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

Chapter 57 What are you doing?!

After the assessment, Frank and Otto carefully examined the pills that Xiao Yan had refined.

The Fire Condensation Pill, about the size of a longan, was entirely crimson, with faint ripples resembling waves of fire spreading outwards, making it look quite peculiar.

"Crimson Pattern!"

"And all three pills have pill patterns!"

Looking at the fiery red ripples on the three pills, Frank and Otto clicked their tongues in amazement.

The others who participated in the assessment looked at the black-robed youth, who was much younger than them, in shock upon hearing the words of the two presidents.

It should be noted that such patterns usually only appear on elixirs when their color and luster reach their peak.

Compared to this young man, they, who hadn't even managed to refine a finished pill, were truly...

Seeing the dejected group, Frank smiled and offered words of comfort.

"Hehe, don't be discouraged. If it doesn't work this year, then try next year. Young people, you may not have much else, but you have plenty of time."

Hearing Chairman Frank's words, the group regained some confidence and slowly left the hall.

"Someone's coming out?" Seeing the examinees walking out of the door, Lin Fei jumped down from the counter and began searching earnestly among the crowd.

Even the slightly aloof Xue Mei tensed up at this moment. If Xiao Yan came out now, there would be no point in talking about the second-grade alchemist assessment.

Little Fairy Doctor had quite a bit of confidence in Xiao Yan and continued to wait patiently.

When they finally failed to see Xiao Yan's conspicuous black-robed figure, Lin Fei and Xue Mei couldn't help but gasp.

This is clearly a success!

Even if Xiao Yan fails the second-grade alchemist assessment later.

A sixteen-year-old first-grade alchemist is an extremely rare find in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

It should be noted that even Gu He, the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire, was already nineteen years old when he became a first-grade alchemist.

Jingying Linfei walked up to Little Fairy Doctor and asked with a smile, "Little sister, what's your name? I remember you came with Xiao Yan."

Linfei had long, black hair, which was tied up with a purple ribbon and hung down to her delicate buttocks.

The gentle patting of her round, perky buttocks produced a soft, low sound, yet it was like a cat's claws, constantly scratching at one's heart.

What came into view was a pair of proud, full breasts. After listening to the Lin sisters discussing Xiao Yan for a long time, Little Fairy Doctor coldly asked, "What is it?"

"So wary, it's like you're trying to steal my treasure from me." Lin Fei smiled slightly, as if she had discovered something interesting.

"What is your relationship with Xiao Yan?"

"Sister? Doesn't look like it."

Linfei shook her head to herself, her bright eyes darting around before she uttered a startling question: "Could she be a child bride?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face immediately flushed red.

Even Xue Mei's beautiful eyes widened slightly for a moment. Even if she was a child bride, there was still a significant age difference between her and Xiao Yan.

"I...I'm just Xiao Yan's assistant." Fearing Lin Fei would continue to make wild guesses, Little Fairy Doctor helplessly explained her identity.

Little Fairy Doctor brushed past Lin Fei, avoiding this audacious fellow.

With a deep gaze, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the tightly closed door again. In fact, she was not quite clear about her relationship with Xiao Yan.

They only met yesterday.

"Are you really going to continue taking the second-grade alchemist exam?" Frank and Otto glanced at Xiao Yan's information, looked up at Xiao Yan's youthful face, and asked in deep voices.

Xiao Yan nodded emphatically: "I heard that after reaching a certain rank in the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire, one can enjoy a privilege of exchange. Moreover, the higher the rank, the more rights one can enjoy."

"What do you need?" Frank asked curiously.

Xiao Yan rattled off a string of items like popping beans.

"Blood Lotus Essence, Ice Spirit Flame Grass, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and the magic core of a third-tier magical beast,"

Upon hearing the names Xiao Yan uttered, Frank and Otto were visibly taken aback, then exclaimed in astonishment, "Apart from the third-tier magic core, any one of these things is an extremely rare and precious natural treasure."

Xiao Yan shrugged. If it were something ordinary, he would have stopped by now and wouldn't need to continue the assessment.

Frank pondered for a moment and said, "If you can pass the second-grade alchemist assessment, we will help you find information about these items."

"However, to pass the assessment for a second-grade alchemist, one must not only refine second-grade pills, but also reach the Dou Shi level in strength!"

Frank looked at the little guy with curiosity.

It's one thing to have extraordinary talent in alchemy, but can one's cultivation in battle qi also far surpass that of ordinary people?

He and Otto, his two future disciples, are only at the Battle Qi stage right now...

Xiao Yan took off the Xuan Heavy Ruler and casually tossed it to Frank.

"What are you doing?" Otto shouted, bewildered.

Frank instinctively reached out to catch it, but his expression immediately changed drastically. How could this thing be so incredibly heavy! And it was even suppressing my battle aura!

With a loud shout, Frank's powerful battle qi surged forth, causing his alchemist robes to billow and rustle even without wind.

After careful consideration, Frank finally managed to firmly grasp the immensely heavy Xuanzhong Ruler.

"You've been carrying this thing on your back the whole time?" Frank looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.

As a powerful cultivator at the Douling level, he suffered a considerable loss the first time he tried to wield it.

Even knowing the special nature of this thing, carrying it for an extended period of time will definitely be a considerable challenge.

Otto also noticed the strangeness of the giant black ruler: "Is something wrong?"

"Try it yourself," Frank said, tossing the hot potato away.

Otto channeled some of his battle aura and, prepared, raised his hand to catch the attack.

Frank's lips curled into a slight smile; this thing had the effect of suppressing battle aura...

Upon acquiring the Xuanzhong Ruler, Otto felt his fighting spirit falter. Faced with this incredibly heavy ruler, he was momentarily unable to muster any strength.

Xuan Zhongchi's head slammed to the ground with a thud. Otto was startled and shouted at Frank, "What are you doing?!"

"Xiao Yan does indeed possess the strength of a Dou Shi, so we can prepare to begin the assessment," Frank said calmly.

"Battle Master level strength?" Otto looked at the black ruler in his hand, then immediately understood. "What a terrifying kid!"

"Here you go!" After preparing himself, Otto lifted his hand and tossed the Xuan Heavy Ruler to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan casually reached out and grasped the handle of the Xuanzhong Ruler, then smoothly placed it back behind his back.

His alchemy skills were already phenomenal, and his battle aura strength was terrifying as well. Otto smiled wryly, "What a discouraging fellow... Now I'm increasingly curious, which master could have taught such an outstanding student?"

With the assessment criteria for second-grade alchemists complete, Xiao Yan began refining a second-grade pill for the first time.
