"The cauldron exploded?"
When the crowd realized that, the alchemy room had already started emitting a layer of an appalling gas wave.
The wave was silent, but it easily sent those at the entrance of the room flying. As they were flying, they could clearly see it.
Under the cauldron, the condensed Fire Seed that had increased in temperature during the pill compression step had expanded.
Condensing Fire Seed was easy. Xu Xiaoshou had also experienced an expanding Fire Seed.
At most, it was just like one of his Lesser Fireballs.
This was a Fire Seed that had been compressed for a couple of hours and continuously gotten energy replenishment to be released at the last minute.
The amount of damage that it could bring could be seen from Xu Xiaoshou's skilled action of escaping.
Its expansion caused the surrounding gases to be evaporated, and the space around it to be a vacuum.
