The Pill Convention Begins, a Ripe Peach

The assessment concluded smoothly, and the Ye Clan regained its status as one of the Five Great Clans. At this time, Lei Qi naturally stopped associating with the Ye Clan and returned to the Cao Clan.

Ye Xinlan did the same.

Over the past few days, Lei Qi had been coaxing Cao Ying in every possible way. Only after his sweet words did the little enchantress agree to keep the child. Of course, she made him promise there would not be a next time!

Her little expression was especially resolute. One could even say that Lei Qi had no choice but to agree.

Over the past few days, with the Pill Convention about to begin, the flow of people in Pill Saint City had swelled enormously. Everywhere across this vast region, countless crowds could be seen.

With the crowds swelling, trouble was inevitable. Fortunately, as a leading power of the Central Plains, the Pill Tower maintained order quite well, so the worst sort of riot never occurred. Still, as the start of the Pill Convention drew closer day by day, the entirety of Pill Saint City fell into a feverish state. The Pill Convention was not only a grand event for the Pill Domain, but for the entire Central Plains. Countless alchemists dreamed of shining brightly at the convention and becoming dazzling new stars admired by all across the continent.

The day of the Pill Tower competition soon arrived. The venue for the Pill Convention was located in the northern district of the Inner Domain, and that area had already been occupied by a terrifying sea of people several days earlier.

There were simply too many people. The thunderous clamor surged into the sky before turning into horrifying sound waves that spread outward, clearly audible even within a hundred miles.
