After casually dealing with the three people in front of him, the old man returned to Xiao Yan's group, bowed slightly to Xiao Ming, and said in a humble voice, "Sorry to bother you.
I'm sorry to have let you see such a farce. I'll bring you into the hall now. "
The few of them began to pace. Mu Ling and Murong Qianqian continued to observe Xiao Yan beside them with some disbelief. Regardless of how ignorant they were, they were aware that the Pill Tower was an overlord faction on the continent. However, an Elder from such a super faction had to be this respectful when facing Xiao Yan. This really caused them to feel extremely stunned.
What had this fellow beside him experienced all these years?
Xiao Yan bitterly laughed in the face of the strange gazes of the two of them, who appeared as though they were looking at a monster. He could only roughly describe his relationship with the Xiao clan in the Middle Region. Although these words sounded simple, they caused Mu Ling and Mu Xun to be stunned when they heard them.
"Xiao Clan? Is that … one of the three great clans … the Xiao Clan? "
Mu Ling asked in surprise. His eyes constantly swept over Xiao Siyu and Xiao Ming in front of him. Murong Qianqian, who was beside him, had a very interesting expression. They had naturally heard of many forces in the Central Region along the way. Other than respect, they were also very curious about the so-called three great clans. However, they had never imagined that Xiao Yan's real identity was actually a member of the Xiao Clan. Moreover, looking at the lineup today, his identity in the Xiao Clan was obviously unusual.
Xiao Yan did not have time to talk about these trivial matters. Instead, he talked to the two about the north-western continent. When he learned that Zhou Tai had actually joined the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan could not help but be a little surprised. After all, the Alchemist Alliance never interfered with the factions at the border. Zhou Tai's action would undoubtedly be criticized. However, on second thought, Zhou Tai was a casual person. Even when he was in the alliance, no one could restrain him. It was likely that the condemnation from the outside world would not affect him.
While the three of them were conversing, the footsteps of the group had unknowingly paused. The few of them, who had recovered, followed the voices in the hall and looked forward. There were already quite a number of human figures seated on the seats on both sides of the large hall. Numerous gazes that contained various meanings were thrown over when they saw Xiao Yan's group arrive. With his sharp senses, Xiao Yan instantly sensed a gaze that contained enmity.
"Medicinal Rock Spirit, it's him again. "
Xiao Siyu crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her long and narrow pretty eyes contained a trace of disdain as she spoke.
"It is unimportant. Compared to him, I am more curious about whether there is anything interesting on that tablet." "
Xiao Yan gently lifted his chin. His dark-black eyes looked towards the middle of the seats at the front. Two gray-robed old men were quietly standing at that spot. Between the two of them was an extremely large stone tablet that was over ten feet tall. This was the opportunity that Xiao Siyu had mentioned, the Nine Words Soul Tablet.
"Ha ha, everyone, please take a seat. It will be your turn to take the test in a while." "
After leading Xiao Yan's group to a seat, the Pill Tower elder chuckled and gave a few compliments before quickly leaving. Xiao Yan's group, who had recovered, once again observed some of the people seated around them.
His gaze swept over the crowd. Other than a portion of the old alchemist grandmasters who had made a name for themselves in the Middle Region, most of the people present were from the younger generation. All of them had a Origin Venerate protecting them. This scene caused Xiao Yan to quietly praise them in his heart.
These factions usually did not reveal themselves. It was unexpected that a Pill Gathering would cause all of them to take action. From this, one could see just how important this Pill Gathering was.
"Hiss … what a turbulent fire aura!" "
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's roaming eyes stilled. They paused on a red-haired, young man seated at the front of the seats. From his senses, he could sense that the man might not have used any strength, but there was a wave of hot air rising around him. It was as though the man's body was a boiling hot furnace. Moreover, it was not just him. Even the other people beside him who were traveling with him were the same!
"That is a member of the Huo Xun Clan. Almost everyone in the Huo Xun Clan has comprehended the Great Dao of Fire. They even have a unique cultivation method for comprehending the Great Dao of Fire. Hence, the Great Dao Power that they possess is much stronger than ordinary people.
Even if they do not deliberately control it, it will still gather on its own. " "
Xiao Siyu's eyes stared intently at the red-haired young man. A wisp of flame continuously swam between her fingers. She, who also comprehended the Great Dao of Fire, was curious about the Huo Xun Clan, which was known for its Great Dao of Fire, just like Xiao Yan at this moment.
Just as the few of them were looking over, a young man in front of the stone tablet was pouring his Spiritual Strength into the stone tablet in front of him. As the Spiritual Strength crazily poured in, the words from one to nine carved on the stone tablet from bottom to top also lit up one by one.
Finally, the faint light stopped at the seventh position. At this moment, the young man's forehead was covered with perspiration. However, from the way he was frowning and his eyes were shut, it seemed that he did not intend to withdraw his Spiritual Strength. It was a long while later before he opened his eyes with a disappointed expression. After observing the black stone tablet in front of him once again, he accepted the rank badge that the Pill Tower Elder handed over to him. After which, he returned to the seats at the back.
"Heh, you really did not manage to find anything. This young master has checked this tablet countless times. You, a fellow who has just advanced to rank seven, actually dare to covet this opportunity. You are really dreaming." "
The Medicinal Rock Spirit was not afraid of blowing up the matter when he saw the disappointed face of the young man sitting opposite him. He did not hesitate to mock and ridicule the young man when he saw the young man frown and become angry.
"Forget about the fact that there is no opportunity within the stone tablet. Even if there is, it is likely that only an alchemist above rank eight would be able to find it. With your half-baked alchemists, it is best that you give up on this thought as soon as possible. "
The Medicinal Rock Spirit did not forget to look at Xiao Yan's group with a mocking expression when he finished speaking.
Mu Ling and Qianqian could not help but curse in a low voice at this annoying fellow. Xiao Siyu curled her lips but still sighed and said:
"This fellow is indeed annoying. However, what he said is true. This Nine Words Soul Tablet has always been sought after. Even some people from the Pill Tower have checked it a couple of times. However, they have all returned without any results. It is likely that if one wishes to obtain any opportunity from this tablet, one must first possess an even stronger spirit. "
"Ha …"
Xiao Yan could not help but laugh when he heard this.
"It is strange. Although most accomplished experts are willing to entrust their inheritance to those with great talent and strength, a rank seven alchemist is already considered to be at the peak of alchemy. If one is really a rank eight alchemist, why would he lower himself to seek this so-called opportunity that everyone knows about? Wouldn't it be a waste of his reputation if he did not obtain anything?" "
"That is why so many people are skeptical about this stone tablet. However, to the Pill Tower, whether the inheritance is real or fake is not important. What is important is that as long as this stone tablet stands here, countless alchemists will flock to it and ultimately become a subordinate of the Pill Tower." "
A bright voice that contained some laughter suddenly sounded from the side when Xiao Yan's words sounded. Turning his head, Xiao Yan saw that the person who had come closer was the person from the Huo Xun clan that he had noticed earlier.
