Chapter 153 The Little Moves of the Pill Tower Ancestor
"It must be that elusive old ancestor of the Pill Tower."

After reading the notes several times, Cao Ying made a positive judgment.

She was a notorious enchantress of the Cao family, holding an extremely high position within the family. No one could force her to do anything, let alone arrange a marriage.

No one in the Cao family would do that now, so when she becomes an eighth-grade alchemist and one of the giants of the Pill Tower, she will naturally be even less likely to do it.

From this perspective, only the Dan Tower Ancestor, who possesses the strength of a Dou Sheng, would do such a thing.

"How could this old ancestor of the Pill Tower be like this?"

"Maybe I should just leave the Pill Domain and not join the Pill Tower."

Cao Ying wanted a free and unrestrained life, rejecting all coercion and demands.

What Cao Ying didn't notice was that an old woman was standing outside her window, her slightly cloudy eyes filled with deep thought.

"The stillborn child is about to be born. The ancestor has no more time to waste. This matter should be handed over to a suitable person to handle."

"This woman is special; she must remain within the Pill Tower."

The old woman was none other than the Ancestor of the Danta, who had a unique hobby: searching for pregnant women on the continent who had stillborn fetuses, and then entering the bodies of the deceased fetuses in a special way to "revive" them.

To become an ordinary baby, to be born, to grow up, to live a lifetime in another identity until the body finally dies—this is its way of playing in the world, and also its way of experiencing life and different lives.

Now, its body in this life is about to rot and decay, and it has found another stillborn fetus to inhabit, which is a cowherd's family. After being born, it can experience the life of a cowherd.

As is customary, he returned to the Pill Tower before his reincarnation to check for any problems inside or outside the tower and to set up measures to guard against the Soul Palace and any potential enemies.

During this process, it unexpectedly discovered Cao Ying's special characteristics and observed her for several days.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ying mentioned it today and said she wanted to leave the Pill Domain.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

With this thought in mind, the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower felt that he should have someone take Cao Ying as a disciple ahead of time.

Among the current leaders of the Pill Tower, only Xuan Yi is a woman, making her the most suitable to take Cao Ying, a young girl, as her disciple. So let her take the position.

"boom!"

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower made his move, in a hidden space deep within the Pill Tower.

After a long period of seclusion, Xuan Yi, who was attempting to break through to the level of a half-saint, opened his eyes and looked ahead.

"What is this?"

Those eyes, seemingly brimming with wisdom, flickered slightly, and the man in black raised his hand to take a piece of glowing paper.

The place where she secluded herself for cultivation was reinforced by generations of powerful Dou Sheng from the Pill Tower, making it difficult for even ordinary Dou Sheng to enter.

As a peak eighth-grade alchemist, she is already capable of breaking through to the half-saint realm. Her soul realm is only a hair's breadth away from the Heavenly Realm, and her perception is even more acute.

The fact that this page appeared without her noticing means it's not simple.

It couldn't possibly be some kind of prank by a Danta Dou Sheng, could it?

"Ok?"

His dark-clad eyes sparkled with emotion.

[The Soul Clan's Soul Palace harbors a thousand-year-old conspiracy. Cao Ying of the Cao family in Cao City, Dan Domain, possesses exceptional talent and has encountered extraordinary opportunities. Quickly take her as a disciple.]

[Pay special attention to a man named Chu Xiao, who has intricate connections to the former Xiao clan and is currently residing in the Jia Ma Empire of the Northwest Continent.]

The text consists of just two simple lines, signed by the ancestor.

"Ancestor!?" Xuan Yi was shocked.

She is indeed one of the three giants of Danta.

The Ancestor of the Pill Tower is indeed the strongest in the Pill Tower.

But in all her years, she has only met the Ancestor of the Danta once.

The ancestor's true form was a ninth-grade Xuan Dan, refined by a senior from the Pill Tower.

That senior exhausted his strength and perished for this, but at the last moment, due to the special method left by the founder of the Pill Tower, a trace of his consciousness was integrated into the ninth-grade pill, causing the pill to mutate and take human form.

It can be said that the Pill Tower Ancestor is an alternative incarnation of that senior, but the Xuan Dan itself also has intelligence, so the hierarchy is rather complicated, but it does not affect his status within the Pill Tower.

Especially after the death of the founder of the Pill Tower, he became the guardian of the Pill Tower, saving it from danger on many occasions, and his status was extraordinary.

"I remember my master saying that because of the special nature of the ninth-grade pill's transformation, the Ancestor has always been coveted by the Soul Clan."

"This is also why he has always been unwilling to evolve into a Golden Core, for fear of attracting more people to plot against him."

"For many years, it has used the method of stillbirth to shield itself from the secrets of heaven and comprehend the ultimate principles of the universe, but it has not broken through them."

"I never expected that today, someone would specifically send me a message asking me to take on a disciple."

Xuan Yi couldn't help but be curious about just how special Cao Ying was.

As one of the three giants of the Dan Tower, she wielded immense power and immediately sent a message to an elder.

Before long, all the detailed information about Cao Ying from birth to the present was presented to Xuan Yi.

"She was indeed a genius; I was not as good as her at the same time."

“Even if the ancestor doesn’t say anything, she will pass the test and enter the Little Pill Tower in three to five years at the earliest. At that time, Xuan Kongzi and I will compete to take her as our disciple.”

"This advance notice from the ancestor has actually benefited me."

Xuan Yi knew very well that for the patriarch to ask her to take on a disciple, Cao Ying must have some secrets, something even more complicated than she knew.

She was determined to take this disciple as her own.

"Bah."

Xuan Yi raised his eyes to look ahead, and as his gaze swept across, space silently tore apart.

She flashed into it and reappeared within the Pill Domain.

"Caocheng!"

With a sweep of his gaze, the man in black took a step forward.

A hundred miles is nothing to her but the ends of the earth.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the Cao family's residence and released her soul power to search for Cao Ying.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

A voice caught Xuan Yi's eye, causing her to frown. Her Pill Tower Domain had actually been infiltrated by the Soul Palace?
"Ok?"

The man in black furrowed his brows even more deeply.

She discovered that the person who made that signature strange laugh was actually a girl of about thirteen years old.

This girl, despite her young age, not only possessed the cultivation of a Great Dou Master, but also had an incredibly strong soul force, which surprised her.

"Could she be Cao Ying?" Xuan Yi guessed the girl's identity.

Just then, Cao Ying burst into hearty laughter: "Chu Xiao, you won't be able to beat me this time."

"The day of the alchemy gathering will be the day I am amazed you."

Through experimentation, she was surprised to find that reading the notes allowed her to fully understand and apply Chu Xiao's alchemist experiences.

Then she'll be an enhanced version of Cao Ying and Chu Xiao, defeating him by standing on Chu Xiao's shoulders.

With the notes in hand, Chu Xiao was her teacher in name only, which was more reliable than becoming an apprentice of the three giants of the Pill Tower.

"It's better not to enter this small alchemy tower."

Cao Ying decided to pack up and slip away to become a disciple of Xingyun Pavilion and study there, hoping to bump into Chu Xiao by chance in the future.

"Then where do you want to go?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Cao Ying's eyes glazed over for a moment, then she immediately replied, "Of course I'll go."

A chilling aura rose up, and Cao Ying instantly regained her senses, warily looking around: "Who is it? I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Little girl, you can't lie to me."

A soft laugh came from the right.

Cao Ying turned her head and saw a woman sitting there wearing a white and purple dress.

Her long hair was styled in an updo, giving her an exceptionally dignified, intellectual, and cultured appearance. She looked gentle with a faint smile, but her eyes and brows carried a sense of aloofness and coldness.

She is a woman who possesses both gentleness and intellectual beauty, as well as the transcendent aura of a strong person.

"I want to look like that when I grow up!"

The moment Cao Ying saw the black-clad figure, this thought came to her mind.

Then, she blinked her bright eyes and tentatively asked, "Are you... Senior Xuan Yi?"

Within the territory of the Danta, she felt that only this person would suddenly appear in her boudoir.

"It's me." Xuan Yi glanced at her and smiled faintly. "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

"Huh?" Cao Ying was taken aback, not understanding why Xuan Yi would change the subject so quickly.

"Um, this." Cao Ying rubbed her hands together.

Although she had originally planned to switch allegiance to Xuan Yi, she is now planning to slip away.

"Your Cao family is one of the five great families of my Pill Tower Domain." Xuan Yi smiled faintly and asked, "Are you sure you want to leave?"

Cao Ying: !
She's threatening me; this woman is threatening me.

I, Cao Ying, am someone who responds better to gentleness than force!

Cao Ying showed a somewhat stubborn expression: "I want to join the Starfall Pavilion. It's a force founded by the Medicine Venerable. The Pill Tower didn't stipulate that I have to become a disciple, did it?"

Starfall Pavilion?
A strange light flashed in Xuan Yi's eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "If Yao Chen were still alive, I wouldn't have much to say. His alchemy skills are indeed superior to mine, but he has been missing for many years."

"Originally, you would have to pass the assessment to enter the Little Pill Tower and have the opportunity to become an apprentice of an elder, which would take at least three years."

"But if you become my disciple now, you can immediately enter the Little Pill Tower to study, and your alchemy skills will improve even faster."

"We are both women, so we can communicate about things other than alchemy."

"Moreover, I possess a secret technique for the soul."

puff.

Before Xuan Yi could finish speaking, Cao Ying had already knelt down smoothly: "Master, please accept my bow."

Everyone says she responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Xuan Yi is so soft, she's got her hands on her!

Xuan Yi: "."

Cao Ying's unconventional personality is quite similar to that of her former close friend Han Shanshan; she doesn't like to argue.

If it weren't for the ancestor's request, she felt that Cao Ying would eventually become Xuan Kongzi's disciple after entering the Little Pill Tower.

"Go and call your elders. Today, your master will take you away."

Xuan Yi reached out and gently touched Cao Ying's brow, imparting to her a secret method of soul cultivation.

Cao Ying was overjoyed and immediately got up to go out and call for help.

Looking at her retreating figure, Xuan Yi's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Judging from her soul power, there is nothing special about it."

"His cultivation level is the same as recorded in the data."

"The ancestor is paying attention to her."

"Is it because of Chu Xiao?"

 I've seen many comments in the comment section discussing the issue with the design of the black-clad figure.

  The young author originally wanted to do everything perfectly and take care of everyone's reading experience.

  However, we need to take everyone's opinions into account, so we have now made some changes.

  Those who have already read it can re-cache and read it again.

  Grateful for the encounter.

  The young author will strive to write even better.
