The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1447 - Chapter 1447 Chapter 1545 Demanding 10000 Pills

Chapter 1447: Chapter 1545: Demanding 10,000 Pills! Chapter 1447: Chapter 1545: Demanding 10,000 Pills! The arrival of the Long Family lent an even more delicate atmosphere to the grand Pill Assembly.

The Flying Boat came directly, landing less than ten miles away from the Pill Appreciation Tower, a fact which caused quite a few of the Pill Alliance’s attendees to look somewhat displeased.

Those who were here to attend the Pill Assembly, even figures like the Three Emperors, their Flying Boats would all alight and dock beyond fifteen miles, not approaching the Pill Appreciation Tower too closely, as a sign of respect to the Pill Alliance.

But the Long Family, well, their Flying Boat docked closer than any other force’s vessel. What was the meaning of this? Were they deliberately trying to cow the Pill Alliance?

Dragon Haotian, leading the Long Family members, walked slowly forward. Although their numbers were not large, only over twenty people, just Dragon Haotian alone was enough to dominate the scene.

What a joke, a character who could be mentioned in the same breath as the Four Great Heaven Kings, the contemporary Family Head of the Long Family, was now even the person leading many Alchemy Tao noble families. Perhaps the entire land of the Nine Countries would undergo earth-shaking changes in his hands.

No matter who it was, they must maintain sufficient awe when faced with Dragon Haotian.

“Hehe, you all have arrived quite early,” Dragon Haotian said with his group from the Long Family upon approaching. He scanned his eyes across the faces of the crowd and spoke in a lukewarm tone.

“Long time no see, Brother Long. We’ve only just arrived ourselves,” the Tang Emperor greeted with cupped fists, his face filled with smiles.

The Qin Emperor and Yuan Emperor also cupped their fists toward Dragon Haotian, exchanging pleasantries for a few moments.

The Western Moon King watched the Three Emperors and Dragon Haotian’s pleasantries. Although there was no expression on his face, he felt somewhat uncomfortable deep down.

The way the Three Emperors treated Dragon Haotian was obviously more enthusiastic than the way they treated him. Even if it was merely a courtesy exchange, it still revealed a lot.

The Western Moon King, along with several high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance, was also about to approach and speak when Dragon Haotian didn’t even look at the Western Moon King. He straight up passed by him and went to greet several other influential figures.

This act caused the Western Moon King’s expression to sour considerably.

The Three Emperors watched all of this but said nothing. As for what they were thinking, only they themselves knew.

“Dragon Haotian, you still have the face to come here to attend the grand Pill Assembly?” Just then, an elder emerged from nowhere, dressed in a Pill Refiner’s robe, angrily pointing at Dragon Haotian and shouting.

Silence instantly fell around them, and pairs of eyes all watched Dragon Haotian and the speaking elder.

The elder seemed very old, with a scent of Pill Flame and medicinal materials on him, clearly an elderly Pill Refiner who had immersed himself in the Alchemy Tao for many years.

“How presumptuous!” The members of the Long Family immediately became enraged, collectively scolding the speaking elder.

With a cold laugh, the elder glared at Dragon Haotian with murky eyes and shouted loudly, “As a person of the Pill Alliance, you betrayed the Pill Alliance. You have no right to attend the grand Pill Assembly of the Pill Alliance!”

Dragon Haotian’s expression was indifferent, he merely glanced briefly at the speaking elder with a slight smirk, “And what are you?”

The elder was furious, “I am just a Pill Refiner of the Pill Alliance, having dedicated my entire life to the Pill Alliance. I despise you the most, a shameless wretch who betrayed the Pill Alliance at a critical moment!”

Those words were somewhat harsh, and to directly insult and accuse the Family Head of the Long Family in front of so many people was to have the courage of a bear and the recklessness of a leopard.

The Long Family members were infuriated, ready to strike and kill the elder on the spot, while the Western Moon King had a faint smile on his lips, as if a scene like this was within his expectations.

“Oh,” Dragon Haotian responded very perfunctorily before immediately turning his head away, clearly not intending to pay much attention to the elder.

As the elder wanted to hurl more insults and continue provoking Long Jiankong, he didn’t expect that a middle-aged man from behind Dragon Haotian would suddenly slap him across the face, sending the elder tumbling to the ground.

The slap was extremely solid, and given that the person who struck had great strength and the elder was old and frail, he could not bear it.

The old fellow spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, teeth clattering to the ground in who knows how many pieces, feeling the world spinning around him, with a buzzing in his head.

“How dare you harm someone here? The Long Family is too overbearing!”

“How could you do this? It’s too much!”

“Grandmaster Ma, after all, is a Grandmaster of our Pill Alliance, can the Long Family just strike him at will?”

****

This slap immediately angered several people from the Pill Alliance around, who denounced it in turn, implicitly placing the Long Family under intense scrutiny.

The middle-aged man from the Long Family who had struck the blow did not care about the accusations around him at all. His cold eyes swept over the Pill Alliance’s people, and his sharp gaze made those who were clamoring lose some of their confidence.

“It seems this man is Long Kaiyun, the eldest son of Dragon Haotian.”

Someone recognized the identity of the middle-aged man and said his name.

And upon hearing the name Long Kaiyun, many nearby took a sharp breath, their expressions changing.

Dragon Haotian had three sons, among whom the eldest son, Long Kaiyun, was the most famous.

Because Long Kaiyun was a martial arts prodigy, he had made a name for himself many years ago, and he was extremely ruthless against his enemies, leaving them either dead or crippled.

However, afterward, the three sons of the Long family disappeared for a long time, their whereabouts unknown, with some saying they had perished.

But only the internal members of the Long family knew that the three sons of Dragon Haotian had indeed come across extraordinary opportunities and had chosen to enter closed-door cultivation to digest them. Now, all three sons had emerged, battling for the Long Family.

Dragon Haotian bringing his seldom-seen eldest son, Long Kaiyun, might also have an element of a show of force in it.

“Western Moon, we have been invited here, and is this the sort of welcome the Pill Alliance extends to us?” At this moment, Dragon Haotian turned to look at the Western Moon King, speaking in an even tone.

The Western Moon King glanced at the elder still dazed on the ground, then said, “It is my lack of strict discipline, Long brother, please don’t take offense.”

With that, he waved his hand, and someone directly took the elder away.

A minor commotion thus hastily concluded, but to the discerning, this was a flexing of muscles between the Pill Alliance and the Long Family.

After the arrival of the Long Family, various powers arrived one after the other; nearly everyone expected had shown up.

The Western Moon King stood in front of the Pill Appreciation Tower and addressed everyone, “Ladies and gentlemen, the time is nearly upon us.”

No sooner had his voice faded than radiant lights burst forth from within the Pill Appreciation Tower, with waves of rich fragrances of pills wafting out.

Many of those present brightened up at the prospect, eager to enter the Pill Appreciation Tower to appraise the ten thousand types of pills the Pill Alliance had put forth, hoping to exchange for any they might need.

Of course, for high-status figures like the Three Emperors and Dragon Haotian, this so-called Great Pill Meet had little appeal.

Just as the crowd was about to enter the Pill Appreciation Tower, suddenly, three figures appeared in the sky above.

“By the orders of the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master, we have come to demand ten thousand pills from Western Moon King!”
