Chapter 193: Advanced Seventh Level! Dan Tower Leaders!
Xiao Ze followed Elder Liu Tian into the assessment room.
As the largest alchemist organization on the Dou Qi continent, the Dan Tower had the strictest standards for level assessments.
Qing Lin, nervous, clenched her fists, praying silently for Xiao Ze to pass the test.
A long time passed in the assessment room.
"Did you really pass the advanced seventh-level alchemist test?!"
Elder Liu Tian was more than surprised.
"In reality, you don't need to continue your training at the Dan Tower. If you want, I can recommend you as an honorary elder of the Dan Tower."
"In the future, you could even become a true elder of the Dan Tower if the opportunity arises."
Elder Liu Tian spoke with enthusiasm.
To him, Xiao Ze was like a raw gem.
Without a personal master, and only with academy teaching, he had reached the advanced seventh-level alchemist.
"Thank you very much for your recommendation, Elder Liu Tian!"
Seeing Elder Liu Tian's warmth, Xiao Ze immediately bowed to thank him.
"Haha, actually, I'm also doing myself a favor. Your future is limitless, so why not make things easier for you now?"
Elder Liu Tian, generous by nature, didn't hide his intention.
"Anyway, Elder Liu Tian, you have really helped me a lot."
"Don't worry. Go back and wait for the news. President Xuan Kong also values talent greatly and surely won't reject your entry as an honorary elder of the Dan Tower."
"Of course, for now, you'll still be in the Dan Tower as a training student."
Both exited the room while talking, and Dan Xuan, hearing Elder Liu Tian, showed surprise in his eyes.
How skilled must Xiao Ze be for Elder Liu Tian to directly recommend him as an honorary elder of the Dan Tower?
Although the title included "honorary," it was still a real elder position.
While Dan Xuan was immersed in his curiosity, Elder Liu Tian took out a shining badge.
The badge was dark golden and had an image of flames wrapping around a tall tower.
What made Dan Xuan open his eyes in astonishment were the seven purple-gold stars shining on the tower.
"Advanced seventh-level alchemist?!"
Dan Xuan exclaimed incredulously. Before, he had only seen this badge on the chest of older alchemists.
But now, Elder Liu Tian was giving it to Xiao Ze.
In Dan Xuan's mind, Xiao Ze's alchemy skills were on his level, but it turned out he was much more advanced.
Suddenly, Dan Xuan's gaze towards Xiao Ze changed.
Xiao Ze accepted the badge and thanked Elder Liu Tian.
After talking a bit more with Elder Liu Tian, Xiao Ze and the other two left the training tower.
Elder Liu Tian watched them leave, narrowing his eyes. Talented alchemists like Xiao Ze were very valuable to the Dan Tower.
However, due to a past incident, the Dan Tower was cautious with unknown talented alchemists.
Not only with talented alchemists but with all alchemists joining the Dan Tower; they needed to investigate their background.
"Well, I'll deliver Xiao Ze's information to President Xuan Kong. He'll decide."
Dan Xuan also remembered the previous alchemy discussion with Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze could solve all the problems he posed.
But sometimes, the problems posed by Xiao Ze left him scratching his head.
He thought that alchemy techniques outside Zhongzhou were peculiar, but now he realized it was he who knew little.
"Xiao Ze, I didn't know your alchemy skill was so advanced."
"Haha, I also learned a lot from discussing alchemy with you, Brother Dan."
Xiao Ze said sincerely, and Dan Xuan laughed.
"Yes, I got too obsessed with levels."
After understanding this, Dan Xuan smiled with relief and looked at Xiao Ze normally again.
"So, Xiao Ze, what do you plan to do next?"
"I want to find a quiet place to hone my alchemy skills."
"Then come to the Alchemy Institute inside the Holy Alchemy City. It's a point of the Dan clan. You can stay there for a while, and when you become an honorary elder, the Dan Tower will provide you with a special place to live."
Dan Xuan had no doubt that Xiao Ze would become an honorary elder.
On one hand, Elder Liu Tian's recommendation, one of the eight great elders of the Dan Tower, was very valuable.
On the other hand, Xiao Ze's advanced seventh-level skill placed him among the best, even among common elders.
Even in all of Zhongzhou, an advanced seventh-level was worthy of the title of master alchemist.
So Dan Xuan felt it was unreal.
Xiao Ze, so young, was already advanced seventh-level. Had he been wasting time all these years?
After settling Xiao Ze and the others, Dan Xuan quickly left.
After all, he had matters to attend to at the Dan Tower. They weren't urgent, so he first accompanied Xiao Ze to the training tower.
Now that Xiao Ze's matters were resolved, he had to take care of his own.
"Dan Xuan is a good person, worthy of being a friend."
Xiao Ze observed the courtyard Dan Xuan had prepared for him with satisfaction.
He planned to prepare the Resurrection Pill as soon as possible, to be ready.
Elsewhere, inside the great black tower.
The three leaders of the Dan Tower gathered due to Elder Liu Tian's report.
In Elder Liu Tian's description, Xiao Ze was an absolute talent in alchemy.
Achieving such an evaluation from one of the eight great elders of the Dan Tower made the three leaders pay attention.
After hearing Elder Liu Tian's presentation, the three leaders exchanged looks.
Xuan Kongzi's brow was furrowed. Xiao Ze's situation reminded them of a distant event.
That incident had worsened the relationship between the Dan Tower and the Soul Hall.
The real strength of the Dan Tower was the Little Dan Tower, which even had a powerful Dou Sheng-level warrior.
The existence of the Little Dan Tower was the foundation that allowed the Dan Tower to be on par with the Soul Hall.
At its peak, the master of the Little Dan Tower took on an apprentice who displayed incredible talent.
In just forty years, he surpassed many veterans of the Dan Tower, but due to an accident, it was revealed that he was from the soul race, Hun Xu Zi.
The master of the Little Dan Tower, out of compassion, did not kill him.
But Hun Xu Zi not only did not appreciate the kindness, he secretly gathered powerful soul race members and attacked the master of the Little Dan Tower.
Since then, the relationship between the Dan Tower and the Soul Hall worsened.
Once bitten by a snake, they feared the rope for ten years.
Since then, the Dan Tower increased the rigor of the investigation of new members.
Especially with alchemists from outside Zhongzhou, who could easily disguise themselves, the review was even stricter.
Although Xiao Ze's talent was so impressive that Elder Liu Tian was willing to recommend him, they couldn't help but remember the incident with Hun Xu Zi.
"Send someone to Jia Nan Academy to verify Xiao Ze's information. If everything is correct, we might be training an alchemist as talented as Hun Xu Zi."
After a long discussion, Xuan Kongzi made the final decision. The strict review was necessary to ensure Xiao Ze's background was pure.
