"Cough, cough, cough …"
The Thunder Clan's patriarch Lei Ying coughed lightly a few times, concealing the awkwardness in his heart. Relying on his powerful cultivation, he eavesdropped on the contents of the conversation between Xiao Yan and the other two. In the end, he could not understand most of the contents of the conversation.
Although Lei Ying felt that the contents of Xiao Yan's conversation were very important, he could only vaguely understand one or two parts of it. The most crucial content, he was still a little unclear.
For a moment, Lei Ying could only temporarily remember the faces of Xiao Yan's group, planning to go ask them again after the Alchemist Gathering ends.
"Gu Yuan, your Ancient race is pretty lucky this time around. To think that you would be able to find Old Man Shennong."
On the other side, the black clothed clan head of the Hun clan, Hun Tiandi, sat side by side with the green clothed clan head of the Gu clan, Gu Yuan. His face carried a smile as he spoke in a casual manner.
However, there was an endless coldness in the depths of his eyes. Old Man Shen Nong's name was well-known even to him.
Other than the strength of a six star Dou Sheng, he also had superb alchemy skills. He was a huge stumbling block for Hun Xu to become the champion.
"I was just lucky."
Gu Yuan's expression was indifferent as he slowly spoke.
If Gu Xun had not told him beforehand to get the Gu Clan to look for a high-tier alchemist in advance, the Gu Clan would have at most sent out a grade-8 high-tier alchemist.
As an ancient clan, they relied more on the Dou Di bloodline in their bodies. The Dou Di bloodline was everything to them and they did not need medicinal pills to raise their strength.
Other than the Yao clan and the Soul clan, the other ancient races did not have a rank nine alchemist.
The Yao race was a race that specialized in alchemy, so they naturally had many alchemists. As for the Soul race, because of the thousand-year plan, they needed to raise high level alchemists.
Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan spoke one after the other. They chatted aimlessly.
Similarly, in the spectator stands, the leaders of the various forces were also chatting, as if they didn't care about the competition below.
This was because everyone knew that the people who were refining the elixirs now were all grade seven and grade eight alchemists.
However, the Ninth Grade Alchemists were the ones who would decide the outcome of the battle. They were all still preparing.
"Gu Yuan, I wonder if your Gu Clan has any records of Wanjie Lou?"
Hun Tiandi once again opened his mouth to speak. This time around, a grave and cold glint flashed across his eyes.
After the battle of the Soul Hall, the Soul Hall was absorbed by Wanjie Lou, two of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Race died, and the Soul World was split into two.
However, Wanjie Lou did not destroy the Soul Race.
Hun Tiandi was clearly aware that Wanjie Lou was not afraid of the power of the Hun clan. Instead, he simply did not place the Hun clan in his eyes.
The moment he thought about how the Hun clan was like an insignificant ant in the eyes of others, the fury within Hun Tiandi's heart became like a volcano that had been suppressed to its limit. All he needed was an opportunity for this fury to erupt and destroy the world.
And this opportunity was for him to become a Dou Di. Only by becoming a Dou Di would he be able to understand Wanjie Lou's level and find a chance to avenge himself.
"I know nothing."
Gu Yuan shook his head. There was no joy or anger on his face. A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. It was as though he really did not know anything.
It was naturally impossible for him to not know anything. Gu Xun had already told Gu Yuan everything that had happened with Zhou Yang's group. She had even told him some of the information that Xiao Yan had told her.
Even the clan head of the Lei clan, Lei Ying, was able to analyse a thing or two from this short information. Even less needed to be said about Gu Yuan, who knew most of the information.
Currently, it was likely that no one had expected that other than him, the clan head of the Gu clan, Gu Nanhai, a Dou Sheng who frequently went out, had also come to the Myriad Realm Pill City.
None of the remaining clan members were left. Even those who were above the Dou Shi class had been sent out by Gu Yuan to the Dou Qi continent.
The Yao clan's plundering of the Storage Rings and the Receiving Stone Mine had already become a foregone conclusion. Moreover, he was not very clear about the relationship between Yao Lao and Wanjie Lou. Hence, he did not continue to place his eyes on the Storage Rings and the Receiving Stone Mine.
Instead, he threw his eyes towards the Qi Methods, Dou Skills and natural spiritual objects of the entire Dou Qi continent.
The eight star Dou Sheng Black Submerged King and the seven star Dou Sheng three immortals of the Gu clan led all the Dou Shengs, Dou Zuns, Dou Zongs and Dou Shis of the Gu clan to the various factions of the Dou Qi continent. They headed to the various large auction houses of the Dou Qi continent to wildly purchase Qi Methods, Dou Skills and natural spiritual objects.
The enemies of the Gu clan, who were once enemies with the Gu clan, were all within the scope of being robbed. Of course, this also included the Hun clan where Hun Tiandi, who was seated beside him, was from.
However, after seeing that Hun Tiandi had only brought Hun Huzi, an alchemist, into the Myriad Realm Pill City, Gu Yuan knew that the plan to rob the Hun clan might fail.
The failure of the plan was also within his expectations. Even he was unable to estimate the strength of the Hun clan.
Moreover, the plan to rob the Hun clan had been left until the end. It would not affect the entire plan.
"The Hun clan is also completely unaware."
Hun Tiandi wore a bitter smile. His eyes revealed a rich helplessness.
His heart was filled with a dense coldness and ridicule. How could Gu Yuan not know anything? He had never expected that Gu Yuan would be willing to send his daughter to the fallen Xiao clan.
Moreover, the Xiao clan, whose Dou Di bloodline had almost completely disappeared, was actually related to Wanjie Lou.
However, Hun Tiandi was not too worried about the revenge of the Xiao clan. Wanjie Lou had always maintained an aloof attitude. No matter what he did, he did it in an upright manner.
Under certain conditions, the Hun clan was still the strongest faction on the Dou Qi continent without considering Wanjie Lou.
Just like now, the Nihility Devouring Flame had led the experts from the Hun clan to rob the other ancient clans, the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe and the Nine Serene Ground Python tribe. Other than the current clan head of the Yao clan, Yao Chen, whose relationship with Wanjie Lou could not be determined, the other few large factions were all being robbed.
None of the factions could block the attack of the Hun clan after the clan heads of these clans arrived at the Myriad Realm Pill City.
Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan were calculating in their hearts. However, their expressions were calm. It was as though the monstrous upheaval of the various factions outside the Myriad Realm Pill City had nothing to do with the two of them.
"It is time to begin the pill refinement."
A faint smile hung on Hun Tiandi's face as he watched Hun Huzi release the child flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame.
Although the Nihility Devouring Flame that Hun Huzi controlled was only a child flame, it was a child flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame. It could be considered a young Nihility Devouring Flame. Its might was far from what the Heavenly Flames ranked at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Ranking could compare with.
Although the Gu clan also possessed the fourth ranked Gold Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame, Hun Tiandi was aware that no one in the Gu clan dared to touch the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame. This was because the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame was sealed within Gu Xun's body.
If the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame within Gu Xun's body was removed, Gu Xun would lose half his life even if he did not die.
However, Gu Xun was a crucial link between the Gu clan and Wanjie Lou. Gu Xun, who had been protecting Ling Ying, had revealed the relationship between Xiao Yan and Gu Xun.
If Gu Xun was injured, who knew if it would cause a chain reaction. That would affect Wanjie Lou's attitude towards the Gu clan through Xiao Yan.
If Gu Yuan knew what Hun Tiandi was thinking, it was likely that he would be shocked. Hun Tiandi was actually aware of such a secret of the Gu clan.
It was likely that Hun Tiandi still did not know about the spy that he had placed in the Gu clan. At this moment, he was extremely anxious. He was like an ant on a hot pan. Cold sweat appeared on his head.
Gu Yuan had only told the Black Submerged King and the three immortals of the Gu clan about his plan. Moreover, he could only tell the people of the Gu clan after the strongest experts from various factions had entered the Myriad Realms Pill City.
The spy that the Hun clan had placed in the Gu clan was immediately stunned after he heard about Gu Yuan's plan from the three immortals of the Gu clan. He had used a secret method to inform the people of the Hun clan. However, he did not receive any reply.
This spy quickly reacted. It was likely that the Hun clan had the same thoughts as the Gu clan. It was just that the Gu clan prioritized trading and plundering was secondary. On the other hand, the Hun clan only knew how to plunder.
In order to succeed in their plan and not alarm anyone, the experts of the Hun clan had naturally come out in full strength.
The Hun clan, which had come out in full strength, had become an unguarded treasury for the experts of the Gu clan.
How could this spy of the Hun clan not be anxious when he thought of the possibility of the Hun clan being plundered by the Gu clan?
"Unfortunately, it is merely a seed flame. It is inferior to Old Man Shen Nong's Heavenly Flame."
Gu Yuan observed the Nihility Devouring Flame in Hun Huzi's hand and recognised it immediately.
He had exchanged blows with the Nihility Devouring Flame before. How could he not be aware of its strength? It was likely that it had already entered the nine star Dou Sheng class.
A Heavenly Flame of a nine star Dou Sheng was something that even he did not have the confidence to control, much less a mere Hun Huzi.
Gu Yuan had just finished speaking when an old man with snow-white hair, who was wearing rough hemp clothes and holding a walking stick that looked like it was woven from herbs, suddenly ignited the walking stick that he was holding tightly in his hand.
Wisps of transparent green flame that appeared like a cloud slowly drifted. Layers of clouds rose. Following the scattering of many medicinal ingredient seeds by the old man, countless number of mysterious medicinal ingredients slowly grew while the clouds rose. They were emitting a life aura that caused one's expression to change.
"This is the fifth ranked Heavenly Flame, the Life Spirit Flame?"
A dark solemness flashed across Hun Tiandi's eyes as he coldly asked.
Although every kind of Heavenly Flame would increase an alchemist's medicinal refinement, it was likely that at least half of the alchemists would choose the Life Spirit Flame if an alchemist were to choose a Heavenly Flame to refine a medicinal pill.
"Ya Fei, go and inform Old Man Shen Nong that I wish to meet him after the competition."
On the city wall, Zhou Yang watched Old Man Shen Nong turn the many seeds into various precious medicinal ingredients in an instant. A glint flashed across his eyes.
This was a catalyst that did not have any side effects. If it was someone even stronger than Old Man Shen Nong controlling the Life Spirit Flame, it was unknown whether he would be able to catalyze a spiritual root at the level of the Immortal Peach.
Ya Fei nodded. Her heart quietly thanked Old Man Shen Nong for his good luck.
Other than Hun Huzi's Nihility Devouring Flame seed flame and Old Man Shen Nong's Life Spirit Flame, the Bone Chilling Flame controlled by Yao Lao, the Nine Serene Wind Flame controlled by Yao Dan, the Turtle Spiritual Earth Flame controlled by Yao Wangui and the Red Lotus Karmic Flame controlled by the alchemists from the Yan clan.
A total of six kinds of Heavenly Flames had appeared in this Alchemist Grand Meeting. However, only Old Man Shen Nong was valued by the owner.
The eyes of everyone in the audience were bright. They were attracted by the Heavenly Flames in the arena, especially Xiao Yan. His saliva was about to flow out.
After swallowing two Heavenly Flames, his strength had already stepped into the Dou Zong class. Hence, his desire for a Heavenly Flame had increased.
There were a total of twenty-three kinds of Heavenly Flames in the entire Dou Qi continent. Now, six kinds of Heavenly Flames had appeared. Among them was the second ranked Nihility Devouring Flame and the fifth ranked Life Spirit Flame.
How could this not cause Xiao Yan to be excited? It should be known that the Three Thousand Burning Flame that Yao Lao had brought him to the Pill Tower to try refining after the Alchemist Grand Meeting had ended was only ranked ninth.
"Little brother, what are you planning to do?"
