Chapter 294: Entering the Little Pill Tower!
"Originally, it was like this. Eighth-grade pill formulas are truly marvelous. If eighth-grade formulas are already so extraordinary, ninth-grade ones must be comparable to celestial-level combat techniques. I wonder how mysterious they will be..."
Xiao Ze put away a silver formula, having fully understood it. From the eighth grade onward, it became more dependent on formulas, as creating an eighth-grade pill by himself was impossible.
"The formulas from the ancient ruins, although not reaching the eighth grade, also have aspects that can be utilized."
Xiao Ze stretched, feeling that his pill refining technique had improved a bit more. After the advice from the three presidents, Xiao Ze no longer aspired to incorporate eighth and ninth-grade pills into his grand unified technique.
Now he only focused on collecting formulas from the first to seventh grade, gradually improving them. When the time was right, he would implement his unified refining technique.
At the same time, he did not neglect the Jiu Dan Hunyuan technique, planning to modify the formula at some point. Once he adapted it to perfectly fit the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, he could start refining the exclusive version of the Jiu Dan Hunyuan for the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
The Jiu Dan Hunyuan was extremely specialized, to the point that it could only be consumed by the one who provided the blood. Therefore, it was not possible to simply change the blood to refine a new pill; other rare ingredients were also required.
Xiao Ze now had a Jiu Dan Hunyuan very suitable for the ancient Taixu Ancient Dragon tribe. Many of the ingredients used had spatial properties. But the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was different; it needed fire-natured ingredients.
He had also found a clue on how to modify the ninth pill of the Jiu Dan Hunyuan. He planned to take the pill left by Zhuyang and refine it, hoping it would reach the quality of an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning.
Thinking about this, Xiao Ze became serious. With his current soul strength, he could refine an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning, but facing those lightning bolts would be a challenge.
Xiao Ze looked at the situation of Medusa and Qinglin, both still had not completed their breakthrough. He stood up and left the elders' tower, while checking the situation of his bonds, noting that most updates came from Xiao Yan's pill refining technique.
Lately, Xiao Yan seemed to focus on refining pills that enhanced strength and healed wounds. Xiao Ze didn't think much of it, assuming Xiao Yan made them for the Xiao family, as he hadn't provoked the Yunlan Sect.
"Now that I think about it, I haven't returned to the northwest continent in a long time. Later, I might ask someone to investigate the situation there," thought Xiao Ze.
As an elder of the Pill Tower, his connections had grown, and any task he needed to do, he only had to mention it, and someone would do it for him. Moreover, he had access to the power of the Pill Tower, which extended not only in the central continent but also in the northwest.
Many alchemists from all over the continent who made a name in the Pill Tower often benefited their home regions, like when Xiao Ze obtained the recommendation from Jia Nan Academy. These connections were a hidden strength of the Pill Tower.
At the entrance of the grand black tower, Xiao Ze met the Great Elder. After this adventure together, their relationship had improved significantly. The Great Elder, seeing Xiao Ze, smiled and nodded.
Xiao Ze also noticed that the Great Elder seemed to be better, overcoming Song Qing's death.
Inside the grand hall, Xuan Kongzi had announced the rewards for the Great Elder and now focused on Xiao Ze.
"Xiao Ze, according to what the Great Elder said, your merits in this mission were enormous. I am willing to recommend you to join the Little Pill Tower."
"The Little Pill Tower is the true core of our Tower. To enter, you must be able to refine an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning."
"However, the elders there have a very high position, even I must bow to them, and they will decide if you can enter."
"If you can refine an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning, you will be able to join the Little Pill Tower directly. After that, I will grant you an additional reward."
After speaking, Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Ze, waiting for his decision.
Xiao Ze frowned slightly. If he was directly recommended by Xuan Kongzi, he might not pass the council of elders' vote. But if he could refine an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning, he would be recommended by Xuan Kongzi and could join the Little Pill Tower directly, besides receiving an additional reward.
"I want to try refining an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning."
"Haha, excellent! You have courage!" Xuan Kongzi laughed. "In that case, refine it here in the grand tower."
Under Xuan Kongzi's guidance, Xiao Ze arrived at Xuan Kongzi's alchemy hall, with the Great Elder watching Xiao Ze with envy.
The alchemy hall had great benefits for alchemists, and Xuan Kongzi was willing to let Xiao Ze refine there.
Xiao Ze observed the alchemy hall, feeling its difference. There was a spiritual energy that helped calm the mind, improving the success rate in alchemy.
When Xiao Ze sat on the jade platform, he felt a coolness that ran from his coccyx to his crown, stabilizing his mind and spirit, which improved the success rate in alchemy. It was comparable to a seventh-grade auxiliary pill, the Su Xin pill, but permanent.
This alchemy hall was like a permanent Su Xin pill. No wonder the Great Elder showed that expression when he saw Xiao Ze refining there.
Xiao Ze marveled, admiring the deep heritage of the great force. Only the alchemy hall showed its wealth and depth.
Seeing Xiao Ze enter the alchemy state, Xuan Kongzi and the Great Elder withdrew, leaving him alone.
Xiao Ze had obtained many formulas, and one of them was an eighth-grade pill with seven-colored lightning, perfect for this occasion.
Refining high-grade pills took time. Fortunately, he succeeded on the first attempt, without having to spend more time and effort.
This time, Xuan Kongzi personally blocked the lightning for Xiao Ze, which he regretted because he could not experience the effects of the seven-colored lightning.
Without noticing Xiao Ze's brief disappointment, Xuan Kongzi took him to the upper level of the tower. He placed his thin hand on the wall, unleashing a spatial energy that opened a spinning passage.
"The Little Pill Tower is an independent space, which is why it is so secretive," Xuan Kongzi explained with a smile. "Come, I'll take you to meet the others."
He did not give specific instructions to Xiao Ze about etiquette, trusting his previous conduct.
