The Alchemist Exchange Conference Caused a Sensation as Time Passed

This news was like a depth charge, causing an uproar throughout the entire Northwest Continent.

In the Northwest Continent, the influence of an Eighth-Rank Alchemist is self-evident.

In this remote region where even High Seventh Grade Alchemist have reached their limit, Eighth-Rank Alchemist are truly unique and exceptional.

The Northwest Continent is resource-scarce, making it difficult to support Alchemist. Those with even a little skill and unwilling to stop have all gone to the Central Plains to make their way in the world.

This has resulted in a situation where even if some Yao Tian emerge in the Northwest Continent, they are unable to advance further due to the break in the lineage and the scarcity of resources.

In this way, the Yao Tian will go to Central Plains.

If this continues, even Seventh-Rank Alchemist will become rare in the entire Northwest Continent.

Eighth-Rank Alchemist are practically extinct.

In the entire Northwest Continent, the only two instances of Eighth Tier Pill Lightning appearing in recent years both occurred in Yan City.

Therefore, when Xiao Yan, in his capacity as Eighth-Rank Alchemist, invited all the high-grade Alchemist of the Northwest Continent to participate in the exchange meeting, all those who were qualified rushed to Yan City in the Black-Corner Region, even though they were separated by two ends and were far apart.

In contrast, Xiao Yan spent the entire month in a state of unbelievable leisure.

With many things weighing on his mind finally resolved, he was able to relax for a rare moment.

So, during the period before the exchange meeting began, Xiao Yan took a break.

He even stopped cultivating Dou Qi and learning Dou Skill, relying solely on the Fallen Heart Flame to improve his cultivation level on its own.

He devoted all his time to his female companion.

Accompany Xiao Yi Xian Medusa to stroll around Yan City and Black-Corner Region, buy some things, and watch the sunrise.

Incidentally, the [Yin-Yang] Heaven-Swallowing Talent has an excellent effect.

Medusa, in particular, benefited the most despite having the lowest cultivation level. Her cultivation level improved the most rapidly, rising from the Eight-Star Dou Zong to the Nine-Star Dou Zong within a month.

With the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python's bloodline Heaven-Swallowing Talent that allows it to rapidly improve its cultivation level as long as it has resources, Medusa's breakthrough to Dou Venerate shouldn't take too long.

In addition, Xiao Yan's improvement was actually quite significant.

The most important thing is that Xiao Yi Xian has already First-Turn Dou Venerate. His actual combat ability may not be weaker than Xiao Yi Xian's, but in terms of Dou Qi cultivation alone, the difference is huge.

Relying on his [Yin-Yang] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, and driven by Xiao Yi Xian's First-Turn Dou Venerate cultivation, his progress was extremely rapid, even faster than ordinary active cultivation.

In truth, his total improvement was greater than Medusa's; however, the difference between One-Star in the Dou Zun Realm was too enormous, which is why he was unable to achieve a breakthrough in star level.

Interestingly, Xiao Yi Xian Medusa, one using the excuse of helping him improve his cultivation and the other using the excuse of using him to improve her own cultivation, would spar with him from time to time, which was quite... very annoying.

Aside from Xiao Yi Xian Medusa, Xiao Yan didn't neglect the others.

He would often accompany Zi Yan and Qing Lin to search for treasures and go on adventures in the mountains.

There's also Xiao Xun'er. Xiao Yan would make a point of spending time with Xiao Xun'er, which would remind him of the leisurely and orderly times he spent with Xiao Xun'er in the Xiao family when Xiao Clan.

And so, a month passed quietly, and the entire Yan City and even the entire Black-Corner Region became lively.

Preparations for the Alchemist Exchange Conference organized by the Tian Shu Alliance have also begun.

The most important thing was to prepare elixirs and Medicinal Herbs for Xiao Yan.

Since the exchange meeting is being held in the capacity of Eighth-Rank Alchemist, it is natural to refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pill to prove one's identity and to thoroughly establish the reputation of the Tian Shu Alliance.

Thanks to the Tianshu Alliance, which is now powerful and has the Master Ming Sect as an ally, obtaining Medicinal Herbs is not too difficult.

After incurring some costs, they finally gathered Medicinal Herbs Xiao Yan needed.

Another half month has quietly passed.

In the past two weeks, more Alchemist and leaders of various factions have arrived in Black-Corner Region and Yan City.

Preparations for the exchange meeting were also nearing completion.

Because there were simply too many Alchemist coming.

Xiao Yan directly ordered people to build a huge Alchemy Square in an open area outside Yan City, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Although the Northwest Continent is remote, there are still some Alchemist of the Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier. All the high-ranking Alchemist in the entire Northwest Continent have gathered here. It doesn't matter if the building is large, the problem is that if it is small, people will think that the Tian Shu Alliance is stingy.

With the Medicinal Herbs collected, the construction of the Alchemy Square was nearing completion.

The Grand Hall of the Tian Shu Alliance.

Xiao Yan put his mask back on and gave instructions to the elders below.

"Elder Hai, in the past month or so, more and more powerful individuals and Alchemist have come to Salt City, and the consumption they generate has also increased. You must keep a close eye on Vientiane Auction House."

Hai Bodong nodded in agreement. "Understood, Alliance Leader."

Xiao Yan then looked at Xiao Ding: "This exchange meeting will be an important occasion for the Alliance to make its name known. Elder Xiao Ding, you must make sure everything goes smoothly."

Xiao Ding fanned himself with his fan and nodded, saying, "Understood."

Xiao Yan looked at Venerable Skyfire: "Elder Huo, let's put aside the matter of opening the Space Channel for now. This exchange will have a huge impact. Alchemist from all over the Northwest Continent have come, and they've also attracted the forces behind them. Some of these forces are even no less powerful than the Lion Underworld Sect. I'm worried they might cause trouble. You must keep things under control."

Yao Tianhuo's expression was serious. "Yes, Alliance Leader, if anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, I will definitely make them taste the pain of Space Strangulation!"

Xiao Yan still trusted Yao Tianhuo; the old senior was very reliable.

He finally looked at Gu He: "Elder Gu He, this time I will reveal my true alchemy skills and make the Alliance's name known."

"You are the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, and currently the strongest alchemist in the Alliance besides me. I don't want outsiders to think that the Alliance's alchemy relies solely on me when they talk about the Alliance, understand?"

A confidence unlike any he had ever shown before shone in Gu He's eyes as he smiled faintly, "Alliance Leader, I will unleash my full strength."

"Yes, I believe you." Xiao Yan stood up and nodded in agreement.

"Go and get on with your business," Xiao Yan said.

The crowd bowed to him and then turned to leave the main hall.

In the deserted main hall, the Soul Body the Yao Lao floated out.

The master and apprentice began to talk.

"Teacher, after this exchange meeting, the Alliance should enter a period of rapid development," Xiao Yan said.

The Yao Lao nodded. "Yes, the power you've built is becoming more and more impressive."

"The Tian Shu Alliance today would be considered top-tier even in the Central Plains."

"Even if we disregard Yan'er, the rest of us are enough to rival the Four Square Pavilions."

Speaking of the Four Square Pavilions, Xiao Yan paused for a moment and then said:

"Teacher, once the Ancient Clan delivers what they promised, I will help you revive."

"Let's go to the Star Meteor Pavilion then. I believe Venerable Wind will be very happy."

The Yao Lao was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with emotion, then he chuckled and said, "Alright."
