Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 56: The Trial of Enlightenment, Three Flowers Gathering Fire Liquid

The woman who walked in through the gate was tall and slender, with clear eyes and brows as bright as a cold spring on a snow-capped mountain, a delicate face, and long, slender eyebrows.

Wearing a tight-fitting silver dress, the silver clothing complemented her warm, jade-like skin, giving the woman an undeniable, unique, metallic, and icy charm.

What surprised people the most was that this woman in silver robes actually had long, waist-length silver hair.

This silver color wasn't the pale silver that mutated due to some kind of illness; it was as soft as silver threads, drifting and swaying, which gave the woman in the silver robe a strange allure.

The silver-robed woman, Xue Mei, slowly walked up, passing by Xiao Yan without glancing at him, and headed straight for Lin Fei.

"Whatever you want, I'm going to start cultivating my Battle Qi. When you reach the ninth level of Battle Qi, you might be able to use the Qi Gathering Powder I made."

Lin Fei puffed out her nose and gave a light snort: "If you're not fully awake, you might as well sleep for a few days. You can't become a real alchemist by always daydreaming."

Xiao Yan had no interest in listening to the two girls bickering. He pulled Little Fairy Doctor along and went to the counter to register.

After giving some basic information, he was led by the woman in green, Ya Han, to a large door on the side.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right out," Xiao Yan instructed Little Fairy Doctor before entering the gate guarded by four nine-star Dou Zhe.

"Did he really go for the assessment?" Lin Fei stopped arguing with Xue Mei and stared in astonishment at Xiao Yan's retreating figure.

Xue Mei then noticed Xiao Yan, and pursed her lips: "At most, I'll just familiarize myself with the alchemist assessment process."

"Sister Yahan, what was that person's name?" Linfei asked curiously as she ran towards the woman in blue.

"Xiao Yan is sixteen years old. He's about to complete the second-grade alchemist assessment." Ya Han smiled slightly, not hiding anything from the city lord's daughter.

At the age of sixteen, wanting to take the exam to become a second-grade alchemist is unprecedented in the Jia Ma Guild!

Linfei and Xue Mei frowned slightly.

If a sixteen-year-old wants to become a true alchemist, then he must become a fighter before the age of fifteen, or even fourteen.

Under the guidance of a mentor, it takes another year of study to gain a basic grasp of alchemy.

Actually, Xiao Yan had already overstated his age by several years.

However, due to years of cultivating his body with the power of fighting spirit, Xiao Yan has grown much faster than the average person, which is why it is difficult for others to see any clues.

Inside the main hall, Xiao Yan quickly used his soul power to read the prescription in his hand.

The Fire Condensation Pill can enhance the fire-attribute battle qi within a novice alchemist, allowing the transformed flames to reach higher temperatures, thereby increasing the speed and efficacy of alchemy.

After memorizing the prescription, Xiao Yan activated the Xuanhuang Flame and began refining the medicine.

Compared to the pale yellow flames of the people around him, Xiao Yan's dark yellow flames truly stood out.

"What kind of cultivation technique is this little guy practicing?" Frank asked, frowning as he looked at Xiao Yan.

Even as the president of the Alchemist Guild who had cultivated a high-level Xuan-rank technique, he wouldn't have been able to generate such a blazing flame during his Dou Zhe period!

Otto glared at Xiao Yan, who was rapidly throwing medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

"The flame quality is good, but he's been too reckless. Does he think he's some kind of fourth-grade alchemist who can condense solid fire like us, capable of refining the medicinal power of herbs so quickly? Just wait for the cauldron to explode."

Refining the Fire Condensation Pill was a piece of cake for Xiao Yan.

However, even though the alchemist's guild had completed the process, it was impossible for them to immediately begin the assessment for him as a second-grade alchemist.

The Alchemist Guild had prepared three sets of medicinal herbs for him, so he might as well refine them all at once, so he wouldn't have to finish too early and just stand there blankly.

In the hall of the Alchemist Guild, Lin Fei leaped up and sat on a nearby counter. Her long legs, visible beneath her purple robe, swayed slightly, creating an alluring, snow-white curve. She muttered, "Xue Mei, do you think that guy will succeed?"

"How would I know? I've never even seen his face." Xue Mei didn't leave at this moment, her gaze fixed on the closed assessment door.

"We thought our conditions were already incredibly favorable, but this guy who suddenly appeared beat us to it and even wants to be tested as a second-grade alchemist. This is just too discouraging."

Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Xue Mei's usually indifferent face. She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "It is indeed quite a blow."

Little Fairy Doctor thought to herself: If you knew that Xiao Yan was almost as good as a fourth-grade alchemist, I wonder what you would think.

Inside the alchemist assessment hall, on several stone platforms illuminated by purple light shields, the violent medicinal power exploded in the cauldrons due to the alchemists' mistakes.

Fortunately, the light shield can isolate sound; otherwise, it would have caused a chain reaction.

Seeing that only two people were left still persisting in refining medicine, Frank smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh, everyone knows that alchemists have a noble status, but who knows how difficult it is to become an alchemist?"

"Why hasn't this kid exploded the cauldron yet?" Otto asked in surprise as he looked at Xiao Yan, who had thrown all three portions of medicinal herbs onto the stone platform.

Frank speculated, "Could it be a water-attribute pill? The ingredients for this type of pill are usually quite mild."

Just as the two old men were whispering to each other, Xiao Yan waved his hand and took out three bright red pills from the medicine cauldron, putting them into a jade bottle.

"Three pills were refined in one go!" Otto and Frank's eyes widened like saucers.

Even for these two fourth-grade alchemists, they would have to be extra careful if they wanted to refine multiple pills at the same time.

But this little guy is currently taking the first-grade alchemist assessment.

The subordinate next to him flipped through the information and said, "This person is named Xiao Yan. He's here to take the exam for a second-grade alchemist. He must have some ability."

It's more than just having some ability! Even Dan Wang Guhe would probably find it difficult to train such an outstanding student.

Frank pressed further, "Who is the teacher?"

"The record only mentions an old apothecary, without a detailed letter of introduction," the subordinate replied.

"Old Medicine Master..." Frank and Otto both murmured, their minds racing as they searched for the answer.

Although Xiao Yan had finished refining three pills, the speed was still too fast, and there was still a considerable amount of time left before the end.

Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes as he refined the fire-attribute Condensing Fire Pill. His Xuanhuang Flame seemed to have grown slightly, allowing him to make a breakthrough.

The purple flame was initially very weak, but it gradually grew stronger after being further nurtured by the accompanying purple crystal source, reaching a level that allowed the Burning Technique to evolve.

If he had a fire-attribute potion as pure as the accompanying amethyst source, his Xuanhuang Flame could grow even faster.

[You recall the properties of the Fire Condensation Pill and other fire-attribute medicinal substances, and combined this with the characteristics of the Xuanhuang Flame, you have an epiphany; you have comprehended the formula "Three Flowers Gathering Fire Liquid."]

【The "Three Flowers Gathering Fire Elixir" is a special medicinal liquid refined from three kinds of flowers and herbs with strong fire attributes and a second-tier fire attribute magic core. Ordinary fighters should not consume too much, otherwise they may easily ignite themselves and perish.】
