Chapter 29

In the Jia Ma Empire and places like Hei Jiao Yu, a Six-Star Alchemist already stood at the pinnacle of the local alchemy world.

Even someone like Han Feng was once highly revered.

However, upon arriving at Holy Pill City in Zhongzhou, it seemed like another world.

Here, Six-Star Alchemists were astonishingly numerous; walking down the street, seven or eight out of ten were Six-Star Alchemists.

Even Seventh-Rank Alchemists could occasionally be seen.

The entire Holy Pill City was divided into the Outer Region and the Inner Region.

The Outer Region was home to ordinary commoners, bustling and lively, full of the air of the mortal world.

Much like any ordinary city.

The Inner Region, however, was generally only open to members of forces associated with the Dan Tower, or high-level Alchemists.

For this reason, the quality of the people in the Inner Region compared to the Outer Region was simply incomparable.

Yun Yi and Yun Yun walked unhurriedly, and along the way Yun Yun curiously looked around at everything, her eyes full of novelty.

"Wow, there are so many things here I've never seen before!!"

"Don't worry, there are still many more things you haven't seen." Yun Yi smiled and rubbed Yun Yun's head.

"Later, I'll take you to see something even more novel."

"Hehe, okay!"

Just like that, after walking for an hour, they finally arrived at the Inner Region.

Looking into the distance, at the center of the Inner Region, a black tower nearly a hundred zhang tall stood towering.

That black tower was like a small mountain peak, exuding an ancient aura, giving a sense of towering majesty.

Afterwards, they came before a manor of extraordinary aura in the Inner Region. On the manor's plaque were carved two vigorous and powerful large characters.

Dan Family.

The Dan Family was the head of the Five Great Families of the Pill Tower, holding an extremely revered status in the alchemy world.

Yun Yi had come this time precisely to find an old friend of his from years past, Dan Yu.

Yun Yi stepped forward and politely said to the guard at the door, "Please inform Dan Yu that Yun Yi has come to see him..."

The guard looked Yun Yi up and down, saw that he was dressed ordinarily, and did not take him seriously, saying disdainfully, "Is our family head someone you can see just because you say so? Get to the side!"

Family head??

Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for so many years, Dan Yu had actually become the family head of the Dan Family.

However, Yun Yi frowned slightly at the guard's attitude, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, an extremely terrifying pressure slowly descended.

In an instant, the guard felt as if a great mountain was pressing on his chest, his breathing became difficult, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

"Senior... it was this junior's failure to recognize Mount Tai..."

His face was full of terror, knowing he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

Yun Yi was not here to cause trouble; he then withdrew the pressure and looked at the guard indifferently.

"Still not going?"

Now the guard dared not delay at all and hurriedly went inside obediently to deliver the message.

Not long after, the guard ran out with a respectful face, bowing and scraping as he said, "This senior, the family head invites you."

Yun Yi nodded calmly and entered the manor together with Yun Yun.

"Brother Yun!!"

As soon as Yun Yi entered the door, he saw Dan Yu come directly to welcome him.

"I thought I would never see you again!!!"

"Haha, haven't I come?"

Seeing Dan Yu, Yun Yi couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions.

The two embraced directly!

Back then, Dan Yu, while out on a tempering journey, encountered a powerful enemy's pursuit, was heavily injured, and his life hung by a thread.

Coincidentally, Yun Yi passed by, stepped in to help, and saved Dan Yu's life. From then on, the two became sworn brothers.

So Yun Yi did not waste words and directly took out the pill formula and medicinal ingredients for the Fire Bodhi Pill.

"Brother Dan, this time I have come to ask for your help with a matter."

"This is the pill formula and medicinal ingredients for the Fire Bodhi Pill; I hope Brother Dan can help refine it."

Dan Yu looked at the pill formula and medicinal ingredients, said nothing more, and patted his chest, saying, "Brother Yun, between you and me, why speak of asking or not asking?"

"Your life-saving grace from back then, I have always kept in my heart."

"I'll take care of this matter; I'll go refine it now."

After speaking, Dan Yu took the pill formula and medicinal ingredients and walked toward the alchemy room.

Yun Yi and Yun Yun, on the other hand, chose to exit through the small courtyard and stroll along the manor's small path.

Just as they reached a corner, a girl ran over in a hurry and bumped directly into Yun Yi.

Yun Yi instinctively reached out to support her, and just then, he suddenly felt his soul power uncontrollably surging into the girl's body.

Yun Yi was startled in his heart, but with a thought, he instantly stopped the loss of soul power.

"Soul Devouring Saint Body?"

Yun Yi said in surprise.

He instantly recalled that this person should be the Dan Family's genius girl.

Dan Chen.

Looking at this girl, she was not very old, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.

Her delicate figure was petite and well-proportioned, but her beautiful face was exceptionally pale, looking faintly sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

Dan Chen was very surprised.

She had not expected the other party to be able to stop her devouring of soul power so easily.

In the past, whenever she accidentally touched someone, the other person's soul power would be uncontrollably absorbed by her, impossible to stop.

"Big brother, I'm sorry!"

"I, I didn't mean to……"

Dan Chen hurriedly apologized, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes revealing a timid feeling.

She possessed the Soul Devouring Saint Body; having once accidentally hurt some people, she was always cautious in such situations, afraid of bringing harm to others again.

If members of the Soul Hall possessed this constitution, they would probably have long since been devouring souls on a large scale and become famous strongmen in Zhongzhou.

It was just that Dan Chen did not like doing so.

However, at this moment Dan Chen looked at Yun Yi and was also quite surprised.

The other party had actually been able to forcibly stop the loss of soul power just now, and could even identify her constitution.

She had never seen such a formidable person.

Thus, she couldn't help but ask, "This one, big brother…… who are you?"

"You actually know about my strange constitution!"

Yun Yi said with a smile, "I'm here to find Dan Yu."

Upon hearing this, Dan Chen immediately understood.

"So big brother is my father's friend!"

She looked carefully at Yun Yi again, and was even more surprised in her heart.

How could her father's friend be so young?

Thinking that she had been calling the other party big brother just now, she thought she should probably call him senior instead.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly cupped her hands toward Yun Yi, "Sorry sorry, senior, I was rude just now."

Yun Yi waved his hand, "No need to fuss over small details, it doesn't matter what you call me."

But Dan Chen shook her head seriously, "That won't do, I must."

"You are my father's friend, so I should call you Uncle Yun."

Saying this, she looked at Yun Yun again and likewise cupped her hands, "This one must be the auntie."

This made both Yun Yi and Yun Yun somewhat embarrassed.

They had been misunderstood by others more than once.

But Yun Yun smiled awkwardly on the surface, while inexplicably delighted in her heart.

She seemed to like being misunderstood like this.

Seeing this, Yun Yi had to explain again.

"Dan Chen, this is my disciple Yun Yun; we are not what you think."

Dan Chen suddenly understood and smiled embarrassedly.

"So that's how it is……"

Next, Yun Yi looked at Dan Chen and seriously discussed her special constitution with her, "Dan Chen, do you know? Your special constitution is not a defect; possessing it is also an ability that countless people on the continent envy."

"If used well, your future achievements will be limitless."

"I know……"

But Dan Chen shook her head slightly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, "But I feel this ability to plunder others' soul power is very vicious."

"Every time I hurt someone, I feel very sad in my heart."

Yun Yi looked at this kind little girl and smiled helplessly.

He knew she definitely could not be convinced in a short time.

However, if he himself possessed such a constitution, his soul would probably have already entered the Heaven Realm and beyond by now!
