Chapter 540 Participating in the Selection of Elders of the Pill Tower

Lan Hong hadn't expected that Xuan Kongzi had also broken through to the Half-Saint level, so she naturally offered him her congratulations.

Xuan Kongzi dared not accept such an honor, and asked in a tone of reverence.

"Have you truly broken through to the Dou Di realm?"

Lan Hong didn't hide anything, and replied with a light laugh, "That's right, I've reached the Dou Di level and experienced a completely different kind of scenery."

Upon seeing Lan Hong admit that he had broken through to the Dou Di realm, the three giants of the Pill Tower all bowed to him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"No need to be so polite, just do it the same way as before. I'm not one for many rules."

While Lan Hong is right in saying that, the three giants of the Dan Tower certainly can't do that, given their status.

When Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, and Hua Yu arrived at the Pill Tower, Xuan Yi and Hua Yu clashed again, and Yao Chen had to deal with this chaotic situation.

It was only after much effort that Xuan Yi and Hua Yu finally sat down quietly that we had a chance to talk about serious matters.

When the three giants of the Pill Tower heard Yao Chen propose an alliance, they exchanged glances, feeling troubled, since the Pill Tower was not under their control.

"Yao Chen, you also know that the Lighthouse is not something we can control."

The Dan Tower Ancestor has been missing for a long time. With the Three Tower Ancestors absent, the decision can only be made by the lower-level elders.

Even if the three of us agree, we'll only get a maximum of three votes.

Getting the other old fogies to agree won't be so easy.

"Of course, if Your Majesty speaks up, none of this will be a problem."

Xuan Kongzi added a sentence.

"You don't need to pay too much attention to my existence. I'm just here to join in the fun and watch the show. Although I was the one who proposed forming this alliance, it was Xiao Yan who really wanted to form it."

Yao Chen naturally knew the rules of the Pill Tower. To gain the approval of the elders of the Pill Tower, strength was one thing, but the most important thing was alchemy skills.

As long as Xiao Yan can demonstrate alchemy skills that convince even the elders of the Pill Tower, he will naturally be able to successfully form an alliance with the Pill Tower.

And quite coincidentally, they ran into the Danta Elder Selection Competition.

Xuan Yi told Yao Chen that the person who was going to participate in the selection of the Pill Tower Elder this time was Hou Laoguai, Yao Chen's mortal enemy from back then.

"I didn't expect it to be that guy. So he hasn't become an elder yet. I'm going to make a good laugh at him."

"Are you even listening to me? You want Xiao Yan to run for the Pill Tower Elder? With Xiao Yan's current alchemy skills, do you think he can beat him?"

"Can Old Monster Hou refine several grades of eighth-rank pills with different colors of Dan Lei now?"

"He was already able to refine an eighth-grade pill with eight-colored lightning before, so he must be able to refine an eighth-grade pill with nine-colored lightning now."

"In other words, if Xiao Yan wants to defeat him, he must refine a ninth-grade pill."

"This is what I'm worried about: can Xiao Yan develop a ninth-grade pill?"

"Xiao Yan, you tell us yourself."

"I'm willing to give it my all and try. I think there's still hope of success."

"Alright then, the three of us will help you make the arrangements. Don't put too much pressure on yourself; just show us your best alchemy skills."

Soon, Xuan Kongzi and the other two arranged the competition, and the other elders of Danta also came to watch.

Lan Hong brought a group of people to watch the show: Zi Yan, Little Fairy Doctor, Cai Lin, Qing Lin, Qian Renxue, Nana, Gu Yue, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were all there. Their strength had also greatly improved at this moment. Thanks to the opportunity to meditate under the Bodhi tree, Little Fairy Doctor and Qian Renxue had already entered the Dou Sheng realm.

Cai Lin and Qing Lin are already half-saints, and even the weakest Xiao Wu is already an eighth-level Dou Zun. The reason why Xiao Wu is the weakest is because she is lazy.

With Lan Hong always protecting her, she no longer has much motivation to improve herself.

Lan Hong didn't care; whether they wanted to cultivate or not was entirely up to them.

The purpose of cultivation is to live a more free and unrestrained life. If you have to follow the rules and regulations after you have improved your strength, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

On the other side, Old Man Hou immediately launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks upon seeing Yao Chen.

"Yao Chen, you're still alive? Heh, do you think your alchemy skills can compare to mine now?"

"Old Master Hou, you're still the same as ever. But I don't want to compete with you. You're not qualified. If you want to compete with me, defeat my disciple first."

These words infuriated Old Master Hou, whose verbal skills were far inferior to Yao Chen's.

"Your disciple must be him. He did have some skill to win the championship at the Pill Gathering, but his skills are nothing compared to mine."

"Let your disciple experience the pain of failure first!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan, Hou Laoguai, and the other elder candidates were all ready, the Grand Elder of the Dan Tower directly announced the start of the competition.

Hou Laoguai is refining the Flame Demon Purifying Pill, which will surely attract nine-colored pill lightning.

The main effect of the Flame Demon Purifying Pill is to greatly enhance fire-attribute battle qi. It is Hou Laoguai's masterpiece, and he is 100% confident in its success.

As for Xiao Yan, he always wanted to attract attention wherever he went, directly using a strange fire to condense into a cauldron to refine pills.

Sure enough, he took out the Bodhi seed. The pill made from the Bodhi seed was called the Bodhi Pill, but at most it was an eighth-grade pill that could attract nine-colored pill lightning.

Therefore, if Xiao Yan wants to refine the Bodhi Pill into a ninth-grade pill, he still needs to add his own understanding and change the pill formula.

Lan Hong still believed that Xiao Yan could do it; what followed was a long wait.

Ultimately, the higher the grade of the pill being refined, the longer it takes.

After some time had passed, the first person's pill was completed, but it only attracted seven-colored pill lightning.

Elsewhere, Seven-Colored Thunder's eighth-grade pills would naturally be considered top-notch, but the number of elders participating in the Pill Tower selection is clearly somewhat low.

Soon after, the other candidates also succeeded in their alchemy, most of them being eighth-grade pills with seven-colored thunder, and a few being eighth-grade pills with eight-colored thunder.

The elders of the pill refining department also believed that Hou Laoguai would be the one to successfully pass the elder selection, after all, Xiao Yan was too young.

Finally, it was time for Old Monster Hou to activate the pill. The nine-colored pill lightning clearly gathered, indicating that Old Monster Hou's refining of the Flame Demon Purifying Profound Pill was a great success.

The elders of the Pill Tower also highly approved of Hou Laoguai's performance. Now, only Xiao Yan is left to continue refining pills.

Holding the Flame Demon Purifying Pill in his hand, Old Monster Hou gave Yao Chen a provocative look, but Yao Chen didn't even glance at him.

At this moment, Yao Chen's attention was entirely on Xiao Yan, and he was also worried for Xiao Yan.

This was, after all, Xiao Yan's first attempt at refining a ninth-grade pill, and the probability of failure was extremely high.
