Xuan Kongzi's Predicament
The Giant Demon General Gexiusi walked out of the Shadow Demon Hall with a joyful expression, looked around, and then disappeared without a trace.
After an incense stick's time, "Ge Xiusi" appeared in a secluded alley in Shadow Demon City and slipped into a courtyard.
"How was it?" A voice rang in his ear as soon as he entered. "Ge Xiusi" grinned and replied smugly, "With me personally taking charge, how could it possibly fail?"
Then his appearance returned to normal, and the true form of "Ge Xiusi" was revealed, which was none other than Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.
Xiao Han, meanwhile, kept circling the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, carefully examining it, and asked with some surprise, "You actually have this skill? Isn't this the power of the Myriad Transformation Ice Soul?"
Myriad Transformation Ice Soul, the Seventh of Heavenly Ice, is proficient in the Way of Transformation. He can imitate all auras and forms, even Dou Techniques and skills, and can easily deceive even the detection of Heaven Realm Soul.
But clearly this was not an ability that Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice could use. Xiao Han was surprised and blurted out his doubts, then immediately fell silent. This kind of trump card ability was not something he could ask about casually.
However, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice seemed completely oblivious, and said with some arrogance, "It's just a disguise, nothing serious."
While Xiao Han felt a sense of admiration, he was also secretly amazed. Just how long had this guy been preparing for this day?
Xiao Han dared to make that plan because Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had exceptionally detailed intelligence, knowing almost everything about the Nine Great Demon Generals and that Demon King.
While they weren't quite at the point of knowing how many times each person went to the toilet a day—which is rather exaggerated—they were intimately familiar with each person's sphere of influence, the sources of conflict, and their various habits.
With the addition of the camouflage technique of the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, Xiao Han believed that the chances of the plan succeeding were very high. As the saying goes, three parts are destined by heaven, and seven parts depend on hard work.
They could manage at least seven-tenths of the effort, and as for the remaining three-tenths, fate... Xiao Han was very confident. The Fierce Qi Continent was their own treasure; how could they possibly side with outsiders?
"What should we do next?" However, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice is only the executor for now; the real strategist is still Xiao Han.
Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice didn't understand why he had to tell such an easily exposed lie, since the lie would fall apart once the Shadow Demon General and the real Giant Demon General met.
But he still wanted to see what the other party was really up to.
"What do we do?" Xiao Han suddenly let out a sinister smile. "You said there's another Charm Demon here, right?"
"That's right!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice was puzzled. Was this guy about to change his target?
But what troubled him more was that although the Charm Demon was only a two-star Peak Dou Sheng, her bizarre abilities were truly disgusting.
Everyone else has three burrows, but that guy just built an entire underground palace! He may be weak, but he has so many ways to survive.
Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had even tested his strength against him before. Although he was able to completely overwhelm him, he found it too difficult to kill him when he tried!
For half a year, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice pursued him relentlessly without success, and even faced the risk of exposing its identity until the very end, thus forcing it to give up.
That battle was the greatest humiliation of his life.
"All means of self-preservation are insignificant in the face of strength!" Xiao Han glanced at Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice indifferently, noticing the latter's resentment. He also had some understanding of the grudge between the two, but remained noncommittal.
Xiao Han certainly understood the trouble that Succubus General. But he had strong confidence in his own abilities.
With a difference of five stars, how could they not kill the opponent? It's not like that guy Uncle Snake who has mastered core technology.
While Xiao Han was plotting to eliminate a Two-Star Dou Sheng, Yi Huang personally visited the Pill Tower for the sake of her little disciple.
At the top floor of the Pill Tower, in the main hall, Yi Huang sat upright, while a Pill Tower Elder quickly left to invite the Three Giants.
Upon receiving the news, the Pill Tower Three Giants were initially taken aback, but immediately went to greet them.
Although the reputation of the Langya Pavilion in Central Plains has gradually faded, no one has ever dared to ignore its existence. They have merely voluntarily sheathed their fangs, not been toothless tigers.
Especially since this is the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion, the only wife of that Ice Saint, she cannot be neglected.
Although it was strange that the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion, a sect that had almost no connection with Pill Tower, would personally come to their door, Xuan Kongzi and the other two still went to greet him warmly.
After exchanging greetings, Yi Huang revealed her purpose. "The three of you, I would like to ask the Pill Tower for a favor."
Oh?
The Three Giants exchanged glances. It was quite rare for the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion to personally come to ask for help!
The Pill Tower is Alchemist, and the greatest need of many forces and powerful individuals for the Pill Tower is nothing more than pills.
However, this was an exception for the former Starfall Pavilion and Langya Pavilion in the Southern Region of Central Plains. The former once had the Continent's Number One Alchemist, Medicine Venerable, so pills were naturally not a problem.
The latter, Langya Pavilion, is one of the few sects outside of the Pill Tower that can independently train Alchemist.
Although it is unknown where Langya Pavilion gets its enormous financial resources to Alchemist, such expenses could almost bankrupt many sects like Four Directions Pavilion.
But they do have them, and quite a lot of them.
Not to mention having an Eighth-Rank Alchemic Grandmaster like Yi Huang in charge, there are also more than a dozen Seventh-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster and nearly a hundred mid-level Alchemist, not to mention many low-level ones. They can completely produce and consume their own products without needing to ask the Pill Tower for help.
Furthermore, most of the Alchemist in the Langya Pavilion are genuine disciples of the Langya Pavilion, with extremely high loyalty, making them much more trustworthy than outsiders.
Yi Huang is also an accomplished Eighth-Rank Alchemic Grandmaster, no less skilled than some of the old guys in the Pill Tower.
Moreover, this person has always been at odds with the rather arrogant Alchemist of the Pill Tower.
After all, Yi Huang once said that the greatest power of Alchemist is nothing more than connections, and connections are given by the strong. In the face of a true strongman, so-called connections are nothing but empty words.
This is completely contrary to the prevailing view among Alchemist today. After all, in the eyes of most Alchemist, even the strongest will eventually come to them for help.
Only those Alchemists who have truly reached a high level can truly understand this, because when a powerful person really intends to kill an Alchemist, no amount of connections can save their life.
They've seen this far too many times! Wasn't the missing Yao Chen a perfect example? Although they didn't know the details of what happened to him, the gate was most likely connected to the Soul Hall.
Xuan Kongzi felt a pang of regret whenever he thought of this.
However... now that this extraordinary woman has come to our door in person, the Three Giants are quite pleased with themselves. At least the strength of our Pill Tower is still quite reassuring!
"I wonder what favors Deputy Pavilion Master Yi would like the Pill Tower to do?" Xuan Kongzi asked politely.
"I will never refuse any favor that is within Pill Tower power."
Xuan Kongzi was quite cautious in his speech. If he made a promise right away and then couldn't fulfill it, he would lose face big time.
"I hope the Pill Tower can help me find a method to condense the Woeful Poison Body Poison Pill." Yi Huang's request made Xuan Kongzi feel wise that he hadn't spoken too definitively.
The method for condensing the Woeful Poison Body Poison Pill has been lost since the Woeful Tribe was wiped out. Although all Alchemist are very interested in this, he really doesn't know it!
To this, Xuan Kongzi could only say... As expected of the Langya Pavilion, their requests are indeed so unrestrained!
