Chapter 326: Nine Profound Golden Thunders Shake Zhongzhou! Chu Yang Desires to Go to Dragon Emperor
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
The thunder that shook the heavens sounded like a golden dragon roaring in defiance, but no matter how it struggled, it could not break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Gate.
Chu Yang strolled leisurely to the front of the Heavenly Gate, reached out and grabbed, then gently pulled, and a bolt of Nine Profound Golden Lightning was detached from the Thunder Dragon.
Chu Yang tossed the Nine Profound Golden Lightning to the Pill Tower Ancestor and asked with a smile, "Senior, is that enough?"
The old patriarch of the Dan Tower accepted it with a complicated expression. "One strand is enough; I am not worthy of more!"
The elders of the Dan Tower below were completely dumbfounded.
That's the Nine Profound Golden Thunder!
Even a high-level Dou Sheng would have to be careful, but Chu Yang easily countered him and could even talk and laugh with ease.
Chu Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at the golden thunder dragon, muttering, "I went to so much trouble to lure you here, don't disappoint me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white threads overflowing from the Heavenly Gate suddenly surged wildly, instantly enveloping the golden thunder dragon completely and transforming it into a huge white ball of light.
The white light then rapidly shrank, and once it was compressed to the size of a fist, Chu Yang gently beckoned and grasped it in his palm. The Heavenly Gate trembled slightly and slowly dissipated.
The thunderclouds that had blotted out the sun only dissipated when the Big Dipper and the Purple Star disappeared from the sky.
At this moment, all living beings in the Pill Domain breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had just escaped from the gates of hell.
At the same time, they also understood that from this day forward, the status of Danta on the continent would be further elevated!
If the Pill Tower was once considered a top power on the continent, it will one day be able to be compared with the seven ancient races!
Even though the overall strength of the Pill Tower is not as good as that of the seven ancient clans, they have a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemist in charge, which is enough!
On the Dou Qi Continent, there is no shortage of old monsters whose lifespan is about to end, or powerful individuals who have encountered bottlenecks and can no longer advance in their lives.
A ninth-grade Golden Core alchemist is enough to help any powerful individual extend their lifespan or break through to a higher realm.
Of course, this does not include experts at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm.
The next step for them is the Emperor Realm. Those who reach this level know that the reason they cannot break through is not because of insufficient talent or comprehension, nor because of insufficient resources.
Rather, it's because the Dou Qi Continent lacks a crucial factor that allows people to break through to the Dou Di realm.
Therefore, even a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemist cannot help with this.
However, for many veteran Dou Sheng level experts, the ability to break through bottlenecks or extend lifespan is fatally attractive.
Most of these people are the founders of a certain power or the pillars of a family.
Once they fall, the status of their respective factions or families will plummet.
Everyone knows that as long as that ninth-grade Golden Core alchemist from the Pill Tower makes a statement, countless powerful individuals will flock to him.
In other words, having the only ninth-grade Golden Core alchemist on the continent means that the Pill Tower has a money tree and a powerful army!
The top floor of the Dan Tower is a small, independent world.
This is the location of the Little Dan Tower Elder Council, and outsiders are always forbidden from entering.
The elders of the Little Pill Tower only gather here when discussing important matters.
Today, however, an exception was made. Not only was Chu Yang invited as a guest elder, but even his disciple Tang Huo'er was invited.
In addition, this was also the most complete gathering of the top leaders of the Danta in recent centuries.
Even the elusive patriarch of the Divine Dragon Swordsman was present.
"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older. Even in ancient times, the founder of the Pill Tower didn't possess such talent as you, young friend!"
The old patriarch of the Pill Tower looked at Chu Yang and praised him without reservation, becoming more and more satisfied with him.
Lin Laoguai and the others hesitated several times, unsure how to prompt him, their faces turning red with embarrassment.
"What's wrong with you little ones?"
The patriarch of the Pill Tower noticed their unusual demeanor and frowned, asking, "Our Pill Tower has produced such a genius, who might even reach the Emperor rank in the future. Why are you all so dejected?"
"Uh..." Old Monster Lin had no way to explain himself, so he turned his head and glared at Xuan Kongzi, signaling him to explain the situation.
Xuan Kongzi could only force a smile and say, "Ancestor... actually... young friend Chu Yang is not a member of my Pill Tower!"
Upon hearing this, the smiling, youthful face of the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower froze instantly, his eyes widened, and he felt as if he had plummeted from a great height to the bottom of a valley.
Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Chu Yang smiled and said, "I am indeed not a disciple of the Pill Tower, but my ability to break through to the ninth rank and refine a ninth-rank golden pill in one fell swoop is inseparable from the help of the Pill Tower."
"If you seniors are willing, I can serve as a nominal elder in the Pill Tower."
The old patriarch of the Dan Tower's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Excellent!"
As an old monster who has lived through several eras, he rarely experiences such intense emotional fluctuations as he does today, let alone lose his composure in front of a group of younger generations.
But precisely because he had lived through several eras, no one understood better than the Ancestor of the Pill Tower what a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master meant!
Chu Yang took out a jade box, gently placed it on the table, and then said:
"This is the ninth-grade golden pill. I have already destroyed its intelligence and placed a seal on it."
"With the seal in place, the medicinal properties will not be lost no matter how much time passes."
"I've made a rough estimate. Any expert below the Dou Di level, as long as they have a breath left, can be lively and energetic again after taking just one-tenth of the pills."
Chu Yang paused, and under the intense gazes of the elders of the Pill Tower, gently pushed the jade box forward, then smiled and said:
"As I mentioned before, I will give half of the pills I refine to the Pill Tower as a token of my gratitude."
"However, this elixir is useless to me, so I'll do you a favor and give it to the Pill Tower!"
Chu Yang's words were very straightforward, but everyone understood that the so-called favor was just an excuse. His real purpose was probably to treat the matter between him and Danta as a transaction.
In this way, even if Chu Yang goes to war with the three ancient races in the future, the latter will not take their anger out on the Pill Tower.
However, Chu Yang's appointment as a nominal elder brought him closer to the Pill Tower.
But no one could really make a big deal out of this, because many members of the Dan Tower came from various powerful factions.
Here, everyone interacts as alchemists, regardless of any powerful backers.
Moreover, the Dan Tower has always been a neutral force and has never participated in factional conflicts, which is why it has been able to stand the test of time.
Old Monster Lin looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor. Chu Yang had considered things very carefully and handled things flawlessly. It would be unreasonable for the Pill Tower not to reciprocate.
The patriarch of the Pill Tower pondered for a moment, then said, "Young friend, your refining of a ninth-grade golden pill in the Pill Tower has elevated the status of our Pill Tower on the continent to a new level."
"You have also shown me the kindness of receiving the elixir and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder. If you ever need anything in the future, this old man will be there whenever you call!"
The Ancestor of the Pill Tower is about to break through to the Six-Star Dou Sheng realm, and his true form will also transform into a Ninth-Rank Golden Core, with a very high potential for the future.
His promise undoubtedly carries great weight.
In his view, no matter how strong Chu Yang is, as long as he has not broken through to the Emperor Realm, he will always need some help when facing opponents of the level of the Seven Ancient Clans.
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, not taking it too seriously.
His current strength is comparable to that of a high-level Dou Sheng, and he is even capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with a peak Dou Sheng expert.
Once his cultivation improves further, he is confident that he can fight even a Dou Di level expert.
Chu Yang never took the three ancient races seriously. His many plans in the Northwest region were simply to prevent the Yunlan Sect from dying before it could grow up.
After chatting for a while, Old Monster Lin stood up and said, "Young friend Chu Yang, these are the medicinal herbs you need..."
As he spoke, he handed over a storage ring.
Chu Yang reached out and took it, sweeping it over with his soul power. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Elder, this..."
Old Man Lin waved his hand and said, "Young friend Chu Yang, we are not ungrateful people. Please accept this small token of our appreciation!"
Chu Yang's refining of a ninth-grade golden pill at the Pill Tower had a tremendous positive impact on the Pill Tower, a force of alchemists, and could be described as a debt of gratitude heavier than Mount Tai. That's why Old Monster Lin provided double the amount of medicinal materials on that list.
You must know that these medicinal herbs are all needed to refine ninth-grade pills. Taking them all out at once, and double the amount at that, would be a devastating blow even to the Pill Tower.
Hearing this, Chu Yang no longer stood on ceremony, put away the storage ring, pondered for a moment, and then smiled:
"Esteemed seniors, I wish to make a trip to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void. Would you be so kind as to offer me an introduction?"
Chu Yang knew that the Pill Tower and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan had some connection, after all, the sealing of the Three Thousand Burning Flames was partly due to the efforts of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
The Ancestor of the Pill Tower replied without hesitation, "No problem, I will help you make the contact. However, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void is currently divided. Which faction do you wish to meet?"
"Donglong Island!" Chu Yang narrowed his eyes.
The old patriarch of the Dan Tower frowned and said, "Although Donglong Island is the legitimate successor of the Dragon Emperor, the old Dragon Emperor and his bloodline have been missing for many years, and the island is gradually declining..."
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I don't intend to interfere in the internal strife of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I just want to ask for a favor."
Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower nodded and said no more.
For the next few days, Chu Yang remained in seclusion in the Small Pill Tower, either studying pill formulas or guiding Tang Huo'er in her cultivation.
The fighting technique he passed on to Tang Huo'er was originally obtained from Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi.
He integrated fist techniques, sword techniques, and mental techniques into one, and made slight improvements, making it a top-notch fighting technique with no weaknesses in any aspect.
With a pure heart and Chu Yang's personal guidance, Tang Huo'er made rapid progress, not only comprehending a trace of the true meaning of Tai Chi, but also breaking through to the Dou Zun realm.
As Tang Huo'er's understanding of Tai Chi deepened, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire became increasingly useless, which highlighted the benefits of Chu Yang's initial change to its foundation.
Over time, Tang Huo'er will gradually break free from her dependence on the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in her cultivation technique and create her own unique Tai Chi system.
When that time comes, Chu Yang will be able to teach her a new cultivation technique, allowing her to undergo a complete transformation.
During this period, the Pill Domain became more lively than ever before, with almost all the alchemists in the Central Continent coming to see the legendary ninth-grade Golden Pill alchemy master.
Various factions also sent people to gather information, and some even visited the higher-ups of the Dan Tower to test the waters.
To reiterate, if it is confirmed that the ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master is from the Pill Tower, then even the seven ancient clans will have to redefine the Pill Tower.
The response from the Kadanta has always been ambiguous, neither confirming nor denying, leaving all parties uncertain.
In fact, Danta's goal was very simple: to maximize its profits from this incident while helping Chu Yang cover it up.
In their view, Chu Yang was not yet capable of directly confronting the three ancient races.
Once his identity as a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master is exposed, the three ancient clans who had a grudge against him will have to make a decision.
It's either a handshake and a reconciliation, or it's strangled!
However, the events that occurred in the Northwest region were in the wrong of the three ancient races. If they wanted to make peace, they would have to admit their mistakes.
But as bloodlines of the Dou Di, how could they willingly submit?
It must be said that the Dan Tower Ancestor was very efficient, or more accurately, he was particularly concerned about Chu Yang's affairs.
In just five days, the Ancestor of the Pill Tower brought a half-saint to the small world.
"Young friend Chu Yang, this is Elder Qingjiao, the patriarch of the Qingjiao clan, a vassal of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
The patriarch of the Pill Tower personally introduced the two, and then pointed to Chu Yang and said, "This is a guest elder of my Pill Tower. Although he is young, his strength is no less than mine, and his alchemy skills are superb."
His introduction of Chu Yang was somewhat ambiguous, failing to specify either his cultivation level or the grade of his medicine refining.
But Elder Qingjiao was a shrewd man; his eyes narrowed slightly, and he politely cupped his hands towards Chu Yang, saying, "Greetings, young friend Chu Yang!"
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "I presume you already know, senior, that I wish to make a trip to Ancient Dragon Island..."
The Azure Dragon Elder patted his chest and said, "Young friend, rest assured, I have already contacted the Third Elder of East Dragon Island. He will personally greet us after we enter the void!"
Chu Yang glanced at the Pill Tower Ancestor. He knew that even though the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was beset by internal and external troubles, it was still one of the three major races of magical beasts. Compared to the seven ancient races, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
The fact that the other party allowed him, an outsider, to enter was already a great honor for the Pill Tower. Now, with a half-saint level expert leading the way and elders welcoming him, the Pill Tower must have paid a price.
Of course, if it were an ordinary powerful individual, even if they paid a great price, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void would probably not be willing to pay.
This was probably to give face to the patriarch of the Pill Tower, especially since the Pill Tower recently produced a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master, which caused quite a stir in the Central Continent.
For the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, being able to gain some benefits and do a favor for a peak five-star Dou Sheng expert and a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemy master was something they naturally had no reason to refuse.
"In that case, let's set off!"
Chu Yang collected his thoughts, smiled at the Azure Dragon Elder, and then looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor and said:
"Senior, I wish you all the best in taking that step!"
The Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower laughed heartily and said, "Thank you for your kind words!" (End of this chapter)
