After learning that Ye Chen was going to Danta to take the alchemist assessment, the third elder immediately took him there personally.
However, this proposal was finally rejected by Ye Chen...
"Third Elder, I will not be directly assessing the sixth-grade alchemist this time. Instead, I will be assessing the fifth-grade peak alchemist..."
Before Ye Chen could finish his words, he was interrupted by the puzzled voice of the Third Elder.
"Why? Do you know what becoming a sixth-rank alchemist means to our Ye family and to yourself?" The Third Elder's face changed, and he asked with a hint of anger.
A fifteen-year-old sixth-grade alchemist, who also comes from one of the five major families, will definitely be valued by the top leaders of Danta, and can even directly obtain the status of a core disciple!
This will be of great benefit to both the Ye family, which is rapidly declining, and Ye Chen's future growth in alchemy skills!
It's a pity that if Ye Chen hadn't read the original novel, he would have chosen to take this step without hesitation...
But with a deep understanding of the plot of the original novel, knowing that there are several treasures in the northwest continent that are very important to himself and even to the Ye family, how can Ye Chen watch them slip away from his hands?
However, these things were different from his adventures in the Misty Valley. He couldn't tell anyone about them, including his closest parents and grandfather. So Ye Chen could only give a vague reason and said, "Third Elder, after returning to the family this time, I will be out again soon, and the time may be a bit long, so I'd better talk about entering the Dan Tower later..."
The Third Elder was obviously not satisfied with Ye Chen's answer. "Still want to go out? Why? For you, joining Danta now is the most advantageous choice, right?"
Regardless of whether the Third Elder understood or not, Ye Chen would not change his next itinerary, but he still said: "Third Elder, if you think so...
This time, after a year away from home, I've already reached Dou Wang level, and my alchemy skills have reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist. If I were given another year or two, perhaps my strength would skyrocket again!
By then, at my age, I might be able to attract the attention of the real top leaders of Danta, or even the giants of Danta. If I can then become a disciple of a Danta giant, wouldn't that be a better choice than joining Danta as a core disciple now?"
Ye Chen's words made the three elders laugh out loud...
"You little brat! Do you really think that an adventure like this one is so easy to come by? If that's the case, then it's not an adventure!"
However, the Third Elder could not deny the peculiarities that Ye Chen had shown since childhood. Especially the various miraculous experiences during this journey, which were unheard of even after living for decades.
"Perhaps, this is a person born with destiny, blessed by heaven..."
Thinking of this, the Third Elder shook his head and said, "Well, you have been mature and steady since you were young. Since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more. However, I still want to remind you that stability is the most important thing in everything!
Your talent and your identity have already destined your path of growth to be smoother than most people, so there's absolutely no need to take risks. Remember?"
Ye Chen could naturally feel the love and care of the Third Elder.
So after listening to his words, Ye Chen also bowed deeply and said seriously: "What the Third Elder said, I will remember it!"
After nodding, the third elder left.
…
…
The next day.
When the stars disappeared and the sun rose, Ye Chen also stopped practicing for the night.
Ever since switching to practicing the Heavenly Rank Advanced Technique, Ye Chen's cultivation has been progressing at a rapid pace! What's even more surprising is that his acquired Primordial Star Body has increased its affinity for star power. Not only does it allow him to use star power to refine his fighting spirit and body, it has even doubled the speed at which he can condense star essence.
This can be said to be a complete surprise!
"Sir, are you awake?"
A steady voice sounded from outside the yard, and then Hu Tian's figure appeared at the gate.
Ye Chen pushed the door open, nodded, and said, "Okay, get ready, it's time for us to leave."
"yes!"
The nearest Danta assessment point to Ye Yuan is actually not far away. At the speed of the two of them, it will only take twenty to thirty minutes to arrive.
This assessment point is actually a stone tower that looks quite ancient. It is said to be built in imitation of the giant tower in the core area of Danta.
Although it was still early, outside the stone tower, countless alchemists were constantly coming and going, and the noisy noises turned into waves that spread out.
After just a glance at the stone tower, Ye Chen quickly walked in with Hu Tian.
Walking into the stone tower, Ye Chen glanced around. The area inside was unexpectedly spacious. It was no smaller than the assessment point set up by the Ye family in Ye City. It was even larger and more lively.
At this moment, there are many alchemists wearing robes representing alchemists of various levels, coming and going in the tower.
"The north of the tower is the trading area. Many alchemists will go there to trade the medicinal materials or pills they need..." After introducing them one by one, Hu Tian pointed to the north of the stone tower and said.
Although this was Hu Tian's first time at this assessment point, the areas divided into each sub-assessment point in Danta were the same, so he was so familiar with it.
After taking a look at the trading area pointed out by Hu Tian, Ye Chen did not go there out of curiosity, but planned to go and take a look after the assessment.
After all, here, he, a little guy with a third-grade alchemist badge, is not taken seriously by those people, and it is easy for him to get into trouble, so Ye Chen will not cause trouble for himself.
When the two of them arrived at the area in the south that was specifically responsible for the assessment of alchemists, Ye Chen found that there was already a long line in front of him.
After a quick look, there were probably about a hundred people...
If we wait one by one, it will probably take a long time.
"Young Master, do you want me to get through?" Hu Tian also saw this scene and couldn't help frowning, and then whispered to Ye Chen.
After thinking about it, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's do it in order..."
As a member of the Ye family, he could naturally choose to take the assessment through a special channel, but in this way everyone would know that he was a member of the Ye family.
Considering his relatively well-known name, one can know his true identity without any need for any inference.
Since he chose not to show off this time, Ye Chen didn't mind giving up his privileges and taking the assessment with these ordinary people.
