Old Man Lin waved his hand and said, "Young friend Chu Yang, we are not ungrateful people. Please accept this small token of our appreciation!"
Chu Yang's refining of a ninth-grade golden pill at the Pill Tower had a tremendous positive impact on the Pill Tower as a force of alchemists, and the favor was so great that Old Monster Lin gave double the amount of medicinal materials on the original list.
You must understand that these medicinal herbs are all needed to refine ninth-grade pills. Taking them all out at once, and double the amount at that, would be a devastating blow even to the Pill Tower.
Hearing this, Chu Yang no longer stood on ceremony, put away the storage ring, pondered for a moment, and then smiled:
"Esteemed seniors, I would like to make a trip to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void. Would you be so kind as to introduce me?"
Chu Yang knew that the Pill Tower and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan had some connection, after all, the sealing of the Three Thousand Burning Flames was partly due to the efforts of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Without hesitation, the Ancestor of the Pill Tower said, "No problem, I will help you make the contact. However, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void is currently divided. Which faction do you want to see?"
"Donglong Island!" Chu Yang narrowed his eyes.
The old patriarch of the Dan Tower frowned and said, "Although Donglong Island is the legitimate successor of the Dragon Emperor, the old Dragon Emperor and his bloodline have been missing for many years, and the island is gradually declining..."
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I don't intend to interfere in the internal strife of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I just want to ask for a favor."
Hearing this, the old patriarch of the Dan Tower nodded and said nothing more.
For the next few days, Chu Yang remained in seclusion in the Small Pill Tower, either studying pill formulas or guiding Tang Huo'er in her cultivation.
The fighting technique he passed on to Tang Huo'er was originally obtained from Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi.
He integrated fist techniques, sword techniques, and mental techniques into one, and made slight improvements, making it a top-notch fighting technique with no weaknesses in any aspect.
With a pure heart and Chu Yang's personal guidance, Tang Huo'er made rapid progress, not only comprehending a trace of the true meaning of Tai Chi, but also breaking through to the Dou Zun realm.
As Tang Huo'er's understanding of Tai Chi deepened, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire became increasingly useless, which highlighted the benefits of Chu Yang's initial change to its foundation.
Over time, Tang Huo'er will gradually break free from her dependence on the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in her cultivation technique and create her own unique Tai Chi system.
When that time comes, Chu Yang will be able to teach her a new cultivation technique, allowing her to undergo a complete transformation.
During this period, the Pill Domain became more lively than ever before, with almost all the alchemists in the Central Continent coming to see the legendary ninth-grade Golden Pill alchemy master.
Various factions also sent people to gather information, and some even visited the higher-ups of the Dan Tower to test the waters.
To reiterate, if it is confirmed that the ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master is from the Pill Tower, then even the seven ancient clans will have to redefine the Pill Tower.
The response from the Kadan Tower has been ambiguous, neither confirming nor denying, leaving all parties uncertain.
In fact, Danta's goal was very simple: to maximize its profits from this incident while helping Chu Yang cover it up.
In their view, Chu Yang was not yet capable of directly confronting the three ancient races.
Once his identity as a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master is exposed, the three ancient clans who had a grudge against him will have to make a decision.
It's either a handshake and reconciliation, or it's annihilated!
However, the events that occurred in the Northwest region were in the wrong of the three ancient races. If they wanted to make peace, they would have to admit their mistakes.
But as bloodlines of the Dou Di, how could they willingly submit?
It must be said that the Dan Tower Ancestor was very efficient, or more accurately, he was particularly concerned about Chu Yang's affairs.
In just five days, the Ancestor of the Pill Tower brought a half-saint to the small world.
"Young friend Chu Yang, this is Elder Qingjiao, the patriarch of the Qingjiao clan, a vassal of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
The patriarch of the Pill Tower personally introduced the two, and then pointed to Chu Yang and said, "This is a guest elder of my Pill Tower. Although he is young, his strength is no less than mine, and his alchemy skills are superb."
His introduction of Chu Yang was somewhat ambiguous, failing to specify either his cultivation level or the grade of his medicine refining.
But Elder Qingjiao was a shrewd man. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he politely cupped his hands towards Chu Yang, saying, "Greetings, young friend Chu Yang!"
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "I presume you already know, senior, that I wish to make a trip to Ancient Dragon Island..."
The old man with the green dragon patted his chest and said, "Young friend, please rest assured. I have already contacted the Third Elder of Donglong Island. He will personally welcome us after we enter the void!"
Chu Yang glanced at the Pill Tower Ancestor. He knew that even though the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was beset by internal and external troubles, it was still one of the three major races of magical beasts. Compared to the seven ancient races, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
The fact that the other party allowed him, an outsider, to enter was already a great honor for the Pill Tower. Now, with a half-saint level expert leading the way and elders welcoming him, the Pill Tower must have paid a price.
Of course, if it were an ordinary powerful individual, even if they paid a great price, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void would probably not be willing to pay.
This was probably to give face to the patriarch of the Pill Tower, especially since the Pill Tower recently produced a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master, which caused quite a stir in the Central Continent.
For the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, being able to gain some benefits and do a favor for a peak five-star Dou Sheng expert and a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master was something they naturally had no reason to refuse.
"In that case, let's set off!"
Chu Yang collected his thoughts, smiled at the Azure Dragon Elder, and then looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor and said:
"Senior, I wish you all the best in taking that step!"
The Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower laughed heartily and said, "Thank you for your kind words!" (End of this chapter)
Chapter 327 Doing a Favor! Void Thunder Pool! Refining!
The void, Ancient Dragon Island.
This is an extremely vast island, enveloped by a bowl-shaped silver shield, which is filled with the power of space.
Chu Yang stood not far from Gulong Island, or more accurately, Donglong Island, his expression slightly dazed.
“Young friend Chu Yang, what’s going on…” A kind-faced old man in white robes stood behind Chu Yang, looking puzzled.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just marveling at the wonder of the void space!"
In a sense, the void space of Dou Qi Continent is similar to the concept of void in the Super God World.
Both exist within the spatial coverage of the subjective world.
However, life cannot thrive in the void of the Dou Qi Continent; the environment is extremely harsh.
This can be seen from the spatial shield that covers Donglong Island.
When it comes to spatial power, no one in the same realm on the Dou Qi Continent can compare to the Ancient Void Dragon. However, even they need certain defensive measures to settle in this void, which shows how dangerous the void is.
Chu Yang pondered a question throughout his journey: Does the void have an end?
Whether it's the void of the Super God World or the void of the Dou Qi Continent, people only have a macroscopic concept of it.
The white-robed elder sighed and said, "Young friend, you have a very close relationship with the Ancestor of the Pill Tower, so you must know the current situation of my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
"This is only a quarter of the ancient dragon island. Please excuse my poor appearance."
Chu Yang said meaningfully, "Elder Zhuli, Donglong Island supports the legitimate lineage of the Dragon Emperor, and surely one day their suffering will be over."
"I hope so!" Zhu Li gave a wry smile, taking Chu Yang's words as mere politeness.
The old Dragon Emperor and his descendants have disappeared without a trace, and the day when their suffering ends and happiness returns seems far away.
"I haven't yet asked you, young friend, what brings you to my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan?" Zhu Li asked casually as he led Chu Yang into the protective barrier.
Chu Yang didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Actually, I came here today because I want to go into seclusion in the void for a while. That's why I'm visiting in advance to avoid any misunderstandings."
"Secluded cultivation in the void?" Zhu Li was taken aback.
Even for ordinary Dou Zun powerhouses, the void is a dangerous place, and some of the more perilous places require even Dou Sheng powerhouses to be careful.
"Is your cultivation of the Dao of Space, young friend?" Zhu Li asked with some curiosity.
"I guess so!" Chu Yang's answer was ambiguous.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Zhu Li did not ask any further questions and took him on a tour of Donglong Island.
When the two arrived at the main hall, an old man with black and white hair and dressed in a tight-fitting outfit was already waiting there.
Zhu Li quickly introduced, "Young friend, this is Qi You, the second elder of my Donglong Island!"
"Elder Qi You, this is young friend Chu Yang."
Qi You looked Chu Yang up and down, then nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I left the void space. I never expected that such a prodigy would emerge from the younger generation of Zhongzhou!"
"May I ask which clan young friend Chu Yang comes from?"
Qi You had a serious expression, but Chu Yang didn't mind, knowing it was just his personality. He smiled and said:
"This junior is not from the Central Plains, but from the Northwest region, and the sect I belong to is not worth mentioning."
Qi You was stunned, and even Zhu Li was dumbfounded. They obviously did not expect that Chu Yang, such a young Dou Sheng, would come from a remote place on the continent!
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning. Then, Zhu Li's attitude suddenly became warm, and he said with a smile:
"Since you're here, young friend, why not stay on Donglong Island for a few more days? If you need anything, just let us know!"
Among the four Dragon Islands, East Dragon Island has always been in a position of absolute weakness. If it could win over a Dou Sheng powerhouse, it would greatly alleviate the pressure.
Qi You was even more direct, saying in a deep voice, "Young friend, I won't beat around the bush with you. If you are willing to join my Donglong Island and become a guest elder of my Donglong Island, you can name any conditions that my Donglong Island can provide!"
Zhu Li only knew that Chu Yang was a Dou Sheng expert, but Qi You found that even he couldn't see through the young man in front of him. Obviously, the other party's realm was higher than his own!
You must know that he is a one-star Dou Sheng, whose cultivation is higher than his. Doesn't that mean he must be at least a two-star Dou Sheng?
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I am grateful for the kind words of the two seniors, but my sect has been kind to me, so I do not intend to join any other forces."
"I would like to enter the Void Thunder Pool for a period of seclusion. Please grant me this request."
"Furthermore, I have some news that I believe you two seniors will find interesting..."
"The Void Thunder Pool?" Qi You frowned. "It's very dangerous there. Are you sure you want to go?"
