Chapter 156: Flame Mantra! Two types of Heavenly Flame!

"It's actually the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill?"

"That's the pill that can elevate a Dou Grandmaster by 1 Star, and it won't develop resistance immediately. At most, two can be taken simultaneously!"

The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is an ancient pill, both in terms of fame and actual efficacy, it's an existence that people yearn for.

"Haha! Today is truly fortunate. The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill was successfully refined in one go. This is a pill that can rival Fifth Grade Pills. How can you still contend with me? Haha."

In the sky above the square, Yan Li's mad laughter silenced the people from the Jia Ma Empire present at the scene.

The elders of the guild all wore extremely embarrassed expressions. The competition held by the Jia Ma Empire ended up with a foreigner taking the championship, which was simply a great humiliation!

"Yan Li successfully refined the Fourth Grade Pill: Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, rating: S+!"

Fa Ma announced the final result with a pained expression. As an Alchemist, he couldn't make an unjust evaluation.

"Damn it!"

"How could this happen!"

Liu Ling and Yao Yu were both filled with righteous indignation. Compared to their competition with each other, having a foreigner snatch the championship was more unbearable than either of them winning.

"Damn it!"

Although Xiao Yan didn't care whether the winner was from his country or foreign, he wasn't one to easily give up.

At this moment, Yao Chen's voice echoed in his mind again "It's impossible to defeat the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill with the Two-Line Green Spirit Pill unless it's the highest quality Three Lines Green Spirit Pill. Little Yan, have you thought it through? Controlling three types of flames simultaneously is a significant risk for you.

Moreover, now that the Pill has been formed, attempting to forcibly enhance the quality of the Pill is risky; even a slight mistake could lead to the Pill being destroyed. In that case, forget about winning the championship; it's likely that even a top-three ranking would be out of reach, resulting in a direct failure."

"We've come this far, how can we give up?"

"Teacher, trust me!"

Xiao Yan flicked his finger and took out the third flame from the Spatial Ring. It was a Rank 5 Beast Flame he bought from the auction.

"What is he doing?"

"Wow! He's actually controlling three types of flames simultaneously?"

"Is he further refining the Pill?"

"What determination! Come on! Defeat the Alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire!"

Seeing this, everyone started cheering Xiao Yan on.

"Hmph! It's just a desperate struggle."

"No matter how you struggle, this championship will definitely be mine!"

Yan Li's true identity was the Vice President of the Alchemist Guild of the Chu Yun Empire. He changed his appearance by taking the Appearance Recovery Pill, and under an assumed identity, he participated in the Alchemist competition of the Jia Ma Empire. As long as he secured the championship for the Chu Yun Empire, the next President of the Alchemist Guild would be his!

At this moment, on the square, only Yun Tianming and Xiao Yan were still refining medicine.

What surprised everyone was that the two of them had remarkably similar alchemy techniques, and they were using identical medicinal materials.

"These two, could they be from the same school?"

People looked puzzled, but soon their attention shifted to Yun Tianming's medicine cauldron.

In the cauldron, a green flame and a deep blue flame suddenly appeared, causing the temperature around to rise sharply.

"Heavenly Flame!"

"That's a Heavenly Flame. And it's two types of Heavenly Flame!!"

The whole place went into a frenzy. Heavenly Flame is the coveted treasure of all Alchemists. It was already enviable enough for Xiao Yan to possess one Heavenly Flame, but no one would have expected Yun Tianming to possess two Heavenly Flames!!!

"What's going on? Heavenly Flame, this kind of spiritual entity from heaven and earth, can only be refined one type at a time. Two types of Heavenly Flame will surely cause an explosion."

Fa Ma widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Teacher! Could he also be practicing...!"

Xiao Yan seemed to realize something and immediately paled.

"Your intuition is not wrong. This person is indeed practicing the Flame Mantra!"

Yao Chen's voice sounded somewhat weary and desolate.

In the world, only two people have practiced the Flame Mantra. The first person was his unfilial disciple Han Feng, and the second person was Xiao Yan himself.

Considering his understanding of Han Feng's character, the latter would never share his Qi Method.

So there's only one possible answer: Han Feng is dead!

Yun Tianming has fully absorbed Han Feng's Qi Method, Dou Technique, and prescription.

"Flame Mantra! Two types of Heavenly Flame!!"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and inevitably, a strong sense of jealousy arose within him.

He even had a feeling that all of this should have belonged to him originally!

"Little Yan, now is not the time to be distracted. Finish the Pill first."

Yao Chen said so, but his own mind was already in turmoil.

Honestly speaking, he should have felt happy about the death of his unfilial disciple Han Feng. But regardless, the latter was still his disciple whom he had nurtured. Despite suffering betrayal from Han Feng, in Yao Chen's subconscious, executing the traitor who betrayed his master should have been his own task.

Now, hearing suddenly that his enemy had been taken care of by someone else, he felt a complicated mix of emotions that were hard to express.

"Ah! Condense for me!!"

Because of the situation with the Flame Mantra and Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yan was extremely restless and agitated, which affected his control over the three flames. In the end, his efforts fell short; not only did the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill fail, but even the original Two Lines Green Spirit Pill was ruined.

"Xiao Yan failed in refining, disqualified."

The guild judges shook their heads one after another, thinking that young people are too arrogant. Clearly, relying on the Two Lines Green Spirit Pill, Xiao Yan could have easily secured a spot in the top three of the competition. Yet, he insisted on competing for the first place, and now he didn't even achieve any rank.

Looking at the Pill reduced to ashes in front of him, Xiao Yan stood stiffly on the stone platform. In his pitch-black eyes, which were originally lively and calm, there was now a hint of confusion and loss.

"Hmph! So what if you have the Heavenly Flame? The alchemy skills I've honed for many years are not something a young person like you can compare to."

Yan Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In fact, when Xiao Yan risked using three types of flames to temper the Pill, he felt somewhat afraid.

For him, hiding his identity and infiltrating the Jia Ma Empire alone to participate in the Alchemist competition, if he couldn't win the championship, then it would be difficult for him to safely return to the Chu Yun Empire.

After all, Fa Ma and the others are not fools. They probably have already sensed his true identity by now, but due to the dignity of the competition, they can't act rashly.

"Now, there's only one person left."

Yan Li's gaze was fixed on Yun Tianming, releasing his Soul Perception and discovering the terrifyingly violent energy within the opponent's medicine cauldron.

"Dong dong dong dong~"

The medicine cauldron in front of Yun Tianming began to shake violently. If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron's excellent quality, an ordinary cauldron would have long been unable to withstand the raging energy and exploded.

"Yun Tianming, come on!"

"The honor of the Jia Ma Empire rests solely on your shoulders!"

Yao Yu clasped her hands together, praying wholeheartedly.
