After discussing with Gu Li and Xiao Yan, the matter of the Void Lightning Pool was temporarily settled. Since there was still more than half a month before the Lightning Pool opened, Xiao Yan simply stayed at the Alchemist Guild.
Wei Yi is dead, and his residence has been completely renovated by Gu Li's men. Xiao Yan, now the chief alchemist of the Alchemist Guild, naturally moved in there.
In the days that followed, once everyone learned that Xiao Yan was staying at the guild, the number of people coming to ask him questions suddenly increased.
The small room, barely a dozen square meters, was packed with people, except for some furniture. The area outside the door was also filled with a large crowd.
Faced with this, Xiao Yan was filled with helplessness and had no other choice. Gu Li and Chi Lin wanted to help him, but there were simply too many alchemists seeking his advice, so they couldn't interfere too much.
When Wei Yi was in office, he was only interested in accumulating wealth and was very greedy. He looked down on low-level alchemists and wouldn't pay any attention to them unless they paid a certain price.
This explains why, after Wei Yi died at Xiao Yan's hands, the guild's alchemists not only harbored no resentment towards Xiao Yan, but also developed a strong liking for him. Given his current status, this situation was quite understandable.
This situation continued for three days. On the third day, Xiao Yan could no longer bear the invisible bombardment from the alchemists. He hurriedly went to Gu Li and told him that he would be refining pills in the Alchemist Guild so that the lower-level alchemists could come and observe.
This method unexpectedly proved effective for everyone. Although no more Emperor Grade Pill were refined, the production of Ninth-grade Pill still greatly excited the alchemists present.
Several Ninth-grade Pill that are normally extremely difficult to refine are now being made by Xiao Yan with seemingly effortless ease.
From refining medicinal herbs to condensing the Nascent Pill, and finally completing the pill, the entire process within Xiao Yan's medicine Xiao Yan proceeded without the slightest pause. Even the extraction of medicinal herbs was more than twice as fast as that of ordinary alchemists, which once again shocked everyone with his methods.
As expected of Second-Tier Alchemist, he is a terrifying existence who surpasses ordinary Ninth-Grade Alchemist. Ninth-grade Pill are made with ease in his hands!
The Heavenly Flames surged within the medicine cauldron on the stage, while the crowd below gasped in amazement. The Ninth-grade Pill was rapidly formed in Xiao Yan's hands, and Xiao Yan Yan's status in the hearts of the crowd also rose rapidly. In just a few days, Xiao Yan's image in the minds of the crowd was almost the same as that of the chief alchemists of the past, and even surpassed that of the current president Gu Li and Chi Lin!
"Haha, you rascal, you've been living in the guild these past few days, stealing the limelight from us two old folks. All we hear in the guild these days are those brats gossiping about how amazing your alchemy skills are, making us two old folks seem like we're so worthless, hahahaha."
In the hall, Gu Li sat next to Xiao Yan, looking at Xiao Yan with a smile and saying jokingly.
Upon hearing this, the latter couldn't help but smile wryly, shake his head, sigh softly, and then spoke:
"If it could let you two experience what it's like to be overwhelmed by questions, I'd rather you were the ones in the limelight."
"Hahaha, forget it. We're both old guys, unlike you young people who can take a lot of stress."
Chi Lin, standing to the side, burst out laughing.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. This was Wei Yi's doing, and now he had to bear the consequences. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a pang of melancholy.
That night
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, only one night remains before the Void Lightning Pool opens. Xiao Yan has put aside all other matters and is now sitting cross-legged on his bed in his room with his eyes closed...
At this moment, in front of Xiao Yan, the entire room, whether on the table or the floor, wherever there was room to place an item, was now densely filled with countless jade bottles.
On the bed, Xiao Yan spread his palms out and casually waved them. Heavenly Flames burst forth. After being controlled by Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, hundreds of palm-sized, dazzling Fire Lotus appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes in a short time.
Hundreds of Fire Lotus floated in mid-air like works of art, their brilliant flames illuminating the entire house as if it were daytime.
Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and hundreds of Fire Lotus immediately shot into the jade bottle below as if on command.
Within an hour, Xiao Yan repeated this set of movements no less than ten times, and each of the jade bottles that filled the entire room contained a Fire Lotus.
After doing all this, Xiao Yan finally let out a soft breath. With his Xiao Yan strength, the Fire Lotus Bottle could be condensed again, and the power unleashed by the Fire Lotus within it would probably be no less than that of an ordinary Di Class Dou Technique. Moreover, he had condensed no less than five thousand Fire Lotus Bottle this time.
Five thousand Fire Lotus Bottle are equivalent to five thousand Di Class Dou Technique. If they were to explode together, the power would be unbearable even for Half-Emperor.
Xiao Yan will treat all of this as a surprise for Mo Zhai later!
The next day.
Today marks the day the Void Lightning Pool will open, making the Ancient Wilderness City even more bustling than usual.
As Xiao Yan stepped out of the room, he looked up and saw streaks of light constantly flying across the sky; those were all Half-Emperor level experts.
Even today, those Half-Emperor who did not obtain the Void Lightning Pool Invitation have not given up. Precisely because today is the day the Void Lightning Pool opens, those who possess the Lightning Invitation will surely take Lightning Invitation out. Therefore, they are waiting for the Lightning Invitation to be used as bait.
Upon reaching the main hall, Gu Li and Chi Lin were already waiting there. The three of them smiled at each other upon meeting, and then, without wasting any more time, they walked out of the hall side by side, and with a single step, they soared into the sky.
"Hehe, although those who bear the Lightning Invitation will gather in my Wilderness, the actual location where the Void Lightning Pool opens is not within my Ancient Wilderness City, but outside the Ancient Wilderness City, on Ge Thunder Mountain, three thousand miles away."
During their flight, Gu Li, with a faint smile, explained to Xiao Yan the location where the Void Lightning Pool was opened.
" Ge Thunder Mountain is a towering mountain, perpetually shrouded in thunderclouds. The entire mountain is rich in Mithril, Mithril has a unique attraction to lightning. Therefore, it is an ideal place for lightning-attribute cultivators, and it is precisely for these reasons that the Void Lightning Pool is located there."
As Xiao Yan listened to Gu Li's explanation, he nodded secretly, gaining some understanding of the so-called Ge Thunder Mountain.
After the three left the Ancient Wilderness City and flew westward for about three thousand miles, sure enough, at the end of Xiao Yan's sight, there was a towering Thunder Mountain. It was called Thunder Mountain because the mountainside was surrounded by thick thunderclouds. Even though they were far apart, Xiao Yan could still feel the invisible pressure coming from Thunder Mountain.
"The thunder here is indeed different from elsewhere."
Xiao Yan used his Spiritual Strength to carefully probe the unusual aura in the world, and exclaimed in amazement.
At this moment, even the Xiao Jin that had been sleeping inside Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan couldn't help but wake up and start frolicking inside him. Xiao Yan had a thought and calmed it down.
"Hehe, the mountain range where Ge Thunder Mountain is located is called the Ge Thunder Mountain Range. It is said that a Dou Di powerhouse with the lightning attribute broke through here. When he broke through, heavenly lightning descended, and the sky and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles changed color. Such power was truly awe-inspiring!"
Chi Lin gazed at the vast mountain range before him. Although he had been here more than ten times, every time he saw this mountain range, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
Gu Li was also helpless in the face of this. He and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, shook their heads and chuckled, and then, without saying anything more, they moved and flew towards Ge Thunder Mountain at the end of their sight.
