Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

"Go within the clan and find a few trusted disciples of the Proud Lineage, preferably those with silver-grade bloodlines. Remember, you must find disciples who have undergone trials, not geniuses who are easily taken away by others with some resources."

Lin Yan spoke up.

“Alright! That’s easy to say. We still have a few people with silver-grade bloodlines in our lineage. They may not be the most talented, but they have all been tested! Even when our lineage was in its most perilous time, they never thought of defecting to the enemy.”

Ao Zhan nodded.

"Besides that, your clan should have something that can test people's talents, right?"

Lin Yan said again.

"Yes, there is a bloodline altar in the clan that can detect talent."

Ao Zhan Dao.

"Lin Yan, are you planning to test your talent?"

Ao Qing inquired.

"Hmm, let's make a big fuss and test their talent first. It would be best if the entire Bloodthirsty Sky Ant Clan knew about it."

Lin Yan already had a complete plan in mind.

"Haha, okay, I'll join you and go for the big one!"

Ao Qing's eyes shone brightly. Although he was over 100,000 years old, he was still a child in the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant Clan and had a playful heart. Therefore, he was very excited when he saw Lin Yan preparing to make a big move.

In just one afternoon, Ao Zhan used his clan connections to gather all the materials.

Lin Yan then entered the Sword King Tower and began refining the evolution fluid.

This super evolution fluid is a Yuanhai Realm level item, and even Lin Yan would find it difficult to refine.

The failure rate is extremely high.

However, the small tower has a 50,000-fold time acceleration.

So he wasn't in a hurry.

After one, two, and several hundred attempts, Lin Yan gradually grasped the pattern and began to show signs of success.

Meanwhile, Ao Qing spread the word within the clan that he was preparing to conduct talent tests and select a group of talented young men to serve him.

Soon, people from the clan came to sign up.

These were all people of the proud lineage, and there were ten of them in total.

"Very good, all ten of you, go to the ancestral altar and test your talents!"

Ao Qing led the group to open the ancestral altar.

The clan altar is jointly controlled by the nine lineages, and to open it, at least three lineage elders must hold tokens.

However, this kind of thing is not difficult. After all, Ao Qing is the son of the old clan chief, so he still has that much face.

People from other lineages were also curious after learning about Ao Qing's actions.

"What's going on with Ao Qing? He selected ten young men from the Ao lineage. Judging from their formation, are they planning something big?"

"Hehe, Aoshan, Aoshui... these are all trash, barely reaching the level of silver-grade bloodline."

The other lineages all watched with a detached attitude. A silver-grade bloodline is basically at the level of the core disciples of the Douling families in the Void Star Region. Such talent is not considered very strong even in the Void Star Region; it can only be considered decent.

Not to mention the Bloodthirsty Sky Ants, a massive ancient race that once had a holy ruler.

He Nan also arrived. He stood in the crowd with his hands behind his back, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.

"Ao Qing, are you really going to use these few guys to fight and challenge me?"

He Nan's expression turned strange when he saw the disciples that Ao Qing had brought.

"Heh heh, this kid really has no one left. He's treating a disciple who barely made it into the silver-grade bloodline like a treasure, and he's even planning to put on a talent test. Isn't that ridiculous? Is it really necessary to test a disciple of this level?"

"Haha, I guess they're still not giving up and want to find a bargain, maybe they'll find some near-gold-grade bloodlines or something."

The disciples of the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant Clan following behind He Nan joined in the mockery without any attempt to hide it.

If it were the old Ao Qing, he would definitely be filled with passion and fury in this situation, and would fight with people. But now, after experiencing this again and again, Ao Qing has become calm and composed.

He remained completely unmoved, seemingly oblivious to He Nan and the others, and instead addressed several disciples of the Proud Clan:

"Aoshan, you guys go up and test your talents one by one."

"Yes, Brother Aoqing!"

Several bloodthirsty ants stepped forward.

"Activating the talent test altar requires investing Immortal Jade; each person needs to invest one billion Immortal Jade."

The elder in charge of opening the altar.

The Talent Testing Altar is jointly managed by the nine major lineages. It can be activated with just three elder tokens, but the resources consumed must be provided by the corresponding lineage.

"This is 10 billion Immortal Jade."

Ao Qing had already prepared, and threw out a bag, pouring a massive amount of immortal jade into the altar.

hum!

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light enveloped Aoshan and the other insects. Then, the altar lit up, and streaks of silver light appeared above their heads.

"Aoshan, a low-grade silver bloodline."

"Aoshui, a low-grade silver bloodline."

"Ao Hai, a low-grade silver bloodline."

"..."

All ten disciples were at the low-level silver rank, which was not surprising, as they had been tested in various clan competitions and similar events before.

Talent is something that is very difficult to change unless there are major changes.

"Heh, what a waste of 10 billion immortal jades to test the talents of these ten good-for-nothings. If I were you, I would rather spend that money myself."

He Nan mocked.

"Arrogant Young Master..."

The disciples of the Ao Mai lineage all looked ashamed.

Even within the Silver Rank, there are different levels. The lowest Silver Rank is basically just barely qualifying one as a Silver Rank holder.

"It's nothing, it's just to test your talents. Alright, come with me."

Ao Qing shook his head and led Ao Shan and the others to Ao Zhan's cave.

"Brother He Nan, this guy is acting suspiciously; something seems fishy!"

"Should we investigate this?"

A disciple asked a question.

It's a bit unusual that Ao Qing would suddenly spend 10 billion immortal jades to conduct a test.

"No need. What waves can a few pieces of trash make?"

He Nan didn't take it seriously.

He knew all too well what level those disciples of the Proud Clan were at; even with endless resources, their achievements would be limited, and they were not worth worrying about at all.

……

Ao Qing led ten disciples to meet Lin Yan.

"This is my sworn brother, Lin Yan. In the future, in Aomai, you should treat him the same way you treat me."

Ao Qing explained.

"Brother Lin Yan."

Several disciples of the Ao Mai clan clasped their hands in greeting.

"Have all their talents been tested?"

Lin Yan asked with a smile.

"Everything has been tested."

He nodded proudly.

"How's the situation?"

Lin Yan spoke again.

"Many people are paying attention to the nine major lineages, and it's estimated that today's events will spread quickly. Before long, the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant Clan will be known to everyone."

Aoqing said.

He knew that even if he didn't publicize it, He Nan would definitely send people to find a way to spread the news.

Spending billions of immortal jades to test the talents of a few useless individuals is enough to become one of the points where He Nan stirs up public opinion and creates a bad reputation for him.

"very good!"

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

"This is good?"

The disciples of the Ao Clan exchanged bewildered glances, unable to understand what Ao Qing's sworn brother was thinking. This was something that would cause their young master to lose face! And it was all orchestrated by Lin Yan?

This doesn't seem like something brothers would do.

Lin Yan noticed their confusion, but instead of explaining, he said to them:

"Follow me!"

As he spoke, he opened the small tower.
