Chapter 64 - The Mighty Pill Tower

"I said I'm not willing. Is there anything else?"

She had never expected to receive such an answer.

Ren Shaoyuan did not know how to respond.

"Why? If there's nothing else, I'll continue to study the array formation."

Study the array formation!

Ren Shaoyuan, who had caught the keyword, reacted.

"Our Pill Tower members have a lot of resources, and what you need to do is very simple. Why not?"

"Because the Pill Tower's matters are very troublesome, and I'm afraid of trouble. I don't have much time, I need to study the array formation."

Hearing such a straightforward rejection again, the Pill Tower deacon was obviously angry.

"Let me get straight to the point. We know that you're studying the ancient inheritance. We need detailed information. What do you need to be willing to trade?"

"Trade what? The details of the inheritance?"

"Yes."

"Your Pill Tower is so powerful. Shouldn't you be able to investigate the specific situation?"

"We are currently hoping for you to investigate."

The corners of Wu Yunfei's mouth curled up.

He had always been dissatisfied with the Pill Tower's strength.

After so many years of guarding the barrier in the south pole's great void, he still needed to ask the Pill Tower for medicinal pills even if he suffered losses.

Fortunately, later on, the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path directly negotiated with the Pill Tower and made a deal. That was a much better outcome.

Now, they even despised the Pill Tower for disturbing his peaceful practice of the array formation.

In Heavenly Water Moon Mirror, there were so many array formation masters to communicate with.

There was also a powerful Emperor-level array formation to study.

This was the happiest time in his cultivation career.

The disciples of the Five Element Sect, who were beside him, were already sweating profusely.

"Alright, find someone else. I'm really not interested in the Pill Tower. If you want pills, I'll directly exchange them with the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path."

"I advise you not to underestimate the Pill Tower's determination and strength. We have plenty of ways to reduce the number of pills that reach your hands."

Wu Yunfei narrowed his eyes, his face suffused with coldness.

"I'll guard the south pole's great void and exchange the pills that the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path bought from you. What can you do?"

"Although the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path are strong, they're not good at pills. We have to do something so that no one will notice."

The Five Elements Sect's disciple also hid the smile on his face and stared at the Voice Transmission Jade Pendant expressionlessly.

It was impossible for the Pill Tower not to know that this investigation was being carried out under the accompaniment of the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path.

Was this a provocation or pressure?

"I have worked hard to protect the front line, but your Pill Tower is already so strong. Do you still want to drag us down?"

"Without the elixirs that we have refined, an itinerant cultivator like you won't be able to keep fighting in the south pole's great void. You won't be able to continue earning points to exchange for resources."

Wu Yunfei immediately cut off his mana and stopped using the Voice Transmission Jade Pendant.

He exchanged glances with the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

"Young hero Wu Yunfei, please be at ease. The Eight Sects of the Righteous Path will not give in on this matter."

Wu Yunfei nodded and returned to the water moon mirror sky impatiently.

Many people were beaming with joy here. Compared to the Pill Tower, they had made a pretty good deal.

The Pill Tower, two levels down from the top of the tower.

The top floor was the place where the old ancestors secluded themselves. No one was allowed to enter.

The second level was the territory of the Pill Tower's master.

Here, the three people sat across from each other.

"The people below have received a lot of news, but none of it is important. They all say that it is an ancient inheritance."

The first to speak was the Pill Tower's first elder, Leng Feng.

"We have received some news. Many people have revealed the improved array formation and weapon refining methods which are in line with the ancient inheritance."

"Just these things alone should not be enough to make the elders think that this incident might topple the status of the Pill Tower."

A sweet-sounding female voice rang out.

"Yin Yu, there is no need to guess. I already know some things."

Wan Longxu, the Tower Master of the Pill Tower, gave out his information.

"Yunxi and I have established contact. They said that they are studying the array formation and refining methods of some ancient ruins."

"If they succeed, they will shrink the south pole hole."

Hearing this, neither the first elder nor the second elder could remain calm.

"Are you serious?"

This important news was too shocking.

"The south pole void was created by the catastrophe of the Myriad Flowers World. What ancient ruins are so powerful that they have a way to repair the World Barrier?"

In a moment of excitement, a barrage of questions came out of his mouth.

Wan Longxu gestured for the two to sit down.

"No one knows what the so-called ancient ruins are about."

"But we can be sure that it is possible to repair the south pole to a certain extent.

"Once the alliance of refiners and array masters does this, their reputation in the Myriad Flowers World will completely overwhelm ours

"And the reputation of the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path, the organizer of this event, will rise to a higher level."

"Only our pill tower is not involved in this event, so we won't be able to gain much credit."

"Then we'll take the initiative to participate and provide more pills to those factions? If we let one of them break through, we'll also have credit, right?" Yin Yu suggested.

"This kind of credit is too little. This way, we'll only be assisting. We have to think of ways to obtain the greatest credit."

"But refining artifacts and arrays aren't things that we're good at, and pills can't repair the south pole's large hole."

"Moreover, the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path have strict control over the information. It's hard for us to interfere."

For a moment, no one was able to come up with anything.

"First, we will provide financial support to those refiners and array masters."

After a long time, Wan Longxu thought of some methods.

"Second, we have to find a way to train array masters and refiners ourselves.

"The pill tower is mainly made up of alchemists, but we can train subordinate forces.

"Bring back the famous talents who haven't gone to the Heavenly Water Moon Mirror. Let's train them together.

"Also, it's the most important point."

Wan Longxu stood up and looked seriously at the first elder and second elder of the Pill Tower.

"If they succeed in comprehending what they need to, the strength they will obtain will definitely be far beyond anyone's imagination."

"Be it array formations or artifact forging, they are not just auxiliary. In fact, they are also powerful offensive abilities!"

"We already have the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path. We can not allow other powers to possibly surpass us."

"What if in the future, alchemists are no longer noble and are instead controlled by others?"

"They may die or get punished for not refining pills. However, it is quite a reach. That day might not necessarily not come."

For alchemists, who had always been the most noble profession, to imagine such a future was unacceptable.

The Eight Sects of the Righteous Path wanted to fight against the extraterrestrial demons. The most important thing was the alliance of everyone.

If the south pole hole was repaired in the future and the battle was no longer as intense, would the demand for alchemists still be so high?

By then, under the control of the Eight Sects of the Righteous Path, although the pills might still be precious, there would definitely be a lower demand.
