Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

Ye Xinlan's pretty face flushed slightly. It was her master who was in charge of the judgment, so it was hard to lose. This feeling... who could understand?

However, she shouldn't embarrass her teacher.

"call……"

The girl parted her red lips slightly, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and placed her slender hand on the stone tablet. However, she burst out with a light that was far more dazzling and brilliant than the previous few people. The bright red value soared all the way up to break through nine hundred and stopped at nine hundred and thirty-two.

"..."

The surrounding scene was completely still.

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene.

Nine hundred and thirty-two means that Ye Xinlan's soul power is at least at the level of a seventh-grade advanced alchemist. In other words, she is by no means a pretty face, but a true genius!

"How is this possible?!"

Bai Ying's face showed shock mixed with rage. He instinctively growled, "She cheated! She must have used some secret technique to forcibly enhance her soul power! Elder Sheng, my Bai family will not accept this! She..."

"Pfft~!"

However, in the next instant, Bai Ying coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing into the wall of the main hall with a thud, his face pale.

"Who gave you the audacity to question the fairness of the Pill Tower test?" Sheng Yao withdrew his hand, glanced at Bai Ying, and snorted.

"Elder Sheng, my Bai family disciple only raised a question, why has it come to this!" a gray-haired old woman from the Bai family said indignantly.

“You…” Sheng Yao frowned slightly, about to give him a good talking-to, but Xiao Yan pressed down on his shoulder, stopping him from speaking and leaving the scene to Xiao Yan.

The latter remained calm, his gaze fixed on the old woman from the Bai family.

When the old woman saw Xiao Yan's gaze, she felt immense pressure. Her throat bobbed, and she slowly lowered her head, her arrogance diminishing somewhat.

"If there are any objections, you can raise them inside the Pill Tower." Xiao Yan casually waved his hand and said, "Bai family, disqualify us from this competition..."

Disqualification means automatically being placed at the bottom.

"You?!!" The old woman from the Bai family looked embarrassed and clenched her fists, trying to use the surrounding public opinion to create momentum, but found that no one followed her after she started the fight. Among the other four major families, the Ye family naturally ignored her, the Cao family stared at her like she was a fool, the Dan family kept silent, and the Qiu family pretended to be deaf and dumb in order to protect themselves.

Left with no other choice, he could only snort angrily and lead the Bai family disciples away.

Leaving the main hall, the old woman from the Bai family had a ferocious and angry expression: "I refuse to believe that those three would sit idly by while such blatant favoritism is shown. Come, let's go find the Grand Elder!"

……

Subsequent assessment.

Ye Xinlan gradually revealed her strength. Even with only a half-month adjustment period, she easily overwhelmed the other companies, causing a shock and astonishment to the entire audience.

"That girl, could it be that she ate a Xuan Dan (a type of elixir)?"

Cao Xiu was also surprised. The Cao family ranked second this time, but the loss was very strange.

The girl's soul power didn't seem fake; it was genuine and not superficial. After thinking it over, it could only be the work of her master.

"Who knows?"

Cao Ying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly as she sized up Ye Xinlan.

She was itching to try it out herself.

The peak of the seventh rank is only a hair's breadth away from the eighth rank.

Ye Xinlan has undergone a tremendous transformation in just half a month.

What kind of skill does my junior uncle possess that allows him to conjure up a peak seventh-grade alchemist out of thin air?

"Regardless, the Cao family should behave themselves. Keep a close eye on that beast when you get back, and don't let him escape and harm anyone again." Cao Ying leaned back lazily in her chair, her tone leisurely, yet tinged with anger. She had finally managed to build a good relationship with Xiao Yan, only to have Cao Dan suddenly appear. If that beast hadn't had his Dao heart shattered, rendering him practically dead, she certainly wouldn't have let him off so easily…

"Yes." Although Cao Xiu was older, his tone was quite respectful.

"My only enemy is that girl from the Dan family. I wonder if she has taken that step yet."

With the results of the competition announced, none of the four major families raised any objections.

Ye Xinlan was quite stunning, but she also had her flaws. For example, she had only been at the seventh rank for a short time, so her alchemy skills hadn't caught up yet. Fortunately, this assessment didn't test her alchemy skills.

Therefore, no flaws were revealed.

"Dan family's Danxuan greets Elder Xiao..."

The young man from the Dan family was quite refined and easygoing. He led his younger sister, Dan Chen, to stand before Xiao Yan and bowed to him.

"The Dan family?" Xiao Yan revealed a warm smile.

He then turned his gaze to Dan Chen.

From his spiritual perspective, this girl was like a dark wormhole, constantly drawing soul power from the surroundings. No wonder her pretty face was pale; her special physique was causing her physical body to suffer.

Unconsciously, one can draw upon the spiritual energy of the surroundings to amplify oneself.

He is practically a born alchemy saint.

Even that enchanting girl Cao Ying was slightly inferior.

"So you are Dan Chen?"

Xiao Yan smiled.

Seeing the curiosity in Xiao Yan's eyes, Dan Xuan was overjoyed. His Dan family was almost green with envy for the Cao family. Cao Ying had been taken as a disciple by one of the three giants, while the other two giants were always indifferent and did not like to take on disciples. Now, this Xiao Yan... was his Dan family's opportunity.

Unlike the Bai family, who were short-sighted, he could see Xiao Yan's potential.

If he were truly willing to take one of the three top positions in the Dan Tower, I doubt anyone would challenge him for it.

Even if Danta dared to offer it, he wouldn't accept it.

After all, there is still a huge Taiqing Gate that needs to be taken care of.

"It can absorb soul power, that's quite interesting..." Xiao Yan looked at the girl who was cowering timidly behind Dan Xuan like a little rabbit and chuckled.

"You..." Danxuan was slightly taken aback.

He never expected that his sister's true nature would be exposed by this person with just a few words. He truly deserves to be called the number one alchemist among the younger generation on the continent...

“Indeed, my little sister has a special constitution. My Dan family actually hopes that she is not like this. After all, her soul power is too strong, to the point that it overshadows her body and makes it difficult for her to maintain. I'm afraid that if her cultivation can't keep up in time, the trouble will only be greater.”

Danxuan smiled wryly.

"I can handle it."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment.

"..."

Danxuan froze for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted: "What did you say?!"

"It's not difficult, I can handle it."

Xiao Yan chuckled and repeated.

A look of wild joy flashed across Dan Xuan's face. Who knew how much trouble the Dan family had been over this? Now that Elder Xiao said he had a solution, it couldn't be a lie...

"However, I've taken a liking to this girl."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

P.S.: The next chapter will be updated before noon tomorrow. I've been a bit busy these past two days and haven't been able to update much. I'll definitely post 10,000 words tomorrow, or else I'll give you a 100 RMB red envelope!

Chapter 207 Laozi Preaches, Xiao Yan Shows Off

"You..." Danxuan was stunned for a moment, somewhat amused and exasperated, but hesitated before speaking, "My little sister is not yet engaged. If Elder Xiao speaks, there is naturally no reason to disobey."

Xiao Yan's expression stiffened.

Her face twitched, and she glanced at Danxuan with some annoyance: "I meant taking on a disciple, not a marriage agreement."

Dan Xuan's face became even more embarrassed. He coughed violently a few times and apologized repeatedly, "Elder Xiao, please forgive me for misunderstanding, it was really..."

Xiao Yan glanced at Ye Xinlan, who was sitting not far away with her head down, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. He glared at her, annoyed. Ye Xinlan bit her red lips, her face flushed from laughing, and coughed lightly.

"Dan Chen, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, looked at the timid girl behind Dan Xuan, and spoke.

"I...am willing."

Dan Chen spoke softly, but nodded slightly.

It wasn't because of the look her elder brother from the Dan family gave her, but simply because of her powerful soul force, which allowed her to see souls of all colors. Some souls were a deep, dark purple, like an abyss, and in reality, they were mostly ruthless demons. Others had pure and bright minds, as clear as transparent jade. But the guy in front of her... had one side pale blue, as warm and smooth as jade, and the other side fiery red like a raging fire.

It smells exceptionally good.

Dan Chen sniffed her delicate nose and couldn't resist moving closer.

"Such keen spiritual power..."

Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. Just a moment ago, a faint sense of soul power swept over him, like a gentle breeze. If it weren't for his mid-stage Spirit Realm soul strength, he might not have been able to detect it.

This girl seemed to observe the world not with her eyes, but with her soul power. To be able to use her soul power to this extent was truly extraordinary.

"He has good talent and some intelligence."

The voice of Laozi echoed softly within the body.
