After leaving the teleportation channel, Lan Hua felt as if she were in an illusion.
The land before her was bathed in rosy light, surrounded by a misty aura, with even a sky bridge floating in the sky. From time to time, the fragrance of elixirs wafted over, making Lan Hua's nose tingle with excitement.
"As expected of the core area of the Heavenly Domain, it's practically a paradise within a paradise! It's far superior to the Tantai family in the Xuan Tie Realm. The Pill God Palace is truly generous!"
"The Pill God Palace, here I come!"
Lan Hua walked quickly toward the distant mountains. Since there were no enemies pursuing her, she gave up flying, which was a sign of respect for the oldest power in the Heavenly Domain.
The Dan God Temple is located in the Danluo Mountains, which stretch for tens of thousands of kilometers, and the entire area within the mountains is within the Dan God Temple's sphere of influence.
Halfway there, they were getting close to the Danluo Mountains when a figure came rushing by and whooshed over Lan Hua's head.
"Damn, it's flying so fast, how much of a hurry is it?!"
Lan Hua grumbled, and the person quickly became a small black dot.
Suddenly, a fire dragon appeared in the sky. The fire dragon was enormous, and its scorching flames almost turned half the sky red.
A faint scream came from above. Lan Hua looked closely and saw that the small black dot had fallen from the sky and had turned into a small red dot.
"Damn, this is so brutal! There's actually a protective formation around the Pill God Temple?"
Lan Hua was somewhat surprised, thinking to herself that the Pill God Palace was indeed a powerful force. The protective formation it set up was so effective that no matter who entered the Pill God Realm's airspace, they would be whipped by the fire dragon.
Arriving at the spot where the man had landed, in the large crater created by the impact, lay a person, his body charred black, his hair burned away, groaning in agony.
"Why is this immortal lord in such a sorry state?" Lan Hua asked with a smile.
The person in the pit said with a bitter face, "To be honest, Immortal Lord, I have only been in the Heavenly Realm for a short time."
Hearing of the Pill God Palace in the Heavenly Realm, a place of unparalleled excellence in alchemy, I was eager to join, but I never expected that my attempt to fly using my inner energy would incur the wrath of the Pill God Palace!
Lan Hua said "Oh," and asked curiously, "Then may I ask, Immortal Lord, from which part of the lower realm did you ascend?"
"Danyang Boundary!"
Lan Hua had never heard of this place before, so she said, "Judging from this name, could it be a lower realm that mainly cultivates alchemy?"
"Indeed, although the cultivators in the Danyang Realm have diverse cultivation methods, many of them are alchemists who all revere the Eternal Emperor, the Pill Heaven Emperor. That's why I came here after entering the Heavenly Domain!"
Lan Hua nodded slightly and released a gentle force to help the person leave the pit.
"Your injuries are severe, and there is still a fire poison in your body. You'd better treat your injuries as soon as possible, otherwise it will get worse!"
"Don't think you're some kind of celestial being and that these injuries are nothing. The fire that injured you just now was no ordinary fire!"
Lan Hua moved her right palm slightly, using the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique. A stream of pure Yin power flowed into the man's body, helping him suppress the fire poison.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal Lord!"
You're too kind!
After a conversation, Lan Hua learned that this person's name was Zuo Yan. Because he had taken a youth-preserving pill, he looked only in his twenties, but was actually almost a hundred years old.
However, to be able to enter the Heavenly Realm at the age of one hundred is already quite an achievement.
"Immortal Lord Zuo, please rest. I'm going to the Pill God Hall now. See you there!"
"Alright!"
Three hours later, Lan Hua finally arrived at the foot of the Danluo Mountains, where a valley entrance was directly in front of him.
At the entrance of the valley stands a huge archway with the three golden characters "Danshen Temple" written on it.
"Who are you, and why have you entered the Pill God Palace?"
A sound came from inside the valley, followed by a wave of heat that forced Lan Hua back three steps.
"What a scorching heatwave! The hospitality of the Pill God Palace is truly unique!" Lan Hua thought to herself.
"My name is Lan Hua, and I have come to pay my respects to the Pill God Palace!" Lan Hua said, bowing deeply despite the surging heat.
"Hmm? You're Lan Hua?"
The scorching heat suddenly flowed back into the valley, and then a person strolled out. He was an elderly man with gray hair, except for two strands of black hair at his temples, which made him look quite stylish.
Seeing that the person who came out of the valley was highly skilled, Lan Hua dared not be presumptuous and quickly said, "It is indeed me. Does this immortal lord recognize me?"
The old man snorted, "Don't call me Immortal Lord. I am Huo Feiyan. Everyone in the hall calls me Elder Huo. I'm just a lowly guard from the Pill God Hall!"
"I don't know you personally, but the Pill God Palace is aware of your name!"
Lan Hua's heart skipped a beat; she didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Back then, when you ascended to the Heavenly Realm, you attracted the strongest Heavenly Tribulation, which led to the Owl Sect's attempt to kill you. Then, Miss Tantai Ziyue of the Tantai Family came to your rescue. All the major powers know about this!"
Lan Hua gave an awkward smile, "So that's how it is. I've really embarrassed Elder Huo!"
Huo Laodao said, "Boy, you must have a reason for visiting the Pill God Palace, right?"
Lan Hua carefully reviewed the reasons in her mind: a disciple of the Pill God Palace in the lower realm? No, was he an outcast of the Pill God Palace, or was he simply there to learn alchemy techniques from the upper realm?
"I'm an alchemist in the lower realm, and I want to learn the alchemy techniques of the Heavenly Realm!" Lan Hua changed her reason.
Huo Lao let out an "oh," and said, "I didn't expect that girl Tantai Ziyue would take a fancy to a pretty boy who is an alchemist?"
Lan Hua was embarrassed again. How did she end up being a gigolo again?
"This kid has indeed studied alchemy, really, he knows quite a few of those pill formulas!"
Just as Lan Hua was about to reveal the pill formulas, Zuo Yan rushed over.
Zuo Yan truly lived up to his reputation as a celestial being who lived to be a hundred years old. Although he was burned once, he still changed into clean clothes on the way and tidied himself up thoroughly.
"I am Zuo Yan, an alchemist from the Danyang Realm. I have come to pay my respects to the Dan Shen Palace and request to join them!"
Huo Lao glanced at Zuo Yan and snorted, "The Pill God Palace is a vital place in the Heavenly Domain. How dare you, a newly ascended Celestial Being, casually fly around using your Qi? You'd better remember this next time!"
Huoyan quickly lowered his head in agreement, his already bent back almost burying his head in it.
"Alright, since you two are both alchemists, then come in with me!" Elder Huo shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Yan glanced at Lan Hua and asked in surprise, "I didn't expect Immortal Lord Lan to be an alchemist as well?"
Lan Hua gave an awkward smile, "Yes!"
Upon entering the Dan Shen Palace, a rich fragrance wafted over, making Lan Hua feel refreshed and invigorated.
Inside the Dan Shen Palace, there were alchemy furnaces everywhere, and even the lamps by the roadside were shaped like alchemy furnaces.
Old Huo quickly led the two to a row of houses, pointed to two of them, and said:
"You may stay here for now. There will be an assessment in three days. If you pass the assessment, you can stay and become a member of my Pill God Palace!"
Zuo Yan frowned and asked, "Could you reveal the content of the assessment so I can review?"
"It's very simple. I'll give you a recipe that day, and you just need to follow it to refine the pills!"
Zuo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just alchemy, which was his forte.
Lan Hua was somewhat speechless. "If you're going to refine pills, then refine pills. Why wait until three days later?"
