Passing through the bustling streets, they arrived at a place where several streets intersect.
Before them was an extremely huge, magnificent, and spectacular building. A faint fragrance of pills lingered in the air. The words “Alchemist Alliance” danced like dragons and phoenixes above the lofty entrance, shimmering with a faint golden light under the blazing sun.
Passersby couldn’t help but pause for a moment, frequently casting reverent and envious glances at the building.
For any martial artist, relying on pills was inevitable for healing wounds, restoring True Origin, and breaking through realms.
Thus, alchemists who could refine pills were naturally held in high esteem by martial artists.
The Alchemist Alliance, acting as the headquarters for all alchemists in Ling Province, was so prestigious that even Golden Core Realm cultivators who were above the Rune Seed Realm would act modestly here.
After all, the alchemists inside the building possessed the power to summon more than a dozen Golden Core Realm experts to their aid.
Outside the magnificent entrance, esteemed alchemists came in and out, their conspicuous badges displayed on their chests, indicating their alchemist rank.
Here, there were esteemed alchemists strutting around and no lowly martial artists roaming. This was the gathering place for the most respected alchemists in Ling Province.
Here, this was also the largest spiritual pill production site within Ling Province.
Standing on the street far from the entrance, Lu Yun looked up at the grand headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance and silently vowed, “Fire seed, wait for me!”
“What’s so interesting about this place? Let’s hurry up and explore other places.” Di Ruoling, who was standing next to Lu Yun, urged him.
“You don’t understand. To know yourself and your enemy, you must observe them. I need to see if any powerful opponents could hinder my victory.” Saying that, Lu Yun began scanning his surroundings.
As the Alchemy Conference approached, the Alchemist Alliance became exceptionally lively.
The competition in the conference was open to all alchemists under the age of 25. In addition to the alchemists from various prefectures who had arrived, many alchemists within Ling Province who hadn’t joined the Alchemist Alliance had also come here.
“In that case, let’s go in and have a look. There’s no use standing around here.” Glancing at Lu Yun, Di Ruoling strode towards the grand hall of the Alchemist Alliance with a lively pace.
Her long hair, bound by a purple ribbon, hung down to her buttocks. With her every bouncing step, it swung and gently slapped her round, perky buttocks.
Seemingly noticing Lu Yun hadn’t followed, Di Ruoling turned her head, her bright eyes blinked, and she flashed a smile.
Lu Yun thought his peeping had been discovered, and he became flustered, quickly withdrawing his gaze. At the same time, a ripple of emotions rose in his heart.
“Why are you just standing there? Aren’t you coming?”
Looking at that beautiful, charming face, Lu Yun silently recited the Ice Heart Spell and immediately caught up with her.
Upon stepping through the grand entrance of the Alchemist Alliance, a rich fragrance of pills wafted into their nostrils, making them unable to resist taking a deep breath, which instantly lifted their spirits.
The Alchemist Alliance was incredibly vast, and upon entering the entrance, they saw roads leading to three separate areas.
Standing at the entrance, Lu Yun observed the layout and scenery of the surrounding areas.
To the east was a chaotic and complex area, resembling a market from his past life, with various platforms set up, behind which sat alchemists wearing badges.
Above the platforms were an assortment of spirit herbs and various jade bottles containing pills, and even some ancient scrolls.
Just by looking at the scene, Lu Yun knew it was a simple trading area.
To the west was an equally bustling area, with many alchemists currently gathered there, exchanging and sharing experiences with one another.
Some were even refining pills on the spot under the guidance of alchemists who seemed to have quite high ranks, diligently refining pills.
Seeing these two areas alone, Lu Yun knew this place was a deserved gathering place for all alchemists in Ling Province. Besides being a place to exchange experiences, there was an area for trade to obtain what they needed; its functionality far surpassed the Spirit Martial Prefecture branch.
Directly ahead of the entrance to the north was a large hall.
Compared to the eastern and western areas, this hall appeared to be more tranquil and solemn.
At a glance, many guards could be seen standing on both sides of the road leading to the large hall.
Each of them had formidable auras, and they were at least martial artists in the late stage of the True Qi Realm.
Lu Yun couldn’t help but squint his eyes. Martial artists in the late stage of the True Qi Realm would, at the very least, hold the rank of Captain in a regular army.
In the headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance, these accomplished warriors were merely gatekeepers, which seemed quite extravagant.
“Aren’t you going to know your enemy? Over there, many alchemists are exchanging information; we could check it out!” Di Ruoling pointed to the western area and spoke to Lu Yun.
Lu Yun shook his head slightly, looking towards the trading area in the east, and said with a smile, “No, I’ve found a more interesting place.”
Strolling leisurely to the trading area, Lu Yun moved amongst the platforms, his gaze curiously observing the rare and exotic spirit herbs and other precious items placed on the platforms.
The wide variety of items left Lu Yun feeling a bit overwhelmed for a moment, even secretly entertaining thoughts of robbery in his heart.
If he could refine all the precious spirit herbs and pills here, his energy level would likely skyrocket to an unimaginable extent.
Of course, this was merely a thought in his heart..
