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

[First level test, the results are out]

[Tester: Jiang Yan]

[Real age: 21]

???

Li Changqing opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he saw.

What the hell? Twenty-one?

He couldn't help but wipe his eyes with his hand and continued to look forward, but the bright number 21 was so eye-catching.

"So... this thing isn't malfunctioning? Is this Fellow Daoist Jiang really only twenty-one years old?"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yan hurriedly again.

No wonder the other person's eyes were so clear. It turned out that he had not been on the path of cultivation for too long.

Li Changqing shook his head and murmured, "Looks like this is another young master from some powerful faction."

At only twenty-one years old, he was able to reach Daluo Tianwang through Taixu Yuanjing, which shows that the power behind him is definitely not ordinary.

"However, at the age of twenty-one, his cultivation and attainments in alchemy should not be that high. He might not even meet the standards for joining the Alchemy Alliance..."

After the surprise just now, Li Changqing has calmed down.

After all, he is just young and it doesn't mean anything.

The real test of the opponent's potential will come in the next test.

So, he withdrew his thoughts, looked towards that strange space, and said in a deep voice: "Well, I didn't expect that Jiang...young friend is so young."

After knowing the other person's real age, he could no longer call him a fellow Taoist.

"Next, we will prepare to begin the test."

"The next test will primarily assess your attainments in alchemy. If you can achieve the attainments of a Xuan-level alchemist at the age of twenty-one, you'll roughly receive four points. If you can maintain a four-point score in the next three tests, you'll receive a four-star rating and receive commendations from both our branch and headquarters..."

Having said that, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation in his heart.

If the other party can really show four-star talent, then together with the five-star genius just now, the mission indicators of Branch No. 8 can be completed immediately, thus avoiding the danger of disbanding!

"Huh, I hope so..."

Li Changqing took a deep breath.

Then he quietly started the next test.

The next moment, many divine lights attacked again, sweeping across Jiang Yan's entire body.

Jiang Yan could clearly sense that he was being spied on.

But perhaps because of the divine body, this feeling of being spied on is not so strong.

If he wanted, he could even hide some of his realms.

"But I came here today to grab all the resources I can get, so why would I deliberately hide?"

Jiang Yan smiled faintly, then stopped hiding it and immediately unleashed his full aura!

In an instant, purple halos appeared on the surface of the body, burst out, and formed a huge purple sun behind!

"Ziwei Yaori..."

Li Changqing's pupils shrank sharply, he couldn't believe it!

This is because only those heavenly-level alchemists with profound accumulation can possess such a vision!

At least he, a top-grade alchemist of the heavenly rank, was unable to grasp this kind of alchemy phenomenon!

“Could it be that he…?”

Li Changqing's heart beat faster and an extremely bold idea came to his mind.

But how is that possible?

If you say this person is 1,800 years old, he might still believe it.

But twenty-one?

Even if one had been practicing alchemy since birth, one wouldn't have reached such an outrageous level, right?!

Just when Li Changqing was shocked.

A row of small words appeared before my eyes again.

[First level test, the results are out]

[Tester: Jiang Yan]

[Alchemy Realm: Heavenly Grade Supreme]

【Combining the performance of the two games, the rating is as follows: 10 points】

boom--!

It was like a thunder exploding in my mind!

Li Changqing stood there in a daze.

Heavenly Grade...top quality?!

twenty one years old?

very?

These three words are obviously unrelated or impossible to be said together, yet they just appear like this?

"Jiang Xiao...Fellow Daoist, who exactly are you?"

Li Changqing silently looked at Jiang Yan's figure, with a storm in his heart!

You know, he has been working in Branch No. 8 for 800 years, and the highest score he has ever seen in a single round of testing is only seven points.

I haven't even seen 8 or 9 points, and it jumped directly to 10 points?

What kind of joke is this?

It is no exaggeration to say that the score of the first game is there.

No matter how bad the opponent's results in the next three tests are, the overall rating is at least four stars!

"Guaranteed four stars! It looks like our Branch 8 is finally saved."

Li Changqing was so excited that he wanted to go out immediately to tell his colleagues the good news.

But now, the test has not ended yet and you cannot leave at will.

Then he took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

He put his hands together and made hand gestures, transmitting his voice into the Four Symbols Danxu.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have done very well in this first test. I can even say that you have far exceeded my expectations."

"With such achievements, joining our Jiuyi Dan League is a sure thing. So, there is no need to be nervous, just perform normally..."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes, I understand. Please start the second test."

He was not at all surprised by the result of the first test, so why should he be nervous?

Seeing this, Li Changqing nodded secretly.

Faced with a perfect score on the first test, he remained so calm.

This level of mental attainment is beyond the reach of countless cultivators; it is truly not easy.

"It seems my worries were unnecessary. This person shouldn't perform poorly in the subsequent tests due to his character issues."

"If I perform normally, I might even be rated five stars in the end!"

Li Changqing's eyes became brighter.

We were able to recruit two five-star geniuses on the same day. God bless us!

Then, he looked at Jiang Yan again and said, "Now that you are ready, let me tell you about the second test."

"The second test is a test of understanding."

"There is only one round in this level."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are now a Heavenly Rank Alchemist. The test is to give you fragments of an elixir recipe that matches your realm and ask you to deduce and complete it. This will be used to judge your level of comprehension..."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless green fluorescent lights appeared in that strange space, and then condensed into an illusory pill recipe.

【Glass Soul-Replenishing Pill】

[Grade: Heavenly Grade Supreme]

[Main Herb: Glazed Blood Lotus (Year requirement missing)]

[Assisting herbs: Xuanmingzhi (missing dosage), three pieces of Nirvana Fire Phoenix Feathers, Qingming Lingteng (missing refining method), Millennium Earth Essence (missing fusion order)]

[Refining Method: Missing details on the control of the pill fire, unclear rhythm of the fusion of medicinal materials, and no control over the temperature...]

[Effect: Repairs the damage to the soul of a cultivator in the Heavenly Realm]

"This Glazed Soul-Replenishing Pill was created casually by the Minister. Later, for testing purposes, the key to it was intentionally hidden."

"Because it has never been leaked to the outside world, we can guarantee that all testers have never seen this recipe, eliminating the possibility of cheating."

After he finished speaking, a large amount of fluorescent light emerged, and eventually condensed into the shape of a furnace.

"In this second test, the Four Symbols Pill Ruins will change according to your thoughts, simulating the corresponding medicinal ingredients and the alchemy process."

"Generally speaking, you only need to complete the recipe and simulate the refining successfully to get three points."

"If you want to move up, it depends on the quality of the pill. If you refine a four-patterned top-grade pill, you can gain six points."

"As for going further, haha, this requires relying on one's own understanding and making multiple changes to achieve it!"

Speaking of this, Li Changqing couldn't help but shook his head.

This Glazed Soul-Replenishing Pill was, after all, a pill recipe created by the Minister himself. The sophistication contained in it is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary Heaven-level alchemists.

Being able to complete it once requires extremely deep foundation.

As for completing it multiple times?

That is not something a Heavenly Grade Alchemist can accomplish at all!

"Completing the pill formula and simulating the process, this Four Symbols Pill Ruins is truly magical..."

Jiang Yan felt emotional.

He immediately began to look at the recipe in front of him intently and fell into deep thought.

One breath... Two breaths... Three breaths... Four breaths...

It took nine breaths before he had an idea.

"The Glazed Blood Lotus is not old enough, so its medicinal properties are unstable. It will take at least five thousand years for its medicinal properties to stabilize."

"The dosage of Xuanmingzhi must be precise, 3 liang 7 qian, just enough to blend with the main medicine."

"The Qingming Lingteng is cold and difficult to tame. It needs to be warmed with wood-attributed fire for twelve hours, and then suddenly sealed with ice and fire, so that its medicinal properties can be fully released."

"Millennial Earth Essence is an extremely yin substance. It cannot be added too early. It must be blended over a low flame for a moment after all the herbs have been blended. Then, slowly increase the temperature, step by step..."

At this moment, all the information on the recipe seemed to appear before his eyes, and he analyzed, reorganized, and sorted it out one by one.

As his thoughts changed, many medicinal herbs appeared out of thin air in front of him and were thrown into the illusory alchemy furnace.

The next moment, the fire of the elixir suddenly ignited and enveloped it.

Li Changqing, who was outside, was shocked when he saw this.

"How could you complete the recipe and simulate the alchemy process in such a short time?"

"Isn't this... a bit too hasty?"

He couldn't help but feel worried for the other party.

You have to know that completing the pill formula is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

It requires a lot of energy and careful observation and deduction.

People with poor comprehension may not be able to succeed even after years of deduction.

Even for people with excellent comprehension, it would take at least several hours.

"In less than ten breaths... If this can really succeed, this fellow Daoist Jiang's understanding of the Dao of Alchemy is truly terrifying..."

Li Changqing swallowed his saliva and dared not think about what happened next.

at the same time.

The elixir fire still enveloped the elixir furnace and was burning.

Under the influence of the Four Symbols Danxu, everything seemed to be accelerated.

The alchemy process that originally took more than ten hours to complete was completed in just a few breaths!

"What a fast speed..."

Jiang Yan was slightly startled.

Then the corners of his mouth curled up and a smile appeared: "But, this is also good."

"Now, it's time for the final step."

With a slight thought, he immediately poured the thousand-year-old earth essence into the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, the fire of the elixir changes from hot to warm, and from rough to gentle.

As it was roasted over a low fire, the aroma of the medicine became stronger and stronger, and the furnace was filled with spiritual light, like divine light!

Boom!

A soft sound.

A brilliant golden light shot up into the sky from the alchemy furnace!

Immediately afterwards, the alchemy furnace trembled and strange phenomena arose!

Only four dan patterns emerged, clearly visible!

"This is... a four-patterned top-grade pill?!" Li Changqing's pupils shrank sharply and he said in a lost voice.

He never expected that the other party not only succeeded in refining it, but also refined a four-patterned pill of the highest quality!

"A supreme alchemist of the Heavenly Rank... He used only nine breaths to complete all the Heavenly Rank supreme pill formulas left by the elder, and even used them to refine this kind of pill..."

"This is really only twenty-one years old (after the reminder from the previous readers, this has been corrected), not some thousands-year-old Heavenly Rank Alchemist... No, even an alchemist with such profound experience would find it difficult to achieve this!!"

For a moment, Li Changqing was shocked.

If the first test had not revealed that the other party was only a Heavenly Rank Alchemist.

He even suspected that the other party was some Alchemy Saint pretending to be a newcomer and coming to Branch No. 8 to have fun.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you..."

Li Changqing was about to congratulate the other party when he saw an extremely incredible scene.

Jiang Yan did not stop his actions, but was still focused on the pill formula in front of him, still comprehending it.

"He's not satisfied with this and wants to improve the original recipe of the Glazed Soul-Replenishing Pill? And deduce a new formula?"

“How…is this possible?!”

Li Changqing's breathing stagnated and his expression changed completely.

At this moment, the thoughts in Jiang Yan's mind became clearer and clearer.

"The Glazed Blood Lotus still retains its status as the main ingredient, ensuring its original medicinal properties remain unchanged."

"The Xuanmingzhi was replaced with the Millennium Soul-Renewing Grass, which has a stronger ability to nourish the soul and spirit, thus increasing the speed of repair."

"Increasing the number of Nirvana Fire Phoenix Feathers from three to five will make the medicine more potent and stimulate the soul to heal itself."

"Add the 'Xuan Yin Han Yu' to neutralize the fire poison of the main medicine with its extreme yin nature, forming a fusion of yin and yang, instantly healing the broken soul vein."

He deduced step by step and pondered over it repeatedly.

After a moment, he muttered to himself, "Although this method can repair the damage to the soul in a very short time, the backlash is fierce, and the victim must endure three hours of excruciating pain... Without a strong will, it may be difficult to endure."

"However, if used in a life-or-death battle, it is... an excellent elixir."

"Since the effect is different from the original recipe, its name should be slightly modified. Let's call it Liuli Soul-Exploding Pill..."

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, something unusual happened in the Four Symbols Danxu!

The fluorescent light gathered and became a new pill recipe.

There was a line of large characters floating on it:

【Glass Soul-Exploding Pill (Variant)】

[Evaluation level: Heavenly Grade]

[Effect: Repairs severe soul trauma. Suitable for Heavenly Rank cultivators in life-or-death battles. Strong efficacy, but high side effects.]

The corners of Li Changqing's eyes twitched wildly and his expression changed drastically!

At this moment, he felt his scalp tingling and his feet numb!

"Crazy... He really came up with a variation!"

"Not only has it changed, it has also directly passed the certification of the Four Symbols Danxu, skipping the simulation process!"

Generally speaking, after the tester has developed a variant of the recipe, he or she still needs to go through the same simulation process as the original recipe.

If the simulation fails, it proves that the variant pill formula is ineffective, and vice versa.
