Chapter 226: Entering the World of Alchemy! The Medicine Pool of the Alchemy Tower
On the way back, Qinglin was happily bouncing around Xiao Ze. Though she didn't fully understand alchemy, she could comprehend the words of the three presidents.
Xiao Ze had achieved an unprecedented feat, enough to change the structure of the alchemy world. Qinglin was genuinely happy for Xiao Ze's accomplishments.
Seeing Qinglin's joy, Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile.
"Are you that happy?"
"Of course! Xiao Ze is so incredible that even the presidents of the Alchemy Tower are impressed by his achievements."
Qinglin stopped, tightly gripping Xiao Ze's right hand.
"Xiao Ze, thank you for making me your exclusive servant. You've changed my life."
Qinglin, with blushing cheeks, showed a charming and seductive smile that made hearts race due to her snake blood.
Xiao Ze raised his left hand and placed it on Qinglin's head.
"Don't underestimate yourself; you have extraordinary talent. Believe in yourself and that you can reach the top of the continent."
Qinglin looked up to meet Xiao Ze's eyes, trying to understand the meaning behind them.
"My goal is also the top of the continent. You must strive to stay by my side. After all, you are my exclusive servant."
Qinglin smiled happily and nodded vigorously.
The little colorful snake coiled around Xiao Ze's wrist flicked its tongue, looking half puzzled and half clear.
Back at the Elder's Tower, Xiao Ze immersed himself again in his training and alchemy.
Not long after the alchemists' meeting, Xiao Ze received a message from Elder Liu Tian.
"Can we finally enter the World of Alchemy? I've been waiting for this a long time. The energy in the World of Alchemy is wild, and the magical beasts are more powerful."
"Qinglin, this time you're coming with me to the World of Alchemy. Let's look for some strong snake magical beasts for you."
Both headed to Liu Tian's Elder Tower, then proceeded to the entrance to the World of Alchemy.
They arrived at a rather hidden black stone tower. Liu Tian took out a black plaque and channeled his combat energy to activate its power.
The light of the combat energy illuminated the tower's door, which slowly opened.
"This is the normal way to enter the World of Alchemy. For events like the alchemists' conference, a special space crack opens, and the entry is random."
Liu Tian explained to Xiao Ze, "The energy in the World of Alchemy is very violent, not suitable for human life, so the Alchemy Tower created a refuge there."
"This time, our guard duty won't be short, so you'll have plenty of time to explore. If you're lucky, you might find rare medicinal herbs."
"Thank you, Elder Liu Tian, for clearing my doubts."
With a spatial wave, they opened their eyes in a predominantly black structure, but they weren't in the black stone tower.
"This is the refuge created by the Alchemy Tower. The elders who were here have already left; those old folks left quickly."
Liu Tian said without humor, checking the records left by previous elders.
"Hmm... There's really not much."
Liu Tian looked at Xiao Ze, "There are very powerful magical beasts in the World of Alchemy. You must be careful."
"Oh, here's a map of the World of Alchemy."
Liu Tian gave Xiao Ze a detailed map of the place, "If you're interested, you can visit the old site of the Alchemy Tower, where there's a medicine pool."
"A medicine pool?" Xiao Ze asked, intrigued.
"Yes, it's the place where alchemists destroyed their failed alchemies. Over the years, the accumulation of failed medicines has created a very powerful mix of medicinal properties."
"It's worth seeing to expand your knowledge. It's one of the rare sights of the World of Alchemy," Liu Tian said smiling, as Xiao Ze showed interest in the powerful energy.
"From what you've told me, I'm interested in the medicine pool... What if I accidentally destroy it?"
"Huh?" Liu Tian was puzzled, then laughed, "Xiao Ze, the energy in the pool is immense. Don't underestimate its power; it could harm you."
"But if you really want to, it doesn't matter if you destroy it. It's just a relic of the past."
"Understood."
Shortly after, Xiao Ze and Qinglin left the refuge.
Liu Tian observed that Qinglin didn't seem affected, squinting.
"Xiao Ze's servant is not ordinary; she has some special talent..."
In the World of Alchemy, Xiao Ze and Qinglin quickly advanced according to the map, soon reaching a magical beasts' lair.
"There are many snake magical beasts here..."
With a thought, Xiao Ze covered the entire lair with dark blue energy, powerful and oppressive.
All the beasts were subdued by the pressure.
"With my current strength, just using the power of the ocean, I can easily subdue these beasts."
"Qinglin, choose which ones you can tame."
"Understood, master," Qinglin, with emerald green eyes, easily dominated the snake beasts without resistance.
Qinglin's mastery over her ocular ability was perfect.
Xiao Ze, satisfied, nodded seeing Qinglin.
Thus, Xiao Ze and Qinglin continued taming magical beasts while heading to the old site of the Alchemy Tower.
In half a day, they arrived at some ruins.
Xiao Ze extended his spiritual perception over the ruins, quickly finding a large damaged hall where the medicine pool was located.
With the key given by Liu Tian, Xiao Ze opened the spatial barrier. An intense medicinal aroma invaded him, forcing him to cover his nose while Qinglin frowned.
Though she liked Xiao Ze's medicinal scent, this was too much.
But the energy it contained was astonishing.
'Maybe I can use this energy to expand the diameter of the Origin Tree.'
Xiao Ze, with golden roots, was very interested in this powerful energy.
Others feared it would overload them; Xiao Ze feared it wouldn't be enough.
"Qinglin, can you withstand the environment inside?"
"No, the energy is too violent and powerful for me."
"Then find a safe place to train. If there's danger, use the spiritual mark I left you."
With those instructions, Xiao Ze entered the spatial vortex.
