189 PILL BREWERS LIST
“What is the reaction you are expecting from the families.”
“In the internal strife 100 years ago, I used my full power to suppress them and limit their influence over the valley itself. The whole thing was designed by us so that the will of our ancestors could be executed perfectly.”
“Do you know the real motive regarding the creation of pill valley?”
“Wasn’t it to promote the art of alchemy.”
“Although the motive I sowhat similar, the background story was changed quite a bit. The ten alchemists who ca together to create the Pill valley were not strangers. They originated from the sa place.” The woman was shocked upon hearing this. How could the ten alchemists belong to the sa force? Wouldn’t that an that the heaven for alchemists was just a derived power from sowhere else?
“The original force to which the ten people belong to is a secret guarded by the lineage of the ten families and the grand elders of the valley. It is one of the reasons behind your father pushing you so hard into training. He was a genius, but the era during which he erged had another 2 bastards.”
“When he found out that his daughter’s talent was so strong, he couldn’t help but be overwheld by the pressure of training you. He wanted you to achieve the dream he couldn’t. It was also the reason behind being assigned with the duty to train you. He wants you to grow capable enough to enter the parent power of the pill valley.”
“The internal conflict caused a hundred years ago was sothing no one among us could predict. I wasn’t interested in the throne, but I couldn’t just sit around and allow the force to eat itself out. It was the reason behind suppressing the ten families. It was not easy and the scar which developed due to the incident is even deeper.”
“Weren’ you the most powerful of the three successors? Wouldn’t that naturally make you the strongest within the whole Pill valley?”
.....
“You underestimate the true strength of the Pill Valley. Do you believe that a power which is known to be the hegemon in alchemy could survive in the central plains with just Qi emperors as its masters?”
Now that the woman thought about it, she was quite shocked. The central plains were filled with monarch level powers. It was a given fact that the pill valley must have a secret force that was capable enough of tackling those powers.
“The real strength of the valley lies sowhere else. Those bastards wouldn’t involve themselves in the matter of the Valley. Once the sect master crossed the boundary of the Qi emperor, he was to appoint a new successor. The sa went for the leaders of the various families. I was banned by one of my ancestors. The restriction on the sect masters and elders is quite harsh, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for family heads.”
“The ten families went silent during the ti of the tribulation. Although we successfully managed to fend off the valley from the clutches of the evil sect, the power diminished quite a bit. The sect master must be busy recreating the sect to its forr strength, while the ten families would be doing the sa. But 100 years have already passed since the incident. It is a long ti for hatching a great number of conspiracies against each other.”

“The Pill Brew competition is a huge milestone to indicate the power of the ten families. They have always managed to the utmost of their abilities. I just hope the boy doesn’t show his real capabilities before the final round.”
“He is quite a cunning fellow. I couldn’t imagine the amount of thought he gives to every single move of his. He must be busy practicing while simultaneously collecting information about the competition. He must have realized the influence of the ten families over the crowd and the pill valley in general.”
“The position he requires to achieve is quite demanding. I am sure he could reach the top 10, but the competition after that is quite cruel. He needs to enter into the top three for our plan to work.”
“Do you rember his words when he was inford about the competition?”
“Are you suggesting that our student will win the 1st rank?”
“I have never seen him wagering a bet he couldn’t win. I guess he will. A huge storm is going to hit the Pill Valley in the coming future. I guess we need to tighten our shoes to go through it.”
“I have a thought in my mind.”
“What is it?”
“How about we present a little test for our disciples to make things a bit complicated for him? I need to see how he performs in the modified circumstances.” The first elder was smiling.
The woman could already derive the idea behind the smile.

Long Tao’s inn-
Long Tao and Su nqi accompanied Lu Ming into the Pill-bloom city to lay low from the world. All eyes were concentrated on the upcoming pill-brew competition and hence it was the perfect spot for hiding. Long Tao was training with the elental energies to open up more accupoints. According to the Keeper, it was necessary to be able to make a connection to a supre mandate.
Su nqi was provided with the concentrated energy balls from the frost spring. She was suppressing the cultivation while training with them. Once Long Tao lectured her about the future pathway in cultivation, she too decided to have a supre law of ice with her.
“Let’s open as many accupoints as you can before entering the King level. If I am not wrong this must be the pathway to make a pact with a supre law. The Crimson Lords never considered the baseline for being able to create a supre law mandate, but your achievents make it possible to test that theory. I guess we must have opened a new pathway of research.”
” I guess there is only one way to find out.”
He was about to get back to his training when a sudden ssage from Lu Ming surprised him for a bit. Apparently, the Pill-brewers list is out. It contained detailed information regarding the top participants of the upcoming pill-brew competition.
Ten families occupied most of the top spots, but a single na managed to draw the most eyes. ‘Lu Ming: Independent alchemist, level 3 interdiate’ was listed in bold letters at 9th place.
