Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 82 The Temptation of the Soul Technique!

The first-grade assessment continued, and everyone was focused on refining the pills in their hands.

Linfei and Xuemei also noticed Xiao Yan at this moment, especially the ball of flame in his hand.

"I didn't expect this guy to have beast fire. He's really lucky. I wonder what rank his teacher is?" Lin Fei thought to herself.

Xue Mei was also slightly surprised, but she wasn't too upset, since everyone's opportunities are different.

The assessment ended quickly. This time, a total of nine alchemists, including Xiao Yan and his two companions, passed the assessment for first-grade alchemists.

Otto and Frank nodded with satisfaction, saying, "It seems our Empire's Alchemists' Guild has gained a few more promising talents!"

However, Xiao Yan stepped forward and said, "My lords, I am preparing for the assessment of a second-grade alchemist!"

Otto and Frank were both somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected that this young man wasn't satisfied with just being a first-grade alchemist, but wanted to be a second-grade one as well.

Frank chuckled and said, "Little one, you have to take things one step at a time. Becoming a second-grade alchemist is much harder than becoming a first-grade one. Are you really going to take the exam?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded.

Otto asked from the side, "How confident are you?"

"Fifty percent, I guess!" Xiao Yan said.

Otto and Frank exchanged a glance, while Xue Mei and Lin Fei were clearly surprised that this guy would also be taking the second-grade alchemist exam.

Frank nodded and said, "Okay, then come with me."

Otto and Frank waved to Xiao Yan. The assessment for the second rank was conducted in a private room.

Even if Linfei and Xuemei wanted to go up and take a look, they were not allowed to.

Xiao Yan quickly passed the assessment and obtained the badge of a second-grade alchemist. Frank and Otto were amazed by his talent in alchemy.

The status of a second-grade alchemist in the empire is far lower than that of a first-grade alchemist, as their benefits and treatment are quite different.

Soon, Frank and Otto brought Xiao Yan, Xue Mei, and Lin Fei to the office.

Otto looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Little guy, your talent for alchemy is remarkable. At your age, to have achieved the rank of second-grade alchemist makes you undoubtedly the second person in the entire history of the Imperial Alchemist Guild in the last hundred years!"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "The second person? Then the first person, is it Pill King Gu He?"

Otto slowly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's the little princess of the empire. She is the disciple of the vice president of our Alchemist Guild, or rather, she should be the elder of the Pill Hall now."

"Hehe, when Her Highness the little princess obtained the title of First-Grade Alchemist, she was only eleven years old, and now that she has become a Second-Grade Alchemist, she is only thirteen years old!" Frank said from the side.

When the guild records alchemists, it will record all this information, and all alchemist branches can view it.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened slightly as he asked, "Eleven years old, first rank; thirteen years old, second rank?"

"That's right. Now that our Alchemist Guild has been transformed into the Pill Hall, we've gained some resources, and we're currently short of people. Young brother, how about you come with us to the capital?" Otto said to Xiao Yan.

"The headquarters of the Pill Hall is in the capital?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

Xiao Yan knew that the Yunlan Sect was located in the capital, as was the Nalan family.

However, since the Yunlan Sect has now disbanded, Xiao Yan thought to himself, "Going along to see what's going on with the Yunlan Sect isn't such a bad idea!"

"When do you plan to go to the capital?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at them.

Otto said, "Of course, the sooner the better. If you're willing to join us, we can wait a little longer. What do you think?"

Xiao Yan said, "I need to go to the Tagor Desert; it will probably take three to six months!"

Frank frowned. "What are you going to do there? It's a desolate place; even the snake people have left!"

Xiao Yan said, "I have two older brothers who live in Mo City, near the edge of the Tagor Desert. I want to go and see them. I also have some personal matters to attend to."

"Half a year is too long. According to the original plan of the Alchemist Guild, there will be an Alchemist Conference in six months. But now that the guild has been reorganized, we need to discuss the time again. We need to go to the capital as soon as possible to see the guild leader." Frank shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "That's a pity. I probably won't be able to travel to the capital with you two!"

"Well, I was originally planning to let the president meet you. If you could join the Pill Hall, maybe you could get the Soul Technique!" Frank sighed.

Xiao Yan had initially let the matter drop, but Yao Lao suddenly said, "Wait, ask that person. This Soul Technique is a method for cultivating the soul!"

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, somewhat astonished: "The soul can cultivate?"

The old alchemist said, "Nonsense, it's just that the alchemists of the Northwest Continent seem to know absolutely nothing about these things. Compared to the alchemists of the Central Continent, that's the difference!"

"Stop talking nonsense and ask quickly!" Yao Lao urged.

Xiao Yan hurriedly asked, "May I ask, sir, is this Soul Technique a method for cultivating the soul?"

Frank paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, it seems you have some knowledge of this area!"

Xiao Yan hadn't expected that the Soul Technique Frank mentioned was actually a method for cultivating the soul.

The old physician exclaimed in amazement, "Incredible! Incredible! It really is a technique for cultivating the soul. I never imagined that such a treasure would appear in the Northwest Continent!"

Xiao Yan asked, "Is this soul cultivation technique very powerful?"

"Of course, the soul power of an alchemist is different from that of ordinary people. We divide it into four levels: Mortal, Spirit, Heavenly Emperor, and Celestial. It is already difficult for ordinary people and alchemists to reach the peak of the Mortal realm!"

"And if you want to break through to a higher level, such as the seventh rank or above, then cultivating your soul power is indispensable!"

"Anyway, this soul cultivation technique is extremely important for alchemists. If the Imperial Prison really has this soul cultivation technique, I think you need to make a trip to the capital!" the old alchemist said slowly.

Xiao Yan asked, "But didn't Teacher say that there are strange flames in the Tagor Desert?"

"If we can't find the strange fire in the Tagor Desert within three months, we'll go to the capital. You can talk to those two people there!" Yao Lao said.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my teacher."

Xiao Yan then looked at Otto and Frank and said, "Let's meet in the capital three months from now, shall we?"

Otto asked, "You're going to the capital by yourself three months from now?"

"That's right. Anyway, Blackrock City is only a few days away from the capital by flying magical beast. We can meet in the capital then, so it won't interfere with either of us!" Xiao Yan said.

Frank nodded and said, "I think that's a good idea. This way, we can head to the capital as soon as possible, and I can bring Linfei and Xuemei to the Pill Hall to learn and exchange ideas with the president and the others!"

Otto said, "Since you've agreed, then naturally I can too."

Xiao Yan said, "In that case, I have one more request!"

Frank said, "You tell me!"

"I want the Pill Hall to do me a favor. I need the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and I'm willing to trade something for it!" Xiao Yan said.
