Chapter 298: The Eight-Colored Alchemical Lightning, Refining the Body
In the inner area of the Holy Pill City, a cloud of five-colored alchemical lightning appeared, catching the eyes of countless people.
Seeing that it came from the well-known high tower, they simply sighed and went on with their business.
If, in the past, multi-colored alchemical lightning clouds were rare in the inner area of the Holy Pill City, ever since Xiao Ze became an Alchemy Master, multi-colored alchemical lightning had become common whenever Xiao Ze was in the elders' tower.
Not only had those strong allies of the Pill Tower gained knowledge, but even the disciples and elders who had been in the Pill Tower for years had learned a lot.
After all, with the frequency of these alchemical lightning occurrences, they had become routine.
At the top of the elders' tower, Xiao Ze's body was surrounded by lightning. The powerful bolts struck his skin without causing any harm.
"Now, my body can't be damaged by five-colored alchemical lightning. The body refining effect has disappeared..."
Xiao Ze shook his head with some disappointment. "But at least the energy contained in the five-colored alchemical lightning can still be absorbed, so nothing is wasted."
Feeling that the Origin Tree had grown a bit taller, a smile appeared on Xiao Ze's face, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Alchemical lightning is wonderful!"
"I've completed the Tian Ling Pill using five-colored alchemical lightning. The next step is eight-colored alchemical lightning... I've never made a pill of this level before, so I don't know if I can do it on the first try."
"If I could make this in the grand alchemy hall, the success rate would be higher..."
Xiao Ze recalled the grand alchemy hall exclusive to Xuan Kongzi, with a look of longing in his eyes.
"Making an eighth-level pill with eight-colored alchemical lightning is one difficulty, and the eight-colored alchemical lightning itself is another difficulty... I don't know if the Origin Tree can withstand it."
"If it can, my body will be strengthened again, the eight-colored alchemical lightning refining the body..."
Thinking about this, Xiao Ze felt a tingling all over his body, as if he was already anticipating the effects of the eight-colored alchemical lightning refining his body.
"Young master Xiao Ze, here are the business cards of all those who visited during your pill-making."
Qing Lin approached, holding a list and sighing. "Lately, I don't know why, but the visits are constant."
Xiao Ze took the list and glanced at it. Those visitors didn't come empty-handed; they brought various precious herbs.
But without Xiao Ze's approval, Qing Lin didn't accept them, only recorded them.
"What is the strength of those visitors?" Xiao Ze asked thoughtfully.
Qing Lin recalled for a moment. "Most are at the Dou Zong level, only two are at the Dou Zun level, and one of them even made me feel some pressure."
"Most are at the Dou Zong level, could they have been attracted by the commotion of the breakthroughs? Is there any rumor in the tower?"
"Yes, the tension between the Pill Tower and the Hall of Souls is increasing, and the Dou Zun Condensing Pill you made is highly sought after."
Qing Lin summarized the major events and matters related to Xiao Ze.
"So, what they seek is the Dou Zun Condensing Pill." Xiao Ze confirmed, looking at Qing Lin with a smile.
"You, girl, now you have intelligence-gathering skills too."
"Hehe~ Young master Xiao Ze, whatever you need me to do, I will learn." Qing Lin showed a proud expression at being praised.
"By the way, young master, what do we do with those visitors?"
"For now, don't attend to them, I haven't finished making my own pills yet, and I don't have time to make them for others. Besides, I'll soon retreat for training..."
"So, do I reject them all?"
"Almost, but do it kindly... By the way, those two visitors at the Dou Zun level, did they mention anything important?"
Qing Lin shook her head. "They didn't mention anything important, I told them you were making pills and they said they would come back later."
"In that case, it shouldn't be urgent." Xiao Ze reassured Qing Lin.
If it were urgent, they surely would have left a message.
After finishing the pill-making, Xiao Ze refocused on alchemy...
After a while, Xuan Kongzi put away a scroll, suddenly feeling the world's energy outside unusually agitated, which puzzled him.
"Is it a fluctuation of high-quality alchemical lightning?"
Xuan Kongzi, with a heart full of doubts, approached the window and looked outside. As expected, lightning clouds were forming under the influence of alchemical qi.
The other two presidents also felt the fluctuation of the alchemical lightning and joined Xuan Kongzi.
"It's Xiao Ze again." Xuan Yi looked at the birthplace of the alchemical qi, which was none other than Xiao Ze's elders' tower.
"This kind of fluctuation, it must be at least eight-colored alchemical lightning." Tian Leizi affirmed.
With their experience, although the lightning clouds had not yet fully formed, they could judge by the alchemical qi.
"Xiao Ze's progress speed is truly astonishing. Although I knew that once he joined the Pill Tower, he wouldn't take long to make eight and nine-colored pills, I didn't expect it to be this fast!"
Xuan Kongzi commented with admiration.
"It's time to intervene, Xiao Ze still doesn't have the strength to resist eight-colored alchemical lightning." Xuan Yi said with some concern.
"I don't think so, Xiao Ze is prudent, he wouldn't do something so reckless. If he hasn't asked for help, he must be prepared."
Tian Leizi trusted Xiao Ze.
Xuan Kongzi pondered and proposed a middle ground.
"Xiao Ze must be prepared, but he hasn't experienced the power of eight-colored alchemical lightning, so his preparation might not be enough. Let's watch and help if necessary."
The other two presidents nodded.
The elders and disciples in the inner area of the Holy Pill City originally planned to pay no attention when they saw it was Xiao Ze causing the alchemical lightning.
But when the lightning actually formed, they realized their mistake.
Because this time, the alchemical lightning was eight-colored alchemical lightning, extremely rare even in the Holy Pill City!
"Oh my god, Elder Xiao Ze can already make eighth-level pills with eight-colored alchemical lightning!"
This was the common thought that arose in everyone's hearts. With a thunderous noise, an eight-colored lightning bolt descended from the sky with majestic power.
A protective barrier appeared around the elders' tower, weakening part of the lightning's power.
Xiao Ze used various methods to weaken it further, finally using the roots of the Origin Tree to devour it.
"Whew! What powerful alchemical lightning, with each color added to the eighth-level lightning, its power increases significantly."
Xiao Ze absorbed the energy from the alchemical lightning, a smile of satisfaction on his face, while his body experienced a tingling sensation under the refining of the lightning.
