Chapter 338: Generous Help
"Celestial Alliance... the name sounds quite imposing," Su Qian said, smiling. "I can't let just the name be imposing, so I'll do this: I'll give you the entire Dark Institute!"
"What?"
The Great Elder's words not only surprised Xiao Ze but also made Xiao Yi Xian and the others exclaim in astonishment.
The Dark Institute, in its current position in the Black-Corner Territory, could stand at the top even without the help of Jia Nan Academy.
The Great Elder was generous enough to assign the entire Dark Institute to Xiao Ze's Celestial Alliance.
"Great Elder, are you joking?" Xiao Ze couldn't help but ask.
"Hahaha, of course not, I have my own reasons."
The Great Elder laughed and said, "After the invasion of the Dark Alliance and the Misty Cloud Sect, the forces that can stand out in the Black-Corner Territory are few."
"Even if we add the hidden forces and they all unite, Jia Nan Academy wouldn't fear them. The academy's safety doesn't depend on the Dark Institute."
"As for protecting the students in training, the academy's strength is sufficient, and they no longer dare to provoke the Jia Nan Academy students."
The Great Elder turned to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Xiao Yi Xian, these years have been tough for you."
"I saw the Dark Institute grow to its peak. The Elders sent to manage the institute have adapted well to the academy's environment and are not interested in fights."
"The success of the Dark Institute is largely due to your effort. It wouldn't be appropriate for the academy to take it directly, so it's better for the Dark Institute to follow you and join Xiao Ze's Celestial Alliance."
Xiao Yi Xian smiled, looked at Xiao Ze, and nodded to the Great Elder, "It's what I should do, as I am also an Elder of the inner academy."
"Hahaha, hearing that already satisfies me." Su Qian laughed heartily.
In the room, apart from him, everyone was venerated. His courtesy was due to his position as the Great Elder of Jia Nan Academy.
"That being said, Great Elder, I won't be modest. Thank you very much!" Xiao Ze bowed to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder gestured with his hand as if remembering something, "Right, make the Elders managing the Dark Institute return. It's time to let those elders rest."
"Okay." Xiao Yi Xian laughed softly, "I rarely assign missions to the institute's Elders. Most handle the management, only when the Dark Alliance and the Misty Cloud Sect appeared, the Elders had to work hard."
Xiao Ze didn't expect the Great Elder to be so generous, giving the Dark Institute as the base for his newly formed Celestial Alliance.
The Dark Institute, known externally as the Dark Alliance, is a very feared name in the Black-Corner Territory.
Not only did they destroy the Dark Alliance, which united numerous forces in the Black-Corner Territory, but they also repelled the invasion of the Misty Cloud Sect, which had swept through dozens of empires. Mentioning the name of the Dark Alliance in the Black-Corner Territory evokes respect and fear.
With the Dark Alliance as a base, Xiao Ze's Celestial Alliance is no longer starting from zero.
And with Xiao Yi Xian, newly ascended to Dou Zun, their group has four Dou Zun in total, making them one of the most powerful forces in the northwest.
"Ahem, Xiao Ze, I have a request," said the Great Elder after the conversation, somewhat embarrassed.
"Great Elder, please say it. If it's within my power, Xiao Ze will help." Xiao Ze was confused, the Great Elder, as an elder of the academy, what could he need?
Could it be about the problem of the Flame Heavenly Refining Tower?
That he could solve, he could look for the Fallen Heart Flame in the underground magma world.
Or he could ask Xiao Yan to look for it, with Yao Lao still alive, Xiao Yan could advance quickly in his training.
"It's nothing major, do you have any pills that help Dou Zong in their training?"
The Great Elder looked hopeful.
He was the only one in the room who wasn't a Dou Zun and felt the urgency to improve his strength.
Before, few in the academy were stronger than him, but now, seeing these young people, he felt the great difference.
"I understand, it's a minor matter. I have some pills I refined in my spare time." Xiao Ze took out several bottles from his storage ring and placed them on the table.
The Great Elder held his breath.
The energy emanating from the bottles indicated that the pills were at least level six. And there were two that reached level seven! All were valuable training pills!
"All for me?" The Great Elder couldn't believe it.
"Of course, Great Elder. If you are close to breaking through to Dou Zun, I also have a pill that increases the chances, the Zun Condensation Pill."
The Great Elder shook his head, "I am still far from Dou Zun, but seeing these pills makes me imagine how well you are doing in the Central Region."
"Is this the power of a high-level alchemist? Easily producing pills that many in the Dou Qi continent would fight for."
Xiao Ze smiled, having dedicated much to alchemy.
And with several abundant herb harvests, he often refined pills to not waste the precious materials.
"By the way, you said you have a pill for breaking through to Dou Zun."
The Great Elder came to his senses, intrigued, "Do you have any left?"
"The Zun Condensation Pill is an eighth-level pill with five-colored lightning, I have five left."
The Great Elder was surprised, "You call that 'few'? Five eighth-level pills!"
"In the academy, there are some elders in seclusion trying to break through to Dou Zun. If you trust me, give me two, and I can convince them to join your Celestial Alliance."
"And the Xiao family is also in Jia Nan City, they could take care of it more."
What the Great Elder said made Xiao Ze light up. He was referring to Qian Lao and Bai Lao from the original.
Only Bai Lao could crush the Old Demon of Demon Valley like a child.
With them in the Celestial Alliance, their power would increase significantly.
And more importantly, they would protect the Xiao family.
Xiao Ze knew he couldn't stay long in the northwest, just like Xiao Yi Xian.
They needed reliable Dou Zun to protect the Xiao family, and with the academy and the Great Elder as intermediaries, Qian Lao and Bai Lao would be perfect.
"Of course, I trust you, Great Elder."
Xiao Ze nodded, took out two Zun Condensation Pills, and the Great Elder was amazed.
Even with his experience, he had rarely seen eighth-level pills.
Xiao Ze's Zun Condensation Pills emanated a surprising energy, they were eighth-level pills!
