Alliance, Mutual Benefit

Moreover, those qualified to participate in the clash between the Pill Tower and the Soul Hall must possess strength at least at the Dou Zun.

To cultivate to this level, one must not be a simple-minded or uninformed person.

They can generally understand the existence behind the Soul Hall.

If it weren't for the existence of the Soul Clan, the Pill Tower might not have actually chosen the Void Soul Hall.

Unfortunately, the more powerful one is, the more concerns one has.

This is what people often mean when they say that those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

With all these things on my mind, I can no longer act impulsively like I would when I was alone.

As the Three Great Heads, including Xuan Kongzi Pill Tower, they naturally have many things to consider.

It's impossible to just casually confront the Soul Hall head-on.

The only way to strengthen the Pill Tower's combat power is to utilize the advantages of Alchemist.

This is the main reason why they rushed over in such a hurry.

The addition of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist would be a significant boost to the Pill Tower.

Both their skills and reputation can improve by leaps and bounds.

This situation left them no choice but to be anxious.

Upon hearing that Wang Chen had accepted the invitation, the Three Great Heads didn't waste any words and immediately led Wang Chen to the Little Pill Tower.

After all, it's impossible to discuss such confidential information in such a public place.

The Little Pill Tower is their safest place; it's impossible for an ordinary person to sneak in.

Especially after the incident involving that Soul Clan Alchemist, the Pill Tower intensified its internal investigations.

As the most crucial Little Pill Tower, it boasts the greatest reconnaissance capabilities.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is their safest place now.

Wang Chen naturally wouldn't refuse the arrangement made by the Three Great Elders of the Little Pill Tower.

The original purpose of this trip was to reach a cooperation agreement with them, so there was no need to cause a dispute with them over such a trivial matter.

Moreover, Wang Chen had also been eagerly anticipating the News Pill Tower, which was renowned throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Wang Chen, the one with the lowest Dou Qi cultivation among the four, was at the Dou Zun level.

Traveling from Holy Pill City to Little Pill Tower is naturally not difficult.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen appeared in a conference room inside the Little Pill Tower.

Apart from the Three Great Elders of the Little Pill Tower, there was no one else nearby.

"I don't know how to address you?"

Xuan Kongzi, being the only one here whose alchemy skills could rival Wang Chen's, directly asked the question.

After all, Wang Chen was Ninth-Grade Alchemist, while his two companions were only Peak-Tier 8 Alchemist.

There's a clear difference in their status.

Only you can speak up.

"Wang Chen greets the three seniors."

Wang Chen was not arrogant; he spoke very politely.

After all, he didn't come here to show off.

There's absolutely no need to go too far on this; it's not conducive to future win-win cooperation.

"Not at all, I don't deserve to be called a senior by Master Wang."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the other two giants immediately spoke up.

They were Alchemist, and they understood the situation among Alchemist best.

Here, personal connections and such are secondary.

One's own Alchemist skills and talent are the most important.

A high level of alchemy skill earns the respect of all Alchemist.

If one has good talent, then one can also gain the respect of most other Alchemist.

Because his Yao Tian is good enough, it means that his potential for further growth is high enough.

As long as one doesn't die prematurely, becoming a top-tier Alchemist is entirely possible.

Only through this can one earn the respect of other Alchemist.

One is the present, the other is the future.

Wang Chen's alchemy skills and talent clearly surpassed theirs.

If they still dare to act arrogantly because of their age, their reputation will be completely ruined once word gets out.

Seeing the two giants acting this way, Wang Chen quickly spoke up as well.

"How about we each discuss our own points? I'll address you as seniors, and you can call me Master Wang."

"Master Wang."

Hearing Wang Chen say this, the two giants naturally accepted the offer of leniency.

This is acceptable; it can be considered a form of equal communication.

After all, Wang Chen is different from Xiao Yan in the original novel.

Xiao Yan, who had just arrived at the Pill Tower, was not as skilled in alchemy as Wang Chen.

In addition, one of the Three Great Heads has an ambiguous relationship with Yao Lao.

If you really want to count, she might even be worthy of being called "Master's Wife" by Xiao Yan.

Therefore, they naturally didn't need to worry about these things at that time.

Once you get used to it, there's even less need to worry about these things.

But the situation is different now.

Wang Chen has no connection with the Three Great Heads, and his own alchemy skills are simply too formidable.

There's only one Xuan Kongzi, who can barely be considered equal to Wang Chen right now.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't refuse Wang Chen's suggestion.

This will also help me get closer to Wang Chen.

This was their original goal, so they naturally wouldn't allow it to encounter any unexpected obstacles.

With Wang Chen taking a slight step back, the exchange of pleasantries between the two sides naturally became more warm and intimate.

After about ten minutes of friendly conversation, Wang Chen began to talk about the main topic.

"My main reason for coming to the Pill Tower this time is that I've heard of Pill Tower reputation and want to strengthen our ties with Pill Tower."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Three Great Heads were all very excited.

They hadn't dared to talk about such things before.

After all, they didn't know Wang Chen's situation at the beginning, so it would be too abrupt to bring it up now.

Even the Three Great Heads wouldn't dare to underestimate Alchemist of Wang Chen's caliber.

Not to mention that the Pill Tower is currently facing both external and internal troubles.

If we could win over a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, everything would improve dramatically.

They didn't know how to bring it up, since directly trying to win over Wang Chen would inevitably raise suspicions of dragging him into their scheme.

If Wang Chen finds out later and becomes dissatisfied, that would be troublesome.

But to everyone's surprise, Wang Chen himself brought it up.

This can't be blamed on the heads of the Three Great Heads.

Without hesitation, Xuan Kongzi immediately asked.

"Master Wang, how do you plan to deepen our connection?"

"Naturally, it's a mutually beneficial and win-win situation for both sides."

Wang Chen spoke directly.

"I am now considered a vice leader of the recently rising Kunlun Alliance."

"Since we are all forces in Central Plains, we can absolutely benefit from each other, complement each other, and help each other."

The Three Great Heads were also taken aback upon hearing Wang Chen's words.

They had heard of the Kunlun Alliance, this New Student force.

They initially rose to power by exploiting the Ice River Valley, and subsequently handled the probing from all sides with ease, without encountering any problems whatsoever.

It's impossible to avoid attracting attention like that.

Pill Tower had no intention of interfering with this New Student force.

After all, the Pill Tower itself is facing some troubles, so naturally I don't need to bother with a New Student tiger.

Unexpectedly, this New Student force actually has a Ninth-Grade Alchemist behind it.

No wonder it was able to rise so fiercely.

With Ninth-Grade Alchemist in charge, even if you put a pig on top, the power can still rise.

Because being Ninth-Grade Alchemist is a prestigious profession, representing the pinnacle of achievement.

But thinking about it now, it seems normal.

Without nuclear weapons to back them up, how could the Kunlun Alliance have gained such momentum?

"That's certainly not a problem."

"Since we are all forces within Central Plains, working for Central Plains peaceful development, it is only natural for us to cooperate directly and achieve mutual benefit."

The Three Great Heads agreed to Wang Chen's proposal without hesitation.

Although their Pill Tower is one of the two poles of the top forces in Central Plains.

However, the Soul Hall is becoming increasingly unruly, which is causing some concern among the Three Great Elders of the Little Pill Tower.

Being able to form an alliance with a highly promising force is an excellent choice for either of the two forces involved.

With an ally, the Pill Tower can now somewhat suppress the increasingly unruly Soul Hall.

With the Pill Tower as an ally, the Kunlun Alliance can leverage the Pill Tower's reputation and strength to achieve rapid breakthroughs and development.

This can save some unnecessary time.

It's a complete win-win situation.

Given this situation, the Three Great Heads naturally had no reason to refuse.

In the past, they certainly wouldn't have acted this way.

After all, the Soul Hall wasn't as aggressive back then, so their Pill Tower naturally couldn't get too involved with any major power.

Otherwise, it would disrupt the balance of Central Plains.

Now that the Soul Hall doesn't follow the rules, their Pill Tower naturally has no need to do the same.

If we don't deal with the Soul Hall first, no matter how much the Pill Tower follows the rules, it won't be of any use.

The two sides engaged in a relatively mild discussion about the potential for mutually beneficial cooperation between the two major powers.

The main point is how to achieve mutual benefit.

At the very least, no one should be allowed to suffer excessive losses.

Everyone should benefit; that's what win-win cooperation means.

Of course, they wouldn't publicly announce it as an alliance.

This is detrimental to the unity of Central Plains.

If everyone sees Pill Tower doing this, they'll follow suit.

Then the entire Central Plains will soon be in complete chaos.

Only when there are enough powerful forces can people be wary and avoid engaging in a life-or-death battle casually.

If only one or two are left, then it's impossible not to fight.

After the mutually beneficial cooperation plan concluded, Wang Chen also revealed his main objective.

This trip is to cooperate with Pill Tower to accelerate the development of the Kunlun Alliance.

It was originally intended to help me collect resources more effectively.

Without this benefit, Wang Chen would naturally not bother to do such a thing.

As the wealthiest power in the entire Central Plains, the Pill Tower could easily lend Wang Chen a hand right now.

Of course, Wang Chen wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation.

Cooperation and mutual benefit—that's what Wang Chen is pursuing.

Without hesitation, he took out the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill that he had refined in Holy Pill City from his Storage Ring.

"This is Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill that I refined in Holy Pill City. It's a low-level Saint Dou Sheng that can raise Low-Tier Saint Pill by one star."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Three Great Heads also breathed heavily.

Especially Xuan Kongzi has already broken through to the Half-Saint level.

If he could obtain this pill, he would be able to immediately increase his strength.

Although he is also Ninth-Grade Alchemist, he can't compare to someone like Wang Chen who has a cheat-like advantage.

He had only just stepped into the realm of Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Alchemist.

Refining some of the simpler pills among the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill is barely possible.

However, when it comes to Low-Tier Saint Pill, which rank among the most difficult to obtain even among all Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, they are simply powerless to help.

Otherwise, he would have already taken advantage of the Pill Tower to obtain a set of medicinal herbs for himself.

Even though the difficulty level is extremely high, with his skills and if he goes all out, it's not impossible for him to do it.

Unfortunately, his own alchemy skills were substandard, so even if he collected the medicinal herbs, they were of no use.

Now that Wang Chen had taken one out of his hand, he was naturally quite tempted.

This is a real elixir, not just medicinal herbs.

There is absolutely no need to bear the consequences of potential failure in the refining process.

"Let's go and prepare to sell these pills that don't contain any."

"Since we're all good friends, we'll naturally prioritize supplying you."

"We can exchange this pill for the market price, not the auction price."

Wang Chen spoke directly.

This time, he wasn't just trying to sell a single pill.

The main reason was to establish a connection with a master from the Pill Tower.

They will then directly assist in refining elixirs.

It will surely become a gold mine that never runs out.

Although the people inside the Pill Tower are mostly Alchemist.

Under normal circumstances, other Alchemist will not be invited to help with the alchemy process.

But this is only the general case.

If there are special circumstances, then of course it is not impossible to change.

Take now, for example.

Xuan Kongzi lacked the ability to refine Low-Tier Saint Pill, while Wang Chen possessed the capability.

This naturally presents an opportunity for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Although Xuan Kongzi was very agitated, he did not lose his composure.

Even the lowest grade of Tier 9 Medicinal Pill, such as the most basic Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, are still quite valuable.

Of course, compared to the improvement in one's own strength, a small price to pay is nothing.

Moreover, Wang Chen remained fair and did not take the opportunity to raise prices.

As the de facto head of the Pill Tower and the leader of the Three Great Elders of the Little Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi was naturally very wealthy.

After all, he was still an Advanced Alchemist.

Although compared to someone like Wang Chen who has cheat codes, he's a tiny bit inferior.

However, on the Dou Qi Continent, that would still be considered a top-tier Alchemist.

Taking the money is a matter of course.

Xuan Kongzi naturally had no reason to refuse the deal proposed by Wang Chen.

With both parties interested, the transaction was naturally very simple.

Wang Chen obtained a large amount of various resources, Xuan Kongzi obtained Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill that could enhance his strength.

It's definitely a win-win situation.

"My own alchemy skills are actually quite good."

"If, and I mean if, anyone inside the Pill Tower needs my help to refine pills, they can certainly come to me."

Above the Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, below the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill.

I can take on any of these tasks and help.

The fee is calculated according to the standard Alchemist, and a 100% success rate is guaranteed.

If it doesn't work, I'll cover the losses.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Three Great Elders of the Little Pill Tower all changed their expressions.

After all, Wang Chen was completely breaking the rules for Alchemist.

However, Wang Chen didn't care much.

His current Dou Qi cultivation level is already at the Dou Zun level.

There are also several Emperor Tier Heavenly Demon Puppet. As long as they don't act recklessly, their safety shouldn't be a problem.

Making this decision, they naturally weren't afraid of being resisted by others.

Simply put, he now has a certain level of confidence.
