Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 282 Various Forces Enter the Pill Tower

"Besides this, is there any other information, such as who will be attending the Dan meeting?"

Xiao Li asked.

"Yes! Take a look." The old doctor handed a piece of paper to Xiao Li.

"let me see."

The list contains all the intelligence gathered by the Starfall Pavilion this time!

The Soul Hall's Elder Mu Gu [A guess from Elder Yao: The Soul Hall definitely wants to compete for the Three Thousand Burning Flames; an extremely dangerous individual!]

In Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen [participated in this alchemy gathering and is said to have become a true alchemist, one of the helpers! The old alchemist's comment: He went to great lengths to become an alchemist; I wonder what his rank will be.]

Yin Gu, Wang Ming [participating in this alchemy gathering, Xiao Li's master, an old acquaintance, and one of his helpers!]

The Styx Alliance, Demon Lord of the Flame, an elder surnamed Li, an elder surnamed Chen, an elder surnamed Ning, and Chen Xian [The Styx Alliance surprisingly has five participants this time! The significance is unclear! But they are definitely enemies!]

Qinghua Old Monster [An old fellow, an eighth-grade alchemist, who has always wanted a different kind of flame; neutral.]

The contestants in the Pill Tower competition are: Cao Family's enchantress, a member of the Pill Family, and Song Qing [disciple of the three Pill Tower giants and the Grand Elder Qiu Ling, respectively. Their affiliations are unclear; neutral!].

[There are also other old fellows from the mainland who have come to participate in the Dan Tower.]

"There are quite a few people, that's interesting! Burning Flame Valley, Sound Valley, and Starfall Pavilion can help each other during the Pill Gathering. Does Little Flame know about this?" Xiao Li said slowly after looking at the list.

"Xiao Yanzi knows. I told him to go and meet up with Tang Zhen and Wang Ming as soon as the Pill Gathering starts. Tang Zhen's strength is still quite good. With the combination of an eight-star Dou Zun and the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, his strength can rival that of a nine-star Dou Zun."

"I don't need to say more about your teacher Wang Ming's cultivation level. A Transcendent Dou Zun is more than enough to handle most problems!" Yao Lao laughed. He was worried that something might happen to Xiao Yan on this trip, so this arrangement ensured that Xiao Yan's safety.

Xiao Li nodded: "That would be best. You can make the arrangements here. I'll go help Zi Yan reclaim ownership of Dragon Island and integrate the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I'll leave this to you."

The old doctor stood up: "Don't worry, leave it to me. With Zi Yan's cultivation as an eight-star Dou Sheng, there are probably few in the entire Dou Qi Continent who can rival her!"

Xiao Li stood up: "Farewell, Elder Yao!"

"Xiao Li, wait a minute! Elder Yao, call Xiao Yan here!" Zi Yan suddenly said.

"Huh?" The three looked confused, but they did as instructed, and Xiao Yan arrived shortly afterward.

"Teacher, you called me? Second Master! You've come out of seclusion?" Xiao Yan was overjoyed to see Xiao Li.

"Oh? A three-star Dou Zun, not bad! Your Heavenly Burning Flame Demon Body cultivation is also quite good. You've become much more composed. Not bad at all." Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and praised him.

"Hehe." Xiao Yan chuckled and touched his nose. He loved hearing Second Master's praise the most.

"Xiao Yan." Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan immediately bowed upon seeing Zi Yan.

"Second Madam!"

Zi Yan nodded slightly: "You need my help to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames on this trip, otherwise you won't be able to do so!"

"Huh? Why?"

Not only Xiao Yan, but also Yao Lao and Feng Zun Zhe did not understand Zi Yan's meaning. Xiao Li suddenly realized something and then understood.

Zi Yan slowly said, "The previous owner of the Three Thousand Burning Flames was a powerful figure from my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I went to see it, and that Three Thousand Burning Flames was based on the image of my Taixu Ancient Dragon!"

"Within the Three Thousand Burning Flames lies a dragon seal left by a powerful member of my clan. Now I bestow upon you a dragon seal. Without this dragon seal, you will never be able to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames in this lifetime."

With a flick of her finger, Zi Yan created a purple-gold dragon seal on Xiao Yan's hand.

"Thank you so much, Second Madam!"

Zi Yan waved her hand: "No need to thank me. I'm giving you this Dragon Seal because of Xiao Li and your sweet talk. It will help you successfully subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames, but it's not guaranteed. It depends on you."

"Understood."

In the Pill Domain, in the Holy Pill City, "It's that time of thirty years again—the Pill Gathering! This year's gathering is going to be very complicated!"

Three figures stood on the tall building of the Dan Tower, their brows furrowed.

Tian Leizi said indignantly, "That Styx Alliance is going too far! Do they really think they can control everything in the Central Plains? If it were the Ancestor, he could wipe them out with a single palm strike!"

Xuan Kongzi, who was in the middle, shook his head: "Alas~ Why would the ancestor take action over such a trivial matter? In the end, it's because we old guys are too weak!"

"If I possessed Yao Chen's strength, would I still need to hold back against the Styx Alliance?"

Xuan Kongzi gathered fighting spirit in his hand, but it dissipated in the process.

Over the years, the three giants of the Pill Tower, led by Xuan Kongzi, have dealt with the Styx Alliance quite a bit and have even taken action several times. Xuan Kongzi also took advantage of the Styx Alliance's pressure to take a crucial half-step and become a half-saint. Although he was only a beginner half-saint, it still improved the strength of the Pill Tower!

Xuan Yi's gaze flickered slightly: "Yao Chen! After that old fellow was resurrected, he only wrote us one letter and hasn't come to the Pill Tower since. But I've heard that he has a very close relationship with that old woman from the Flower Sect!"

Xuan Yi gritted her teeth as she spoke, because ever since she heard that Yao Chen had returned, she had been collecting information about him. She had received a lot of news about Yao Chen going to the Flower Sect and meeting Qing Xianzi of the Flower Sect, which made Xuan Yi furious!

Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi, standing to the side, wisely kept quiet. Xuan Yi and Hua Qing from the Flower Sect were rivals in love!

Xuan Kongzi sighed. Ever since he received the news that Yao Chen had been resurrected and returned as a Dou Sheng, Xingyun Pavilion had become a force to be reckoned with, comparable to Danta.

With Yao Chen's strength, alchemy skills, and influence, he could elevate the Starfall Pavilion to a higher level in a short time. Xuan Kongzi suddenly thought of something: "Do you remember Wang Li? In just thirty years, he actually went from Dou Huang to Dou Sheng!"

Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi also narrowed their eyes. They naturally knew about the famous Yin-Yang Saint, who single-handedly caused great damage to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. It was said that even a Supreme Elder at the Dou Sheng level was defeated and taken as his mount!

Xuan Kongzi sighed: "He's truly a prodigy, a genius. In just thirty years, he's reached a level that we can only look up to."

Tian Leizi: "Right now, let's focus on managing this alchemy gathering! This gathering is probably full of all sorts of monsters and demons!"

The allure of the Three Thousand Burning Flames is too great! The Styx Alliance even boasted that they would seize it!

Xuan Kongzi frowned. He was really afraid that the Styx Alliance would make a move inside the Pill Tower because of the Three Thousand Burning Flames. They were like a bunch of mad dogs, completely unreasonable!

"I will personally oversee this Pill Gathering!" an aged voice rang out, and the three giants of the Pill Tower turned around simultaneously.

Behind the three giants stood seven old men, the one in the middle wearing linen clothes with a calm and composed expression and the most powerful aura!

Lin Mo, the Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower, is a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage and a master of refining ninth-grade precious pills.

"Elder!" The three leaders of the Dan Tower bowed to the old man.

These seven people, along with Xuan Kongzi and two others, constitute the true upper echelons of the Pill Tower, the ten elders of the Lesser Pill Tower's Elder Council! They are also the true foundation of the Pill Tower today!

One is a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage, one is a high-level half-saint, two are mid-level half-saints, one is a low-level half-saint, and the rest are all Dou Zun who have reached the Transcendent Realm.

Elder Lin Mo nodded: "The situation on the mainland is unpredictable these days, and I have no choice but to come out of seclusion again."

But don't get your hopes up too high; I can't beat that Netherworld Old Monster from the Styx Alliance.

Old Monster Lin had already finished his battle with that Netherworld Old Ghost. Old Monster Lin admitted that he was no match for him, but he could still hold him off.
