The Pill Refining Department was one of the most important institutions in the Sacred Alliance.
This was because the strongest alchemists in the entire Sacred Alliance, or at least the strongest in the Western Prefecture, were gathered here.
This was because the alchemists were not strong. Even the strongest alchemist here was only an Asura Battle Spirit.
Hence, the Pill Refining Department was protected by people from the Punishment Department. Other than the people from the Pill Refining Department, only the people from the Punishment Department were allowed to enter and exit the place.
At this moment, a few middle-aged men in black leather armor stood neatly outside the Pill Refining Department.
The words' Punishment Department 'were written on their leather armors. These men's strength were all at the Asura Battle Soul level. They were sent by the Punishment Department to protect the Medicine Concocting Department.
People like them did not have any background and did not belong to any powerful forces.
They were initially disciples of the Sacred Alliance, but now, they had jumped out of the ranks of disciples and focused on serving the Alliance. As long as their strength could reach the Asura Battle General level, they could become elders of the Sacred Alliance.
Ring, ring, ring …
The crisp sound of a bell reverberated in the air, startling the birds in the sky and causing them to fly away.
This sort of change attracted the attention of the guards. Each and every one of them swept their eagle-like sharp eyes toward the sky, and all of them entered a battle-ready state.
This was because the sound of the bell originated from the invisible array that enveloped the Pill Refining Department. When the bell rang, it meant that someone had triggered the protective array. Regardless of friend or foe, someone had entered the area.
"That's Elder Li, he was once an elder of our Punishment Department," When two figures appeared and flew over from afar, someone quickly recognized Elder Li.
"Greetings, Elder Li!"
When Elder Li approached, the guards stepped forward to greet him. As Elder Li was once an elder of the Punishment Department, they had a special respect for him.
"Mm, I have something to discuss with the Pill Refining Department's Alchemist." Elder Li did not say much and took out the Punishment Order.
Although he was still an elder of the Sacred Alliance, he was not a member of the Punishment Department. Without this Punishment Order, it would be difficult for him to enter the Pill Refining Department.
"Elder Li, please enter!"
When they saw the punishment order, it was as if they had received a death order that they had to obey. The guards did not dare to be slow and moved to the side in unison. They took the initiative to open the sealed door for Xing Jue and Elder Li.
After entering through the door, Xing Jue finally stepped into the Medicine Concocting Department and saw the demeanor of the Medicine Concocting Department.
The building of the Medicine Refinement Department was unique. It had a very strong immortal-like aura, and there seemed to be a formation within the order. The layout was very particular.
"Phew ~"
At that moment, Xing Jue and Elder Li could not help but close their eyes and take a deep breath. Because of the thick pill fragrance, they could not help but want to take a deep breath.
If it was a commoner with a low cultivation base, just a breath of the pill fragrance would be enough to extend their lifespan by a hundred years. It could be seen what kind of realm the alchemy technique here had reached.
"What a thick pill fragrance! There should be a level eight alchemist here."
Xing Jue opened his eyes. When he looked around again, he had a whole new level of respect for the Pill Refining Department.
After receiving the inheritance, Xing Jue was no longer the same as before. Even in terms of alchemy, he had directly advanced from the sixth to the seventh level.
Even so, there was still a huge gap between him and an eighth level alchemist. It was obvious how valuable an eighth level alchemist was.
The fact that there was an eighth level alchemist here who could refine eighth level pills was enough to prove the strength of the Medicine Refinement Department of the Sacred Alliance.
However, there was always a loss. Although the alchemists here were strong in alchemy, they were weak in terms of combat strength.
After a quick scan, most of the alchemists here were Shura Wu Zun. The Shura Martial God could be considered an expert.
As for the aura of the Shura Battle Spirit, there was one too, because it was approaching Xing Jue and Elder Li.
"I was wondering who it was. It's Elder Li. It's rare for Elder Li to visit my Medicine Refinement Department today. May I know why you are here?"
Space wiggled, and an old man in gray robes with snow-white hair and a spirited face appeared in front of Xing Jue and Xing Jue.
This old man was not simple. Xing Jue could sense with his soul that he had lived for at least a thousand years and was far from reaching the end of his lifespan.
Other than this old man, there was a man who was around the same age as Xing Jue.
What was worth mentioning was that although this man's strength was only at Shura Wu Zun's level, the badge on his chest told Xing Jue that he was a level seven alchemist.
"Xing Jue, this is Elder Li. He is in charge of the Medicine Refinement Department and is known as Sir Alchemist."
"As for the young man beside him, his name is Lu Yuan. He is a genius alchemist and is being groomed by Sir Alchemist as his successor."
Elder Li's voice was transmitted into Xing Jue's ears almost at the same time when the two of them landed, allowing Xing Jue to know the special identities of these two people.
"Greetings, Sir Alchemist!"
After knowing their identities, Xing Jue and Elder Li bowed together. Although Elder Li's strength was above Sir Alchemist's, his status was lower.
After all, the status of a level eight alchemist was not to be underestimated. In terms of preciousness, only the Shura Battle King could compare.
"There's no need for that. Just say what you want. Are you here to ask for medicine? I don't have any level eight elixirs, but I do have a few level seven elixirs. "
"Are you here to ask for medicine for this kid? If you are not a high-ranked disciple, you do not have the right to come here to ask for medicine. Elder Li, don't tell me you don't know this rule? "Sir Alchemist glanced at Xing Jue with an unwelcoming expression.
If Sir Alchemist looked at Xing Jue in this manner, then Xing Jue could still accept it.
However, Lu Yuan, who was beside him, also looked at Xing Jue with a look of disdain. This caused Xing Jue to feel extremely displeased.
Xing Jue could not understand how a mere Shura Wu Zun could be so arrogant.
"Sir Alchemist, I am not here to ask for medicine. Instead, I wish to borrow the Medicine Refinement Department's Fire Source."
However, compared to Xing Jue, Elder Li acted as if he was used to it. He was not surprised in the slightest. Instead, he said with a smile.
"What did you say? Asking for a Fire Source? "Hearing Elder Li's words, Sir Alchemist's expression immediately changed to one of shock.
"Yes, Sir Alchemist. This is Xing Jue, a new disciple of the Sacred Alliance."
"He obtained a seventh-grade immortal herb in the Pill Forest and wishes to refine it himself. However, he does not have a Fire Source to refine the immortal herb. Thus, he hopes to borrow the Medicine Refinement Department's Fire Source to refine medicine," Elder Li explained in detail.
"Say that again? Did you say that he obtained a seventh-grade immortal herb in the Pill Forest? "
"Furthermore, he wants to refine a seventh-grade immortal herb into a pill himself? Is that why he came to our Medicine Refinement Department to borrow a Fire Source? Did I hear you correctly? Are you sure? "
Sir Alchemist's eyes were wide open as he looked at Xing Jue. The shock on his face was extremely obvious.
"That is indeed the case. I wonder if Sir Alchemist is willing to grant my request?"
As Elder Li spoke, he took out the Punishment Order and presented it to Sir Alchemist.
He knew that with his status, it was almost impossible for him to borrow a Fire Source. That was why he had asked Sir Alchemist for help.
"Haha, interesting, interesting."
"Kid, your name is Xing Jue, right?"
Suddenly, Sir Alchemist burst out laughing. However, his narrowed eyes contained a sense of unease.
"Replying Lord Alchemist, this disciple is called Execution!" Execution was neither servile nor overbearing as he replied respectfully.
"Then, Xing Jue, tell me, what kind of pill are you planning to refine with a Fire Source?"
"Do you know how valuable a seventh-grade immortal herb is? Three seventh-grade immortal herbs, along with other ingredients, can refine an eighth-grade pill. "
"Even though you can do whatever you want with the seventh-grade immortal herb, it still belongs to the Sacred Alliance. Aren't you afraid that the refinement will fail?"
"Sir Alchemist, I, Xing Jue, am also an alchemist. Naturally, I understand the importance of immortal herbs."
"Without absolute confidence, Xing Jue would not come here to borrow a Fire Source. What I want to refine is not a pill, but a few bottles of pure seventh-grade Body Tempering Essence!" Xing Jue replied with a smile. He was neither servile nor overbearing. He was extremely calm.
"Oh?" Faced with Xing Jue's reaction, Sir Alchemist was startled. A hint of seriousness appeared in his narrowed eyes as he said, "If that's the case, follow me.
"Since that's the case, come with me. I also want to see how you refine a Tier 7 Body Refinement Essence."
After saying this, Sir Alchemist flung his sleeves, placed his hands behind his back, and soared into the sky. He led Xing Jue and Elder Li toward the towering hall in the center of the Alchemy Department.
Inside the hall, flames shot out in all directions, emitting an extremely high temperature. There were a total of one hundred exquisite cauldrons. Every cauldron's quality was not any weaker than Xing Jue's Nine Continent Cauldron.
Moreover, inside each of these unique and sturdy cauldrons, a special flame burned.
The hundreds of flames had different colors. Some resembled plants, some resembled animals, some were chirping, some were growling. They were all special flames of the world.
"Phew."
Looking at this scene, even Xing Jue could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. These flames were extraordinary, and there were more than a hundred of them here. This was enough to show how powerful the Sacred Alliance was.
"Xing Jue, you can choose any of the flames here. However, these flames have life and intelligence. Whether or not you can use them will depend on your ability." Sir Alchemist pointed at the neatly placed cauldrons deep in the hall.
"Thank you, Sir Alchemist!"
After bowing respectfully, Xing Jue walked toward the depths of the hall. He wanted to observe carefully and find the best flame.
"Master, I suddenly remembered the Body Tempering Essence you asked me to refine last time. I haven't refined it yet."
"It's rare that Master has time today. I would like to refine medicine in front of Master so that Master can give me some pointers." At that moment, the Alchemist named Lu Yuan suddenly asked.
