Chapter 45: Genius? (Seeking Recommendations!!!)

  "Uncle, they don't want to see us, let's go back." Ye Chen said, coldly staring at the large door of the east wing. This Li Dashi only entertained Yunjia Fortress, didn't they have some connection? Even high-level pharmacists can climb up, Yunjia Fortress is indeed omnipotent.

  Ye Chen clenched his fists, wanting to take down Yunjia Fortress might drag out more enemies, but since Yunjia Fortress had been bullying them so much, even if he had to poke a hole in the sky, he wouldn't let Yunjia Fortress get away with it!

  Ye Family Fort and Yun Family Fort must have a showdown!

  Ye Cangxuan let out a faint sigh and said, "Let's go."

  "Uncle, being a pharmacist isn't anything special, you don't have to feel disappointed." Ye Chen comforted Ye Cangxuan, he could very well understand his uncle's feelings. His uncle had devoted his entire life to the Ye family, not even marrying or having children, with only the clan's people in mind. Although he knew that the Ye family members' physical constitution didn't have the fire system talent, it was difficult for them to become pharmacists, but he still held deep hopes, hoping that the Ye family would produce a pharmacist, exchanging for a hundred years of peace.

  "En, let's go back." Ye Cangxuan nodded, although he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but not too sad.

  The two went together to the guest room in Nanxiang, just next to where Mo Feng and others were staying.

  East Wing Cottage.

  The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, which Yun Yi Yang had specially arranged after learning about Master Li's preferences. A middle-aged man in a gray robe sat in the chair directly in front of the living room, although he was over 40 years old, his skin still looked like that of a child, full of vitality, and every move he made exuded an air of nobility. He held his tea cup, took a sip, and gazed at the two people below him.

  "Master Lei, this is the most talented young person in our Yun family's younger generation. At just 18 years old, he has already reached the peak of the seventh rank." Yun Yi Xuan said respectfully, looking at Lei Huan in front of him, his heart feeling a bit apprehensive.

  Even when facing the Duke of Donglin, Yún Yì Xuán didn't feel such great pressure. Even if it was the Duke of Donglin, he would still have to be polite in front of a high-ranking pharmacist.

  "At the age of eighteen, he has reached the seventh level of the peak, which is not bad. I don't know how his innate talent for fire-based martial arts is, or how his control over Xuan Qi is." Li Yan said calmly, having seen too many so-called geniuses before, but in the end, only a handful could become alchemists.

  "Also, please ask Master Li to test him." Yun Yi Xuan said with a humble bow.

  Yun Yi Fei also stood beside him, bowing respectfully.

  "Come here." Li You beckoned with his hand.

  Yun Yi Fei walked over to Li Xiang's side and obediently stretched out his right hand.

  Li Yan placed his hand on Yun Yi Fei's wrist, probing the Xuan Qi inside Yun Yi Fei's body. "Your Cloud Family Manor cultivates the Condensing Xuan Ring, which is a water and earth-based technique. Logically speaking, your family's physique isn't quite suitable for cultivating fire-based techniques. Yet this child is an exception, possessing some innate talent for fire-based techniques."

  Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, Yun Yi Xuan and Yun Yi Fei both had a look of surprise on their faces.

  "Fire-type innate talent, one in a hundred can be selected, but the control ability of Xuanqi is difficult to reach the requirement. Now test your control ability over Xuanqi." Li Yan glanced at the two with a calm expression, saying that Yun Yi and others were too excited, thinking back to his own experience, his Xuanqi control ability was outstanding among tens of thousands of elites before being accepted as a disciple by Xuan Yi Medicine Lord, who never accepts mediocre people!

  Li Xuan picked up a handful of sandalwood ash beside him, and although he used his hand to grab it, the sandalwood ash didn't stick to his hand at all. The ash was also very obedient, suspended in mid-air without falling out. Yun Yi Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he watched, this one move alone was something that his older brother Yun Yi Yang couldn't achieve.

  Li Hui placed the incense ash on the table and said, "Suspend your hand two inches above the incense ash, use your vital energy to transform it into the most complex pattern in your heart!"

  Yun Yi Fei was stunned, who would have thought that there was such a testing method in this world? Other alchemists only made their apprentices hit wooden stakes to test their control over the mysterious energy based on how much force the stake could withstand. Drawing a picture with the mysterious energy two inches off the ground was just too difficult, wasn't it?

  Yun Yi Fei's heart was racing, he hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, suspended it above the incense ash, and activated the mysterious energy. His arm felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The mysterious energy slowly swept over the incense ash, which gradually spread out. He drew a sword shape on its surface with a twisted and distorted line, but the lines were chaotic and unclear.

  After a short while, Yun Yi Fei's body was completely drained of its spiritual energy, and he began to pant heavily, his entire body drenched in sweat.

  Yun Yi Xuan watched from the side, his heart racing with excitement. If he were to do it himself, he probably wouldn't be able to draw a complete sword, let alone condense the mysterious energy in his palm into a single strand and draw in mid-air. This was an incredibly difficult task, and the twisted test of Xuan Yi Yao Zun's selection of disciples truly sent chills down one's spine.

  "Master Lei, is this up to your requirements?" Yun Yi asked nervously, looking at Lei Huan.

  Li Yan shook his head and said, "Yun Yi Fei's control over the mysterious energy is barely passable among ordinary people. If he finds a good teacher and works hard, it's possible for him to become an entry-level pharmacist in his lifetime. However, wanting to enter my master's sect is still not enough!"

  Yun Yi Xuan and Yun Yi Fei were both delighted and worried. Delighted that Yun Yi Fei's talent could make him a pharmacist, but worried that he couldn't enter the prestigious Lei Huan's school of medicine, and thus missed out on learning from the revered Xuan Yi Yao Zun.

  "Master Lei, can you make an exception and let Yun Yi Fei follow you as a medicine apprentice?" Yun Yi Xuan begged, "If we can let Yi Fei follow you, the Cloud Manor is willing to give you a generous gift."

  Li Yan's face turned cold, and he said: "You think I'm greedy for your money? Even if it were a small apprentice refining medicine, his talent is still far from enough. A small apprentice refining medicine needs to control the fire on the side, if he makes a mistake, destroys a furnace of Dan medicine, even if you mortgage the entire Cloud House, you can't afford it!"

  Yun Yi smiled wryly and said, "Master Li, please don't be offended. I misspoke, please forgive me." As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it and wanted to slap his own mouth. How could Master Li, a high-level pharmacist, possibly lack money? Just like Master Li had said, all the wealth of Yun's castle couldn't compare to one furnace of his elixir!

  "Let's go." Li Xiang waved his hand, feeling listless and dispirited.

  "Master Li has traveled far and is tired, please rest assured." Yun Yi Xuan gave Yun Yi Fei a look, and the two of them quickly retreated.

  After leaving the east wing gate, Yun Yi Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief. Li Heng had put immense pressure on his mind.

  "This Li Xuan is too self-righteous." Yun Yi Fei said discontentedly. Among the people around him, he was already the most outstanding genius, and yet Li Xuan actually said that he wasn't even qualified to be a lowly apprentice alchemist, it really made him furious.

  "Watch your words." Yun Yi Xuan's expression turned cold as he glared at Yun Yi Fei, "If this one sentence of yours were to reach Lei You's ears, it could bring about a disaster that would destroy the Cloud Manor. Do you know that?"

  "Does Li Xun really have such incredible abilities?"

  "Am I still going to deceive you?" Yun Yi Xuan glared at Yun Yi Fei.

  Yun Yi Fei saw Yun Yi Xuan get angry and quickly shut his mouth without speaking.
