Chapter 296: Qing Lin and Medusa Break Through Simultaneously
"Thank you very much, Great Elder, for your great kindness."
Xiao Ze showed gratitude on his face and thanked him with his hands clasped together.
This was not just a promise from the Great Elder of the Pill Tower. With these words from the Great Elder, the other members of the Pill Tower, out of consideration for the Great Elder, would also be willing to teach Xiao Ze.
Those master alchemists who were once famous in Zhongzhou, now peacefully enjoying their old age in the Pill Tower, exchanged and competed in alchemical skills daily. Their experience in alchemy was something Xiao Ze could not really compare with.
After all, the time Xiao Ze had been exposed to alchemy was much shorter compared to them.
To the side, Xuan Kongzi watched enviously, almost unable to contain his jealousy. The treatment Xiao Ze was receiving now was something he had never experienced in his youth. He hadn't even had the chance to consult the Great Elder at any time.
Even the Great Elder's instructions were something Xuan Kongzi had never experienced.
Xuan Kongzi remembered the moment when, recommended by the previous president of the Pill Tower, he met the Great Elder. The Great Elder looked at him once, nodded, and said, "Not bad."
That was a significant moment for Xuan Kongzi joining the Pill Tower. He still remembered it clearly, but it did not compare with the treatment Xiao Ze was receiving now.
Although Xuan Kongzi knew that Xiao Ze's talent would surely impress the Great Elder, he didn't expect him to be so favored.
After giving some additional instructions to Xiao Ze, the Great Elder let the two leave.
When the door closed, in the stone house, the Great Elder, with a deep look, recalled various things about Xiao Ze, and a smile appeared on his aged face.
"Perhaps under your leadership, the Pill Tower could reach even greater splendor. Turning the Pill Conference into the grandest event for alchemists across the continent."
The Great Elder thought silently. At his level of power and status, many things no longer concerned him as much. However, seeing Xiao Ze, the Great Elder had the desire to make the Pill Tower flourish even more.
At his level, he knew of the existence of ancient races. Although the Pill Tower was the main alchemical force on the Dou Qi continent on the surface, the Great Elder knew that one of the ancient races was the true main force in alchemy.
The Yao Clan.
From the activities organized by the Yao Clan, such as the Yao Dian, which determined the best alchemists on the Dou Qi continent, it was clear that the Pill Tower did not compare with the Yao Clan.
But now, with Xiao Ze's appearance, the Great Elder saw a spark of hope. Perhaps in the future, the Pill Tower could also organize the most prestigious conference for alchemists across the continent, inviting the best alchemists. The winner would be recognized as the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi continent.
And the force that decided the best alchemist would naturally be the main force in alchemy.
Thinking of this scene, the Great Elder, who hadn't felt great emotions for a long time, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He had high expectations for Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze stayed on the Pill Tower Mountain for a while, meeting the master alchemists who were friends of Xuan Kongzi. In front of these veterans, Xiao Ze was very humble and polite, which pleased the master alchemists greatly.
Especially when Xuan Kongzi introduced Xiao Ze as a member of the Pill Tower, which surprised them even more. He had even received praise from the Great Elder. This talent made the veterans even more kind to Xiao Ze.
For an alchemist, having true alchemical skills was crucial to being recognized.
Although Xiao Ze didn't plan to stay long on the Pill Tower Mountain, Xuan Kongzi still assigned him a stone house to facilitate future exchanges with the Great Elder and other master alchemists.
Then, Xuan Kongzi took Xiao Ze to the entrance of the Pill Tower Mountain to teach him how to enter the Pill Tower. When the spatial channel distorted, Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Ze, "Have you mastered it?"
Xiao Ze nodded, and with some hand seals, the spatial channel calmed down.
Xuan Kongzi nodded. He was already used to Xiao Ze's talent. According to the Great Elder's report, Xiao Ze not only had outstanding talent in alchemy but also in other aspects. Learning the method of entry and exit was something Xiao Ze grasped immediately.
Xiao Ze reopened the spatial channel to the outside and left the Pill Tower along with the Great Elder.
"Now that you are a member of the Pill Tower, you have also increased your power within the Pill Tower, equivalent to one of the Eight Great Elders..."
Xuan Kongzi explained to Xiao Ze the benefits of being one of the Eight Great Elders. One of these benefits was receiving a large number of precious herbs for alchemy monthly.
For the Eight Great Elders, each of them was a high-level alchemist, and the pills they crafted were extremely valuable. That the Pill Tower provided precious herbs for free was an excellent benefit.
After leaving the great black tower, Xiao Ze did not hesitate and immediately headed to the Hall of Elders to claim his free herbs for that month. After explaining his situation to the Great Elder in charge of the Hall of Elders, he easily obtained permission and went to the herb storage to extract the materials.
Xiao Ze was replenishing herbs, gathering the ingredients needed for the pill recipes he had previously obtained. Although the monthly herb quota was not that high, Xiao Ze was able to gather the ingredients for the Tianling Pill, which he planned to use to increase his power.
According to his estimates, three Tianling Pills of different qualities would be enough to raise his power by two stars. This, at the Dou Zun level, demonstrated how impressive the effect of the Tianling Pill was.
Back in the Tower of Elders, just as Xiao Ze was preparing to refine the Tianling Pill, he suddenly sensed two auras in the tower, which finally broke the last barrier and entered a new realm.
"They've finally broken through!"
Xiao Ze, at the top of the Tower of Elders, said joyfully.
Two vast energies rose to the sky, one jade green and the other multicolored, drawing attention from the entire Inner Domain of the Holy Pill City.
The jade green energy on the left seemed to transform into a demonic eye. The disciples and even the elders of the Pill Tower who saw this eye felt disoriented.
The multicolored energy on the right emitted a powerful magical blood pressure, as if it came from a noble and ancient bloodline, making the onlookers feel oppressed.
Sensing the power emanating from these two energies, Xiao Ze shook his head, "Really restless."
He extended his illusory domain to contain the pressure emitted by the energies, thus avoiding causing a great commotion in the Inner Domain of the Holy Pill City.
