Chapter 230: Herb Plaza, Refining the Energy Condensation Pill

"Tell me, how did you end up here in the Alchemy World, Zi Yan? If you came looking for me, shouldn't you have gone to the Sacred Pill City?" asked Xiao Ze curiously.

Zi Yan laughed and replied, "Actually, I was on my way to Sacred Pill City to look for you, but as I got closer, I accidentally discovered the existence of the Alchemy World."

"You know I have a special talent for finding treasures, so I detected that there are many rare herbs inside the Alchemy World, and I couldn't resist entering."

"The more precious herbs we collect, the more pills you can make."

Xiao Ze rolled his eyes. "You're really trying to kill me with exhaustion."

Suddenly, Xiao Ze realized that in the Alchemy World there were countless herbs. And finding the most valuable ones would be much easier with Zi Yan's treasure-hunting ability.

"Right, since you're here, Zi Yan, why don't you help me collect rare herbs from the Alchemy World?"

"Sure, but in return, I want you to make pills for me to eat," Zi Yan said while popping a pill into her mouth.

"Deal."

Seeing how quickly they reached an agreement, Xiong Zhan couldn't help but purse his lips. According to Qing Lin, Xiao Ze had come to protect the Alchemy World, but now it seemed he was looting it.

However, seeing how enthusiastic they were, Xiong Zhan didn't dare interrupt them. After all, one was the little miss, and the other was an eighth-level alchemist.

"By the way, Xiao Ze, can you help Big Bear increase his power? That way, I can collect herbs more easily in the Alchemy World."

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiong Zhan felt moved. Little miss, you finally remember I exist.

Xiao Ze looked at Xiong Zhan and quickly said something that surprised him:

"Xiong Zhan seems to be on the verge of breaking through to the next stage."

Xiong Zhan was surprised. He couldn't measure Xiao Ze's strength, but Xiao Ze could discern his state with just a glance. The difference between them was evident.

"It's true, I've been at the peak of the seventh level for a long time, but I haven't been able to break through to the eighth level."

"I just obtained a pill that can increase the chances of breaking through to the Dou Zun stage, the Energy Condensation Pill. It can help you break through."

"This..." Xiong Zhan hesitated.

Zi Yan frowned and said, "What are you hesitating for, Big Bear? If you advance to Dou Zun, we can collect more herbs and help Xiao Ze."

"Ha ha ha, you're right. How ridiculous of me to doubt."

Xiong Zhan hit his chest and said, "Xiao Ze, if you can make that Energy Condensation Pill and help me break through to Dou Zun, all the herbs from the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains will be yours."

"But I'm missing some herbs for the pill."

"Then let's go to my cave. I have many herbs stored there."

They decided to head to the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains.

Meanwhile, Elder Liu Tian, seeing that Xiao Ze hadn't returned, sighed.

"Xiao Ze is taking too long. I'd better go patrol."

With Liu Tian's strength, patrolling the entire Alchemy World would take quite some time, but having accepted this mission, he had to do something.

From afar, Xiao Ze saw the imposing mountains. The Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains lived up to their name, impressive to behold.

The mountains stretched like a giant dragon, covered in mist formed by dense energy. The mist wasn't natural moisture but condensed energy.

With the leader of the mountains guiding them, they encountered no problems along the way. All the beasts submitted to them.

Soon they reached the center of the mountains, where a gigantic peak stood. The mountain, enveloped in dense energy and mist, seemed to touch the sky.

—My cave is at the top of that mountain.

Following Xiong Zhan, they arrived at the top. Two seventh-level beasts guarded the entrance, and upon seeing Xiong Zhan, they bowed their heads in respect. Although Xiong Zhan had not yet reached the Dou Zun level, his strength at the peak of the seventh level surpassed other beasts of his level due to his dragon lineage.

Inside the stone hall, they walked through several corridors until they reached a large plaza. The aroma of herbs was overwhelming, even stronger than that of the herb pool. Xiao Ze saw a plaza full of rare herbs. Qing Lin, who had seen many herbs with Xiao Ze, was astonished.

In the plaza, invaluable herbs were arranged as if they were common vegetables.

—Xiao Ze, take the herbs you need.

Xiong Zhan spoke proudly, smiling as he saw the surprise on Xiao Ze's face. Impressing an eighth-level alchemist was no easy task.

—Then I won't be modest, Xiong Zhan.

Xiao Ze walked through the plaza, searching for the herbs needed for the Energy Condensation Pill. Soon he found them and prepared two sets, just in case.

In front of the stone room prepared by Xiong Zhan, Xiao Ze said:

—This is my first time making a mid-level eighth-grade pill. Do not disturb me. I can handle the pill thunder.

—Don't worry, to get here they must pass through my beasts and me.

Xiao Ze smiled, and after ensuring Qing Lin and Zi Yan were safe, he began preparing the pill.

Zi Yan, bored, continued eating pills.

—I wonder how long it will take. I should have asked for more pills from Xiao Ze.

Xiong Zhan silently agreed. It was better to turn the herbs into pills than to leave them at the mercy of the little lady.

Qing Lin smiled. Only Zi Yan could absorb the energy of the pills so easily. Qing Lin sat on a stone platform and began to meditate.

—Qing Lin has the Green Serpent Eyes and trains so diligently. No wonder her strength grows so quickly —Zi Yan said, continuing to eat pills. For her, eating herbs was the best way to train.
