Grade 8 Alchemist...
Xiao Yi's expression was calm, and he nodded seriously.
Seeing this, the Elder first turned his head to glance at Cao Ying beside him, then sighed and said softly:
"Mr. Lin Yuan..."
"It's shameful to admit, though I am an Elder of the Pill Tower, I only possess the level of a Seventh-Rank Alchemist..."
"I am not qualified to assess the Grade 8 Alchemist you wish to be tested for..."
"So..."
Before the Elder could finish speaking, Cao Ying interrupted him:
"Mr. Lin Yuan..."
"The Grade 8 Alchemist assessment is quite difficult. If you don't mind the trouble, I can ask my teacher to personally conduct the assessment for you..."
"My teacher is one of the Dan Ta Three Giants, a renowned Eighth-Grade Peak Alchemist on the continent..."
Seeing Cao Ying's enthusiasm, Xiao Yi had no reason to refuse.
He nodded: "Then I shall trouble you, miss..."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yi was led by the Elder to a room to rest and wait.
A moment later, the Elder found Xiao Yi again.
"Mr. Lin Yuan..."
"Please follow me, the Guild Master is waiting for you..."
Xiao Yi nodded, then followed the Elder towards the upper levels in the center of the Pill Tower.
A moment later, the Elder led Xiao Yi to a luxurious hall and then turned to leave.
Xiao Yi, at this moment, was not afraid at all. He slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.
In the luxurious hall, Cao Ying stood respectfully to one side.
On the high platform, a man dressed in a purple-white robe stood with his hands behind his back.
The purple-white robe was embroidered with extremely exquisite pill patterns!
The man looked quite young, and his eyes were exceptionally bright and spirited!
Moreover, an Aura of a strong expert emanated from him, both from within and without!
Without needing to think much, just by his Aura and attire, one could tell that the person in front of him was Xuan Kongzi, one of the Dan Ta Three Giants.
Xiao Yi was also very polite and cupped his hands first, saying:
"Junior Lin Yuan greets Senior Xuan Kongzi..."
Xuan Kongzi heard this, nodded slightly, then lowered his gaze to look at Xiao Yi and said softly:
"You are the Mr. Lin Yuan that Ying'er mentioned, who wishes to undergo the Grade 8 Alchemist assessment?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "Exactly..."
Xuan Kongzi heard this, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes inadvertently, then he spoke again in a deep voice:
"An Grade 8 Alchemist is not simple..."
"But according to Ying'er, your Soul Power is very strong..."
"I wonder if you can demonstrate it..."
Xiao Yi heard this, had a plan in mind, and nodded, saying: "Then I apologize for the offense..."
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, the Soul Power within his body was no longer hidden; he immediately displayed all of his internal Soul Power.
"Heavenly Realm Soul..."
"No wonder he could instantly stun two Dou Zongs..."
"At this age, to reach the Heavenly Realm Soul, is truly rare..."
"However, the assessment for an Grade 8 Alchemist is quite strict. Are you truly going to undergo the assessment..."
Xuan Kongzi was still somewhat shocked to see Xiao Yi's Soul Power reach the Heavenly Realm.
After all, the Soul Power of many Elementary Grade 8 Alchemists was only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm.
It was not easy to step into the Heavenly Realm!
And the person in front of him, although his Soul Power reached the Heavenly Realm, his attire was a bit too simple.
Presumably, he was not a member of a prominent Family. It was unknown how he managed to reach the Heavenly Realm Soul, and his alchemy skills still needed to be tested.
However, Xiao Yi smiled slightly and said softly:
"Replying to Senior Xuan Kongzi..."
"Junior wishes to attempt the Grade 8 Alchemist assessment today..."
"However, I wonder if Junior can make some requests..."
Xuan Kongzi: "Please speak..."
Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said: "Junior came to Holy Pill City in a bit of a rush this time..."
"I haven't prepared the medicinal ingredients required for this assessment to refine Medicinal Pills, so I wonder if the Pill Tower can provide the medicinal ingredients to facilitate my assessment..."
Xuan Kongzi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, then said: "I wonder what medicinal ingredients young friend needs..."
Xiao Yi: "Blood Essence Demon Fruit, Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Vine, and Snow Bone Ginseng..."
Upon hearing these three medicinal ingredients, even Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
After all, these three medicinal ingredients were all extremely rare, and the value of each was comparable to a seventh-grade pill!
But for the Pill Tower, an alchemy paradise, these three medicinal ingredients were certainly obtainable.
"Young friend Lin, do you know that these three medicinal ingredients are extremely precious..."
"The Pill Tower can agree to your request, but this venerable one also has a request..."
"If you successfully pass the assessment, this venerable one hopes that you can join the Pill Tower... But if you fail, then..."
Before Xuan Kongzi could finish speaking, Xiao Yi nodded and said:
"Please rest assured, Guild Master..."
"This Junior has enough confidence; this time, I will definitely succeed..."
Seeing the confidence in Xiao Yi's brows, Xuan Kongzi also nodded, choosing to believe him.
Although those three medicinal ingredients were very precious, if the young man in front of him could successfully pass the assessment.
Those three medicinal ingredients were simply not worth mentioning compared to a Genius who was so young, possessed a Heavenly Realm Soul, and was an Grade 8 Alchemist!
After all, who wouldn't love a Genius...
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi, under Xuan Kongzi's guidance, arrived at the Pill Tower's assessment area.
The news of Xiao Yi's assessment also alarmed many Elders within the Pill Tower!
Including the other two Three Giants, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, who also came to watch.
On the table in front of Xiao Yi, the three required medicinal ingredients had already been placed...
The Medicinal Pill Xiao Yi was preparing to refine this time was the Seventh-Grade Peak bone-regenerating blood-melting pill, which could bring people back from the dead!
Although Xiao Yi currently did not have the Pill Formula in his hand, he had seen the Pill Formula from Medicine Saint before and remembered its refining method in his heart...
The next second, a flash of light appeared from Xiao Yi's storage ring on the alchemy high platform.
Immediately, a crimson Medicine Cauldron appeared in front of Xiao Yi.
"This is..."
"myriad beast cauldron?"
Xuan Kongzi frowned and quickly recognized that Xiao Yi's Medicine Cauldron was actually the myriad beast cauldron, ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Cauldron List!
However, the next second, a scene that astonished everyone present occurred.
A colorless, transparent flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, suddenly appeared in Xiao Yi's palm!
"Colorless and transparent, with a milky white center..."
"Fallen Heart Flame!"
"This kid actually possesses an abnormal flame; why didn't I sense it before..."
At this moment, Xuan Kongzi was full of confusion; with his strength, he actually couldn't perceive that the young man in front of him possessed an abnormal flame...
The reason Xuan Kongzi didn't detect it was entirely due to Xiao Yi's qiankun storage ring, which concealed all of Xiao Yi's Aura...
