Chapter 220: The Three Skills of Alchemy
At the Dan residence.
The Dan family has an elder's position in the Dan Tower, so naturally, they can get a residence in the inner city of Dan.
The elders of the Dan Tower can freely choose their residence in the city. For example, Xiao Ze chose the elder's tower.
The elders of the Dan family, due to their family, usually choose a larger and more suitable residence for living in a group.
Dan Xuan entered with an invitation in hand and a frown on his face.
"Cousin?" asked Dan Chen, seeing Dan Xuan's expression, a little confused.
"See for yourself," said Dan Xuan, handing over the invitation.
After reading it, Dan Chen showed a smile on her face. "It's an invitation to the alchemist conference organized by Xiao Ze!"
"Don't get excited too soon. Although I don't know why Xiao Ze can organize the alchemist conference, it's usually organized by the three presidents."
"That Xiao Ze, a newly promoted master alchemist, is the organizer, probably won't please many of the old master alchemists."
After hearing Dan Xuan's explanation, Dan Chen understood. "Do you mean Xiao Ze might be troubled by the other elders?"
Seeing Dan Xuan nod, Dan Chen showed a worried expression.
Since her trip to Yin Gu, Dan Chen had developed a great appreciation for Xiao Ze, and even still had the fire mark that Xiao Ze had left her.
"Then, what should we do? Can we ask aunt for help...?"
Dan Chen said nervously. The elder of the Dan family was her aunt.
Dan Xuan shook his head. His cousin had extraordinary talent for alchemy, but didn't understand much about human relations.
"The invitation was sent by Elder Liu Tian, so this is already decided. It can't be changed. We can only rely on Xiao Ze to handle those old master alchemists."
"If you're really worried, come with me to the alchemist conference."
Seeing that Dan Chen was still worried, Dan Xuan couldn't help but suggest it.
Dan Chen quickly nodded, making Dan Xuan laugh. His cousin, who was always focused on alchemy, was now worried about someone else.
Dan Xuan didn't see it as a bad thing. After all, the talent and potential Xiao Ze had shown made him think of bringing them together.
Besides, it seemed that Xiao Ze didn't have anyone special around him, except for the little servant girl who always accompanied him.
On the other side, at the Cao family residence, Cao Ying came out of her room, stretching her muscles with grace and charm, with a movement that could fascinate any man.
Cao Ying smiled as she noticed that today, that annoying Song Qing hadn't come to bother her.
Suddenly, she saw Cao Xiu with an invitation in his hand.
"Brother Cao Xiu, another alchemist conference? Is it organized by my master?"
Cao Xiu, upon hearing her, quickly approached.
Cao Ying, with her talent and being Xuan Kong Zi's disciple, had a high position in the Cao family, so even he had to treat her with care.
"No, this time it's organized by the new master alchemist, Xiao Ze."
Cao Xiu handed over the invitation, and Cao Ying's smile froze. She took the invitation and, after checking it, frowned, deep in thought.
"Do you know why? Why is Xiao Ze organizing it this time?"
"I don't fully understand, but according to what the master said, it probably has the support of at least one president."
Cao Ying, worried, said, "Even with the support of a president, his current level of alchemy might not be enough to convince everyone."
"Maybe, but with Xiao Ze's talent, he might surprise us."
Cao Ying bit her lip, recalling her interactions with Xiao Ze. He didn't seem like someone reckless, so he must have something in mind.
"Could it be my master's idea?"
Cao Ying pondered, still doubtful, as she paced around her room. "Should I ask my master about this? It seems like my master thinks highly of Xiao Ze, he wouldn't harm him, right?"
Suddenly, Cao Ying stopped, surprised by her own thoughts. "Why do I care so much?"
"Yes, I am too worried about him..."
Cao Ying reflected on the few times she had seen Xiao Ze, which were rare.
Most of the time she had heard about his talent or seen him from afar accomplishing feats.
But she couldn't deny that Xiao Ze had left a deep impression on her.
Since she heard that Xiao Ze became the youngest elder of the Dan Tower, she had felt a mix of challenge and admiration.
She, who had always grown up under the aura of being a genius, naturally wanted to compete with him.
Until recently, Xiao Ze became a master alchemist, creating an insurmountable gap that transformed her challenge into respect.
"Well, I'll stop thinking and ask my master directly."
Cao Ying left, heading to the black tower.
In the elder's tower.
Xiao Ze showed an expression of surprise. Perhaps due to the pressure of the alchemy conference, he had reorganized his skills, obtaining surprising results.
Xiao Ze had prepared three skills for the conference.
The first was unconventional alchemy, represented by blood alchemy.
The second was magical beast alchemy, with the "Hun Yuan Pill" as an example.
The third was a summary of his own alchemy.
Xiao Ze had begun his learning with Xiao Yan's alchemy, then practiced hard on his own, experimenting with various techniques.
Thanks to the system's feedback, his knowledge was vast and complete.
Gradually, his alchemy became a blend of various techniques, without being limited to one school.
"After this reorganization, it seems I have the ability to unify everything..."
If other alchemists heard him, they would surely call him arrogant. Alchemy is vast, and no one would dare say they master all techniques.
However, Xiao Ze, under the influence of multiple factors, really seemed to have that possibility. At least, he had managed to unify from level one to advanced level seven.
Although he hadn't reached the eighth and ninth levels, it was a considerable achievement.
This meant that from now on, alchemists on the continent could be systematically trained, without relying on individual master-to-student teaching.
"I can imagine the controversy this will cause."
Xiao Ze, excited, thought that now, being a master alchemist, he had the ability to establish his own school. Why not be bold and found a universal school on the continent?

Chapter 221: Everyone with Their Own Thoughts
In a secret room, Xiao Ze absorbed the energy from his surroundings. The aura emanating from his body was vast and heavy. Anyone facing him would feel as if they were in front of a vast ocean rather than a human cultivator.
"Ah, after organizing my alchemy techniques, I feel relaxed and have achieved a breakthrough effortlessly," said Xiao Ze. "I have reached the end of the Dou Zong path. Now I must prepare to surpass the Dou Zong and become a Venerable."
Feeling the vast energy within him, Xiao Ze showed an expression of satisfaction.
Suddenly, there were knocks on the secret room's door. From outside, Qing Lin's soft voice was heard, "Young master Xiao Ze, today is the day of the alchemists' exchange, you asked me to remind you..."
Before Qing Lin could finish speaking, the door had already opened.
Having just finished his cultivation, Xiao Ze's eyes still had a faint seven-colored glow, leaving Qing Lin momentarily mesmerized.
"Thank you, Qing Lin," said Xiao Ze, patting Qing Lin's head. "You are my most considerate maid. I don't know how I would manage without you."
Qing Lin's face quickly turned red, "Young master Xiao Ze, don't say such embarrassing things. I have already prepared the clothes you will need today."
With Qing Lin's help, Xiao Ze put on a long white robe decorated with clouds and golden edges.
Qing Lin watched him, noticing how his elegant demeanor and the mysterious glow in his eyes made him even more impressive. Unknowingly, she became absorbed in looking at him. Xiao Ze, noticing this, smiled and gently pinched her cheeks, "What are you thinking about, little one?"
The blush on Qing Lin's face deepened, turning red up to her ears. ... In the great hall of the black tower where the alchemists' exchange was held, the alchemists sat alone or conversed in groups, creating a rare lively atmosphere.
Elder Liu Tian looked from above and smiled. Normally, those who did not attend the exchange had come this time. Clearly, they were very interested in the event organized by Xiao Ze. It was not known if they came to congratulate or to cause trouble.
Each elder present brought one or two disciples or young members of their family. This, along with the presence of the usual absentees, made this year's exchange much more crowded than previous ones.
Liu Tian knew that few really came to share alchemical knowledge.
The elder looked far at his disciple Song Qing, who was conversing with Cao Ying.
The elder shook his head. Although Song Qing was very enthusiastic, seeing Cao Ying's indifferent response, it seemed that his disciple did not have much chance.
Cao Ying looked around the hall, not seeing Xiao Ze. Moreover, Song Qing's constant chatter annoyed her a bit, so she only responded intermittently.
Song Qing, noticing the situation, felt jealous. Although Cao Ying was not necessarily thinking about Xiao Ze, Song Qing was already convinced of it.
Dan Chen gently caressed the fire mark on her hand while following her cousin Dan Xuan. From time to time, she looked around the hall, searching for a familiar figure, and bit her lips upon not finding him.
Suddenly, Dan Chen noticed the entrance of an elder. Although his face was unfamiliar, the powerful energy emanating from his body indicated that he was a master alchemist.
The elder's arrival also attracted the attention of other alchemists in the hall.
"Isn't that elder Ling Yun? He has always been so solitary and now he comes to the alchemists' exchange!"
"It must be because of the specialty of this event."
"Yes, it seems he comes to test Xiao Ze."
Some alchemists whispered, guessing Ling Yun's purpose.
Without paying attention to the looks, Ling Yun leaned on his staff and slowly sat in the seats reserved for the eight great elders. With a piercing voice, he asked:
"Where is Xiao Ze? He just became a master alchemist and already thinks he is superior, is he going to make us wait?"
Although his voice was not loud, it resonated throughout the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
If someone had doubts about Ling Yun's purpose, now it was clear: he came to test Xiao Ze.
Some elders, friends of Xiao Ze, hesitated, but Liu Tian, standing on the stage, smiled and said:
"Ling Yun, I think you are old and your memory fails. We haven't started yet."
Ling Yun, annoyed by Liu Tian's comment, replied:
"Hmph, as the organizer, he should arrive early so we can meet the new master alchemist."
"Hahaha, I think you should discuss this with the presidents," Liu Tian responded bluntly, as in every alchemists' exchange, the presidents were always the last to arrive.
Liu Tian's words left Ling Yun speechless, gripping his staff tightly.
"Hahaha, we are all elders of the Alchemy Tower, there is no need to be so hostile," said an elderly voice suddenly, surprising everyone. Respectfully, they greeted Xuan Kongzi, who had appeared on the stage.
Cao Ying showed an expression of joy, "Master!"
With the appearance of Xuan Kongzi, the other presidents, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei, also made their entrance.
Even the eight great elders showed surprise. All the presidents had come to support Xiao Ze.
Seeing this, the elders began to take the event more seriously.
Finally, Xiao Ze arrived, hearing Ling Yun's challenge from afar, although he did not expect the presence of the three presidents.
