The five major families in Danyu all have extremely strong power in Danyu. In addition, relying on the reputation of the behemoth Dan Tower, they are basically able to walk sideways in Danyu.
However, this is not what the five major families value most. What they value most is actually Danta's preferential treatment of the five major families...
These five major families have been passed down from a long time ago, and the patriarchs who founded these five major families were all core members of Danta.
According to Danta's conditions, as long as the five major families can meet Danta's requirements in the future, they will all be able to occupy a seat in Danta's elders' seat!
This is the only shortcut to the core of the Dan Tower. No one knows how many people are watching it in the entire Dan Domain, or even the entire Zhongzhou.
Furthermore, in order to absorb more talented fresh blood, Danta would periodically conduct an assessment among the five major families. Only by passing could one maintain their family's status. If one failed all three assessments, they would lose their qualification to become one of the five major families, and be replaced by other powerful alchemist families...
This can be regarded as a disguised constraint imposed by Danta on the five major families.
After hearing what his father said, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "A sixth-grade junior alchemist? I remember that the minimum standard for Danta's assessment is the sixth grade, right? And to pass the assessment, you need to be at least a seventh-grade alchemist."
Ye Lan nodded with a gloomy face.
The Ye family is destined to fail this assessment...
The most important thing is that Ye Lan got the news that among the five major families, except for the Ye family, the other four families have family members who have broken through to become seventh-grade alchemists!
Ye Chen was helpless about the Ye family's current predicament.
Finally, he could only shake his head and said, "Alright. If I can't pass, then I can't pass. We still have two chances anyway. I will strive to break through to the seventh rank before the next assessment. Don't worry, father!"
Faced with this predicament, the only choice the Ye family could make was to lie low...
Ye Lan looked at his son, who had already grown into a handsome young man. Judging from his appearance and behavior, who would have thought that he was only a thirteen-year-old child.
The heavy responsibility of the family was placed on him too early, causing Ye Chen to lose too much of his childhood. Whenever Ye Lan thought of this, he would feel guilty.
However, this guilty father didn't know that his son possessed a maturity that was no less than his own. In fact, his two lifetimes combined, he was even older than him...
If Ye Chen were really asked to be like those little brats, he would definitely not be able to bear it first!
"By the way, father, I have a recipe for an elixir that I researched myself. Although it's only a second-grade elixir, it's still very useful for those of my Ye family below the Fighter level. I can organize the alchemists in the family to refine some."
Ye Chen thought of something and took out a red pill recipe from his storage ring, and handed it to Ye Lan while speaking.
"What did you say?"
Ye Lan, who had just been feeling guilty, was confused for a moment when he heard what his eldest son said.
"The recipe for the elixir you researched?"
Ye Lan stared at Ye Chen with a look of shock on his face.
You're only thirteen years old, and you're researching pill formulas? Is that something you can do?
Ye Chen looked at his startled old father, speechless, and directly placed the scroll in his hand on the desk in front of him.
"The name of the pill is: Pei Yuan Pill. I improved it based on the Bai family's foundation-building pill. It can be used by fighters and below. It not only strengthens the body and improves the user's physique, but also accelerates cultivation."
Of course, this is definitely not as simple as just improving the Foundation Establishment Pill. Ye Chen also borrowed the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid that the Chinese medicine master in the original book had refined for Xiao Yan. After three years of continuous attempts, the Peiyuan Pill was born.
This can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants, but achieving this level is by no means easy!
Ye Lan quickly picked up the scroll and carefully read the recipe on it...
"This is really..." Ye Lan couldn't help but exclaimed.
He really didn't expect that his eldest son could actually come up with such a good thing!
"Sure enough! As expected of my son, Ye Lan, you are indeed a natural alchemist!"
This last boastful remark made Ye Chen unable to help but roll his eyes at his cheap father...
Don't you know what your talents are?
If he really inherited your talent as an alchemist, even if Ye Chen really has a golden finger, he may not be able to grow up!
After finishing the discussion, Ye Chen said goodbye to his busy father and returned to the backyard to find his mother.
Ye Chen's mother, Song Chun'er, is a very optimistic and carefree woman. She is also an alchemist, and her talent is even stronger than that of her father Ye Lan.
Both of them are in their thirties, but Song Chun'er is already a genuine sixth-grade junior alchemist and a five-star Douhuang, while his father Ye Lan is still stuck at the peak of the fifth grade. Only the strength of a seven-star Douhuang can make him feel a little confident in front of his wife.
However, it was precisely because of Song Chuner's talent that she, who came from an ordinary background, was able to sit on the position of the mistress of the Ye family, one of the five major families in Danyu.
Of course, a big part of the reason for this is that she has given birth to a good son for the Ye family!
"Mother!"
In the garden, Ye Chen saw his mother fiddling with a "little thing" in her hands.
Seeing her son whom she hadn't seen for many days, Song Chun'er was obviously much more enthusiastic than Ye Lan, the father. She gave him a big hug and then spun him around by the ear like a steering wheel...
"You little brat! You still remember to come and see your mother. Tell me, how long has it been since you left your little yard? Look at Xin Lan, she almost doesn't recognize you as her brother..."
Listening to his mother's complaints that sounded like machine gun fire, Ye Chen could only roll his eyes and try hard to pull his head out of her arms.
Looking down along my mother's body, I saw a cute little guy hugging my mother's thigh, blinking his confused big eyes at me.
Ye Chen was instantly melted by this little thing...
He bent down and picked her up, then kissed her fiercely on the fair and tender face, and asked with a smile: "Xinlan, do you still remember your brother?"
Watching her son's actions, Song Chun'er had no choice but to stop. Then, after hearing what Ye Chen said, she rolled her eyes and said coldly, "I don't remember you at all! Xinlan is only four years old. She hasn't seen you for more than half a year. Who would even know who you are?"
But just as her mother's voice fell, Xiao Xinlan, who finally reacted, blinked her big, sparkling eyes, and in Ye Chen's delighted eyes, she called out crisply, "Brother!"
Just two simple words, and the soul of Ye Chen, a man in his thirties, melted instantly. He just grinned and laughed foolishly...
