The Elder was shocked . He had attacked a superior! He would be gravely punished .
“There’s no time to explain! To save Protector Zhuo, I, Long San, will take on all the responsibility for this,” promised Long Chen righteously .
The Elder praised, “Good, to care so deeply about relationship, it’s no wonder Protector Zhuo views you so highly and a Grand Elder would take you as their final apprentice . They both must view your moral character highly . ”
Exactly, his moral character was truly impeccable . He even admired himself for this quality of his .
“Elder, help me open the door, quick!” urged Long Chen . The rumbling outside was growing more and more intense . The Alldevil monster was clearly in a bitter battle .
This was Pill Valley, a place with countless formations and experts . Although that monster was terrifying, Pill Valley wasn’t so worthless . He didn’t have a good opinion of the monster’s chances .
The stone gate slowly opened . The Elder said, “Those medicines are located-”
“I know where they are . Don’t worry about it!”
Long Chen rushed on through . After a large corridor, he saw a huge underground space .
This space was thousands of miles long and was brimming with shelves filled with jade bottles . These jade bottles were spatial storage items . Inside were matured medicinal ingredients .
Each shelf explained the name, tier, age, quality, and other information about the medicines stored in it . That made it convenient for disciples to take them out .
“Blazing Dragon Cauldron, get to work!”
He directly tossed the shelves into the primal chaos space, not even looking at what he was taking in . His goal was simply to take everything .
On his own, he was too slow . The Blazing Dragon Cauldron had its own space and could draw in objects .
There were far too many precious medicines here . Long Chen couldn’t even get them all . The Blazing Dragon Cauldron appeared, and it began to suck in the shelves . They shrank as they entered the cauldron, and it was even faster at gathering them than Long Chen .
In truth, these shelves had formations protecting them . Let alone taking a whole shelf, even taking ten different medicines would cause an alarm .
However, Long Chen was benefitting from the Alldevil monster . Its rampage had destroyed the formations protecting the Thousand Treasure Pavilion . That was why there was no alarm .
These medicines were split into different regions, and the ones below the ninth tier were so worthless that Long Chen didn’t even have time to get them .
The Thousand Treasure Pavilion was split into two areas . One was the place to store medicinal ingredients, and the other stored medicinal pills . After plundering the medicinal ingredients, he turned to the medicinal pills .
This region wasn’t very large . There were only a hundred shelves . Because pills were small, a single bottle could store over a thousand of them, and each shelf had tens of thousands of bottles on it . If these medicinal pills were taken out, they would form a mountain .
“There’s still something behind this door?” Just as Long Chen took all the shelves, he saw a stone door behind where they had been . It was protected by runes, but those runes were now dim .
Long Chen split the stone door with a fiery-red sword . Without a formation protecting it, this stone door was extremely weak in front of an Ancestral item .
Long Chen praised Qu Dajiang’s Ancestral item . It really wasn’t bad . After it had been suppressed by the Blazing Dragon Cauldron, he had placed a slave mark on it and could use it .
The stone door split apart, revealing a room inside . It wasn’t a very large room, but the walls were covered in small cases . These cases had runes revolving around them, and they twinkled like stars .
“This is the Star Condensing Pill Formation!” Long Chen was shocked . He looked up, and as expected, there was an image of a starry sky above . But this image was very dim . Clearly, it wasn’t working any longer .
Long Chen opened one of the cases, and a small monkey shot out . Its body rapidly grew to become a three-meter furious golden monkey .
It immediately attacked Long Chen . When Long Chen met its punch with his own fist, he was knocked back half a step . He hadn’t expected it to be so powerful .
It had to be known that he had now reached the Jade Core realm, and ordinary Jade Core experts wouldn’t be able to even endure a single punch from him .
The monkey roared furiously and attacked once more . Long Chen snorted and used the power of his 108,000 stars . This time, his punch blew apart the monkey .
After a burst of golden light faded, it revealed a small medicinal pill rolling on the ground . Long Chen picked it up . “Tenth tier pill - Tyrannical Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill?”
His Pill Sovereign memories floated up . He could only recall how to refine this pill but not how to use it .
In the Eastern Wasteland, Long Chen had known very little about alchemy . He had learned that the alchemist ranks were Pill Apprentice, Pill Adept, Pill Master, Pill King, Pill Emperor, Pill Ancestor, Pill Venerate, Pill Saint, and Pill Sovereign . Pill Sovereign was supposed to correlate with the ninth tier . In other words, the peak was supposed to be the ninth rank .
However, after arriving in Pill Valley, he had learned that this knowledge had been nothing more than the sayings of the secular world . The truth was that no one dared to call themselves anything greater than a Pill Ancestor .
This related to the secrets of the Pill Dao . Nowadays, the alchemy ranks came to a stop at the Pill Ancestor level . No one dared to call themselves a Pill Saint, let alone a Pill Sovereign . It was like the alchemy path had been severed .
Within Pill Valley, he had found ancient texts that had mentioned the rank of Pill Sovereign . Those texts were very vague, but they seemed to be saying that Pill Sovereigns were on the same level as those great martial Sovereigns of the past .
However, there were no details . He had gone through all the ancient texts he could read, but hadn’t found anything else .
After learning the second volume of the Nirvana Scripture, many things that hadn’t been there before had appeared in Long Chen’s mind . However, right now, he couldn’t go through all of them .
He found that only when he advanced to a certain level would some pill formulas appear in his mind . And it just so happened that those new pill formulas would be the ones that he needed the most at the time .
Even he himself didn’t know how far the path of an alchemist could go . So seeing a tenth tier pill shocked him .
This was a tenth tier pill, and it had been nourished for who knew how many years under the formation . Its medicinal energy had reached a shocking level, and it had even given birth to a spirit that possessed great power .
“I’ve struck gold!”
Long Chen recovered from his shock and immediately took away all the cases on the wall . Now it was about time to go . If he took too long, that Elder would get suspicious .
He immediately ran out and then handed over two kinds of medicines . “I won’t make things hard on you . See, they are the two that I took . ”
The Elder checked them and confirmed that they were the ones Long Chen had mentioned . They were medicines that could save someone whose soul was about to disperse .
“How could I not trust you? Hurry up and go save Protector Zhuo!”
Long Chen nodded . “Many thanks . Once Protector Zhuo heals, I will definitely tell him about your contribution . Goodbye!”
Long Chen left, and the Elder was delighted . If Protector Zhuo remembered him, he would be assigned to a much better spot than this place .
He didn’t know that he had just caused a huge calamity .
When Long Chen left the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, he sensed the spatial fluctuations were growing more and more intense . In the distance, terrifying runes were flying . There was a formation forming a barrier there now, and the space inside was completely chaotic, making it impossible to see what was going on .
He jumped to the top of a pavilion and looked around . He saw that several wide new ‘streets’ had appeared in Pill Valley .
Those were the masterpieces of the Alldevil monster . Now Pill Valley looked like the mane of a beautiful lion that had randomly had parts of its hair clipped away . It looked extremely ugly .
All of Pill Valley was empty now . The disciples were hiding, and even Soul Transformation experts were gone . In a battle of this level, only Life Star experts were qualified to participate .
“Let’s see if I can get some more profit . ”
Long Chen truly wanted to see just who was stronger, Pill Valley or the Alldevil monster .
In any case, he was the only one to come out of the Heaven Dragon Flame Region, and no one here knew what had happened . He wasn’t worried about being exposed .
He also found that while the pot ignored him, it would still come out to help him at a critical time . The Alldevil monster had almost killed him when it had unleashed its aura, and it was the pot that had come out to protect him . That meant the pot was actually loyal . That gave him quite a bit of confidence .
Most importantly, Long Chen wanted to know just what enmity the Alldevil monster had with Lord Brahma . It seemed to have been used by him . What kind of secret did this relate to?
He was also very curious about the Nirvana Scripture . Based on its name, it seemed to be a divine technique created by Lord Brahma . But why was it that when he saw his statue, he was so disgusted?
Long Chen slowly approached the battle . Immediately, astral winds buffeted him, almost blowing him away .
“Damn, it’s even stronger than I thought!”
Long Chen could only push his way forward slowly until he found a good place to watch . This seemed to be the base of a building . The building had been blown away, but there was still a stone pillar remaining to hide behind . The astral winds were like blades cutting his skin, causing him to clench his teeth in pain .
Once a burst of wind passed, Long Chen stealthily stuck out his head . He couldn’t help sucking in a cold gasp of air .
