107: Danhui

The emerald light seemed to be the natural bane of snake-type Demonic Beasts; in an instant, countless powerhouses of the Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe knelt down, bowing respectfully to Xiao Lei.

Seeing this, Medusa's beautiful eyes sparkled with various colors, gaining a new understanding of the terrifying power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

A pair of eyes controlling an entire tribe!

At this moment, even Medusa, who possessed the Heaven Swallowing Python Bloodline, couldn't help but wonder if she would be controlled if Xiao Lei used the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils on her.

"Although it's not all the powerhouses of the Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe, it's enough."

Xiao Lei looked at the kneeling crowd with a slight smile, then turned to Qing Lin, "Which one do you want?"

Qing Lin was momentarily stunned by the question but quickly remembered that Xiao Lei had once given her a Mystic Ice Python back in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

With Qing Lin's current Cultivation, she naturally couldn't control the three Dou Saints, Yao Xiaotian and the others; she could only start with a Half-Saint.

Her small hand casually pointed to a Half-Saint.

Seeing this, Xiao Lei immediately released his control over the individual. The latter, who hadn't yet figured out the situation, immediately felt another dizzy spell in his mind before fainting again.

And the controller had now become Qing Lin.

Rubbing Qing Lin's head, Xiao Lei then walked over to Yao Ming, who quickly understood Xiao Lei's intention and took out the Nine Serene Scepter from his stomach.

The next moment, a lot of blood flowed from it, which was precisely the essence blood of the Nine Serene Royal Bloodline.

The Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe needed to consider the continuation of their race and wouldn't use up all this essence blood at once, but Xiao Lei didn't need to consider so much. From the moment he controlled the three Dou Saints, it was destined that the name of the Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe would cease to exist.

All the powerhouses of the Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe would be transformed into Qing Lin's Cultivation.

As for this essence blood, Xiao Lei only kept a small portion, giving the rest to Medusa.

Essence blood could not only purify Bloodline but also be absorbed as energy, which would greatly benefit Medusa.

"Thank you!"

Seeing so much essence blood, a hint of excitement flashed in Medusa's beautiful eyes. With the help of so many miraculous items, it was unimaginable what strength she would possess after coming out of seclusion.

After dealing with the essence blood in the Nine Serene Scepter, Xiao Lei couldn't help but think of the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint contained within the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet.

Besides that, there was also an extremely powerful Soul Dou Technique, Huangquan Heavenly Fury.

However, in the original work, when Xiao Yan entered the stone tablet, he had Late Stage Heavenly Soul Strength yet was still severely injured by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's remnant Soul, while Xiao Lei's current Soul Strength was still at the Early Stage Heavenly level.

"The matter of the Nine Serene Earth Python Tribe has been settled. Qing Lin and Medusa both need to stay here for a long time to Cultivate. I, on the other hand, can go and improve my current Alchemy."

Therefore, Xiao Lei decided to go to the Pill Tower for a "buffet."

That's right, for Xiao Lei, who possessed the ability to replicate, going to the Pill Tower, which had numerous high-level Alchemists, was indeed like a buffet!

He could also take the opportunity to enhance his Soul Power, after all, the Grand Elder of the Small Pill Tower had Late Stage Heavenly Soul Power... Meanwhile, a major event that caused a sensation throughout the entire Central Plains Alchemy world was being vigorously promoted.

The Central Plains Alchemist Convention!

Held every thirty years, it was an excellent opportunity for countless Genius Alchemists of the Central Plains to showcase their talents.

Of course, Xiao Lei wouldn't go play house with these children.

But Xiao Yan was different; he desperately wanted this championship, as it would grant him the qualification to be the first to come into contact with the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Thus, the Master and disciple traveled together to Holy Pill City.

"Master, do you think I can win the championship?"

This was Xiao Yan's first time participating in such a grand event, and he felt a bit uncertain.

Yao Lao stroked his beard, his eyes seemingly filled with emotion, as many memories of his own participation in the Pill Convention resurfaced before him.

"The standard of the Pill Convention champion varies each time. Sometimes a Peak seventh-grade Medicinal Pill might be enough to succeed, while other times, an eighth-grade Medicinal Pill might appear."

"It's worth noting that the Pill Convention champion isn't judged solely on the grade of the Medicinal Pill; the quality of the Medicinal Pill is also considered. If one can refine a Medicinal Pill of ultimate quality, even a seventh-grade might surpass an eighth-grade!"

"There's such a strange thing?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised by this, as other Alchemy competitions usually judged by the grade of the Medicinal Pill.

"Naturally, as the highest organization for Alchemists, the Pill Tower highly encourages in-depth research into Alchemy. Being able to refine Medicinal Pills of ultimate quality is, in the Pill Tower's view, a manifestation of profound dedication to Alchemy."

"However, you don't need to feel too much pressure. You already possess Spirit Realm Soul Power. If you refine an eighth-grade Medicinal Pill then, even if you don't win the championship, you'll still gain the qualification to enter the Star Domain."

Yao Lao was quite confident in Xiao Yan's strength. The latter had recently obtained Xiao Xuan's last Heavenly Flame, and his Cultivation had directly surged to a Five-Star Dou Zong, securing a top ten ranking.

Very easy!

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yao Lao's words.

Just then, a small black beast crawled out of the Void Realm and immediately settled on Xiao Yan's shoulder.

Feeling its appearance, Xiao Yan reached out and rubbed its head, as if comforting a small dog, "Little Black, how do you feel?"

At this time, although Xiao Yan had branded a Soul imprint on this Heavenly Flame, he had not yet used the Burning Technique to devour it.

The reason was simple.

It was because it was too strong!

Xiao Xuan's last Heavenly Flame was none other than the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, ranked sixth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Currently, in terms of energy level alone, it was no less inferior to a One-Star Dou Saint like Yao Lao. How could Xiao Yan devour it?

Under Xiao Xuan's arrangements, it fully cooperated with Xiao Yan's absorption, but if he were to devour the Heavenly Flame to evolve the Burning Technique, the immense Cultivation gap could directly kill Xiao Yan.

Aside from Xiao Yan, a middle-aged man who had traveled across the Central Plains for several years, exchanging Alchemy knowledge everywhere, was also heading towards this Holy Land in his heart.

As for Xiao Lei, after disguising himself, he had already arrived at the Pill Tower.

In the magnificent hall, Xiao Lei was happily conversing with the three Great Masters.

"I am aware of Master Chen's proposal, but the Pill Tower is not a one-man show for the three of us. This matter still needs to be voted on by all the Elders in the Elder Council. If Master Chen doesn't mind, he can stay in Holy Pill City for a few days."

"It just so happens that the Pill Convention is starting, which can also be considered a pleasant event. Watching the Juniors of the Alchemy world refine Medicinal Pills is also interesting, isn't it?"

Xuan Kongzi's attitude was excellent, mainly because he couldn't discern Xiao Lei's Cultivation.

Xiao Lei introduced himself as Chen He, presented many high-grade Pill Formulas, and proposed a trade with the Pill Tower. In return, the Pill Tower would allow Xiao Lei to peruse its ancient texts and Pill Formulas.

Such a matter naturally delighted the three Great Masters, as they could learn other Pill Formulas.

Just then, a figure also arrived at the deliberation hall, grumbling, "Xuan Kongzi, are you really not going to help with this matter!"

Hearing this voice, Xuan Kongzi, who had been chatting happily with Xiao Lei, suddenly turned cold, clearly not welcoming the newcomer... The old man walked to the center of the hall, looking Xuan Kongzi in the eye without a care.

Xiao Lei's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the newcomer. A few days ago, Venerable Skyfire had already found a way to contact him, informing him that a Half-Saint powerhouse was coming with ill intentions.

"That Xiao Lei is also an Alchemist, and it's highly likely he'll participate in such a big event as the Pill Convention. I'm just asking your Pill Tower to provide a little information!"

Before the old man finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi immediately slammed the table and stood up, "The original intention of the Pill Tower's establishment was to protect all Alchemists under heaven. Now your ancient tribe wants my Pill Tower to betray an Alchemist!"

"Even if it's just providing information, absolutely not!"

Hearing this, the old man was also displeased. Imperial clans were accustomed to being arrogant in the Central Plains. Out of deference to the Pill Tower's power, he had settled for a secondary request, merely asking Xuan Kongzi to help provide some information.

Who would have thought that Xuan Kongzi wouldn't agree either?

Immediately, a subtle aura surged from the old man, clearly reaching the Half-Saint level.

However, Xuan Kongzi also did not give way in the slightest, releasing his own aura.

Xiao Lei quietly watched this good show from the side.

"Fine! Xuan Kongzi! You've got guts! Hmph!"

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the old man immediately flicked his sleeves and left!

...
