"Wenlong, if this friend has never participated in the Dan Fu Daoyuan certification assessment before, and now wants to directly assess the seven-star alchemy master, I'm afraid it's impossible, and there's not enough time! You know that the certification assessment of our Dan Fu Daoyuan is very strict. There is a fixed rating between each star. Now it's very close to the Dan Fu Ceremony. Even if this friend is a genius, the certification assessment process is still too cumbersome!"
Wang Hong smiled bitterly and said in a very tactful way.
His forehead was full of black lines. If Ling Xiao had not been brought by Lu Wenlong, he would have almost wanted to blast Ling Xiao out.
He is not even a one-star alchemist, but he wants to ascend to heaven in one step and directly take the examination for a seven-star alchemy master? It is simply a foolish dream!
Wang Hong has been immersed in alchemy for tens of thousands of years, but now he is only an eight-star alchemy master!
"It doesn't matter! Vice Dean Wang, I can assess you star by star. I have time!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, not taking the comments of the people around him to heart at all.
"You have time, but Danfu Daoyuan doesn't! Vice President Wang, Danfu Daoyuan is not a place where just anyone can come in, right? People like this who are just trying to attract attention, when will it be time to kick them out?"
At this moment, a shrill voice rang out.
The crowd parted and two young men in black robes came over. They looked extraordinary, with bodies as nimble as dragons, and they exuded a powerful aura.
The two young men in black robes look somewhat similar and seem to be brothers.
"They are actually the geniuses of the Xiao family, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yun?"
Someone exclaimed.
"Xiao Rui is a genius in alchemy who is no less talented than Lu Wenlong. He has also reached the level of a nine-star alchemy master. I also heard that he has mastered the Netherworld Holy Fire and has achieved great accomplishments in alchemy. He is the favorite to win the championship, just like Lu Wenlong!"
“Hehe, although Xiao Yun has no accomplishments in alchemy, he is extremely talented in cultivation. He has now reached the level of a fifth-turn semi-saint, far surpassing his peers!”
"The Xiao family and the Lu family have always been at odds. Now it looks like something interesting is going to happen!"
Everyone was talking about it.
"Xiao Yun, watch your mouth! We are the guests of the Lu family, so you don't need to talk too much!"
Lu Qingluan frowned, stared at Xiao Yun and said coldly.
"Lu Qingluan, Danfu Daoyuan is not your Lu family's Danfu Daoyuan. Do you want to abuse your power for personal gain? You are not even a one-star alchemist, but you want to take the test of a seven-star alchemy master. It's simply a foolish dream! Aren't you afraid that your Lu family will be humiliated?"
Xiao Yun sneered, not hiding the fiery and lustful look in his eyes.
Lu Qingluan had an extremely beautiful face and an unparalleled elegance that made Xiao Yun extremely fascinated. Unfortunately, Lu Qingluan was not interested in him at all, and could even be said to hate him, which made Xiao Yun furious every time he saw Lu Qingluan, so he deliberately targeted her.
Xiao Rui's expression was indifferent. He just stood there calmly without saying anything.
Like Lu Wenlong, he had the cultivation level of a seventh-level semi-saint, but there was a black flame mark between his eyebrows, emitting a netherworld aura that made him look evil.
"Xiao Yun, how do you know that Zhao Ritian cannot be certified as a seven-star alchemy master? Let me tell you, even the difficult question left by my master in Xinghua Tower was solved by Zhao Ritian! It seems that even your eldest brother couldn't solve that question, right?"
Lu Qingluan was furious and immediately sneered.
"Have you solved the problem that Master Jiu left in the apricot blossom stone?"
Xiao Yun was slightly stunned. He didn't know this. Many people knew the question that Master Jiu left in the apricot blossom stone, but many people couldn't answer it.
Even Lu Wenlong and Xiao Rui had tried it before, but failed.
Xiao Rui, who originally had an indifferent expression, couldn't help but reveal a gleam of brilliance in his eyes when he heard the news and glanced at Ling Xiao.
"That's right! I tell you, Zhao Ritian comes from an ancient hidden clan, he has extraordinary talent, and his attainments in alchemy are the best among his peers, so he was able to answer the questions left by my master! It's not that he doesn't have the ability to participate in the certification assessment of the Dan Fu Dao Academy, it's just that he has been hiding from the world and has no chance! I am sure that he can become a seven-star alchemy master!"
Lu Qingluan said with great pride.
Although she disliked Ling Xiao, now that it concerned the face and reputation of their Lu family, she couldn't help herself and even exaggerated Ling Xiao's talent.
Ling Xiao was also a little speechless. This girl really spoke without thinking. She exaggerated so much. If it were someone with less strength and was eventually exposed by Xiao Yun, the Lu family would only be more embarrassed.
"You can definitely become a seven-star alchemy master? Lu Qingluan, how about we make a bet?"
Xiao Yun's eyes rolled and he sneered.
"What bet?"
Lu Qingluan said unwillingly.
"If Zhao Ritian can't become a seven-star alchemy master before the Danfu Ceremony, then you have to marry me!" Xiao Yun smiled maliciously.
"Marry you? You wish! A toad wants to eat swan flesh. Do you think you can marry me?"
Lu Qingluan's face suddenly turned red, and she said with mixed shame and anger.
"I knew you didn't dare to make a bet! In that case, why don't you take this damn Zhao Ritian away with you to avoid embarrassing yourself here!" Xiao Yun sneered and provoked him.
"Who said I don't dare to bet? But what if you lose?"
Lu Qingluan jumped up immediately like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.
"If Xiao Yun loses, I will lend my Xiao family's copy of the Heart Pill Sutra to Brother Lu for a look. How about that?"
Before Xiao Yun could speak, Xiao Rui spoke first. He stared at Lu Wenlong and spoke slowly.
"Heart Pill Sutra?!"
Lu Qingluan and Lu Wenlong were both shocked, with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
The Xiao family's Heart Alchemy Sutra is said to have been passed down by the Alchemy Emperor in the alchemy world. It contains the way of Heart Alchemy. Although it is only a fragment, it is still extremely precious. It can quickly improve one's attainments in alchemy through the way of Heart Alchemy.
Therefore, relying on the Heart Pill Sutra, the Xiao family has always been stronger than the Lu family in strength over the years.
If it weren’t for the emergence of the Lu family’s dragon and phoenix—Lu Wenlong and Lu Qingluan—in this generation, the Lu family would have been suppressed by the Xiao family and would not have been able to raise their heads.
If the Lu family could obtain the Heart Pill Sutra, their strength might be able to improve by leaps and bounds.
Neither Lu Wenlong nor Lu Qingluan had expected that Xiao Rui would spend such a huge amount of money!
But after thinking about it, Lawrence Lu still said seriously: “No! I can’t bet on my sister’s happiness. Although I admit that the temptation of the Heart Pill Sutra is great, I refuse!”
