145: Chapter 145 Yang Guo

Lin Bei led Qin Xiaobo and followed closely behind.

Seeing the situation on the sixty-sixth floor, Lin Bei was stunned.

He then turned his head to look at the Old Medicine Immortal.

The old man was already in tears, murmuring, "Yun Yan..."

The first sixty-five floors of the Alchemy Tower were just empty lofts.

This sixty-sixth floor, however, was thousands of times larger; towering trees reached for the sky, and clouds swirled about. It didn't seem like they were still inside a tower, but rather in the middle of a forest.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Mutual love is truly enviable!" Lin Bei couldn't help but sigh.

It was clear that this place must have been arranged by that "Yun Yan" to resemble a misty forest, likely because she couldn't stop thinking about the Old Medicine Immortal.

The corners of Qin Xiaobo's mouth curled up as she summoned her courage, which was rare. "What's wrong? Aren't we mutually in love?"

At a time like this, even though girls like Luo Qingcheng, Shangguan Yue, and Wang Shirui were waiting for him, Lin Bei couldn't ruin the atmosphere.

He looked at Qin Xiaobo with deep affection. "Of course we are! Otherwise, with so many women in the Desolate Ancient Continent using bathtubs to bathe, why did I happen to..."

Qin Xiaobo didn't care about her lady-like image and covered Lin Bei's mouth with her hand, preventing him from saying the rest.

Mmm mmm mmm... Is this something that can be said aloud?

She stole a glance at the Old Medicine Immortal and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he hadn't reacted.

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Bei moved her jade-like hand from his mouth and placed it on his shoulder. "Looking at your grandfather's state, he probably wouldn't notice even if we did something right here..."

"You!" She punched Lin Bei's chest with her small fist.

At that moment, the dazed Old Medicine Immortal finally moved, walking toward the southeast of the forest.

After walking for only a few miles through the thick fog, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

Lin Bei and Qin Xiaobo, who were following behind, looked ahead. Vaguely, a small thatched hut was hidden in the mist.

Whoosh! A figure darted out from the hut and stood before the three of them.

"Guo... Guo'er, is it you?" The woman's voice trembled.

The Old Medicine Immortal stared blankly at the woman. After a long time, he spoke with a trembling voice, "Yun Yan, Yun Yan, it's me, it's Guo'er!"

"Sister Xiaobo, what is your grandfather's name?" Lin Bei asked curiously.

"Grandfather's name is Qin Wuguo..." A hint of a blush appeared on Qin Xiaobo's face. "This Senior Yun Yan is actually calling Grandfather by such an intimate name..."

"Ah? You like that? I can call you Bo'er too!" Lin Bei said seriously.

"Uh... Never mind, it doesn't sound good!" Qin Xiaobo repeatedly refused.

Half an hour later, the Old Medicine Immortal and Yun Yan finally made up for over three hundred years of longing. They regained their composure and looked at Lin Bei and the other.

"Yun Yan, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter and grandson-in-law!"

The woman before them, like the Old Medicine Immortal, was also at the Half-Saint cultivation level. She was a middle-aged beauty who still possessed great charm.

"Good children!" The woman nodded with a smile and took out two Medicinal Pills. "These two Saint Pills were formed from the Qi of the pills that I have condensed in this Alchemy Tower for a long time. I'll give them to you as a meeting gift!"

Lin Bei was almost moved to tears.

He was always the wealthy one giving out meeting gifts; when had he ever received one?

For this alone, the trip was not in vain!

He took them solemnly and said very respectfully, "Thank you, Grandmother!"

Instantly, the three people present were stunned, but upon further thought, nothing seemed wrong.

Qin Xiaobo also spoke softly, "Thank you, Grandmother..."

"Good, good, good!" After a brief moment of astonishment, Yun Yan beamed with joy.

Lin Bei looked at the Medicinal Pill in his hand and suddenly asked, "Grandmother, you said these Medicinal Pills weren't refined, but were formed by condensing pill Qi?"

"Yes!" Yun Yan nodded. "I only discovered this situation after being here for several years. Every half-month, a lot of pill Qi is drawn into the Alchemy Tower from the outside, eventually gathering toward the top floor."

"Later, I thought of a way to retain a portion of the pill Qi entering the sixty-sixth floor. Over hundreds of years, it formed this forest..."

"I see!" Lin Bei nodded, his interest in the items on the top floor of the Alchemy Tower greatly increasing.

Yun Yan had only been here for a few hundred years. One had to know that the Alchemy Tower had existed for tens of thousands of years. It was simply unimaginable how much pill Qi had been absorbed.

"Xiaobo, let's go. Let's not disturb Grandfather and Grandmother..." Lin Bei looked at the stairs not far from the small thatched hut and pulled Qin Xiaobo along.

Outside, seeing the green light on the sixty-sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower persist, the crowd had gone from their initial shock to becoming somewhat numb.

Many people were wondering if the Alchemy Tower was broken...

"The sixty-sixth floor... they've probably met that Chu Yanyun, right?"

In another high tower, the Ninth Elder had returned at some point. At this moment, his gaze was complex as he spoke softly.

"Ninth Elder, she's just an alchemy maid..." Saint Dan Chen glanced at him as if he could see through his heart.

"Yes!" The Ninth Elder lowered his head, not daring to say more.

Several other Elders in the area also seemed to see something, with teasing looks in their eyes.

"They should be coming out soon..."

Just as Saint Dan Chen finished speaking, his gaze suddenly froze, and his brow furrowed tightly.

On the nearby Alchemy Tower, the sixty-seventh floor began to glow with green light.

Then, the sixty-eighth floor, sixty-ninth floor, seventieth floor...

The numb Cultivators all around became excited once again.

"The seventy-second floor!!"

"Heavens, is there nothing that can stop his progress?"

"The seventy-third floor!!!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out loudly from the crowd.

"Do you all remember that legend? The Lord of the Alchemy Way!"

Hiss... Everyone gasped upon hearing this.

Previously, the person with the best result in the Alchemy Tower only reached the sixty-second floor, which was far from success. Over time, this legend had been cast aside.

Now that a challenger approaching success had appeared, this legend was inevitably remembered again.

"Lord of the Alchemy Way? What kind of existence is that?"

"Look! The seventy-fifth floor!"

The discussions below reached the ears of the group of Saints on the high tower, and every one of them looked grim.

Their ten great Medical Dao Families had founded the Alchemy Pavilion and ruled the Dan Realm for so many years, making a fortune.

If a Lord of the Alchemy Way suddenly emerged, where would they go?

This time, even Saint Dan Chen was no longer calm, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Seventy-six, seventy-seven, seventy-eight!

With every floor's green light illuminating, the hearts of these Saints twitched violently.

Finally, a look of determination appeared in Saint Dan Chen's eyes as he looked at the other fourteen Saints.

"Prepare the Cloud-Sealing Sun-Locking Array!"

The Second Elder was stunned and quickly spoke up, "Grand Elder, do we really have to?"

Saint Dan Chen waved his hand to cut him off. "Whether we use it or not still depends on the choice of the Lord of the Heavenly Court..."

Inside the Alchemy Tower, Lin Bei and Qin Xiaobo were already standing on the eightieth floor.

"Sister Xiaobo, are you nervous?" He squeezed the jade-like hand in his palm.

Qin Xiaobo shook her head with a blush.

Lin Bei suddenly leaned into her ear. "Sister Xiaobo, it seems I forgot to ask your grandfather the most important thing!"

Ying ying... As if her thoughts had been seen through, Qin Xiaobo buried her head in Lin Bei's chest, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Haha..." After his daily teasing, Lin Bei embraced the delicate body in his arms and stepped onto the eighty-first floor.
