st a Yuan Ying-level ghost clan. Even through the rolling black mist, Lu Xia Tian could feel the strength of this ghost clan's aura, which was almost as strong as that of the Xuan Yan Ghost King back...Before his grandfather passed away, Zong Yue relied on his family name and power, rarely putting others in his eyes. He offended many people along the way. After his grandfather's death, this man's superficial brilliance was exposed as hollow and baseless. Dai Jin Cheng had also been humiliated by Zong Yue before, so now he mocked him without any hesitation.

Zong Yue's face was ashen, he snorted coldly, turned his head and walked away. Although the black-faced youth hadn't passed the final assessment yet, his current performance indicated that there was probably no problem with his strength. Besides, he couldn't stand being ridiculed by these people.

When leaving, Zong Yue glared angrily at Lu Xia Tian who had started refining the second batch of pills. He would definitely get back at this guy if he had the chance! And those who had mocked him before, if he ever encountered them outside Dan Wang City, he would surely have his revenge. His grandfather was both a Yuan Ying ancestor and a master alchemist, so the wealth he left behind was beyond what ordinary cultivators could imagine.

Compared to the surprise of people like Ruan Bi-ru, Zong Yue's hatred, at this moment, Xiao Yun and Xiao Heilong looked at each other after a glance, their bodies couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, both of them would have wanted to shout out loud. Especially Xiao Heilong, remembering what Lu Xiaotien had said to him in Feiyuncheng.

If one were to seize this opportunity, giving them a chance to hold their alchemy ceremony would also be acceptable. Reflecting on this now, Xiao Heibao felt that Lu Xiaottian before him was unfathomable, and he was most likely far more than just an intermediate alchemist.

Even if his guess was wrong, even if he was only an intermediate alchemist, and a Golden Core late-stage cultivator with such formidable strength, following such a powerful Golden Core expert would be simply unimaginable for Xiao Black Leopard.

If Lu Xia Tian could refine the Jinding Pill, Xiao Heibao's heart would be pounding with excitement. Wouldn't that mean Xiao Yun and he himself could ask Lu Xia Tian to refine the Jinding Pill for them

Even if the other party isn't a high-level alchemist yet, their current alchemy skills, combined with their age, leave plenty of time for them to advance. For powerless wandering cultivators like them, wanting an alchemist to refine pills on their behalf is difficult even if they are willing to offer spirit stones. It all depends on whether the alchemist is willing.

Five furnaces of alchemy, successfully refined three furnaces, two furnaces were wasted, including the last furnace which was deliberately ruined by Lu Xia Tian.

The old man, unkempt and dusty, put away the furnace and lifted the barrier.

"What's wrong Is there a problem" Lu Xia Tian saw the surprised looks on the ragged old man and the others.

“This is your new waist card representing your intermediate alchemist status. You can throw away the old one.” The slovenly old man gave Lu Xia Tian another jade pendant, which was of much better quality than the previous one.

“You intentionally ruined the last furnace of elixir, didn't you” The unkempt old man’s gaze turned towards Lu Xia Tian once more.

“Master, you flatter me. To have refined three furnaces is already the limit.” Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Don't fool me, five furnace alchemy, with a mid-level alchemist, given your alchemical speed, being able to refine one furnace would already be impressive. Would you be interested in joining the Divine Dan Alliance"

The slovenly old man waved his hand and said, "With the alchemy talent you've displayed, as long as you join our alliance, you will definitely receive focused training. If you reach the level of a senior alchemist, with your current Jindan stage cultivation, if you make enough contributions, even obtaining a Nascent Soul Pill wouldn't be impossible."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Hearing about the Jindan Pill, the few men behind Ruan Bi'ru's eyes almost turned green. Even those born into cultivating families had many of their own clan members competing for it. Even Danwang City, renowned throughout the world for its pills, strictly controlled the Jindan Pill. Even Yuan Ying cultivators couldn't obtain this item without sufficient merit.

Lu Xia Tian frowned slightly. Originally, he had been somewhat reserved when refining pills, only aiming for the title of a mid-level alchemist. He hadn't even used his own spiritual bamboo carbon. However, it seemed now that he had been a bit presumptuous. It was the speed of his pill refinement that exposed some of his strength. Even though he had deliberately slowed down, it was still noticeable. Lu Xia Tian didn't realize this problem; he simply hadn't seen the refining speeds of other alchemists.

Long ago, in the 混元道藏, Lu Xia Tian was trapped inside a stone cave by those shallow gold stone statues for years. At that time, the pills on his body were exhausted in the fierce battle. According to the ordinary alchemy speed, it was impossible to meet the needs of the intense fighting.

Under the ever-present threat of death, Lu Xia Tian's alchemy speed also began to advance by leaps and bounds at that time. His mastery of fire control reached a level of perfection. Although he later escaped, the habit of rapid alchemy remained.

If it were a high-level elixir, Lu Xia Tian's alchemy speed would naturally be slower. As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, even if slowed down significantly, in the eyes of other alchemists, it was still unusually fast.

"What do you think" Seeing the sullen boy daydreaming again, a glimmer of triumph flashed in the slovenly old man's eyes. The Infant Nascent Soul Pill wasn't something easily obtained. Even joining the Divine Pill Alliance required significant contributions to the alliance.

However, he wasn't entirely lying. There was still hope after all. It seemed this young man had been startled by the news of his exposure. That must be it. If we recommend him to join our ranks, there would be considerable benefits. Just based on this kid's alchemy speed, even a high-level alchemist wouldn't be able to match him when it comes to refining Foundation Establishment Pills. He's practically a machine that produces medicinal pills.

“No, I'm used to being free and independent. I'm not used to being bound.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head.

The slovenly old man and Ru Bi-ru and the others were taken aback, they actually refused. The other party actually refused this great opportunity.

“Can I leave now” Lu Xia Tian asked.

"Well, alright. Think it over carefully. If you change your mind, come find old me anytime." The disheveled old man still hadn't given up completely.

Ruan Bi-ru and Gu Tanjian et al. also had some thoughts about recruiting Lu Xiaoteng, but when they heard that he even refused the invitation from Shen Danmeng, the most powerful force in Danwang City, they felt that they couldn't offer more attractive terms and had to temporarily give up.

“I didn't expect this young master to be such a skilled alchemist. His talent in alchemy is truly unprecedented. I am Ruan Bi-ru from Yuxin Palace. I hope to become acquainted with the young master.” Ruan Bi-ru politely said to Lu Xiaottian.

“Eastern White.” Lu Xia Tian still used his alias. As for the original people who knew, although there were only a few, Lingwujing was best at gathering news, and Lu Xia Tian didn't want to expose this flaw to Luo Ping’er.

Thinking about staying in Danwang City for quite some time, it wouldn't hurt to make a few acquaintances. They exchanged sound transmission talismans.

"Take me to find a place to stay. I'm planning on living in Danwang City for a long time, and the place shouldn't be too small." After bidding farewell to people like Ruan Biru, Lu Xia Tian turned to Xiao Yun said.

“Yes!” Knowing that Lu Xiaoteng was a alchemist, Xiao Yun became even more respectful towards him. At this time, the threat from Zong Yue naturally disappeared without a trace. With the crisis resolved, Xiao Yun felt an unprecedented sense of ease. compared to kneeling for survival, we dragons would rather stand and die. As for what will happen next, who knows If we don't fight, the dragon race will be oppressed for generations, living in fear...
