Peerless Sovereign

Su Lie nodded and answered.    

Hua Yi laughed softly. "With your strength, you should have already been selected."    

Su Lie smiled and nodded. "That's only natural."    

The first round of examinations had been passed. Next was the selection of the two stages!    

These two tests would definitely result in an extremely terrifying number of people.    

With his strength at the second level of the Natal Opening Realm, his bargaining chip was probably too small … When he thought here, Su Lie became interested and asked: "I wonder if you know the content of the last two tests in Tianyuan Sect?"    

If he knew about it, he must have gained the initiative!    

If it was some sort of special test, he could prepare ahead of time.    

"The last two trials are quite straightforward. "However, behind this direct elimination was an incomparably cruel elimination system …"    

Hua Yi was startled for a moment, and organized his thoughts for a moment, then said: "On the way to Tianyuan Sect, there is still as much as a thousand miles to go. We must pass through these mountain ranges in order to reach the sect that the Tianyuan Sect is located in. "    

"On the road, there are all sorts of horrifying Monstrous Beasts, strange poisonous beasts, miasma, swamps and other desperate places. It can be said that they are extremely dangerous. "Of course, the most terrifying part is still the road of competition …"    

"After seven days, they will hand out a special sign to all those who passed the exam. On this road of competition, everyone had to think of all means possible to seize the tokens of others! The more tags he had, and the faster he would reach his final destination, the greater the possibility of him being accepted by the Tianyuan Sect as a subordinate. Among them, regardless of life or death, those who are able to reach the finish line are usually only ten to two. Those who are ultimately accepted are even fewer … "    

In one breath, he said so much. Finally, he took a deep breath and paused, "The degree of cruelty is far beyond your imagination! "As for the final test, I don't know …"    

He spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.    

After hearing Hua Yi's words, Su Lie also sank into deep thought!    

Hua Yi did not need to deceive him. If it was really as he had said, this competition would likely be incomparably difficult.    

Although he himself already had the strength to defeat the seventh stage of the Natal Opening Realm in name!    

However, the competition was very complicated, even if an individual's strength had reached the peak of Natal Opening Realm, they could very well die.    

After registering the information earlier, Su Lie roughly swept his eyes over the candidates. There were probably two to three hundred of them!    

There were a total of seven days to recruit students. If there was this number of students every day, it was likely that there would be no more than one to two thousand students.    

Wanting to stand out from it was not an easy matter … As if he had seen through Su Lie's worry, Hua Yi hesitated for a moment before suddenly smiling lightly. "How about this? You're only sixteen years old, but already have the strength of a second rank alchemist. I can use the position of Sky Origin City's Apothecary Guild to protect you … Although my Apothecary Guild is lonely, but I still have this little bit of ability. "    

Su Lie's talent in alchemy was also incomparably outstanding. Hua Yi naturally didn't want to see the decline of a talent!    

So far, so good.    

However, after hearing Hua Yi's words, Su Lie only hesitated for a moment before smiling and refusing, "There's no need. I still want to rely on my own strength to give it a try. If he went through the back door, he would be ridiculed and not given a chance to use it. Not even a single one … "The chance to become Elder of the Tianyuan Sect's direct disciple."    

All of Elder of the Tianyuan Sect's disciple selections were selections between disciples that stood out from the competition!    

Although talent was important, it wasn't that there was no way to improve it.    

However, such a terrifying character that stood out amidst tens of thousands of competition was not something that everyone could possess … The Tianyuan Sect would naturally not offend the Imperial Family for the sake of ordinary disciples!    

Thus, if he wanted to protect the Su Clan members, he must first become a direct disciple of an elder.    

No matter what kind of elder it was, it was enough to cause Dayuan Dynasty to be wary of it.    

Hua Yi did not insist on Su Lie's decision.    

After all, this was Su Lie's own path. As for how he would choose, that was something he had to listen to.    

Both sides were silent for a while. Su Lie suddenly stood up and smiled: "Actually, I have another request to ask of you."    

"What is it?"    

Su Lie smiled faintly: "I would like to receive the emblem of an alchemist, is that possible?"    

"Whew."    

After a moment of surprise, Hua Yi let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's just a small matter. No problem."    

He had already witnessed Su Lie's pill refinement process!    

As Grade Four Alchemist, an elder of Sky Origin City's Apothecary Guild, giving Su Lie a badge was not a problem.    

And now, with the alchemist's badge in his hand, there was an extra amount of chips in Su Lie's hand!    

Even if he was an expert at the peak of the Natal Opening Realm, he would definitely not be willing to offend a Tier 2 alchemist.    

As an apothecary, his identity is well-respected throughout the continent.    

"Hehe, come with me."    

Hua Yi stood up and went out of the room.    

Although he had the power to grant it directly, some of the necessary procedures had to be done at that time.    

The Apothecary Guild was very big, and it was only after several rounds of courtyard were they finally able to reach the registration place.    

Hua Yi stopped and said to the person in charge, "Arrange for him and issue him with a badge. There is no need to take the exam."    

"Hmm?"    

The woman in charge of registration glanced at Hua Yi, then looked at Su Lie with a troubled expression.    

Hua Yi lightly coughed and said: "No worries, I've already experienced his pill refining abilities. He definitely can afford the title of a first rank alchemist."    

Although it was against the rules to give it directly, it was not a problem to have Huayi as a guarantor.    

After a moment of hesitation, the woman turned around and left.    

"Heh heh, Hua Yi, who is this little brother?"    

While he was waiting, a slightly sinister laughter sounded from behind him.    

Turning his head, a middle-aged man of about fifty years of age slowly stood up. He looked at Su Lie and Xiao Kun with a smile.    

"He was brought here by Master Huayi to receive his apothecary emblem."    

Before Su Lie could say anything, the woman replied honestly.    

From the looks of it, this old man held a huge amount of power within the guild.    

"Oh, really?"    

Stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Su Lie and said coldly: "This little brother doesn't seem to have passed the test right? It's against the rules of the guild to issue an emblem without going through the examination. "    

"I have already seen his pill forging skills, and his skills match up to that of a grade-1 apothecary."    

Hua Yi's expression was slightly gloomy as he coldly said, "Hua Tong, what? Are you doubting me?"    

"Hehe, of course I don't dare. How can I question Grade Four Alchemist's judgement?"    

Hua Tong sneered and said coldly, "But this is a necessary procedure, even if it's you, you have no right to dispense with it. Are you trying to abuse your authority?"    

The moment he said those words, even Su Lie's gaze turned cold.    

With that tone, even a fool would be able to tell that he was intentionally provoking her.    

"Tomorrow he will go to the Tianyuan Sect to undergo the test. If today's test, then there is no way that tomorrow's power will be restored to its maximum state. Since I have verified him, I naturally have my own reasons. "    

Hua Yi's voice also turned cold for a moment. He didn't back down in the slightest.    

"Since you insist on disobeying the decree, then there's nothing I can do about it."    

Hua Tong shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent look: "But I can take this opportunity to learn from you. Regardless of whether or not he has the strength of an alchemist, this is a sign that you are abusing your authority."    

"You!"    

Hua Yi took a step forward and his aura immediately surged!    

Hua Tong looked at him with a funny expression and sneered: "You want to fight here?"    

"Elder Huayi, there's no need to do this."    

Seeing that Hua Yi was angered, Su Lie hurriedly took a step forward and advised, "If the program requires it, then we might be able to go and inspect it."    

"But, this will consume …"    

Hua Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.    

Su Lie only waved his hand and lightly said, "It's alright."    

Seeing that Su Lie had agreed, Hua Yi did not say anything in the end.    

He could only wave his hand and said to the woman, "Ya Si, bring him in."    

"Yes."    

Ya Si replied. She looked at Su Lie and spoke with a slightly softer tone, "Follow me."    

Behind the registry office was a curtain.    

Passing through the door curtain, they entered a corridor, at the end of which was a completely sealed secret room.    

The secret room was very large. The walls were densely packed with engravings of various magic formations, gathering the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.    

The entire room was extremely monotonous. There was a cauldron placed in the middle of the room, and that was it.    

Even though it was so monotonous, this kind of environment made it easier for people to meditate and concentrate on refining pills!    

The quality and success rate of the elixirs that were refined would greatly increase because of this.    

"The content of the test is very simple. There will be a system on the door randomly assigning any one of the pills of the first rank." "Once it's allocated to you, you can consider it as having passed the test."    

Ya Si smiled and snapped his fingers as he spoke to Su Lie.    

Su Lie moved away from the top of the cauldron and turned around to see the door.    

On that door, the light was slightly released. Indeed, there was a system for selecting people.    

"Of course, because it is randomly chosen by the system, if one is unlucky, they may be able to get a peak tier 1 pill."    

Ya Si's voice was pleasant to hear, filled with the clarity of a young girl: "The medicinal ingredients are provided by the association. If you pass the test, the fees will be waived and you will even receive an additional monthly allowance from the guild. "If you don't pass, you'll have to pay for yourself."    

The rules were simple, but simplicity was often the only way to express one's true strength!    

Su Lie did not object. He lightly pursed his lips and nodded. "I understand."
