At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 338 Conspiracy
The Alchemy Gathering is the most prestigious event in the hearts of countless alchemists.

As the highest-level alchemist conference in the entire Dou Qi Continent, it's impossible for anyone who participates in the conference to be qualified to take the stage.

The most basic qualification for participating in the Alchemy Competition is to reach the level of a fifth-grade alchemist.

In addition to this, there are two selection stages before the final alchemy competition.

The first level is the Illusionary Realm, which tests the strength of the alchemist's soul.

Those who pass the first stage will enter the Dan Realm.

The Pill Realm is a spatial realm, said to have been created long ago by a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) expert from the Pill Tower. However, due to various reasons, the Pill Realm gradually fell into ruin. Nevertheless, the Pill Realm is undoubtedly a treasure trove coveted by countless alchemists, containing countless rare and precious natural materials and many rare medicinal herbs that are hard to find elsewhere.

Alchemists who are qualified to enter will be assigned a list, which is the second test.

The list contains some rare medicinal herbs, and all participants must rely on their own abilities to acquire all of these herbs within the Pill Realm. Only then can they exchange them for a space stone at the exit to leave the Pill Realm and participate in the final competition!

These two rounds of selection will eliminate all those who are not qualified, and those who remain after the screening will be the true elites of this alchemy gathering.

As a melodious bell rang, the entire square immediately fell silent.

On the high platform, space slightly distorted, and more than a dozen figures slowly emerged.

The three people standing in the middle are the three giants of the Dan Tower.

"Since you have all traveled a long way for the Pill Gathering, I will not waste any more time here. Hehe, the Pill Gathering will proceed as before, divided into three steps. First..."

Below, Xiao Yan listened quietly to Xuan Kongzi's introduction to the Pill Gathering selection process. He found that it was indeed largely the same as what Yao Lao had told him before; clearly, this was the standard format for the Pill Gathering throughout the ages.

"The one who survives these three selection processes will become the champion of this year's Dan competition."

Xuan Kongzi gazed at the sea of ​​people whose emotions were stirred by the word "champion," and smiled faintly, saying, "This year's champion will not only receive a spot as a candidate for a giant in the Pill Tower, but will also obtain an ancient soul cultivation method. Reaching the eighth or even ninth rank in the future will be just around the corner! In addition, there is also a chance to obtain the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which is ranked ninth on the Strange Flame Ranking!"

Wow!
As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, a tremendous uproar erupted from the dense crowd. Countless alchemists' eyes turned bloodshot. Eighth Rank? Ninth Rank? These almost legendary levels were worlds apart from theirs. But if they obtained that ancient soul cultivation method, that distance would be narrowed infinitely!

This will be fatally attractive to all alchemists!
Xiao Yan has already learned the method of soul cultivation from Yao Lao.

For him, the most important thing was the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, a burning glint flashing in his dark eyes. He could disregard the identity of a candidate for a giant, and he could disregard the method of soul cultivation, but he had to obtain the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

"No matter what, we have to fight for this championship!"
On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi looked at the gazes that suddenly turned blood red, smiled slightly, glanced at the sky, and then waved his sleeve lightly. An invisible wave spread out and struck the void, which once again produced a long, resonant chime.

"The time has come. All participants of rank five and above, please proceed to the first stage: the Soul Illusion!"

"boom!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, from the endless sea of ​​people, figures suddenly flashed out, and then, like locusts, they swept across the sky and then all plunged into that distorted space.

Watching the figures rushing into the distorted space like a torrential rain, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and slowly stepped out.

After the Dan Tournament began, only a dozen or so elders from the Dan Tower remained to maintain order, while the three giants had long since disappeared.

Inside a secluded room on the top floor of the Dan Tower.

A giant light screen projected images of the competition—

Countless alchemists swarmed into the illusionary realm like locusts.

Xuan Kongzi stood with his hands in his sleeves and nodded slightly: "This year's Pill Gathering is quite interesting. I didn't expect even some well-known old guys to come."

"The Three Thousand Burning Flames are far superior to ordinary strange flames, and they are quite attractive to these old guys, so naturally they want to join in the fun."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, ripples appeared in a certain space inside the room.

"You've arrived." Xuan Kongzi looked in a certain direction, a slight smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, the three giants who visited the Pill Tower appeared. It was none other than the Medicine Venerable, Yao Chen.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning?" the old apothecary asked.

"Yao Chen." The beautiful woman in black, dressed in a cheongsam, looked at Yao Lao with a complicated expression. Her originally calm and composed state of mind was now greatly disturbed upon seeing Yao Lao.

Xuan Yi, one of the three luminaries of Saint Dan City, once confessed her feelings to Yao Lao.

Unfortunately, the falling flowers were willing, but the flowing water was indifferent; Yao Lao had already secretly developed feelings for his teacher, Han Shanshan.

Therefore, Xuan Yi's feelings were destined to have no future.

"Why has your cultivation regressed instead of improved over the years?!" Tian Lei Zi frowned and said in a deep voice. "Could those rumors from back then have been true?"

Back then, Yao Lao was already a Ninth-Rank Dou Zun, just one step away from a Tenth-Rank Half-Saint. Now, Tian Lei Zi can sense that Yao Lao's cultivation level is even lower than his.

The old doctor nodded and began to briefly recount how he had been plotted against and murdered by his disciple Han Feng and Elder Mu Gu, how he had been hunted down by the Soul Palace, and how he had reconstructed his physical body.

The method to reshape the physical body requires three different types of fire.

Even with the addition of Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, there was still one more strange flame missing.

But fate is truly wondrous—

During his training in Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan killed a seventh-tier magical beast.

After devouring the souls of magical beasts, the Fire of a Hundred Beasts underwent an astonishing transformation!
This strange flame, which was already infinitely close to a different kind of fire, finally crossed the final boundary and evolved into a true different kind of fire—the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire—after being infused with the power of the soul!
Even the problem that Lin Mo had tried to solve countless times but failed to solve perfectly was unexpectedly solved by Xiao Yan by accident. It can only be said that he is indeed a chosen one of the world with great fortune.

Xuan Yi had been in seclusion for many years, only recently emerging to resolve the crisis of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

After listening to the old doctor's account, her eyes flashed with icy killing intent as she coldly said, "Han Feng is dead, which is too good for him. Mu Gu and the Soul Palace people should not be let go either!"
