Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

If a fifth-grade alchemist doesn't have a special status, they can take the test in the ordinary testing room outside.

In front of Xiao Yang stood four ancient-style gates.

Above each gate is an ancient-style character: “天地玄黄” (Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow).

Liu Qin led Xiao Yang directly to the front of the Heavenly-level room.

"Young friend Xiao Yang, please come in."

"Next, I will conduct the assessment for you."

With that, Liu Qin led Xiao Yang into the Heavenly-level room.

The room in the Heavenly Rank was very large.

There are several medicine cauldrons inside.

Xiao Yang could tell at a glance that these medicine cauldrons were extraordinary.

These medicine cauldrons are all eight-mouthed!

It's important to know that in the Dou Qi Continent, the more fire outlets a medicine cauldron has, the better.

Except for some special medicine cauldrons.

Besides the medicine cauldron, there were several other formations around it.

Xiao Yang took a look and saw that the presence of these formations could calm the mind and also had a slight effect of gathering energy.

There were also several special symbols on the floor of the room.

Just then, Liu Qin spoke up.

"Young friend Xiao Yang, let me first tell you about the content of the seventh-grade advanced alchemist assessment."

"First, we need to check if your soul power meets the standard."

As he spoke, Liu Qin manipulated something on a wall, and the wall immediately cracked open.

There is a stone tablet inside.

There is a round mirror in the center of the stone tablet.

"This is a tool used to test the strength of one's soul power."

"All you need to do is place your hand on the stone tablet and infuse it with your soul power."

"The round mirror will display a value based on the strength of your soul power."

"A score above 500 is passing."

As he spoke, Liu Qin walked up to the stone tablet and gave a demonstration.

Xiao Yang could feel Liu Qin's soul power flowing into the stone tablet through his arm.

The next moment, a number appeared on the round mirror in the center of the stone tablet—759.

"Like this."

Liu Qin pointed to the round mirror and said.

"I am a mid-level seventh-grade alchemist, and my soul power value is 759."

"So five hundred shouldn't be a problem for you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang nodded without saying a word and stepped forward to place his hand on the stone tablet.

Immediately afterwards, terrifying spiritual power flowed through his arm and into the stone tablet.

Liu Qin looked at the stone tablet with some curiosity.

He was very curious about just how strong Xiao Yang's soul power was.

He had sensed that Xiao Yang's soul had likely broken through to the Spirit Realm!

That's why he took the initiative to show himself and was quite respectful.

As Xiao Yang channeled his soul power, a number lit up on the round mirror—9678!

"hiss--"

Upon seeing this number, Liu Qin was so shocked that he gasped.

He knew that Xiao Yang's soul had reached the Spirit Realm, and the value was very likely to exceed two thousand or even three thousand.

But I never expected it to reach over nine thousand!

He knew exactly what that meant.

This means that the boy in front of us, who appears to be only about twenty years old, has already reached the Heavenly Realm Soul level!

It should be known that only those whose soul realm reaches the Heavenly Realm can refine ninth-grade pills!

Xiao Yang looks to be only about twenty years old.

Liu Qin couldn't guarantee whether this was his real age.

After all, once you reach the Dou Zong level, it's very difficult to continue aging.

This is especially true when one makes a breakthrough at a young age.

However, since I addressed the other person as "young friend," they didn't object.

This suggests that the other person is indeed likely around twenty years old!

He won't be older than thirty!

An eighth-grade alchemist who is not yet thirty years old.

This means that Xiao Yang has a very high probability of becoming a ninth-grade alchemist!

As for whether Xiao Yang was an eighth-grade alchemist, Liu Qin had no doubt about it.

At this moment, his attitude became even more respectful.

"Your soul power is relatively high, so the second test, soul control, does not need to be tested."

"Let's move on to the third item."

"The third task is to refine a high-grade seventh-rank pill."

"I can provide you with three prescriptions; you can choose one yourself."

As he spoke, Liu Qin took out three scrolls.

Xiao Yang was also quite amazed.

As expected of the Dan Tower, they are indeed very wealthy and powerful.

Formulas for high-grade seventh-rank pills can also be provided freely.

You can still make a selection!

Chapter 363 Seventh Rank Advanced Assessment!

"After you choose the prescription, I will give you the corresponding materials."

"There are three portions in total, and there is no time limit."

"You can pass the test by refining just one pill."

Liu Qin pointed to the three scrolls in his hand and said.

In fact, the most important part of the alchemist assessment is this final test.

The first two tests are actually used to filter out those alchemists who are not skilled enough.

If you know you have the ability to pass the advanced seventh-grade assessment, then the first two assessments will be very easy to pass.

The reason for these two tests is mainly to avoid wasting medicinal materials.

After all, the medicinal materials for a high-grade seventh-rank pill are extremely valuable.

Xiao Yang didn't even glance at the names of the pills, and simply picked a scroll at random.

He opened it and saw that it was the formula for the Nine Yuan Turtle Breathing Pill.

The Nine Yuan Turtle Breathing Pill is a very special kind of elixir.

After taking it, one will enter a state of suspended animation.

The medicinal properties within the body will gradually repair the injuries without anyone noticing.

Basically, as long as the heart and head are okay, the patient can be kept alive for the time being.

Moreover, the period of apparent death can last for a month!

You can wake up at any time during this period.

Unless the enemy's cultivation level is significantly higher than one's own, and their soul power is strong enough to reach the advanced level of the Spirit Realm or above.

Otherwise, it would likely go undetected.

It's important to know that, apart from alchemists, for a soul to reach the Spirit Realm or higher, it's very likely that it needs to break through to the Half-Saint or even the Battle Saint level.

Therefore, it is still very difficult for people to detect that someone is in a state of apparent death after taking Jiuyuan Guixi Dan.

This pill is quite difficult to make, even among the high-grade seventh rank pills.

But Xiao Yang didn't care.

He has refined even more difficult Life-Devouring Pills.

One Nine Yuan Turtle Breath Pill is nothing to him.

"This one will do."

Xiao Yang only glanced at the name and effects of the Nine Yuan Turtle Breath Pill before returning the formula to Liu Qin.

In any case, Xiao Yang had already memorized all the recipes for first to eighth grade pills.

Seeing that Xiao Yang hadn't even looked at the pill formula in detail, he directly chose the Nine Yuan Turtle Breath Pill.

Liu Qin was not surprised.

Because the Nine Yuan Turtle Breathing Pill is a relatively common high-grade seventh-rank pill.
