My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

Upon hearing this, the leader suddenly opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise on his face.

"Five-star? Our Branch 8 finally welcomes a five-star-rated genius?!"

What a pity!

I was just lamenting that there was no hope, but then God turned around and sent me a five-star genius!

This is a great achievement that can directly offset the amount of five four-star tasks!

Thinking of this, how could he sit still?!

So, he casually glanced at the person next to him and ordered, "Wang Sheng! The test of this newcomer will be handed over to you!"

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to respond, he immediately turned around and ran towards the testing room!

The man named "Wang Sheng" froze in expression.

Then he looked at the people around him and pretended to look painful.

"Alas, my spiritual sea is surging today. I'm afraid my old injuries will relapse, so I won't add to the trouble!"

As he said that, he slipped into the testing room.

You can host the test at any time anyway.

But five-star geniuses are not common.

Now that I have finally come across it, I naturally have to go and take a look.

Seeing this, the other two immediately looked at each other.

"You know."

"Each each other."

Then, they all looked at the man with the shortest head and said, "Brother Li, I'll leave this newcomer in your care. Let's go over and take a look at the situation first."

As soon as they finished speaking, they all ran away.

Soon, only the man surnamed Li and Jiang Yan were left at the scene.

As if sensing the other party's slightly awkward mood, Jiang Yan spoke softly, breaking the silence: "May I know what your name is, friend?"

Li Changqing came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "I am Li Changqing. I have been in Branch No. 8 for eight hundred years... Uh, fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. My colleagues were really rude just now. They should have been on duty for this assessment..."

"That's all right." Jiang Yan smiled faintly, "Only when your heart is stable can you achieve the Dao of Alchemy."

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

This demeanor doesn't seem like that of an ordinary person...

Then, he took a deep breath, held out his hand, and said, "My fellow Daoist, since you want to take the alliance test, please follow me."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

Then, under the guidance of the other party, he walked into the testing area.

On the way, I passed by an open door.

Jiang Yan's eyes slanted slightly.

With just one glance, he could see several figures in the room.

They were the four people from the recruitment department who had just left.

At this moment, they were crowded in the room, surrounding an examiner and a young man in gorgeous crimson clothes.

The young man had a high nose bridge, an arrogant look, and his eyes wandered, giving a feeling that he didn't take others seriously.

"A five-star-rated genius in alchemy? He's quite extraordinary. No wonder this group of people are so eager..."

Jiang Yan seemed to be lost in thought, but he had no desire to win. Instead, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He possesses the Emperor's Fire and inherits the legacy of the Emperor of Alchemy. Although he has not received any evaluation from the Alchemy League, he never doubts his talent.

"With my current background, how many stars can I be rated in the Alchemy League?"

His eyes narrowed.

It should be noted that the Jiuyi Dan League’s star rating is not just for the sake of reputation.

It is more directly related to the subsequent allocation of resources, inheritance of skills and the amount of elixir exchange.

The higher the star rating, the better the treatment.

And he had thought it through clearly from the moment he stepped into this place.

This time, you must not hide your potential!

"The clan leader once said: If you're not envied, you're mediocre! Since you have this talent, go grab it!"

"Only by showing enough talent can everyone pay attention to you and cultivate you..."

At this moment, all the wise words that the patriarch had said echoed in my mind.

"What's more, if you really cause trouble, come to Guixu if you have the guts."

"But I don't think they have the courage..."

Just as Jiang Yan was preparing to participate in this test with all his strength.

The young man in fancy clothes in the room seemed to have sensed something as well. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Jiang Yan.

That glance was extremely casual, as if he was looking at a stone on the street.

"A new tester?"

"It's a pity that I chose the wrong day..."

The young man raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly, not taking the other party seriously.

Just because he has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

In front of him, no matter how talented a person is, they will be eclipsed.

What’s worse, it will shatter one’s faith in Taoism and make one unable to recover.

At this moment, Gao Chuan, the head of the reception desk, took out a gray stone and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun Min, you have achieved a five-star rating in this test, which is quite remarkable. Now, please leave your spiritual message and I will pass it on to the headquarters..."

He couldn't help but feel ecstatic at the thought of recruiting this five-star genius to Branch No. 8.

The same goes for the rest of the people.

After all, there is only one month left before the ten-year deadline. Who wouldn’t be anxious?

However, as Sun Min spoke, the smiles on everyone's faces froze.

"Divine thought information? Haha, there's no need to be so anxious."

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Gao Chuan was panicked and realized in an instant that things were not as good as he had imagined.

Sun Min raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and said coldly, "I know the situation of Branch 8. We are far from completing the mission targets for this period. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid we will definitely be at the bottom of the list among all the branches."

"Plus, we failed to complete the mission targets nine times before. Haha, according to the rules of the Dan League, if we can't complete it this time, we will face disbandment, right?"

"I think you all know this better than me..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.

They never expected that the other party knew so much about the situation of Branch No. 8, as if... they came prepared!

Gao Chuan's expression darkened instantly, and his tone lost its earlier attentiveness. "Fellow Daoist Sun, what exactly are you going to do?"

Sun Min put his hands behind his back, a sneer on his face: "What do I want to do? Hahaha, it's very simple, all I want is the origin of the ancestral fire of the No. 8 branch this time..."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expression changed.

The origin of the ancestral fire? He actually came here for the origin of the ancestral fire?!

You must know that the Jiuyi Dan League guards an extremely precious imperial-level divine vein, called the Danhuo Ancestral Vein!

However, the Danhuo Ancestral Vein has an extremely small probability of condensing the "Origin of Ancestral Fire".

This item is so precious that alchemists can observe it and improve their own understanding of alchemy.

It can also be used directly to wash away impurities in elixirs and improve their quality.

There was once an alchemist who used the three origins of ancestral fire to upgrade a quasi-emperor-level elixir into a true emperor elixir!

It is precisely because of this miraculous effect that countless alchemists have gone crazy.

Later, in order to motivate its major branches, the Jiuyi Dan League set up a reward mechanism.

Every thousand years, the first place will be selected based on the situation of each major branch and rewarded with the origin of ancestral fire.

Branch No. 8, because of its past glory, was fortunate enough to obtain the four origins of ancestral fire.

However, times have changed and the glory is gone.

Today, only the last source of ancestral fire remains in Branch No. 8.

This is the foundation of their branch's alchemy inheritance, and it is related to the insights of all the alchemists in Branch No. 8. How can they hand it over?

Realizing that the other party was taking advantage of them, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, can we discuss this matter further?" Gao Chuan asked with difficulty.

Although he really wanted to kick the other party out, he finally endured it when he thought of the plight of Branch No. 8.

Unexpectedly, Sun Min didn't even look at him, and said contemptuously: "Discuss? Do you think I came here to discuss?"

"If I didn't know about the situation of your Branch 8 and if it happened to have something I needed, do you think that with my talent, I would need to come to your shabby branch that could be disbanded at any time?"

His tone was full of disdain, which made everyone grit their teeth in anger, but they did not dare to attack.

Because they understood that the other party was their last hope. If they drove them away this time, they were afraid that the entire Branch 8 would be disbanded in a month.

Gao Chuan also realized this.

So, he took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, this matter is of great importance and is far beyond our ability to resolve. Please wait a moment while I inform the Minister..."

The Minister he mentioned was naturally the leader of Branch No. 8, a peak Alchemy Saint who was only one step away from becoming the Alchemy Emperor!

Sun Min smiled and said, "I don't think you have the right to do so. Okay, go and notify them quickly."

"My time is limited. If you still can't see the situation clearly, I'll go to Branch 9. It's much better there than this shabby place of yours."

When Gao Chuan heard this, veins on his forehead bulged and he wanted to rush up and beat him up.

But thinking of the consequences, he finally suppressed his anger and began to contact the minister.

"Oh, very good..." Sun Min looked at this scene and smiled even more.

In his opinion, he had deliberately chosen this most critical time to come here, and there was no reason for this group of people to disagree.

The origin of the ancestral fire, this kind of divine object is mine after all, and can only be mine!

............

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Changqing and Jiang Yan were already in a room.

At this time, Li Changqing already knew Jiang Yan's name.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, although you may have heard of our Jiuyi Dan League from other places before, I am still upholding my duty and repeating it."

"We, the Jiuyi Alchemy Alliance, have established many branches in order to unearth the hidden alchemy talents in the Five Directions."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that we only have so few people here. In fact, our foundation is in the Southern Realm Group, not the Daluo Sky Network. This is just a recruiting point. The fact that you can appear here also proves that you are most likely a cultivator from the Southern Realm Group..."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly after hearing this.

Indeed, the land of Guixu is located in the center of the southern boundary group.

There is nothing wrong in saying that he is a cultivator from the southern realm.

When Li Changqing saw Jiang Yan's reaction, he knew that he was right.

Then, he continued, "If you can pass the test this time, you can take some time to visit our branch in the future. There, you can find many treasures left by our predecessors. You will definitely benefit a lot from them. It will be worth the trip..."

"Well, if I have the chance, I will definitely go."

If he could leave Guixu in the future, he would naturally not mind taking a trip.

But Li Changqing didn't know all this and just nodded slightly.

He then stretched out his right hand and pointed to a stone platform covered with runes in front of him.

"Then you must pass the test first. This item is a treasure we brought from headquarters, called the Four Symbols Pill Ruins. Once you step inside, you'll enter a special space. You'll undergo four tests and receive corresponding scores. Finally, based on all the scores, you'll be given a rating from one to ten stars..."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, walked forward and stood on the stone platform.

"Are you ready?" Li Changqing asked calmly.

"Let's start." Jiang Yan responded immediately.

Li Changqing said no more and immediately made some hand gestures to activate the stone platform.

Soon, the densely packed tadpole characters on the surface of the stone platform instantly burst into golden light, and then flew out, as if they had life, enveloping Jiang Yan.

However, within a few breaths, the surrounding scene changed drastically.

Jiang Yan was already in a strange green space.

Just as he was secretly looking around, he heard Li Changqing's voice coming from all directions:

"This first test is a basic test, divided into two parts. Now, we will conduct the age test first."

"Although you are now a divine consciousness transformed by the Daluo Sky Net, the space you are in can still discern your true age based on the aura of your divine consciousness..."

After saying this, as if worried that Jiang Yan might be too concerned about his age, he continued, "However, you don't have to worry too much. Even if you are too old, it won't affect your joining the alliance. We will just conduct a comprehensive assessment based on the results of your next test."

Jiang Yan's face turned strange when he heard this.

If you are worried about other issues, then maybe there is some possibility.

But age?

Jiang Yan coughed lightly and said, "Then let's begin."

As soon as the words fell, it seemed as if the entire space was vibrating, and a buzzing sound was heard!

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of divine light fell on him, as if detecting something.

After a few breaths, a large dark green character appeared out of thin air above Jiang Yan's head.

It was the character "two".

Li Changqing, who was watching this scene from the outside, secretly speculated in his heart: "Could it be around two thousand years old?"

In his opinion, Jiang Yan did not have the vicissitudes of life that came from having experienced 20,000 years, so he could not be 20,000 years old.

Even that clear look in his eyes doesn't look like he's two thousand years old.

However, thinking that two hundred years old was somewhat outrageous, he finally settled on a slightly more conservative estimate of two thousand years old.

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, the word "one" appeared again after the two words.

Li Changqing didn't care and just continued watching.

However, something unexpected happened.

As time passed, the dark green characters above Jiang Yan's head seemed to have stagnated, with no new characters added.

At this moment, even Li Changqing couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the treasure sent from the headquarters had been in disrepair for a long time and had malfunctioned?

"This is only two and one, what about the rest? Why aren't there any more?"

Just as Li Changqing was muttering to himself, a row of small words appeared in front of him.
