Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 283 Demon Emperor, you

The Danhui (a type of alchemy gathering) is undoubtedly a major event in Qingzhou.

Every time the Pill Gathering approaches, cultivators speculate about what new elixirs will appear and wonder whether these innovative pills will be useful to them!

However, this year's Danish conference is somewhat unusual.

Because of Lin Jing's appearance, discussions about him were almost drowning out the Danhui itself!
Even within the Tower of Heaven, Lin Jing's participation in the competition was given high priority.

There is a concern that if things are not handled properly, Tongtian City could become a battlefield for those vying for immortality.

Each of the twelve alchemists of the Tower of Babel is a master of a particular alchemy school, capable of easily refining sixth-grade pills. Under special circumstances where the timing, location, and people are all in a good position, they may even be able to refine seventh-grade pills.

In Qingzhou, apart from the Tower Master, they represent the highest level of alchemy in the Tianyuan Continent.

Each year, three people from the twelve alchemy sects are responsible for presiding over the alchemy conference.

Currently, the three alchemy sects in charge of this alchemy gathering—the Sun and Moon Alchemy Sect, the Divine Cauldron Alchemy Sect, and the Creation Alchemy Sect—are discussing Lin Jing's participation in the competition.

There are three ways to qualify for the Dan competition.

"First, the affiliated forces of the Tower of Babel will have one entry slot in each Dan Conference."

"Second, win the alchemy competitions held by the Tower of Babel in various places to qualify for the Alchemy Gathering."

"As for the last one, the core members of the Tower of Babel have the right to issue competition tokens to outsiders."

"This Lin Jing used this participation token to successfully register for the Pill Gathering." The head of the Divine Cauldron Pill Sect was an old man with disheveled hair. He stretched out his hand and threw out a token.

"This token seems to have been issued by your disciple." He looked at another silver-haired woman present, from the Sun and Moon Pill Sect.

"I have already inquired about this matter with my disciple," Sun Moon Pill Sect said. "My disciple, Kikyo, did indeed give the participation token to someone, but that person was a young man named Fire Dragon Pill Master, not Lin Jing. He seems to be a pill master under the command of the Demon Court Saintess, Xu Qingyao!"

"There are two possibilities now. One is that the fire dragon alchemist that Kikyo came into contact with was actually Lin Jing in disguise."

"Another possibility is that Lin Jing obtained the participation token from the Fire Dragon Alchemist."

"Regardless of the type, it means that this immortal being has already made contact with the Demon Court."

"The fact that Lin Jing dared to show up in Tongtian City means that he must have the protection of the Third Holy Maiden of the Demon Court behind him... In that case... the Heavenly Lion Holy Maiden Gu Qianqiu, the Third Holy Maiden of the Demon Court Xu Qingyao, and the experts from the Ancient Kingdom Academy, means that he has gathered a considerable force. If a battle breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Although we don't know what the purpose of this immortal body is in attending the alchemy gathering, we must not let the battle take place in Tongtian City now that we have come this far."

“A year ago, the Tower Master announced his seclusion and handed over the Pill Gathering to us. In short, we must not disturb the Tower Master’s cultivation…” Sun Moon Pill Sect said, “Senior Brother Creation, you have the highest cultivation among us. Please take action to warn those who covet the Longevity Body.”

“That’s easy to say, but the question is, what happens after the Pill Gathering ends?” Zaohua Pill Sect was a dashing and debonair middle-aged cultivator.

"If it is true, as the rumors say, that Lin Jing came here to seek refuge with the Tower of Babel, should we protect him or not?" he asked with interest.

"Haha." Shen Ding Dan Zong laughed: "Then we'll see if Lin Jing has the ability. Even if he becomes the winner of the Pill Gathering, it's not worth the Tower of Babel going against so many forces just to protect him."

"Unless his pills are something that can shock us, do you think a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could achieve this?"

"Well, while his talent in alchemy is indeed good, it's nothing compared to the karma he carries." The Sun and Moon Pill Sect took out a Gluttonous Pill, which was refined by Lin Jing and was indeed amazing. However, with this level of talent, it was far from enough to gain the protection of the Tower of Babel.

After all, there may be more than a handful of Void Profound Demon Ancestors... eyeing Lin Jing right now.

Even if the Tower of Babel has a powerful foundation, it is unwilling to cause trouble for the sake of the Longevity Body. Moreover, this Longevity Body is not a cultivator from Qingzhou, but a cultivator from an ancient kingdom.

"Once the Pill Gathering is over, we'll find a reason to expel Lin Jing from Tongtian City. We shouldn't get involved in these grudges; let's just see if there's an opportunity for us to reap the benefits."

The three alchemy masters finalized their stance on Lin Jing's participation in the competition.

In the blink of an eye, several months later.

The start time of the Dan Conference is drawing ever closer.

Even with the risk of a major battle here, a large number of cultivators still come to Tongtian City.

The Danish trade fair is also a business opportunity.

Many of the new pills with excellent effects were immediately purchased in bulk by certain forces after the pill gathering ended.

If you act too late, you may not be able to obtain new pills, since a pill refiner has limited energy and materials.

If these forces could obtain some high-quality pills with novel effects in advance, their overall strength would likely surge dramatically upon returning, quickly surpassing the surrounding forces.

It is entirely possible for a single pill to change the situation of a city.

But now, with the Pill Gathering about to begin and the fishing net about to be hauled in, Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao are panicking.

"what to do."

"We can't contact the Demon Emperor at all."

Before Lin Jing refined the Transformation Pill and went to the Thunder Dragon Clan, Xu Qingyao clearly contacted His Majesty the Demon Emperor and told him that Lin Jing would participate in the most recent Pill Gathering...

Subsequently, the Demon Emperor agreed, stating that it would take action at that time.

However, the time is almost up, and the Demon Emperor has disappeared!
"Where can His Majesty the Demon Emperor go?"

Lin Jing was in a bind. At this crucial moment, he was just waiting for His Majesty the Demon Emperor to display his supernatural powers. It would be too much if he couldn't get in touch with him.

Lin Jing sighed and said, "How about... we don't participate in the competition?"

"We'll talk about it next time."

"Anyway, those who care whether I show up at the Dan Conference are all enemies, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to play with them a bit."

"Is this...okay?" The senior sister fell into deep thought.

"This is the only way we can do it, whether it works or not. We can't go to the competition alone without being able to contact His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

"Although my illusion skills are quite good, in a place like that... there will be at least a dozen Void Profound Eyes watching Tongtian City. Once I show myself, it will be difficult to hide again."

"Without a protector, the day the Pill Gathering ends will be my death day..."

The two had no choice but to decide to stand Dan up...

Just as they were packing their bags, deciding not to go to Tongtian City and heading back home, a crack suddenly appeared not far away...

Immediately afterwards, a girl in her early teens, wearing a white dragon robe, with a chubby face and white hair, walked out.

Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao stared silently at the white-haired, tiger-eared, and tiger-tailed girl, speechless for a long time, hoping their guess was wrong...

"I am late."
