Chapter 246 - Dantian

Naturally, there were guards at the city gate. Huang Tian saw that when everyone queued up in order to enter Pill City, they would all take out their identity plates, and anyone with their identity plates could enter? As for those martial artists that didn't have identity tokens, they would have to pay 100 gold coins to buy one. The master and disciple walked over. Huang Tian saw that the master and senior sister had both revealed their identity plates at their waists. Especially Master's identity plates, it was obvious that they were very different? Upon seeing this, the soldiers were all extremely respectful. Zhou Yi took out a hundred gold coins and gave Huang Tian an identity token. Only then did the Master and disciple enter Pill City.

As he entered the city gates, a main street appeared before him. This main street was extremely wide, and it suddenly looked like a square. There was an endless flow of pedestrians and clothes; clearly, the number of high-level cultivators was far greater than other cities. Two rows of pavilions were even more numerous; it was impossible to see the end of them. There were even countless stalls for him to choose from? The eyes of her Senior Martial Sister when she came here were clearly much brighter, especially when she looked at the stalls on the ground. It was as if she really wanted to go up and take a look. Huang Tian was also acting like a country bumpkin, looking left and right, while looking right and left. As for Master Zhou Yi, his face was calm, and he continued to walk along the street?

After looking at it for a while, Huang Tian took out the identity jade token his master gave him and started to look at the structure of the entire Pill City. Dan City was circular, and was divided into two main districts. One was the outer district, the other was the inner district. The outer regions mainly focused on the trading companies. There were all sorts of trading companies, and they were all shops set up by various sects and clans. As for the inner area, it was the Immortal's cave for alchemists in Pill City to cultivate their disciples. There are three peaks in the inner region, the Mid Green Sun Peak. Is it where the Apothecary Grandmaster Yun Qing Yang's disciples gather? The left wing was Su Qifeng. Was it where the Alchemy Master Su Qifeng and his disciples gathered? The peak of yuyang on the right mountain, was the location of the Alchemist Grandmaster Yu Yangzi's Peak Master and disciples?

The three Peak Masters were the true rulers of Pill City. The three Peaks had countless alchemist disciples, and they were spread throughout the entire Tian Yuan Continent. Other than the Peak Master being a grandmaster apothecary, the three peaks also had ten elders. All of these ten elders were at the same level as a grandmaster apothecary, and some of them were just a step away from becoming a grandmaster apothecary? The Master Zhou Yi was one of the ten great elders of the peak of yuyang, and more importantly, one of Yu Yangzi's disciples? The path which they saw their master take was precisely towards the peak of yuyang?

The peak of yuyang towered into the clouds, and strange flowers and herbs filled the area. There were countless medicine gardens, and many disciples were busy with something inside. Halfway up the mountain, there were countless exquisite buildings connected to each other. Master Zhou Yi's gaze looked towards the mountain peak as a hint of excitement emerged from the corner of his mouth? And it was the same for Senior Sister. Where did their respected existence live? Huang Tian didn't even need to think to know that the Peak Master of Yu Yangzi was probably there? The master of the curved stairs brought Huang Tian and Bing Ling directly to a pavilion, and said with a smile.

"This is Master's cave, so Huang Tian, will you just follow me here from now on?" Huang Tian lightly nodded, and Zhou Yi looked towards the ice spirit and said.

"Ling'er, take your junior brother and arrange a cave for him to rest. Is Master going to pay a visit to your Grandmaster?" Zhou Yi continued to climb, his speed was clearly much faster. The ice spirit was somewhat disappointed after hearing his words. It seemed as if it wanted to go as well. Then, it shook its head and said.

"Junior brother, shall we go in?" After Senior Sister Bing Ling said that, she took out her identity jade tablet and immediately chanted an incantation. Then, a light appeared outside the pavilion, and Senior Sister Bing Ling brought Huang Tian in? After arranging a room, Senior Sister went back to her own room for closed door cultivation? Huang Tian shook his head, he never thought that he would become Pill City's disciple just like that. His master was not around, and his Senior Sister had gone to cultivate in seclusion, so Huang Tian could not stay idle.

Huang Tian then stood up and walked along a mountain path slowly, changing his view of the peak of yuyang. Although disciples would appear from time to time, Huang Tian did not recognize any of them. While walking, Huang Tian arrived at a square, there were many people here, there were actually people selling all kinds of pills and herbs in the square? Just as Huang Tian was about to go and take a look, he heard a disciple say:

Pushing through the crowd, Huang Tian saw that there were indeed two young disciples in the encirclement of disciples. One had a jade-like complexion with a valiant look, and her eyes were filled with arrogance, while the other seemed to have an ordinary appearance, but her eyes were filled with anger. It was obvious that the arrogant disciple had angered the other party?

"Li Ying, you're going too far?" The boy with jade-like face sneered when he heard this.

"Why, Wang Kai, do you think you can court my junior sister? If you don't look at yourself in the mirror, you should look your best. But if you don't have any background, or more importantly, you don't even have any looks, how are you fit to look at me? " Wang Kai's eyes were filled with anger, as though he wanted to attack, but he endured, and said:

"Li Ying, I'll surely defeat you, and prove that I'm not inferior to you?" Li Ying laughed in disdain when he heard this. With a wave of his hand, a cauldron with a radius of half a meter appeared.

"Hehe, Wang Kai, since you don't know what's good for you, I will give you a chance to defeat me." As the sound of Li Ying's voice faded, he waved his hand, and two medicinal herbs appeared before him.

"Junior brother Wang, I have two sets of herbs for Pei-Yuan Dan. If you can make some Pei-Yuan Dan, I will help you and my junior sister. If you can't, then don't ever show up in front of my junior sister again!" "How about it? Do you dare to bet with me?"

"What? Pei-Yuan Dan? Can Brother Li really concoct Pei-Yuan Dan?" Is this Pei-Yuan Dan that only an alchemist can concoct? Seeing that Senior Brother Li is so confident, is it really possible? "

"You only just found out? "Brother Li was able to concoct the Pei-Yuan Dan half a year ago. In this time's alchemist exam, Brother Li will definitely become an alchemist, and he will definitely be one of the best among these newly advanced alchemists, right?"

"This Brother Wang is doomed. The Pei-Yuan Dan was not that easy to refine. Besides, he only had this one set of ingredients, and it would have been a waste if he was not careful. Although Brother Wang's pill refining level is not bad, I'm afraid he will lose this time." Wang Kai looked at Li Ying's disdainful gaze, his eyes seemed to be filled with blood, he was furious to the extreme, and when he heard the numerous disciples discussing, a crazed look surfaced on Wang Kai's face, and he shouted loudly.

"Alright, I, Wang Kai, will compete with you in alchemy. Whoever can refine it first will win. The loser will no longer pester the junior sister." Hearing that, Li Ying's mouth formed a pleased smile, he waved his hand and a set of medicinal herbs appeared in front of Wang Kai? Wang Kai then began to inspect the herbs, and did not find anything wrong, so he sent out the Pill Refining Furnace? Both of their pill furnaces were ordinary, so next would be a competition of skills and quality. As for those who couldn't point their fingers, they would lose? Huang Tian was also interested, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, so this was a Dou Dan? Private duels were not allowed in Dan City, but Dan duels were not allowed.

Huang Tian saw the two of them sitting cross-legged, releasing fire type energy, following that, scarlet red flames appeared, enveloping the pill furnace? The first step of preheating was naturally the most basic. When the two of them started concocting pills, no one spoke. They were afraid that they would disturb their two senior brothers if they spoke too much. Although Li Ying was heating up the pill furnace, she would occasionally look at Wang Kai, her gaze filled with a playful expression, while Wang Kai was completely focused, as if he had forgotten that he was competing with her, and in the next moment, was immersed in the heat of the pill furnace?

As time passed, the temperature of the surrounding space rose with the flame. The two people's pill furnaces started to emit a fiery red light. Obviously, the preheating had already reached a critical point, so Wang Kai did not say a word and immediately pointed at a stalk of herb and threw it into the furnace. He then slowly closed his eyes as if he was checking the temperature of the pill furnace. Seeing that Wang Kai had already started, Li Ying curled his lips in disdain, he carefully felt the temperature of the pill furnace, which was about right, with a wave of his hand, three or four herbs were sucked into the furnace.

"Wow, Senior Li Ying is so powerful. His spiritual will is actually so strong, he can control so many herbs to refine them at the same time. As expected of the genius disciple of my peak of yuyang?" Li Ying's action instantly attracted many cheers from the disciples, and Huang Tian secretly nodded his head when he saw this. It had to be said that Li Ying was a genius disciple, of course, to be able to refine all the medicinal herbs at the same time was nothing to Huang Tian, but to the other disciples, to be able to refine all four herbs at the same time, was that a high requirement for their control of their spiritual will as well as their control over their techniques?

Ordinary disciples would not be able to do this. Would this Li Ying be able to become a qualified apothecary just by being able to do this? Although Huang Tian did not like Li Ying's arrogance, but to admit to his talent? But of course, Wang Kai was one of them, he seemed to know that his spiritual will could not compare to Li Ying's, so he carefully put an herb into the pill furnace, was that also the best choice? And in the eyes of others, Li Ying was undoubtedly much stronger than Wang Kai.

Time slowly passed. Li Ying was sitting cross-legged as he constantly formed pill seals to melt the herbs and remove the impurities. Wang Kai, on the other hand, was absorbing the medicinal herbs slowly, step by step, in an orderly manner. When the last stalk of medicinal herb entered the furnace, Wang Kai finally melted all of the medicinal herbs? Wang Kai also released sets of pill techniques, and flames. The temperature of the flames between the two of them became higher and higher, and even the surrounding disciples were not used to it, so they all retreated?

After half an incense stick of time, a strong pill fragrance began to emit. This attracted the attention of the surrounding disciples, and they all smelled the pill fragrance and headed towards the direction of the sound. Li Ying did not even let out a breath of red air. He looked very relaxed, especially when the fragrance of pills wafted out. A satisfied smile appeared on Li Ying's face? As for Wang Kai, after smelling the pill fragrance, his expression changed slightly, and he continued to offer pills.

"Senior Brother Li Ying's pill is about to form?" It wasn't just someone who said this. Li Ying let out a loud shout and the fire attribute energy surged, enveloping the pill furnace within. In just a few breaths of time, Li Ying slapped the pill furnace. With a loud bang, the lid shot up to the sky and a pill the size of a longan instantly flew out of the cauldron with a crimson glow? Li Ying waved her hand, and the medicinal pill appeared in his hand?

"It's a Pei-Yuan Dan, it's really a Pei-Yuan Dan! Oh my god, brother Li Ying is really powerful, he actually refined the Pei-Yuan Dan! Brother Li is indeed a genius of peak of yuyang, how nice would it be if I were Brother Li?"

"Pfft, you're worthy of being my apprentice alchemist. If you want to reach the level of Senior Brother Li's alchemy, do you still need to be my apprentice alchemist for another ten years?" The eyes of the others lit up when they saw Li Ying, especially Li Ying's Pei-Yuan Dan. They were all filled with jealousy and envy. How could they possibly want to snatch the Pei-Yuan Dan from him? On the other hand, Li Ying was extremely satisfied with the compliments he received from the others. However, when he looked at Wang Kai's pill furnace, only a burst of medicinal fragrance came out. There was still a lot of time until the pill was formed, so he immediately taunted him with disdain.

"Wang Kai, you lost?" Wang Kai was still immersed in pill refining, when he heard the discussions of the crowd, his face turned white, as though he did not believe that the other party could refine so quickly, but when he saw the Pei-Yuan Dan in the other party's hands, his eyes darkened, because he had absentmindedly lost control of the fire, causing sizzling sounds to come out from the furnace, and then the black smoke came out?

"Failed, you see this Wang Kai has failed? "He dares to compete with Senior Brother Li, is he overestimating himself?" Wang Kai calmed his emotions. He knew that even if he was not paying attention, he would still lose if he was able to refine the Essence Nurturing Pill. He lost. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he knew his own limits. Li Ying's natural talent was stronger than his, and although he put in great effort to catch up, there was still a difference? Wang Kai calmed his emotions and kept his pill furnace, but his eyes were filled with stubbornness as he looked at Li Ying?

"What? Junior brother Wang, aren't you admitting defeat?" Wang Kai's expression gradually eased, and did not become angry because of it.
