At the moment when the icy cold covered their heads, the expressions and bodies of the three people were frozen in the last moment.

  Eyes still open, the entire facial expression is vivid and lifelike.

  They can't die, but they also can't live.

  They were rescued, but they are also disabled. Their bones have been penetrated by the cold air of the ice, and every time it rains or winds, they will be in unbearable pain.

  The dantian has long been ruptured, pierced by the icy cold air.

  Three ice sculptures were left behind, and Liu Wuxie had already disappeared from the scene, reappearing in the alchemy room area.

  Row upon row of alchemy rooms were built at the foot of the mountain range, channeling in earth fire to create a series of large and small alchemy chambers.

  Each alchemy room consumes a different amount of academic credits, with higher levels requiring more credits.

  Divided into four levels: First-level Alchemy Room, Second-level Alchemy Room, Third-level Alchemy Room, Fourth-level Alchemy Room.

  It's not hard to understand, first grade corresponds to one-star alchemist, and so on.

  The lower the level, the smaller the alchemy room will be.

  Right in front of us was a grand hall. To enter the alchemy lab, we had to pay a certain number of academic credits and obtain a key before we could enter.

  The various resources of the college, except for the few spirit stones received every month, all require academic credits to exchange.

  The temple is very large, covering an area of no less than a thousand square meters. Upon entering, it's not as cold and quiet as one would imagine. Unexpectedly, the imperial college's alchemists are not in the minority.

  There were about sixty people standing in the great hall. They should all be alchemists, and judging from their auras, most of them were one-star alchemists, with fewer two-star ones.

  As for Samsung, it has already qualified as a mentor, like Ji Yang's kind of genius, which is hard to come by in a hundred years.

  Four-star alchemist, in the entire Great Yan Imperial Court, there are no more than a handful, a pitifully small number.

  Passing through the crowd, Liu Wuxie was not conspicuous. Most of the alchemists were Xuanzi students, and very few were Dizi students.

  There were five windows in total, and Liu Wuxie walked towards the nearest one.

  "I want a fourth-grade alchemy room!"

  The sound is not loud, but it can be heard by many people. Generally, the alchemy room has no use for Liu Wuxie, and each alchemy room has a very strict level.

  He entered the third-level alchemy room and couldn't even refine a fourth-grade elixir.

  The elder in charge, who was over fifty years old, suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Liu Wuxie.

  The Imperial Academy's fourth-level alchemy lab has only one building and hasn't been opened for a long time. The third-level alchemy lab can be opened once or twice a year, which is already considered good.

  "Say it again?"

  The elder wasn't quite sure and thought he had misheard, so he asked Liu Wuxie to repeat himself.

  "I want a 4th-grade alchemy lab, in two days!"

  Liu Wuxie turned up the volume, and this time everyone in the room heard it, especially the words "Fourth-level Alchemy Room", which exploded like a bomb among the crowd.

  Dozens of eyes swept over in unison, gathering on Liu Wuxie's face, filled with a strange and eerie color.

  "What's wrong with you? You think this is some kind of playground? Get out of here quickly and stop causing trouble."

  The elder shouted loudly, telling Liu Wuxie to roll away quickly, thinking he was making trouble.

  The fourth-level alchemy room, last opened when the principal came to refine the elixir, was a year ago, and has been idle until now.

  Hahaha...

  A burst of loud laughter came from around, and all sorts of jeers echoed everywhere.

  "This kid just popped out of nowhere and asked to enter the 4th level alchemy room as soon as he opened his mouth, it's hilarious."

  A man in a purple robe let out a cold laugh, his eyes gleaming with a hint of chill.

  "Looking at him, he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, can't even be considered a dan-making apprentice, really anyone can claim to be a dan-making master nowadays."

  All kinds of ridicule, overwhelming, rolling up waves, pounced on Liu Wuxie.

  The cold ridicule around him, Liu Wuxie filled his ears without hearing, just a group of ants.

  Without a key, Liu Wuxie couldn't enter the fourth-level alchemy room at all. There were many spiritual medicines on his body that were fresh and couldn't be kept for long, leaving him with little time.

  "Elder, how can I enter the fourth level of the Alchemy Chamber?"

  Liu Wu Xie suppressed the anger in his heart, outside there were assassins from the Dark Assassination Pavilion. If not, he would have gone to Dan Bao Pavilion to refine it earlier, where the refining conditions far exceeded those of the Imperial Academy.

  One day has passed again, and Liu Wuxie cannot help but feel a sense of delay.

  "There is no how, only four-star alchemists can enter, unless you can prove yourself to be a four-star alchemist. Not only will you not get any academic credits, the academy will also give you extra rewards."

  The elder finished speaking and ignored Liu Wuxie. Everyone who entered the alchemy room had to show their alchemist badge issued by the Alchemists' Guild.

  Above was the rank of alchemist, Liu Wuxie became a four-star alchemist news, has not yet spread to the Imperial Academy.

  Just as he was about to take out his alchemist badge, a commotion broke out behind him, and dozens of people suddenly gathered together.

  "It's actually Ji Yang Shixiong, he came too!"

  A burst of cheers and applause filled the entire hall, with everyone's face flushed with excitement, various flattering words and praise ringing out in succession.

  Following the crowd, Liu Wuxie saw a familiar figure, who was none other than Ji Yang, the runner-up of the Ludan Conference.

  Liu Wuxie will never forget that night when he and Shangguan Zhaorong came to threaten him, saying they would get rid of him if he didn't comply.

  Lun Dan ended, eager to send Yunlan with Nangong Qi, halfway through the ambush, almost killed by them.

  Ji Yang's mouth corners rose, with a man and a woman following behind him, who seemed like bodyguards, but more like attendants.

  With a proud smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, he stood there with his head held high and chest out, several female alchemists couldn't help but want to rush up to him, looking infatuated.

  "Congratulations to Brother Ji Yang for becoming a four-star alchemist!"

  Just a few days ago, Ji Yang successfully passed the assessment as a four-star alchemist.

  Zhen City not long ago, Ji Yang returned to the college closed, broke through the washing boundary, went to Lian Dan Shifu Association, promoted four-star Lian Dan Shifu.

  After consolidating his cultivation, he came to the alchemy room today, planning to refine a few fourth-grade medicinal pills.

  "It's no wonder that you are the youngest four-star alchemist in our Great Yan Imperial Court, it's truly a joyous occasion. In the next imperial court's alchemy competition, our Great Yan Imperial Court will surely take the top prize."

  Cultivation is inseparable from elixirs, and the great imperial dynasties' elixirs are always ranked first. Every alchemist is highly sought after.

  Ji Yangshu was not the youngest in the realm of washing his hair, but his alchemy skills were absolutely the youngest four-star alchemist in the Great Yan Dynasty.

  With this title alone, he can look down on all heroes.

  "Thank you all for your support. I have something else to attend to, but when the opportunity arises, I will host a Dan Hui (alchemical conference) and welcome fellow Taoist friends to discuss alchemy together."

  Ji Yang nodded slightly and unwillingly lingered for too long, then walked towards the window.

  "Brother Ji Yang is indeed a role model for our generation, and he's actually going to hold a Dan Conference. I'll definitely attend and participate in the discussion to promote the exchange of Dan techniques."

  Another round of flattering voices, ordinary people holding such a forum would be drowned by countless sarcastic comments.

  Ji Yang was different, he was a four-star alchemist, and had this qualification.

  This method of winning people's hearts was used to perfection, and with just one sentence, it reaped the loyalty of a group of people.

  After finishing speaking, he left the crowd and appeared at the window with a man and a woman.

  "Ji Yang Gongzi, you have arrived. The fourth-level alchemy room has been prepared for you and is ready for your entry at any time."

  The elder in charge of the alchemy room walked out from behind the counter, with a flattering expression on his face. He even used honorifics when addressing his junior, and his smile stretched all the way to the back of his head.

  "Thank you, Elder Bi!"

  Ji Yang slightly bowed and his face didn't show much gratitude, it was just a formality.

  Proud!

  Indifference!

  Old Bi took out a key from behind the counter and was about to hand it over to Ji Yang when a cold voice suddenly interrupted them: "Wait!"

  Everyone's eyes turned towards the source of the sound, followed by a burst of laughter.

  "This kid wants to stop Ji Yang Shixiong from entering the 4th level Dan Refining Room."

  This group of people fawned on Ji Yang with flattery and sycophancy, while treating Liu Wu Xie with cold ridicule and verbal attacks.

  What two extremes!

  The one who spoke was indeed Liu Wuxie. He had arrived first, and since there was only one fourth-level alchemy chamber, it was reasonable that someone would have to go first.

  Ji Yang turned his head, and his gaze suddenly froze, his eyes narrowed, flashing a hint of cold light.

  Liu Wuxie didn't dare to neglect Ji Yang, his eyes staring straight at the elderly man.

  "Kid, I told you to scram, what are you still doing here?"

  Old Bi's face showed displeasure, and he told Liu Wuxie to hurry up and leave, not to lose face here anymore, with a look of disgust.

  "Why can he go in and I cannot?"

  A fierce murderous aura shot out from Liu Wuxie's eyes, and Bi Changlao's body almost stumbled, nearly scared to death.

  "This kid must be crazy, can he compare to Master Ji Yang? He's the youngest four-star alchemist in the Great Yan Empire, when Master Ji Yang started practicing alchemy, this kid was still drinking milk."

  A man in a purple robe walked out of the crowd. Liu Wuxie was not unfamiliar with him, and on that day, he had ridiculed Liu Wuxie together with Bai Qiong.

  Ji Yang didn't say a word, smiling as he looked at Liu Wu Xie. The two weren't strangers anymore, yet they hadn't exchanged a single sentence.

  At the meeting of the Dan League, Ji Yang rarely spoke, including that night's threat, from start to finish, he remained silent.

  This matter is a humiliation for Ji Yang, as no one has ever dared to defy his will.

  Due to Liu Wuxie's appearance, he delayed his breakthrough to the Washing Marrow Realm. A month ago, he should have become a 4-star alchemist already.

  Delayed him for a month, towards Liu Wu Xie can be said to be hated to the bone.

  Liu Wuxie didn't notice the sarcasm around him and waited for Bi Changlao's response.

  "Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Only four-star alchemists can enter the fourth-level alchemy room. Are you a four-star alchemist?"

  Elder Bi's tone was one of shock. A four-star alchemist under the age of twenty had never appeared since ancient times.

  Ji Yang was over twenty years old and had already reached the level of a four-star alchemist, enough to look down on the Great Yan Imperial Court. No wonder he didn't have a cold or indifferent attitude towards Liu Wu Xie, but rather a impatient one.

  "Your meaning is that as long as I reach four-star alchemist, I can enter the fourth-level alchemy room?"

  Liu Wuxie's mouth corner floated a cold smile, he had already planned to take out the alchemy master badge earlier, but it was Ji Yang's appearance that interrupted him.

  Upon hearing this response, Ji Yang's eyes narrowed, as he had a deep understanding of Liu Wuxie's alchemy skills; this person was unfathomable.

  On that day, at the Dan Tian Conference, relying on the small innate Triple Three, three types of elixir were refined.

  More than a month has passed, and it's also possible to break through to become a four-star alchemist.

  He shook his head quickly and didn't reach the state of washing his marrow, so he couldn't refine fourth-grade elixirs at all. He ruled out this idea.

  "As long as you are a four-star alchemist, I naturally have no reason to stop you."

  Bi Changlao didn't know Liu Wuxie at all and didn't think he was a four-star alchemist, so he dared to speak sarcastically to curry favor with Ji Yang.
