The next morning.
Lu An hadn't been to the Medicine God Nation for a long time. He could still remember many things about the Medicine God Nation and the people he met there. Unfortunately, he had never been to the Imperial City. After all, it was the holy land in the hearts of all the alchemists in the world.
Lu An wasn't going to the Medicine God Nation alone this time. Beauty Yang was going with him. Lu An didn't refuse because they were only going to talk and there wasn't any danger.
Beauty Yang opened the teleportation array and the two of them walked in.

Northwest of the Medicine God Nation, Yuanshan City.
Lu An and Beauty Yang walked out and came to this city again. Lu An felt nostalgic.
He still remembered some people in this city — Dong Hao, his daughter Dong Jie, Song Zhi, Chen Mi, and so on. He had some memories with these people, but they were destined to be passersby. Lu An didn't disturb them and immediately set off with Beauty Yang towards the Imperial City of the Medicine God Nation.
They were still far from the Imperial City, but Lu An was already a Level Eight Heavenly Master. The two of them flew very quickly. Even so, the two of them didn't reach the Imperial City until the afternoon. They descended from the sky and directly entered the city.
Along the way, they saw that the Medicine God Nation was indeed not destroyed by the chaos in the world. However, the chaos still had a very obvious effect on the Medicine God Nation. This could be seen from the prices of the surrounding goods.
The price of pills had at least doubled.
The Imperial City was very big. There were shops on both sides of the street, and every one of them was very busy. The air of the entire city was filled with the fragrance of pills and a faint burnt smell. This smell was something no other city had.
Lu An and Beauty Yang were here for business, so they naturally wouldn't wander around the streets. They quickly came to the center of the Imperial City, which was outside the headquarters of the Medicine God Alliance. The Medicine God Nation didn't have a traditional military regime. It was only an alliance formed by various powerhouses who came to seek refuge.
Outside the palace was a huge square. Half of the square was filled with people while the other half was an empty space for the palace. There was a line on the ground. No matter who walked, no matter how crowded it was, they would not step on it or cross it.
At this time, Lu An and Yang Meiren had already walked into the plaza. The two of them directly crossed the line and entered the other half of the plaza, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
Many people looked over. Generally speaking, those who crossed the line were people on business. However, these two people's attire was completely different from that of the Apothecary Union. Could they be outsiders?
Seeing that someone had crossed the line and was walking towards the main entrance of the palace, the guards in front of the main entrance immediately moved. In an instant, they appeared in front of Lu An and Beauty Yang, blocking their path.
The two guards looked at the man and woman in front of them. The man's aura was extraordinary, and the woman's beauty was unparalleled. The two guards were dumbfounded and did not give off any auras, so they asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Sun Zhong." Lu An said, "Is Pharmacist Sun Zhong here?"
Sun Zhong?!
The two guards were stunned. Who was Sun Zhong? Although he wasn't the leader of the Apothecary Alliance, his alchemy skills were definitely one of the best in the Apothecary Alliance! If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to hold real power, he could really be the leader now!
If they were looking for an ordinary elder, the two guards wouldn't be so surprised. However, this man and woman were looking for Sun Zhong, so they had no choice but to interrogate them about their identities and intentions.
"Who are you?" The guard asked. "Elder Sun is studying alchemy every day, so he doesn't have time to meet idle people. If you have something to say, say it first. If it's reasonable, I will report it to him!"
The guard's words were reasonable, so Lu An naturally understood the rules. He cupped his hands and said, "Please report that Lu An of the Apothecary Conference is looking for him."
Lu An?!
The two guards were stunned. Then, their bodies shook violently. They looked at the man in disbelief and said, "You … you are the champion, Lu An?!"
"Yes," Lu An said. "Please report it quickly. I have something important to discuss with him."
After hearing Lu An's name, the two guards didn't dare to be negligent. One of them immediately turned around and ran toward the main entrance of the palace. The other hurriedly smiled apologetically at Lu An and Beauty Yang and said, "We were blind just now. Please forgive us, Apothecary Lu …"
Lu An naturally wouldn't make things difficult for a guard. Moreover, the guard didn't do anything wrong. Lu An and Beauty Yang waited outside the door. They didn't have to wait for long before a 'bang' came from the sky. Lu An and Beauty Yang both looked up.
They saw a figure gliding across the sky above the Royal City, leaving behind a flaming reddish-yellow line. In an instant, it rushed to the square!
Whoosh!!!
A strong wind blew, causing many people to sway. Some people even fell from the wind. It was enough to show how impatient the newcomer was.
In the center of the gale, Lu An and Beauty Yang's clothes didn't flutter at all. A figure quickly appeared in front of them. If it wasn't Sun Zhong, who else could it be?!
"Senior Sun." Lu An clasped his hands and said politely, "Long time no see."
"Apothecary Lu!" Sun Zhong took a deep breath, his eyes filled with radiance as he looked at Lu An. Similarly, he clasped his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Apothecary Lu would personally come here. What a surprise!"
From Sun Zhong's eyes, emotions and words, one could see that he didn't have the slightest hostility towards Lu An. Although Sun Zhong was arrogant, but he was definitely a free and easy person. Facing someone who was better than him in alchemy, he would never be jealous or hateful. Instead, he held a respectful attitude.
"It's my fault for intruding." Lu An said, "Please forgive me senior."
"Ai! Don't say that! "Sun Zhong hurriedly waved his hands and said," Apothecary Lu can come, I can't ask for anything more! This must be Madam Lu, right? The two of you please follow me, let's enter the palace for a chat! "
With so many people gathered outside, it was indeed not a good place to talk. Immediately, Sun Zhong led the two into the palace and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know the background of this pair of young people, but they all recognized Sun Zhong. To be treated so politely by Sun Zhong, they were most likely not ordinary people.
Inside the palace, the three of them quickly arrived at a palace. After Sun Zhong invited Lu An and Beauty Yang to take a seat, he also sat down. After ordering someone to pour tea, he asked Lu An, "I don't know if I should call you Apothecary Lu … or Alliance Master Lu."
Lu An was startled and asked, "Does senior know where I come from?"
"Of course." Sun Zhong smiled and said, "The name of the Ice Fire Alliance is like thunder in the ears of the Sect. Although our Medicine God Nation is not a Sect, we do business with many Sects on elixir pills. We have a lot of information, so it's easy to find out. "
Hearing this, Lu An suddenly understood. Indeed, most of the elixir pills in the Sect Heavenly Gate were for internal use, and a small portion could not be sold to 30 Sects. It was reasonable for Sects to cooperate with the Medicine God Nation.
"May I know why Alliance Master Lu is looking for me?" Sun Zhong asked, "I just heard from the guard that you have something to discuss with me."
"That's right." Lu An did not beat around the bush and nodded. "Since senior knows about the Ice Fire Alliance, it's easier to talk about it. Now that the Ice Fire Alliance is getting bigger and bigger, it needs more elixir pills. I want to ask if it's possible for all the Heavenly Masters of the Medicine God Nation to join the Ice Fire Alliance?"
Join the Ice Fire Alliance?
Sun Zhong was stunned. His eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "Why? You have to give me a reason. Otherwise, why would we get involved in the grievances between the Ice Fire Alliance and the Sects when we are doing so well in the Medicine God Nation? "
"The world is in chaos, and even the Mystical Beasts have begun to enter the continent. Sooner or later, the Medicine God Nation will not be able to maintain its current peace." Lu An said, "It's always better to make a decision early than late. Our Ice Fire Alliance is not a Sect, so we don't have high requirements for controlling our forces. If the Medicine God Alliance joins our Ice Fire Alliance, we only need to refine elixir pills regularly. As for management, the Medicine God Alliance will still be in charge."
Hearing Lu An's words, Sun Zhong's eyes flickered.
"The minimum time for the Medicine God Alliance to join the Ice Fire Alliance is three years." Lu An continued, "When the world is peaceful or three years later, if the Medicine God Alliance wants to leave, the Ice Fire Alliance will not stop you."
