“This little guy’s strength seems to have improved again.”
He muttered inwardly, taking the jade bottle without opening it and directly speaking to everyone.
“Alchemist Lu Yun has passed the assessment and is hereby promoted to Third Grade Alchemist. There shouldn’t be any objections, right?”
“Isn’t that obvious? If a 100% success rate in pill refinement and a terrifying 40% rate of top-quality pills can’t pass the assessment, then there are hardly any qualified Third Grade Alchemists in the Alchemist Alliance.”
After saying that, Deng He went straight to Lu Yun’s side, slapped his shoulder forcefully, and laughed loudly: “Kid Lu Yun, you’re our hope to bring glory to the Spirit Martial Prefecture branch in this year’s Alchemy Conference.”
“I’ll give it my best.”
Lu Yun’s eyes were shining, exuding a brilliant shine of confidence.
He was determined to win the fire seed, which was the reward for being the champion of the Third Grade Alchemists. It was the key to becoming a Fourth Rank Alchemist!
Soon after completing all the procedures, someone brought him the badge and clothes for a Third Grade Alchemist.
In addition, he also received the Prohibition Token for the alchemy room on the third floor of Sun View Palace.
In the Spirit Martial Prefecture branch of the Alchemist Alliance, there weren’t many Third Grade Alchemists. Every Third Grade Alchemist had their individual alchemy room.
After completing all the procedures, Lu Yun went straight to Bright Sun Palace.
His purpose was simple—to collect alchemy materials. However, the result left him greatly disappointed.
Steward Liu told him that the materials could only be collected once a month, and Lu Yun still had half a month to wait.
What disappointed Lu Yun the most was that each Third Grade Alchemist only received a hundred batches of materials per month at most.
Lu Yun, heavy-hearted, left Bright Sun Palace, his return having been less satisfying than the departure.
“Fine, it’s been a while since I visited the Martial Academy. It’s time to go back.”
Before leaving the county capital, Lu Yun spent twenty spirit crystals to buy a large number of spirit herbs, refined many First Grade and Second Grade pills, and replenished the empty shelves of Fly Cloud Pavilion.
Myriad Phenomena Tower.
A lofty and magnificent tower extends into the sky. Many disciples of the Martial Academy are gathered on the vast and empty Myriad Phenomena Square.
Among them, there are many outstanding Level 5 Innate Talent geniuses from the new disciples, and even a few powerful Star Palace disciples.
At this time, a cute and petite girl emerges from the Myriad Phenomena Tower, standing on her tiptoes to look at the crowd, quickly spotting Chen Yawei wearing a light purple dress, and immediately running over to her.
“Sister, 1 almost passed the ninth level!” Chen Menghan said excitedly.
“Little sister is amazing, keep up the good work, and aim to pass next time,” Chen Yawei said indulgently.
“Hehe, okay, and then we’ll enter the Star Palace together,” Chen Menghan said with a sly grin, her beautiful eyes scanning the crowd before frowning. “Why are so many people coming to Myriad Phenomena Tower today? Has something happened?”
“That person has arrived,” Chen Yawei looked at Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall.
At that moment, an individual’s information had completely filled the top area of the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall.
“Congratulations, Gu Yuan, for passing the ninth level of Myriad Phenomena Tower!”
“Congratulations, Gu Yuan, for passing the tenth level of Myriad Phenomena Tower!”
“Congratulations, Gu Yuan, for passing the eleventh level of Myriad Phenomena Tower!”
At this moment, everyone was staring at the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall, as if something there had captured their attention.
Among them was a young man with keen eyes and a determined expression, carrying a heavy big knife on his back. He stared intently at the jade wall.
“Gu Yuan, you’re strong, but temporary leads don’t necessarily mean permanent ones. I’ll catch up eventually.”
The young man clenched his fists and turned around, preparing to leave. However, just as he was leaving, a young man in a purple and black star robe suddenly appeared in front of him.
The moment he saw the young man, his tranquil heart began to churn.
He remembered the scene on the Black Boat in the sky when enemies attacked, and everyone had fallen except for one unyielding young man who had drawn his sword to fight.
That tragic and heroic scene often replayed in his mind.
There was no denying that the reason he chose the heavy knife as his weapon was heavily influenced by the image of that unyielding and stalwart young man.
As the figure from his memory overlapped with the young man before him, a touch of excitement and admiration emerged in Baili Yi’s eyes.
“Lu…Senior Brother Lu.”
“Haha, 1 remember you, Baili Yi, right?” Lu Yun joked with a smile.
Lu Yun had a deep impression of Baili Yi.
The first time they met, Baili Yi had sandbags weighing tens of pounds tied to his legs, and he revealed a five-star top talent innate gift. How could he not remember?
“Hmm?” Lu Yun’s gaze fell on the heavy saber behind Baili Yi and smiled slightly.
This heavy saber wasn’t sharpened, but it gave a sense of heaviness.
After sizing up Baili Yi a few times, Lu Yun laughed, “You seem to be in peak condition, not like you just came out of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.”
Bai Li Yi glanced back at the Myriad Phenomena Tower and shook his head, “I’m not confident enough about the tenth floor yet. This time, 1 came for someone else to see how big the gap is between him and me…”
At this point, his tone paused slightly, then he sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, “That gap will take me a very long time to catch up.”
Lu Yun laughed, “Oh, are you confident? Or are you prepared?”
After a moment of silence, Baili Yi said slowly, “Honestly, I don’t know if I’m confident, but I won’t give up. I’m prepared to catch up all the way.”
Lu Yun didn’t comment on this, he just said, “It’s pretty good to have a goal, but you should always understand that any goal is just a way of motivation.”
With that, Lu Yun’s figure flickered, and he disappeared from Baili Yi’s sight.
As for Lu Yun’s arrival, few people knew about it, apart from Baili Yi.
At this time, most people’s attention was focused on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall.
Gu Yuan’s name began to spread only among a small number of new disciples, but two months ago, he passed eight floors of the Myriad Phenomena Tower in one go, which caused a sensation in the Martial Academy.
Gradually, his feat of breaking the Innate Talent Stone with his talent was also dug up, and it was found out that he even became the Dean’s closed-door disciple. This made Gu Yuan’s fame surpass the previous generation of Bai Haoxuan, Xiao Chen, and Lu Yun.
Especially since Xiao Chen and Lu Yun had disappeared from Flying Spirit Martial Academy.
Now, the news of Gu Yuan’s return to the Myriad Phenomena Tower after two months of silence had attracted the attention of many Martial Academy disciples.
Gu Yuan did not disappoint everyone. He barely entered the Myriad Phenomena Tower, and soon he entered the ninth, tenth, and eleventh floors with unstoppable momentum.
“Senior Brother Lu and I have similar five-star innate gifts, but 1 feel that catching up with him is ten or a hundred times harder than catching up with Gu Yuan…”
Looking at Lu Yun, who had disappeared before his eyes, Baili Yi muttered in his heart.
Standing on the summit of a tall mountain on the sixteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, the mountain peak howled, and Lu Yun stood there for a long time.
“Strange, what’s going on here? Are they asking me to enjoy the scenery?”
Although he grumbled, Lu Yun still enjoyed the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
“Only by climbing to the top, can one look down upon every mountain. 1 am barely standing at the summit of genius now, but a genius is still far from a powerful person.”
“Only by truly becoming strong and standing at the pinnacle of power can one completely look down upon the mountains.”

Just as Lu Yun was passionately expressing his ambitions, a sudden sound of an eagle’s cry interrupted his thoughts.
In the high sky, a strong wind was blowing, and the shadows of five huge birds cast a large shadow on the sky, diving rapidly. Their speed was extremely fast, like falling stars.
Each of the giant birds was about four to five feet tall, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, covered in golden feathers. As they dived down, they brought golden light all over the sky, and their momentum was extremely frightening. “Seeking death!”
Cold light flickered in Lu Yun’s eyes, and with a punch, the air exploded, and a terrifying fist formed from Pure Yang Aura charged up to pierce through everything.
The cries of agony echoed through the sky, and one of the golden giant birds immediately turned into golden light, disappearing in the horizon.
As the other four giant birds dived down, the light of thunder flickered.
With the terrifying power of his flesh, it was as if he could shatter mountains and rivers, and the air kept booming.
Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the gigantic golden birds were blasted into spirit light.
Lu Yun stood afront the wind, his clothes rustling in the breeze.
In just a few breaths of time, relying on the power of his strong body, he killed five fourth-rank early-stage demon beasts.
This power was simply terrifying and unrivaled!
