Chapter 23 Holy Pill City

Xiao Yan sat high on a mountain peak in the Falling Star Pavilion. Green Dou Qi entered his body through his nostrils, and after several cycles, it returned to his Dou Qi cyclone again. In the process of going back and forth, he refined some energy from heaven and earth.

"No wonder the cultivation speed of people in the outside world is far inferior to that of my Xiao clan," Xiao Yan sighed.

The Falling Star Pavilion is a first-class force in the Central Plains, and the energy in the Falling Star Realm is even more concentrated than outside. Coupled with the blessing of special formations, the energy concentration is almost three times that of the outside world.

But this concentration of heaven and earth can only be considered ordinary in the Xiao Realm. The energy concentration of the Xiao Realm is generally 3-5 times that of the outside world. For example, the places where the descendants of powerful people like Xiao Yan cultivate, the concentration is as high as 8-10 times. With such training conditions and the talent granted to them by their bloodline, it's no wonder that there are so many Dou Kings and Dou Emperor's in the Xiao Realm.

A month passed before he was able to recover to the two-star Dou Emperor. Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Disciple!" An old voice sounded beside Xiao Yan's ears.

He was wearing a long green robe, and his messy hair and beard had been carefully groomed. At first glance, he actually looked like an immortal.

Did this guy groom himself like this so he can impress his old lover?

Xiao Yan complained in his heart, he asked, "Why have you dressed to impress? Is because you are going on a date with your old lover?"

"Ahem." Yao Lao couldn't help coughing twice, and said seriously, "I'm just going to see an old friend."

"What kind of old friend is it that you spray incense and medicine before seeing them?"

"Can we skip this topic?" Yao Lao blushed, stared at Xiao Yan, and smiled, "How is your alchemy going recently?"

"You are guiding me every day, how can you not know?" Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Lao.

"Hehe." Yao Lao smiled and rubbed his hands, saying, "You are indeed an unparalleled alchemy genius. You can refine top-grade fifth-grade elixirs without any Heavenly Flames. If you had a Heavenly Flame, you would have been a sixth-grade alchemist by now."

"Tsk tsk, a 15-year-old sixth-grade alchemist, even in the Yao Clan, it has not appeared for nearly a thousand years. Perhaps only the Medicine Sovereign of that year had this talent."

"My disciple has the talent of an emperor."

Yao Lao smiled while stroking his beard; his old face was about was blooming like a chrysanthemum.

"I really want to see the day when your alchemy skills are so outstanding that you crush those juniors from the Yao Clan."

"You're dreaming," Xiao Yan sneered and replied, "My mother is the daughter of an elder of the Yao clan. Many of the geniuses of the Yao clan are my cousins. By the way, you are also from the Yao clan, right? We are distant relatives."

"Your mother is from the Yao clan?" Yao Lao was stunned when he heard this, and then a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.

"Never mind, I'm here to tell you that the competition is seven days away. Get ready; we're leaving."

"Is it about to start?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yao Lao and said, "Give me a moment."

After that, he spread his Dou Qi wings and flew back to his residence.

Half an hour later, when Xiao Yan appeared in front of Yao Lao again, he almost blinded Yao Lao's eyes.

The young man was wearing a white robe with gold silk and two black bamboos lightly drawn on it. His tall figure was further emphasised in the clothes.

It seemed as if this set of exquisite clothes was tailor-made for him, complementing each other.

The young man's long hair, which was originally casually scattered, was tied up by a seven-dragon golden crown and inserted with a snow-white jade hairpin.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and horses make the saddle. After dressing up, Xiao Yan's originally handsome face became even more dashing.

With two strands of hair carelessly scattered on his forehead and a vague ruffian air about him, his dark eyes revealed a maturity that did not belong to his age, enough to attract the attention of many girls.

"You're the one dressing to impress." Yao Lao was stunned for a long time before finally saying something.

"Okay enough delays, since you and I are ready, let's go." Yao Lao waved his hand, and a spatial channel appeared in front of him.

"Let's go..." As his voice sounded, Xiao Yan also flew into the channel.

"What's that smell? Your fragrance smells so strange. What kind of fragrance is it?"

"Bleu de Chanel."

"What a strange name."

"Don't worry about its name; it's something good."

"That makes sense. I'll see if there's anything I can use to improve my fragrance to be like yours later."

"If you want the prescription, just tell me..."

The two whispered in the space channel...

Holy Pill City, located in the center of the Pill Tower's territory, is magnificent and grand.

In the absence of the seven ancient clans, Holy Pill City is the most prosperous place on the Dou Qi Continent.

There are many powerful people and alchemists here, which means that the richest group of people in Dou Qi Continent have come here.

It can be called the central business district of the Central Plains!

Apart from the magnificent city itself, Holy Pill City also has eight huge squares outside of it.

At this moment, outside a huge square outside the city, all kinds of powerful alchemists are surging here, there are often flames of various colors rising.

Obviously, there are alchemists refining medicine and competing with each other here.

At this time, the space shook, and a silver light circle suddenly expanded in the air, causing countless powerhouse in the square to look up.

To open a space channel by oneself is a skill that only Dou Venerate experts have.

Even in Holy Pill City, where there are many masters, Dou Venerate expertsn can be regarded as amongst the strongest experts here.

As the space channel opened, an old man in a green shirt with a fairy-like appearance walked out, followed by a young man in a white robe, who was handsome and unrestrained.

"It's him! Medicine Venerable Yao Chen!" Someone exclaimed, and the originally lively square became even more noisy.

"Medicine Venerable Yao Chen! It is said that his alchemy skills are incredibly powerful, that its even slightly above the three giants of the Pill Tower."

"Yes, it is said that this person's alchemy skills are only a step away from the ninth rank. If he reaches the ninth rank, he will be regarded as the number one alchemist on the continent."

"Since this person appeared here; it seems that something is going to happen again."

"Hey, who is the young man following behind him? Is that his new disciple?"

Someone noticed Xiao Yan behind Yao Lao.

"Oh my god, a disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen! If I can become a disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen, then I will be able to ascend to heaven in one step. Smoke would be coming out of my ancestral grave if that happened!"

(T/N: smoke coming out the ancestral grave = good fortune)

"Nonsense, how is that a mere wave of smoke coming out? It would at least be spitting fire!"

"Wow, this boy is so handsome and has such a good temperament." Many female alchemists looked at Xiao Yan with shining eyes.

"It would be great if I had a boyfriend like this!"

"With your looks? Stop fangirling. Have you seen the Dou Qi wings behind him? He is so young, but he has already transformed his Dou Qi into wings. Even if he isn't a disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen, he would still have a bright future. How can a little bumpkin like you match him?"

"What did you say? Even if he doesn't like me, he would definitely not like you, you vixen!"

"Who are you calling a vixen!"

"I'm calling you, you little bitch!"

Two female alchemists got into a fight in the square because of Xiao Yan.
