Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 175, Becoming an Honorary Elder of the Pill Tower

"Mr. Ning can choose to become our honorary elder, so he won't have to take care of other things on a regular basis."

"Honorary elders can enjoy the resources of our Pill Tower. They can get a 50% discount when purchasing various medicinal herbs and pills. If you are willing to help refine pills, you can also receive a certain amount of free medicinal herbs."

"Most importantly, becoming an honorary elder of our Pill Tower will allow you to join our largest group of alchemists in the entire Central Continent."

Xuan Kongzi laid out the conditions for their Pill Tower.

"Why did the president only choose me? There should be quite a few alchemists at the Pill Gathering who also meet your Pill Tower's requirements, right?" Ning Su was not in a hurry to agree.

Now that Xuan Kongzi has personally come to invite him to join the Pill Tower, he is not the one who should be anxious.

"There are indeed many outstanding people at the Dan Conference, but their identities are more or less special."

"That Xiao Yan is from the Starfall Pavilion. He has his own teacher and may not necessarily join the Pill Tower."

"Old Monster Qinghua is a senior alchemist. He refused our invitation many years ago. He wouldn't have come out this time if it weren't for the strange fire."

"Cao Ying and Dan Chen, they were originally from the five major families of our Dan Tower."

"As for the others who haven't reached the eighth-grade alchemist level, there are a few who are quite good, but they haven't met the criteria for us to recruit them directly."

"And to be honest, none of the others would warrant my personal invitation; only Mr. Ning Su has the means to do so," Xuan Kongzi said.

Apart from Ning Su, there was indeed no one else who could be personally invited by Xuan Kongzi.

Even if Danta were to personally invite someone else, it would be someone else.

"So, I should feel honored to be invited by the president himself?"

"No, Mr. Ning can understand this as a kind of cooperation," Xuan Kongzi said.

Honorary elders are essentially in a cooperative relationship; their main function is simply to hold a nominal position.

But sometimes, a mere nominal appointment can play a very important role.

"Since the president has said so much, it would seem too arrogant of me to disagree," Ning Su said with a smile.

"I accept the president's invitation to become an honorary elder of Danta."

In fact, Xuan Kongzi's invitation was exactly what he wanted.

Ning Su had long ago planned to find more allies in Zhongzhou, and these allies had to be capable of helping him.

The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan are now his allies.

Danta is also one of Ning Su's targets. Establishing this relationship with Danta will be useful in the future.

"On behalf of the Dan Tower, I formally welcome Mr. Ning Su to become our honorary elder!" Xuan Kongzi shook hands with Ning Su.

The procedures still need to be followed.

"Our Pill Tower is very large, with alchemists from all over the continent. If Mr. Ning Su is interested, you are welcome to take a look around here at any time." Xuan Kongzi led Ning Su to the Pill Tower.

Then he gathered all the alchemists still in the Pill Tower together.

"Gentlemen, I have something to announce here."

"From today onwards, Mr. Ning Su officially becomes an honorary elder of our Danta!"

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the crowd.

The people of Danta certainly knew Ning Su, and many of them were impressed by the pills Ning Su had refined on the day of the Pill Gathering.

The eighth-grade pill of Five-Colored Thunder!

There are very few alchemists in the entire Pill Tower who can refine pills of this level.

Cultivators value strength above all else, and alchemists value their alchemy skills above all else.

Ning Su's alchemy skills deserve the respect of all of them.

Then Xuan Kongzi publicly presented him with an elder's plaque representing his status, with his name written on it—Ning Su strongly suspected that Xuan Kongzi had prepared this in advance.

Next, some important figures and basic information about the Dan Tower were introduced, which Ning Su roughly understood.

Xuan Kongzi even prepared a courtyard for him so that he could stay in the Pill Tower at any time.

This is a privilege reserved only for the official elders of the Dan Tower; other honorary elders do not receive this treatment.

This clearly shows how much Xuan Kongzi values ​​Ning Su.

……

After strolling around with Xuan Kongzi, Ning Su wandered around the Pill Tower by herself, preparing to return.

Suddenly, a charming voice came from behind: "Elder Ning Su, wait a moment."

He turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a black dress walking towards him—Cao Ying.

She was present when Xuan Kongzi announced Ning Su as an honorary elder of the Pill Tower, but she didn't have a chance to greet Ning Su on that occasion.

"Miss Cao, is there something you need?"

"Elder Ning is so cold-hearted. Can't you even come and say hello if there's nothing wrong?" Cao Ying smiled, her light dress outlining her graceful curves.

"Of course, who would refuse to be with a beautiful woman like Miss Cao?" Ning said with a smile.

The latest novel is first published here!

Cao Ying was called a "demoness" not only because her alchemy talent was as terrifying as a demon, but also because her appearance was as beautiful as a fairy.

Hearing Ning's praise, she didn't become shy or embarrassed like other girls. Instead, she accepted it generously and smiled.

"It is my honor to receive Elder Ning Su's praise."

She is a very confident person, and if someone compliments her, she will be even more generous in showing herself off.

This kind of personality is quite rare.

Cao Ying and Medusa are very similar; both are alluring and beautiful women.

But she is different from Medusa.

Medusa was the kind of queen who was high above others and had a noble air about her.

While Cao Ying is also alluring and beautiful, she is more of a girl who has been a genius since childhood, growing up amidst countless praises and applause, and has an arrogant personality.

This kind of girl is someone most people wouldn't even notice.

Unless you are more capable than her.

But Ning Su is one of the few who is even stronger than her peers.

"What do you need me for?" Ning Su asked, seeing that Cao Ying had greeted her but showed no intention of leaving.

"I admire Elder Ning Su's outstanding performance at the Pill Gathering. I would also like to ask if Elder Ning Su has the time to exchange some insights on alchemy," Cao Ying said.

Ordinary people simply don't interest her.

But it is acceptable to file a lawsuit.

"Miss Cao is also an eighth-grade alchemist, so I don't have any alchemy tips to share with you."

"It's different. You're an elder of the Pill Tower now. Can't I even ask an elder a question?" Cao Ying said.

"You can ask, but I can also choose not to answer. I am just an honorary elder and have no responsibility to instruct others." Ning Su did not treat Cao Ying any differently just because she was good-looking.

Moreover, he knew that Cao Ying was definitely not there to exchange alchemy tips with him.

This guy's talent for alchemy, while not as good as Ning Su's, isn't far off.

"What a heartless answer..."
