Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Strong Contenders Appear One After Another

The Gu Family knew what it meant for them when Jing Yan became the Holy Hall Master.

They also understood what hiddenagenda Jing Yan had in hosting the Pill Dao Conference. Especially since Jing Yan introduced various rare elixirs as gimmicks for the conference, wasn’t it obvious he wanted to attract the many powerful individuals across the continent to attend?

With those elixirs as bait, the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners who were loose cultivators would probably not hesitate to offer their services to Jing Yan in exchange for the elixirs.

Especially the rumored, incredibly effective Longevity Pill!

Even the Ancient Family Ancestor himself desperately wanted to obtain the Longevity Pill. After all, his lifespan wasn’t much longer; he had lived close to two thousand years. Though he had consumed some treasures that increased his lifespan, his life was indeed approaching the late stages.

If he could extend his lifespan by a few hundred years, how could the Ancient Family Ancestor not be tempted? But the problem was, for the Gu Family to obtain the Longevity Pill from Jing Yan would be absolutely difficult.

"No way!"

"We absolutely cannot let Jing Yan’s Pill Dao Conference proceed smoothly!" The Ancient Family Ancestor and a group of high-ranking Gu Family members all shared the same opinion.

Jing Yan alone was already giving the Gu Family a hard time.

If they allowed Jing Yan to establish his own private army of Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners, wouldn’t that spell disaster?

The vast Gu Family thus mobilized, aiming to disrupt the Pill Dao Conference at the Splendid Dojo from multiple angles.

Elsewhere in the Heavenly Origin Continent, within a forest,

"Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill?"

"What a treasure! I’m already in the late stage of the Dao Emperor Realm; if I could get some of those pills, I’m confident that I could step into the peak of Dao Emperor Realm in the short term!"

"I’m going to that Pill Dao Conference!"

From within a secluded thatched cottage deep in the forest, a white-robed elder stepped out, gazing towards the distant sky. His figure flickered, vanishing from the spot.

In the Heavenly Origin Continent, within an underground palace,

A black figure seemed to completely merge with the darkness.

"Ga ga ga~"

"I’ve lived for two thousand years and never heard of any Longevity Pill. Holy City? Jing Yan, the Tenth Hall Master of the Holy Hall?"

"Ga ga ga! This old man wants to see if this brat’s Longevity Pill truly has such effects."

The black shadow let out a chilling laugh.

At the same time, in various places of the Heavenly Origin Continent, whether incredibly secretive or within small cities and towns,

Figures were flying towards the Holy City.

Indeed, this Pill Dao Conference organized by Jing Yan had shaken the entire continent.

Of course, since the theme was a pill discussion, Pill Masters were indispensable.

A great number of Pill Masters, filled with pure desire, wanted to head to the Holy City to hear Jing Yan’s Alchemy Dao. Even those from Alchemy Dao Families were preparing to send their clan’s younger generation to the city.

That’s because the Pill Dao Conference at the Splendid Dojo placed no restrictions on the participation of members from Alchemy Dao Families.

The Wan Family, the foremost Alchemy Dao Family!

On the continent, when it comes to the Alchemy Dao, the Wan Family was undoubtedly a benchmark.

The Wan Family may not have a Great Alchemist King, but the number of eighth-level Pill Masters in the Wan Family is also extremely high. The ninth-level Elixirs produced by the Wan Family are abundant, and I’m afraid that when tallied, even Hu Donghe’s Pill Country may not have more.

"Esteemed Kui Long, our Ancestor is waiting for you, please follow me." Outside the Wan Family’s residence, the Wan Family Patriarch personally came out to welcome the Third Hall Master of the Holy Hall, Kui Long.

"Wan Clan Leader, lead the way quickly!" A keen light flickered continuously in Kui Long’s eyes.

He was, of course, in a hurry!

Ever since confirming the effectiveness of the Longevity Pill, Kui Long has been thinking nonstop about obtaining the Longevity Pill from Jing Yan.

However, after being taught a lesson by Jing Yan in the Holy Palace, Kui Long clearly did not dare to offend Jing Yan again. Therefore, he tried every possible means to get his hands on the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew.

But indeed, the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew is very hard to find.

Kui Long thought of the Wan Family.

The Wan Family is the first Alchemy Dao Family on the Continent, collecting countless rare treasures. Kui Long sent a message to the Wan Family, asking them to prepare as much Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew as possible.

Kui Long was also afraid Jing Yan wouldn’t trade the Longevity Pill with him, for he had offended Jing Yan. Jing Yan might be willing to trade with other Hall Masters, but not necessarily with him. Hence, he must obtain as much Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew as possible, no matter the cost, to trade for the Longevity Pill from Jing Yan, even if it meant offering more of the dew.

During this period, Kui Long has shamelessly been visiting Jing Yan every few days.

Each time they met, he would ask if there was anything he could help Jing Yan with.

Jing Yan was building the Splendid Dojo, and setting up a Big Array in the dojo, and Kui Long had indeed contributed a lot. Although Jing Yan didn’t show him much kindness, in front of Jing Yan, Kui Long always had a smile on his face.

Jing Yan ignored him, but he followed Jing Yan around. Whenever there was work to be done, he would immediately volunteer to do it and, after finishing, he would shamelessly and lewdly smile, asking Jing Yan if he was satisfied. Faced with Kui Long’s behavior, Jing Yan was helpless and let him be.

Several days ago, the Wan Family Ancestor sent a message to him, saying that they had found the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew, so he immediately rushed over.

Deep within the Wan Family’s residence, in a low black building, Kui Long met with the Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua. Wan Zhonghua’s Martial Arts Cultivation was also at the Dao Emperor Realm. As for his Alchemy Dao skill, he was a top-notch eighth-level pill master, just one step away from becoming a ninth-level pill master.

Although not yet a ninth-level pill master, this Ancestor of the Wan Family possessed Source Power, and his ability in Alchemy Dao was also extremely strong. The number of ninth-level Elixirs flowing from his hands was indeed substantial.

On the Continent, Wan Zhonghua’s influence among Pill Masters was said to be second only to the Great Alchemist King Hu Donghe.

As soon as Kui Long entered the building, his eyes slightly narrowed. Because inside this room, there was not only the Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua, but also many senior members of the Wan Family.

What did this mean?

Kui Long’s first thought was why so many people were gathered here, what did it mean.

He came to the Wan Family just to get the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew. Once he got what he came for, he would immediately leave.

One of Kui Long’s concubines was the daughter of an elder from the Wan Family. By seniority, there were several Supreme Elders within the Wan Family who were senior to him. But in fact, even the Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua had to remain humble in front of Kui Long.

Just because Kui Long was a practitioner at the Late Stage of the Dao Emperor Realm, and he was also the Third Hall Master of the Holy Hall.

Otherwise, that elder wouldn’t have allowed his daughter to become a concubine of Kui Long.

"Esteemed Kui Long!"

Upon seeing Kui Long, everyone in the room stood up to greet him. Even the Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua got up, his face breaking into a smile as he greeted Kui Long.

"My Lords, are you all here waiting for me?" Kui Long asked as his eyes flickered.

"Palace Master Kui Long, indeed, we have been waiting for you," Wan Zhonghua nodded.

"Do you have something to tell me? Ancestor, have you prepared the item I requested?" Kui Long was slightly displeased; if the Wan Family did not have the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew ready, he would definitely be unhappy.

Kui Long already had some negative views on the Wan Family. If it weren’t for the Wan Family, he wouldn’t have ended up offending Jing Yan in the Holy Palace like that.
