Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 533 Participating in the Pill Gathering
"The Alchemy Gathering is about to begin, and we're counting on you." Xuan Yi, like a virtuous wife, helped Xiao Tian straighten his alchemist robes.

"Don't worry, with me here, we're guaranteed to win," Xiao Tian said softly.

Right now, aside from not being able to refine ninth-grade pills, everything else is a piece of cake for me.

It's just that he's too young and hasn't accumulated enough soul power. However, Xiao Tian already feels that the day he breaks through to the Heavenly Realm Soul Realm is not far off.

"Yes, I believe you. As for the championship, anyone can take it, except the Soul Hall. You decide what to do. Take it if you like, or don't take it if you don't. Anyway, there's nothing good about it. A bunch of stingy old guys."

Xuan Yi also complained helplessly. He had wanted those people to increase their stakes, preferably with more valuable items, so that these items could end up in Xiao Tian's hands.

Xiao Tian glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and the others sprawled on the bed, then pinched Xuan Yi's cheek: "That old man Xuan Kongzi is really something, insisting that I appear with you three giants. Doesn't he know I'm always very low-key?"

"He just wants to use you to increase the fame of the Pill Tower. You're not exactly low-key, you're just lazy. Besides, didn't you also extort a prescription for Nine-Colored Pill Lightning from Xuan Kongzi? I can't help but laugh when I think about how much he was pained. But Xuan Kongzi has a very rich collection, so this little thing is just a tiny bit important to him. Maybe he can extort a little more later."

Xuan Yi's eyebrows curved slightly. Good things are only safe if they are kept in one's own home. The Heavenly Pavilion of the Heavenly Palace still has too few collections and precious items. It needs to be enriched.

At this moment, Xuan Kongzi was happily preparing for the Pill Gathering, unaware that his junior sister had already set her sights on his collection.

Seeing Xuan Yi's appearance, Xiao Tian couldn't help but chuckle. Xuan Yi was no longer the one of the three giants he once was; he had almost become a cunning and scheming person. It was obvious that he had been corrupted by Medusa.

Medusa seemed to sense something in her sleep, and vaguely raised her head. "That's enough, I can't eat any more." Then she fell back onto the bed and continued to sleep.

Xiao Tian and the other were a little stunned by Medusa's sudden voice. Xuan Yi patted Xiao Tian in annoyance: "Look what you've done, you've even made Fei Yan stressed."

"It's alright, she likes it this way." Xiao Tian shrugged. "You can take care of Xian'er and the others."

"Don't worry, everything is arranged. The viewing spots are the best, and no one will disturb their enjoyment of the show." Xuan Yi patted his bulging chest and said seriously.

Recently, she has been going out to have fun with her sisters, but because of the large and chaotic crowd, there are always some spoiled rich kids who come up to chat and bother her. In the end, these people were taken away by the law enforcement team of Saint Dan City, and their lives afterward were basically spent eating nine meals out of three days.

……

The Dan Festival in Danta is held every thirty years, and it is the most lively and largest event in Central Continent, without exception.

The venue for this Dan Gathering was a huge plaza, nearly a thousand feet in size, located in the northern part of the inner region of Saint Dan City. At this moment, the plaza and the surrounding area were packed with people, like an ant colony. The noise inside was deafening; you could kill several people by throwing a brick at random.

Xiao Yan was attending the Pill Gathering with the Ye family, while Yao Lao stayed in the Free and Unfettered Realm instead of Xiao Yan.

Ye Zhong of the Ye family explained the rules of the entire competition to Xiao Yan.

"The competition format for this alchemy competition is the same as in the past. The minimum requirement for participants is to reach the fifth-grade alchemist level. The formal competition is divided into two elimination rounds and the final competition."

Ye Zhong pointed to the dark gray space above the square. The entire space seemed to have been twisted by human hands, and within that twisted space, there was a dark gray gas that could block people's vision.

"This dark gray space is the first level, called the Illusionary Realm Level. The dark gray gas is generated from the body of a magical beast called the Illusionary Soul Beast. It can not only obscure people's vision, but also hinder soul detection. In addition, there are other mysteries within that space. The space is layered and maze-like. Once you enter it, you will lose your sense of direction and get lost inside. If you do not get out within a certain time, you will lose your qualification to participate."

"This round will basically eliminate one-third of the participants, or even more."

"After passing this test, one will gain the qualification to enter the Pill Realm, which is also the next test..." The more Ye Zhong spoke, the more solemn his expression became.

"The Pill Realm?" Upon hearing this name, Xiao Yan knew it must be a space created by a Dou Sheng, but he wondered how it compared to Brother Tian's Free and Unfettered Realm.

"You're overthinking it, kid. This Pill Realm is nowhere near as good as Xiao Tian's Free and Unfettered Realm. To put it bluntly, even the world where the Eight Ancient Clans lived wasn't as good as the Free and Unfettered Realm." Yao Lao's voice entered Xiao Yan's mind.

"Although their base was established or reinforced by Dou Di, that was only in the past. The current Free and Unfettered Realm belongs exclusively to Xiao Tian. Haven't you noticed that the Free and Unfettered Realm will grow larger as Xiao Tian's power increases? That is its greatest potential."

"Indeed, Brother Tian is incredibly lucky. He actually stumbled upon such a tremendous opportunity." Xiao Yan's eyes were full of envy.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao remained silent, thinking to himself, 'Is this truly an opportunity that can only be encountered in this world? Everything he possesses far surpasses anything recorded in any historical text. He's a truly mysterious and formidable young man. But since he's one of our own, it's alright.'

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something, Ye Zhong's voice continued: "The Pill Realm is a spatial realm, which is said to have been created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse from the Pill Tower a long time ago, but later, due to some reasons, the Pill Realm gradually fell into ruin."

"Even so, the Pill Realm is still home to countless rare and precious medicinal herbs, some of which have even disappeared from the outside world. Alchemists who are qualified to enter the Pill Realm will be given a list of rare medicinal herbs. You will need to rely on your own abilities to obtain all of these herbs within the Pill Realm before you can exchange them for a space stone at the exit to leave the Pill Realm and participate in the final competition!"

"There are two things to be careful about in the world of alchemy. The first is that although there are many medicinal herbs, there is a limit to how many you can get. You may even get the same herbs as someone else, so you can't waste too much time there."
