Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 71 Late Stage of Mortal Realm, Rank 4 Alchemist

"Xun'er—"

"If the White Gang comes knocking on your door looking for trouble, don't hesitate, just take action—"

Xiao Yi turned to look at Xun'er and whispered a word of advice.

Xiao Yi knew that as the daughter of an ancient clan, Xun'er's strength was not as simple as a Dou Shi as she was now.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er smiled slightly and nodded, "I understand, Brother Xiao Yi—"

"Don't worry—"

Seeing Xun'er's familiar smile, Xiao Yi felt relieved.

After all, judging from Xun'er's condition, she was not affected by the harassment from the White Gang.

"Don't worry, kid—"

"I've personally warned those White Gang brats, so they probably won't be bothering you for a while—"

"You can come with me to the Alchemy Department without worry—"

Elder Huo stroked his gray beard and spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

He then followed Elder Huo to the Alchemy Department of the Canaan Inner Court.

Alchemists truly deserve to be the highest-ranking profession in the Dou Qi Continent.

The same applies to the Alchemy Department of the Inner Court of Canaan College.

Upon entering the area where the Alchemy Department is located, a magnificent and luxurious building immediately comes into view.

The architectural style of the inner courtyard that Xiao Yi had seen before was on a completely different level.

It must be said that the alchemy department has a very generous budget.

Xiao Yi followed Elder Huo to a medicine refining room.

Elder Huo then turned around and looked at Xiao Yi, saying in a deep voice, "Xiao Yi, according to what Old Man Liu said, your soul power far surpasses that of your peers—"

"I wonder if we can test it now—"

Xiao Yi nodded: "I wonder how the elder wishes to conduct the test—"

Elder Huo smiled slightly, then looked at the Soul Testing Stone beside him and said softly, "Then naturally we'll use the most primitive method—"

"Simply infuse your soul power into this soul-testing stone, and you will know the level of your soul power strength—"

Xiao Yi hummed in agreement, and without further ado, he slowly stepped forward and came to the Soul Testing Stone.

Xiao Yi slightly raised his hand to touch the Soul Testing Stone, as he activated the soul power within his body.

The originally dim soul-testing stone then emitted a faint light, which gradually grew brighter.

Elder Huo's expression changed from calm at the beginning to surprise at the end.

"Late-stage Mortal Soul Realm—?!"

"Old Liu really didn't lie to me! At such a young age, his soul power has already reached the late stage of the mortal realm!"

"Truly a once-in-a-million genius in alchemy!"

Elder Huo stepped forward excitedly, staring intently at Xiao Yi.

Their eyes were filled with the fervor of someone who had found a treasure!

"Xiao Yi, I've heard you've also studied some alchemy. May I ask what rank you are now?"

Elder Huo's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Xiao Yi was also slightly stunned. Soul power of the late mortal realm?

Although Xiao Yi possessed the soul cultivation technique taught by Xiao Xuan, he had not yet begun cultivating it due to the lack of flames.

But why has my soul power reached the late stage of the mortal realm?

"Little one, don't be confused—"

"Although the [Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique] is not a technique specifically for cultivating soul power, practicing it can still help improve one's soul power—"

As if he could read Xiao Yi's mind, Xiao Xuan suddenly spoke up to explain for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi finally came to his senses, looked at Elder Huo, and said softly, "Reporting to Elder—"

"I haven't specifically gone to the Alchemist Association for evaluation, so I don't know what rank I am now—"

Upon hearing this, Elder Huo nodded: "Has it never been rated?"

"Then I wonder what kind of flame you usually use to refine medicine?"

For alchemists, fire is also an extremely important element.

Therefore, one can also judge a pharmacist's skill level by observing the flames they use in alchemy.

Xiao Yi slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of red heart fire immediately appeared in his palm.

"Able to summon real fire without any external objects!"

"A fourth-grade alchemist!"

"Truly a peerless genius! After a century of development, Canaan Academy has finally produced an even more unparalleled alchemy prodigy!"

Upon seeing the inner fire in Xiao Yi's palm, Elder Huo's expression could only be described as "madness".

The ability to summon real fire without relying on external aids is the key to determining whether one has advanced to the fourth rank of alchemist.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yi's soul power and his ability to directly summon real fire both indicate that he meets all the requirements of a fourth-grade alchemist.

It's not surprising that Xiao Yi is a fourth-grade alchemist, but what excites Elder Huo so much is that he is already a fourth-grade alchemist at such a young age.

"Good lad, good lad!"

"I'm practically halfway to the grave, yet at my age I've encountered someone with such terrifying talent!"

"Come, demonstrate your alchemy skills to this old man!"

Elder Huo was quite excited at this moment.

With a wave of his hand, a black alchemy furnace, along with a formula for an elixir and the necessary medicinal materials, appeared before Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi picked up the prescription and glanced at it.

It was the most common and ordinary fourth-grade elixir, the Qi Gathering Powder formula.

Although it is a fourth-grade elixir, Qi Gathering Powder is arguably the most common fourth-grade elixir.

Every alchemist who has just advanced to the fourth rank will first choose to refine this Qi Gathering Powder.

For Xiao Yi, refining Qi Gathering Powder was not a difficult task.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a solid red flame leaped out from between his fingers.

The body of the cauldron was baked until it shone with a warm red glow.

"laugh-

'

The first thing to be put into the cauldron was chopped black lotus leaves. The leaves curled up instantly upon contact with the fire, and the dark green juice mixed with white steam rose up.

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and his soul power, like a fine net, steadily controlled the temperature inside the cauldron at a suitable level.

At the same time, control the flame size to avoid scorching the medicinal herbs.

As the bitter scent of the black lotus gradually fades.

Xiao Yi flicked his wrist, and the flesh of the snake saliva fruit, along with its glistening juice, fell into the cauldron, where it intertwined with the lingering fragrance of the black lotus to create a faint, bitter aroma.

Next, Xiao Yi's fingertip flame suddenly rose half an inch, and the dark blue water-attribute magic core was easily crushed by him, the powder scattering into the cauldron like shooting stars.

"Buzz—"

The medicine cauldron trembled slightly, and the medicinal power of the three herbs began to collide and merge under the catalysis of the flames, with the aroma of the herbs emanating from the cauldron's mouth fluctuating in intensity.

Clearly, we have reached a critical juncture in the condensation of the medicinal power.

However, Xiao Yi remained calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

Xiao Yi pushed his soul power to its limit, guiding the restless medicinal power to slowly condense into a pale white halo.

After a short while, the flames gradually died down.

The elixir is complete!

Elder Huo, who was standing to the side, was so surprised by Xiao Yi's skillful alchemy that he was speechless.

After all, it's no exaggeration to say that...

Judging solely from his skill in refining the Qi Gathering Powder, Xiao Yi's alchemy techniques were already comparable to those of the elders in the alchemy department.
