Chapter 480: Chapter 11 Prominent Family! Connections are Very Important_1

…

At the same time.

In the VIP room of Tian Yuan’s Danfang, all the heads of the prominent families had already learned about the scoring results of the test papers and knew everyone’s ranking order.

Meanwhile, the thirteen young alchemists who made the cut were also called into the VIP room. They waited beside their respective family heads for the results to be announced.

Only Si Xinghai – who had no family – found a spot in the corner to stand. He didn’t engage in conversations with the people from the prominent families around him, as if he existed in a separate time and space from them.

On the corner desk, a red copper incense burner was emitting wisps of smoke that spiraled upwards. Above their heads from the crossbeam hung a beautifully carved Fluorescent Stone Spirit Lamp, spreading bright and warm light.

The decoration of this VIP room was luxurious but not overly fancy, carrying an elegant atmosphere.

However, even so, it could not hide the undercurrent that was surging in the room.

“Hahaha~ Congratulations, brother Yuwen,” Qian Jingde, the elder of the Qian family, raised his tea cup, and laughed as he glanced at the elder of the Yuwen Clan beside him. “Your family’s Nianjing is ranked third, this spot is most likely secured.”

This elder was the grandfather of Qian Xuefu and one of the Celestial Realm elders of the large Qian family.

Unlike the Celestial families, only cultivators in the Purple Abode Realm were considered real ancestors in the prominent Purple Abode families.

But even as an elder in the Celestial Realm, Qian Jingde carried significant grandeur when he ventured outside. His status was a step above an ordinary old ancestor of a 7th-rank aristocratic family.

“Nianjing’s participation this time is just to refine her skills,” Yuwen Jinghong laughed heartily, without taking his lead, “The position of third place is not stable. It depends on Master Danding’s opinion. It is rather the Dongfang clan, which has produced an amazing Kylin child, who managed to take first place among many young and outstanding alchemists, demonstrating their deep foundation.”

Yuwen Jinghong, naturally, was also an elder of the Celestial Realm from the Yuwen Clan.

As soon as this remark was made, everyone’s attention was instantly focused on Dongfang Bohua, the old Celestial ancestor of the Dongfang Clan.

This elder of the Dongfang Clan, Dongfang Bohua, was over three hundred years old. His beard was completely white, and his lifespan wasn’t much left. He looked like a withered old man.

However, his eyes were extremely bright at this moment, exuding a color of excitement.

Finally, the Dongfang Clan’s hard days have come to an end~

Earlier, the Celestial-type seed of their family had failed twice in impacting the realm of heaven and mankind, which had already emptied the Dongfang clan’s family resources. If it weren’t for Dongfang Yuxi, an exceptional child, the Dongfang clan might have fallen into decline and been reduced to a Grade Eight Prominent Family.

Now, Dongfang Yuxi has scored first place and is bound to be taken as a disciple by Master Danding. With this, even if Dongfang Bohua runs out of life in the future, the Dongfang family will rise again and may even climb higher.

However, even with such excitement in his heart, elder Bohua, who had lived for hundreds of years, didn’t show it much on his face. He maintained a modest and kind demeanor, stroking his beard and laughing, “Hahaha~ You’re too kind~ Yuxi is just a bit more diligent in her studies, she is not as impressive as brother Yuwen described!”

Behind elder Bohua, Dongfang Yuxi maintained an unaffected and calm demeanor as if getting the first place was not something worth boasting about.

Everyone couldn’t help but nod their heads silently.

At such a young age, she was already indifferent to honor and disgrace. This youngling, her future potential must be very high.

During the back and forth chat, none of the big shots revealed too much, yet they all had their own judgments in their hearts. Naturally, they conveyed some sense of wanting to win over the elder and the young master of the Dongfang Clan in the words they exchanged.

Which one of the people who can act as the clan leader or elder in a prominent family isn’t a sharp individual?

They naturally understood that if Dongfang Yuxi truly becomes the disciple of Master Danding today, the Dongfang clan will inevitably rise in the future, and might even become a Rank Six Prominent Family.

It would be beneficial without any harm to establish connections with them at this time.

It’s just a pity for the others…

The elders of the Qian family, Yuwen family, and other large families glanced at Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouye casually, feeling a sense of regret in their hearts.

That Wang Shouye was not too old and his basic skills were also very solid, obviously, a good seedling. Unfortunately, he only got second place. Master Danding only took three disciples, and the chance of him being selected was very slim.

Who asked the Wang family to be just a small seventh-rank family from a remote area?

If Wang Shouye cannot become a disciple of Master Danding this time, his future growth will undoubtedly be inferior to Dongfang Yuxi, and the gap between them will only get larger as time goes by.

What a pity, truly a pity.

Under the casual glances of everyone present, Wang Shouye felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, so nervous he didn’t know where to put his hands.

On the other hand, Wang Shouzhe was not much affected. He still had that demeanor of calm and composed self-discipline, even having the leisure to appropriately savor his tea and indulge in some refreshments.

Just then.

The door of the room suddenly “squeaked” open, and a figure in light blue appeared at the doorway.

Under the lamp light, her skirt swaying, her temperament pure and clear as if she was a fresh lotus emerged from the water, she was the “Pill Doctor Par Excellence” – Gu Hanyu.

The room suddenly grew silent.

Gu Hanyu is Master Danding’s disciple and also in charge of this selection event. Her appearance at this time naturally signifies she is here to announce the results.

Everyone stopped their discussions, rose to welcome her, and anticipation unconsciously surfaced on their faces.
