NOVEL WEB Chapter 140 This Kid Can't Go
Su Chen smiled and then the aura of the light sphere immediately changed.
The Elder put away his surprise. Although the Boundless Spirit Eye is rare, some exceptional geniuses can also possess it.
Next, it will depend on Su Chen's alchemy strength. After all, the Boundless Spirit Eye has many uses, not just for alchemy, but also for combat.
The spiritual energy of the spirit stone flowed through Su Chen's body, and then the light sphere emitted a voice.
"Su Chen, a high-grade fifth-stage alchemist, current cultivation level, Primordial Yang Realm fifth level."
The Elder was completely stunned.
Su Chen was also stunned.
Due to the weak alchemy strength of the Veiled Spirit Sect and the lack of a light sphere that can determine the rank of alchemists, Su Chen did not know the specific grade of his alchemy.
To be honest, the result of the light sphere's assessment greatly exceeded Su Chen's expectations. He never expected that he had already reached the realm of a high-grade alchemist.
Initial grade, middle grade, high grade, peak grade. These are the ranks of alchemists in this small world, and each grade is divided into nine stages.
Although Su Chen had anticipated that his alchemy strength should not be low, because he had already read all the books in the Veiled Spirit Sect's alchemy pavilion, his natural alchemy strength was not lacking.
In Su Chen's original prediction, reaching the middle grade should not be a problem, and he might even reach the seventh or eighth stage of the middle grade.
He just didn't expect that he had underestimated himself. He had actually reached the realm of a high-grade alchemist, and a high-grade fifth-stage alchemist at that!
Su Chen did not notice the Elder's astonished expression.
A high-grade alchemist is rare even in the Medicine Sect. A high-grade fifth-stage alchemist is almost on par with the strength of the elders. However, Su Chen was only in his twenties, while the youngest of the elders was already seventy years old.
Su Chen's talent can be said to be unparalleled.
The Elder had practiced medicine for over a hundred years and had trained countless disciples, but he had never seen anyone with such talent and cultivation at such a young age.
The spiritual energy slowly dissipated, and Su Chen's assessment was complete.
Su Chen turned his head and looked at the Elder, asking, "Have I passed the test now?"
The Elder's eyes flickered, and suddenly, a sly smile appeared on his face.
He shook his head.
"No, you haven't passed the test. To enter Kunlun Mountain, you must reach the level of a peak-grade alchemist."
Su Chen frowned.
A peak-grade alchemist is something that may not appear for hundreds of years. Most of those who reach the level of a peak-grade alchemist are recruited by super sects.
Some peak-grade alchemists have even ascended to the Great Thousand World.
Is the Elder deliberately making things difficult for him?
While Su Chen was thinking, the other elders had already arrived.
They landed slowly in their original positions.
"Elder, how did the assessment go?"
The Elder did not answer directly, but walked to the side and whispered to the other elders.
Then, the expressions of the other elders suddenly changed, but soon, their expressions returned to calm.
Su Chen tentatively asked, "Is it too high to require a peak-grade alchemist to go to Kunlun Mountain?"
"Not high, not high!"
The second elder leaned in, smiling.
"You can stay and have a meal first. I'll tell you slowly. The requirements for entering Kunlun Mountain have changed a long time ago. It's not that easy to enter Kunlun Mountain."
Su Chen was a little confused. Why did it feel like the attitudes of these elders suddenly changed a lot?
Just now, they seemed to hope that he could pass the assessment and enter Kunlun Mountain smoothly. Now, why do they seem to want him to stay?
Su Chen didn't want to cause any conflicts. After all, Tang Qianqian's star power hadn't changed for now.
For the time being, Tang Qianqian shouldn't have any problems.
Su Chen was arranged by the elders to stay in a small wooden house.
Su Chen sat in front of a stone table and began to study the knowledge about poisons written by the old man in the Tao Te Ching.
Time passed minute by minute.
At this moment, the elders gathered in the hall.
"We absolutely cannot let this kid leave!"
"This talented alchemist must not be let out of here."
"Among the current disciples, even if ten more years pass, no one will be able to reach the strength of a high-grade alchemist. The seventh elder's position has been vacant for a long time."
"Yeah, since Zhang Lao doesn't want to become an elder, it's fine if we make this kid the seventh elder."
A few elders whispered to each other.
"But how do we make this kid stay?"
"No, we'll catch him and tie him up. Keep him locked up for ten days, and if he doesn't stay here, we won't feed him."
"Forget it, he's a strong cultivator at the fifth level of the Primordial Yang Realm. The few of us might not be able to defeat him."
Su Chen was reading a book on the stone table when he suddenly started sneezing frequently.
Su Chen was a bit puzzled. Could it be that he had been overworked recently and caught a cold?
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
Su Chen looked up and saw a young disciple approaching not far away.
The young disciple had a fair complexion and a spiritual look in his eyes.
He walked up to Su Chen and said seriously, "Seventh Elder, all the elders are asking you to participate in the ceremony."
Seventh Elder?
When did he become an elder?
Su Chen was confused, but still followed the young disciple towards the palace.
Su Chen followed the young disciple into the palace. The palace, which originally had few people, was now crowded with hundreds of disciples.
These disciples were all the disciples of the Medicine Sect, estimated to be several hundred in number.
The lowest cultivation level among these disciples was at the second level of the middle-grade Alchemist.
Those who didn't reach this level couldn't enter the Medicine Sect at all.
When Su Chen entered, the people around him all looked at him.
The seventh elder that the elders were talking about, was this young man?
Impossible, how could someone who became an elder be so young?
But since the young disciple brought him here, it must be correct.
There was a lot of discussion around.
Su Chen slowly walked into the palace, and the disciples made way for him.
Su Chen was surprised and flattered.
He looked up and saw several elders on the platform.
The Grand Elder had a smile on his face and announced to all the disciples, "All disciples, please pay your respects to our seventh elder!"
All the disciples bowed.
Su Chen was stunned.
He approached the Grand Elder and whispered, "Grand Elder, did you make a mistake?"
The Grand Elder shook his head and said, "No, seriously, you are now the seventh elder of our Medicine Sect."
"No, no, no!"
Su Chen quickly shook his head.
"Grand Elder, you've got it wrong. I want to go to Kunlun Mountain, not be an elder here."
The Grand Elder pretended not to hear and then turned his head and smiled, "You must be the seventh elder."
Su Chen smiled bitterly.
Fine.
It seems that he has to stay in the Medicine Sect for a while.
Three days later, Su Chen came out of the wooden house. Today, he was going to do something big.
Escape!
Although the treatment in the Medicine Sect was good, he could have all kinds of rare medicinal materials from the sect and use them freely.
But Su Chen still had a lot of important things to do and absolutely couldn't stay here.
Originally, Su Chen thought it would be nice to become an elder. The Medicine Sect had hundreds of alchemists, all of them geniuses. The weakest among them were middle-grade alchemists. The elders were all high-grade alchemists. This was an extremely powerful force and had considerable influence in this world. But the Grand Elder and the others were quite conservative, saying that the Medicine Sect should not get involved in worldly conflicts...
What's the point of being an elder then?
And most importantly, the Medicine Sect prohibited love affairs.
Su Chen's cultivation progress mainly relied on getting married and having children. If he stayed here, his cultivation would probably be stuck at the fifth level of the Primordial Yang Realm forever.
