Among these figures that appeared, Ye Chen could only recognize one, that is, Danta Elder Mu Rong who had gone to the Ye family to mourn the ancestor Ye Xun.
However, this person is now one of the eight elders, so it is not surprising that he appears there.
As for the others...
"Do you see the old man in the middle? That's Danta's current president, President Xuankong!" Ye Zhong whispered softly in Ye Chen's ear.
"As for the others, they should be the eight elders and some of the top leaders of Danta."
Ye Chen's gaze slowly swept across the dozen or so figures as Ye Zhong introduced them, and then stopped at the three figures in the middle...
The old man in the middle, dressed in a white robe, looked ordinary and kind. When Ye Chen looked at him, he noticed it instantly, and then Ye Chen felt that he smiled at him slightly...
Ye Chen was not surprised that the other party was able to discover him. After all, if he guessed correctly, this person was not far from being a ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster. Even if his soul power was not at the heavenly realm, it was at the spiritual realm.
This kind of existence is naturally extremely sensitive to everything around it.
But what Ye Chen found strange was the other party's faint smile, which seemed to be expressing goodwill towards him, but also seemed not to be. This made him feel a little uneasy.
On the left and right sides of President Xuankong, there are two people whose presence he cannot sense at all.
The old man on his left had quite dark skin and a tense face, giving off a stern and unsmiling vibe. His eyes were like lightning, piercing one's soul and causing pain.
The one on the right surprised Ye Chen, who already knew their identities, because it was a beautiful woman in a cheongsam...
Although the three giants of Danta are hundreds of years old, their appearance is similar to that of women in their thirties. Their expressions are indifferent, and there is a hint of the charm of time.
"Grandpa, do you know who the two people next to President Xuankong are?" Ye Chen turned to look at Ye Chong and asked specifically.
If Ye Chen remembered correctly, the three giants of Danta, except for the president Xuan Kongzi, were little known to the outside world.
Even within the Dan Tower, that mysterious female alchemy master was a very mysterious existence...
Otherwise, in the original novel, when Cao Ying stood out, she would not be called the most promising one to become the first of the three female giants in Danta in a thousand years... because these three female giants had actually appeared a long time ago!
"Well…" Ye Zhong's expression was also solemn. After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "Those two should be the three giants of Danta along with President Xuankong. But I have never heard of a female alchemist among the three giants…"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, confirming that his grandfather and even the Ye family might not know about Xuan Yi's existence.
"If I remember correctly, this Xuan Yi confessed his love to Yao Chen when he was young, right? But he was rejected by that old man..."
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
This ability to show mercy everywhere, is it worthy of a master and disciple? The master is like this, and the disciple is even more extreme. However, in the end, the disciple is far stronger than the master...
Fortunately, Yao Chen still had Master Feng in the end, otherwise his life would have been too miserable!
…
…
As the bell rang, Mu Rong, after receiving a signal from Xuan Kongzi, took a step forward and arrived in mid-air.
Looking at the densely packed crowd below, he said loudly, "I am Mu Rong, the elder of Danta, and the chief examiner of this assessment. All participants, please come to the center of the square!"
Following Mu Rong's words, all those who were preparing to participate in the assessment began to head towards the center from all directions. Along the way, the envious eyes around them made these young people feel a little proud. Each of them made up their minds to get the last spot!
It's a pity that wishes are beautiful, but reality is very cruel...
Ye Chen looked at the young sixth-grade alchemist in front of him. He couldn't help but feel regretful when he saw that he was directly prevented from entering the venue because the badge he wore was not issued by Danta.
However, rules are rules. If you break the rules, whether intentionally or unintentionally, you will be eliminated. This is fair to everyone.
Ye Chen didn't care how sad or angry the eliminated person was. He just walked silently to the Danta Elder who was in charge of the initial screening and bowed silently.
Looking at Ye Chen's young face, the other party was obviously slightly surprised, especially when he saw the badge on the former's chest that represented the level of a sixth-grade peak alchemist, which made him look at Ye Chen deeply.
"Okay, you can go in."
There is no need to tell your name or anything. After all, it is just the first screening and it is not that strict.
"Thank you very much."
Ye Chen bowed slightly again, then turned and walked through the human wall formed by Danta guards and entered the center of the square.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the team of thousands of people in the center of the square.
"It seems that this world really is not short of geniuses..."
Those who were able to enter here had all passed the initial screening of the Dan Tower. There were actually over a thousand sixth-grade alchemists under the age of thirty...
Ye Chen looked around deliberately, but did not see Song Qing. It was obvious that he was somewhere, but because of the crowd, it was not easy for the two to see each other.
But it doesn't matter. With their strength and talent, they will definitely be able to reach the final stage, and we will naturally see them then.
The assessment is still going on, but this time it's about understanding the medicinal properties of herbs...
Danta prepared a scroll for each person, which recorded the medicinal properties of some herbs, and asked the candidates to find the herbs according to their medicinal properties...
Of course, this is not like the Alchemy Club in the original book, which directly allows participants to enter the Alchemy Realm to look for medicine. The Dan Tower just opens a medicine warehouse, and then everyone goes in to find the medicine they need.
However, this gave Ye Chen a superficial understanding of Danta's terrifying background...
Looking at the long passage he was in, both sides were covered with a layer of milky white jade. Even the floor under his feet was made up of extremely neat pieces of white jade pieced together without any gaps. The faint fluorescent light emitted by those white jades just illuminated the entire passage.
"What a generous gesture."
Ye Chen let out a sound of surprise.
These white jades are not ordinary things. The Ye family has always used this kind of white jade to make medicine bottles. It is very effective in preserving medicinal materials.
Moreover, in such a confined space, those precious medicinal materials will hardly lose any of their medicinal properties, and the storage time can be greatly extended. This arrangement is even more suitable than those high-level storage rings.
