Chapter 217: Worries and Preparations
Upon arriving at Elder Liu Tian's tower, Xiao Ze noticed that the space around the tower rippled like water. The protection was much stronger than that of his own elder's tower. He remembered the first time he was there when Elder Liu Tian proudly explained that he had built a powerful spatial barrier with the help of several Dou Zun fighters.
The reason behind this strong protection was that Elder Liu Tian cultivated many precious medicinal herbs in his tower. One of them, the Soul Essence Tree, was enough to attract many interested parties. This tree, when mature, produced a drop of soul essence each year. Even without being used in alchemy, consuming it increased soul strength, making many elders of the Alchemy Tower request it each year.
And this was just one of the many precious herbs Elder Liu Tian cultivated. Throughout the Holy Pill City, many elders grew rare herbs in their towers, showcasing the wealth of these high-ranking alchemists.
Xiao Ze sent a wave of energy towards a stone at the entrance, which glowed and displayed the words: "Elder Liu Tian, Xiao Ze requests an audience." Shortly after, the door opened, and a young man dressed in blue appeared.
"Yun Hao greets Elder Xiao Ze. My master is busy refining a pill, please excuse him."
Yun Hao invited Xiao Ze in and served him tea.
"Don't worry, I am the one interrupting. When will Elder Liu Tian finish his alchemy?" Xiao Ze asked, curious, as he rarely saw Elder Liu Tian refining pills.
"The master said he would finish in about seven days. According to my calculations, he should be done today," Yun Hao responded.
"Then I will wait here," Xiao Ze said, taking out a book, the "Bloody Demonic". He immersed himself in his study, while Yun Hao silently observed him with respect and admiration. Although Yun Hao was Elder Liu Tian's disciple, he greatly admired Xiao Ze, whose alchemical skills, despite being younger, far surpassed his own.
Shortly after, Xiao Ze looked up at the stairs of the tower, just as Elder Liu Tian appeared.
"Elder Liu Tian! I apologize for coming unannounced."
"Haha! Xiao Ze, you don't need to be so formal. Tell me, what brings you here? It's rare for you to visit without a reason."
Elder Liu Tian sat down as Yun Hao served tea.
"Today the three presidents called me to discuss some things."
"Oh?" Elder Liu Tian adopted a serious expression, and Yun Hao, although silent, showed signs of nervousness.
"They want me to organize an alchemist conference. I'm not very familiar with this event and wanted to ask for your help," said Xiao Ze.
Elder Liu Tian looked at him in surprise.
"You will organize the alchemist conference?" he repeated, as if to make sure he had heard correctly.
"Is there a problem? President Xuan Yi said that new alchemist masters can also organize it, isn't that right?"
"It seems I was not mistaken. The three presidents have high expectations for you," said Elder Liu Tian. "Although Xuan Yi said so, since they took office, this has never happened. This shows their confidence in you and is also a test."
"The other elders won't be so easy to convince. Many are stubborn and may oppose a newcomer organizing the event. This could cause unrest."
Xiao Ze frowned, realizing this could cause friction with the older elders.
"So, Xiao Ze, you must prepare well. Don't rely solely on the presidents' support. If you don't put in the effort, those elders might give you a hard time," warned Elder Liu Tian. "Even with the presidents' backing, you need to show your skill to earn their respect."
"I understand, Elder Liu Tian," Xiao Ze responded, with a serious expression.
The presidents wanted Xiao Ze to gain prestige with this event, but if he didn't demonstrate enough skill, the elders could dismiss him. He needed to prepare well, not only with his alchemical knowledge but also by exploring unconventional techniques like blood alchemy and beast alchemy.
Xiao Ze was determined to prepare thoroughly for the conference, aware of the great opportunity and responsibility before him.
