”What’s going on? Wasn’t I entering the Inheritance Palace of the Yee Hua Pill King? What is this place, an illusion realm? But why does it seem so real...” Jiang Wanli’s eyes were filled with intense astonishment as he anxiously looked around. This illusion realm was unbelievably real! So real that it made him somewhat afraid.

”Heh.” At this moment, a faint chuckle came, causing Jiang Wanli’s face to freeze, turning grim and ashen. Chen Fei looked at him with a sneer, mocking, ”Weren’t you quite eager to obtain this inheritance before? Why now, do I sense some fear in you? Do you think all this is making you nervous?”

”Shut up!” Jiang Wanli roared in anger, glaring at Chen Fei with vicious eyes filled with chilling malice, saying, ”You little beast, do you think just because you followed me into this Inheritance Palace, you can snatch the inheritance of the Yee Hua Pill King from me? I’m telling you, it’s a dream! Understand, a dream!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei calmly chuckled, not bothering to engage with the irrational Jiang Wanli. This place, this Inheritance Palace, this so-called inheritance of the Yee Hua Pill King, indeed seems not simple, but what has that got to do with him?

His purpose, from beginning to end, was only the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo. Nothing more.

”You...” Seeing Chen Fei ignoring him, Jiang Wanli’s heart surged with boundless humiliation, resentment, and anger! Immediately, his expression twisted and contorted with malice, his eyes filled with hostility, malevolence sprouting everywhere.

With a sneer, he suddenly clenched his palm, and a symbol light orb appeared in his hand. Then with a shake of his arm, the orb shot out viciously.

Boom! Among the light orb was a cold force, and while still in mid-air, an extremely icy danger locked onto Chen Fei. Immediately, Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed sharply, raising his palm, ready to retaliate.

Whish... But at this moment, an invisible light shield blocked the orb silently, as if melting ice and snow, disappearing without a trace!

”What... damn it!” Jiang Wanli’s face changed, realizing only then that he was standing on a platform surrounded by an almost transparent light cover, which wasn’t noticeable unless closely observed.

And just now, the thing that blocked his sneak attack on Chen Fei was precisely the transparent shield of this platform...

Upon discovering the transparent shield, Chen Fei was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and shrugged, saying, ”Looks like inside here, you can’t do anything to me, tch tch, what a pity.”

”Hmph!” Jiang Wanli’s expression turned blue and white, almost grinding his teeth to pieces but to no avail. Meanwhile, a roar like a giant dragon resounded, making the whole vast plaza full of clamoring heads erupt into complete chaos.

Endless heads, the sound of clamoring to the point of rupturing eardrums, intertwined into an extremely lively and grand blueprint of a fair! And from the thunderous uproar that seemed to lift the dome, Chen Fei keenly caught two words.

”Pill Gathering?” Chen Fei’s eyes flickered. Pill Gathering, a very ordinary name, but now it seemed to represent an extraordinary scene! The lively scene that resembled a grand gathering all originated from these two words ’Pill Gathering’.

Buzz~buzz~buzz...

At this moment, the seat at the highest position in the plaza suddenly had space fluctuations, and elderly figures with profound auras appeared, prompting a thunderous cheer from the endless sea of people in the plaza!

Numerous eyes filled with reverence, admiration, and fervor abruptly turned to the elderly figures among the highest seats! Everyone was visibly excited.

”Boom!”

”Look! Those are the giants of the Pill Saint City. Those qualified to sit there, at least, are Grandmasters of the Alchemy Dao...”

”What! Grandmasters of the Alchemy Dao? So many... No wonder the Pill Saint City is the Holy Land of Pil Path in our Triple Emperor Domain! Such a foundation, it’s truly terrifying.”

”Indeed, not just those giants, even now the competitors on this stage, those who were here in their past lives, it’s likely nine out of ten in the future will ascend to the Grandmaster of Pill Path status! Just thinking about it is somewhat terrifying.”

...

The bubbling clamor, these whispers.

”Alchemy Dao Grandmaster!?” Though Jiang Wanli didn’t know what Pill Saint City is, he was very clear on what an Alchemy Dao Grandmaster is! Just these four words made his eyes instantly filled with unparalleled fervor and greed.

He clenched his fists tightly, greedily muttering, ”This Yee Hua Pill King’s inheritance, Jiang Wanli must obtain it! Must!”

”Grandmaster of the Alchemy Dao? Pill Saint City Giants?” At the same time, when those so-called ’Pill Saint City giants’ appeared, seated in the highest position, even Chen Fei felt an oppressive and grand aura spreading, very intimidating. His gaze turned to that highest seat, murmuring.

”What? Can’t see their faces?” But then, Chen Fei’s expression faltered because he found he couldn’t see the faces of the mighty figures seated on that highest seat?

His gaze swept across the faces of those mighty figures of the Pill Saint City whose faces he couldn’t see, and suddenly, his pupils constricted fiercely, a chilling sensation surging from within him!

Because when his gaze landed on the fifth person at the highest seat, a pair of eyes began to calmly meet his stare. Those eyes were very bright, as deep as the ocean, shining with brilliance, what kind of eyes are they!

Chen Fei’s face changed, feeling an involuntary surge of astonishment, shock, and insignificance inside his heart. At the same time, the owner of the eyes on the highest seat, a man dressed in white, appearing gentle and weak, with a scholarly aura and an elegant temperament, slightly paused then uttered a gentle exclamation.

”Did you notice? This little guy really has a keen sense,” the man in white, with an elegant temperament, self-murmured with a light chuckle, then slowly stood up.

”Silence!”

The calm voice, like a clear spring, rang in everyone’s ears!

Immediately, the previously noisy square in the distance quieted down. Everyone looked fervently at the man in white, as expected, they all knew that the main event of this grand Pill Association was finally coming up.

”Firstly, congratulations to those of you standing here. Being able to successfully step onto this stage means you have already reached the final platform of the Pill Association of Pill Saint City!”

The white-clothed man’s eyes seemed to have some reminiscing and reflection. Ignoring Chen Fei and Jianng Wanli, these two living beings, he slowly spoke to those remaining on the eight high platforms.

And the figures on those eight high platforms are just like the Pill Saint City big shots on the highest seat! Although they have bodies, each with sharp features and an imposing aura, their faces are blurred and indiscernible.

As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul! Enlarging the perspective a little, the face is also like that. Everyone’s face is unique, yet those people have no face, proving they are mere illusions, not real people.

Meanwhile, the man in white began to slowly speak again.

”But you also know, the upcoming round is the pinnacle battle that is most important in our Pill Association of Pill Saint City! The one who remains until the end will be the champion of this session’s Pill Association!”

”Ladies and gentlemen, reaching the point where you are standing now is already an unparalleled honor, but the champion is only one! In the centennial Pill Association of Earth Martial City, only one person can stand out and be remembered through history, so no matter who, today, please fully demonstrate your most flourishing strength!”

”This moment will become the most dazzling and brilliant moment of your life! Good luck, champion!”

”Boom!”

”Champion!”

”Champion!”

...

A short speech, as if igniting a barrel of gunpowder, instantly, this world boiled! Whether it was the people on the platform or the spectators below, at this moment, everyone’s blood surged.

Looking at the familiar yet strange bustling, boiling scene before him, the man in white showed a reminiscing smile, then shook his head bitterly, his gaze finally fell on Chen Fei and Jianng Wanli. After appraising them for a while, he spoke lightly.

”Are the two of you here seeking the alchemy inheritance of mine, Yee Hua?”

These words, close to reality, caused Jianng Wanli’s gaze to shrink suddenly, followed by an eruption of terrifying fervor and greed, becoming excited.

Only to see his gaze, fervently looking at the man in white, then he respectfully clasped his fists and said aloud, ”I am Jianng Wanli, replenished to the realm of King Level Alchemist... Long have I heard of the great name of Yee Hua Pill King senior, you were once the pride of our Qiannan Ancient Kingdom Alchemist lineage. Jianng Wanli, though unworthy, if given your alchemy inheritance, would spread the Pill Path as you have, not failing the glory of our Dao.”

This Jianng Wanli is evidently a hypocritical person. As the saying goes, ’A thousand gratitudes seldom miss,’ starting out with such fluent flattery, hoping to make the man in white, known as Yee Hua Pill King, have a favorable impression of him...

If it were a person who enjoyed flattery, perhaps he would have been caught in his trap, but unhappy about Yee Hua Pill King, upon hearing, he slightly wrinkled his brow.

Then, his gaze fell on Chen Fei’s face, his eyes shimmering, and he said, ”And you?”

”Me?” Chen Fei lifted his eyelid, shrugged and chuckled, ”Senior, if I told you I entered by chance, and this is not my ambition, would you believe me?”

”Hmm?” Even Yee Hua Pill King was stunned, staring blankly at Chen Fei, not seeking the alchemy inheritance of his own Yee Hua under the premise of knowing his identity?

Is it possible that he is not an alchemist?

But if this is the case, how did this person come into this Inheritance Palace of his!?
