Chapter 233: Continuous Pill Lightning

Chapter 233: Continuous Pill Lightning

"Roooaaar!"

Accompanied by a roar that sounded like a mix of bear and dragon, Xiong Zhan's aura reached its peak.

Qing Lin, startled by the roar, instinctively grabbed Xiao Ze's arm.

Zi Yan, hearing Xiong Zhan's roar, raised an eyebrow slightly. "The dragon blood in the Great Bear's body isn't weak."

Xiao Ze, sensing the strong dragon power in that roar, agreed with Zi Yan. Although this level of dragon power didn't affect him much. Previously, when facing Zhuyang's corpse in the ancient ruins, the residual dragon power there was much stronger than what Xiong Zhan was emitting now.

While it wasn't a big deal for Xiao Ze, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin, the roar with dragon power spread across half of the Thousand Medicine Range, echoing through the valleys and mountains. The magical beasts that heard the sound trembled in fear, bowing to the ground without daring to move, in a posture of submission.

With a single roar, Xiong Zhan made all the beasts bow.

Shortly after, Xiong Zhan's figure distorted space and appeared in front of the three, a broad smile on his face.

"Brother Xiao Ze, from now on, if you need anything from this old bear, don't hesitate to ask! Whether it's a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I will have no complaints!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Ze smiled slightly. Xiong Zhan's straightforward and open nature made it easy to get along with him, without many intrigues.

"Since Brother Xiong Zhan says so, I won't be modest."

"Great Bear, let's go, come with me to find treasures in the pill world."

Zi Yan waved her hand, and Xiong Zhan showed a pleased smile. "Sure, little Miss!"

Now that Xiong Zhan had reached the Dou Zun level, he could clearly perceive the fearsome blood power in Zi Yan. Even among the Taixu Gulong tribe, Zi Yan's blood was one of the noblest.

Seeing Xiong Zhan being so compliant with Zi Yan, Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Xiong Zhan, I need to prepare some pills these days and might need some of the medicinal herbs from the herb market."

Xiao Ze wanted to take this opportunity to prepare several eighth-level pills, recovering the depletion of his Xuanqing soul technique. If time allowed, he could make more eighth-level pills to trade for recipes at the Pill Tower.

"Brother Xiao Ze, you helped me reach the Dou Zun level today, so you can take all the medicinal herbs you need from the market!"

Xiong Zhan pounded his chest. "And if it's not enough, I'll go to other places in the pill world to find more treasures for you! Just tell me what you need!"

Seeing Xiong Zhan's attitude, Zi Yan nodded in satisfaction. Before, although Xiong Zhan didn't oppose what Zi Yan said, internally, it pained him a little to part with his precious herbs. But now, with a single condensation pill, Xiong Zhan was willing to give all his herbs to Xiao Ze without hesitation.

"Also, Brother Xiong Zhan, could you take Qing Lin with you and help her find some high-level magical snake beasts?"

Xiong Zhan looked at Qing Lin and, remembering their previous interactions, was impressed with the power of her tricolor snake eyes.

"No problem, leave it to me. I know this pill world well and know where to find those beasts."

Shortly after, Xiong Zhan transformed into a dragon bear, carrying the two girls on his shoulders, starting their search for treasures and magical beasts for Xiao Ze and Qing Lin.

Xiao Ze watched them disappear into the mist and couldn't help but sigh.

"Being a high-level alchemist really has its perks. With a single condensation pill, I now have a Dou Zun level guard, making things much easier."

Xiao Ze stretched and headed to Xiong Zhan's cave.

The two seventh-level magical beasts looked up and, seeing Xiao Ze alone, showed their fangs. Xiao Ze, with a single thought, made the branch in the empty space representing the power of the multicolored python vibrate. A terrible magical beast pressure emanated from Xiao Ze, making the two beasts whimper.

From their inherited memory, they knew that any being with this pressure could crush them easily. So, they quickly prostrated in submission.

"Although they have reached the seventh level and have intelligence, their wild instincts are still there. Without Xiong Zhan around, they dare to show me their teeth."

Xiao Ze thought but did not act against them. He simply released a bit of his pressure to scare them. After all, these beasts were Xiong Zhan's subordinates, and it was not good to act rashly.

He arrived at the herb market, strolling among the plants, selecting what he needed.

"What abundance! Just with the herbs in this market, I have more than enough."

"If I explore the pill world more, I probably won't have to worry about herbs for a long time."

"In the Dou Sheng ruins in the ancient forest, there are even more rare herbs, according to Xiong Zhan, more than in the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range."

"Next time Zi Yan returns, I'll ask if she can find those ancient ruins..."

"Dou Sheng ruins for me alone, I could multiply my wealth many times!"

Xiao Ze memorized this idea and returned to the previous cave to continue making pills. He blocked the damaged ceiling with energy and began to prepare eighth-level pills.

Although he didn't have many eighth-level recipes, the Pill Tower didn't require a specific variety. Even the same pill could count towards his credit, given its intrinsic value.

In the following days, in the central area of the Wan Yao Mountain Range, pill clouds often appeared, and multicolored lightning bolts fell. These bolts made the beasts in the mountain range's center nervous.

The continuous pill lightning caught Elder Liu Tian's attention. Eighth-level lightning bolts were so powerful that they could be felt from a great distance.

"The frequency with which Xiao Ze makes pills is exaggerated. All of them eighth-level?"

"Even I couldn't make so many eighth-level pills in a row."

Liu Tian smiled bitterly. He knew Xiao Ze would surpass him someday, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Making so many consecutive eighth-level pills required a very powerful soul, which defined an alchemist's strength.

"Xiao Ze's alchemy level has already surpassed mine."

"If it were me, I would have run out of strength a long time ago."

Elder Liu Tian felt a powerful energy heading towards the Wan Yao Mountain Range.

"It must be the magical beast working with Xiao Ze."

Liu Tian thought and decided to stay on the sidelines, as he had originally planned.
