BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
PASS THE TEST

"That guy actually summoned a purple-colored flame? Don't tell ... it's ‘Api Heavenly’ !? How come?"

All the alchemists within the hall stared at the purple flames that soared high and smoldering in the medicinal cauldron in shock. Since there was a thin curtain separating them, they could not confirm the exact details of the tame. However, the color of the flame was definitely not an ordinary Dou Qi Flame created from condensed Dou Qi.

Heavenly Fire? Frank and Ao Tuo exchanged glances and immediately shook their heads.

"It doesn't look like it . moreover, with the child's strength, he shouldn't be able to control an intense Heavenly Flame so easily!" Ao Tuo stared intently at the Purple Flame rising under the control of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception as he said in a deep voice.

"There are some differences. ‘Heavenly Flame’ is not easy to control "Frank wiped the water stain on his beard. His facial expression was very serious.

"But why is the fire purple?" Frank and Ao Tuo frowned. They feel a little bit squeaky. No one had ever heard of a flame other than the purified flame of the Heavenly Flame that was entirely purple in color.

"This child is not simple. No wonder he dared to take the test for a tier one alchemist at such a young age. He actually has some background. Looking at the wealth of Purple Flame, the strength of this child was at least that of a five-star Dou Zhe. Scary training talent! " Frank sighed after he slowly calmed down.

"I said that I had a strange feeling when I met him for the first time. It was really unexpected that he could actually hide his abilities under my nose. This boy, quite mysteriously .. "Ao Tuo pulled his long beard while smiling at Frank," I suddenly wanted to meet his teacher. I want to know who can really teach this amazing student. Ugh, compared to him, Xue Mei and Lin Fei were inferior in class. "

"Yes." Yeah." Frank nodded his head slightly and said with a smile, "To think that after these two girls fought for so long, the two of them finally received a surprise blow from this young man named Xiao Yan. It is better to let them learn the meaning of the two phrases ‘there is no limit on one's ability’ and ‘there is always someone stronger than You’. "

"Spread a message to the Alchemist Association of another city and seek their help to find out if there was a high-level Alchemist known as Yao Lao. Being able to educate such a student, he should not be someone unknown. " Frank waved his hand and called out to an alchemist before whispering his orders.

The alchemist respectfully nodded his head before he quietly left the hall.

In the corner, Ao Tuo only smiled when he saw what happened. After which, he once again turned his gaze to the inside of the thin curtain. With a soft voice, he said, "Although he might be able to control this unique Purple Flame, refining pills do not only involve flames. One's Spiritual Awareness, flame control, the amount of medicinal ingredients needed etc., were all very important points. Now, we have to keep watching. "

Frank nodded. As a tier four alchemist, he naturally already knew all of this. Therefore, he did not continue speaking. Instead, he quietly stared at the young man behind the curtain of light who was fully focused on refining the medicinal pill.

Following their silence, the hall once again became silent. This time, however, most of the gazes were fixed on Xiao Yan. Many people wanted to know if this young man who could control a flame that looked similar to ‘Heavenly Fire could still maintain an outstanding performance in other criteria.

Xiao Yan, who was behind the curtain of light, naturally did not have the free time to observe the commotion in the hall caused by Purple Flame. His gaze violently swept over the stone table. Then he picked up some kind of medicinal ingredient at a speed that was neither fast nor slow before throwing it into the medicinal cauldron regularly and continuously. Under the suppression of his Spiritual Awareness, the ferocious Purple Flame was as tame as a sheep as it gently surrounded the medicinal ingredients thrown into the medicinal cauldron. Afterwards, he began refining the essence of the various medicinal ingredients needed for the ‘Pil Strength Gatherer’.

Under the gentle refining of Xiao Yan, the initial form of ‘Pil Strength Collecting’ was gradually formed within the medicinal cauldron.

Each stone table inside the thin curtains was separated by a thin, square-shaped curtain. However, Xiao Yan's Purple Flame was too unique, causing the two people beside him, Xue Mei and Lin Fei, to notice something not long after the Purple Flame was released. They tilted their heads and their beautiful eyes widened as the soaring Purple Flame appeared before them. After a faint muffled sound, the medicinal herbs they refined in the medicinal cauldron were burnt to ashes by the flames as their attention was diverted. Ignoring the medicinal ingredients that had turned into ashes, the two girls opened their slender red little mouths and stared blankly at the cold, hot, and warm Purple Flame under Xiao Yan's control. A moment later, they could not hold the cold breath in his heart.

Although they did not know what Purple Flame Xiao Yan possessed, they knew it was definitely harder to control compared to their dark yellow Dou Qi flame after seeing the extent of the turbulence within the flame.

However, from the relaxed demeanor of the young man before them, it seemed that he was extremely skilled at controlling this Purple Flame. This level of control was something that even caused Xue Mei and the proud Lin Fei to feel inferior.

The gazes of the two girls switched from the medicinal cauldron. Finally, as if they had a tacit understanding, they placed their gazes on the young man whose entire attention was focused on what was happening within the medicinal cauldron.

At that moment, the gentle and handsome face of the young man did not show the slightest bit of anxiety. A faint purple color was imprinted on his face due to the surging Purple Flame. However, the extremely calm and relaxed demeanor almost made the two young girls think that the person in front of them was not an immature young man younger than twenty years old. Instead, he looked as if he was a high-level alchemist with a lot of refining experience.

This kind of calm and relaxed attitude was something that only Xue Mei and Lin Fei could see when their teacher was refining medicine. At this moment, however, the young man before them once again let them experience it.

The gazes of the two girls met briefly in the air and both of them witnessed bitter smiles and defeat. "Uh ..." Their gazes once again spun into the bodies of Xiao Yan and Xue Mei sighed softly. His hand gently brushed the silver hair on his forehead before he caught his attention and once again focused on his medicinal cauldron.

"This person hid everything well .. I was actually wrong with her appearance ..." Again, Lin Fei glanced at Xiao Yan as she muttered. Xiao Yan who had become a simple pedestrian in his heart just a moment ago had risen to become someone of high status who possessed frightening talent and should be treated with great respect.

Shaking his head, Lin Fei bitterly smiled and sighed again as he thought of the speed in their changing position. After which, he tossed the second medicinal ingredient into the medicinal cauldron and began the refinement.

Xiao Yan, who had placed all his attention within the medicinal cauldron, was naturally unaware that the two girls were watching him just a moment ago. His eyes only stared intently at the inside of the medicinal cauldron.

Under Xiao Yan's concentration, time passed quickly. After the medicinal pills in the medicinal cauldron were reversed and rolled up for several times, it finally began to round. Seeing the glint on the surface of the medicinal pill, Xiao Yan smiled. His palm slowly moved away from the medicinal cauldron. As his hand left, the purple-colored flame in the medicinal cauldron also gradually disappeared.

Quickly grabbing the jade bottle with his palm, Xiao Yan swiftly waved in front of him. The pale yellow medicinal pill was then stored right inside.

Xiao Yan raised his head after slowly putting down the bottle. He realized that the sheet of light around him had been subconsciously removed and all the surrounding gazes stared intently at him.

"What's the exam time running out?" Turning his head to look around, Xiao Yan discovered that Xue Mei and Lin Fei beside him were also staring at him and could not help but speak in a shy voice.

Seeing Xiao Yan's embarrassed expression, Xue Mei slightly fell silent. He immediately nodded his head while smiling. His cold voice was slightly softer than before, "His test was done a few minutes ago. However, the teacher noticed that you don't seem to be finished yet so he waited for a while. Relax, you will not lose the qualification to take the test because of this. "

Xiao Yan smiled at Xue Mei gratefully before raising his head and looking at Frank and Ao Tuo who were walking over.

Slowly walking to the front of the stone table, Frank looked at Xiao Yan with a deeper meaning, then smiled and laughed, "Son, you are hiding everything very well."

Xiao Yan waved his hand but did not say anything.

Frank and Ao Tuo first took turns taking the medicine pill Xue Mei and Ling Fei refined and carefully observed the color of the medicinal pill, luster etc. They nodded at each other and smiled, "Not bad. Although there were some flaws in the power of the flame, this still met the standards to pass the examination. "

Hearing this, Xue Mei and Lin Fei gently sighed leisurely.

After examining the two women's medicinal pills, Frank and Ao Tuo did not immediately check Xiao Yan's medicine. Instead, they passed him and picked up the medicinal pills from the other six behind Xiao Yan to assess. Among these six, only two met the requirements. The other four bowed in a disappointed manner.

"Ha ha, you all need not feel sad. If you can't do it this year, do it next year. Young people may not have much else but they have plenty of time. " Looking at his fourth attitude, Frank smiled and cheered them on before exchanging glances with Ao Tuo. The two once again arrived in front of Xiao Yan.

Seeing the actions of Frank and Ao Tuo, the gazes in the hall slowly stopped on Xiao Yan.

Beside him, Xue Mei and Lin Fei were also curiously staring at Xiao Yan. They also wanted to know the standards of the medicinal pills that were successfully filtered by the person who could control the mysterious flames.

Lifting the goat skin parchment from Xiao Yan's desk, Frank glanced at him. His old face changed slightly as he said in an astonished manner, "Pill Gathering Strength?"

"Uh .." Hearing this, Ao Tuo also fell slightly silent. Seeming as if he realized something, Ao Tuo immediately said with a smile, "It is only fitting that this little boy needs more time. You really get this drug formula. "

Hearing name ‘Amassing Strength Pill’. Xue Mei and Lin Fei helplessly shook their heads. Just by comparing the difficulty level of the medicinal formula, they had already lost.

"Ck ck, that little boy does have some abilities. To successfully perfect ‘Pil Collecting Strength’. This medicinal pill was something that even some tier one alchemists would find it difficult to refine. " Hitting his lips in astonishment, Frank poured out a medicinal pill from the jade bottle. Instantly, a pale yellow round medicinal pill the size of a thumb slid playfully. It was entirely pale yellow with some faint dark green ripples mixed within it, looking like ripples that spread out and gave off a strange appearance.

"Line-Pil"

Seeing the coiling dark green ripples, Frank and Ao Tuo once again slapped their lips in astonishment. When refining medicinal pills, these Stripes would usually only appear on refined medicinal pills that had a peak color and luster.

Hearing the words ‘Pill-Lines’, Xue Mei and Lin Fei knew that during this examination, the two of them could not compare to the young man beside them.

"Congratulations, Xiao Yan. You have passed the examination for a tier one alchemist. "

After replacing the medicinal pill into the jade bottle, Frank slowly sighed and told the young man with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at the lucky young man behind the stone table with envy and surprise.

"Uh ... it ..." Hearing these words, Xiao Yan blinked his eyes. He rubbed his head and softly said, "That .. can I continue to take the test for a tier two alchemist?"

As soon as Xiao Yan spoke, the smiling faces of Frank and Ao Tuo a moment ago became lifeless
