After thinking for a moment, Xuan Kongzi said, "In that case, why don't you come with me to sit in the Pill Tower?"
Regardless of this person's true intentions, it's always a good thing to forge a positive connection with a powerful figure.
Even if the visitors are hostile, even if the opponent is a Dou Sheng powerhouse, Dan Ta is not afraid!
The greatest strength of an alchemist often lies not in their own power, but in the influence they wield.
As the largest alchemist force on the continent, the Pill Tower's influence has reached a terrifying level.
Moreover, there are also Dou Sheng level experts guarding the Pill Tower!
Tang Huo'er looked at Chu Yang and then at Xuan Kongzi, momentarily bewildered.
After learning Xuan Kongzi's identity, she thought her abruptness would cause trouble, but to her surprise, the two of them actually started chatting.
And as they chatted, this giant of Danta even invited the teacher to be his guest?
Dizzy and confused, Tang Huo'er followed Chu Yang and Xuan Kongzi into the Pill Tower, and finally managed to explain the key points.
strength!
They are able to receive such treatment, probably mostly because of the teacher's ability!
With this in mind, Tang Huo'er strengthened her resolve to become stronger, and also developed a greater sense of admiration for Chu Yang.
The Pill Tower is located in the center of Saint Pill City. The outer area of Saint Pill City is fully open, but the inner area is heavily guarded. Usually, only forces related to the Pill Tower or high-ranking alchemists can enter.
However, with Xuan Kongzi personally leading the way, Chu Yang and his group naturally encountered no obstacles whatsoever.
The Pill Tower is a towering black tower that reaches into the clouds, with a majestic presence. Xuan Kongzi led Chu Yang and Tang Huo'er directly to the upper level of the Pill Tower.
This is where he usually lives, cultivates, and refines medicine.
However, before the three of them could even settle in, a figure rushed in in a great hurry.
"Teacher! You're finally back!"
She was a woman with a hot figure and looks that were no less beautiful than Tang Huo'er, but with a more alluring charm.
"Ying'er! Don't be rude!" Xuan Kongzi frowned, but he didn't get angry. Instead, there was a hint of doting in his eyes.
"Who are these two?" the woman asked, sizing up Chu Yang and Tang Huo'er.
She was a smart woman and knew that it was no ordinary person to be invited here by the teacher, so she did not look down on her in the slightest.
Xuan Kongzi smiled at Chu Yang and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Chu Yang. This is my disciple, Cao Ying."
"Ying'er, this is Mr. Chu Yang and his outstanding student."
Cao Ying looked at Chu Yang curiously, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Mr. Chu Yang!" (End of Chapter)
Chapter 324 Xuan Kongzi's Speculation! Identity Revealed! Pill Recipe Finally Obtained!
After bowing to Chu Yang, Cao Ying looked at Xuan Kongzi and quickly said:
"Teacher, Elder Xuan Yi has something important to discuss with you!"
Xuan Kongzi frowned, then looked at Chu Yang and said apologetically, "Mr. Chu Yang..."
Chu Yang raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile, "Since you have something to do, senior, please go ahead and do it. I will wait here."
Xuan Kongzi thought for a moment, walked to the display shelf not far away, took down a few scrolls, placed them in front of Chu Yang, and then said, "These are some formulas for eighth-grade pills. They are not particularly valuable. Mr. Chu Yang, please feel free to look through them. I will be right back!"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he picked up the scroll to read it.
But at that moment, another figure rushed in hurriedly. Before he even arrived, his voice reached everyone's ears.
"Xuan Kongzi, you really have a big ego. I have something to ask you, and you have to ask to see me three times!"
Xuan Kongzi's expression stiffened. He gave Chu Yang a wry smile, then looked up at the newcomer and said, "Xuan Yi, you're not exactly young anymore. Can't you be a little more composed?"
"No wonder that old guy didn't like you back then!"
The newcomer was a beautiful woman who looked to be about thirty years old and was wearing a cheongsam.
Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, her already somewhat gloomy expression turned even uglier, her eyebrows furrowing in anger. "Xuan Kongzi, believe me, I'll turn against you!"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that there were other people present, and her expression softened slightly. "If it weren't for something important, why would I be in such a hurry?"
While the two were talking, Chu Yang had already memorized all the pill formulas through Pangu and gently placed the scroll on the table.
Xuan Kongzi coughed lightly and then said, "Mr. Chu Yang, this is Xuan Yi. His cultivation and alchemy skills are almost the same as mine."
“She is not usually like this. It turns out that she really encountered an emergency. Please forgive her, sir.”
Chu Yang smiled politely and said, "I have long heard of Senior Xuan Yi's esteemed name, but I did not expect you to be so young..."
No matter how old a woman is, she will feel incredibly pleased when someone compliments her on looking young.
Chu Yang's two casual words eased the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Xuan Yi also greeted Chu Yang, while constantly sizing him up.
Like Cao Ying, she realized from Xuan Kongzi's attitude and the way he addressed her that Chu Yang was no ordinary person.
"I've never seen you so nervous before, except when it comes to that old man. What happened? Take me to see him!"
Xuan Kongzi gave Xuan Yi a wink; with Chu Yang and Tang Huo'er, two outsiders, present, this was clearly not the place to talk.
So the two walked out of the room, and after turning a few corners, Xuan Yi raised his hand to condense a layer of soul barrier to block external detection, and then said with a solemn expression:
Do you remember what happened in the Northwest region?
Xuan Kongzi nodded and said, "Of course I remember. In the Jia Ma Empire in the Northwest region, there was a monstrous talent who showed up at the age of sixteen as a Dou Zun and broke through to Dou Sheng before he was eighteen. He even killed three Dou Sheng powerhouses from the Ancient Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Spirit Clan!"
"This matter has been widely discussed on the mainland. I remember that you were always in charge of investigating the situation in the Northwest region. Could it be that something has happened again?"
Xuan Kongzi was somewhat puzzled. This matter had little to do with the Pill Tower, since no matter how extraordinary that prodigy was, it was still just a matter of cultivation talent.
Moreover, the grudges between the other party and the three ancient races have nothing to do with the Dan Tower.
In that case, why should Xuan Yi be in such a hurry?
Xuan Yi took a deep breath and said, "I received definite information from the Northwest region. In addition to his talent for cultivation, that prodigy's talent for alchemy is also frighteningly high!"
"He only took a month to break through from a complete novice to a sixth-grade alchemist!"
"In an attempt to win them over, I conducted a comprehensive investigation into the situation of the Gama Empire..."
Xuan Kongzi was completely oblivious to what Xuan Yi was saying next; his mind was filled with the idea of an amateur breaking through to the sixth rank of alchemist in just one month.
This is hardly a monster.
Even if the Medicine Emperor were reincarnated, he wouldn't be any better, right?
"Are you even listening to me?" Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Xuan Yi was displeased.
Xuan Kongzi then came to his senses and asked blankly, "What did you say?"
Xuan Yi gritted his teeth in anger, but he also knew how terrifying the monster's deeds were, so he could only repeat what he had said.
"As I just mentioned, during my investigation of the Gama Empire, I received information about Yao Chen!"
"He took on a new disciple there, and that disciple's talent is truly remarkable..."
Xuan Kongzi's eyes widened. "You found that old guy?"
Xuan Yi shook his head sadly and said, "No, he was captured by the Soul Palace and his fate is unknown."
"However, I suspect that since the Soul Palace went to such great lengths to capture him, they certainly won't kill him easily."
"I need to save him, and I need your help!"
Xuan Kongzi remained silent for a long time before saying, "I will naturally not stand idly by in this matter, but the Soul Palace has always been mysterious and I'm afraid they won't let us find the person easily."
"The Pill Gathering will begin soon, and the matter of the Three Thousand Burning Flames is urgent."
"Therefore, in any case, the rescue of Yao Chen must wait until after the Pill Gathering."
Xuan Yi nodded and said, "I know what's important."
So the two returned along the same route. Just as they were about to reach the door, Xuan Kongzi seemed to remember something and suddenly asked:
"By the way, what's the name of that prodigy from the Gama Empire?"
Without hesitation, Xuan Yi replied, "Chu Yang!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, the two of them widened their eyes and looked ahead at the same time.
The young man sitting in the room behind the door, isn't he named "Chu Yang"?
Xuan Yi's mouth dropped open, and he muttered, "Could it be such a coincidence?"
Xuan Kongzi gave a wry smile and said, "I was wondering when such a person appeared in Zhongzhou, who has both the strength of a Dou Sheng and an unfathomable soul foundation."
"I think he and Chu Yang from the Northwest region are most likely the same person!"
"I just didn't expect that before we could even take any action, he would come knocking on our door. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing?"
Xuan Yi stopped and frowned, asking, "What brings him to the Pill Tower?"
Xuan Kongzi's expression was somewhat strange. "I've come here to seek the pill formula!"
“I had some doubts before, thinking he had ulterior motives.”
