The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 31

Gu Lang was aghast not believing what he heard. Being an alchemist was not an easy matter, like flipping a palm. 

And that was also the reason why alchemists were highly respected in that world, as not many people were capable of becoming great alchemists.

Alchemists usually have the innate talent of an alchemist since they were born, and to raise the level of an alchemist is also not an easy matter.

But there should be no doubt in Gu Lang for the current situation. 

Seeing Gu Lang's expression, Luo Luo explained in detail.

"Master only needs to clear his test, and the alchemist talent belonging to the old master will belong to the master. To open the alchemist room, it only takes the opening jade plaque."

Gu Lang nodded and asked Luo Luo to deliver him to the examination hall to open the alchemist room.

He will do whatever it is, and no matter how small the odds are.

"This is the room, sir."

A room with a towering, sturdy door. Luo Luo opened the door of the room, and at once Gu Lang stepped inside, then it closed itself again.

"May it work, sir." Mumbled Luo Luo.

While inside the examination room, Gu Lang was now dealing with someone he did not know.

The person stood before him and stared intently at him, as if looking at him.

"So you're the next successor?" all of a sudden, that person asked Gu Lang.

Gu Lang was confused to hear it, but he still nodded his head. He had thought, who in front of him was the old master aka the owner of this tower before.

But at the same time he was also confused, wasn't the old master already dead? Then what was before him at the moment, was it just a projection or what?

"My name is Gu Lang, senior. I want to accept the alchemist exam."

The man nodded and gestured for Gu Lang to follow him somewhere. 

Without asking anything, Gu Lang followed me in the footsteps of that person who turned out to be heading towards a stream.

Of course it made Gu Lang very surprised, how could there be a river inside the sky tower. It was really something he did not expect at all.

"You want to be strong fast, right? Take off your clothes and get into the ice river, even if you dare to take a risk. Practicing in the icy river will shorten your lifespan, but you can overcome that if you can become an alchemist."

Although Gu Lang was startled at first, why would the person before him know his purpose in accepting the test.

But finally Gu Lang nodded without hesitation, took off his clothes and stepped into the ice river.

"Reliver your spiritual aura, and I will teach you the basics of alchemy. You should be able to focus on practicing and listening to my explanations at the same time, because focus is something that is important to an alchemist."

Gu Lang nodded and started to drain his spiritual aura, but that person looked surprised at the spiritual aura Gu Lang possessed that he was very familiar with. 

Although it still stuck in his heart, how could such a thick demonic aura be in Gu Lang's body.

And that demonic aura was not just any demonic aura, that powerful and thick aura was only possessed by the direct descendants of the demon race nobles.

He began to teach Gu Lang the basics of alchemy, how to organize fire, how to order pills, as well as the most important ingredient an alchemist must possess - holy fire.

"You don't need to be confused about holy fire, because the demon flame inside your body is one of the highest sacred flames in the alchemist world."

Gu Lang was surprised to hear that. She did realize that inside her was a demonic aura, just like Luxia had said.

But he did not expect, if the demonic aura within his body was also a holy flame even a holy fire at the highest level.

"I don't know why in your body there can be such a powerful demonic aura. But you are the chosen one, the one who will save the world from destruction."

Gu Lang's body already felt almost frozen, due to the cold water of the ice river. But it was true, practicing in the ice river made his dantian very quickly filled up.

Moreover, the spiritual aura in this place was extremely condensed and pure, truly a perfect training ground.

Gu Lang was sure, if this place was not in the sky tower. Surely this place will be a struggle and could even cause wars, between individuals or even between sects and groups.

And sure enough, it had only been half a day for Gu Lang to soak in there an explosion of spiritual aura was emanating out from Gu Lang's body.

Now he had reached the level of two general level. However it was still not enough, he should be able to break through a new level if he wanted to avenge his family.

"It's only been half a day, but I've leveled up. If it continues like this for a few days, I can definitely break through the King level."

"Yes you can indeed break through the King level in the next few days, but you must also strengthen your cultivation base. Because if it's out of balance, you'll just be a fake King level, and it could put your life at risk."

Gu Lang nodded and resumed his training, while continuing to listen and understand the explanation of the alchemist training taught by the person who might just be the old master.

But after the second level increase, the senior told him to get out of the ice river.

"Come out, and we'll start practicing alchemists. Practicing alchemists can make your training powerful, and you should also practice controlling your demonic aura because if you can't control it it will be disastrous."

Although he did not understand what the senior meant, Gu Lang simply nodded and obeyed what the senior was saying.

The senior flicked his hand and a dragon-headed vessel appeared before him, a vessel with such a powerful aura.

"This vessel is called a divine vessel, if you succeed in practicing alchemists then this vessel will be yours. But before you're strong enough, don't take this vessel out of the sky tower, or show anyone this vessel."

Gu Lang nodded in agreement, as he also did not understand too much about the alchemist world. All he knew, the vessels of the alchemists had levels.

The first level is the bronze, silver, gold, and god level vessels. But he did not know what level this divine vessel before him was.

"You want to know what level this divine vessel is at?" asked the senior, as if he could read Gu Lang's mind. "This vessel is at the level of the Universe, far above the level of a god."
