Alt Account, Xuan Bing

Whoosh! Watching the figures swarming into the Illusion Barrier like locusts, Xuan Kongzi on the high platform nodded slightly, put his hands in his sleeves, and said indifferently, "This year's Pill Gathering is really interesting. I didn't expect even some famous old guys to come."

"The Three Thousand Burning Flame are far superior to ordinary Heavenly Flames, and they are quite attractive to these old guys, so naturally they want to join in the fun."

Beside Xuan Kongzi, Heavenly Lightning raised his eyes, his sharp, lightning-like gaze sweeping over the figures who had entered the Illusion Barrier, and said.

"The younger generation is no weaker than them. Even if they make a move, they will probably only end up looking foolish."

Beside him, the Xuan Yi in black, dressed in a cheongsam, smiled slightly.

She knew Xiao Yan's current strength; the champion of this Pill Gathering was probably his for the taking.

Xuan Kongzi smiled and nodded, stroking his beard as he said, "The younger generation has indeed produced some remarkable figures, but I'm more curious about how far Xiao Yan will ultimately go."

"Hmm, I wonder how much of Yao Chen's true skill in alchemy he has mastered?"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Lightning nodded, but then his gaze turned to Xuan Yi beside him.

"The student surpasses the teacher."

Xuan Yi smiled and said with considerable pride.

In fact, she has been in seclusion for the past few years. Unless it is something important like sealing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, she usually doesn't show her face easily. It can be said that she is the most low-key person among the Pill Tower Three Giants.

Even some people who have only recently entered the Danta are unaware of her existence. Many even believe that there have never been any female leaders in the history of the Danta. However, those with sufficient experience know that the first female leader of the Danta actually appeared long before Cao Ying, only she was much older than Cao Ying.

Therefore, it was not impossible for her to have an outstanding disciple unknown to ordinary people. In the eyes of the elders of the Danta and some veteran powerhouses from other forces, this was not an impossible thing.

"Aunt Xuan, seniors, I am also quite curious about the Pill World and would like to go in and take a look."

Xiao Yuan appeared in front of the three, bowed slightly, and then transmitted his voice.

"Of course, in everyone's eyes, I am still on this platform and will not affect the progress of the conference."

Fearing the three might disagree, Xiao Yuan quickly added.

"Oh? You have such methods?"

Xuan Kongzi raised an eyebrow, looking at Xiao Yuan with some curiosity.

"Just a little trick."

Xiao Yuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Just be careful not to overstep your bounds. If you want to go in, then go in."

Xuan Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm, I'd also like to see your skills."

Curiosity also appeared in Heavenly Lightning's eyes.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself!"

Xiao Yuan smiled, and the soul power of the Spirit Realm spread out, distorting the surrounding space for a moment.

"It's all better now."

A glint of intelligence flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes as he addressed the three giants before him.

Huh? The three giants were taken aback. It's already done?

Xiao Yuan moved too quickly. They only sensed some fluctuations in Xiao Yuan's soul power, but did not notice anything else happening. In addition, they were unprepared. Therefore, in the instant that space distorted, they did not see what happened. They only felt that Xiao Yuan's figure seemed to be blurred for a moment, and the space behind him was torn apart for a moment.

"This is not the outfit Xiao Yuan wore."

After a moment, Xuan Yi spoke with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi and Heavenly Lightning looked at Xiao Yuan's white robe and suddenly realized what was happening.

The standard robes of the Danta are no ordinary clothes. Like the robes of alchemists, these white robes are made of special materials, are comfortable to wear, and have a series of auxiliary effects on alchemy.

However, the clothes Xiao Yuan was wearing were not the same ones he had worn before. Instead, they were white robes made of Dou Qi that looked the same but were made of completely different materials.

"Aunt Xuan is indeed meticulous; you noticed this." Xiao Yuan smiled and continued, "However, it's also because time was too tight and there wasn't enough time to change clothes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left this flaw."

"Well, under these circumstances, it's already quite good that you've managed to do this much. With such methods, it's enough for you to save your life. Unless you encounter a stronger expert than the three of us, or someone is secretly watching your actions, they won't be able to detect anything amiss."

Xuan Yi smiled with satisfaction, and grew increasingly fond of his disciple, Xiao Yuan.

If Yao Chen hadn't gotten there first, she would have wanted to be Xiao Yuan's master. However, being a master's wife seems pretty good too.

"You are truly a genius! To have cultivated both alchemy and Dou Qi to such a level simultaneously is something even your teacher back then couldn't match!"

Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm, indeed quite good. I think your technique is related to the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body. However, I have seen the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body before. With the eyesight of the three of us, it is not difficult to see through that illusion. It seems that you have cultivated this Dou Technique to a level that even the Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion cannot reach!"

Heavenly Lightning looked at Xiao Yuan with a strange gaze. Even he couldn't figure out how Xiao Yuan had cultivated the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body to such a level that it could be mistaken for the real thing even by experts of their caliber.

"Hehe, Senior Heavenly Lightning, you've hit the nail on the head. However, I can't reveal the details, as it's a life-saving measure. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Yuan smiled admiringly, thinking to himself that such an old monster-level expert was indeed not to be underestimated, having guessed some of the truth so quickly, but he apologized aloud.

"It's alright! With such a means, we can rest assured when you travel outside in the future. After all, you are one of the next generation of three giants. It is naturally excellent to have such a life-saving means."

Heavenly Lightning became unusually talkative, seemingly harboring some of the same thoughts that Xuan Yi had previously had about taking Xiao Yuan as his disciple, though that was just wishful thinking.

While Xiao Yuan was chatting animatedly with the three giants using a deceptively realistic clone, on the other side, in a corner of the square where no one paid attention, a woman in a white dress and wearing Veiled Hat emerged from the torn void, blending into the crowd of figures and rushing into the dark gray space.

As the figure in the white dress rushed into the dark gray, distorted space, a Seventh Rank High Level Alchemist badge on her full chest emitted a strange fluctuation. Xiao Yuan had directly asked Xuan Yi for this badge, and it was under the spread of this fluctuation that when his body touched the distorted space, a suction force burst out from it, pulling him in.

The sudden suction caused Xiao Yuan's vision to blur, and when he reappeared, he found himself in a strange, dark gray space.

This space was filled with a thick, dark gray gas, and the field of vision was less than half a meter. Moreover, some spaces within sight even showed a slight sense of distortion. Clearly, this place should be the so-called Illusion Barrier.

Stepping on the dark gray gas, Xiao Yuan did not rush around recklessly, but stood quietly in place with his eyes slightly closed. His powerful soul force spread out in all directions like a tide.

The dark gray gas clearly had a suppressive effect on the soul. Xiao Yuan had heard Xuan Yi mention this before, so he wasn't too surprised when he felt it. The suppression had its limits. With the strength of his soul now, even with the gas's obstruction, he could easily perceive the surrounding situation, only the distance was much shorter.

As his soul power spread, Xiao Yuan could also sense some fluctuations in the surrounding dark gray gas, indicating that new contestants were constantly entering.

This space was formed by the Pill Tower Three Giants working together to distort space. There are countless distorted spaces within it. If you wander into it randomly, you will inevitably lose your way or even get trapped inside.

Of course, it would be impossible to trap Xiao Yuan, who possessed the Space Power of Dou Zun.

Once you figure out the spatial distortions within, you can then follow the winding passages formed by these distorted spaces to successfully escape this illusion.

Of course, while this sounds simple, it is quite difficult for most of the contestants. Under this strange atmosphere, both their vision and soul perception are firmly suppressed. Trying to figure out those complex spatial traces in this almost blind state is a very difficult task for ordinary alchemists.

However, Xiao Yuan was not one of the ordinary ones. With the strength of his soul, even without mastering the Space Power, he could easily perceive a vast area, so dealing with this kind of test was a piece of cake.

Swish!

Hearing the whistling sounds of wind breaking in the distance, Xiao Yuan smiled faintly. Relying on his powerful soul force, he saw that many alchemists who rushed into this place had been trapped in distorted spaces due to their reckless wandering and were unable to escape.

However, these alchemists were of very low skill, some even worse than Gu He, and were simply unbearable to look at. Shaking his head, Xiao Yuan stepped into the distorted space, and his figure quickly became blurred.

He chose to take the shortcut!

The next moment, a figure in a white dress emerged from a distorted space a kilometer away.

"Despair!"

Xiao Yuan stepped lightly onto a patch of dark gray mist. Suddenly, his heart stirred. He looked up at the mist not far in front of him and saw that it was suddenly rippling. Then, an old figure slowly approached. When Xiao Yuan saw the old figure's face, his heart trembled.

"Teacher?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the smiling old man in front of him with a complicated expression. That familiar face was none other than the Yao Lao who was hiding in the ring that Aunt Xuan was wearing.

The Yao Lao stood not far from Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan, smiled slightly at him, and then waved to him.

"How dare you! You're impersonating my teacher?"

Xiao Yuan coldly shouted and slapped out, the force surging out and the old figure vanished into thin air, revealing the spatial folds hidden behind it. Within these spatial folds, a somewhat eerie black aura was faintly permeating.

"You're testing me with this?"

With his gaze fixed on the eerie black mist, Xiao Yuan understood that the sudden appearance of the illusion must be related to this thing.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but purse his lips before stepping into another distorted space beside him.

However, as if they had heard what Xiao Yuan said, the fantasies that Xiao Yuan saw on the journey became too complicated to describe.

Ya Fei, in a cheongsam with a high slit and a hollowed-out design at the chest; Xiao Yu, in a miniskirt and black stockings; Yun Yun, dressed in gorgeous Cai Lin and exuding the aura of a sect leader; Cai Lin, with a human body and snake tail and exotic charm; Xiao Yi Xian, wearing a crop top that reveals her slender waist Tang Huo'er, in a fiery red outfit; Han Yue, a senior student in the Jia Nan Academy uniform; Han Xue, with her twin ponytails swinging back and forth in a Lolita dress. Unfortunately, standing in front of them was Xiao Yuan, also known as Xuan Bing, dressed in women's clothing.

So, the ruthless Xuan Bing didn't hold back in appreciating these fantasies before smashing them away.

All I can say is that it was truly a feast for the eyes.

However, this did slow down his progress considerably.

Nearly half an hour later, the thick gray fog that had been swirling in front of him suddenly began to dissipate, and then a huge, distorted black hole appeared not far in front of him.

This is the Space Channel leading to the Pill World!

Before the Space Channel was a rather spacious open space. The space around the open space was distorted and twisted, obviously a spatial resting point forcibly constructed by the Danta experts. Such methods and efforts were truly astonishing. You should know that even the Ice River Valley probably could not muster such ability and courage.

On this open space, there are already quite a few people sitting or standing, each with a strong aura, clearly the first contestants to pass the Illusion Barrier.

Most of these figures were scattered, warily eyeing each other. Only a very few people gathered in twos and threes, but their gazes toward others were also filled with vigilance. In this kind of place, there were no friends, only competitors.

Xiao Yuan's sudden appearance naturally attracted the attention of everyone on the open ground, and immediately a variety of gazes filled with various emotions were cast upon him.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yuan was wearing Veiled Hat, and with the concealment of his soul power, no one could see his face clearly.

However, his impressive figure, which was specially adjusted to match the body proportions of Yun Yun and Cai Lin, attracted a lot of attention. Many eyes even fell on his full chest, where the badge of Seventh Rank High Level Alchemist was hanging, which made many people's eyes narrow slightly.

This woman is a formidable rival! That's what they thought.

Xiao Yuan's gaze slowly swept across the open space, where he spotted Xiao Yan, who looked helpless, and Cao Ying, who was beside him with a seductive smile on her face, saying something.

Not far away, a man was also watching them, his brows furrowing slightly.

Judging from the looks of it, he might be one of Cao Ying's suitors?
