Chapter 344: Unstoppable Momentum

Chapter 344: Unstoppable Momentum

Although the reward ceremony had ended, the topic of discussion throughout Sky Alliance City was still Xiao Ze's public alchemy and the rewarding of merits. Countless people deeply realized the tremendous appeal of having a master alchemist in the Sky Alliance. Within a single day, Xiao Ze had crafted numerous valuable medicinal pills, and no powerful individual could refuse the opportunity to serve under a master alchemist's leadership. After all, even if one achieved great deeds in other forces, without a high-level alchemist, they would still need to seek out pills elsewhere.

Moreover, considering the entire Northwest Continent, master alchemists were the stuff of legends. Now, with a real master alchemist present in the Black Corner Region, word was spreading like wildfire, likely attracting powerhouses from across the continent. As the news began to spread rapidly throughout the Black Corner Region, those who heard it couldn't help but regret not staying in Sky Alliance City to witness the master alchemist's public demonstration.

Inside the Sky Alliance headquarters, Xiao Ze spoke with Xiao Yi Xian and others. "Next, I'll need you to split into three groups and eliminate all remnants of the Yunlan Sect in the surrounding empires," he instructed. Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and Qing Lin nodded, each equipped with a golden tree insignia from Xiao Ze, ensuring they could contact him at any moment. Should any danger arise, Xiao Ze could quickly come to their aid. Thus, he felt confident sending them out while he remained to oversee Sky Alliance City.

Of course, he wasn't going to be idle; he planned to convert all collected herbs into medicinal pills and place them on the platform. Upon the triumphant return of the Sky Alliance, he could simply hold another reward ceremony. Displaying these pills was also a testament to the strength of the Sky Alliance.

"Also, after the public alchemy session, the Sky Alliance has received numerous applications from alchemists wishing to join," Xiao Yi Xian mentioned with a smile. Qing Lin expressed her surprise, "Those alchemists are quite proud. Even with the Sky Alliance's formidable strength in unifying the Black Corner Region, they didn't join willingly before."

"Hmph, each one waiting to drive a hard bargain, expecting the Sky Alliance to personally invite them," Medusa huffed lightly. "True, now that they've seen Xiao Ze perform alchemy publicly, they've become very proactive, each application oozing with sincerity, as if they've admired the Sky Alliance for a long time," Xiao Yi Xian covered her mouth and chuckled. "If I didn't know they had only just arrived in Sky Alliance City, I might have believed their nonsense."

"Ha, well, since they've applied on their own, we should welcome them all. I alone cannot supply the entire Sky Alliance," Xiao Ze reassured them, open to the idea of welcoming the alchemists. He understood that his status as a master alchemist was what drew them.

The day's public alchemy session was undoubtedly beneficial for those alchemists. They were eager to learn directly from Xiao Ze, and for this, even setting aside their pride as alchemists was worth it. After all, an alchemist's pride was typically directed towards non-alchemists. Facing a more formidable alchemist, they had no grounds for arrogance.

The three women nodded, their conversation more jest than serious, recognizing the usefulness of these alchemists to the Sky Alliance. They also didn't want Xiao Ze to overexert himself.

The next day, the reorganized troops, led by the three women, departed Sky Alliance City from three different directions. In addition to the personnel taken from Sky Alliance City's headquarters, they also gathered more members from cities under Sky Alliance control along the way to bolster their strength.

Upon entering the empires ravaged by the remnants of the Yunlan Sect, their advance was unstoppable. The Sky Alliance troops, led by Dou Zuns, were fervent, each eager to be the first to strike down the remnants.

Seeing the Sky Alliance troops led by Dou Zuns, the empires, fearful of Sky Alliance's potential hostility and valuing their own lives, promptly requested to join and pledge allegiance to the Sky Alliance. They were well aware of their previous firm rejections of the Sky Alliance, and now with the Sky Alliance forcefully entering their empires, they knew the visitors had no good intentions.

After discussing with Xiao Ze, Medusa, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian decided to accept their allegiance. It was challenging for the Sky Alliance alone to track down the Yunlan Sect remnants thoroughly. With these empires willing to cooperate actively and conduct extensive searches for practitioners of the sinister blood-eyed techniques, it would expedite the resolution against the Yunlan Sect.

In the central square of Sky Alliance City, people noticed Xiao Ze's figure appearing again on the platform, with Sky Alliance members still maintaining order around him. This time, without Xiao Yi Xian and others actively spreading the news, the spectacle was even grander than the last public alchemy session.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Xiao Ze was unaffected, his soul power enveloping the platform as he seamlessly crafted medicinal pills. The sight of high-level pills laid out on the table filled onlookers with immense desire. For the ordinary folk, obtaining just one of these pills could secure a worry-free life, no longer needing to struggle over financial matters. For cultivators, although not as life-changing, these pills could still significantly advance their practice.

Such precious high-level medicinal pills filled an entire table. Over several days, Xiao Ze continued his public alchemy, and the sight of these valuable pills casually displayed as if they cost nothing left the spectators numb.

As the last pill was crafted, Xiao Ze finally sighed in relief. He melted a large block of bronze with his golden flames into an ornate bronze rack, then covered it with a layer of gold. Under the control of his soul power, the pills crafted over the days floated up and arranged themselves on the golden rack. Due to its open design, the high-level medicinal pills were visible from any direction in the central square.

Finally, Xiao Ze set up a spatial barrier around the platform in the central square, ensuring that even Dou Zun-level fighters could not breach it. After leaving some members to maintain order, Xiao Ze swiftly left the central square and returned to the Sky Alliance headquarters.

The crowd in the central square was astounded, unable to believe that high-level medicinal pills were left so openly on the platform. True to the Sky Alliance's style, possessing a master alchemist meant displaying wealth and power unabashedly.

Back at Sky Alliance headquarters, Xiao Ze contacted Xiao Yi Xian and the others through the golden tree. Knowing that their progress was smooth and successful, he felt relieved. However, Xiao Ze was somewhat troubled by the lack of news about Yun Shan and the absence of any movement from the Soul Palace. The death of two Venerables should have certainly drawn the Soul Palace's attention, but their lack of response worried him that they might be preparing for a significant action.

"At the moment, worrying won't help. I can only focus on quickly enhancing my strength. With Xiao Yi Xian by my side, my cultivation speed has increased, and with the Hundredfold Tribulation Poison Body, I can advance rapidly even at the Six-Star Dou Zun level!" Xiao Ze mused.
