Zhuo Tianxiang descended the boat first, while the others followed him . Clearly, his status was very high even within Pill Valley . The experts guarding the transportation formation all bowed toward him .
As for Zhuo Tianxiang, he only nodded slightly in reply . Although these people were all Life Star experts, the guards had to be deferential to Zhuo Tianxiang’s group .
“This is normal . Within Pill Valley, rather than having a high cultivation base, having high alchemy skills is the most important thing,” said an elder upon seeing Long Chen’s curious expression .
Long Chen immediately understood . Pill Valley’s foundation was their medicinal pills . They represented the alchemy world’s greatest glory . So compared to cultivation base, alchemy was more important .
However, to have four Life Star experts guarding a single transportation formation, Pill Valley’s wealth was truly frightening .
“Just raising cultivation base is useless . Training your alchemy arts is the most important thing . Fighting and other coarse work can be easily handled by others . That’s why you don’t need to feel inferior about having a low cultivation base . There are countless medicinal pills in Pill Valley that can raise your cultivation base . But raising your alchemy arts depends on yourself . Remember, alchemy arts are the most important thing in Pill Valley,” said Zhuo Tianxiang .
In Pill Valley’s eyes, no matter how great your cultivation talent was, at best you would just be a high level fighter . Alchemy was the truly important thing .
“Yes, many thanks for Protector Zhuo’s reminder . Disciple will remember your words,” said Long Chen .
Zhuo Tianxiang suddenly felt something was off . Sweeping out with his divine sense, he saw Long San staring at his butt .
He was startled . What illness did this brat have? He suddenly noticed a strange emotion in Long San’s eyes .
“What the, is this brat…”
Zhuo Tianxiang’s hair stood on end . He suddenly thought of something strange . When he had gone through Long San’s memories, he hadn’t seen any memories of him falling for girls . In fact, even his memories of women were indistinct .

He hadn’t particularly noticed that before, but now with Long San staring at his butt, he immediately thought of it .
He felt like Long San’s gaze was like a viper’s, sweeping back and forth across his butt . Goosebumps raised across his skin .
“This bastard, he’s a homosexual?” Zhuo Tianxiang suddenly felt noxious . It was no wonder he had been feeling disgusted by him from the start . So this was the case .
“Long San, you walk at the front!”
Zhuo Tianxiang immediately stopped and made Long Chen come forward .
Long Chen hastily stopped staring and said, “How could disciple possibly walk in front of you? Disciple does not dare . Disciple would rather stay here and stare at Protector Zhuo’s grand back . That is disciple’s glory . ”
Zhuo Tianxiang was enraged . His suspicion that Long San was a homosexual increased even more .
“If I tell you to go to the front, then go to the front!”
“Yes! Disciple will go immediately!” Long Chen acted cowed and walked to the front . But inside, he was ecstatic . With all the tricks up his sleeve, getting out of Zhuo Tianxiang’s close watch was easy .
“Zhao Xiang, I suddenly recall I have many things to handle . I’ll leave Long San to you . You’ll be in charge of everything when it comes to Long San,” said Zhuo Tianxiang to one of the experts beside him .
“Me? But my alchemy arts are far inferior to yours!” said that Zhao Xiang .

“It’s fine . Long San is definitely smart enough to enter the Divine Pill Hall . He’ll get specialists to teach him alchemy arts at that time . With his talent, all you have to do is make sure he has what he needs . Give him everything he wants . If there are any difficulties, you can find me,” said Zhuo Tianxiang .
“Yes . Many thanks, Protector Zhuo!” Zhao Xiang was extremely grateful . The other experts all had envious expressions .
Long Chen was like a piece of fat meat in their hands . They would all be getting some benefits .
That was because his future accomplishments would be amazing, and they would have contributed merit in bringing such a genius to Pill Valley . If their luck was good, they would be getting quite some benefits .
Originally, they had thought Zhuo Tianxiang would be consuming this piece of meat on his own . But now Zhuo Tianxiang had abandoned this piece of meat and had tossed it to them .
Long Chen was walking at the front, and hearing Zhuo Tianxiang’s words, a ‘disappointed’ expression appeared on his face . Inside, he patted himself on the back . As expected, shameless moves were the most effective . Now it would be much easier for him to act in the future .
Zhuo Tianxiang kept walking behind Long Chen the entire time before they stepped into the transportation formation and were brought away .
The scenery before them changed, and they appeared in front of a huge valley . Two high mountains soared into the clouds, and a large river slowly flowed at the center .
Spiritual qi that had been condensed to practically the pinnacle washed over them . With each breath, it flowed into them, completely opening their pores .
“What immense spiritual qi!” Although Long Chen had been expecting Pill Valley to be a wonderland, such dense spiritual qi still shocked him .
Let alone cultivators, even ordinary people would have their longevity increase by breathing in such dense spiritual qi all year around . Living a few centuries would definitely be no problem . To ordinary mortals, this place was definitely an immortal wonderland .
“Take note of your appearance . Now that we’re within Pill Valley, don’t act like a country bumpkin . If you look too excited, others will laugh at you,” snorted Zhuo Tianxiang .

Long Chen cursed inside . So what if he was a country bumpkin that hadn’t seen the world? But he put on a deeply respectful expression .
The more Long Chen acted like this, the more Zhuo Tianxiang couldn’t bear to look at him . He said, “I have things to do, so I’m going . You can bring Long San to the Pill Management Department to register . ”
Zhuo Tianxiang took out a jade plate . It lit up and enveloped him, and he vanished .
“We should get going . ” Once Zhuo Tianxiang left, Zhao Xiang took out a flying boat and brought everyone into the valley . With the high mountains to their side and the lake below, it was a beautiful scene .
“Haha, Long San, Protector Zhuo has a sharp tongue, but he’s softhearted . You don’t need to be afraid . As Pill Valley’s disciple, you should feel the glory and grandness that a disciple of Pill Valley should possess . What you see before you will become your greatest support . If you’re happy, you can shout it out . None of us will laugh at you . ” Zhao Xiang smiled as Long Chen appreciated the scenery around .
He was different from Zhuo Tianxiang . His status was just average, and he had to take advantage of when Long San hadn’t soared yet to form a good relationship with him . Once Long San soared, his own station would rise with him . This was the best moment to help him out .
“Many thanks, Elder Zhao Xiang,” said Long Chen .
“There’s no need to be so courteous . This valley continues for two hundred thousand miles . It has eighty-one wonders, and three hundred and sixty turns . Each turn brings with it different scenery…” Zhao Xiang politely explained everything . He intentionally slowed down the flying boat to show the various spectacles .
Long Chen had no choice but to sigh in admiration . Each wonder, each turn brought with it a change . It occurred at a strange rhythm that seemed to be showing things to him in sequence .
“Could it be that each wonder represents a different mental realm of alchemy?” asked Long Chen .
As soon as he said this, Zhao Xiang and the others became stunned, staring at him like he was a monster .
“Long San, you really are a genius amongst geniuses . This valley’s eighty-one wonders represent the eighty-one shackles one will encounter along the path of the Alchemy Dao . Normally, when disciples run into bottlenecks and can’t progress, they will come to this valley and walk around it, trying to comprehend its profundities to create an opportunity to break through . Long San, for you to be able to see such a thing shows that your future accomplishments will be limitless!” praised an elder . This was not just purely boot-licking, but true praise for Long Chen’s terrifying comprehension ability .
“Eighty-one shackles? What idiot concluded that? The Alchemy Dao is a Grand Dao, and a limitless Dao at that . Who could possibly capture all its profundities? What a joke,” sneered Long Chen inside .
As he continued forward, he truly saw that each wonder was a mental realm for alchemy, and seeing them could truly raise a person’s comprehension . But trying to represent the sum of the Alchemy Dao in eighty-one mental realms was a complete impossibility .
Originally, Long Chen had felt some respect for Pill Valley, but after seeing this, that respect silently vanished .
When they reached the end of the valley, what greeted them was a huge ancient castle . This castle had to be ten thousand miles wide at least . There were two large statues at the front of the castle . They were the same height as the castle and emitted a divine aura .
“These two are the gods we of Pill Valley believe in, Lord Brahma and Fallen Daynight . ” Zhao Xiang and the others respectfully stopped and bowed toward the statues . They murmured something, but Long Chen didn’t hear what they said .
That was because he was staring closely at the two huge statues . The left one was holding a scroll in his hand . He looked very handsome and scholarly . He was Lord Brahma .
The other one was a rougher looking man with facial hair . He held a pill furnace in his hands and was gazing into the distance . He was Fallen Daynight .
“Fallen Daynight? Lord Brahma?”
For some unknown reason, flames of fury rose in Long Chen’s heart as he stared at these two statues . He had an urge to smash them apart . That startled him . What was going on?
At this time, Zhao Xiang and the others finished paying their respect and led Long Chen past the two statues . Their flying boat landed on a large platform .
“Long San, come . I’ll bring you to register at the Pill Management Department . ”
Fallen Daynight is 落天夜, literally falling heaven/sky/day night . Procounced Luo Tian Ye .
Lord Brahma is 大梵天, literally great nirvana or lord Brahma . Here, I would assume the Brahma is referring to the Buddhist Brahma and not the Hindu Brahma . Generally the middle character is used for Buddhist things, and it could refer to Brahman (notice the extra n at the end) on its own, but combined with the last character, it refers to Brahma and the Nirvana of Buddhism . The Nirvana Scripture has the same name, in the sense that it could be called Lord Brahma’s Scripture, or Lord Brahma could be called Lord Nirvana . Pronounced Da Fan Tian .
