Take Life and Death Lightly-If You're Not Convinced, Fight
After hearing this, Yao Lao also showed a look of surprise. He did not expect that the Heavenly Flames that Xiao Tian mentioned would be the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which is known as the Immortal Fire.
It's rare for someone to become an enemy or mortal foe of someone who possesses the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
Because they are not Undying Body beings, they are like a Demon Cockroach Beast; no matter how you attack them, as long as you don't inflict a fatal wound, they can quickly heal their injuries and regain their fighting ability.
"Tian Ge, where is this Heavenly Flames?" Xiao Yan asked, his eyes filled with longing, rubbing his hands together and trying to ingratiate himself.
"Where the location is is related to the next message." Xiao Tian looked at Yao Lao: "Does Yao Lao Pill Gathering?"
Upon hearing this Yao Lao froze, stroking his beard, lost in thought. He then snapped out of it, squinting at Xiao Tian, seemingly pondering something.
"The Pill Gathering?" Xiao Yan was taken aback and murmured to himself. He had heard Yao Lao Pill Tower, but he had never heard of the Pill Gathering.
"The Pill Gathering is similar to the Alchemist Competition you participated in before, but it 'Pill Gathering on a much larger scale. It's a major event across the entire continent, where countless alchemy prodigies from all over gather to compete. The winner will become famous throughout the world, and the Pill Tower's Three Giants are all former champions of the Pill Gathering."
"And your teacher was also one of the champions back then, and after winning the championship, he gradually became a highly sought-after and influential figure in the Dou Qi Continent."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at Yao Lao. He hadn't expected his teacher to be so amazing; he could brag about it now: "My Venerable Yao Chen!" "Who is your teacher?"
"You're not going to say that the Three Thousand Burning Flame are in the Pill Tower, are you?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Tian and asked suspiciously, "You're not planning to make us go to the Pill Tower to steal it, are you? Putting aside those stubborn old fogies inside, just offending the Pill Tower for a Heavenly Flames is clearly more harmful than beneficial."
The Yao Lao had never heard of any Heavenly Flames inside the Pill Tower before, so he must have only discovered it after his own demise.
The Pill Tower is a sacred place in the hearts of all Alchemist in the Central State and even other continents. It contains countless high-level Alchemist. Offending the Pill Tower is equivalent to offending the vast majority of Alchemist, which is not a good thing.
Xiao Yan also suppressed his eager expression and awkwardly said to Xiao Tian, "Tian Ge, although I'm a bit reckless, I haven't gone to such a depraved level."
Just thinking about offending all the Alchemist on the continent sent a chill down Xiao Yan's spine. As Alchemist himself, he naturally understood just how extensive the connections and influence Alchemist possessed.
"The Three Thousand Burning Flame such rare and precious Heavenly Flames. Given the nature of the people of the Pill Tower, they would definitely protect them extremely well. Obtaining them would be no easy task, and they might have already been subdued." Yao Lao also shook his head slightly. Even when he was at his peak, he was quite wary of the Pill Tower.
"They haven't refined the Heavenly Flames, nor do they know how to refine it. To obtain this Heavenly Flames, you don't need to steal it; you just need to participate in the Pill Gathering for a chance to get it." Xiao Tian smiled slightly as he saw the two of them.
"Participate in the Pill Gathering? What does that have to do with the Heavenly Flames? Is the prize for the champion of this Pill Gathering Heavenly Flames? The Pill Tower must be crazy to do that!" Xiao Yan asked, scratching his head, completely bewildered.
"You could say that," Xiao Tian nodded and said.
"Huh? The ninth-ranked Heavenly Flames can be used as a reward? That's too extravagant!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan exclaimed in shock.
"The people of the Pill Tower can't be that generous. Xiao Tian, do you know the reason behind it?" Yao Lao believed he knew the people of the Pill Tower quite well.
I know a little bit about it.
Xiao Tian continued, "When the Pill Tower discovered the Heavenly Flames, the Three Thousand Burning Flame had already existed for quite some time and was extremely powerful. During this time, the people of the Pill Tower tried to subdue it, but all attempts ended in failure. In fact, many Alchemist were even killed by it. Faced with such losses, the Pill Tower had no choice but to seal it away."
"The top ten in this Pill Gathering will receive generous rewards and the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame."
After listening, the Yao Lao said in a deep voice, "From what you've said, it sounds a bit like the Fallen Heart Flame of the Jia Nan Academy. One is for development, while the other is helpless. I suppose the Pill Tower is also in a mess because of this Heavenly Flames, which is why they gave it away as a reward at the Pill Gathering to see if anyone can help solve the problem."
"No matter what, the Pill Tower profits. Whether or not a qualified person subdues it, the Pill Tower gains a favor. You should know that those who can get into the top ten have very strong potential or cultivation level. Becoming Rank 8 Alchemist or even Ninth Grade Alchemist in the future is not a problem."
"Whether they subdue the enemy or not, they gain favor; whether they subdue them or not, they gain favor and resolve potential threats. As expected of the ever-shrewd Pill Tower, maximizing their profits with a seemingly insignificant opportunity."
Xiao Tian also strongly agreed with what Yao Lao said. Another point is that most Alchemist know there is Heavenly Flames here, but they don't have the strength to subdue it now. However, that doesn't mean they won't be able to in the future. So, they might choose to Pill Tower to prepare for obtaining the Heavenly Flames in the future.
The Pill Tower can also attract talented individuals to join, thereby enriching its own resources.
Although part of the reason is that this Heavenly Flames was originally prepared for Xiao Yan, the Son of Destiny, others didn't know that.
"Only the top ten have a chance to try and subdue it?" Xiao Yan clenched his hands and murmured to himself.
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Yes, unless you are strong enough to suppress the Pill Tower and forcibly seize it, the only legitimate path is to participate in the Pill Gathering and enter the top ten."
Yao Lao quietly looked at Xiao Yan, choosing not to say anything to comfort or encourage him, leaving it entirely to Xiao Yan's decision.
Initially, Xiao Yan used various tricks to entice and even guide Xiao Yan Xiu the Flame Mantra in order to take advantage of him. However, after spending so much time together, Yao Lao had long since recognized Xiao Yan as his personal disciple.
After a few breaths, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan slowly exhaled, a burning glint in his eyes. A slight smile played on his lips as he laughed loudly:
"I never expected to feel lost here. It seems I've been living too comfortably lately. My teacher was able to outshine everyone and win the championship back then. As his student, how can I let him down? I must have a place in the top ten, and I'll even fight for the championship."
Xiao Yan originally wanted to say that he was sure to win the championship this time, but when he thought that Xiao Tian's alchemy skills were much better than his own, he figured he would have a better chance of losing if he competed with him, so he chose to be more reserved.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, that's more like you, taking life and death lightly, and ready to fight if you disagree." Xiao Tian patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan with satisfaction, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. The fledgling under his wings had grown up and could now soar through the blue sky on its own.
