In the Pill Alliance, each of the thirty-two hall masters must take on a direct disciple to serve as their successor and the inheritor of the hall.
The status of being a hall master's direct disciple not only represents honor but also carries responsibility. As the direct disciple of a hall master, one must not lose to any of the other thirty-two successors.
The Thirty-two halls all pledge loyalty to the eight great Elders of the Pill Alliance, each Elder backed by four hall masters.
The eight Elders do not get along as there are many conflicts regarding power and interests. Although they form the core of power in the Pill Alliance, there are countless fights in the shadows among them.
The stance of the thirty-two halls naturally follows their respective Elder's perspective, resulting in varying relationships.
The upcoming Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area is a competition among the successors of the thirty-two halls. The stronger one is, the more they stand to gain.
