Chapter 215: Heaven-Defying Talent

The news that Tongtian Tower cultivators would come to Tianqing City had been known in advance by several big families in this place. Almost no force was not moved by the fact that the Tongtian Tower could come to recruit disciples.

The Tongtian Tower represented the strongest alchemy heritage in the cultivation world, with the Immortal Elixir Great Dao existing, and was a holy land for countless alchemists. However, generally speaking, most disciples of cultivation families could not pass the alchemy assessment to enter the Tongtian Tower.

This force was very strict about the inheritance of alchemy, and unless one possessed peerless alchemy talent, it was difficult to become a core member of the Tongtian Tower.

The disciples recruited by the Tongtian Tower this time were more like recruiting alchemy attendants and medicine testers!

Selecting some young cultivators with powerful talent and potential, letting them become outer disciples of the Tongtian Tower, serving as bodyguards and medicine testers for the core alchemists of the Tongtian Tower, growing together, and binding them!

Almost every core alchemist of the Tongtian Tower would have a few powerful cultivators responsible for protecting them, and in exchange, the elixirs refined by the alchemist would be distributed to these cultivators...

Those who could become core alchemists of the Tongtian Tower were all alchemy geniuses. There were many who could follow by their side and become alchemy attendants, eventually reaching Soul Transformation, and the lowest achievement would be Nascent Soul.

Therefore, even if it was just becoming an alchemy attendant, countless disciples of cultivation families flocked to it.

In this process, if one were lucky enough to get some pointers on alchemy from a Tongtian Tower alchemist, it would be even more beneficial.

Tianqing City, in the center of the city, several big cultivation families had already set up the venue. Under the leadership of Venerable Ling Quan, the person in charge of the city for the Qingming Chamber of Commerce, they were welcoming the distinguished alchemist guests from the Tongtian Tower together.

The flying boat of the Tongtian Tower arrived. Venerable Ling Quan laughed: "So it is Alchemist Jiegeng. I heard long ago that Alchemist Jiegeng has advanced to the fifth-grade realm of alchemy. Congratulations, congratulations..."

"Senior Ling Quan, long time no see." From the flying boat, a figure walked out. It was a female alchemist dressed in plain white robes. She was young, only at the late Golden Core cultivation, yet a Soul Transformation powerhouse was very polite to her.

The Nascent Soul powerhouses of several big families were also very surprised when they saw her and immediately greeted her.

Although this female cultivator was only at the Golden Core cultivation, she was a core disciple of the Tongtian Tower. She was under thirty years old and had advanced to the fifth grade of alchemy, representing that she could already refine fifth-grade elixirs.

Fifth-grade elixirs could be used by Soul Transformation powerhouses, and a young Golden Core stage cultivator who could refine fifth-grade elixirs definitely represented that her future was limitless, and it was not impossible to become a sixth-grade alchemist in the future.

Even if they didn't look at her talent, looking at the Tongtian Tower behind her and the master behind her, everyone present had to give enough face.

"I am just recruiting alchemy attendants for the Tongtian Tower as usual. You don't need to make such a big fuss." Alchemist Jiegeng said softly.

"How can that be? Alchemist Jiegeng, please. Numerous outstanding disciples of cultivation families in Tianqing City have all arrived at the scene at this time. It just depends on who has the fortune to join the Tongtian Tower." Venerable Ling Quan looked at the crowd. In the crowd, more than a hundred young cultivators with Foundation Establishment cultivation or above were eager to try, looking at Alchemist Jiegeng hotly.

Although with their cultivation, they might not be able to follow this Alchemist Jiegeng, every alchemist of the Tongtian Tower would have a future achievement of at least sixth grade. Regardless of who they followed, the resources on the path of cultivation would be solved. Most people did not want to miss this opportunity to soar into the sky.

"Alright." Alchemist Jiegeng nodded, and her figure slowly landed on a ring in the center. Venerable Ling Quan looked at the flying boat at this time and perceived several auras of Nascent Soul Great Perfection from it, feeling incomparable emotion. This batch of experts, plus the power of elixirs and the power of formations, I am afraid that ordinary Soul Transformations would not be able to get any benefits.

"This is my elixir-testing beast, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation. Within the Foundation Establishment stage, whoever can defeat it can become an outer disciple of the Tongtian Tower..."

At the same time, on the ring, Alchemist Jiegeng waved lightly, and a giant three-headed python with a huge body and covered in ink-colored scales roared and appeared, emitting a chaotic aura.

At the same time, on the arena, Alchemist Jiegeng gave a light wave, and a three-headed giant python with a massive body covered in ink-colored scales roared into existence, emitting a chaotic aura.

Although the body of this three-headed giant python was a uniform color, each head was a different color, seemingly containing the power of three attributes. Seeing this giant python, many powerhouses from cultivation families took a deep breath, sensing its formidable bloodline power!

"... It can be considered rich among King Blood!"

"This is an elixir-testing beast? Defeat it... The conditions for becoming a Tongtian Tower alchemy attendant this year are higher than ever before!"

Facing this three-headed snake, many disciples of cultivation families showed fear. However, under the strong request of the family elders, they still went up to the ring one after another, but the result was not surprising... All were easily defeated by the three-headed snake, which mastered the three powers of lightning, fire, and frost.

Pfft!

Another Foundation Establishment cultivator was smashed away.

Alchemist Jiegeng sighed.

"Is this the only level?" As more than twenty young cultivators were defeated, Alchemist Jiegeng, who was at the edge of the ring, shook her head. She had grabbed this three-headed snake because she wanted to research the False Core Technique, letting this three-headed snake condense three demon cores. It could be said that it was not the strongest posture of this three-headed snake at the moment. Being unable to defeat even this level of demonic beast could be said to be completely unqualified to become an alchemy attendant of the Tongtian Tower.

Not only did Alchemist Jiegeng shake her head, but Venerable Ling Quan, seeing this, also shook his head. It seemed that the Tongtian Tower would return empty-handed in Tianqing City this time. He had not heard of any genius cultivators appearing in Tianqing City in the last ten years.

"I'll come!!"

However, just when many young cultivators were afraid of the three-headed snake's power and dared not step forward to challenge, the crowd suddenly became restless. A boy with red eyes squeezed through the crowd and walked straight toward the ring!

"Isn't this Xia Yan..."

"When did this kid reach Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?!"

This blue-clothed boy walked out. In a corner of the crowd, the cultivators of the Xia family were suddenly stunned. They remembered that not long ago, the other party was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage!

If it were just this, it would not be enough to make these Xia family cultivators find it hard to believe. What was even more outrageous was the power the boy showed after going on stage!

Fiery flame true essence rose from both sides of him, the fire light illuminating his whole body. The nearly completed Fire Spirit Power finally made Alchemist Jiegeng slightly interested.

Ordinary geniuses were already good if they cultivated a special constitution to small completion at the Foundation Establishment stage, and this boy's constitution had actually reached near completion. If completion meant exerting 100% of the constitution's power, then small completion was 30%, and completion was 70%. During this period, there was a complete difference in multiples!

"Not only is the Fire Spirit Body near completion, but his control over flames is also..."

As the boy raised his head, more than a dozen flame tornadoes, mixed with storm power, collided with the three-headed giant python under its roar. Seeing this scene, Alchemist Jiegeng asked: "This boy has heaven-defying talent, and he has this strength at under twenty years old. He should be qualified to become an alchemy attendant, and it is not impossible to become a Tongtian Tower alchemist. Senior Ling Quan, do you know this boy?"

"This boy..." Venerable Ling Quan beside Alchemist Jiegeng also had a confused expression and said: "I know... Xia Yan of the Xia family."

"His father is the number one alchemist in Tianqing City, Soul Fire Alchemy Venerable Xia Jie. However, a year ago, it was said that Alchemy Venerable Xia Jie was poisoned by Netherworld Palace demonic cultivators and died. I saw this Xia Yan at Alchemy Venerable Xia Jie's funeral, and I remember he was only at the early Foundation Establishment cultivation. In less than a year, how could he have such strength? Even if his father left him enough legacy, this growth speed is too outrageous..."

Venerable Ling Quan secretly regretted. If he had known Xia Yan had such talent, he would have recruited him into the Qingming Chamber of Commerce early. How could he have given the Tongtian Tower a chance! ===== CHAPTER 216 =====

Venerable Lingquan felt secret regret; had he known Xia Yan had such talent, he would have recruited him into the Qingming Chamber of Commerce long ago, rather than giving the Heaven-Reaching Tower a chance!
