Holy Pill City.
On top of the magnificent high-rise building, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi stood side by side, looking at the bustling streets below, frowning slightly.
Familiar streets, familiar prosperity, to ordinary people, today seems to be no different from usual.
However, as the apparent leaders of Pill Tower, the two of them were keenly aware that this was already the prelude to an undercurrent.
"This is the third Dou Venerate Expert who entered Holy Pill City today. These old guys usually want to take root under their feet and grow in the soil. They have rarely seen each other for decades. Why did they all suddenly come out?"
Xuan Kongzi is puzzled.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Holy Pill City, Feng Yun all of a sudden gathered together. It was still at this critical period, and he couldn't allow him to think too much.
However, Xuan Yi guessed some reasons, shook his head and said with a smile, "These old guys are probably not here for us. They all have one thing in common. They have a grudge against Old Monster You Du. I think they are probably here because of him."
"Old Monster You Du? Isn't this guy being chased by the Soul Hall? When did he enter the city?"
"I don't know, but Soul Hall has been making quite a fuss around Pill Region in the past few days. Five Heavenly Lords have been dispatched. With Old Monster You Du's strength, it should be impossible to escape. Returning to Holy Pill City to take advantage of the situation is undoubtedly a better choice. This old guy is very good at disguise. If he doesn't show up, we won't be able to find him, but there is someone who can accurately grasp his position."
"That boy named Chen Guan?"
"Yes, Ancient Dragon Tribe left him Dragon Seal before he left. No matter how Old Monster You Du disguises himself, he can't escape the induction. Look at that tall black robe Man, if I'm not mistaken, he must be Chen Guan's puppet. According to his report, Old Monster You Du's plan to hide it in Holy Pill City was wrong."
Following the direction pointed by Xuan Yi, Xuan Kongzi also discovered the puppet wrapped in a black robe.
His eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light flashed.
"So, he passed on the location of Old Monster You Du to the Soul Hall a few days ago. In other words, this kid has contact with the Soul Hall?!"
"I know what you are worried about, but it is unlikely that he and Soul Hall collude. At most, they are just using each other. Otherwise, Yao Chen might have fallen into the hands of the Soul Hall."
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi also suddenly came to his senses.
"I'm thinking differently. This kid is quite interesting. Old Monster You Du provoked him. I probably never thought it would happen today, and I don't know when I will react. Although Pill Tower doesn't care about these trivial matters, he still has to ensure the security of the city. All, and that guy Yao Chen is coming back soon, and Tian Leizi just happens to be away. At this time, it's better to be quiet in the city, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Soul Hall. After he is exposed, please ask him out."
Xuan Yi nodded, "I think so too."
Poor Old Monster You Du is worthless compared to Yao Chen...
Half a day later, several terrifying auras spread out simultaneously in the city, causing countless people to tremble and pray not to die in the aftermath.
I thought that an unprecedented war was about to break out, but unfortunately, Xuan Yi appeared in time and suppressed the newly rising signs. Then, he showed his weapons and politely asked the few old guys who were preparing for the battle to come out Holy Pill City.
"I don't want to keep you here, I have my own place to stay. If you have the courage, just come after me, and I will take care of you all!"
"Youdu, don't run!"
"Cunning villain, please don't leave!"
I can't see him, I can only hear his voice, but I can still imagine the scene.
Living in Puppet Ring, Venerable Skyfire couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he no longer cared about Old Monster You Du and went straight to the trading location of Holy Pill City's alchemist.
The reason why I came to Holy Pill City this time was not specifically to report some points to Old Monster You Du's enemies, but because Chen Guan wanted to let them collect Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill's medicinal materials first during my Cultivate in Seclusion period.
Chen Guan remembers that in this Holy Pill City alchemist meeting, the main ingredient of Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill will appear.
Blood Essence Demonic Fruit! Although it is a little ahead of time according to the time point, it is expected that Yao Chen and Xiao Yan will most likely be taken to Central Plains by Venerable Feng, and Chen Guan can only let Venerable Skyfire come and stay earlier.
After all, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan are also needed for these things. Once they arrive, this is almost a must-visit trade fair for alchemists. You will never miss it. If you arrive late, you may not be able to miss it.
Regarding the resurrection plan, Venerable Skyfire had no choice but to take it seriously, so he simply followed this puppet who was spiritual but not very spiritual and came to comply with it himself.
Holy Pill City's Alchemist Trading Fair has a very good reputation in this area. This trade fair is not as mixed as other trade fairs. If the trade fairs are divided into three, six or nine grades, then this Holy Pill City trade fair should be considered to be of the highest quality, far from comparable to those small trade fairs in other places.
The location of this trade fair is in the Holy Pill City Outland, but the location is not bad. It is located at the junction of the Outland and Inner Region. It is said that this trade fair also has the support of Pill Tower. Just now It will develop so powerfully, and because of this, when items are exchanged in this trade fair, things like killing people and stealing goods will rarely happen. After all, in this Pill Region, no one can escape the pursuit of Pill Tower.
"It should be right here, Alchemist Trading Fair, the name is quite straightforward."
Standing in front of a rather vast building, Venerable Skyfire looked at the fonts of dragons and phoenixes on the light blue wooden plaque and felt a little speechless.
Before the trade fair at this moment, there was a lot of traffic and people coming and going like a tide. Countless people wearing alchemist robes, with envious eyes around them, successfully passed through the heavy guards at the door of the trade fair and entered it.
After making a small comment, Venerable Skyfire no longer delayed and let the puppet lead him inside.
The tall body and the deep black robe made a squeaking sound as they walked on the steps. At the gate of the trade fair, the two guards with cold faces felt a strong sense of oppression.
I feel slightly guilty, but my duty is to check my credentials.
Because according to the rules, there are only two ways to enter it.
First, he is an alchemist himself.
Second, it is led by a seventh-grade alchemist!
However, just when one of them was about to step forward for inspection, a majestic Spiritual Power burst out, causing the expressions of many alchemists who came in and out to change slightly.
"Spirit Realm soul?!"
"I don't know, it feels a bit strange."
"What is this person's identity? Soul Strength, his level of medicine refining must be at least level six."
Whispers rang out, everyone was shocked by Venerable Skyfire, the taste was so strong! "Do you still need to check?"
"That's not necessary, sir!"
Venerable Skyfire's attitude was average, but the guards only took it for granted.
Isn't it already known to everyone that alchemists are arrogant? He stopped and bowed to see him off.
Although something felt wrong, I still wisely chose to turn a blind eye.
After all, the rules are Pill Tower's rules. I only have so many pennies a month, why should I fight for my life? This person did not produce any credentials, but the tyrannical Soul Power is obvious to all. Even if he is not an alchemist, he is definitely a strong man who cannot be offended! Venerable Skyfire smiled with satisfaction, and the puppet strode in.
After the door, there is a spacious and cool passage. Walk along the passage, and then the boiling sound suddenly comes to you, and then gets into your ears.
Standing at the door of the passage, Venerable Skyfire Spiritual Power glanced at the appropriate angle and saw an extremely vast hall.
In the hall, there are many neatly arranged stone platforms. Behind the stone platforms, some figures who look like stall owners sit cross-legged, like vendors, with a lazy look, not like businessmen at all.
Of course, they are not.
Most of them are dressed in alchemist robes, and their identities are self-evident.
There are also many alchemists wandering in this vast hall. Occasionally they will stop in front of some stone platforms and carefully look at the items placed on the stone platforms. If there is anything they like, they will stop and start negotiating with the stall owner.
With Venerable Skyfire's eyesight, it can be seen that the alchemists active on this floor, as well as the items traded, are not of high grade.
Without hesitation, he immediately let the puppet go to the second floor.
To enter the second floor, you need to reach the Sixth Grade Alchemist level, and the inspection is relatively strict.
Helplessly, Venerable Skyfire could only take out the Alchemist Badge given by Chen Guan and get through.
Compared with the first floor, the space on the second floor is much smaller, but the items traded are more precious. Some medicinal materials can even be used to refine seventh-grade elixirs.
Unfortunately, Venerable Skyfire did not find Blood Essence Demonic Fruit.
Some regrets, but also expected.
It would be outrageous if we really encountered it all at once.
The prerequisite for entering the third floor is to be a seventh-grade alchemist, or Dou Venerate Expert.
Venerable Skyfire couldn't reach any of them at present, so he could only suppress his curiosity, follow Chen Guan's instructions, find an empty stone platform, randomly take out a few medicinal plants, mark them with sky-high prices, and wait for the target to appear.
Inside the not-so-wide Cultivation Chamber, there was silence, as if everything outside was cut off from it.
Chen Guan sat cross-legged on top of Lotus Seat, with his eyes closed tightly and his hands in seals placed on his knees, motionless like an old monk in meditation.
In front of him, a fist-sized, golden and blazing Fire Bead was suspended in the air, with rich energy constantly emanating from it.
However, before the energy could dissipate between heaven and earth, it was pulled into Chen Guan's body by a mysterious suction force.
Continuously absorbing the majestic energy in Earth Core Fire Pearl, day after day, the meridians, bones, muscles, and even cells of the whole body are invisibly tempered and strengthened.
So, looking from the outside at this moment, Chen Guan seems to be covered by a fine and large net, which is extremely mysterious.
Over and over again, running the technique tirelessly, Chen Guan entered a strange state, which did not require any special control. The powerful Dou Qi in the body was like a river, constantly flowing through the meridians, rushing towards the so-called Dou Zong Barrier.
Being immersed in the wonderful feeling of slow rebirth in the body, Chen Guan has a peaceful mind, and it is difficult for boring time to affect his mood.
As this peaceful cultivation lasted for who knows how long, Chen Guan's aura gradually increased to a terrifying level. Although it still had not broken through Dou Zong, it was at least several times more powerful than before.
The transformation of breath did not immediately lead Chen Guan to break through Dou Zong. This shows how difficult it is to reach this Dou Zong level. Now, it is more like he has just stepped into one foot. He can only be considered successful if he works hard and steps in with the other foot.
Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain! The most critical moment has been reached. Chen Guan is even more focused. His body is like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing World Energy. Earth Core Fire Pearl is also gradually shrinking in this process.
Cultivation has no years, and time flies here very quickly. Chen Guan, who has completely entered the state of cultivation, has completely forgotten the passage of time. He seems to have entered a state of forgetfulness, and the only way to get out of this state is to wait until the day of breakthrough! In this state, time passed quietly like sand between fingers, without causing any ripples.
One day, two days...
Ten days, half a month, one month...
It was not until the forty-fifth day that the sitting body finally made some movement! ...
Outside Ancient Altar Plaza, the wind blowing here seemed to be carrying a heat wave, and at this moment, two figures were silhouetted at the edge.
The person standing with his hands behind his back was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He was the type who would not make any splash if thrown into the crowd, and would be forgotten in a blink of an eye.
When I visited Ye Clan a few days ago, it was only after he proved it several times that Ye Chong was able to believe that this guy was actually the little old man who had no sense of existence following the Lord Hei Qing.
His identity is self-evident.
The ambition of that day turned out to be unattainable. Not even Pill Region could get out, let alone the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Old Monster You Du was really helpless. He escaped for more than a month and was chased by his enemies and Soul Hall in turns. He was beaten lightly every day and severely every three days. Even though Dou Venerate Expert Life Force was amazing, he couldn't withstand this kind of torture.
In desperation, he could only go back to the starting point and prepare to apply for a fixed-term prison sentence to be executed immediately! There are some things that he sees through now but doesn't say anything about.
Admit it!
Not far away, leaning on a mahogany pillar with a lazy posture, was a beautiful girl with a slim figure.
Clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin with a hint of red, thin lips as delicate as rose petals, warm and magnanimous without being kitsch.
Ye Clan was really surprised by the arrival of Cao Family's Demonic Maiden that day. After asking, he learned that he was here to see Chen Guan again.
Okay, that's okay, just treat me well.
Cao Ying doesn't care what Ye Clan thinks. She came here just to run errands.
When a few old guys were busy reminiscing about old times and were too lazy to move, she was the only one suitable for this job.
After all, there's so much at stake this time, the fewer people know about it, the better.
"It's been more than a month, it should be almost done."
"Hmph, little girl, Dou Zong Barrier is so easy to overcome. Even with my talent as a genius and taking Breakthrough Pill, it took me half a year to break through. According to me, you can report back to Pill Tower and come back half a year later. If this brat can break through within two months, I will eat it on the spot."
"Boom!"
Just when Old Monster You Du was getting excited, the world around Ancient Altar Plaza suddenly erupted with a roar of energy out of thin air.
Immediately, the energy between the heaven and the earth began to ripple violently.
It was as if the energy in the surrounding heaven and earth was being pulled by something, and it began to condense crazily towards the center of the altar, causing many Ye Clan disciples who were practicing around to show expressions of surprise and nervousness.
Good news, pie in the sky!
Bad news, this pie is a bit big and you might kill yourself! At the edge, Cao Ying also stood up straight and showed a teasing smile.
"Senior, what were you planning to say just now?"
