"How is Danfu Daoyuan certified? Is it too late to join now?"
Ling Xiao asked with some curiosity.
"You want to be certified as an alchemist? Brother Zhao, if you want to be certified as an alchemist, there is the Danfu Daoyuan in Taixuan City. However, the certification process is very troublesome and you have to go through a series of tests. I'm afraid it will be too late!"
Lu Wenlong said slowly.
Lu Wenlong's words were still relatively tactful, but Ling Xiao could tell that this certification process might not be that simple.
"My brother is right! Zhao... Ritian, you want to be certified now, let alone whether you can be certified as a seven-star alchemy master. Even if you have the ability, I'm afraid it's too late! Why don't you join my eldest brother, and he will naturally take you to see the style of the Alchemy Talisman Ceremony, how about it?"
Lu Qingluan spoke rather impolitely, almost saying that Ling Xiao didn't have the ability.
“I still want to give it a try!”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
"In that case, I will take Brother Zhao to Danfu Daoyuan. Maybe Brother Zhao can really create a miracle!"
Lu Wenlong smiled gently. He was also very curious about Ling Xiao's true level of alchemy and wanted to see how far Ling Xiao could go. After all, being able to solve the difficult problem left by the Wine Master did not mean that his attainments in alchemy were necessarily very high.
The Dao of Alchemy is profound and has no end.
"You are overestimating yourself!"
Lu Qingluan muttered softly, her eyes rolled around, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The owner of Xinghua Tower arranged an exquisite courtyard in Xinghua Tower for Lingxiao. It not only has unique scenery, but also has a powerful spirit gathering array and meditation array. It is one of the most precious courtyards in Xinghua Tower.
Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan also live next to Ling Xiao.
After Ling Xiao thanked the owner of Xinghua Tower, he, under the leadership of Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan, headed towards Danfu Taoist Temple in Taixuan City.
Danfu Taoist Temple is located in the center of Taixuan City. It is the most imposing building besides the City Lord’s Mansion.
Danfu Taoist Temple covers a vast area with towering ancient trees, numerous pavilions and towers. It is exquisite and naturally exudes a peculiar ancient charm.
Ling Xiao, Lu Wenlong, Lu Qingluan and their group entered the Danfu Taoist Temple, and Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan immediately became the focus of attention. Many alchemists and talisman masters greeted them with a smile.
"Meet Master Lu and Fairy Qingluan!"
"Mr. Lu is extraordinary, and Fairy Qingluan is peerless and extraordinary. They are indeed worthy of being the dragon and phoenix of the Lu family! I wonder what they are doing in Danfu Taoist Temple?"
"Yes! It is said that Master Lu is already a nine-star alchemy master, and although Fairy Qingluan is young, her attainments in the art of talismans are also very strong, having already reached the level of an eight-star talisman master!"
Everyone was talking in low voices, their eyes full of awe.
"Who is that young man? How could he be so cheerful and talkative with Master Lu?"
Someone noticed Ling Xiao and said with some confusion.
The person who can chat and laugh with Lu Wenlong and stand shoulder to shoulder with him should be someone who is on equal footing with Lu Wenlong. Everyone is wondering in their hearts, could Ling Xiao be a genius from the other three major families
Soon, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a white robe, came up. There were eight stars embroidered on his chest, surrounding a strange alchemy cauldron, indicating that the old man was an eight-star alchemy master!
"Wenlong, what brings you here?"
The old man's face was flushed and he laughed, appearing very kind.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wang! Today I am here with a friend who wants to be certified as a Grand Master of Alchemy in order to be eligible to participate in the Alchemy Talisman Ceremony!"
Lu Wenlong bowed to the old man and smiled.
The old man in white robe is named Wang Hong, the vice president of Danfu Taoist Academy. He holds a high position and great power, but he is very kind to Lu Wenlong. It is not only because of Lu Wenlong's extraordinary talent, but more importantly because of Lu Wenlong's prominent identity as the closed disciple of an old ancestor in the sect.
"friend?"
Wang Hong's eyes fell on Ling Xiao, and he smiled gently, "This is naturally easy! Recently, many six-star alchemy masters are preparing to take the test, hoping to become seven-star alchemy masters so that they can participate in the Dan Fu Ceremony! Wenlong, your friend is already a six-star alchemy master at a young age, so his attainments in alchemy must be extraordinary! I will arrange a test for him right away!"
It’s just an examination, which is naturally a very simple thing for Wang Hong.
"Ahem... Senior Brother Wang, this friend of mine is not a six-star alchemy master!"
Lawrence Lu coughed and smiled awkwardly.
"Not a six-star alchemy master? Haha, that's not a problem! Many geniuses like to make a splash and want to cross several realms in one fell swoop. This young man should be a five-star alchemy master, right? Then why not take two exams today!"
Wang Hong laughed.
He regarded Ling Xiao as a genius who wanted to make a big splash, and he felt even more moved in his heart. He was indeed worthy of being Lu Wenlong's friend. It seemed that his talent was even stronger than he had imagined!
"A genius in alchemy? Who is this person?"
Everyone looked at Ling Xiao with some envy and jealousy, and they were more and more curious about Ling Xiao's identity since he was able to have Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan personally take part in the certification assessment.
"Vice President Wang, my brother's friend is a genius in alchemy, but he has not had time to participate in the certification of the Danfu Dao Academy, so he is not even a one-star alchemist now!"
Lu Qingluan said jokingly and gave Ling Xiao a demonstrative look.
"What?!"
Wang Hong was stunned and almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Lu Wenlong glared at Lu Qingluan, but smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Wang, my friend has indeed not been certified by the Dan Fu Daoyuan. He wants to... be directly certified as a Seven-Star Alchemy Grandmaster!"
Now Wang Hong finally heard it clearly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He is not even a one-star alchemist, but he wants to be certified as a seven-star alchemist? !
Wang Hong felt as if ten thousand divine beasts were roaring through his heart.
"Did I hear correctly? This young man is not even a one-star alchemist, but he wants to be directly certified as a seven-star alchemist?! Is he... is he dreaming?"
Everyone was in an uproar and completely stunned.
Everyone thought that the young man Lu Wenlong brought was a very powerful figure, but they didn't expect that he was not even a one-star alchemist. This was something that no one had expected.
"Genius? Hehe, if he is really a genius, how could he not have participated in the Dan Fu Dao Academy certification until now? I think he is just a name in vain!"
"That's right! You're not even a one-star alchemist, but you want to directly participate in the assessment of a seven-star alchemy master. This is simply a foolish dream!"
"Hush, keep your voices down! This person is Mr. Lu's friend. If you want to offend Mr. Lu, just say it!"
Everyone was discussing in low voices, and their eyes gradually became filled with contempt and disdain as they looked at Ling Xiao.
Most of the people who can appear in Danfu Taoist Academy are alchemists and talisman makers. They are all arrogant and proud. They originally thought that Ling Xiao was a genius they looked up to, but now he seems to be an arrogant person. The idea of trampling Ling Xiao from the clouds to the mud makes them have a morbid sense of pleasure.
PS: I just came back from traveling today and started to update as normal. This is the second update and there will be two more later.
