The elder named Du, continued to keep his eyes closed in silence as if everything happening in the hall had nothing to do with him. Like a monk practising Ascetism, he was as unmoving as a rock.
However, if anybody thought the elder didn't pay attention to the exam, they would be gravely mistaken. After all, Elder Du here was one of the two branch elders of the association along with the patriach of his clan.
In terms of influence, he was even a bit higher than the latter, being one of the countable Tier 4 alchemists in the Yan province and even in the entire Tianyun empire.
It may look like he was keeping his eyes closed and meditating in silence, but underneath that façade, powerful soul energy ripples exuded out of his body and covered the entire hall.
