Chapter 199: Alchemy Exchange Conference!
Outside the secret room, Qing Lin lightly bit her lips. Inside the room, that vague sense of mortal danger had already vanished.
Qing Lin glanced at the seven-colored serpent on her wrist, unable to help but think.
Young Master Xiao Ze should be about to come out of seclusion, right?
Just as Qing Lin thought this, the door of the secret room suddenly clicked. Qing Lin raised her head abruptly.
Seeing Xiao Ze's figure, a joyful smile instantly appeared on Qing Lin's face.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, you did it!"
The seven-colored serpent on Qing Lin's wrist, which had shown an air of dignity in its eyes, quickly concealed that look and returned to its puzzled expression upon seeing that Xiao Ze was safe.
The seven-colored serpent saw Xiao Ze's figure and turned into a seven-colored light, wrapping itself around Xiao Ze's wrist. Its small head even affectionately rubbed against the back of Xiao Ze's hand.
"Hahaha, I did it without any hiccups."
Xiao Ze stroked the slightly warm body of the seven-colored serpent, smiling at Qing Lin as he spoke.
However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xiao Ze thought he saw a different color in the eyes of the seven-colored serpent.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, during your seclusion, several elders from the Dan Tower came to visit you, but I told them you were in the midst of an important breakthrough."
Qing Lin briefly explained what had happened during Xiao Ze's seclusion.
"These are the names of the elders who came to visit you."
"Good, I'll find time to visit them later." Xiao Ze smiled as he received the list. Now that he was also an elder of the Dan Tower, he couldn't be too special.
Moreover, interacting with the elders of the Dan Tower had many advantages. They were experienced alchemists with a vast collection of pill recipes. Xiao Ze could communicate with them and even exchange recipes.
Xiao Ze glanced at the list. The information was detailed, clearly well organized.
"Qing Lin, now you're not just my personal servant, but also my little manager, capable of handling many things perfectly."
Xiao Ze looked at Qing Lin. Due to her mixed lineage of humans and serpents, Qing Lin already had a charming figure, like a flower about to bloom, radiating youth.
"Really?" Upon hearing Xiao Ze's praise, Qing Lin responded surprised, "I was worried that I hadn't done well and had caused trouble for Young Master Xiao Ze."
Relieved, Qing Lin took a deep breath, feeling happy to be able to help Young Master Xiao Ze.
At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.
"It seems another elder has come to visit you. Now that you've come out of seclusion, it's a good opportunity to properly receive them."
Xiao Ze straightened his clothes and opened the door to see a familiar figure, smiling at him.
"Elder Liu Tian, what brings you here today?"
Xiao Ze showed a surprised expression upon seeing that the visitor was none other than one of the eight great elders, Elder Liu Tian. He quickly invited him in and served tea.
"Hahaha, arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time. Xiao Ze, you've come out of seclusion. I heard those elders who came to visit you all left disappointed."
Elder Liu Tian laughed heartily, pleased to have arrived just as Xiao Ze emerged from seclusion.
"It was a significant breakthrough, so I couldn't receive the elders."
"Don't worry, those old folks just wanted to get close to you after seeing that you can refine high-level seventh-grade pills."
Elder Liu Tian took a sip of tea and, smiling, said, "This time, I've come to invite you to an alchemy exchange conference."
"Alchemy exchange conference?" Xiao Ze repeated, surprised by the term.
"That's right. The leaders of the Dan Tower don't want the elders to seclude themselves, so they occasionally organize alchemy exchange conferences to share their knowledge."
Elder Liu Tian spoke seriously, "In these conferences, the Dan Tower leaders will also share their experiences in alchemy."
"This is very valuable. Each Dan Tower leader is a top-level alchemist. You can't miss this."
Upon hearing Elder Liu Tian's words, Xiao Ze paid attention.
"I'm looking forward to attending. Is there any requirement to participate?"
"Of course, you must be a Dan Tower elder..."
Elder Liu Tian explained the alchemy exchange conference in detail before bidding farewell.
"Elder Liu Tian has been very kind to personally invite me to the conference."
Xiao Ze murmured to himself, aware that it was due to his talent.
As Elder Liu Tian had said, the elders who visited him wanted to meet him because of his ability to refine high-level pills.
"The conference is in three days. I'll use this time to practice alchemy and test the power of the Emperor of Flames."
Back in the room, Xiao Ze saw that Qing Lin had already finished cleaning.
"Qing Lin, would you like to accompany me to the alchemy exchange conference in three days? Each elder can bring one disciple. I'm still not familiar with the Dan Tower, so I'll take you with me."
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin showed a happy expression, but quickly bit her lips and said:
"But I know nothing about alchemy. Wouldn't I cause trouble for Young Master Xiao Ze?"
"It doesn't matter. It's a conference for elders, not a competition among disciples." Xiao Ze responded without concern.
Some elders without disciples brought young people from their families, so there were no restrictions in that regard.
"Besides, even if you don't know alchemy, you can listen and learn."
After saying this, Xiao Ze went up to the top of the tower. "Get ready well in these three days."
"Yes, Young Master Xiao Ze!" Qing Lin responded cheerfully, moving with more energy.
On top of the tower, Xiao Ze took out the Yunling Cauldron, thinking, "Three days aren't enough to refine high-level pills, so I'll make some simpler ones."
Xiao Ze made the Emperor of Flames appear in his palm, and the space around him slightly distorted, containing a destructive power.
When the Emperor of Flames appeared in the Yunling Cauldron, it instantly heated up.
Xiao Ze placed his hand on the cauldron, feeling the heat.
"Although the Yunling Cauldron can compare to the best cauldrons in the rankings, it can't completely isolate the heat of the Emperor of Flames."
With a thought, a flower with strange patterns flew towards the Yunling Cauldron.
Under the control of his spiritual sense, the Emperor of Flames instantly burned away the impurities, leaving only pure liquid behind.
"Incredible! Before, it would take me at least five minutes to process this herb. Now I can do it instantly."
Xiao Ze showed a joyful expression. This is the power of the Emperor of Flames, number one on the flames list. Not only did it increase efficiency in pill refinement, but the purity of the resulting liquid was also much higher!
No wonder so many alchemists pursue these flames. But now, Xiao Ze held the number one flame in his hands: the Emperor of Flames!
