After a general explanation from Zhou Tai's group, Xiao Yan finally had a general understanding of the somewhat inexplicable Alchemist Alliance.
Xiao Yan had originally thought that the Alchemist Alliance should have been established by a certain faction in the southern region. This was because an alliance was usually formed by two or more different factions joining together. For example, the Sky Mansion Alliance on the Dou Qi continent was formed by many factions working together.
However, after hearing Zhou Tai's explanation, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little surprised. This was because the Alchemist Alliance was actually a faction that belonged to the Pill Tower. Moreover, such an alliance was spread across the various large provinces on the continent. For example, the western region that Xiao Yan was about to head to had an Alchemist Alliance.
All the Alchemist Associations in each province were under the control of the Alchemist Alliance. They were layered over one another.
Moreover, the thing that caused Xiao Yan to feel even more surprised was that these Alchemist Alliances were not only established by the Pill Tower, but they were also personally managed by the Pill Tower. At least half of the upper echelons of the alliance came from the headquarters of the Pill Tower in the Middle Region.
A super faction on the continent would actually disperse its strength to the border of the continent, a desolate and barren place, and establish an insignificant new faction. This indeed caused quite a number of people to feel extremely doubtful in their hearts.
On the surface, this kind of action was indeed the Pill Tower expanding its own faction, causing it to become even stronger. This might not appear to be a problem, but if one thought about it, with the Pill Tower's absolute ability to gather people, there was no need for them to use such an action if they really wanted to expand their faction. They could simply use the name of the Pill Tower to gather experts from all over. In this way, it would not be long before an endless stream of experts would take the initiative to join the Pill Tower. After all, no one would reject the invitation of the number one faction on the continent.
However, from the current situation of the Alchemist Alliance, it did not appear that they were expanding their faction. On the contrary, they seemed to be guarding it.
The Alchemist Alliance was scattered across every province on the continent. Adding the Alchemist Associations in the various cities, it was like an enormous network of factions that covered the entire Yuanwu Continent. Although they had recruited quite a number of alchemists, they were ultimately entrenched in one place. They were not like the other factions that wantonly expanded. Instead, they were continuously gathering their strength, just like a huge hidden dragon. Once this hidden dragon came out of the abyss, it would definitely amaze the world!
Besides that, the rules of the Alchemist Alliance were extremely strict as well. Those who could be recruited by the Alchemist Alliance were either extremely strong experts or high level alchemists!
Their recruitment requirements for alchemists caused Xiao Yan to involuntarily inhale a breath of cool air. The Alchemist Alliance's minimum requirement was to be a rank 4 alchemist!
An alchemist of this level, placed in the entire province, was a figure who played a pivotal role! However, their lowest requirement was already at this level! One could only imagine how high the standards of recruitment for those experts would be!
When he spoke until this point, Xiao Yan naturally could not help but have some doubts about Zhou Tai's words. Since the recruitment criteria of the Alchemist Alliance was so high, with his rank three alchemist level, it appeared that he did not meet the requirements regardless of whether it was his strength or alchemist skills.
Zhou Tai had already expected this. Logically speaking, with his rank 3 alchemist ability, he did not have the qualification to be recruited by the Alchemist Alliance. However, there was always an exception. As long as one's talent was sufficient, forget about this Pill Tower branch, even the Pill Tower headquarters would be tempted by him.
This was the reason why Zhou Tai had been specially recruited by the Alchemist Alliance. It was also because Mo Di, Yan Bing and the rest were aware of this that they had given in so quickly.
… …
After leaving the Alchemist Alliance, Xiao Yan bypassed the congested crowd and chose a more remote path. He lifted his eyes to look at the gradually darkening sky. Xiao Yan's straight body finally relaxed at this moment.
Xiao Yan had become the champion of the Alchemist Grand Meeting. It could be said that he had shocked the world with a single feat. Adding the reputation that he had created in this savage ancient city, the front of the Alchemist Alliance was already surrounded by a packed crowd. The entire front hall of the Alchemist Alliance was completely packed. The weakest amongst these people was a quasi one star half Emperor. Moreover, there were thirty to forty elite half Emperors present. This kind of strength was sufficient to contend with some small and medium sized factions.
These people were all from some of the clans and factions in this savage ancient city and the surrounding cities. Normally, they could be considered as factions that could shake a region. Even the Alchemist Alliance had no choice but to give some face to some of them. However, they had all gathered here today with modest smiles on their faces. They were all warm smiles when facing the ordinary elders of the Alchemist Alliance. However, how could those elders not know that these fellows were all here for Xiao Yan? If it was not because Xiao Yan had defeated Mo Di in the Grand Meeting and refined an Di tier complete pill, these people would not have hurried over in such a hurry. Even more so, they would not have treated them so humbly.
However, what they did not know was that while they were blocking the front door in hopes of seeing Xiao Yan, the latter had already quietly left through the back door. It was impossible for them to see Xiao Yan today.
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders as to how to deal with these fellows. He directly threw this problem to Gu Li and the rest. Gu Li and Chi Lin's hearts were filled with helplessness. However, since Xiao Yan had already left, it was worth it for them to brace themselves.
… …
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth was slowly lifted into a smile as he walked in an empty alley. He extended his hand from under his sleeve. An ancient scroll was quietly lying on his palm.
This scroll was the reward that Gu Li had set for this Alchemist Grand Meeting. This was the Di tier pill formula that Wei Yi should have been the one to refine. However, it had now landed in Xiao Yan's hands.
Currently, the Di tier pill formula in Xiao Yan's hands and the one he had obtained from Hei Mu added up to a total of five scrolls. Although this number was not considered large, it was likely that Gu Li's Alchemist Association had one third of their stock.
The Alchemist Association was after all only a branch of the Pill Tower. It was not easy to obtain an Di tier pill formula. Additionally, the other Alchemist Associations were obstructing them and they coveted each other. Hence, the number of Di tier pill formulas was pitifully small. Hence, it was not unreasonable to say that Xiao Yan had such thoughts in his heart.
After recovering, Xiao Yan kept the ancient scroll with one hand. His body moved and he swiftly flew towards the southern part of the city.
Currently, Xiao Yan's name had resounded throughout the Wilderness. That inn was no longer safe. If Xiao Yan's guess was correct, there was definitely someone waiting for him to take the bait. Hence, other than the sixth floor of the Yunyin Pavilion, the only other place that Xiao Yan could go to in this Ancient Wilderness City was likely Old Luo's place. In comparison, the natural energy within the Ginseng Soul World was even richer. For a training maniac like Xiao Yan, it was naturally the best place to go.
Once again arriving at this small courtyard, Xiao Yan no longer had the same cautious manner as he did the first time he had come. His body moved and he took large strides into the courtyard.
After entering the small courtyard, a wooden door in the inner courtyard blocked Xiao Yan's path. Even though this was the case, Xiao Yan's footsteps did not pause at all. It was as though he treated it as nothing.
When Xiao Yan's body made contact with the door, a circular mysterious energy ripple spread from the door. At the same time, Xiao Yan's body also entered it …
