NOVPUBAfter seven days of travel, Xu Zimei finally arrived at the place where Dragon City was located.
From a distance, the construction of this city was indeed vast and awe-inspiring.
Nine giant dragons soared straight up, and at the convergence of their heads, a sapphire blue orb emitted a dazzling light.
The city’s entire shape was just like this.
About the nine dragons and the sapphire blue orb, the masters of Dragon City had never explained their meaning.
Therefore, many people in later generations had secretly speculated about it.
The Nine Dragons playing with the pearl, or perhaps a battle of divine dragons.
Arriving at the base of Dragon City, golden bricks and purple tiles, along with the thick city walls carrying the heavy breath of ancient history, rushed to meet one’s face.
Every divine dragon on the perimeter of the city seemed lifelike, as if they truly existed.
Watching over every person who entered the city.
Even a faint dragon might suppressed them.
Xu Zimei walked into the city.
As a seafaring manager of vessels that navigated the Endless Heaven Sea, this was the closest city to both the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent.
One could imagine the prosperity of Dragon City.
Dense crowds of people walked along the city’s main thoroughfares.
Xu Zimei was not one to seek out excitement, but there were places in Dragon City that he needed to go.
The materials for Chaos’s advancement to the Immortal Realm had been prepared.
The crafting of the "Blood Devouring Immortality Pill" was urgent.
The method of making this pill had been lost, and even if you asked the True Martial Holy Sect’s three Pill Elders and Masters to concoct it,
They were not absolutely certain of success.
Moreover, there was only one set of ingredients, and Xu Zimei could not afford a second failure.
So he had to find someone who could craft the pill in one go.
......
Speaking of which, it’s impossible not to mention the founder of the Blood Devouring Immortality Pill.
Firstly, at the earliest stage of the Yuan Central Continent, there wasn’t the concept of pills.
Until later, a man known as Pill Elder appeared, who established the existence of the pill medicine system.
And he pioneered the indispensable and prestigious profession of an alchemist.
The existence of alchemists led humanity to the surprising discovery that transforming herbs into pills,
Not only preserved their complete medicinal properties but also allowed humans to absorb them better.
What was more important was that the combination of different herbs resulted in pills with varying effects when crafted.
This opened a door to a new world for humanity, which was still at the stage of exploration.
Since then, a craze for pill crafting swept the entire Yuan Central Continent.
All sorts of alchemists appeared out of nowhere.
Some for fame and fortune, others because they were truly passionate about creating through alchemy.
In the years that followed, countless alchemists added bricks to the vast system with the pills they created.
More and more legendary predecessors began to be remembered.
Among these, a man known as the Dustless Pill Master contemplated a question.
"Are pills really only for human consumption?"
He believed that pills were suitable for any race.
So, he took a different approach and began creating pills for the Monster Beasts to consume.
Thereafter, various pills related to Monster Beasts were crafted by his hand.
And what truly made him famous was probably this so-called Blood Devouring Immortality Pill.
A pill that could help Monster Beasts in their Stepping into Immortality, increasing their success rate.
At the time, it caused a stir not only among the human race but also induced an even stronger storm among the Monster Race.
To say it shook the entire Monster Race was no exaggeration.
......
The Dustless Pill Master wasn’t a particularly ancient figure.
His entire life was devoted to the effort of crafting pills.
The Blood Devouring Immortality Pill was also a divine pill that he created after nearly a thousand years.
Because pills appeared too recently, and there were not many who truly knew how to make them.
That was the most difficult problem Zimei Xu was facing now.
She entered the main street of Dragon City.
Zimei Xu first found an inn.
Due to the large number of people coming and going in Dragon City, Zimei Xu had to visit several inns before finally finding a room.
The whereabouts of the Dustless Pill Master had always been a mystery.
He devoted himself to pill making, even somewhat indifferent to worldly matters, not seeking fame or profit.
However, in her previous life, Zimei had heard news of the Dustless Pill Master appearing in Dragon City.
Afterward, many high-ranking members of the Monster Race came out one after another, seeking to visit and ask the Dustless Pill Master for pill making.
The largest pill workshop in Dragon City was the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
It was established by the Dominators of Dragon City, the Long Family.
It contained all kinds of rare items, including pills, divine weapons, and secret manuals.
And the prices were very reasonable.
This massive pavilion essentially occupied sixty percent of the business in the entire Dragon City.
Zimei Xu entered the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, which was adorned not with glittering gold, but rather with an elegantly simple style.
The first floor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was boundlessly vast, with various items displayed on the countertops, then divided into several areas.
Because there were so many people on the first floor.
No one came over to ask Zimei in particular.
She happily began to wander around the first floor at her leisure.
She hadn’t walked long before she noticed an argument at a counter ahead.
The commotion was quite loud, almost coming to blows.
Curious, Zimei Xu walked over to take a look.
She saw a young man in a blue robe and a green-clad page.
The young man looked at the page angrily, saying, "The Dragon Bone Herb was clearly something I spotted first.
Why should I let it go to you?"
"So what if you spotted it first? It’s not yours if you haven’t said you want to buy it. What now?" the page retorted with a cold snort.
"Isn’t this me asking about the price? You are going too far," the young man’s face flushed red, saying angrily.
"What’s going on?" Just then, the crowd was pushed aside, and a portly man covered in sweat arrived, followed by several Myriad Treasures Pavilion guards.
"Who dares to create trouble in my Myriad Treasures Pavilion?"
The portly man, wearing a blue robe, was sweating profusely after walking just a few steps.
He had a small goatee and his eyes looked like thin slits, very narrow.
Seeing the arrival of the portly man in the blue robe, the page hurriedly approached with an ingratiating smile.
He said with a laugh, "Steward Long, it’s me."
"What’s this quarreling about?" the portly man glanced at the two, asking indifferently.
He seemed to recognize the page, giving him a slight nod.
"I came to buy medicines on behalf of Myriad Pill Master, and I had my eye on this Dragon Bone Herb.
Then this brat suddenly appeared, wanting to snatch it from me," the page hurriedly replied.
Finally, he gave the young man a glance and a cold huff.
The young man, face turning even redder with anger, was about to retort, when the portly man in blue waved his hand.
He said to the page, "Alright, take the Dragon Bone Herb and let this matter rest.
Don’t cause trouble here!"
The page quickly nodded, smiling, "Of course, of course."
"This isn’t fair," the young man, his eyes slightly red, cried out unwillingly upon seeing the situation.
"Kid, I’m doing you a favor," Steward Long turned his head.
He looked at the young man with a detached gaze and asked, "Do you want to live, or do you want fairness?"
Hearing Steward Long’s words, the young man stood rooted to the spot.
