The Pill Gathering Begins

The turmoil in Central Plains did not affect the holding of the Pill Gathering.

In the past few days, due to the upcoming Pill Gathering, the flow of people in Holy Pill City has been expanding, and countless people can be seen everywhere in this vast area.

With the surge in visitors, troubles were inevitable, but fortunately, the Heavenly Court was no ordinary force.

Therefore, order was well maintained, and the worst riots did not occur. However, as the start of the Pill Gathering drew closer each day, the entire Holy Pill City was in a state of turmoil.

After all, the Pill Gathering is a major event not only in the Pill Region, but also in the entire Central Plains and even the whole continent.

The dream of countless Alchemist is to shine brightly at the Pill Gathering and become a dazzling new star admired by all on the continent.

Of course, beneath the boiling surface, there were also some undercurrents. This Pill Gathering different from previous ones; the number of participants in this Pill Gathering was likely to be the largest ever.

Because of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, many forces have sent their Alchemist, clearly determined to Three Thousand Burning Flame them!

This Pill Gathering will become Arena countless outstanding Alchemist to hone their skills throughout their lives!

All the cultivation is for this Pill Gathering!

Countless Alchemist will compete for supremacy at this Pill Gathering!

On the third day after Xiao Ming's return, as the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness that shrouded the earth, the entire Holy Pill City instantly erupted in excitement...

Today, Holy Pill City will truly be the center of attention. The eyes of the entire Central Plains are focused here, waiting for the person who can stand at the last moment to appear. And the one who can stand out from the Yao Tian from all over the Dou Qi Continent will undoubtedly be the true chosen one of heaven!

Every champion of the Pill Gathering has left a glorious mark on the history of the Dou Qi Continent, without exception. It is precisely because of this that the prestige of the Pill Gathering is magnified infinitely. Whoever becomes the final champion will surely add a splendid chapter to the future history of the Dou Qi Continent.

This honor is enough to drive anyone crazy, after all, no one wants to live a mediocre life.

"Crunch..."

In a room within the Pill Realm, the door suddenly opened slowly, and a tall figure stepped out, appearing before Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and the others who were already waiting outside.

Today, Xiao Ming was wearing a set of gold-trimmed white-gold Alchemist robes specially provided by the Pill Tower. On his chest was a rank badge issued by the Pill Tower, on which nine purple-gold stars shimmered with a dazzling light.

This outfit was one of the more formal things Xiao Ming had worn in recent years, aside from his wedding.

Looking at Xiao Ming, who appeared dashing and elegant in his Alchemist's robes, a smile flickered in the eyes of Xiao Yi Xian Medusa.

It's been a rare sight to see Xiao Ming wearing Alchemist robes these past two years. However, it must be said that Xiao Ming in Alchemist robes gives off a very different vibe, exuding an air of nobility and wisdom.

Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and gently straightened Xiao Ming's robes, smiling slightly as she said:

"Hurry up, the Pill Gathering is about to begin. If you, the Lord of Heavenly Court, are late, you'll make a fool of yourself..."

"Hehe, I'm just here to show the Heavenly Court's respect for Alchemist. Whether I'm late or not is irrelevant."

Xiao Ming smiled, but then moved and walked out of the hall. Xiao Yi Xian and the others quickly followed.

Holy Pill City has been expanded in recent years due to the establishment of the Heavenly Court, but the overall plan remains unchanged, only the various areas have been enlarged.

The venue for the Pill Gathering is located in the Northern District of the Inner Region, and that area had already been occupied by a terrifying sea of people several days ago.

At a glance, the sea of heads stretched as far as the eye could see, and the deafening clamor rose into the sky, eventually transforming into a terrifying sound wave that could be clearly heard for miles around.

"Haha, coming to this Pill Gathering was definitely the right decision; it truly is a grand event!"

"I've heard that in this Pill Gathering, besides the top ten getting a chance to try and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Pill Gathering will also receive a mentorship from the Lord of Heavenly Court."

"Wow~ Is this real?"

"Hehe, is that even a lie! It's insider information, absolutely true. I've also heard that Alliance Leader Xiao's alchemy skills have already reached the Ninth Grade, and he might even be Mysterious Pill Grandmaster! If he were to give us some pointers, the effects would be self-evident."

"He's already at the Ninth Grade? That's impossible, he's only a few years old, it's too illogical... Wait, if it's Xiao Ming, it's not impossible. So do you think he'll show up this time?"

"I wouldn't know that..."

Amidst the crowd's discussions, a clear, resonant bell suddenly rang out across the land, its sound spreading far and wide, even suppressing the deafening clamor.

As the bell tolled, the world quieted down considerably. Countless gazes instantly fixed on the towering stone platform on the east side of the plaza, the place where the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court would appear.

Shortly after the bell rang, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly arose, and then the space on the stone platform slightly distorted, revealing more than a dozen figures.

When everyone saw the young figure wearing the Nine-Star Badge and standing at the head of the group, the entire square erupted in excitement, especially the young men and women, who looked at Xiao Ming's calm face with a kind of fervor.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming is now an idol for many young people, especially among women, where he is very popular.

Almost everyone has a portrait of Xiao Ming. If it weren't for the fact that there are no copyright fees in the Dou Qi Continent, and that he doesn't care, the copyright fees for Xiao Ming's portrait could probably be a fortune.

Besides Xiao Ming and the Advanced Alchemist from the Pill Tower, several Dou Sheng from the Heavenly Court were also present this time.

This also proves the importance that the Heavenly Court attaches to this Pill Gathering and its high value.

This is one of the reasons why the crowd was somewhat agitated again.

Looking at the somewhat noisy square, Xiao Ming gave Xuan Kongzi a wink.

"Hehe, I, Xuan Kongzi, on behalf of the Heavenly Court, welcome all the Alchemist who have come here. In the days to come, this will be your stage to showcase your skills..."

Xuan Kongzi, with his white hair, slowly stepped out, his gentle voice ringing out clearly in the ears of everyone present.

The entire place was silent. No matter how unruly and fierce a person was, at this moment, they could only restrain their ferocity and dared not show the slightest disobedience. After all, the people on the stone platform were all renowned figures.

"Since you have all traveled thousands of miles for the Pill Gathering, I won't waste any more time here. Hehe, the Pill Gathering, as always, will be divided into three steps, the first..."
