Elder Liu nodded secretly. His impression of Jiang Chen had changed dramatically in an instant. Jiang Chen was now very pleasing to the eye. A peerless genius like Jiang Chen was generally aloof and wouldn't put anyone in his eyes. If it was someone else who could concoct a tenth grade Holy Flame Emperor Pill at such a young age, that person might not even care about Elder Liu. However, Jiang Chen behaved very humbly and showed great respect to Elder Liu, which was very rare.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Jiang. If it wasn't for you today, I wouldn't be able to raise my head in Genius Prefecture in the future. I, Xuan Zhong, still have to thank you."
Xuan Zhong said with a smile. It could be seen that he was a very upright person who wouldn't beat around the bush. His gratitude to Jiang Chen came from the bottom of his heart. He was very clear about today's situation. After his failure, the entire Dan Prefecture and Genius Prefecture had been ridiculed by the seventh prince and Great Cloud Empire. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen's timely action to save his face, even if Dongfang Yu and the fellow disciples of Dan Prefecture didn't blame him, he wouldn't be able to get over it. Therefore, he was sincerely grateful to Jiang Chen.
"What are you talking about, Senior Brother Xuan Zhong? Your alchemy skill isn't inferior to the seventh prince at all. He obviously came prepared and had a good understanding of the people of Dan Prefecture in advance. That's why he challenged you to concoct the Holy Flame Emperor Pill which has an extremely harsh requirement on the flame. Therefore, Senior Brother Xuan Zhong doesn't need to take today's matter to heart."
Jiang Chen said with a smile. These words weren't entirely to comfort Xuan Zhong. What he said was also the truth. He had seen the competition between Xuan Zhong and the seventh prince clearly. In terms of alchemy, Xuan Zhong didn't lose at all. He lost because of the flame.
"Master, since you have invited Jiang Chen, what about the assessment that will take place a few days later?"
Elder Liu suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but ask. This was the first time such a situation had happened in the Pill Palace. Because the standards set by Dongfang Yu were very strict, every time a disciple was selected, they had to pass a strict assessment. Even if they were a member of the royal family, they couldn't rely on their connections to get in through the back door because Dongfang Yu didn't care at all. The Pill Palace would never accept those who couldn't pass his standards.
"The rules can't be changed. This test will be canceled, but the next test can be set for a month later."
Dongfang Yu said coldly. His voice wasn't soft and directly spread out. At this moment, the people of Genius Prefecture were everywhere in Dan Prefecture. It was hard not to hear it.
Dongfang Yu had a dignified look on his face. In the Pill Palace, he was the absolute authority. His words were everything. Nothing could challenge Dongfang Yu's authority.
As soon as this was said, many disciples revealed looks of disappointment on their faces, especially Yu Hao and Yang Zhi. They were already extremely nervous to begin with. Now that they heard this news, they rolled their eyes and almost fainted. For this examination, they had already made ample preparations. Who would have thought that something like this would happen just as the examination was about to begin.
"That damned Jiang Chen."
Yu Hao couldn't help but curse. In his point of view, all of this was because of Jiang Chen. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen, he believed that he would definitely be able to enter Dan Prefecture with his own ability.
"Jiang Chen is a disciple of King Fan Prefecture. It seems like I have to find a way to get rid of him. Otherwise, he will be a great threat to King Ping in the future."
Yang Zhi's eyes flickered with cold light. His killing intent towards Jiang Chen had already been unconsciously revealed.
"Senior Brother Yang Zhi, I think this is a good thing. After all, the assessment has only been delayed for a month. It's not really canceled. Senior Brother can make more preparations in this one month's time. Besides, if Jiang Chen doesn't take action today, he will be the biggest threat."
A disciple of King Ping Prefecture spoke.
Yang Zhi couldn't help but nod his head. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Jiang Chen's alchemy skill was far above his. If it wasn't for the Seventh Prince, he would definitely encounter Jiang Chen in the assessment of Dan Prefecture a few days later. At that time, with Jiang Chen as a stumbling block, he might not be able to enter Dan Prefecture successfully. Now that Jiang Chen had directly entered Dan Prefecture, there would be one less powerful competitor in the assessment a month later. This was indeed a good thing.
After announcing the postponement of the assessment, Dongfang Yu's eyes fell upon Jiang Chen once more. A smile emerged on his face. He was holding the tenth grade Holy Flame Emperor Pill that Jiang Chen had just concocted. Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of desire. Although he had concealed it very well, Jiang Chen still caught it accurately.
However, Jiang Chen also expressed his understanding. A tenth grade Holy Flame Emperor Pill was after all a Venerable grade pill. Such a pill was of vital importance to Dongfang Yu. Currently, Dongfang Yu's cultivation base was at the peak of late Immortal Emperor realm, only a step away from the half-step Immortal Venerable realm. If he could get a tenth grade Holy Flame Emperor Pill, he might be able to make a breakthrough and reach the half-step Immortal Venerable realm.
"Jiang Chen, you have made a great contribution to Dan Prefecture and Genius Prefecture today. I want to reward you. Since you have concocted this pill, I will give it to you as a reward," Dongfang Yu said and handed the Holy Flame Emperor Pill to Jiang Chen.
Dongfang Yu said, then passed the Holy Flame Emperor Pill to Jiang Chen. Although he really wanted to get the Holy Flame Emperor Pill, this pill was still given to Jiang Chen as a reward. From this point alone, Dongfang Yu's temperament had already reached a level that ordinary people couldn't reach.
* Hua … … *
Such a precious reward immediately caused an uproar. Everyone knew the value of the Holy Flame Emperor Pill. A tenth grade Holy Flame Emperor Pill had already reached the Venerable grade, and it wouldn't be any weaker among the Venerable grade pills. Such a pill couldn't be seen normally. Now that this pill was given to Jiang Chen, it was truly a great reward.
"It's really enviable."
Some people clicked their tongues. Although they were envious, that was all. No one said anything. Of course, the reward was generous, but everyone thought that Jiang Chen deserved it. After all, this pill was concocted by Jiang Chen.
"Thank you, Master."
Jiang Chen immediately received the pill. He wasn't a pretentious person. He knew the preciousness of this pill better than anyone else. If he obtained it, his cultivation base would make another breakthrough, rushing straight to the early Immortal King realm. Although he knew how to concoct the Holy Flame Emperor Pill, it was impossible for him to get the required herbs. In other words, if it wasn't for Dan Prefecture providing him with the herbs, he wouldn't be able to concoct the Holy Flame Emperor Pill no matter how amazing he was.
"Good. Jiang Chen, from now on, you are a disciple of Dan Prefecture. You can enter Dan Prefecture to cultivate and have your own independent cultivation place."
