153: Chapter 152 The Three Giants of the Pill Tower[Xuan Yi, is she an auntie or a big sister?]

If it weren’t for the key answers Chen Yang had provided in the livestream earlier, Xuan Kongzi would never have been able to obtain the supreme liquid.

For him, a peak Dou Zun expert, that supreme liquid was simply an unparalleled treasure.

Without the aid of the supreme liquid, it would have been harder than ascending to heaven for Xuan Kongzi to break through to the One-Star Dou Sheng realm.

And it was precisely because he successfully broke through this critical realm that Xuan Kongzi’s own strength achieved a qualitative leap, also allowing the prestige and strength of the entire Pill Tower to reach an unprecedented peak.

Today, the Pill Tower’s influence in the Central Plains is at its zenith, and its reputation is widespread.

Those Dou Zun experts who yearn to improve their strength and pursue higher Alchemist realms have flocked here, wanting to join the Pill Tower to seek better development opportunities.

This has caused the number of experts in the Pill Tower to increase dramatically; today, Holy Pill City has become extremely prosperous due to the prosperity of the Pill Tower, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys, bustling with activity.

It is precisely because of this that as soon as Chen Yang and his group stepped into the territory of Holy Pill City, they immediately attracted the attention of the Pill Tower’s experts.

Five Dou Zun experts mobilized instantly and quickly intercepted them.

You must know that in the past, although the Pill Tower had extraordinary strength, those used to guard the city gates were merely Dou Zong.

But today, with the increase in strength and the expansion of scale, every gate of Holy Pill City is guarded by one Five-Star Dou Zun, plus four One-Star to Four-Star Dou Zun experts, which is enough to show the current immense strength of the Pill Tower.

Not only that, the current Pill Tower has also carefully assembled a group of twenty peak Dou Zun elders.

Although these elders are not Alchemists by trade, each one of them is a renowned expert in the Central Plains.

After all, those who can cultivate to the peak Dou Zun realm are all geniuses with extraordinary talent who have gone through countless hardships.

Although they are only ordinary peak Nine-Star Dou Zun and not Nine-Turn peak experts, their strength cannot be underestimated.

And within the Pill Tower, there are also a dozen or so Dou Zun experts from the first to the ninth turn.

The reason these experts are willing to join the Pill Tower is mainly because the Pill Tower now possesses abundant pill resources.

For their own cultivation, and even more so to ensure their descendants can obtain better cultivation resources, they have all joined the Pill Tower to serve it.

Following his breakthrough in strength, Xuan Kongzi also made a major breakthrough in his alchemy skills, successfully becoming a Ninth-Grade Alchemist.

However, the difficulty of refining a Ninth Grade Pill is extremely high, and the failure rate remains consistently high.

To this day, he has only successfully refined one Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, and it was a relatively easier Ninth Grade Pill to refine at that.

Xuan Kongzi collected his thoughts, his heart filled with gratitude and anticipation for Chen Yang.

He immediately took Xuan Yi, Tian Leizi, and Dan Chengzi and hurried to the main gate, preparing to welcome Chen Yang’s arrival.

Their steps were hurried, and their hearts were filled with respect for Chen Yang.

Before they even appeared, Xuan Kongzi’s hearty laughter came from afar: ”Haha, Brother Chen Yang, thank you so much.”

As the sound faded, the group appeared directly in front of Chen Yang, not far away.

Chen Yang looked at them, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He saw that the newcomers were two men and one woman.

The man standing in the middle had purple hair cascading down like a waterfall and was wearing a gorgeous white and purple robe embroidered with exquisite patterns.

His face was handsome, and his temperament was extraordinary, but compared to Chen Yang, he was still a notch lower.

However, what was most impossible to ignore was the powerful aura radiating from his entire body; it was the majesty belonging to a One-Star Dou Sheng expert, an elusive presence that seemed capable of making the surrounding space tremble.

The second person was a middle-aged man with thick, neat black hair and a beard covering his face, giving one a sense of composure and grandeur.

His clothing was similar in style to the man in the middle, and he also radiated a unique aura, though his presence was slightly weaker than the man in the middle, clearly also a formidable peak Dou Zun expert.

The third person was a woman wearing a dress interwoven with white and purple, the material of which was light and elegant, as if woven from clouds and mist.

Her chest was prominent, her figure graceful, and her face was as exquisite as a painting, not much different from the likes of Gu Yuena.

However, the gaze she directed at Chen Yang revealed a powerful aura, making one dare not underestimate her.

Chen Yang pondered to himself, thinking that these must be the three giants of the Pill Tower.

When his gaze landed on Xuan Yi, he couldn’t help but secretly admire Yao Chen’s taste; Xuan Yi’s beauty and temperament actually matched his, Chen Yang’s, aesthetic sensibilities to some extent.

”Haha, Brother Chen Yang, trust you have been well. I am one of the giants of the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi.”

Xuan Kongzi said with a smile, slowly stepping forward. His smile was sincere and warm, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Subsequently, he raised his finger toward the middle-aged man beside him and introduced: ”This is one of the giants of the Pill Tower, Tian Leizi.”

Next, he pointed to the only woman among the three and said: ”This is also one of the giants of the Pill Tower, Xuan Yi.”

Seeing this, Chen Yang immediately cupped his hands in a salute and said with proper demeanor: ”I have long heard of the great names of everyone in the Pill Tower. The few behind me are all my wives.”

Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Gu Yuena, and the others also successively stated their names, their voices crisp and melodious: ”Greetings to the three giants.”

”Haha, Brother Chen Yang, you are incredibly handsome, and your wives are all stunningly beautiful; you are truly a perfect match.”

Xuan Kongzi looked at Chen Yang, nodding continuously, his face full of admiration.

However, once he thought of his disciple Cao Ying still being infatuated with Chen Yang, he couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for her.

After all, the appearance and temperament of these women before him were not the least bit inferior to Cao Ying.

”Come, Brother Chen Yang, let’s go inside and chat.”

Xuan Kongzi enthusiastically invited him, and subsequently led Chen Yang and his group to an incomparably magnificent reception hall.

Inside the hall, the decoration was luxurious and elegant; the surrounding walls were inlaid with various precious gems, emitting a soft light.

The floor was paved with smooth, beautiful jade, reflecting the figures of everyone.

After everyone was seated, Xuan Kongzi spoke first, looking at Chen Yang with a sincere gaze as he asked: ”May I ask if Brother Chen Yang has come to the Pill Tower this time to participate in the Pill Gathering?”

”Yes.”

Chen Yang nodded, his gaze firm, not denying the purpose of this trip.

Xuan Kongzi looked at Chen Yang and said with deep emotion: ”It seems that the first place in this Pill Gathering will definitely be yours.”

He paused slightly, then continued: ”According to what Yao Chen said, Brother Chen Yang, you were able to refine Eighth Grade Pills capable of attracting Three-Colored Pill Lightning several years ago. Is this true?”

Chen Yang did not refute, but simply nodded calmly, his expression revealing a sense of confidence and composure.

Seeing that Chen Yang did not deny it, Xuan Kongzi couldn’t help but exclaim: ”Truly an outstanding talent! Back when I was your age, I was only a Seventh-Rank Alchemist. I didn’t expect Brother Chen Yang to be able to refine Eighth Grade Pills at such a young age.”

Chen Yang just smiled and agreed, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking that his current alchemy skills were far beyond that.

If Xuan Kongzi knew that he was already a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, he would probably be so shocked his jaw would drop.
