Xiao Tian's gaze swept over the Pill Hall, noticing that its door had already been opened. Inside, many figures were searching around, and battles were happening everywhere. The pills on the first floor weren't of high quality, so Xiao Tian wasn't interested.
"Let's go upstairs," he told his companions.
Upon reaching the second floor, Xiao Yi Xian's face changed. "The air here is poisonous," she said, waving her hand to produce some jade bottles. "These are antidotes. Take them."
After everyone took the antidote, they proceeded further inside. Not far in, they saw several human and beast bodies lying on the ground. On this floor, they found many sixth-tier pills and a few seventh-tier pills.
Soon, they reached the third floor. This level was expansive, filled with pill rooms of various sizes, far more ornate and grand than the lower floors. The poisonous gas here was even more terrifying, capable of corroding Dou Qi. They found many ancient pill recipes and several seventh-tier pills.
"Creak..."
As they opened an unremarkable pill room, a white shadow suddenly darted out. It was a small beast covered in white fur. It resembled a cat but was unusually plump, looking very cute and chubby. Strangely, there was no Dou Qi fluctuation within it, making it seem like an ordinary wild animal.
However, Xiao Tian, having read the original story, knew this was actually a transformed pill beast. His eyes lit up with interest as he flipped his right hand, producing a sixth-tier pill.
"Shoo!"
With a flick of his finger, the pill rolled to the small beast's side. The beast sniffed it, showing excitement in its bright eyes before rolling its tongue and swallowing the pill. After eating, it stared intently at Xiao Tian, wanting more.
Xiao Tian produced another sixth-tier pill and tossed it to the beast.
"What are you doing?" his companions asked, puzzled.
"This little beast is a transformed pill. It's at least an eighth-tier pill that has survived eight-colored pill thunder," Xiao Tian explained.
The group was astonished. An eighth-tier pill that had survived eight-colored pill thunder was highly coveted, even by powerful old monsters.
After feeding the beast over a dozen sixth-tier pills, it finally let its guard down. However, to make it follow him, more high-quality pills were needed. Xiao Tian, under the painful gaze of his companions, fed it several seventh-tier pills until it was satisfied.
He smiled and took out an eighth-tier pill he had refined earlier. The moment he opened the bottle, the little beast's eyes sparkled, and it pounced toward the pill.
"Shoo!"
Xiao Tian swiftly put the bottle away and caught the beast in his arms. Xiao Yi Xian, her eyes fixed on the cute creature, asked, "Xiao Tian, it's so adorable. Can I hold it?"
"Sure," he replied, handing the beast to her. At this moment, Qing Lin also approached. Even as cultivators, they couldn't resist the charm of the fluffy little creature.
"Where we're going next might be dangerous. You three should return to the space gate," Xiao Tian advised.
"Alright," the three women agreed, understanding the situation.
After sending Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan into the space gate, Xiao Tian and Little Marten headed toward the main hall. The entire hall was copper-colored, aged, and exuding an ancient aura.
Inside the grand hall, ten massive light clusters floated, each containing scrolls. Clearly, these were the collected techniques of an ancient Dou Saint. In the center of these clusters was a stone throne with a jade-white skeleton seated on it. Despite being just bones, it still emitted a mountain-like oppressive aura.
The hall was crowded with people and beasts, mostly magical beasts and a few humans. No one dared to move recklessly because around the stone throne sat a dozen figures, all grey and stone-like, radiating Dou Zun-level power.
"Jiejiejie, it seems we are not late after all…" A sinister laugh echoed, and a dense black mist flew in, transforming into several figures.
"People from the Soul Hall!" someone exclaimed, recognizing the unique entrance.
Xiao Tian glanced at the Soul Hall members, thinking, "They must have set up spatial tunnels in the Beast Domain to arrive so quickly."
The elder leading the Soul Hall group laughed evilly, "Jie jie, so many strong souls to collect here. The harvest will be great!"
His words provoked disgust from both humans and beasts alike.
"Shoo shoo shoo!"
More figures arrived, exuding a chilling aura.
The Soul Hall elder sneered, "Seven Dou Zun from the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. It seems you're treating this seriously."
A slit-eyed elder from the clan coldly replied, "This is our territory. We have every right to be here."
Suddenly, a younger member whispered to the elder, who then looked sharply at Xiao Tian. "You're the one who captured our clan's elder?"
"He attacked me first. Killing him was justified," Xiao Tian replied calmly.
"Arrogant brat, you'll pay for this!" the elder commanded his subordinates, "Kill them!"
Boom!
Seven powerful auras intertwined like dragons, pressing down on Xiao Tian and Little Marten. "You think mere Five-Star Dou Zun can kill me?" Xiao Tian sneered, combining his Dou Qi, soul power, spatial energy, physical strength, and flame power into a unique force that expanded outward, suppressing the seven Dou Zun.
"Who is this guy?"
"He's so strong, fighting seven Dou Zun alone without faltering!"
"When did such a powerful youth appear?"
"His power is so strange, different from our Dou Qi!"
Everyone, even the Soul Hall's Dou Zun, was shocked and wary of Xiao Tian's strength.
