Chapter 161 Refining Pills
"That's right, it's the alliance!"

Tang Zhen explained, "Traces of the Dragon-Phoenix Child have appeared in the northern region of Zhongzhou..."

Tang Zhen then repeated what the Fire Cloud Ancestor had said.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Yun didn't react much, but Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa both looked shocked.

"The son of the Dragon-Phoenix Dou Di, there is such a person in the Dou Qi Continent, I have never heard of him before..."

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly. Let alone the ancient times, the grudges between humans and beastmen can be traced back to the even more ancient times, which cannot be explained in a few words.

In the distant legends, when the Dou Qi Continent was first formed, the two sides were locked in an irreconcilable conflict.

Currently, the human race is strong, while the orc race is weak.

The seven ancient races regarded the common people of the continent as worthless, but it is undeniable that it was because of their existence that the human race was able to occupy most of the territory of the Dou Qi Continent.

Perhaps the ancient tree of the seven races is rotten and decaying, but even if only a tiny, tender green shoot is willing to meddle in the "trivial affairs" of the continent, it would be enough to make the beast race hesitate to act rashly.

However, the situation has now become somewhat different.

The six ancient clans coveted the Sword Emperor's inheritance on Xiao Jibai's body, while the Soul Clan lay low, secretly plotting something sinister.

For a time, no one paid any attention to the Dragon-Phoenix Son?
"That's how it is. The successor of the Sword Emperor and the son of the Dragon and Phoenix were destined to be mortal enemies."

Unfortunately, Xiao Jibai is tied up by the six ancient clans and can hardly protect himself, so he probably can't take care of us. The current situation is really not good.

The current patriarch of the Pill Tower was transformed from a ninth-grade Xuan Dan, which was refined by a senior member of the Pill Tower.

At the moment the pill was completed, the senior died from exhaustion. When he fell, a wisp of his consciousness merged into the pill in a strange way, thus giving birth to the current Ancestor of the Pill Tower.

It is also thanks to this that the Ancestor Danta is compassionate and loves others as himself. Now he is leading the establishment of the Central Continent Alliance!
Joining the alliance and receiving the protection of the Dan Tower is entirely beneficial!

Tang Zhen gave a detailed analysis of the pros and cons, his words full of sincerity.

Su Yun was surprised: "Is that so...?"

"Ok!"

Su Yun nodded.

He appeared surprised on the surface, but a strange smile crept into his heart.

The six ancient races and the Soul Race valued the Sword Emperor more than the Dragon Phoenix... On this matter, perhaps even the Pill Tower Ancestor, the Fire Cloud Ancestor, and various forces in the Central Continent had some questions.

However, Su Yun was fully aware of this.

In fact, this was all due to Su Yun's deliberate guidance...

What is most important in the succession of an emperor?
Cultivation techniques, combat skills, elixirs, formations to protect the clan, or secret methods that can temporarily unleash the power of a Battle Emperor?
No, no, none of them!

The ancestors of the seven ancient clans were all Dou Di. Who among them didn't have a few Dou Di-created techniques? Who would lack techniques and fighting skills?

Capturing the son of the Dragon and Phoenix might grant one the inheritance of a Dragon and Phoenix Battle Emperor's wondrous techniques, but what use would that be?

Origin Qi, Origin Qi is the most important!
In ancient times, when the source energy was abundant, why would the Dragon-Phoenix Fighting Emperor need to go to great lengths to find another way to study the method of drawing source energy from outside the world?

In contrast, the Sword Emperor, in the desperate situation where the Origin Qi of Heaven and Earth was sealed by the Dragon and Phoenix Fighting Emperor, broke through and was reborn, embarking on a perilous path, plundering Origin Qi from outside the plane, and finally ascending to the Emperor Realm!
Only the Sword Emperor truly possesses the supreme method of drawing energy across realms!
As the successor of the Sword Emperor, Xiao Jibai obtained all of the Sword Emperor's memories and naturally inherited this method.

What's important has never been the inheritance of the Dou Di, but the secret of Origin Qi!
Especially for Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and those high-level Dou Sheng who have a sliver of hope of reaching the Dou Di realm, nothing is more important than Origin Qi!
In the Sword Emperor's Ruins, Su Yun deliberately told Xiao Xun'er this secret, hoping that the seven ancient clans would focus on Xiao Jibai and ignore the Dragon-Phoenix Son.

From the very beginning, this was a scheme that Su Yun had laid out against the seven ancient clans!

Now, the seven ancient races are following his chessboard step by step, slowly moving forward until they step into the abyss...

Xiao Jibai needs the attention of the seven ancient clans and the entire Dou Qi Continent. Only in this way can the progress of the Sword Emperor's inheritance increase rapidly.

But as long as the Phoenix Emperor secretly obtains the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, everything will be fine!

"Well, Venerable Netherworld, what's your decision?"

A look of anticipation flashed in Tang Zhen's eyes.

"Joining the alliance... is not out of the question."

Su Yun pondered for a moment and agreed. Afterwards, he would need to frequently switch between the identities of Xiao Jibai and the Phoenix Emperor, leaving him somewhat unable to attend to Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa.

With chaos looming, and given the two women's current strength, even the slightest disturbance could jeopardize their lives... although there's a high probability that he's the one who started this disturbance.

Su Yun would leave the two women a backup plan, but joining the alliance and being protected by the Dan Tower would ultimately provide them with more security.

Tang Zhen was overjoyed: "Then we'll be colleagues from now on! Congratulations!"

"Then please, Valley Master Tang, do not cause any more trouble."

Medusa remained indifferent, still harboring resentment over what had happened earlier.

"It should be."

Tang Zhen gave a wry smile.

Su Yun said, "Afterwards, I will personally go to the Pill Tower to tell Xuan Kongzi about the joining. Of course, I will not forget your contribution."

Tang Zhen cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you!"

Su Yun sipped his tea and asked, "Does Valley Master Tang have anything else to say?"

"Well... there is indeed one more thing I need to ask of you."

This guy is such a troublemaker.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow: "Speak."

"This time, it's my personal request."

After composing himself, Tang Zhen said, "I would like to ask Venerable Youming... no, Master Su, to help me refine a kind of elixir."

Su Yun asked calmly, "What kind of pill?"

"A high-grade seventh-rank pill, the Fire Bodhi Pill."

"Bring me the prescription."

Su Yun extended her palm.

The Fire Bodhi Pill is a secret technique of the Burning Flame Valley, unique to this one family and nowhere else. Its level of secret technique is almost the same as the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations.

Su Yun's first colossal lie manifested the Calamity Poison Body, the Netherworld Poison Fire, and the cultivation of a Dou Huang... incidentally, he also gained sixth-grade alchemy skills and all pill formulas below sixth grade.

Later, he compiled a large number of pill formulas in the Sword Emperor's Ruins, but he did not specifically include the Fire Bodhi Pill, as he did not know how to refine this kind of pill.

At this moment, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Tang Zhen's face. He cautiously said, "I don't want Master Su to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill directly... but I want Master Su and I to refine this pill together."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa's expressions immediately changed.

The art of combining pills is a type of alchemy technique. Essentially, it is used when the grade of a pill is too high, and an alchemist is not confident in its ability to refine it alone, so they seek others to combine them.

However, alchemists are all respectable people who care about their reputation, so when they refine a pill together, the two parties must be of similar quality.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be an insult to the alchemy master to have an alchemy apprentice refine pills together?
Not to mention, Su Yun is a dignified eighth-grade alchemy master!

Why should Su Yun and Tang Zhen, both complete novices, refine a single pill together?
Even though Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa were not alchemists, they knew how utterly ridiculous this was!
Do you even know what you're saying?!

The Little Fairy Doctor's face was as cold as frost, and she shouted sharply in a delicate voice.

In an instant, the previously relaxed atmosphere between the two sides became tense.

　Regarding the cultivation level of the Fire Cloud Ancestor.

　　After Yao Lao healed his injuries, Huo Yun Lao Zu cultivated for a period of time before advancing to the second-star Dou Sheng level. He was initially a one-star Dou Sheng.
