Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 85 Food is the most important thing for the people!

Dantang.

Gah arrived at Fama's office, where several elders of the Dan Hall were already seated, including Elder Mitchell.

"With so many elders from the Pill Hall gathered here, there must be something important going on," Jiahe said with a smile.

Fa Ma looked at Jia He and said, "There is indeed something going on. Originally, the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Conference, which is held every five years, was just six months away. However, the sect competition in the Northwest is also approaching, so there is a conflict in the timing."

"So we were thinking of discussing whether we should change the date of the Alchemist Conference?"

Upon hearing Fama's words, Gahe sat down in a chair and said, "The Gama Empire is about to begin its expansion, and Dantang's vision cannot be limited to the interior of our current empire."

"The Alchemist Conference will be postponed for three years. Future Alchemist Conferences will be changed from being held every five years to every eight years, or even every ten years!"

Elder Mitchell said, "I think an eight-year cycle is sufficient. The current Alchemist Conference mainly focuses on young alchemists, and the age limit is set at thirty. Eight years is enough time for a young alchemist to grow up!"

"That's right, I agree to change the Alchemist Conference to be held every eight years." Many elders nodded in agreement.

Fa Ma said, "Alright, since everyone agrees, let's start with this Alchemist Conference and postpone it for three years, changing it from a five-year conference to an eight-year conference!"

Gah then looked at Fama and asked, "Pharaoh, have you heard of the Dan Tower in the Central Plains?"

Fama said, "I've heard some things about it, but I know very little about it!"

"Today I will talk to you about the Pill Tower. From now on, the Pill Hall of the Imperial Prison can learn from the Pill Tower. The influence of alchemists should be amplified. At least you should expand the influence of your Pill Hall to the entire Northwest region!" Jiahe said slowly.

Fama and the others all looked at Gah and said, "That would be best."

"The Pill Tower is divided into two parts, inner and outer. The outer part represents the Pill Tower's visible strength, where most of the elders are at the sixth or seventh rank, or even the eighth rank!"

"The interior of the Pill Tower is called the Lesser Pill Tower, which is the true core of the Pill Tower. Only alchemists of the eighth rank or higher can reside there!"

As soon as Gahe finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

"They're all eighth-grade alchemists? How terrifying must their influence be?" an elder said in a trembling voice.

Jiahe said, "That is precisely why Danta possesses such formidable strength throughout the Central Continent."

"If this Pill Tower is so powerful, wouldn't it be invincible in the Central Continent?" Mitchell said, looking at Gahe.

Jiahe shook his head and said, "The Pill Tower is naturally not the strongest force. The Soul Palace, which claims to be the number one force on the Dou Qi Continent, is a level stronger than the Pill Tower!"

"These are things you'll need to learn after you reach a higher level."

"Currently, the elders of our Pill Hall are all at the fourth or fifth rank, with only the sixth rank alchemist among them. Apart from myself and Pharaoh, there is no one else. This number is still too small, especially considering that you have cultivated the Soul Technique!"

"What you need to do is, within three years, have the Pill Hall have at least five seventh-grade, ten sixth-grade, and twenty fifth-grade alchemists!"

Fa Ma frowned and said, "Ten sixth-rank officials might be acceptable, but five seventh-rank officials, wouldn't that be a bit too many?"

"Currently, the entire Pill Hall has seven elders at the peak of the fifth rank. These elders should all be able to advance to the sixth rank within three years, but it will probably be very difficult for them to advance to the seventh rank!"

Mitchell nodded and said, "The higher the level of an alchemist, the harder it is to improve. There's probably not a single seventh-grade alchemist in the entire Northwest Continent!"

"Does not being able to find it mean we don't need to cultivate? If the Pill Hall wants to have a strong appeal, it must be strong itself. You have to be strong to forge iron!" Jiahe said in a deep voice.

Fa Ma said, "I will work hard. Although there are fewer sixth-rank pills in the Pill Hall at the moment, it should not be a problem to produce ten more sixth-rank pills in three years. As for seventh-rank pills, in addition to improving my own strength, I will also recruit from outside."

Gah said, "I've basically left the affairs of the Pill Hall to the Pharaoh. Besides, I'll frequently visit the Pill Hall to exchange pill-refining experiences and improve my own alchemy skills!"

Everyone was overjoyed. With Jiahe's help, they had a guide, which made things much better.

……

Night falls.

As Jiahe stepped out of the alchemy hall, he suddenly sensed an energy fluctuation coming from the back mountain. With a slight movement, he vanished from the spot.

There is a small courtyard on the summit of a mountain behind the mountain. It is surrounded by bamboo forests, and a gentle breeze rustles through the trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

When Jiahe arrived, he saw a beautiful figure wielding a long sword in the courtyard, her clothes fluttering in the moonlight, giving her a somewhat ethereal and aloof air.

Jiahe did not disturb Yunyun, but simply watched her practice swordsmanship quietly.

Suddenly, a thought struck Jiahe, and an ice sword appeared in his hand. He then appeared in the courtyard and rushed towards Yun Yun with the sword in hand.

Yun Yun was startled, but when she saw that it was Jia He, she relaxed. Seeing the sword in his hand, she smiled slightly and then leaped forward to stab Jia He.

The two mainly sparred, practicing their respective sword techniques in the back-and-forth exchanges.

Yun Yun swung her longsword, sending a wind blade sweeping towards Jiahe. Jiahe, in turn, thrust his longsword forward, and an ice lotus collided with the wind blade.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, the wind blade and the ice lotus vanished simultaneously.

At this moment, Yun Yun's wind attribute aura suddenly began to fluctuate, a sign that she was about to break through.

Jiahe sheathed his longsword and approached Yun Yun, saying, "Focus on your breakthrough; I will protect you!"

Yun Yun nodded slightly, then sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate with focused concentration, her hands forming hand seals.

Yun Yun had been stuck at the peak of the three-star Dou Huang realm for a long time, but unexpectedly found an opportunity to break through today.

Jiahe walked to the side and sat down, propping his head up as he looked at Yunyun.

As the night passed, Yun Yun's aura suddenly surged, and she successfully broke through to the realm of a four-star Dou Huang.

Jiahe, who had been sleeping on the stone table, woke up and looked at Yun Yun, asking, "Did you succeed?"

Yun Yun nodded and said, "Thank you!"

Gah laughed and said, "What are you thanking me for?"

"If you hadn't practiced swordsmanship with me, I probably wouldn't have found the opportunity to break through," Yun Yun said softly.

Jiahe stretched and said, "If you want to thank me, how about you come with me to the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun readily agreed, "Okay!"

The two walked down the mountain and soon arrived in the capital.

"What do you want to buy?" Yunyun asked.

Gah smiled and said, "Let's buy some food."

Jiahe led Yunyun through the winding streets of the capital until they arrived at a breakfast stall.

This was Yunyun's first time having breakfast in a place like this, and she found it quite novel.

"Do you usually eat these kinds of things?" Yunyun asked, taking a sip of congee.

Gah nodded and said, "Food is the most important thing for people, and the desire for food is something that ordinary people can't avoid. Isn't that a good thing?"

Yun Yun stared intently at Jia He, seemingly lost in thought.
