His voice paused, then he said: “There are ninety nine cultivators guarding Pill King Valley.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyes flickered slightly. She looked at him and asked: “I assume the ranks of the alchemists here aren’t low? The reason the Pill King can be called the Pill King is because he has reached the highest level of alchemy, the Venerable Alchemist?”

“Hehe, I see that you have some knowledge. Yes, the Pill King is already at the level of Venerable Alchemist. The elixirs that he refined are unparalleled in the world. One pill is enough for us to increase our strength, one pill can give people unlimited lifespan. It is your blessing if you are able to follow the Pill King. If you catch the fancy of the Pill King and become his woman serving by his side, naturally, the Pill King won’t treat you badly.”

Feng Jiu smiled when she heard this and said: “I haven’t met an Alchemist at the Venerable level yet, so I really have to take this opportunity to meet him.”

So, she chatted with the middle-aged man along the way. Perhaps the middle-aged man felt that she was unable to leave here, that was why he didn’t hold back on information. Whatever she had asked him, he replied. He told her many things.

When she passed by a cave dwelling, she smelt a strong scent of medicine. She couldn’t help but stop and looked at the cave dwelling and asked: “Is there an alchemist refining pills?”

“That’s right. Every alchemist in Pill King Valley is excellent.” His expression was full of complacency and pride: “Most of the pills they refine are for us to take to improve our strength. The status of an Alchemist here is very high.”

Feng Jiu nodded, then asked again: “Which Alchemist made the world-forgetting water? Will you forget everything after you drink the world-forgetting water?”

“The world-forgetting water is refined by the Pill King, and only the Pill King is able to refine the world-forgetting water.”

“So it seems that the Pill King is very powerful.” Feng Jiu said.

“Of course, he is the PIll King!” The middle-aged man said. He looked at Feng Jiu and asked: “Do you know anything about alchemy?”

Feng Jiu shook her head and replied seriously: “I don’t know anything.”

“You don’t look like you do either. The art of alchemy is so very profound, how can you, a mere little girl, understand?” The middle-aged man looked at Feng Jiu knowingly, then he led her all the way to the front and said: “We are about to arrive at the Pill King’s cave dwelling. Wait here first!”

As he spoke, he brought Feng Jiu to the side of the mountain path, under a tree to sit down by the table and chair.

Feng Jiu went over and sat down. She looked around, then said: “Everyone here lives in a cave dwelling? Is there a cave dwelling for each person?”

“That’s right. It’s convenient for each person to live in one cave dwelling.” The middle-aged man nodded and replied. He felt that Feng Jiu seemed honest all the way here, and so he instructed someone to bring tea.

“Drink a cup of tea! The spirit tea is grown in Pill King Valley, it’s something money can’t buy.” He motioned for her to drink the tea.

Feng Jiu smiled slightly. She found it secretly funny, did this person think that she was here to stay? Did he think that she wouldn’t be able to escape once she entered here?

“Do all the pills refined by the Alchemists here have to be accounted for?”

“Everytime a new pill is refined, a bottle of the pills must be handed in.” The middle-aged man replied. He looked at Feng Jiu: “There is a special place for collecting spirit herbs and medicinal pills in Pill King Valley. Any of those pills would be fought over as if it was worth dying for if they were ever to be put outside.”
