The Battle Through Heaven
The Pill Tower
The headquarters of the Yan Alliance was located in the Jia Ma Empire. Being the strongest faction in the Jia Ma Empire, the size of the current Yan Alliance had far exceeded what it had been a year ago. At least one-third of the territory in the central part of the great empire belonged to the various departments under the Yan Alliance. They created a stronger Yan Alliance while having a clear separation of tasks.
The Pill Hall was a very important department within the Yan Alliance. This place was able to give a wide variety of medicinal pills every day. After that, these medicinal pills would be sent to the Merchant Hall and quickly sold in every corner of the Jia Ma Empire through the channels of the Primer clan.
The current Yan Alliance could already be considered to have taken deep roots with the empire. The people from the Jia Ma Empire also began to familiarize themselves and understand this newly established great being. Some factions, who were originally just observing, started to join the alliance at this moment. According to this trend, everyone knew that the/it Yan Alliance would definitely surpass the position and reputation that the/it Misty Cloud Sect held in the empire back then.
Pill Hall is located near the center of the capital. Every day, there would be a large number of alchemists who would stay here from various kingdoms. Currently, this place had become the greatest exchange place for alchemists. Various rare medicinal ingredients and unique medicinal formulas can be seen here at any time. After all, some of the deep mountains in the enormous Jia Ma Empire, where people rarely ventured, hid quite a number of good items. The people who managed to get them by luck naturally wanted to take them out to exchange something else if these things were not suitable for them.
Moreover, due to the war with the three great empires this time around, the reputation of the Jia Ma Empire and the Yan Alliance also began to spread throughout this northwestern region. Adding this to some of the latest policies produced by the empire resulted in more and more people from other countries rushing to this somewhat isolated country curiously. In a short period of time, the prosperity in the Jia Ma Empire had far surpassed the past.
The Pill Hall of the current Yan Alliance naturally progressed to a level far beyond the previous union, the Alchemist Association.
The territory within the Pill Hall was different from the liveliness in the exchange room. It was a series of quiet and silent pill refining rooms. This place was specially prepared for the alchemist of the Yan Alliance to refine medicinal pills. There was a male and female servant standing outside every pill refining room. If the alchemists in it needed to convey a message or needed to deal with other minor matters, these servants would immediately resolve this matter in an appropriate manner.
Some pill refining rooms used rare purple stones in the central area of the room. This kind of material has the ability to seal heat and prevent it from seeping out. It was most suitable to be used to construct a pill refining room. However, due to its rarity, there was rarely an alchemist who built it for himself. Of course, the Yan Alliance was currently rich and powerful. It was certainly not much of a problem to build some high grade pill refining rooms.
This high grade pill refining room could only be used by some alchemists within the Pill Hall who had reached tier 4 and above. An ordinary alchemist could only use ordinary pill refining rooms in the outer area. This kind of level differentiation might have stirred up a little dissatisfaction from some alchemists at the beginning, but once they had gotten used to it as time passed, it had become a great motivator. Alchemists would strive even harder to practice their medicinal refining skills, hoping for a time when they could enter the high grade pill refining room to enjoy the benefits.
A pill refining room with an extremely deep purple color was located in the middle of this high grade pill refining area. Only Xiao Yan, Fa Ma, and a few high-level alchemists who had reached tier 5 had the qualifications to enter this place. Normally, this place would be considered the forbidden ground of the Pill Hall. Ordinary people or alchemists were forbidden from approaching it.
The rich medicinal fragrance lingered for a long time in this extremely awake pill refining room. They turned into a different colored fog that scattered in all directions. There was a stone pillar in the center with a pair of large cauldrons placed on it. The blazing flames boiled in the medicinal cauldron and the hot temperature repeatedly dispersed, turning this pill refining room into something like a furnace.
Several human figures stood around the stone platform. Their gazes were rather solemn as they looked at the inside of the medicinal cauldron. With the change of the seal in their hands, the flames within the medicinal cauldron obediently moved. They stirred and revealed the various materials that were being refined.
’Ke Ke, this head method for dividing refinement work really has a huge influence. Originally, this tier 5 alchemist would have difficulty successfully refining this ‘Life Worship Pill. However, now that we have joined hands to improve it, the success rate has increased a bit. When they have a better understanding of each other, the success rate will likely soar once again. At that time, the speed of refinement of this ‘Pill of Life’ Worship will likely increase significantly. ’Fa Ma smiled and observed some of the turbulent medicinal ingredients in the medicinal cauldron. He nodded slightly and chuckled softly at Xiao Yan by his side.
Xiao Yan also smiled as he stared intently into the medicinal cauldron. With this tier 5 alchemist ability, they should be able to refine one pill after about five days if all of them were to succeed. Of course, this is a prerequisite excluding failure. If this condition is included, chances are they will need half a month before they can fix ‘Life Worship Pill.
Of course, the fatigue while refining the ‘Life Devouring Pill’ with the strength of a tier 5 alchemist was incredible. It is naturally difficult to successfully fix it at once. Therefore, there were a total of six tier 5 alchemists divided into two alert groups within this pill refining room. The two groups took turns to perfect. This way, it will allow them to last longer. However, this kind of hand exchange certainly requires great cooperation among all of them. An unknown number of medicinal ingredients had been crushed in the hands of these people to achieve this level of cooperation.
” Two ‘Pill Life Devouring’ has currently been refined and they will be temporarily left with the old Hai to save. The care of the soldiers who were not afraid to die had also begun. ” Xiao Yan turned to the smiling Hai Bodong with both hands behind him.
” Death warrior selection is naturally not a problem. As long as the ‘Life Devouring Pill’ is able to contend with the election rate, our Yan Alliance should have ten additional elite Dou Wangs in half a year. ” Old Hai stroking his beard and laughing.
’’ We will do our best to improve the purification speed a little. If Fa Ma and I have free time, we will also fix it. However, I will not stay in the Yan Alliance for a long time. Maybe I'll travel after some time. At that time, everything had to depend on Elder Fa Ma. ’’Xiao Yan voiced his thoughts. If news were to come from the Fairy Doctor's side, she would definitely hurry. At that time, he could only hand over the affairs of the Jia Ma Empire to elder brother, Old Hai, Elder Fa Ma, and the others.
Rescuing Yao Lao and his father as well as searching for Xun Er would require considerable strength to support him in order for him to succeed. Hence, the current Xiao Yan possessed an overwhelming desire for strength. The current Xiao Yan should properly organize some major operations within the Yan Alliance as quickly as possible in order for him to leave with peace of mind …
Xiao Yan's heart held a strange anticipation for the Dou Qi continent where experts roamed all over the place …
’’I the old will naturally do my best. However, there is actually one person in the Jia Ma Empire who is more suitable than me in dealing with this matter. If he is the one who should lead the refinement of ‘Pill Life Devouring’, the chances that/it effectiveness will be at least doubled. ” Fa Ma smiled and spoke immediately.
’’Oh? Wh who? ” Xiao Yan asked with some hesitation. He was shocked when he heard this.
’’ Pill-King Gu He. ’Fa Ma hesitated for a moment before replying.
Xiao Yan knit his brows when he heard this name. He immediately nodded and agreed, ” There is no doubt about Gu He's pill refinement skill. However, given his relationship with me, it seems a bit impossible to make him help me, right? ’
’Ke Ke, although Gu He and the head have some conflicts, none of you are narrow-minded people. Therefore, the two of you cannot be considered enemies. Although Gu He was a bit haughty, it was not impossible for him to join the Pill Hall. ” Fa Ma laugh.
’’ Elder Fa Ma has a solution? ’’ Xiao Yan spoke in a surprising way. He naturally understood that/it Pill-King Gu He was a person who had great talent when it came to pill refinement. However, it was because of his great talent that made it very difficult to recruit him. Such a person did not seem to be the type that was willing to submit to someone.
If there really was a chance to get Gu He to join the Pill Hall, Xiao Yan would be able to leave with a calm heart.
’Does the chief know about an organization called ‘Pill Tower’ in the Dou Qi continent that is highly praised by a number of alchemists? € Fa Ma asked with a laugh.
’’ Pill Tower? ’’ Xiao Yan knit his brows when he heard that name. For some unknown reason, he felt that/it was a rather familiar name but he could not remember the details.
’’ The Pill Tower is a free organization on the continent formed by alchemists. This faction has been around for a long time. Even the tier alchemist system was created by them. Although this organization was somewhat lax, its reputation was extremely fearsome. It was very likely that/it was almost no faction in the entire Dou Qi continent that was willing to offend them. ’
’Although ‘Pill Tower’ may be loose externally, it has several members that form an elite core. These people were undoubtedly famous alchemists in the Dou Qi continent. Right now, Gu He's hope was to enter the Pill Tower to train. ” Fa Ma gently laughed, ” However, if one wants to enter ‘Pill Tower’ to practice, one should have a recommendation from an alchemist association that has enough weight. Gu He came to look for our Alchemist Association back then because of this. However, with the capabilities of our Alchemist Association, we might still be able to reach within the Jia Ma Empire but it is rare for anyone on the Dou Qi continent to care about us. Of course, we do not have the qualifications to provide ‘Pill Tower’ recommendations. Therefore, I could only refuse it back then. ’
’The current Pill Hall clearly has greater potential than the Alchemist Association. I believe that the/it Pill Hall will be able to have this kind of qualification soon. If the head uses this to persuade Gu He, I believe that/that he will agree to join Pill Hall ... ’’
Xiao Yan stroked his chin when he heard this. His gaze swept over the bodies of tier 5 alchemists drenched in sweat. He nodded a moment later.
