141: Chapter 141 Pill Tower

"Bang!" Li Shizhen pointed a finger, and Li Xian exploded directly at Li Yuanfeng's feet.

"I hope Fellow Daoist Lin isn't laughing at me..." He smiled at Lin Bei with some embarrassment, as if he had merely crushed an ant to death.

Lin Bei gave him a meaningful look and returned a smile. "Fellow Daoist Li, your hand is too heavy! A slight punishment would have sufficed..."

This old thing is definitely a smiling tiger. Lin Bei was certain that if given the chance, he would strike at him without the slightest hesitation.

"Hehe... Offending Fellow Daoist Lin is a crime punishable by death!" Li Shizhen remained full of smiles.

At this moment, one of the thirteen Saints who had appeared later stepped forward.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I am Dan Chen, Grand Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion. I hope you can move to the Alchemy Pavilion and give me a chance to fulfill the duties of a host!"

Since these Saints appeared, Lin Bei had already noticed this person.

His aura was more powerful than most of the Saints Lin Bei had encountered.

"May I ask what Realm Fellow Daoist Dan Chen is in?" Lin Bei asked directly.

"Hahaha..." Saint Dan Chen laughed loudly. "The Lord of the Heavenly Court is indeed straightforward. Three thousand years ago, I was fortunate enough to enter the Saint Late Stage!"

Hearing this, Lin Bei felt tempted. He really wanted to perform a Supreme Self-Detonation to see if he could blow up a Saint Late Stage powerhouse in his current state. Unfortunately, the other party did not seem to have any malice at the moment, and the System prompt was slow to appear.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin can grant me this Face?" Dan Chen invited again.

"Alright then..." Lin Bei had his own plans.

Whether Qin Xiaobo's grandfather was in the Dan Realm, or if he had ever been to the Dan Realm, was too troublesome to investigate on his own. If he let the Alchemy Pavilion help, it would be much simpler.

An hour later.

They were still in the tall tower where the fifteen Alchemy Pavilion Elders had held their discussion meeting earlier.

At the sumptuous banquet, Lin Bei and Dan Chen sat in the seats of honor, while the other fourteen Alchemy Pavilion Elders sat below.

During the exchange, regardless of whether it was genuine or fake, everyone was passionate, and even Li Yuanfeng, who had just lost a junior Disciple, was no exception. Lin Bei naturally feigned compliance, and the scene was very harmonious.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, since you have come to my Dan Realm, are you also quite interested in the art of Alchemy?" Dan Chen suddenly asked.

"This... I have a little interest, but not much. I'm mainly here to accompany my girlfriend!"

Girlfriend?

The Saints present looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what that was.

Lin Bei directly summoned Qin Xiaobo to sit beside him. "Fellow Daoists, do not be confused. This is my girlfriend!"

"So Fellow Daoist Lin was referring to a Dao Companion..." These Saints were slightly speechless.

If she was a Dao Companion, just say Dao Companion, why say girlfriend... Lin Bei naturally saw their thoughts and coughed lightly without saying much.

He was too lazy to explain the difference to these old men.

"Fellow Daoists, my girlfriend is quite interested in the Dao of Alchemy. If you don't mind, you can exchange ideas with her..."

He could see at a glance that these old men wanted to steer the topic towards their own line of work. He had no interest in that, and he had called Qin Xiaobo out to serve as a shield.

"This..." Dan Chen and the others naturally looked down on Qin Xiaobo and did not feel that she had the qualifications to exchange ideas with them.

However, out of respect for Lin Bei's Face, they had to pretend to speak. Forget it, just consider it giving the Lord of the Heavenly Court some Face by instructing this little girl.

However, after less than a quarter of an hour of conversation, everyone's expression became serious.

"Miss Qin, are you saying that the Nine-Yang Saint Pill should not be refined at the moment of extreme Yang? Instead, one should choose the time of extreme Yin?"

"It makes sense! It makes sense!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, according to your theory, the grafting method for the Red Cloud Mist Grass should be..."

"Wonderful! Wonderful..."

Lin Bei listened, stunned, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

Feeling bored, he walked to the window and looked outside.

What caught his eye was another tall tower not far away. This tower was much taller than the one Lin Bei was currently in, with a full eighty-one levels.

He watched for a long time but did not see a single person entering or leaving.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, that is the Alchemy Tower, and it is the foundation of the entire Holy Alchemy City." Saint Dan Chen walked to his side and introduced it.

"Oh?" Lin Bei asked curiously. "Is the foundation of the Holy Alchemy City not the Alchemy Pavilion led by Fellow Daoist Dan Chen?"

Dan Chen smiled bitterly. "Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't humble me. Before the Holy Alchemy City and even the entire Dan Realm existed, the Alchemy Tower was already standing here..."

"It was precisely because of it that the later Dan Realm and Holy Alchemy City came into being!"

"There is such a thing?" Lin Bei was slightly surprised. He really didn't know about this before. "I wonder what is so strange about this Alchemy Tower?"

Dan Chen laughed. "Fellow Daoist Lin, you have come at the right time. Today is the first day of the lunar month!"

He continued to explain, "On the nights of the first and fifteenth of the lunar month, the Alchemy Tower will emit a radiance that covers the entire Holy Alchemy City. At that time, the success rate of Alchemy can be increased by three times!"

"Three times?" Lin Bei was a bit surprised; the effect was quite astonishing.

Dan Chen nodded. "Every month, when these two times arrive, a grand occasion of tens of thousands of alchemists refining pills together will appear in the Holy Alchemy City. Since Fellow Daoist Lin has not seen it, you can take a look in the evening."

At this moment, another Saint approached. From the previous introductions, Lin Bei knew that this person was the Second Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion.

The Second Elder smiled and said, "Grand Elder, I wonder if that Old Madman will come to break into the Alchemy Tower today?"

"Old Madman? Breaking into the Alchemy Tower?" Lin Bei looked at the two with questions.

"Fellow Daoist Lin might not know," the Second Elder explained. "For the past year, an Old Madman has appeared in the Holy Alchemy City, and he comes to break into the Alchemy Tower almost every first and fifteenth of the month..."

"What are the benefits of breaking into the Alchemy Tower?" Lin Bei asked curiously.

"There are no benefits..." The Second Elder shook his head, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious. "There is only one legend!"

"Whoever reaches the top of the Alchemy Tower can become the Lord of the Alchemy Way!"

"Lord of the Alchemy Way?" Lin Bei secretly gasped; this is quite a big pie!

"Can't you fly up this tower?" He asked again.

Saint Dan Chen smiled. "Ancient records state that several Great Emperors have tried it, and not one of them could fly into the Alchemy Tower from the outside!"

"That's not right!" The Second Elder quickly reminded him. "There is an exception..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Dan Chen slapped his forehead. "I'm getting old and muddled. Unless it is the Alchemy Attendant selected by the Alchemy Tower, but even the Alchemy Attendant can only fly directly into the sixty-sixth level of the Alchemy Tower!"

"Is there an Alchemy Attendant in the tower now?" Lin Bei couldn't be bothered to ask what an Alchemy Attendant did; it had nothing to do with him.

Dan Chen and the Second Elder nodded at the same time. "This Alchemy Attendant was selected by the Alchemy Tower more than six hundred years ago. Originally, everything was normal; she could enter and exit the sixty-sixth level of the Alchemy Tower at any time and bring back some insights into the Dao of Alchemy."

"Until more than three hundred years ago, when she returned from outside, the Ninth Elder on duty at the time discovered that she had actually lost her virginity! You must know that the Alchemy Pavilion had long ago stipulated that Alchemy Attendants must not engage in Dual Cultivation with others, so as not to defile the Alchemy Tower!"

"Uh... this..." These were other people's rules, and Lin Bei was too embarrassed to comment much.

"Later, when the Ninth Elder was furious and intended to kill her, she caught him off guard and hid directly in the Alchemy Tower, and she hasn't come out since..."

Lin Bei was speechless and asked instead, "With that legend around, why don't I see anyone going to break into the Alchemy Tower? It should be an endless stream of people, right?"

"How can there be such a cheap thing..." Dan Chen sighed lightly. "Every time you break into the Alchemy Tower, you need a Saint-Grade Medicinal Pill as a guide!"

"Moreover, breaking into the Alchemy Tower is extremely difficult. With my attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, I can only stop at the fifty-second level..."

"So that's how it is..." Lin Bei nodded.

As they spoke, the sky had already darkened.

Suddenly, a green radiance spread leisurely from the spire of the Alchemy Tower, enveloping the entire Holy Alchemy City.

From all directions, bursts of medicinal fragrance immediately wafted over; clearly, the people in the city were well prepared.

Just at this moment, a burst of slightly crazed laughter came from below the Alchemy Tower.

"Yun Yan! I'm here! I'm here again! Wait for me! Wait for me..."
