Although it was already late at night, the liveliness in Glass City did not lose out to the daytime.
Under the deep night sky and the brightly lit streets, Xiao Yan sat alone on the roof of a building as he stared into the distance with a listless expression. Everything that had happened in the Twin Saint Mountain Range flashed in his mind, causing his heart to involuntarily sink.
Since the Green Demon had made a move, it meant that the enormous being behind him, whose strength was second only to the Pill Tower in the entire continent … Ghost Gate had finally made a move against him. From today onwards, the opponents that he would face would be much stronger than before. Before he could officially fight with that group of neither human nor ghost fellows, he needed to possess sufficient strength!
"Huu …"
Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that had been buried deep in his chest. As he opened and closed his hands, the Genesis Qi gathered at the center of his palms transformed into a beautiful face that was reflected in his pitch-black pupils, causing him to feel endless tenderness.
"Xun Er …"
This great appearance was naturally Xun Er, whom Xiao Yan had been longing for. The latter was currently in the Ghost Gate and her situation was difficult to predict. However, the appearance of the experts from the Ghost Gate this time around caused Xiao Yan's heart to quietly form a premonition. The day he would meet Xun Er again was not far away.
...
The next day.
After a night of rest, Xiao Yan's group had recovered to their peak condition. When dawn broke, Glass City was once again bustling with noise and excitement. Dense streams of people moved through the city, ultimately gathering at the giant plaza at the end of the street. As the teleportation array activated, a buzzing sound of intense energy undulations could be heard. Golden light rose and fell, and the figures in the array disappeared...
Pill City.
Giant stone plazas stood in the distant sky. At a certain moment, golden light suddenly shone from one of the plazas. Moments later, when the light gradually faded, a group of figures with various gazes appeared. Xiao Yan's group was standing among them.
Everyone focused their eyes as exclamations quickly sounded. The scene in front of them caused them to feel extremely shocked. Even Xiao Yan could not help but widen his eyes. His face was stunned as he looked at the world that had appeared in front of him. Even though he was very experienced and was used to seeing the grandeur of the Xiao clan, he still involuntarily lost his composure when he saw this scene.
Looking from the position of the giant stone plazas in the sky, the place where everyone was standing was surprisingly a vast mountain range. The mountain ranges in all directions were gathered together like pillars that supported the sky. In the middle, which was directly below Xiao Yan's group, was an extremely vast lake. The misty clouds on the lake gathered together under the guidance of some kind of energy, forming a pillar of air that rose into the sky. A city was connected to it. A majestic city that was suspended high in the sky and emitted an overlord aura — Pill City!
"What a domineering city!"
"It is indeed worthy of being the Pill Tower. Even this headquarters constantly shows its position as the overlord of the continent!"
After being stunned for a moment, waves of shocked voices finally sounded from the crowd. At the same time, human traffic also surged out from the other plazas in the surrounding empty space. The scene from before began to repeat itself in this world.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, everyone in the square no longer hesitated. They moved one after another and hurried toward the entrance of Pill City. Xiao Yan's group exchanged glances with each other when they saw this. They nodded gently and moved their bodies. They also turned into light figures and appeared in front of the entrance of the city within a couple of flashes.
Xiao Yan only noticed that this place was already filled with a black mass after he arrived in front of it.
In front of the majestic city gate, there was an invisible barrier that blocked countless people outside. No matter how hard they tried, it was to no avail.
"The Pill Tower is known as the holy land in the hearts of all alchemists. Now it seems that not everyone can enter this place."
Xiao Yan felt the pressure on the barrier. It was likely that even ordinary rank 6 alchemists and those below the Origin Emperor would not be able to pass through it.
"The Pill Tower has stood on the continent for so many years. It naturally has its own unique selection methods. Whether one wants to use it to make a name for themselves or to rise to the top, one must first show enough qualifications for it to take them seriously."
Xiao Ming only spoke indifferently in response to Xiao Yan's words. Hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned slightly, shook his head, and sighed.
"It is this qualification that makes many people unable to reach the Pill Tower. They can only stand in front of this door for their entire lives. They will not be able to see the real Pill Tower until they die."
"Therefore, the Pill Tower is still the number one faction on the continent."
After saying that, Xiao Ming tilted his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Yan. Then, he walked forward. The two behind him looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. Then, they followed Xiao Ming's footsteps.
Not choosing the good. Such a harsh selection method was enough to cut off the continuation of any family. However, the Pill Tower, a super faction on the continent, had always been in a position that people could only look up to because of this.
Facing the crowded crowd, Xiao Ming only glanced at them, and an invisible pressure made the people in front quickly open a path. Then, under the respectful gazes of the people around them, the three of them walked into the city with light steps.
After entering the city, the streets in front of them immediately became a lot more spacious. Although there had been a lot of people gathering in the Pill City during this period of time, it did not seem to have any impact on the city.
Xiao Ming walked forward with ease, and Xiao Siyu introduced the city to Xiao Yan with interest. Compared to the latter, Xiao Siyu was indeed very familiar with the Pill City.
When Xiao Siyu mentioned the place they were going to next, Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched. His interest was finally piqued.
"So you're saying that the Testing Hall is the opportunity you spoke of?"
"It can be considered so. Although there are many rumors, no one has been able to prove that the Nine Words Soul Tablet contains the opportunity left behind by a certain almighty from the Pill Tower. There are only two results. Therefore, most people still have the attitude of trying their luck. There is no harm in giving it a try."
Xiao Siyu smiled. She had casually mentioned it because she saw Xiao Yan's obsession with the Soul Stone Metal Scroll. She did not expect that Xiao Yan would be so concerned about it.
While the two of them were conversing, they wandered around the city for nearly an hour amidst the noise around them. Finally, they stopped in front of a large hall in the southern part of the city. However, this place was already packed with people compared to other places.
The bustling crowd filled the square in front of the large hall. All kinds of experts were waiting outside the hall. No matter what kind of strength or status they had in the outside world, they could only line up obediently here. When Xiao Yan carefully observed the crowd present, he could even faintly sense a few terrifying auras of Source Venerables.
"Even Source Venerables are no exception …"
Xiao Yan quietly muttered in his heart. He involuntarily felt ashamed of the strength of the Pill Tower. However, Xiao Ming by the side suddenly flicked his finger. A white ray of light shot out and swiftly flew over the heads of everyone present. It shot into the large hall. Within a short couple of minutes, an old man swiftly walked out. He arrived in front of the three of them and respectfully handed a white jade tablet with the word 'Xiao' carved on it to Xiao Ming. Only then did he say, "This is the Pill Tower.
"Mister, please!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback. This jade tablet was issued by the clan. He also had one in his hand, but he did not expect it to have such a use.
