Chapter 444: The Mysterious Black Tower

The prices of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine were similar to those in the outside world, but fortunately, the variety was complete.

What left Xiao Fan most speechless was that not only could he see red fire stem and chanxin leather here…

…but even eight gods spirit blood was for sale.

It was just that the price was a bit expensive, with each drop costing 500,000 Spirit Stones…

Xiao Fan almost wanted to vomit blood. Back then, he had gone through all sorts of hardships just to obtain these main ingredients for refining the heaven mending pill…

As it turned out, this Shengdan City had everything…

Xiao Fan casually spent another few million to purchase several sets of Materials for refining the heaven mending pill.

Being wealthy and imposing, he didn't care at all about a mere few million Spirit Stones.

The Pill Furnace Xiao Fan was currently using was bought from Wanbao Tower; he had exchanged quite a lot of Spirit Stones for contribution points.

But compared to the Pill Furnaces in Shengdan City, it was still far inferior. However, the prices of the Pill Furnaces here were too expensive…

Even someone as wealthy and imposing as him felt a bit melancholy…

Any Pill Furnace he took a liking to had a minimum price of 30 million Spirit Stones…

Xiao Fan felt he was too poor again.

Consequently, he gave up the idea of buying a Pill Furnace.

"With my superb Alchemy attainments, it would be the same even if I used an ordinary Pill Furnace."

Xiao Fan gave himself a good reason to console himself.

Then, he led Long Caiwei back.

For the next few days, Xiao Fan did not go out.

This time when he went out, it was mainly to see if he could stumble upon any rare ancient artifacts in Shengdan City.

Like the ancient artifact that resembled the black compass he had absorbed before…

As it turned out… such things were indeed rare and hard to come by.

He wandered through most of Shengdan City but didn't encounter any.

Afterwards, Xiao Fan stayed indoors, remaining in the guest courtyard with peace of mind…

A day later, he learned shocking news from Long Caiwei.

"Brother-in-law, it's said that Piaomiao Immortal Palace has a Disciple in their early twenties who has actually reached the level of a 3rd Grade Alchemist."

This news gave Xiao Fan quite a shock…

A Disciple in their early twenties, and they had actually reached the level of a 3rd Grade Alchemist!

Long Caiwei explained in great detail; the people from Piaomiao Immortal Palace had arrived the latest.

On that day when the group of Disciples were led to the assessment, Piaomiao Immortal Palace was not among them.

Later, Piaomiao Immortal Palace went separately, and no one paid too much attention to the specific situation of the other Disciples within their sect.

However, there was one Disciple who successfully refined a 1st Grade Medicinal Pill and a 2nd Grade Medicinal Pill, respectively.

Later, under the recommendation of the Elder in charge of the assessment in Shengdan City, the City Lord, Huangfu Cheng, was specifically asked to conduct the assessment personally.

That person did indeed refine a 3rd Grade Medicinal Pill.

It was said to be a high-quality 3rd Grade Medicinal Pill…

"Brother-in-law, it's said that this person is only twenty-three… and also came to enter the Sacred Pill Tower." Long Caiwei poured out all the information she knew to Xiao Fan.

To be able to reach the level of a 3rd Grade Alchemist at twenty-three, and even refine a high-quality 3rd Grade Medicinal Pill…

This proved that the other party had the potential to become a Grade 4 Alchemist before the age of thirty.

The other party's Aptitude was likely comparable to 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi…

Terrifying, truly terrifying.

The other party's Alchemy attainments were above Xiao Fan's.

"What is their name?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Hmm… it seems to be… Lu Yueshan…" Long Caiwei thought for a moment and said.

"Lu Yueshan?" Xiao Fan was stunned: "A woman?!"

Long Caiwei nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, she is indeed a woman."

Xiao Fan: "…"

He suddenly felt, could it be that in this day and age, women had more talent for Alchemy than men?

Not to mention the mother-daughter pair, Jiang Rushuang and 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi, now another twenty-three-year-old 3rd Grade Alchemist, Lu Yueshan, had appeared.

"Alright, I understand…" Xiao Fan was speechless.

Actually, he didn't care too much; after all, how long had he been practicing Alchemy?

Only a few months. If he were given a year, he might even be able to become a Grade 4 Alchemist.

In fact, it was indeed as Xiao Fan had guessed.

Whether it was 4th-Grade Alchemist Jiang Yi or Lu Yueshan, both had been exposed to Alchemy since they were young.

Their families all had Elders from the Alchemy Lineage to guide them; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to reach their current level.

Long Caiwei told Xiao Fan some more gossip from the outside world, and then she was shooed away by Xiao Fan…

According to Xiao Fan, he needed to Cultivate and required quiet…

Regarding the fact that Xiao Fan had previously refined eight 2nd Grade Medicinal Pills, it hadn't caused much of a sensation.

Because all the limelight had been stolen by Lu Yueshan.

Time passed day by day…

Finally, the day arrived for the Sacred Pill Tower to open.

Xiao Fan and the other Disciples of Jixian Sect had gotten ready early in the morning and were waiting in the main hall of the guest courtyard.

"Is everyone here?" Kong Ping's gaze was calm as he scanned the crowd, with Jiang Yushan standing beside him.

Among the Disciples who came this time, except for Long Caiwei, everyone else was to enter the Sacred Pill Tower.

To enter the Sacred Pill Tower, which opened once every three years.

As for Long Caiwei, her situation was special.

She was still young, and her current attainments in the Alchemy Lineage were far too lacking.

The Sacred Pill Tower could only be entered once in a person's lifetime.

So Kong Ping planned to let Long Caiwei wait a few more years.

After counting the number of people and confirming that no one was missing…

Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan led the group of Disciples to leave and head towards the Sacred Pill Tower!

In fact, Xiao Fan and the others had already seen this tower before.

That mysterious black tower was the Sacred Pill Tower.
