"You are all involved, so your focus is on Ling Zhuo's magical Source Spirit Crystal. After witnessing it with your own eyes, you are more afraid of its power. But what is more important is that because of the existence of the Source Spirit Crystal, Ling Zhuo is truly a being completely unrestricted by the Mist Mountain."
"If this had happened in the past, we would have just said that Ling Zhuo was lucky, but this time is different! If there really is a spy in the Pill Tower, could it be that someone specially chose this competition environment that is most suitable for Ling Zhuo to perform? After all, in the past, the Pill Tower competition was completely different in the second test because there was no intervention from the Spirit Clan."
"Those qualified to decide the test levels are probably the three giants of the Dan Tower?" Yao Qingyu frowned, a near-horrifying truth was being revealed.
"Is the spy one of the three giants of the Dan Tower?"
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head, not in a hurry to draw a conclusion: "We still don't have enough information. Mainly, we can't confirm who proposed this competition format. The person who actively requested this format seems highly suspicious!"
In the end, Little Fairy Doctor didn't speak definitively, since these were just analyses based on the current situation and might not necessarily be the truth.
Although Little Fairy Doctor maintained the most rational attitude, it did not prevent others from making their own judgments at this moment.
Wei Jiangyuan's personality meant he didn't care about the consequences at all, so he analyzed directly: "The real old guys in the Pill Tower probably won't care about this kind of thing, so the right to choose the competition format falls into the hands of the people in charge of the Pill Tower."
"And now the three giants of the Pill Tower are Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Leizi, and President Xuan Yi."
"As the head of the three giants of Xuan Kongzi, and with his close ties to the Pill Tower, I don't believe he would be willing to go to the Spirit Clan as a mere supporting elder. President Xuan Yi might be a possibility, but she would never gamble with Qingyu's safety, so she is the least likely."
"The prime suspect is naturally Xuan Lei Zi!"
Wei Jiangyuan slowly revealed his answer, but everyone present felt a chill creep down their spines. Could it be that the bribes the Spirit Clan had given to the Pill Tower's leaders weren't just for show, a mere formality?
"I still can't believe it. If it's President Xuan Leizi, what would he be after?" Dan Chen also took the initiative to defend Xuan Leizi at this moment.
"I don't know, but who can really know what price the descendants of Dou Di are willing to offer?"
If the Spirit Race were to truly dethrone a giant of the Pill Tower, the resulting changes to the Pill Tower would be unimaginable.
"So what do we do now? We need to explain this clearly, otherwise this operation to collect the Three Thousand Burning Flames will be extremely dangerous!"
Although Cao Ying and Dan Chen were both trained by the Pill Tower, Cao Ying had more experience and was not as naive as Dan Chen. At this moment, she took the initiative to ask questions.
She and Dan Chen had initially confirmed that collecting the Three Thousand Burning Flames was safe, but now that she sensed someone among the Pill Tower's leaders had defected to the Spirit Race, everything was about to spiral out of control.
"We had already decided to have a special talk with the people from Danta tomorrow, but given the current situation, we don't even know who we can trust, so we're taking the initiative to ask you two."
Cao Ying and Dan Chen's identities are somewhat sensitive, since they were initially controlled by the Spirit Clan and their lives were not in their own hands. Naturally, they both hate and fear the Spirit Clan.
Now that he has returned to the Pill Tower, and under the spotlight of the Pill Gathering, he has become one of the few people Xiao Yan can trust.
"Given the current situation, we must inform the elders of the Little Pill Tower!" Cao Ying suddenly made up her mind.
"Little Pill Tower?" This was the first time Xiao Yan had encountered this new term.
Cao Ying explained, "That's right, the Lesser Pill Tower can be said to be the true essence of the Pill Tower! All the hidden masters of the Pill Tower are in the Lesser Pill Tower. Speaking of which, Venerable Medicine once entered the Lesser Pill Tower, but later chose to withdraw."
If what Little Fairy Doctor said is true, then its impact is already too great, and it requires someone with even greater strength to take control!
The few of them just talking here can't really solve the fundamental problem.
boom!
A slight tremor suddenly came from the jade brick floor, and a tremor came from underfoot.
All of them were at the Dou Zong or Dou Zun level, and they immediately noticed the change. After exchanging glances, they confirmed that their judgment was correct. The Pill Tower was shaking, and everyone here could feel that something unexpected had happened.
"What's going on?" Wei Jiangyuan asked proactively.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen, both members of the Pill Tower, also looked bewildered.
"Let's go out and take a look," Xiao Yan said cautiously.
"Such a commotion, could it be that one of the alchemy masters from the Pill Tower is trying something new?" The commotion not only affected Xiao Yan and his group inside, but also Lei Jingxiao and his group outside.
"In my memory, while masters do occasionally attempt things in the Pill Tower, causing quite a commotion, it shouldn't be this obvious," Cao Ying, the only one who had stayed in the Pill Tower for a long time, said, her brows furrowed with confusion. Clearly, she and Xiao Yan were equally curious: what exactly had just happened?
"Young Master, shall I go and investigate?" Fei Tian offered.
Xiao Yan nodded. Although they had lived in the Pill Tower for a long time without any unexpected incidents, today's commotion was simply too great. Even if someone was attempting to refine medicine, they had to go and see for themselves.
Just as Fei Tian grabbed the doorknob, something unexpected happened!
boom--
"Watch out!" Several voices rang out at the same time.
Fei Tian clearly didn't react that quickly. Three powerful and unstoppable auras burst through the door, shattering the thick door panel made of black iron like thin paper. The powerful battle qi impact spread out immediately, and Fei Tian was instantly shattered by the impact, flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Xiao Yan reacted quickly and caught Fei Tian in mid-air.
"The person who came is a Dou Zun, young master, be careful!" Fei Tian reminded Xiao Yan even as he coughed up blood.
Xiao Yan had already sensed the strength of the intruders using his soul power. Several Dou Zun level experts had actually appeared in the core area of the Pill Tower. What exactly happened in the Pill Tower tonight?
