Chapter 382: Insights into Alchemy
The war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had not yet reached Pill Hall's Alchemists, but they were slightly busier than before.
The conflict had not escalated to the point where Alchemists needed to take the battlefield. However, if it did reach that stage, Qingxu Sect's demise seemed imminent.
Initially, he could have hidden within the confines of Pill Hall. However, his true strength was exposed, making the Sect aware that he possessed combat abilities alongside his Alchemy skills.
Moreover, even if he could hide, he had numerous subordinates who couldn't evade the conflict. If he didn't step forward to lead, they might even be used as cannon fodder.
"Senior Brother Xu, how have you been lately?" Wang Hong spotted Xu Zhiguang from a distance, with his white beard and hair.
Wang Hong admired Xu Zhiguang's dedication to Pill Recipe. Xu Zhiguang had forsaken everything else in pursuit of perfecting his Alchemy skills, including his own combat prowess.
Though Wang Hong admired him, he had no intention of following suit. Some things were better kept under one's control, like combat abilities.
"It's Junior Brother Wang! It's been a while, Junior Brother Wang. I was just thinking about looking for you to exchange Alchemy experiences," Xu Zhiguang said upon seeing Wang Hong. His conversations always revolved around Alchemy, seemingly unaffected by the battles happening in the Cultivation World. Alchemy was his sole focus.
As they were conversing, Yuan Yong, an attendant from Pill Hall, approached Wang Hong.
"Junior Brother Wang, Master Mei requests your presence."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan." Wang Hong expressed his gratitude and headed towards where Master Mei was located in the building.
"Disciple Wang Hong pays respects to Master Mei," Wang Hong greeted as he entered the room.
"No need for formalities, please have a seat." Master Mei seemed to have a great fondness for the art of tea. Every time Wang Hong visited, he would find her brewing tea. Unfortunately, her favorite Qiu Long Tea, of which only one plant remained, had been taken by Wang Hong.
Master Mei had an easygoing temperament and disliked unnecessary formalities. After her instruction, Wang Hong obediently took a seat at the Tea Table.
"I heard you were stationed at the first defense line recently?" Master Mei personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Hong.
As Wang Hong exited Pill Hall, he was loaded with a pile of Alchemy tasks. Even for other cultivators working tirelessly, it would take several months to refine the Pills.
Meanwhile, at a flat terrain behind the Demon Clan's camp, beyond the second defense line, various peculiar Demonic Beasts had gathered. Some were large, some small, some stood upright, others lay on the ground, some coiled around massive rocks, and a few even hung upside down from trees.
Despite their differences in appearance and habits, they all shared one common trait: they radiated immensely powerful auras.
Surprisingly, every single one of these Demonic Beasts was of the third-tier, numbering at least a couple hundred.
In contrast, even if all the surrounding cultivators of Qingxu Sect were assembled, the number of Golden Core cultivators on their side was only around a hundred.
At this moment, a grey giant eagle perched on a rock took the lead in speaking with a human voice.
"Hu Meier, our East Sea Clan has all arrived. Have all of your West Zhou Demon Realm members gathered? It seems like you haven't dispatched many Demonic Beasts for battle. Shouldn't we unite at this critical time and stop hiding things?"
Surprisingly, this Demonic Beast was speaking in the Human Clan language. Each Demon Clan had its own unique animal language, but this complicated communication between different clans.
However, none of the races wanted to use another race's language, as it would be seen as a great humiliation. Eventually, they resorted to using the Human Clan language when they needed to communicate across racial boundaries.
Hu Meier, the Demonic Beast in question, was a white fox with three tails.
Upon hearing the grey eagle's inquiry, a wave of sadness welled up inside her.
Not long ago, a Flying Boat organized by the Human Clan had invaded the West Zhou Demon Realm, causing heavy casualties to their Western Demon Tribe, with one-third of their numbers lost. This included her Fox Clan, which had also suffered severe losses, leading to the disappearance of several subgroups.
Hu Meier glanced at the surrounding Demonic Beasts and replied, "We have all gathered."
