Chapter 1338

At the top of a high mountain, where the clouds gently blew by, there was a glorious palace building . This was the true Divine Pill Hall .

The Divine Pill Hall was a special place for disciples to practice alchemy . Behind the large palace building was an ancient pavilion . This was the Divine Pill Pavilion, being well-known as one of the most important places in Pill Valley . It was packed with various alchemy secret arts and scriptures .

Long Chen was currently holding a bone book . He was enthusiastically reading it, as it was secret art named the Explosive Blaze Art .

This kind of secret art condensed flame energy into fighting skills . It possessed great power .

Long Chen had been immediately attracted to it . The art described within it contained profound principles for the transformations of flames, which made it very difficult to understand . But its power was definitely terrifying .

If he used Star Fall in combination with it, Star Fall’s destructive power would greatly increase . How could Long Chen let this chance slip by?

This was already his third day since joining the Divine Pill Hall . By the time Zhang Yutao had led Long Chen up the mountain, he had already explained the general situation . He also said that this was one of Zhuo Tianxiang’s tests for him .

In truth, from the moment Long Chen had walked through the gates, to when he fought with the opposing side, to now, Zhang Yutao and the others had always been watching .

Zhuo Tianxiang had told Zhang Yutao that if Long Chen continued being such a coward, he could simply continue being bullied . He would only be pulled into their faction once he had finally had enough and attacked back .

Furthermore, Zhang Yutao told Long Chen to maintain this kind of mood . Right now, the struggle between the two factions didn’t leave room for face .

Currently, the Divine Pill Hall had the Divine Spear Alliance and the Divine s.h.i.+eld Alliance . They represented the radical faction and the conservative faction respectively .

If others heard this name, they might think the conservative faction was very modest and low-key, but the truth was that in order to make sure its power remained stable, the Divine s.h.i.+eld Alliance’s disciples were all very arrogant .

That was because only by being arrogant and showing their power could they intimidate more people and win more authority .

In comparison, it was the Divine Spear Alliance that was weaker . Under the suppression of the Divine s.h.i.+eld Alliance, they found it very taxing to continue fighting . Their influence over the Divine Pill Hall’s disciples as a whole was dropping .

That was why the Divine Spear Alliance not only needed people with great alchemy arts but also someone who could draw enough influence . That was why if Long Chen continued being a coward, he wouldn’t be very useful to the Divine Spear Alliance . They needed a disciple that dared to fight .

Of course, the prerequisite was that this disciple’s alchemy skills could keep up . That was why after telling Long Chen a few things, Zhang Yutao had sent Long Chen to the Divine Pill Pavilion to study .

Long Chen wasn’t interested in the alchemy arts here . Rather it was the magical arts and Battle Skills here that he needed .

To ordinary disciples, his actions were the complete opposite of what they should be doing . The Divine Pill Hall’s disciples were alchemists who cared about alchemy . To train in fighting techniques was not proper .

But Long Chen was too lazy to bother with the strange looks people gave him . He needed to find a way to increase his repertoire of flame magical arts, because his Pill Sovereign memories only had knowledge of alchemy, but nothing of flame fighting techniques .

“Long San, let’s go . I’ll bring you to switch out your Earth Flame . Everything’s been arranged, and someone’s already holding the line for us . ”

Zhang Yutao came and interrupted Long Chen’s studying . That was because Long Chen had said that he needed a better Earth Flame .

One of the main reasons that he only managed to refine three rings in the trial previously was because of his Pill Flame .

He was unable to use Huo Long’s power here, and the Earth Flame he had been given wasn’t strong enough . That was why he had asked Zhang Yutao for a stronger Earth Flame .

Now that he was helping out the Divine Spear Alliance, if he didn’t dredge up some benefits for himself, he wouldn’t be Long Chen . Furthermore, the Divine Spear Alliance had its own backing, so this was an easy task for them .

But obtaining a new Earth Flame required acc.u.mulating a certain number of merit points in Pill Valley . Normally, these merit points were obtained by refining high tier medicinal pills .

But Long Chen didn’t need to bother with this . Someone else would cough up the money for him . With someone already in line for him, he could go and directly pick out an Earth Flame .

“Long San, Protector Zhuo has said that you can select an Earth Flame below rank 30 . If you want a higher level Earth Flame, it will depend on your future display,” whispered Zhang Yutao . There was envy in his eyes .

To be able to pick out any Earth Flame ranked below 30 was an immense special treatment . Even Zhang Yutao’s Earth Flame was only ranked 37th .

That was the result of him working hard all these years . As for Long Chen, he had only just arrived and he could get a better one .

“Long Chen, you should pick the Berserk Blood Flame ranked 32nd . I heard your Spiritual Strength is powerful . If you can suppress the Berserk Blood Flame’s berserk nature, its power will probably be even greater than the Heart Incinerating Devil Flame ranked 31st,” advised Zhang Yutao .

That truly was the best option . If the Berserk Blood Flame wasn’t so violent, it would probably be ranked 30th .
