Fights Break Sphere: I have five palaces for receiving energy

After a brief transmission through the space channel, which was only less than a minute, the light in front of Xiao Yuan suddenly became brighter. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was already on top of a huge green peak that was ten thousand feet high. Looking around, he saw clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

“A strong medicinal flavor.”

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and glanced around, only to be surprised to find that there were countless medicinal gardens on the entire mountain. The medicinal herbs that were quite rare in the outside world appeared in large tracts here.

"This is simply another Dan world."

Looking at this scene, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with some surprise.

"These herb gardens all have their own owners. They are the lifeblood of those old guys."

Xuan Kongzi smiled, then walked towards the top of the mountain. Xiao Yuan and others quickly followed him. Along the way, some old figures could be seen among the lush medicinal herbs around them. Although these old men looked like farmers growing medicinal herbs, Xiao Yuan could feel an extremely powerful soul fluctuation from them.

Obviously, these old men who look like herbal farmers have achieved quite high attainments in soul power.

No one paid much attention to the stranger Xiao Yuan. Instead, Yao Lao standing next to him attracted a lot of surprised looks. Along the way, some old guys kept coming up to Yao Lao and greeting him. They were obviously old acquaintances of Yao Lao.

After passing through several mountain paths, the group finally stopped at the top of the mountain. Xuan Kongzi and the other two first arranged Yao Lao and Xiao Yuan in a simple and neat stone house, and then went to find the person in charge of Xiao Dan Pagoda.

After all, this time, Yao Lao came not only for some prescriptions, but more importantly, he hoped to get Xiao Yuan to join Xiaodan Tower.

This will also be of some help in dealing with the Soul Palace in the future.

After suffering the loss of being alone, Yao Lao now wishes to build Xingyun Pavilion into the number one sect on the continent, a level that is strong enough to compete with the eight ancient clans.

Xiao Yuan and Yao Lao both knew that they couldn't rush this matter, so they just sat cross-legged in the house to rest. After waiting for about half an hour, Xuan Kongzi and his two men returned.

"You came at an unfortunate time. The Great Elders' Council of Xiaodan Tower will recruit new members in two years. Although the three of us have some face, it is impossible to set up an assessment just for Xiao Yuan.

Therefore, seven days later, the Great Elders' Council will recruit new members in advance, but all the old fellows who are eligible to participate in this recruitment will participate, and even if Xiao Yuan wins in the end, he will have to accept the challenge of those old fellows who want to enter the Great Elders' Council again two years later. "

Xuan Kongzi said somewhat helplessly.

Being able to achieve this is already a great honor for the three of them.

Moreover, the soul of the quasi-emperor realm does have the ability to change some rules.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled confidently:
"After two years, I don't think they will have the guts to challenge me again!"

"Okay! Be ambitious!"

Xuan Yi nodded with a smile.

"However, speaking of which, among this group of old guys, the one who has the best chance of entering the Great Elders' Council is a pedantic old guy. You also know that guy."

At the end of his words, Xuan Kongzi turned his gaze to Yao Lao.

Yao Lao frowned slightly and said:
"Is it Old Monster Hou?"

"Yes, it's that old guy who has always been at odds with you." Xuan Kongzi said helplessly, "For the fact that you stepped on him at the Dan Conference, the old guy has been unhappy for many years. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Xiao Yuan to face him this time."

"Tsk, Yao Chen is now a ninth-grade alchemist, and Xiao Yuan has long been an eighth-grade alchemist. Now that their soul powers have greatly increased, there is no reason why they cannot be a match for that old man."

Xuan Yi sneered when she heard this. It was obvious that she didn't have a good impression of that old monster Hou.

Yao Lao also nodded and said with a smile:
"Well, let Xiao Yuan fight with that old guy and let him know that not only can I, Yao Chen, defeat him, but now even the disciples I trained can defeat him!"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid Old Monster Hou's face will turn green."

Tian Leizi laughed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan didn't care. With his current alchemy skills, he was not afraid even when facing those extremely old monsters.

"How many colors of Danlei pills can Old Monster Hou refine?"

Although he was confident, Xiao Yuan would not be overconfident and asked immediately.

When facing such an opponent, it is natural to know yourself and the enemy.

"It has been many years since I have seen that old monster exert his full strength. The last time I saw him refining pills with all his strength was probably twenty years ago. At that time, he successfully attracted eight-color pill thunder. I believe he can now attract nine-color pill thunder."

Xuan Kongzi thought about it and said.

"Nine-color pill thunder?"

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, worthy of being the one who could compete with Yao Lao for the championship of the Alchemy Competition. This kind of alchemy skills can be said to be top-notch in Zhongzhou.

"That old guy has made rapid progress over the years. So, if Xiao Yuan wants to defeat him, he must refine a ninth-grade elixir?"

Yao Lao frowned slightly. It was a bit troublesome for him to refine a ninth-grade elixir, even if it was just the lowest level ninth-grade elixir. Although Xiao Yuan was strong, the art of alchemy required some accumulated experience. The old monster had been immersed in alchemy for so many years, and his experience was probably several times that of Xiao Yuan.

"Yeah." Xuan Kongzi and the other two nodded, turned their gazes to Xiao Yuan, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"If it's just a ninth-grade precious pill." Xiao Yuan rubbed his fingers gently, and then whispered, "Although I do lack some experience, the soul power of the Quasi-Emperor realm can completely make up for this." Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Xuan Kongzi and the other two also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

"Haha, in that case, then it's up to you to show your skills. You can stay here for the next few days. The environment here is very suitable for alchemists to live in."

Xuan Kongzi also stood up, laughed, and then quickly left with Xuan Yi and the other two. They still needed to make some preparations for Xiao Yuan to participate in the elder selection. After all, although the grand elder of the Grand Elders' Council agreed, some other elders also needed to be taken care of.

During the next seven days, Xiao Yuan and Yao Lao temporarily lived in Danta Mountain. During these seven days, many alchemists of the older generation came here. Of course, this was naturally because of Yao Lao. Most of these old guys here were acquainted with Yao Lao, and now that they hadn't seen him for many years, they naturally came to greet him.

As for these older generation alchemists who once had a great reputation in Zhongzhou, Yao Lao also deliberately let Xiao Yuan get to know them. These old guys used to have a wide range of friends in Zhongzhou, so if he could get to know them, it would naturally be of great benefit.

Xiao Yuan was also clear about Yao Lao's thoughts, so when meeting these old seniors, he appeared to be quite polite and respectful, which made those old guys quite satisfied. Moreover, when they learned that Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills were comparable to Yao Lao's, they treated the latter even more enthusiastically. No matter where you are, as long as you have strength, you can always easily get recognition from others.

After seven days, Yao Lao got some of the prescriptions he needed. At night, he followed Xiao Yuan into the Heavenly Tomb. With the help of the slow flow of time there, he taught Xiao Yuan his experience in refining ninth-grade elixirs.

When the morning of the eighth day enveloped Danta Mountain, this usually quiet mountain suddenly became much more lively. In the small Danta, there was not much noise on weekdays. Everyone discussed alchemy and managed their own medicine gardens. Although the days were dull, they were extremely suitable for those old men who were tired of the disputes on the continent.

On the top of Danta Mountain, there is a naturally formed square. The square is surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it is a heavenly palace. Xiao Yuan quite likes this kind of environment.

Nowadays, this square, which is rarely visited on weekdays, now has quite a few people, most of whom are white-haired and extremely old seniors. Any one of the people here, if placed in Zhongzhou, can attract the pursuit of many forces. If a sect can have an alchemist of this level, the benefits to them will be enormous.

As the sparse figures on the square gradually increased, Yao Lao and Xiao Yuan, led by Xuan Kongzi and the other two, went up to the square. As soon as Yao Lao appeared, many people gathered around him and greeted him with a smile. This showed that Yao Lao had a very good popularity in this small Dan Tower back then.

"Yao Chen, you old thing is not dead yet."

When Yao Lao was greeting these old friends with a smile, a slightly discordant voice was suddenly heard. Then the crowd made way for a path, and a rather thin old man in a gray robe walked in slowly.

"Haha, Old Monster Hou, you're still alive, how could I possibly be one step ahead of you?"

Yao Lao smiled slightly, looked at the gray-robed old man, and said lightly.

"Is this person the old monster Hou?"

Hearing the name Yao Lao, Xiao Yuan's heart moved and his gaze turned to the old man in gray robe. The latter's body shape was indeed like a monkey, and his old and rigid face looked extremely difficult to get along with, just like a dead person's face.

"When you took the initiative to leave Xiaodan Tower, I thought you would have the guts to never come back."

The grey-robed old man said calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. He and Yao Lao had never gotten along well, and he had always been trying his best to suppress Yao Lao, but this idea had never been realized, and it became a thorn in his heart.

Yao Lao smiled and did not argue with him. With his current strength, even if he looked at the entire Xiao Dan Pagoda, only the grand elder of the Xiao Dan Pagoda could be better than him. To him, this old monster Hou was nothing more than a defeated general who could never catch up with him.

"I was wondering why the election was moved forward two years. I'm afraid it wasn't you, an old man, who was behind this. I haven't seen you for so many years. Let me see if your alchemy skills have improved."

Seeing that Yao Lao ignored him, the old man in gray robe frowned and spoke again.

Hearing this, Yao Lao couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said:

"It's not me who is running for election this time, but my disciples."

"Your disciple?" Hearing this, the gray-robed old man turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan. After seeing the latter's age, his face suddenly darkened and sneered, "This kid is qualified to participate in the election? Yao Chen, this is not the way to go through the back door, right? This is Xiaodan Tower, not Zhongzhou!"

Some old men around who were not aware of the situation also looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise. They obviously didn't know why the latter was able to participate in the election.

"Old Monster Hou, Xiao Yuan is the future president of the Dan Tower. The champion of this Dan Competition is his younger brother and another disciple of Yao Chen, Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills are stronger than Xiao Yan's."

Xuan Kongzi glanced at Hou Laoguai and said.

"Dan will be the champion?"

Upon hearing this, the old monster Hou's expression suddenly changed. Back then, he lost the Alchemy Championship to Yao Chen by a hair's breadth, and this matter has always been a thorn in his heart. He did not expect that now, even the disciples taught by Yao Chen have achieved this position, and there is even a disciple who is said to be stronger than the Alchemy Championship champion!
"It seems that the quality of this year's alchemy conference is not good."

"Old Monster Hou said angrily.

"You are wrong. In this alchemy meeting, Xiao Yan refined an eighth-grade elixir with nine-colored pill thunder. You, old man, have practiced alchemy for so many years, but this is the best you can do, right?"

Xuan Yi said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Nine-color pill thunder?"

Hearing this, the old men around were also surprised. Refining elixirs of this level might not be difficult for them now, but when they participated in the Alchemy Conference in the past, being able to refine elixirs that could attract elixir thunder was already quite good. For some of them, even now, they cannot refine the nine-colored elixir thunder. Is this Alchemy Conference so fierce?
After being thwarted again, the old monster's face became even darker. These soft rejections made him very angry. He couldn't hold his face anymore. He waved his sleeves and snorted coldly:
"According to what you said, this kid can refine ninth-grade elixirs? But I don't believe it!"

"Haha, for those who can't fly, the higher I fly, the smaller I become in their eyes."

Xiao Yuan would not tolerate this old thing. Although Yao Lao did not care, he felt very unhappy when the old monster kept calling Yao Lao "old thing".

"You sharp-tongued brat, if you can't refine the ninth-grade elixir by then, let's see how you end up!"

Being ridiculed in person by a junior, Hou Laoguai's expression became more and more ugly. He snorted coldly and left angrily without staying any longer, waving his sleeves.

Yao Lao narrowed his eyes and looked at Hou Laoguai's receding back, patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder, and chuckled, "How about it, are you confident?"

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Teacher, don't worry." (End of this chapter)
