Chapter 163 The Three Giants of Danta!
"So it's President Xuan Kongzi. I've heard a lot about you!" Jia He Kongzi was somewhat surprised and said, "I didn't expect that you have heard of an old man like me?"
"I haven't been in public for many years. This time I met a young talent!" Xuan Kongzi laughed.
Jia He smiled and said, "I wonder what President Xuan Kongzi wants to talk to me about?"
Xuan Kongzi looked at Jia He and smiled, "Indeed, I want to find you for something!"
Then Xuan Kongzi asked directly: "I wonder if you are ready to participate in the upcoming alchemy meeting?"
Jia He said: "This Alchemy Conference is a grand event of the Alchemy Tower. Many famous alchemists will participate. Naturally, I also want to make friends with heroes all over the world!"
Xuan Kongzi stroked his beard and smiled, "I see you don't want to make friends, but want to win the Alchemy Championship?"
"This is not something I can get just because I want it. It still depends on the strength of those who participate in the alchemy conference!" Jia He said with a faint smile.
"You seem very confident, but you're right. At your current age, your soul power has reached the spiritual realm, and your strength has reached the eighth level. The eighth-grade elixir just now should not be your full strength, right?" Xuan Kong asked with a smile.
Jia He said: "Perhaps the true strength can be demonstrated at the Alchemy Conference!"
Xuan Kongzi nodded and said, "That's fine. I came here this time because I want you to help Danta with something!"
"If Mr. Xuan doesn't mind, please go to the inn with me and have a chat!" Jia He raised his hand and interrupted Xuan Kongzi.
Xuan Kongzi looked at the people passing by and said immediately, "I didn't think it through. Let's go!"
Soon, Jiahe and others took Xuan Kongzi towards the inn.
Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan, who were following behind Jia He, were looking at Xuan Kongzi with great excitement. Xuan Kongzi was one of the three giants of Danta.
Xuan Kongzi's status in Danta is extremely high. Except for the small Danta who is ignorant of worldly affairs, all the alchemists on the entire continent take the three giants of Danta as their benchmark.
This identity not only represents status and strength, but also tremendous power. After all, Danta is second only to the Soul Palace in terms of status.
What's more, the real ruler of Danta, the ancestor of Danta, is just wandering around, but he does not exist.
After everyone returned to the inn, Jiahe took Xuan Kongzi back to his room.
"Mr. Xuan, please speak!" said Jiahe.
Xuan Kongzi nodded and looked at Jia He and said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of the power of Soul Palace?"
Jia He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I have a grudge against this Soul Palace!"
"Oh? You have a grudge against the Soul Palace?" Xuan Kongzi was immediately surprised.
As a giant of Danta, Xuan Kongzi knows the true strength of Soul Palace. Even Danta does not dare to confront it head-on.
Jia He said: "The people from the Soul Palace wanted to attack me, so we became enemies!"
"The Soul Palace has always acted like this, and many independent alchemists have disappeared over the years. I suspect that it was someone from the Soul Palace who took action in secret!" Xuan Kongzi sighed slightly.
Jia He looked at Xuan Kong Zi and said with a smile: "Master Xuan, did you come to me this time to deal with the Soul Palace?"
Xuan Kongzi looked at Jia He and said, "You are indeed smart. I really want to ask you to help me deal with the Soul Palace!"
"The people of the Soul Palace have been capturing the souls of alchemists for many years, and have been enemies with our Danta for a long time. In particular, the people of the Soul Clan pretended to surrender to our Danta's former tower master and became his disciples. Later, our Danta and the Soul Palace had a great war!"
"Due to the Three Thousand Flames of the Flame, the people from the Soul Palace will definitely not miss this opportunity to sneak in and snatch the Strange Fire during this alchemy meeting."
"The Alchemists who participate in the Alchemy Conference, no matter which faction they belong to, cannot be prohibited by Alchemy Tower for any reason, so the people from the Soul Palace will definitely participate."
"However, among the alchemists in the Soul Palace who can participate in the alchemy conference, there is only one old man named Mu Gu who is qualified. If he participates openly, we in the Dan Tower can let the elders of the Elders' Council participate to guard against him."
"But this old man Mu Gu will definitely hide his identity, so I can't just let the elders of Danta participate. This will give people the opportunity to say that I, the elder of Danta, am taking a place among them!"
"But if it's your ability in alchemy, I think it shouldn't be a problem to suppress old man Mu Gu. As long as he is not the champion of Danta, occupying a quota for strange fire will not be a big problem!" Xuan Kongzi said slowly.
Jia He understood what he meant. As a member of the Soul Palace, if Old Man Mu Gu became the champion of the Alchemy Competition, it would really be a slap in the face of Danta.
"I can agree to help, but there is one thing I hope Mr. Xuan can consider!" Jiahe said to Xuan Kongzi.
Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly and said, "You say!"
"I came from the northwest continent, where I established a force called the Imperial Prison. The hatred between me and the Soul Palace is deep, and a war is bound to break out in the future. I hope that Master Xuan can consider forming an alliance with me!" Jia He said, looking at Xuan Kongzi.
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi said with some embarrassment: "As for the alliance, I have no objection, but the Danta organization is not owned by me alone. To be honest, there is a small Danta inside the Danta, and that is where the elders of the Danta are."
"As the core of Danta, Xiao Danta is the one who truly holds the power of speech. If you want Danta to form an alliance with you, you must get Xiao Danta's consent!"
"But I can promise you, my friend. As long as you help me with this and really make the Soul Palace return empty-handed, I can help you vote for you in the Small Dan Tower. But whether it will succeed or not may depend on you!" Xuan Kongzi said.
Jia He smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled!"
Xuan Kongzi said: "Then I would like to thank you very much, my friend!"
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Yao Chen appeared again at the Sifang Pavilion Conference not long ago. It is said that he brought back a disciple named Xiao Yan, who also came from the Northwest Continent. I wonder if you have heard of him?" Xuan Kongzi asked.
Jia He said: "He is also from the Imperial Prison and is my good friend!"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. But are you also Yao Chen's disciple?" Xuan Kongzi asked curiously.
Jia He smiled and shook his head, saying, "I am not Yao Lao's disciple."
Xuan Kongzi then did not ask any more questions, and looked at Jia He and said, "You came from the Northwest Continent, so you must not have tested your alchemist level in the Dan Tower, right?"
"No, I don't think I need this!" said Gah.
Xuan Kongzi said: "That's true. If you can win the championship in the alchemy competition and refine an eighth-grade elixir that is higher than the seven-color elixir, how about I lead you into the small elixir tower?"
"Okay, let's go to Xiaodanta and play when we have time!" Jiahe said with a smile.
When Xuan Kongzi heard what Jia He said, he immediately shook his head and laughed: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come to Xiao Danta to play, and it's a good opportunity to give those old guys some shock!"
After saying that, Xuan Kongzi disappeared into the room.
Soon, Medusa and others came in, and Zi Yan asked curiously, "Is the old man gone?"
"Let's go. Everything is said and done. Why stay here?" said Gah.
Zi Yan asked: "What did I tell you?"
"He told me not to make pills for Zi Yan anymore!" Jia He said with a smile.
Zi Yan's eyes widened immediately, she pinched her waist with both hands, and said with a puffed mouth: "You dare!"
Zi Yan said angrily again: "Next time I see this old man, I will pull out his beard and let him talk nonsense!"
Jia He rolled his eyes at Zi Yan and said, "I'm just kidding. This is about the Alchemy Conference. Don't worry about it. After the Alchemy Conference is over, I will take you back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan." Zi Yan snorted, "Okay, then I'll go back and bring you some experts. If not, just let the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan join the Imperial Prison."
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Jiahe said, trying not to smile.
Then Jiahe looked at Medusa and the others and said, "There is basically nothing to do right now. You can go back first. I will wait here for the Cao family to come."
Everyone else nodded after hearing this, but Medusa stayed.
"Why don't you go back?" Jiahe asked curiously.
Medusa glanced at Jiahe with her beautiful eyes and said, "There's nothing to do when you go back. I'll stay here with you!"
Jiahe shook his head helplessly but did not drive her away.
After a while, people from the Cao family came to the inn, led by Cao Ying.
When Cao Ying saw Medusa beside Jia He, her originally proud head lowered slightly. In front of Medusa, she had no capital.
Medusa's eyes just swept over Cao Ying and the others, then she looked away.
Cao Ying said: "These are the apologies from the Ye family. In addition, this is the city's printed book. They are all yours!"
The storage ring on Jiahe's finger flashed, and all these things were collected.
"Thank you for the gift from the Cao family!" Jiahe stood up and said.
Cao Ying said, "You're welcome."
"In that case, let's go first!" said Gah.
Then Cao Ying watched Jiahe and Medusa slowly leave Caocheng, stomped her feet helplessly, and then turned back.
After Gah and Medusa left the inn, they looked towards Medusa.
Medusa said unnaturally: "Why are you looking at me?"
"I just wanted to see what your purpose was in staying just now?" Jiahe said with a faint smile.
Medusa's expression froze for a moment, and then she said, "What purpose could that be? I just want to stay a little longer!"
"Really? I thought you were afraid of what Cao Ying from the Cao family would do?" Jia He said.
Medusa looked at Gah and said, "I don't care about you!"
"Then I'll go talk to that little witch from the Cao family?" Jia He stopped.
Medusa was anxious and grabbed Gah's arm and said, "Don't go!"
Jiahe looked at Medusa with a smile in his eyes. Medusa snorted and said, "Come back with me!"
Medusa did not take her jade hand off Gah's arm, and walked out of Caocheng like this.
……
Dan Tower is the central area of Shengdan City.
A black tower nearly a hundred meters high stands here, majestic and magnificent. The giant tower penetrates deep into the clouds, making it look particularly mysterious.
At this time, on the top floor of Dan Tower, two figures were standing in the hall.
One of them had dark skin, looked serious, and had eyes like lightning. He was Tian Lei Zi, one of the three giants of Danta.
The other was a beautiful woman in cheongsam, with a calm look and a sense of the charm of time. She was also one of the three giants of Danta, Xuanyi.
These two people are the presidents of Danta together with Xuan Kongzi. They have the same strength and their alchemy skills are basically the same.
Xuan Yi looked at Tian Lei Zi and asked, "Is Xuan Kong Zi not back yet?"
Tian Leizi said: "The Dan meeting is coming soon, he should be back in advance, don't worry!"
"How can I feel at ease? This old guy travels outside every day. I think he learned it from the ancestor!" Xuanyi said angrily.
Tian Leizi said: "Don't dare to be disrespectful to the ancestor. He must have his reasons for doing this. Maybe traveling abroad will be good for improving my alchemy skills. I am also going to wait until the alchemy meeting is over and go out to take a look!"
"Don't you want Danta anymore? If you all go out, what if people from the Soul Palace come again?" Xuan Yi snorted coldly.
Tian Leizi sighed and said, "Ah, I'm afraid someone from the Soul Palace will come to this pill club secretly!"
Xuan Yi said: "I can ignore the matter of the alchemy meeting for now, but why did you tell me the news about Yao Chen?"
Tian Leizi said, "I just got the news not long ago. I don't know where this old guy came from. He accepted another disciple. He is now in Xingyun Pavilion. There should be nothing going on. Do you want to go to Xingyun Pavilion to see him?"
"I'm not going. Why should I go to see him? When he first came to Danta, he said he wanted freedom, wanted to make friends with alchemists all over the world, and liked to travel around. But what was the result? He was hunted down by the Soul Palace and lost half his life!" Xuan Yi said angrily.
Although she was angry, judging from Xuan Yi's tone, she still cared about Yao Chen very much.
"Haha, you just keep talking tough. I don't know who you are, but for all these years, you have been asking about Yao Chen's news outside. Now that you have heard about him, you can finally feel more at ease, right?" A faint voice came, and Xuan Kongzi's figure appeared in front of the two of them.
When Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi saw Xuan Kongzi, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're finally back!"
Xuan Kongzi said: "I just met a genius alchemist, so I was delayed for some time!"
"Genius alchemist? How talented must he be to be noticed by you?" Tian Lei Zi asked curiously.
Xuan Kongzi said, "At the age of seventeen or eighteen, an eighth-grade alchemist, is that scary?"
"What?" Xuanyi and Tianleizi suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Xuankongzi in horror.
Tian Leizi frowned and said, "Could he be a genius from the Medicine Clan? Or the incarnation of some old monster?"
Xuan Yi looked at Xuan Kongzi with his imagination opened and said, "Did you meet the ancestor? Doesn't the ancestor like to do things like this the most?"
"He said he was going to enlighten us with some incarnation, but the old man hasn't come back yet!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi glared at Xuan Yi and said, "What nonsense! If it was the ancestor, how could I not recognize him?"
Then Xuan Kongzi said, "That young man is from the Northwest Continent. Yao Chen and his disciples have just come to Zhongzhou from the Northwest Continent. You should all know about this, right?"
Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi both nodded.
Xuan Kongzi said, "I heard that Yao Chen only has his soul left. He needs to refine his body to recover. His disciple has a good talent for refining medicine. Maybe he will come to participate in the alchemy meeting. Then, Xuanyi, you can meet Yao Chen!"
Xuan Yi's face suddenly turned red, and he said stubbornly: "Who wants to meet him?"
"Okay, okay, then let's not meet. Anyway, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future, so it doesn't matter if it's just one or two days!" Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.
