Su Wanyin's Breakthrough lasted for a day and a night. After the Heaven and Earth energy calmed down, everyone knew that the mysterious Yin Valley Valley Master had completed her Breakthrough.
Su Wanyin, a Six-Star Dou Zun!
Valley Master Tang Zhen looked at the gradually calming Heaven and Earth anomaly in the distance and put away the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in his hand.
"Alas~ she still got ahead of me. I can't slow down, or it would be embarrassing if my cultivation Realm was lower than that old bastard Binghe's."
Valley Master Tang Zhen muttered to himself.
When Su Wanyin made her Breakthrough, Xiao Li had already left. A Dou Zun Expert's Breakthrough to a new star Realm takes some time, so Xiao Li, having nothing to do, exchanged insights with Valley Master Tang Zhen.
Valley Master Tang Zhen was naturally overjoyed. First, he exchanged Alchemist insights with Xiao Li, and then insights on fire control.
It must be said that Burning Flame Valley, established for many years, indeed has a very strong foundation. Their fire control technique was miraculous. In comparison, Xiao Li's self-created "Yin and Yang Fire Control Art" was still too nascent.
Burning Flame Valley's fire control technique is called "Nine Dragon Blazing Flame Art." This fire control technique is equivalent to an Earth Rank Advanced technique and also has a specific focus, specifically adapted for the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
If other different fires were used, the effect would not be as good.
The fire control technique Xiao Li created himself was adapted from Jia Nan Academy's Dan Fire Technique, equivalent to a Profound Rank Advanced technique. The key is that Xiao Li created it from scratch, and his Realm was not yet sufficient to complete its creation, or rather, Xiao Li's experience was not enough.
So Xiao Li sought out Valley Master Tang Zhen, first asking if he could obtain the Heaven Fire Three Profound Transformations. As soon as he spoke, Burning Flame Valley's Elders became anxious, vehemently disagreeing. Valley Master Tang Zhen hadn't even spoken yet, but these Elders were truly talkative.
Xiao Li didn't pay attention to them. They were just a few Dou Zongs, what was there to be arrogant about? He then exchanged insights on different fires and fire control with Valley Master Tang Zhen.
Valley Master Tang Zhen also didn't expect this young Seventh-Rank Alchemist to possess a different fire, the Yin Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first on the strange fire ranking list. The Yin Yang Twin Flames are extremely rare. According to Sect records, the previous owner of the Yin Yang Twin Flames was named Xiao Xuan.
Different fire owners are rare. Valley Master Tang Zhen, encountering a fellow Dao practitioner, naturally had many thoughts and shared his insights on using different fires with Xiao Li. Moreover, Valley Master Tang Zhen discovered that the Aura of the Yin Yang Twin Flames in Xiao Li's hand was no less than his Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
Xiao Li also gained a lot from Valley Master Tang Zhen. Overall, his impression of Burning Flame Valley was very good. Although the Valley Master had little dignity, and Elders constantly challenged him, Xiao Li also understood, ultimately, are you the Valley Master, or is Valley Master Tang Zhen the Valley Master?
Are you a Dou Zun Expert, or is Valley Master Tang Zhen a Dou Zun (Fighting Venerable)? Haven't these Elders figured out the priorities? It's just that Valley Master Tang Zhen has a good temper; if it were someone else, the Elders' heads would be rolling all over the ground... After Su Wanyin woke up, she came to Xiao Li's side, then looked at Valley Master Tang Zhen with an unfriendly gaze.
"What kind of look is that? I was just exchanging insights on different fires with little friend Lier. Knowing it concerns you, I won't compete with you."
Valley Master Tang Zhen said timidly. After all, Su Wanyin was now a Six-Star Dou Zun; he really couldn't win against her.
"Hmph!" Su Wanyin snorted coldly, then looked at Xiao Li with a softened and benevolent gaze: "Lier, come with your Senior Aunt, I'll take you to Holy Pill City. To participate in the Pill Gathering, besides a recommendation slot, you also need an Alchemist Rank.
You probably haven't taken the Pill Tower's assessment yet, right? Go and get an Alchemist badge; that will elevate your status and position even further."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Aunt." Xiao Li nodded.
Su Wanyin smiled, then looked at the Elder beside her: "Give the order to clean up the Sound Valley's courtyard in Holy Pill City for Lier to reside in."
"But Master, wouldn't that be against the rules?" the Elder said timidly.
"Hmm?" Su Wanyin's gaze turned sharp.
"Listen to the Valley Master, go clean it up immediately!" The Elder wished he could slap himself. Why was his mouth so cheap? He just had to be talkative!
Only then was Su Wanyin satisfied: "You don't need to look like that. Lier is exceptionally talented, at such a young age… uh, Lier, how old are you now?"
"Almost 22."
"Exactly! A Seventh-Rank Alchemist under twenty-two will surely become an Eighth-Grade Alchemist in the future. I ask, where would an Eighth-Grade Alchemist not be respected? Or can you all invite an Eighth-Grade Alchemist for our Sound Valley?"
Su Wanyin's voice reached the ears of several Elders, immediately making their thoughts clear. An Eighth-Grade Alchemist, what rules are needed? Sound Valley has been established for so many years, and only two Eighth-Grade Alchemists have appeared.
Currently, the Alchemist within Sound Valley is only a Seventh-Grade Intermediate, and quite old, far less promising than Xiao Li.
Moreover, this promising Alchemist has an extraordinary relationship with the Valley Master. The Elders of Sound Valley all knew that the Valley Master had someone she liked, as a portrait of a man had always hung in the Valley Master's room, said to be personally painted by Valley Master Su Wanyin.
This wave, Sound Valley truly hit the jackpot.
On the other side, the Elders of Burning Flame Valley, upon hearing Su Wanyin's words, immediately dropped their jaws. Can it be played like this? Were their brains burned out by the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame?
They had inadvertently offended an Alchemist who was destined to become an Eighth-Grade Alchemist! It's over, it's over.
These Elders were accustomed to throwing their weight around in the Valley, daring to disrespect even the Valley Master's Face. Now, trouble had come.
Valley Master Tang Zhen squinted at the Elders, snorting coldly, "Look at the good deeds you've done!"
"Let's go, Lier, we're going to Holy Pill City. Your Senior Aunt will personally accompany you. I want to see who dares to offend you without having eyes!" Su Wanyin at this moment had a certain fierce maternal Aura.
"Alright. I'll first deliver some items to the Liu Family, then we can depart." Xiao Li cupped his fists.
Xiao Li turned and went to find Liu Tianlong and Liu Tianjiao, giving the Elixirs refined during this period to the Liu Family as previously agreed.
Some Elixirs that Xiao Li didn't need, such as Dou Ling Pill, Huangji Pill, and Qing Yuan Pill, Xiao Li kept a few of the best quality ones and gave the rest to the Liu Family.
The Liu Family could either consume them themselves or auction them off, considering it compensation for Xiao Li taking their Family's collection.
Liu Kunsheng's mouth was almost splitting from smiling. With so many Elixirs, it would take the Liu Family a considerable amount of time to consume them all. Among them were also two Break-Sect Pills, which could add two new Dou Zong Experts to the Liu Family.
Liu Kunsheng decided to leave these two Break-Sect Pills for Liu Tianlong and Liu Tianjiao. They had rendered great service to the Family this time and deserved commendation. Afterwards, the Family's resources would be prioritized to cultivate the two brothers first!
Having completed all this, Xiao Li bid farewell to the Liu Family brothers.
Next, Xiao Li's destination was Holy Pill City, the Holy Land in the hearts of all Alchemists!
...A few days later, Xiao Li and his group emerged from a space wormhole. Looking out, they saw a vast plaza built entirely of crimson rock. This plaza stretched as far as the eye could see, the only thing visible being a crimson line that extended to the horizon. It was packed with people.
The space behind Xiao Li was constantly undergoing violent distortions, with space wormholes continuously emerging from it, then rapidly shrinking. The figures within, however, descended from the sky like falling beans.
"Is this Holy Pill City? The center of the continent." Xiao Li exclaimed, it was truly crowded here.
"This is just one of the space points in Holy Pill City's outer domain. There are eight such space fields in the outer domain." Su Wanyin explained to Xiao Li. As a major power in the Central Plains, she naturally knew a lot.
Xiao Li was now like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything around him novel.
Tian Chi, with his hands behind his back, said: "There are still three months until the Pill Gathering begins; it will be even more crowded then."
Xiao Li: "Uh, Holy Pill City is actually this terrifying!"
