Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 84 Assessment

Xiao Li stood up. Today he was going to take the alchemist badge exam. He himself also had an alchemist badge, a fifth-grade alchemist badge issued by the Alchemist Guild.

In terms of prestige, the Alchemist Guild's badge is nowhere near as valuable as the Dan Tower's badge.

"Master's wife, let's go take the assessment." Xiao Li had never been to Saint Pill City before. Saint Pill City was ridiculously large, and Xiao Li felt that he would easily get lost if he walked around.

"Okay, let's go." Su Wanyin led the way, with Mang Tianchi following closely behind. He knew that Saint Pill City was a mixed bag, with not only participants but also the five major families of the Pill Tower.

Bu Tianchi knew all too well those arrogant alchemists who, despite having little skill, acted like they were second to none. Bu Tianchi wanted to punch them every time he saw them.

Bu Tianchi suddenly thought of something: "Xiao... cough cough kid, after you finish the Pill Tower assessment, you can go to the Alchemist Trade Fair. There are probably a lot of good stuff there."

Xiao Li nodded: "Understood."

Su Wanyin led Xiao Li around for nearly ten minutes before finally stopping outside an ancient stone tower in the outer region of Saint Pill City. At this moment, countless alchemists were constantly coming and going outside the stone tower, and the noisy commotion turned into waves of sound that spread outwards.

"This is a branch of the Pill Tower, similar to the branches of the alchemist guilds in the empires on the continent," Su Wanyin explained to Xiao Li.

"The western part of the tower is the trading area, where many alchemists trade the herbs or pills they need... However, there are generally not many good items here."

In two months, there will be a special trade fair in Saint Pill City. This trade fair is for alchemists to trade with each other. Only alchemists who have been certified by the Pill Tower or Dou Zun powerhouses are qualified to participate.

We can go there; they often find many rare things there.

Su Wanyin truly lived up to her title as the Master of the Sound Valley; she possessed an extremely detailed understanding of the Pill Tower.

Xiao Li frowned as he looked at the long queue. He hated queuing the most.

Su Wanyin ignored the crowd and walked directly to the front. As the master of Yin Gu, she naturally had some authority, and even the president of the Dan Tower would give her some face.

Not long after, Su Wanyin brought Xiao Li to the special testing room of the branch tower.

The room was quite spacious and extremely quiet, with no noise from the outside world entering. At this moment, there were about a dozen people standing in the room, and their gazes were fixed on Xiao Li and his companions.

"Valley Master Su!"

Soon, these people recognized the veiled beauty.

Just then, an old man dressed in a purple alchemist's robe came to Su Wanyin, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Valley Master Su, I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

"No need, Steward Zhou, please begin." Su Wanyin had no interest in talking to them any longer.

The steward surnamed Zhou was not angry. After all, the person in front of him was the Valley Master of one of the Three Valleys, and also Su Wanyin, a famous beauty in Zhongzhou. It was already an honor to be able to receive her.

Deacon Zhou looked at Xiao Li, already knowing that the person from Yin Gu who came for the assessment this time was a young man.

"Young man, what level of badge are you planning to apply for?"

Xiao Li: "What's the highest level you can pass here?"

Deacon Zhou was also taken aback, not expecting this young man to ask such a question: "Seventh-grade high-level! Because I am only a seventh-grade mid-level alchemist."

Xiao Li: "Then let's take the intermediate seventh-grade exam."

Inside the room, the atmosphere became unusually quiet because of Xiao Li's earlier words. Countless gazes stared at him in astonishment, which gradually dissipated after a moment, transforming into a few sneers...

However, they kept their voices low, after all, the Valley Master of Yin Valley was here, and even though their family was powerful, they were no match for Yin Valley, one of the Three Valleys.

However, no matter how low they lowered their voices, everyone present could hear them. Xiao Li frowned, then grinned.

An extremely strong soul fluctuation emanated from it, causing those who had been mocking him to fall to the ground.

"Soul power at the peak of the mortal realm!" Deacon Zhou exclaimed in surprise. No wonder this young man asked him what level he could take the exam. This kind of soul power is enough to refine a peak seventh-grade pill.

Xiao Li glanced at the person on the ground who had been mocking but was now filled with fear, and sneered, "A frog in a well!"

"Young friend, come with me. I will personally test you." Deacon Zhou's tone was now quite respectful.

"Thank you very much, Deacon Zhou," Xiao Li said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Deacon Zhou led Xiao Li into the Heavenly-level room, which was a special room for those taking the seventh-rank exam.

Time flowed on and on, and as time went on, the other families hoped that Xiao Li would fail so that they could vent their anger!

The door to the Heavenly-level room opened, and Xiao Li walked out, wearing a Dan Tower-certified alchemist badge on his chest.

The badge is dark in color, with flames swirling around it. Within the flames is a colossal tower reaching the sky, and on the tower, seven dazzling purple-gold stars shimmer, though the seventh star is now slightly dim.

Those guys who hoped for Xiao Li's failure all had their mouths agape.

Xiao Li ignored them and walked straight towards Su Wanyin and Mang Tianchi's location.

Deacon Zhou sighed, "A mid-level seventh rank is too easy for him. If he hadn't been so opportunistic, he would probably be at least a high-level seventh rank, and perhaps even a peak seventh rank."

After Xiao Li completed the assessment, he left. He didn't care about the family members and had no idea that Xiao Li's success had caused these so-called alchemy geniuses to have a mental breakdown, and most of them failed the assessment.

Since the alchemist trade fair wouldn't open for some time, Xiao Li wandered around Saint Pill City, hoping to find some good deals.

As the Dan Conference draws ever closer, the number of people in Saint Pill City is becoming increasingly staggering. Not only during the day, but also at night, the noise is deafening.

Naturally, it was a place teeming with all sorts of people from all walks of life, and some strange and unusual things circulated there, including some genuine treasures.

Of course, this is assuming your eyesight is good enough!

Xiao Li found an ancient-looking disc, but he couldn't tell what it was. His soul power penetration was useless, and he didn't know if burning it with a strange fire would be effective. However, in front of so many people, Xiao Li wouldn't reveal his strange fire.

Xiao Li felt that the disc was very old and might contain some good stuff, but the method was wrong. Perhaps he could take it back to Su Wanyin or the dean to take a look.

Then I browsed the trading area in the outer realms and found nothing particularly special. I bought some medicinal herbs for making pills, but nothing else of note.

"What kind of pills will be refined at this pill refining competition? With my current cultivation level of a six-star Dou Huang, I probably can't refine an eighth-grade pill, but I have a 30-40% chance of refining a peak seventh-grade pill."

The main problem is that my battle qi can't keep up. Before the Pill Gathering starts, I can only raise my cultivation to the Seven-Star Dou Huang level at most. Alas, what a pity!

If I had the cultivation level of a Grandmaster, perhaps I could refine eighth-grade pills?

Xiao Li shook his head. He was only twenty-two years old, a six-star Dou Huang with the cultivation of a seventeenth-grade alchemist. He was definitely a standout among the younger generation, but Xiao Li felt that he was still not strong enough.
