Chapter 397

"Alright then! Please follow me to the Heaven-Tier Testing Room for the test!" Han Li saw Xiao Yan didn't want to test for a higher level and was also quite happy in his heart; after all, being able to personally host Xiao Yan's alchemist assessment was also an honor.

After all, with Xiao Yan's talent, only the Cao Family Enchantress and the one from the Dan Family could compare with him. Such a person had a very high hope of becoming a giant of the Pill Tower in the future.

After Xiao Yan followed Han Li into the Heaven-Tier Testing Room, the others in the room looked at each other. Although they felt a bit uncomfortable, Xiao Yan's strength was there! With the Bai Family old woman in front, they didn't dare to say anything more.

As the door of the Heaven-Tier Testing Room closed, everyone's hearts in the room were lifted. Although Xiao Yan testing for a seventh-rank intermediate alchemist looked a bit low, that was only relative; after all, the highest-level alchemist in the room, Han Li, was only seventh-rank low-level.

Under the gaze of the crowd, only ten minutes passed before the Heaven-Tier door was opened again.

The people in the room saw the door opened so quickly and were slightly stunned, because this meant Xiao Yan had failed; after all, even an eighth-rank alchemist couldn't refine a seventh-rank pill in ten minutes.

At this time, a look of mockery also appeared on the face of the Bai Family old woman. So what if his strength was strong? As long as their Bai Family was willing, even those Dou Zun experts would flock to them, and they wouldn't be afraid of taking down a Xiao Yan.

However, when Xiao Yan walked out of the room, everyone was stunned, because there was an extra badge on Xiao Yan's chest.

The badge was dark gold as a whole, with flames swirling on it, and there was a giant tower in the flames. Seven purple-gold dazzling stars flickered on the tower, but these stars looked a bit dim.

"With Mr. Xiao Yan's alchemy, this badge is truly a bit mismatched!" Han Li, who had seen Xiao Yan refine medicine, looked at the badge on Xiao Yan's chest and said.

"Hehe, seventh-rank intermediate is enough!" Xiao Yan said indifferently. If it were a ninth-rank badge, Xiao Yan would consider making a special trip, but if it were only eighth-rank, it wasn't worth Xiao Yan's effort.

Hearing this, Han Li also nodded and then turned to smile at Ye Zhong: "The Ye Family has invited a good helper! I think the Ye Family will achieve good results in this test."

"Haha! Many thanks for the auspicious words!" Ye Zhong bowed. Xiao Yan was participating in the test as the Ye Family's son-in-law. Once Xiao Yan became famous, the Ye Family would return to their former glory.

After obtaining the badge, Xiao Yan didn't continue to stay and returned directly to the Ye Family with Ye Zhong.

After returning to the Ye Family, everyone saw an extra badge on Xiao Yan's chest. Looking closely, they discovered it was only seventh-rank intermediate. Although they felt it was a bit mismatched, they didn't say anything more; after all, as soon as the Alchemist Grand Meeting was over, Xiao Yan's true strength would be exposed to everyone.

There were still a few days before the five great families' assessment, and Xiao Yan, having nothing to do, took Xun Er and Little Doctor Fairy to walk around Sheng Dan City, buying some precious medicinal materials to prepare for the Pill Gathering later.

After Xiao Yan rested for a few days, the five great families' assessment finally began.

Ye Zhong waited at the door of Xiao Yan's room early in the morning; after all, the next step was the five great families' assessment. Although Ye Zhong was full of confidence in this assessment, he had to rely on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan opened the door, looked at Ye Zhong, who was full of smiles, and smiled faintly: "Let's go! I also want to see the strength of other families; after all, the Pill Gathering will start soon, and it's not bad to understand it in advance!"

"Hehe, among the five great families, I estimate only that Cao Family Enchantress needs special attention. However, I estimate she won't participate in this assessment." Ye Zhong said with a faint smile.

The assessment location for the five great families was located in a special hall in the inner region of Sheng Dan City. The Pill Tower attached great importance to the five great families' assessment and set up an exclusive location for the assessment.

Because this assessment was public, it attracted a large number of people to watch, and this time, more people came to watch than ever before.

Because if the Ye Family still couldn't pass the assessment this time, they would be kicked out of the ranks of the five great families.

Once the Ye Family was kicked out, other families would have the opportunity to join. Once they replaced them, they would have the opportunity to become Pill Tower high-level officials.

As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. Once you become a Pill Tower high-level official, it means you know more experts.

Just like the Ye Family, although they had already lost power, they could still provide quite a few conveniences by relying on past relationships. Before, if Han Li hadn't helped, I'm afraid Xiao Yan would have really had to wait a day or two to participate in the alchemist assessment.

Xiao Yan entered a majestic hall with Ye Zhong. At this time, the hall was already crowded with people.

The people in the hall saw Ye Zhong arrive and started discussing one after another; after all, the Ye Family was the protagonist of this assessment, and everyone was staring at the Ye Family, thinking about replacing them after the Ye Family lost power.

Ye Zhong heard these people's discussions, a cold sneer on his lips. If Xiao Yan didn't exist, their Ye Family might have really been slaughtered, but this time...

The people in the hall saw that Ye Zhong had no decadent look on his face, but was full of confidence, and were instantly confused; after all, if the Ye Family failed this assessment, it would be very shameful, and once the Ye Family was kicked out of the ranks of the five great families, then Ye Zhong would be the eternal sinner of the Ye Family.

But this Ye Zhong was full of confidence, clearly having reliance! But who was the person he relied on?

At this time, everyone shifted their gaze to Xiao Yan. After all, this assessment definitely wasn't participated in by Ye Zhong. Since it wasn't Ye Zhong, it was only the young man behind Ye Zhong.

Xiao Yan didn't care about everyone's gaze, looked up and scanned the hall, discovering that quite a few figures were already sitting on the seats around the hall, the most prominent of which were the seats of the five great families.

At this time, only three of the five great families were sitting in the seats: the Qiu Family, the Bai Family, and the Dan Family.

At this time, the people of the Bai Family were staring viciously at Xiao Yan, and a man among them was filled with cold Qi, staring at Xiao Yan with eyes as sharp as an eagle, wishing he could swallow Xiao Yan.

"That person is Bai Ying, the most outstanding alchemist in the Bai Family, a seventh-rank intermediate alchemist. The Bai Family sent him clearly wanting to wash away their shame." Ye Zhong followed Xiao Yan's gaze and introduced. If Ye Zhong had seen the Bai Family send Bai Ying to fight before, he would definitely be wary. However, at this time, Bai Ying could no longer be taken to heart by him.

Xiao Yan didn't care about the people of the Bai Family either, just glanced at them and shifted his gaze to another family. Looking closely, he discovered a familiar figure; it was the young girl he met when testing.

The young girl had been secretly watching Xiao Yan, and after discovering Xiao Yan looking at her, she hurriedly turned her head away in a panic.

"That is the Dan Family, and that young man in blue is Dan Xuan. Like Bai Ying, he is a seventh-rank intermediate alchemist." Ye Zhong introduced with a smile.
