Cold Orchid and Liu Meng'er both voluntarily left, allowing Shen Xiang and Xue Xiaoxian to be alone together. Shen Xiang comforted Xue Xiaoxian, eventually making her reveal a beautiful smile.

“Xiaoxian, I’m going to participate in the alchemy competition, will you come watch” Shen Xiang held Xue Xiaoxian and sat her on his lap.

Xue Xiaoxian shook her head, "I won’t watch. Both Cold Orchid and I are working hard to cultivate now; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to keep up with your freak."

Seeing Xue Xiaoxian’s delicate, graceful face that also had a hint of seductiveness and cuteness, Shen Xiang couldn’t help but move closer. Xue Xiaoxian understood his intentions and quickly lifted her head, kissing Shen Xiang.

The two kissed for a long time. Cold Orchid and Liu Meng'er guessed what they were doing in the room, especially Liu Meng'er who was embarrassed as she thought about Shen Xiang kissing her disciple and remembered him kissing her before. She cursed silently, feeling disgusted that he had kissed both his student and disciple.

Although Cold Orchid appeared fiery and brawny, she was still inexperienced in such matters. She watched from a crack in the door and felt envious, wanting to know what it would feel like.

Shen Xiang and Xue Xiaoxian spent a little time together with Cold Orchid before Liu Meng'er brought them away. Liu Meng'er only told Shen Xiang that they were practising inside the Ice Gale Canyon, where it would benefit them greatly.

Originally, Shen Xiang planned to bring Liu Meng'er back to the Martial Power Sect for him to obtain the Azureyuan Fruit, but he didn't expect her to have it. Noticing him needing it, she gave him the fruit without hesitation and generously.

Liu Meng'er would take Xue Xiaoxian and Cold Orchid back after a few days, but Shen Xiang didn’t tell her about the Level 5 alchemist evaluation. He wanted to surprise her when she returned.

After obtaining the Azureyuan Fruit, Shen Xiang had all his ingredients ready for evaluation. Liu Meng'er asked to see Xue Xiaoxian and Cold Orchid not just to comfort her, but also because they would be closing themselves in for a period of time to cultivate.

Last time, Shen Xiang had been worried when he couldn't practice with Cold Orchid. He once told Liu Meng'er about it, causing him much concern.

Alchemist Fragrance Pagoda! This massive tower was the holy land of many alchemists and also the place where certification exams were held. The examinations were strict, equally so for everyone.

"What You’re going to take Level 5 evaluation now" Hu Xiangyue, dressed elegantly in a fine gown, exclaimed.

Shen Xiang looked at Hu Xiangyue’s regal attire, feeling weird. "You didn’t hear me wrong; I’m taking the evaluation now. I’ll provide the ingredients for two types of pills."

Alchemy evaluations were harder than usual because of the pressure from crowds watching and waiting for their turn. This was why many often failed.

"Bad boy, don’t joke around! Don’t waste the ingredients. Be good," Hu Xiangyue advised.

Confident in himself, Shen Xiang was displeased by Hu Xiangyue’s small view of him. However, he knew she only did it out of concern for his preservation of valuable ingredients.

"Sister, you underestimate me. If I pass the Level 5 low evaluation, what will you do" Shen Xiang teased with a devilish smile. He was ready to gamble with Hu Xiangyue, hoping to gain an advantage.

"Then go take the evaluation. I’ll supervise," Hu Xiangyue pouted, not being swayed by his antics.

Shen Xiang felt strange; normally, people would take small bets, but Hu Xiangyue didn’t. He was somewhat disappointed.

A Level 5 low alchemist only needed to create three Kindred Spirit Lower Rank Alchemy Pill. Hu Xiangyue knew Shen Xiang could create the Beast Essence Pill and Foundation Building Pill, but these were simpler to create as they were Lower Rank Alchemy Pills of the Kindred Spirit grade. She couldn't think of other Alchemy Pills he could make.

Highly respected in the Alchemist Fragrance Valley, Hu Xiangyue was like Dan Elders and Wu Kaimesheng from the Martial Power Sect, having decision-making power on a large scale. Quickly, she called three Level 5 alchemists over; although there were only three of them, their presence was enough to prove Shen Xiang’s alchemy process.

Similar to the previous time, Shen Xiang entered a room. The three alchemists were delighted when they learned of this young genius alchemist, all wanting to see him. As they were already in the Alchemist Fragrance Pagoda to practice alchemy, they arrived quickly.

The three alchemists were two old men with white hair and one elderly lady, all very old but respectfully reverent towards Hu Xiangyue.

Not knowing who they were from appearance alone, Shen Xiang was astonished when he learned their names. In the alchemy community, there existed a ranking list of many outstanding alchemists. Though Shen Xiang had seen it before, remembering their names meant he was exceptionally talented among Level 5 alchemists. It was rumored that they had the potential to become Level 6 alchemists.

Shen Xiang respectfully greeted the three old alchemists. They sat beside the rock chair next to Hu Xiangyue, waiting for him to begin.

Shen Xiang only needed ingredients provided by the Alchemist Fragrance Pagoda for the Beast Essence Pill, while he provided everything else.

"I wonder if besides Foundation Building Pill and Beast Essence Pill, what other Kindred Spirit Lower Rank Alchemy Pills you’ll create" An old man asked curiously. At only thirty, Shen Xiang was already a genius even among geniuses for being able to create two Kindred Spirit Lower Rank Alchemy Pills. However, these old men could tolerate it because they were not complex Kindred Spirit Lower Rank Alchemy Pills.

Shen Xiang teased, "Alchemy is boring. I’ll let you guess what pill I’m making once I finish."

The old lady smiled kindly, "Such a playful boy… hahaha."

Hu Xiangyue only hummed silently. She was curious but had asked Shen Xiang before, who refused to tell her.

Shen Xiang’s Spirit Essence Pill was a very rare pill that had only appeared in records since its ingredients and pills were long gone. He started with the Beast Essence Pill, the easiest to create, warming up for him, as he calmly handled his ingredients. This was a preliminary step that also tested people’s skills, though it seemed slow. However, he was very proficient and managed to speed up while appearing calm, making the old men marvel.

To be able to handle ingredients so well meant he had practiced many pills before, allowing him to speed up his process and save time when creating large quantities.

The Great Flame Phoenix Furnace was a powerful pill furnace, yet it seemed unimpressive in the old men’s eyes. Perhaps their pill furnaces were more magnificent and beautiful than Shen Xiang’s.

After handling his ingredients efficiently, Shen Xiang quickly threw them into the furnace. His movements were swift and precise from when he took out his ingredients until now.

In an instant, Shen Xiang began pouring fire into the furnace. The room was soon filled with warmth.iang's chest and head!Shen Xiang didn't show any weakness, swinging his saber wildly. Golden light burst from the blade of his saber like a roar of golden dragon, and when that golden dragon appeared,...
