Supreme Lord of Towers

Celestial Pill Pavilion, within an antique-styled room.

Venerable Qingfeng was sitting beside a purple sandalwood table, engrossed in handling numerous dossiers.

As the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Pill Pavilion’s branch, he was extremely busy and had no time for trivial matters.

Only exceptionally significant events would require his attention.

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, a series of urgent knocks came from outside Venerable Qingfeng’s room.

”What’s going on? Didn’t I say not to disturb me while I’m working?” Venerable Qingfeng frowned, looking extremely displeased.

”Pavilion Master, it’s me.” From outside the room, an elder’s voice was immediately heard.

This elder was none other than Venerable Yuanming, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Pill Pavilion branch.

”So it’s the Grand Elder!” Venerable Qingfeng’s thoughts shifted, and the room’s door was instantly opened by an overwhelming telekinetic force.

Venerable Yuanming was the second most prestigious person in this Celestial Pill Pavilion branch besides him.

On ordinary days, many important affairs of the Celestial Pill Pavilion were handled by Venerable Yuanming.

Only matters that Venerable Yuanming couldn’t handle would be brought to Venerable Qingfeng.

Thus, intuition told Venerable Qingfeng that something major had indeed occurred.

”Pavilion Master, I have a Pill Formula here, and I’d like you to verify its authenticity.” The next moment, an elderly man with snowy white hair entered the room, using telekinesis to deliver a silver paper to Venerable Qingfeng.

”Oh! For Cang Province, such a small place, to have a Pill Formula that even the Grand Elder can’t identify? Interesting.” Venerable Qingfeng remarked with astonishment.

You see, Venerable Yuanming’s alchemical mastery was on par with his own, though not as high.

Moreover, Venerable Qingfeng was personally transferred from the Celestial Pill Pavilion headquarters, possessing extensive alchemical knowledge.

Hence, there weren’t many Pill Formulas in the world that he couldn’t recognize.

”Grand Elder, what’s so urgent that you had to call us over?”

”I was just in the middle of refining a batch of elixirs. To come here, that batch is probably ruined, what a waste.” At this point, several other strong figures hurried into Venerable Qingfeng’s room, their expressions filled with confusion.

These strong figures were all Elders of the Celestial Pill Pavilion branch, ranking higher than Lin Bei, the Chief Steward.

In fact, all significant affairs of the Celestial Pill Pavilion branch were decided by this group of Elders.

”Hehe, you’ll find out soon enough.” Venerable Yuanming’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.

”Grand Elder, you must have invited them here also to verify this Pill Formula’s authenticity! I’m quite curious to see what kind of Pill Formula it is that even you are taking so seriously.” Venerable Qingfeng said with keen interest, becoming increasingly curious about the Pill Formula.

Buzz!

The next moment, he inserted his divine thought into the silver paper, beginning to read its contents.

However, halfway through, his expression froze, and his eyes revealed intense shock.

”Peiyuan Pill, the materials recorded in this Pill Formula are for refining the Peiyuan Pill. Grand Elder, where exactly did you obtain this Pill Formula?” After a long moment, Venerable Qingfeng finally recovered from his shock and spoke with immense excitement.

”What? Peiyuan Pill? Isn’t that an elixir that has been lost for many years?”

”If such an elixir can still be refined today, it would undoubtedly bring unimaginable wealth to our Celestial Pill Pavilion.” The Elders of the Celestial Pill Pavilion trembled violently, almost unable to believe their ears.

”Pavilion Master, this Pill Formula was brought forth by Ye Chen, the unparalleled prodigy of your Azure Sky Immortal Sect.” The Grand Elder chuckled slightly.

”Ye Chen, that young lad, how could this be possible?” Venerable Qingfeng’s pupils contracted sharply, his entire body stiffening, filled with utter disbelief.

He initially thought Ye Chen was just a cultivator from the Mortal Realm without any background.

But now it seemed this young man was far more mysterious than he had imagined.

”Pavilion Master, can you discern the authenticity of this Pill Formula? If it truly is the Pill Formula for Peiyuan Pill, the benefits it could bring to our Celestial Pill Pavilion would be astounding! And for uncovering this Pill Formula, we would gain significant benefits.” Venerable Yuanming said with fervent eyes.

It’s worth noting that the Peiyuan Pill, in ancient times, was renowned, coveted by countless Divine Mansion Realm experts.

If the Celestial Pill Pavilion could indeed refine such an elixir, it would undoubtedly become an invaluable market hit.

By then, the profits for the Celestial Pill Pavilion would be unimaginable.

And Venerable Yuanming, Venerable Qingfeng, and others would surely gain recognition from the Celestial Pill Pavilion headquarters, with both their wealth and status rising accordingly.

How could Venerable Yuanming not be tempted?

”Grand Elder, let me see this Pill Formula quickly.”

”If this Pill Formula is indeed real, then aren’t we bound for success?” The other Elders of the Celestial Pill Pavilion were all extremely excited, their faces flushed red much like the impact of a powerful tonic.

Soon, they all read through the contents of the silver paper, all concluding that the recorded materials were indeed for refining the Peiyuan Pill.

However, merely knowing the materials was useless.

There were many in this world who knew these materials, yet no one could refine the Peiyuan Pill.

Because the method to refine the Peiyuan Pill was completely lost.

”Gentlemen, I advise you against celebrating prematurely! Yes, most of the materials recorded in this Pill Formula are indeed for refining Peiyuan Pill, but don’t forget, there are many alchemy masters like us who know these materials! Ye Chen might have learned of them from some alchemy master.” At this moment, Venerable Qingfeng suddenly sneered.

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the Elders of the Celestial Pill Pavilion, turning their faces extremely sour.

”The Pavilion Master speaks the truth, alas! Looks like we were overthinking.”

”The Peiyuan Pill has been lost for so many years, how could a mere Divine Mansion Realm cultivator obtain it? This Pill Formula is most likely a fake.” The Elders of the Celestial Pill Pavilion sighed, their expressions dejected to the extreme.

”Hmph! That Ye Chen has some nerve, daring to fool us, who gave him such courage?” An Elder with a fiery temper couldn’t help but roar, as if greatly deceived.
