Chapter 469 Azure Lotus Soul-Condensing Pill

Hearing their words, Tian Leizi was even happier. He thought about what treasures he had that would suit them. The two little girls were so sweet-talking, and their words were so pleasant to hear.

In an instant, the two little girls held all sorts of treasures in their hands, all perfectly suited to their current appearance, and the two little girls responded sweetly with praise.

"Ahem!" Xuan Yi had no choice but to offer a toast twice, otherwise the three of them would really be caught in a vicious cycle of endless praise from one person and endless gift-giving from the other: "Are you all ready for the assessment?"

Upon hearing Xuan Yi's voice, all three stopped what they were doing. Xiao Ling and the other woman put their things away, and Tian Lei Zi's expression instantly turned serious again. "Everything is ready. We've been waiting for you to come. Let's go."

After Tian Leizi finished speaking, he led Xiao Tian and the others to the center of the platform, while Xiao Ling and the other held Xuan Yi's hand and looked around curiously.

In the center stood several elderly men, with Xuan Kongzi at the head of the group.

"Here you are, let me introduce you." Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Tian and said with a smile, pointing to the person next to him.

These elders were all core elders of the Pill Tower, each wearing an eight-pointed badge on their chest, signifying that they were eighth-grade alchemists. Even the Pill Tower's Grand Elder, Qiu Ling, was among them.

These people were also the review committee members for this assessment.

When the elders heard that Xiao Tian was the one taking the test, they were all very surprised. Where did this prodigy come from? He was taking the test for the eighth rank in his twenties. Thinking back to when they were in their twenties, they all sighed. We are all human, so why is there such a big difference?

Since Xiao Tian was brought by Xuan Yi, and the two seemed to have a very close relationship, they had a vague guess in their hearts, but dared not ask any further questions.

Moreover, the fact that the three guild leaders appeared together in the assessment surprised them greatly. Usually, unless there was an assessment for an eighth-grade alchemist, many core elders would come over to join in the fun.

Only the three chiefs will appear at the same time; for other levels of assessment, usually only one will appear.

These old men were all shrewd and experienced, so naturally they wouldn't say anything to question Xiao Tian. That would be no different from slapping the face of the three guild leaders.

Even if the other party fails the assessment this time, they still have at least the strength of a high-level seventh rank. A seventh rank in one's twenties is a rare find.

Xiao Tian exchanged pleasantries with them, instantly building a closer relationship with them.

Xuan Kongzi waved his hand, and all the elders of the Pill Tower stepped back and came to the judging seats. Xuan Yi also came here with two little girls.

The two little girls were very well-behaved in front of others, sitting upright in their chairs, already showing the demeanor of well-bred young ladies at such a young age.

……

Only Xiao Tian and Xuan Kongzi remained in the room: "Young friend Xiao Tian, ​​these are the prepared medicinal herbs and pill formulas. Please take a look and see if there are any problems?"

Xiao Tian opened the pill formula and glanced at it briefly.

The Azure Lotus Soul-Condensing Pill, a grade eight, low-level three-colored pill, can purify the soul and repair damaged souls, making it one of the most favored pills among many alchemists.

However, the refining process is indeed very complicated and not particularly easy to refine.

Actually, this pill was specially selected by Xuan Kongzi. It wasn't particularly difficult to make because he had a premonition that Xiao Tian was more than just a pharmacist.

This Azure Lotus Soul-Condensing Pill was what he planned to use to test Xiao Tian's true abilities.

“No problem.” Xiao Tian glanced at the medicinal herbs in front of him; all of them were in very good condition.

"Then you may begin." After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, his body gradually dissipated from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was in the judging panel. Xiao Tian immediately began to read the detailed data on the pill formula. This kind of pill formula was specially made for single absorption.

In fact, the Pill Tower provides medicinal materials and pill formulas for the assessment for two reasons: first, to ensure fairness and impartiality, and second, to leave a good impression on the examinees, who might have the opportunity to be recruited into the Pill Tower.

Xiao Tian touched the standard medicine cauldron in front of him. It was an eighth-grade medicine cauldron of extremely high quality, a rare treasure even in the outside world. As expected of the wealthiest force on the surface, they certainly had a grand scale.

With his right hand clenched loosely, a wisp of bright red flame danced in Xiao Tian's palm.

The elder on the judging panel suddenly widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

"This is... a strange fire?"

An elder exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief. He never expected that the young man would possess such a thing as a strange fire.

The others stared intently at the bright red flame in Xiao Tian's hand, with one of them constantly scrutinizing the flame.

"This temperature, this aura, it is indeed a strange fire, and even an incredibly powerful one, but it seems that there is no strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking that can match it."

"Could it be a newly emerged strange fire?"

"It's not impossible. The Strange Flame Ranking has been compiled for so long, it's normal for new Strange Flames to appear over the years. It's really a lucky opportunity."

"Indeed, when this strange fire is listed, he will become the first person to possess this flame, and he may even be remembered in history."

The elders discussed it with great curiosity. They also wanted to ask Xuan Yi if he knew anything about this strange fire, but given his status, no one chose to ask further, as it was his privacy.

Curiosity is fine, but you shouldn't ask too many questions. If you ask too many questions, others might think you have ulterior motives, which wouldn't be good.

Xuan Yi and Xiao Ling ignored their conversation, and they knew they couldn't possibly reveal anything to them.

"Alright, the assessment has begun. Keep quiet." Xuan Kongzi's calm voice slowly drifted over.

After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, the conversation stopped abruptly and fell silent instantly.

Xiao Tian was completely unaffected by the discussions outside. He flicked his finger, and flames entered the medicine cauldron through the fire inlet, warming it up and emitting a low hum.

His ten fingers moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, and one by one, the Purple Heart Lotus, Nine-Leaf Scrophularia, and Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Grass on the table were neatly and orderly thrown into the medicine cauldron, falling precisely into different positions within the cauldron.

He skillfully manipulated hand seals, controlling the different flame temperatures to roast various medicinal herbs.

Every movement was extremely perfect, full of a flowing, natural beauty.

Xuan Kongzi saw that Xiao Tian had actually extracted all the medicinal herbs at once. Although this kind of behavior is not uncommon in alchemy, it can only be done under the premise of being very skilled.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he was certain that Xiao Tian was still hiding his strength, which was definitely more than just the strength of this three-colored thunder pill. Based on this level of proficiency, he was at least capable of refining five-colored thunder pills.

He sighed inwardly, thinking how remarkable this young man was. If he were in the hands of an enemy force, he would have to be eliminated as soon as possible.
