History

Pill World era

The Pill World was originally the Pill Tower’s headquarters. It was a space created by a Dou Saint, but its increasingly violent energy eventually made it unsuitable for human habitation, forcing the organization to relocate to present-day Holy Pill City. 216 218

Although abandoned as a permanent residence, the Pill Tower retained control of the Pill World. It remains rich in rare herbs, ancient magical beasts, former headquarters remnants, and the Pill Tower Medicine Pool. 216 226

Hun Xuzi incident

At the height of the Little Pill Tower’s prosperity, its Tower Master accepted the extraordinarily talented Hun Xuzi as a disciple. Hun Xuzi was later exposed as a Soul Clan member; after being spared, he gathered Soul Clan experts and assassinated his former master. 193 253

The incident permanently shaped the Pill Tower’s policies toward outsiders and traitors. Talented newcomers are investigated carefully, while defecting to the Soul Hall is considered a grave taboo punishable by extreme measures. 195 253

Rise of Xiao Ze

Xiao Ze’s admission transformed the Pill Tower’s public stature. He passed its advanced assessment as a seventh-tier advanced alchemist, later became an eighth-tier Alchemist Grandmaster, and eventually demonstrated the ability to refine pills that summoned nine-colored Pill Lightning. 193 216 364

His appointment as President made the Pill Tower home to a Tier 9 Alchemist for the first time in over a thousand years. His public refinement of a Tier 9 Treasure Pill drew factions and alchemists from across the Central Plains. 447 448

Facilities and Resources

• Holy Pill City — The Pill Tower’s current seat and the sacred land of alchemists. The city has eight outer-region spatial points and is vast enough to rival the Black-Corner Region. 192 362
• Advanced Study Tower — Registration and assessment site for alchemists who come to study at the Pill Tower; one of its eight Grand Elders is stationed there year-round. 192
• Black Giant Tower — A major inner-city tower used by the Presidents for meetings, rewards, and important official business. 216 293
• Elder Pavilion — Handles merit exchanges, including the redemption of high-tier pill formulas. 237 293
• Little Pill Tower — A hidden core realm centered on Ten Thousand Zhang Green Peak, where reclusive elders cultivate medicinal fields and generally avoid worldly affairs. 446
• Pill World — A former headquarters and controlled treasure ground. Guarding elders preserve its stability, curb overly powerful magical beasts, and repel outside invasions. 216 218
• Pill Tower Medicine Pool — A pool at the former Pill Tower site, formed from failed pills discarded over countless years. Its complex medicinal properties and enormous energy make it a rare wonder. 226
• Alchemy industries — The Pill Tower operates pill sales, herb collection, and auction houses in Holy Pill City. The influx of visitors for Tier 9 pill refinement greatly increased its revenue. 448

Pill Formula Accumulation

The Pill Tower’s collection is among the finest on the Dou Qi Continent. Its eighth-tier formula archive alone contains no fewer than fifteen recipes, including healing, cultivation, inheritance, and aptitude-enhancing medicines. 237

High-tier formulas are treated as more valuable than finished pills: a formula and capable alchemist can continuously produce a medicine, while creating a new high-tier formula requires immense research and repeated experimentation. 237

• Little Pill Tower members receive monthly allocations of precious medicinal ingredients for alchemy. 296
• Elders can earn merit through missions, pill refinement, and Pill World guard duty, then exchange it for formulas and resources. 237
• The Pill Tower values the continued existence of the Pill World more than any individual herb within it, since it can continually produce resources. 231

Alchemist Conferences

The Pill Tower hosts the Alchemist Conference, a major continental event that draws ambitious alchemists to Holy Pill City. 362

The Pill World serves as a trial ground during the conference, with entrants transported through a specially opened spatial rift rather than the normal guarded entrance. 216 226

Xiao Ze was entrusted with hosting an Alchemist Exchange Conference after becoming an Alchemist Grandmaster, signaling the Three Presidents’ intention to groom him for greater responsibility. 216

Conflict with the Soul Hall

Event	Outcome
Soul Hall infiltration	The Soul Hall targeted alchemists for their strong souls and infiltrated the Pill Tower’s sphere of influence, including through traitors such as Song Qing. 236 253
Call for allies	After Soul Hall attacks escalated, the Three Presidents invited Central Plains experts to support the Pill Tower, relying on its ability to offer high-tier medicinal pills. 305 306
Pill Region offensive	The Pill Tower mobilized elders and allied experts to eliminate Soul Hall teams, demanded intelligence reports from regional factions, and offered rewards for cooperation. 307
Restored control	The Soul Hall’s teams withdrew from the Pill Region after heavy losses; the Pill Tower’s regional control recovered and surpassed its former level. 313
Pill Alliance	The Pill Tower joined an alliance of four major factions, linked by spatial wormholes for rapid mutual reinforcement against Soul Hall attacks. 546
War with the Soul Alliance	The Soul Hall later formed the Soul Alliance with several top factions, leading to frequent clashes with the Pill Alliance. 568
