Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 665 The Overbearing Guest from the Medicine Clan

The next day.

A ray of morning light spread across the sky, and a giant bird with colorful wings, resembling a phoenix or a luan, soared into the sky and sang, and the world was bathed in light.

In an instant, the once silent city of Saint Dan was suddenly abuzz with excitement.

At this moment, Saint Pill City is undoubtedly in the spotlight, with the entire Central Continent's attention focused on the appearance of the person who can stand at the pinnacle.

They knew that every champion of the Danhui Tournament had left a glorious name in the history of the Douqi Continent, without exception.

And it is precisely for this reason that the prestige of the Pill Gathering has expanded infinitely. Whoever wins the final championship will have a glorious chapter added to the history of the Dou Qi Continent.

Even if one eventually settles into an ordinary life, one can never truly lose one's lofty aspirations.

Therefore, this honor is destined to inspire countless people to yearn for it.

“Crack.”

In the secluded retreat, the door suddenly opened slowly, and a slender figure stepped out, fetching water to wash and practicing martial arts.

After completing his daily training, he withdrew his imposing aura, took out a magnificent robe to conceal his muscular and resolute physique, and quickly drank from his water pouch.

This person was none other than Xiao Yan, who had just finished his arduous training.

Today, Xiao Yan is dressed in a black alchemist's robe with gold patterns, and a medal is pinned to his chest, with seven purple-gold stars reflecting a dazzling light.

This outfit was undoubtedly the most formal Xiao Yan had ever worn.

He did this not only because of the supreme status of the Pill Society in the hearts of alchemists, but also as a declaration of his own identity.

He was a disciple of the Medicine Master.

"Disciple Xiao Yan greets Master."

Xiao Yan bowed respectfully, making a very formal gesture of respect.

"Hehe, little guy, it's rare to see you dressed up so smartly."

Looking at the handsome young man in the long robe, the old apothecary slowly stepped forward, straightened the collar of his robe, and said with a smile:
"More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The greenhorn who didn't even know what alchemy was back then is now able to compete with the best alchemists in Zhongzhou."

The old doctor's voice was drawn out, without any harshness or reproach, as if the alchemy gathering, which was said to be a gathering of heroes from all over the world, was just an ordinary trial.

He always had unparalleled confidence in his disciple, even if the one being surpassed was himself.

After the old general finished tidying his robes, Xiao Yan straightened his posture, smiled, and looked at the old man:
"Teacher, your disciple will go ahead first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and followed the flow of people heading to the Danhui as if on a pilgrimage.

The Pill Gathering, the most prestigious event in the hearts of all alchemists in Zhongzhou, has finally begun at this moment.

Xiao Yan had waited a very, very long time for this day.
Now, the east wind has arrived, and all that remains is for the winds to blow!
The venue for the Dan meeting was located in the northern part of the inner city.

That area had already been occupied by an endless crowd several days ago. Therefore, when Xiao Yan arrived at the venue of the Pill Gathering, he only saw countless alchemists and rogue cultivators. The vast clamor soared into the sky and shook the surrounding area for miles.

As Xiao Yan, an alchemist adorned with a seventh-rank medal, walked through the crowd, he naturally became the focus of attention. Countless people turned their heads, trying to find traces of him in their memories.

However, this attention did not cause the slightest ripple in Xiao Yan's mind. He quietly walked through the crowd, his soul power being released silently, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.

That feeling, seemingly extraordinary, was no different from that of an ordinary person. In just a few breaths, it completely blended into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

Adorned in brocade, exuding an aura of grandeur.

Such a balance of tension and relaxation can only be achieved through countless mental trials, allowing one to remain undisturbed by fleeting distractions.

Within the arena, countless alchemists still thronged around, taking advantage of the pre-match period to promote themselves and vie for fame and fortune.

Only a handful of people turned their heads and focused their attention on him when they sensed the approaching figure.

"That's Xiao Yan?"

In the center of the venue, a glint suddenly flashed in Cao Ying's lazy black eyes, and a dangerous glint appeared in the smile on her lips.

Dan Chen, standing to the side, nodded gently and explained in a low voice:

"He is the person that Miss values ​​and is also the personal disciple of the Medicine Master."

"Sure enough."

Cao Ying's long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, her voice gradually turning cold: "So, what exactly is Miss's plan?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen raised her finger and pointed to the sky, remaining silent.

Seeing that the other party still chose to remain silent, Cao Ying frowned slightly, her expression changed several times, and finally she sighed:
"That's fine."

"Since we have already entered the abyss, we can only follow in her footsteps."

"Boom!"

As Xiao Yan entered the arena, a powerful bell rang out, instantly resounding throughout the entire city.

One sound and all fell silent.

As the world fell silent, everyone's gaze instantly shifted, settling on the massive, tower-like stone platform above the venue.

The pale green moss on the stone platform now radiated a brilliant golden light, and a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air. Countless green vines rose from below the stone platform, lifting it high into the sky.

The towering green leaves slowly unfurled, and then a dozen or so figures stepped out from them and slowly stood on the high platform.

Its power was so great, like the blazing sun on a clear day, that it made the people below feel dizzy and confused. Some even couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground and worship.

And without exception, the objects of their worship were the three people in the first seat.

The three giants of Danta!
The three men's reputations are so great that they are known not only in Zhongzhou, but also throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. Their prestige is practically legendary to ordinary people.

"I, Xuan Kongzi, here on behalf of the Pill Tower, welcome all the alchemists present. In the days to come, this will be your stage to showcase your unique skills."

The elderly man with a full head of white hair stood with his hands behind his back. His gentle voice, even without using any fighting spirit, still quietly resonated in everyone's ears.

"Since you have all come from afar for the Pill Gathering, I will not delay any longer. This year's Pill Gathering, like previous years, will be divided into three steps. Whoever passes these three selections and emerges victorious will be the champion of this year's Pill Gathering."

At this point, Xuan Kongzi changed the subject, his voice carrying a hint of amusement:

"However, although the steps are no different from those of previous years, I believe you all know that our Dan Tower has now welcomed a newly promoted honorary giant."

Wow!
As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, a huge wave suddenly surged among the tens of thousands of people below.

A rising giant!

Everyone knew that the positions of the giants in the Pill Tower could not even be described as rare; they truly possessed supreme power that could influence the course of events in the Central Plains.

Danta's decision to announce the news at this particular time was undoubtedly a bombshell, completely igniting the already tense atmosphere in the arena.

With all four major figures present, this year's Dan Conference will far surpass previous ones in terms of both prestige and rewards!
Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, not only Xiao Yan, but also some disciples in the arena, as well as a certain black-robed elder hidden in a corner, had already guessed the name of the giant, and their expressions varied.

"Hmph, you damned old bastard, you only have a soul left, yet you dare to make such a big show of yourself here."

A hoarse, owl-like voice rang out, and a murderous glint flashed in the black-robed elder's eyes as he sneered:
"Unfortunately, I am destined not to let you have your way this time."

On the stone platform, Xuan Kongzi glanced down below, smiled gently, and suddenly waved his sleeve, welcoming an old man dressed in blue and white robes as he stepped into the center.

"I'm sure his name is already well-known and I don't need to elaborate on it. I hereby solemnly announce that the proceedings of this competition will be conducted by Yao Chen, the current honorary leader of our Alchemy Association, the former champion of the Alchemy Association, and the legendary Medicine Venerable who was once hailed as the 'Number One Alchemist on the Continent'!"

One after another, breathtaking titles slowly emerged from Xuan Kongzi's mouth. Each title caused the people in the audience to gasp for breath, and their eyes turned bloodshot.

Medicine Venerable Medicine Dust!
For countless alchemists, the prestige of this name even surpasses that of the three giants of the Pill Tower. Countless beginners were inspired to dedicate themselves to alchemy after hearing about his legendary deeds.

For most alchemists, receiving his witness would be an unparalleled honor!

"teacher"

Gazing at the kind figure revered by everyone on the stone platform, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, a burning glint flashing in his dark eyes.

He could disregard his status as a leader of the Dan Tower, but as the successor of the Old Master Yao, he had no choice but to fight with all his might.

To challenge one's master is both a way of proving oneself and a way of showing respect!
"Ah"

However, just as the atmosphere in the arena was getting more and more heated, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out from the sky above.

In an instant, a wave of medicinal power, far purer than that of the Sky-Reaching Green Vine, suddenly spread from the sky. It was extremely ancient and vast, and although it was also medicinal power, it appeared noble and extraordinary, far beyond the reach of the mortal world.

Then, a faint, cold sneer suddenly reverberated in the hearts of countless people.

"How dare a mere pawn call himself the 'Number One Alchemist on the Continent'?"

These words, once spoken, were like mountains falling into the sea, causing an earth-shattering shock!
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and their gazes turned to Yao Lao, their eyes filled with utter horror.
