Chapter 2789
“Elder Suo, since you’re on your own, why not travel together? We can look after one another!”
The Third Elder quickly spoke up upon noticing that Suo Xingyue was alone.
After all, forming a good relationship with the referee early on would make the upcoming Pill Master meeting much easier!
“That’s exactly what I was thinking!” Suo Xingyue replied with a nod. In truth, he was eager to learn more about Kai and understand how he had become such a strong Pill Master!
Thus, a group of them began their journey toward Jialing County!
As they traveled, Suo Xingyue turned to Kai and asked, “Little friend, may I inquire about your current level of pill refining strength?”
“Pill-making strength?” Kai furrowed his brow slightly. He had no idea that pill refiners were categorized into different realms, as no one had informed him about it!
“Suo Changlao, Mr. Chen hasn’t undergone any testing at our Jade Tripod Sect yet, so he’s unaware of his pill master grade!”
Seeing the confusion, the Third Elder quickly interjected!
Upon hearing this, Suo Xingyue nodded and remarked, “I see it hasn’t been assessed yet, but I believe your pill refining strength is quite impressive—at least at the third-grade medium level!”
Kai listened intently to Suo Xingyue’s comments, and through their conversation, he learned that in the Celestial Human Realm, pill refiners were classified into nine grades, with each grade further divided into upper, middle, and lower levels!
The higher the rank of the pill refiner, the more advanced the pills they could produce. However, the ability to refine pills did not solely depend on the refiner’s strength; factors such as medicinal materials, the type of furnace, and the flames used also played a crucial role!
Thus, a senior pill refiner with a God-grade furnace and some immortal herbs could potentially create a true immortal pill!
Following Suo Xingyue’s discussion enriched Kai’s knowledge about the history of pill refining in the Celestial Realm, and he absorbed a wealth of information!
Regardless, it was clear that the Danyang Sect was significantly more powerful than the Jade Tripod Sect!
After all, an elder from the Danyang Sect would not have been appointed as a judge otherwise; this suggested that the Danyang Sect’s skills in pill refining were highly regarded in the region!
As they continued their journey, night began to fall.
Suddenly, a massive city came into view!
“Here we are—Jialing County! Every time I arrive, I’m struck by its grandeur…”
The Third Elder gazed at the vast and magnificent city before him, unable to contain his admiration!
Ikh, too, looked at Jialing County and exclaimed, “It’s absolutely spectacular! The beast race could never match the humans in terms of construction.”
While Ikh’s Demon Emperor City was also large and impressive, it paled in comparison to Jialing County; it was simply not in the same league!
If Ikh’s Demon Emperor City was akin to a big tiled house, then Jialing County could be described as a grand villa!
“Mr. Chen, be aware that entering Jialing County is strictly for personal disputes only. If any conflicts arise, they should be resolved in the designated fighting rings,”
the Third Elder whispered to Kai, offering a reminder!
Kai nodded in understanding, and the group proceeded into Jialing County!
Upon entering through the city gates, they found themselves in a bustling square, dominated by a towering statue!
The statue depicted an elderly man holding a lingzhi-like object to his nose, seemingly taking in its aroma!
“Mr. Chen, this statue represents Ge Zhichuan, the founder of our pill refiners, commonly known as the Pill Elder,”
the Third Elder explained quietly to Kai!
Kai felt a bit astonished that such a statue would be prominently displayed in the square of Jialing County. After all, one might expect a statue of a revered Pill Elder to be erected by a specialized pill refining clan rather than in a city like Jialing County!
Could it be that the Lord of Jialing County was also a Pill Master?
