Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 368: Look down on life and death, do it if you don’t accept it

After hearing this, Yao Lao also showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that the strange fire that Xiao Tian mentioned would be the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which had the name of the immortal fire.

It's rare for someone to become an enemy or mortal foe of a powerful being who possesses the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Because they are not immortal beings, they are like a demonic cockroach. No matter how you attack them, as long as you don't inflict a fatal wound, they can quickly heal their injuries and regain their fighting power.

"Brother Tian, ​​where is this strange fire?" Xiao Yan asked with a look of longing in his eyes, rubbing his hands together and trying to please him.

"Where the location is is related to the next message." Xiao Tian looked at Yao Lao: "Does Yao Lao remember the Pill Gathering?"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary froze, stroking his beard as he lost in thought. He then snapped out of it, squinting at Xiao Tian, ​​seemingly pondering something.

"The Pill Gathering?" Xiao Yan was taken aback and murmured to himself. He had heard Yao Lao mention the Pill Tower, but he had never heard of the Pill Gathering.

"The Pill Gathering is similar to the Alchemist Competition you participated in before, but this Pill Gathering is much larger in scale because it is a major event for the entire continent. Countless alchemy prodigies from all over the world gather together to compete. The champion will become famous throughout the world, and the three giants of the Pill Tower are all former champions of the Pill Gathering."

"And your teacher was also one of the champions back then, and after winning the championship, he gradually became a very popular figure in the Dou Qi Continent."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at Yao Lao. He hadn't expected his teacher to be so amazing; he could brag about it from now on: "My master is Yao Venerable Yao Chen!" "Who is your teacher?"

"You're not going to say that the Three Thousand Burning Flames are in the Pill Tower, are you?" Yao Lao looked at Xiao Tian and asked suspiciously, "You're not planning to make us go to the Pill Tower to steal it, are you? Putting aside those stubborn old fogies inside, just offending the Pill Tower for a strange flame is clearly more harmful than beneficial."

The old doctor had never heard of any strange fire inside the Pill Tower before, so he must have only discovered it after his own demise.

The Pill Tower is a sacred place in the hearts of all alchemists in the Central Continent and even other continents. It contains countless high-level alchemists. Offending the Pill Tower is equivalent to offending the vast majority of alchemists, which is not a good thing.

Xiao Yan also suppressed his eager expression and awkwardly said to Xiao Tian, ​​"Brother Tian, ​​although I am somewhat reckless, I have not reached such a depraved level."

Just thinking about offending all the alchemists on the continent made Xiao Yan feel a chill run down his spine. As an alchemist himself, he naturally understood just how extensive the connections and influence alchemists possessed.

"The Three Thousand Burning Flames are such rare and precious flames. Given the nature of the people of the Pill Tower, they would definitely protect them extremely well. Obtaining them would not be an easy task, and they might have already been subdued." Yao Lao also shook his head slightly. Even when he was at his peak, he was quite wary of the Pill Tower.

"They haven't refined the Strange Fire, nor do they know how to refine it. To obtain this Strange Fire, you don't need to snatch it; you just need to participate in the Pill Gathering for a chance to get it." Xiao Tian smiled slightly as he saw the two of them.

"Participate in the Pill Gathering? What does that have to do with the Strange Flame? Is the reward for the champion of this Pill Gathering a Strange Flame? The Pill Tower must be crazy to do that!" Xiao Yan asked, scratching his head, completely bewildered.

“You could say that,” Xiao Tian nodded and said.

"Huh? The ninth-ranked Strange Flame can be used as a reward? That's too extravagant!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan exclaimed in shock.

"The people of the Pill Tower can't be that generous. Do you know the reason, Xiao Tian?" Elder Yao believed he knew the people of the Pill Tower quite well. "I know a little."

Xiao Tian continued, "When the Pill Tower discovered the strange fire, the Three Thousand Burning Flames had already existed for quite some time and was extremely powerful. During this period, the people of the Pill Tower tried to subdue it, but all attempts ended in failure. In fact, many alchemists were killed by it. Faced with such losses, the Pill Tower had no choice but to seal it away."

"The top ten in this alchemy competition will receive generous rewards and the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

After listening, Yao Lao said in a deep voice, "From what you said, it feels a bit like the Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy. One is for development, and the other is helpless. I suppose the Pill Tower is also in a mess because of this strange fire, so it gave it away as a reward at the Pill Gathering to see if anyone can help solve it."

"No matter what, the Pill Tower will profit. Whether or not the qualified person has been subdued, the Pill Tower can gain a favor. You should know that those who can get into the top ten have very strong potential or realm. Becoming an eighth-grade or ninth-grade alchemist in the future is no problem."

"Whether you subdue them or not, you gain favors; whether you subdue them or not, you gain favors and resolve potential threats. As expected of the ever-shrewd Danta, they maximize their profits with a seemingly elusive opportunity."

Xiao Tian also strongly agreed with what Yao Lao said. Another point is that most alchemists know there is a strange fire here, but they don't have the strength to subdue it now. However, that doesn't mean they won't be able to in the future. So, they might choose to join the Pill Tower to prepare for obtaining the strange fire in the future.

Meanwhile, the Danta can also attract geniuses to join, thereby enriching its own foundation.

Although part of the reason is that this strange fire was originally prepared for Xiao Yan, the chosen one, others didn't know that.

"Only the top ten have a chance to try and subdue it?" Xiao Yan clenched his hands and murmured to himself.

Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Yes, unless you are strong enough to suppress the Pill Tower and forcibly seize it, the only legitimate path is to participate in the Pill Gathering and enter the top ten."

The old man quietly looked at Xiao Yan, choosing not to say anything to comfort or encourage him, leaving it entirely to Xiao Yan's own decision.

Initially, Yao Lao used various tricks to entice and even guide Xiao Yan to cultivate the Burning Technique in order to take advantage of him. However, after spending so much time together, Yao Lao had long since recognized Xiao Yan as his personal disciple.

After a few breaths, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled, a burning glint in his eyes. A slight smile played on his lips as he laughed loudly:

"I never thought I'd be lost here. It seems I've been living too comfortably lately. My teacher was able to outshine everyone and win the championship back then. As his student, how can I let him down? I must make sure I'm in the top ten, and I'll even fight for the championship."

Xiao Yan originally wanted to say that he was sure to win the championship this time, but when he thought that Xiao Tian's alchemy skills were much better than his own, he figured he would have a greater chance of losing if he competed with him, so he chose to be more reserved.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, that's more like you. You're indifferent to life and death, and you'll fight if you're not convinced." Xiao Tian patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan with satisfaction, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. The fledgling under his wings had grown up and could now soar through the blue sky on its own.
