Xuankong's Invitation
This is a vast plaza entirely constructed of reddish-brown rock. The plaza stretches as far as the eye can see, the only visible feature being a single, continuous red line that extends to the horizon.
At this moment, the crimson square was almost packed with people, and an overwhelming cacophony of noise emanated from it, eventually converging and soaring into the sky. Even the clouds on the horizon seemed to soften in this area.
The vast, seemingly endless plaza was constantly distorting and fluctuating violently. Spatial Ship were continuously emerging from it, only to shrink rapidly. Meanwhile, figures were falling from the sky like beans.
As Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes, this was the scene that came into view.
Seeing this scene again, Xiao Ming smiled and asked, "Have we arrived at Holy Pill City?"
Three months had passed since I left the Myriad Snake Mountain Range and returned to Holy Pill City.
During these three months, Xiao Ming and his companions did not simply travel; they also explored Central Plains, which broadened their horizons.
During these three months, after taking the pills refined by Xiao Ming, Qing Lin's strength had reached the Dou Emperor Nine Stars. Because Xiao Ming gave her a trace of the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame, there was no phenomenon of her Dou Qi being weak.
As for Xiao Ming, he also refined some poisons for Xiao Yi Xian, and combined with some stockpiles from the Myriad Snake Mountain Range, her strength rose from the Eight Star Dou Zong to the Peak Nine-star Dou Zong.
The journey from the Nine-star Dou Zong to Dou Zun is a significant hurdle.
Without external help, they can only rely on time to grind it down. Xiao Ming has already planned that once he officially becomes Pill Tower Elder, he will go to the Ye Family and use their Fire-Nurturing Ancient Altar to help Xiao Yi Xian break through to the Dou Zong in one fell swoop.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python had not awakened in the past three months, and Medusa had not appeared either. However, when Xiao Ming scanned the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's body with his Soul Power, he discovered that it contained enormous energy. Clearly, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python had gained considerable benefits from the Blood Pool.
Venerable Tian Huo's cultivation level didn't improve much; after all, three months was too short a time.
However, Xiao Ming remembered that without the Heavenly Flames, the power of the Five Rounds of Fire Departure Method would be greatly reduced for Venerable Tian Huo, so Xiao Ming lent him the True Flame Manipulation Technique to examine.
The Flame Manipulation Technique can cultivate a fake Heavenly Flames, but this kind of flame is not as good as a real Heavenly Flames. Xiao Ming doesn't care about it, but Venerable Tian Huo is very interested in it.
For the past three months, he has been buying beast fire from all over the place, hoping to refine five fake exotic fires to generate fire for his own use.
Beast Flame isn't cheap. Condensing a sufficiently powerful Creation Fire requires a considerable amount of Beast Flame. Furthermore, since Venerable Tian Huo had just been resurrected, although he had some money, it wasn't much. Later, he even borrowed over a hundred million gold coins from Xiao Ming, for which Venerable Tian Huo had to use his Dou Skill to settle the debt. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼
Xiao Ming waved his hand, telling him to repay it later when he had the money. Actually, it didn't have to be repaid; it was just some gold coins. The wealthy and powerful Xiao Ming didn't care at all. With the strength of Five-star Dou Zun, Venerable Tian Huo wouldn't be short of gold coins in any power.
To be honest, if Venerable Tian Huo were a little less shameless, he could have amassed this much wealth quickly by robbing some of the smaller forces in Central Plains, and no one would have dared to interfere.
In the past three months, Xiao Ming's strength has broken through to the Nine-star Dou Zong.
Just like the Xiao Yi Xian before her, the leap from Dou Zong to Dou Zun is also a hurdle.
Xiao Ming had already figured out how to help Xiao Yi Xian break through, but he himself had no clue.
Speaking of pills, Xiao Ming knew of some auxiliary pills, but those pills couldn't guarantee a breakthrough; they only increased the success rate.
During this year, Xiao Ming's strength improved very quickly. Even with the Fallen Heart Flame tempering Dou Qi, his chances of breaking through to Dou Zun in a short time, even with the help of pills, were slim.
Therefore, Xiao Ming still prefers to search for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object. However, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object are not as common as cabbages, and even with Simulator, not many can be found.
"Ah, if only I could absorb these Three Thousand Burning Flame, then I would surely be able to break through the barrier in one fell swoop by relying on their powerful energy."
Xiao Ming muttered to himself, "The Three Thousand Starry Sky Blazing Flame requires three Pill Tower Giants to seal. It is incredibly powerful. If I could devour it, I could definitely break through to the Dou Zun Xiao Ming, and maybe even break through several stars in a row. No wonder Xiao Ming is so envious."
However, that thing didn't have the Dragon Seal of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. With Xiao Ming's current strength, trying to devour it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
"It seems that the focus should now be on improving alchemy skills and Soul Power."
Xiao Ming's Soul Power is gradually approaching the Spirit Realm Mid-stage, and he will be able to break through in a few days. He was lucky this time and found four sets of all the medicinal materials for Spirit Nurturing Dust. He plans to refine Spirit Nurturing Dust, use some for his own people, and exchange the rest for other medicinal materials for Spirit Nurturing Dust.
It shouldn't be long before he reaches the peak of the Spirit Realm Completion. With his Soul Power increased, his Pill Refining Technique will be easier to improve.
Xiao Ming was thinking about something, but his feet didn't stop moving. He and Xiao Yi Xian and the others followed the flow of people out of the square.
"Young Master, where are we going next?" Qing Lin asked, looking up at the thinning crowd around her.
"Let's find an Inn to stay in first. After I take office as Eight Great Elders, the Pill Tower and the others will arrange accommodations. We'll move there together then," Xiao Ming.
Almost forgot to mention, during these three months, Xiao Ming simulated and obtained a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill Recipe and a Two-Star Dou Zun Heaven Demon Puppet.
The next day, Xiao Ming got up amidst the gentle fragrance of Xiao Yi Xian's body. Just as he was about to go to the Pill Tower, the Pill Tower came looking for him.
"Elder Xiao Ming, President Xuankong requests your presence," the visitor said.
"Oh? I also want to go to the Pill Tower. Lead the way," Xiao Ming said calmly.
Soon, the two arrived at the center of Holy Pill City, inside the colossal tower that pierced the clouds.
Xiao Ming's return attracted the attention of many people.
"Huh? Who's that young man? He's so handsome, and he looks kind of familiar."
"I feel like I've seen him before. Hmm! Isn't that Master Xiao Ming? I heard he was gone for more than half a year, and he actually came back today."
"He's back this time, probably to take over the positions of the Eight Great Elders, right? Xiao Ming isn't hard to get close to, hehe, perhaps I could send my granddaughter to give it a try. My granddaughter is stunningly beautiful; maybe she could become his concubine. Then our family would rise to prominence!"
"I feel like I can't quite see through Xiao Ming's strength! Could it be that he's surpassed us? You must know I'm Eight Star Dou Zong!"
"You feel that way too? I thought I was just imagining things!"
Upon hearing this, the people who had been whispering nearby stopped, exchanged glances, and their eyes revealed shock.
