Everyone took a stroll around Pill City and finally gathered most of the ingredients needed to refine the pill.
"M-hm, we're still missing two core materials. We might have to go to the Pill Tower to find them."
Dongfang Zhuangshi caressed the green jade storage ring in his hand as he spoke to everyone.
"Pill Tower? Is it the pagoda at the center of the city? "An Lin turned toward the center of the city, where the seven-colored pagoda towered into the clouds.
"That's right, it's that legendary tower!" Dongfang Zhuangshi gazed at the magnificent pagoda in the distance with a reminiscent look in his eyes. "The Pill Pagoda is one of the most renowned pill refinement holy lands on the entire continent. Many mighty pill refinement masters have been born there, and there are even eight Supreme Stage pill refinement masters there."
An Lin was instantly filled with awe and veneration upon hearing this.
As far as he knew, pill refinement could be divided into five major stages: Flame Mastery Stage, Fulfillment Stage, Spirit Gathering Stage, Soul Creation Stage, and Supreme Stage. In other words, this Pill Pagoda actually gave birth to eight alchemists who had reached the pinnacle of perfection. This was truly a shocking matter.
One had to realize that Yi Xi's pill refinement rank was only at the Supreme Stage.
Xu Xiaolan was extremely talented in pill refinement, and she had also received Shen Yin's complete pill refinement inheritance. Even so, she was only at the Soul Creation Stage, so one could imagine just how bad * ss Supreme Stage pill refinement masters were.
At the very least, refining immortal pills was no problem for them.
"Do we really have the right to enter such a bad * ss place?" An Lin asked worriedly.
"Hehe, to be honest, normal people really wouldn't be able to enter. However, you have to know that I have another identity …" Dongfang Zhuangshi raised his proud head.
All the beasts drew a sharp intake of breath. An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's eyes shone with anticipation. An astonishing identity was about to be revealed.
"That's right, it's just as you think. I'm also a pill refinement master!" A smug smile appeared on Dongfang Zhuangshi's face. "And I'm a pill refinement master at the pinnacle of the Spirit Gathering Stage!"
All the beasts: "…"
An Lin: "…"
Xu Xiaolan: "…"
"What do you think? Did you get a fright?" Dongfang Zhuangshi's expression remained calm as he looked at everyone who was at a loss for words.
The corners of An Lin's mouth twitched. Speaking of which, this uncle was a mythological beast of the Dao Integration Stage, but he was only at the Spirit Gathering Pinnacle Stage in pill refinement. What was there to be proud of?
Hmm, should I tell him that Xiaolan's pill refinement skills are even higher than his and she's already at the Soul Creation Stage …
Xu Xiaolan had a hard time holding it in. It was really hard to watch a senior boasting about a weaker alchemy skill than her. She had to maintain a normal expression on her face!
Dongfang Zhuangshi chuckled. "In the Pill Tower, Supreme Realm pill refinement masters are already extremely transcendent beings. An alchemist at the Soul Creation Realm could assume the position of an elder or a teacher. People like me who are at the peak of Spirit Gathering are the most outstanding students of the Pill Pagoda. "
An Lin twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled as well.
The other beasts also chimed in.
An Lin was exasperated. F * ck, this b * stard was probably just like him. His aptitude in pill refinement was negative, and he relied on his cultivation base to get there!
His pill refinement skills were at the Flame Mastery Stage, and he relied on his Soul Formation Stage cultivation base to get there. Dongfang Zhuangshi's Spirit Gathering Stage cultivation base was probably also the result of his Dao Integration Stage cultivation base.
After all, at that cultivation base, even a pig would have some understanding of other things …
Wait … the uncle said that he wanted to refine pills.
But with his pill refinement rank, what kind of stupid pills could he refine?!
"Uncle Dongfang, you said that you wanted to refine a pill that can conceal our auras. What rank of pill is it? Can you refine it with your pill refinement skills? "An Lin asked in a more tactful manner.
Dongfang Zhuangshi sighed lightly. "That pill is a secret recipe that I obtained from an ancient book. It's a third-grade spirit pill, but I'm not powerful enough yet. I'll have to trouble a Soul Creation Stage pill refinement master to refine it.
"That's a bit troublesome. After all, I can't hide the pill recipe any longer. But that's alright. For the sake of safety, I have to make some sacrifices. "
The uncle had clearly already made up his mind. He looked like he was going to sacrifice himself.
"Um … there's actually no need to go through so much trouble. Xiaolan is actually a Soul Creation Stage pill refinement master." An Lin hesitated momentarily before deciding to speak.
The uncle's eyes widened in shock. "Wh-what did you say?"
Xu Xiaolan replied, "M-hm, Uncle Dongfang, I am indeed a Soul Creation Stage pill refinement master. If it's a third-grade spirit pill, I think I should be able to successfully refine it with the pill recipe. "
Dongfang Zhuangshi: "…"
Even though he had lived for so many years, the uncle's face still felt like it was on fire. His face became a little flushed. What could he do? He had flexed in front of everyone, only to have a junior suddenly tell him that she seemed to be more powerful than he was …
This kind of feeling was really quite hurtful!
Who would have thought that the pill refinement skills that he had painstakingly cultivated for so many years would be inferior to a young woman's pill refinement skills? Had he lived so many years in vain?!
Dongfang Zhuangshi looked at the bashful and confident woman before him. For some reason, the image of a big-eyed woman in a yellow tunic suddenly appeared in his mind.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Ms. Xu Xiaolan." Dongfang Zhuangshi was momentarily dazed before nodding in agreement.
After deciding on the pill refinement master, everyone continued to approach the Pill Tower.
Dongfang Zhuangshi was actually a little dejected. The honor of being the number one pill refinement master in the team had been snatched away.
Xu Xiaolan was a little horrified. Her pill refinement skills were superior to all Dao Integration Stage and Return to Void Stage mighty figures. This was far too surreal! To be honest, she would be able to brag about this for a very long time if word of this got out.
Soon, they arrived at the Pill Tower.
There seemed to be some kind of event taking place on the dao plaza in front of the Pill Tower. A large number of living beings had already gathered here, and it was extremely lively. There were hundreds of thousands of living beings on the dao plaza within a radius of ten kilometers. It would not be an exaggeration to describe this place as a sea of people.
At the very center of the dao plaza, an extremely loud and clear voice sounded.
"It's almost here! The Pill Tower's New Talent Cup Pill Refinement Competition, which is held once every ten years, is about to begin. As long as you're under thirty years of age and your pill refinement rank has reached the Flame Mastery Stage, you can register to participate!
"The rewards for this competition are extremely generous! As long as you place in the top one hundred, you'll receive a chance to enter the Pill Tower. As long as you place in the top five, you'll receive a sixth-grade immortal pill coupon. If you become the champion of this competition, you'll receive a precious pill refinement treasure from the Pill Tower, which is the intermediate-rank immortal tool, the Nine Spirit Cauldron of Eight Desolation! "
The host's voice spread throughout the dao plaza and also traveled into the ears of An Lin and the others.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan's eyes both lit up upon hearing this.
The two of them turned to look at each other and saw the scorching light in each other's eyes.
"An Lin, I just so happen to be lacking a pill refinement cauldron for pill refinement," Xu Xiaolan said in a crisp voice.
"Go, Xiaolan, show these living beings what true pill refinement skills are!" An Lin encouraged.
Dongfang Zhuangshi: "???"
