The Commotion Caused by Nine-Colored Pill Lightning
"Dan... Pill Lightning?"
Outside the Music Pavilion, the Music Valley Master, the Music Valley Great Elder, and Yun Yun stood together, looking up at the sky in unison.
"One, two, three... seven... eight... nine! Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!" Music Valley Great Elder exclaimed in shock.
"Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, no wonder it was able to penetrate the Small World Barrier of our Music Valley and transmit the strange phenomenon in." The Music Valley Master's voice was no longer calm, his eyes filled with shock.
Yun Yun analyzed with a serious expression, "Although the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning is powerful, it can penetrate Spatial Barrier and transmit the strange phenomenon in, so the distance cannot be too far. It must be within the Southwest Region."
Music Valley Great Elder pondered, "There are only three Alchemist on the continent who can refine pills of this quality, and they are the three giants of the Pill Tower."
"I wonder who came here, and why they refined pills of such high quality."
The Music Valley Master narrowed his eyes but remained silent.
She knew more than Music Valley Great Elder and Yun Yun.
She knew that besides the powers in Central Plains, there were also Ancient Emperor Clans at an even higher level, and those Emperor Clan were the true rulers of the continent.
Eighth-Rank Peak Alchemist are definitely found in these Ancient Emperor Clans.
Especially among the Ancient Clan, Soul Clan, Yan Clan Yao Clan, there is a high probability that they have more than one Eighth-Rank Peak Alchemist.
However, she knew even better that these Ancient Emperor Clans Alchemist would never deign to appear on the Dou Qi Continent.
The Alchemist created the pill that could trigger the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning is most likely one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants.
"Yin Yuan, go and investigate to see which of the Pill Tower's Three Giants was responsible for refining the pill that triggered the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."
"A single pill of this quality can boost one's cultivation by saving decades of arduous training, and may even bring someone back from the dead, heal hidden injuries, and have an impact on the balance of power."
Upon hearing what the Music Valley Master said, Music Valley Great Elder Yin Yuan of Yin Valley's eyes narrowed. "Valley Master, do you think that this Nine-Colored Pill Lightning was made for the Fire Cloud Ancestor of Burning Flame Valley, who has long since disappeared?"
The Music Valley Master did not deny it, and nodded, saying, "That's right. Fire Cloud Old Monster was High-Level Semi-Saint back then. He led the entire Burning Flame Valley, and his power was even greater than our Music Valley, ranking first among the Three Valleys."
He was only targeted by the Soul Hall, seriously injured and forced to escape. He has not been seen in public for a long time, which is why rumors have spread that he is already dead.
But how could he, High-Level Semi-Saint, die so easily?
I suspect that Burning Flame Valley may have accumulated enough leverage to ask one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants to refine healing pills for them."
Yin Yuan's expression turned serious. "Burning Flame Valley and our Music Valley are both located in the Southwest Region, so they are already somewhat competitive. If that Fire Cloud Ancestor recovers from his injuries, we will have no ancestor to contend with, and Valley Master, you are already quite old, then..."
At this point, Yin Yuan turned to Yun Yun and said, "Elder Yun, if the Valley Master's guess is correct, Fire Cloud Ancestor has recovered from his injuries, then our Music Valley's situation will immediately become difficult."
"If you are willing to remember the kindness of the ancestor who passed on all his cultivation, Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills to you before his death, then hand over the Heavenly Flames you found in exchange for Tier 8 Medicinal Pill to prolong the Valley Master's life and restore his condition."
Once again subjected to moral blackmail, Yun Yun's attitude remained unchanged. "Elder, I will find a way to obtain a longevity-extending elixir for the Valley Master."
"This Heavenly Flames was prepared for someone I cherish dearly, and I will not hand it over."
"Valley Master, I'll be leaving now." Yun Yun's expression was firm. After bowing, she quickly departed.
After Yun Yun left, Yin Yuan said with a resentful expression, "I really don't understand why the Ancestor would pass on everything to that ungrateful Yun Yun. If it had been passed on to me, I would have found that Heavenly Flames and handed it over to you, Valley Master, to exchange for Tier 8 Medicinal Pill to prolong your life and restore your health."
The Music Valley Master narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Outsiders are always outsiders. Yun Yun has no sense of belonging to Music Valley; she's someone who can't be tamed."
"Give her some time. If she can find the elixir for me, then I'll be patient with her a little longer."
"If it's not possible, even if the ancestral legacy is wasted, we will never leave this ungrateful wretch alive!"
Apart from Music Valley, the entire Southwest Region of the Central Region also witnessed the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, causing a sensation.
Especially after seeing that the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning was located directly below the Burning Flame Valley, various speculations immediately began to circulate.
Burning Flame Valley.
The main hall.
Nine-Colored Pill Lightning surged and churned in the thunderclouds, their terrifying power causing Tang Zhen below to show fear.
"It really is the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning... This... How is this possible!" Tang Zhen felt like he was about to faint.
This scene, which shattered his worldview, made him seriously doubt whether he had been hit by some kind of Soul Dou Skill.
As for the Second Elder and Third Elder, under the pressure of the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, they were already slumped on the ground in a sorry state.
Tang Zhen covered his forehead, unable to believe what had happened.
A 20-year-old High Seventh Grade Alchemist is already astonishing enough.
Even so, there are still two or three geniuses on the entire continent who can rival them.
For example, Cao Ying from the Cao Clan, Dan Chen from the Dan Clan.
Because in realms below the Eighth Tier, with sufficient resources and guidance from renowned teachers, it is possible to reach such a level.
Therefore, although Tang Zhen was shocked by this, it was still within his acceptable range.
But what was truly unbelievable was the moment when it was guessed that Xiao Yan could refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.
There is an absolute gap between Eighth-Rank Alchemist and Seventh-Rank Alchemist.
There are probably only a handful of Eighth-Rank Alchemist in the entire Central Plains.
This is all because the most stringent requirement for Eighth-Rank Alchemist is to possess Spirit Realm Soul.
This is a condition that even a veteran Dou Venerate like him cannot achieve. It is simply too difficult. Without sufficient Heaven-Swallowing Talent, one will be stuck in the Mortal Realm for life.
At the young age of twenty, he had already raised his Soul Power to the Spirit Realm, and his alchemy skills had also simultaneously improved to the level of Eighth-Rank Alchemist. This Heaven-Swallowing Talent was beyond what could be described as mere prodigy or monster.
Moreover, Xiao Yan is no ordinary Eighth-Rank Alchemist; the Tier 8 Medicinal Pill he refined triggered Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!
In the realm of Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, two-color and Three-Colored Pill Lightning are one level, four-color, five-color, and Six-Colored Pill Lightning are another level, and as for the seven-color, eight-color, and nine-color Pill Lightning, the difference becomes extremely large with each additional color.
Back then, the Yao Lao was able to refine pills that could trigger Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, and he was known as the number one Alchemist on the continent, which shows how difficult it is to reach that level.
Compared to such terrifying alchemy skills, Xiao Yan's mastery of so many flames takes a backseat.
"Father, this Pill Lightning is terrifying! Can you withstand it?" Tang Huo'er asked anxiously.
Tang Zhen quickly came to his senses and remembered the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning poised to strike in the sky.
His expression changed drastically, and he said to the Second Elder beside him, "Second Elder, summon the Venerable Yao. Only Peak Nine-Revolution Dou Venerate can handle this Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!"
"I'll fight with all my might, you must hurry!"
The Second Elder of Burning Flame Valley stood up and, upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, immediately prepared to depart.
But before he could actually set off to find the Yao Lao, the Yao Lao, dressed in white robes, had already appeared in front of them.
"I'm here, don't panic," the Yao Lao reassured him.
He had already set off after the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning appeared and had arrived long ago, though he had only just shown himself.
Tang Zhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yao Lao suddenly appear.
Tang Zhen pointed to the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning and said, "Venerable Yao, I entrust this Nine-Colored Pill Lightning to you."
The Yao Lao glanced at the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, his expression calm, a hint of approval and satisfaction appearing in his eyes, but he did not move.
He calmly replied to Tang Zhen, "I don't need to intervene; Yan'er can handle it himself."
