Calm Pill Refining
"That's a Strange Flame!!"
"My heavens, a clash of Strange Flames! That Alchemist named Xiao Yan also has a Strange Flame!"
The collision of two flames naturally attracted the attention of countless people, not to mention that one side was the Medicine Bone Sect's Sect Leader, Bone Child Old Man, a Seventh Grade Alchemist, and the other side was Xiao Yan, the initiator of the recently popular Flame Alliance Covenant! The Wind Fury Dragon Flame was born in the eye of a tornado, so its shape is very similar to a tornado. The color of the flame is like yellow sand with a bit of gray-white, but the wind filaments that look like a tornado are actually strands of extremely high-temperature flames.
From a distance, it looked as if a towering tornado was violently hitting a cyan lotus flower. Under the collision of two powerful forces, wisps of fire splashed everywhere.
The collision of the two Strange Flames generated a high-temperature storm, constantly blowing to both sides.
With the appearance of the Strange Flame, not only the temperature of this mountain range, but even the temperature of the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion increased slightly.
"So strong! That person named Xiao Yan is actually no weaker than Bone Child Old Man!!"
"Bone Child Old Man possesses the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, what Strange Flame is that cyan one of Xiao Yan's?"
On the viewing platform, the old manager of the Yellow Springs Rare Goods Pavilion beside Qiu Ping stroked his beard and smiled, "The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, a duel between two Alchemists possessing Strange Flames, even in Central State, this is a sensational event."
Qiu Ping's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect this person named Xiao Yan to be so deeply hidden, actually also being an Alchemist possessing a Strange Flame!
Moreover, judging from this, his strength is definitely more than Fifth Grade, possibly a Sixth Grade or even a Rank 6 High-Level Alchemist!
"No wonder he is so arrogant, he must have a master guiding him behind the scenes, otherwise it is impossible to enter the door of Pill Refining without a master." Qiu Ping immediately understood that Xiao Yan must have a powerful master behind him.
"Betting on Strange Flames."
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, revealing an extremely conceited and arrogant look, and he slowly asked, "Betting on Strange Flames? How do you want to bet?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's extremely conceited appearance, Bone Child Old Man was overjoyed in his heart.
"Let's decide the outcome based on today's Pill Refining competition. Whoever loses will peel the Strange Flame from their Soul and hand it over to the other party!" Bone Child Old Man said with a smile.
Bone Child Old Man is an old fox. Not only did he obtain the inheritance of a powerful Alchemist, but he also possesses a Strange Flame, and his Pill Refining skills have reached the Seventh Grade, continuously dominating the title of strongest Alchemist in the Sect Assembly for several sessions! Therefore, not to mention the Northwest Region, even in Central State, he has a considerable reputation.
It is precisely because of this that Bone Child Old Man dares to challenge Xiao Yan, and even intends to use the Strange Flame as a bet with Xiao Yan.
At this time, the Alchemists present were all looking at Xiao Yan. Among Alchemists, it is normal to determine the outcome by Pill Refining. Such things often happen among Alchemists.
However, the bet being a Strange Flame, they had never heard of it!
"Since someone insists on giving me a Strange Flame, so be it, let's have a match." Xiao Yan smiled, waved his hand casually, and dispersed the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. The Strange Flames of both sides slowly dissipated.
Actually, it wasn't that Bone Child Old Man wanted to bet so big, the main reason was that he needed a Strange Flame very much now.
As the rumors said, Bone Child Old Man was approaching his lifespan limit, and his body would soon revert to that of a child. When he reverts back, he will lose his ability to move, let alone pass on the family line.
It was because of this that he went to Central State and found the Qiu Family's Eighth Grade Alchemist, hoping that the other party would help refine an Eighth Grade Pill to break this side effect.
He found the person, but the price for an Alchemist from Central State to take action is definitely astronomical, not to mention an Eighth Grade Alchemist. Not many people in the entire Northwest Region can afford this price.
And obviously, he has a price that can move an Eighth Grade Alchemist.
A Strange Flame.
Therefore, when Bone Child Old Man saw that Xiao Yan had the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, he repeatedly provoked him. He also deliberately poached Yue Er and even verbally provoked Xiao Yan, with the purpose of angering Xiao Yan and leading him into a bet with himself.
He wanted Xiao Yan's Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to use as the price for seeking a Pill from the Qiu Family.
Seeing Xiao Yan arrogantly agree, Bone Child Old Man smiled in his heart and said proudly, "I won't bully you. Today, I will refine a furnace of Sixth Grade Pills. If you can refine a Sixth Grade Pill that surpasses mine, then I will consider you to have won."
Xiao Yan slowly walked to a stone platform, shook his hand, and said indifferently, "No need, you should still refine with your full strength, and I won't be refining Sixth Grade Pills today."
Hearing Xiao Yan's casual voice, saying that he wouldn't refine Sixth Grade Pills, for a moment, everyone's first reaction was: Ah? What? Only a Fifth Grade Alchemist?
Then, as the first person to react exclaimed, an extremely terrifying thought suddenly appeared in everyone's minds.
Not refining Sixth Grade, could it be Seventh Grade!!! Thump! Qiu Ping, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly stood up, even knocking over his chair. At this time, Qiu Ping, who was already accustomed to seeing storms and was also a well-known figure in the Pill Domain, changed his face drastically. It could be said to be astonishment, even horror! "SeventhSeventh Grade! A twenty-three-year-old Seventh Grade! Impossible, how could there be such a talented person in a mere Northwest Region border country!" Qiu Ping was unwilling to believe it, and dared not believe it, because a twenty-three-year-old Seventh Grade Alchemist is a miracle!
This was not something that had never happened before. Coincidentally, there is such a super genius in the Pill Domain now, whose Pill Refining talent even surpasses Xiao Yan.
That Pill Demon, the enchanting girl, was able to refine Seventh Grade Pills at the age of twenty, becoming a great mountain that made all the Alchemists in the Pill Domain despair.
Cao Ying, the beloved daughter of the Cao Family, one of the five great families in the Pill Domain.
Because of a Cao Ying, the Cao Family directly flourished, and even showed signs of becoming the head of the five great families.
And now, what did Qiu Ping see! Another Cao Ying! "Nohe is not necessarily a Seventh Grade Alchemist, he may just be at the peak of Sixth Grade, intending to challenge Seventh Grade Pills." Qiu Ping kept comforting himself, but even he himself didn't quite believe this statement.
Because Xiao Yan was too confident!
Betting on a Strange Flame, he agreed in one go! Now it seems, was it Xiao Yan who tricked Bone Child Old Man, or Bone Child Old Man who tricked Xiao Yan? It's hard to tell!
Although the old shopkeeper of the Yellow Springs Rare Goods Pavilion was mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he heard that Xiao Yan was really going to refine a Seventh Grade pill, and muttered, "We'll know soon enough if it's true or not."
Xiao Yan ignored the surprised gazes around him, took out the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron and placed it on the stone platform, then took out one brocade box after another from his Storage Ring. Several of these brocade boxes were marked with the Yellow Springs Pavilion's logo, and these were naturally Medicinal Herbs bought from the Yellow Springs Rare Goods Pavilion.
The pill Xiao Yan was going to refine this time was even more difficult than the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.
The Seventh Grade Greater Soul Black-Purple Pill was a pill of the Soul Palace!
"So many Medicinal Herbs!" At this moment, everyone present was shocked. For a time, the people present looked at the stone platform in front of Xiao Yan, seeing the dense brocade boxes, as if they were seeing a ghost. The expression on their faces was completely indescribable.
"My god, I've never seen a Pill Recipe that uses so many Medicinal Herbs for Pill Refining in my life. This, this is too outrageous." One of the old Alchemists who was also participating in the competition couldn't help but say such a rude remark.
At this time, even Alchemists who had never refined Seventh Grade pills knew that so many Medicinal Herbs were needed, it was definitely not a Sixth Grade pill. Even the Sect Breakthrough Pill didn't require so many Medicinal Herbs!
For a time, countless people were drooling all over the ground, and some people had surprised expressions. It's no wonder they were like this. After all, for anyone, even the Sect Leader within a Sect, Seventh Grade pills were priceless treasures. Even existences like Dou Zong may not have the ability to take Seventh Grade pills. They couldn't ask for it even if they wanted to, let alone others.
Only super overlord forces like the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would have the capital to buy Seventh Grade pills for use.
Before this, others might have thought that Xiao Yan's bet with Bone Child Old Man was ignorant and arrogant, but at this time, no one had any temper.
No wonder he didn't participate in the younger generation's Alchemist competition. With his strength, competing in the under-thirty competition was like playing in the mud, just bullying children.
And now, he had gone from bullying children at the Alchemist Convention of the Gama Empire to bullying old people! Yue Er, who was watching from the side, could only smile wryly. Now, she wouldn't be surprised no matter what happened. In her opinion, Xiao Yan's Pill Refining technique was a miracle.
The Soul power and fire control that gave Alchemists the biggest headache and were the most difficult to improve, he seemed to be playing around with it, and it rose steadily.
The most uncomfortable one was Bone Child Old Man. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but he didn't seem to be sure of winning now!
There was a risk of losing! Bone Child Old Man took a deep breath, also walked to a stone platform, looked at Xiao Yan coldly, and said grimly: "Good, you hid it deep enough, but you are too young after all. Today, this old man will let you lose miserably. Your Strange Flame belongs to me!"
After Bone Child Old Man calmed down, he was also full of confidence. In his opinion, he had cultivated Pill Refining techniques for so long, and few in the younger generation could match him. He also thought highly of himself.
Even if you are also a Seventh Grade Alchemist, so what? He had been a Seventh Grade Alchemist for many years, and he was not afraid at all! Bone Child Old Man also took out a large pile of Medicinal Herbs, and he took out twice as many Medicinal Herbs as Xiao Yan. However, he had a full three portions here, while Xiao Yan didn't intend to leave himself a way out at all, and wanted to end the battle with one portion! For this level of Pill Refining competition, there was no need to call start, because refining pills above the Sixth Grade would take several days, and some Seventh Grade pills would take even half a month or longer. Those few minutes didn't matter at all.
"Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look, there is also a gap between Seventh Grade Alchemists." At this time, Bone Child Old Man sneered at Xiao Yan, stepped on the ground, and instantly sacrificed his Medicine Cauldron.
With a *dong* sound, a Medicine Cauldron that was pure white all over, and looked like a White Tiger entrenched from a distance, spitting out wisps of white light, and when these wisps of white light jumped, it was as if a White Tiger appeared.
Although it was not as good as Xiao Yan's Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, the quality of this Medicine Cauldron was not low, and it was estimated to be an Eighth Grade Medicine Cauldron.
"This Medicine Cauldron is not simple." Feeling the aura of this Medicine Cauldron, many knowledgeable experts present knew that this Medicine Cauldron was extraordinary.
"This is the White Tiger Medicine Cauldron, an ancient Medicine Cauldron that Bone Child Old Man obtained from that ruin. It is an Eighth Grade Medicine Cauldron." There was a knowledgeable Alchemist present who immediately recognized the origin of this Medicine Cauldron.
However, there were even more knowledgeable people who were staring at Xiao Yan's red Medicine Cauldron. They saw that the moment Xiao Yan threw the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame into the Medicine Cauldron, the Ten Thousand Beasts patterns on the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron became vivid, as if they had come alive.
"Why does that look a bit like the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking?"
However, Medicine Cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking were too rare, and no one dared to be sure.
Soon, as Xiao Yan and Bone Child Old Man threw their Strange Flames into the Medicine Cauldron, the Medicine Cauldron automatically released a light that shielded the Pill Refining techniques.
The vast light fell down, covering a space. This was a very common thing to prevent others from peeking at the Pill Refining techniques.
After the Strange Flame entered the Medicine Cauldron, other Alchemists dared to summon their own fire seeds. After all, as long as they were not stupid, they would not summon their own fire seeds in front of the Strange Flame, that would be asking for trouble.
The fact that Xiao Yan was a Seventh Grade Alchemist and also possessed a Strange Flame, and that he was betting on the Strange Flame with Bone Child Old Man, naturally spread throughout the Heavenly Serpent Mansion mountain range in an instant.
"Seventh Grade?!" She Tianhao's face changed drastically at this time, and he finally took Xiao Yan seriously for the first time, and took the Flame Alliance seriously!
If the Flame Alliance was only relying on Jia Xing Tian, a one-star Dou Zong, then the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would not take the Flame Alliance seriously at all, let alone let Qing Lin go.
But if the Flame Alliance had a Seventh Grade Alchemist, and a young one at that, then it would be completely different! The energy of a Seventh Grade Alchemist made him a little afraid.
This was even more dangerous than Bone Child Old Man's Medicine Bone Sect!
"No way, that young man is a Seventh Grade Alchemist?! Are you kidding me! Even if he started Pill Refining from the womb, it's impossible!"
"It's true, go and see if you don't believe me."
"Let's go, let's go and see."
Because of Xiao Yan's actions, the arena battle, which originally had the most spectators, suddenly had a lot fewer people.
Even some Sects sent experts to watch the battle.
"'Young Master is really amazing.' In the audience seats, Qing Lin, wearing a cyan veil, showed a happy smile after hearing this."
Of course, she knew that Xiao Yan was a Seventh Grade Alchemist; after all, she had already eaten the pills he made.
"Palace Master, I plan to go and watch the Alchemist competition," Qing Lin said slowly.
She Tianhao's expression immediately became a little unnatural. Of course, he knew that Qing Lin was not interested in Pill Refining, but rather in a certain Alchemist!
"Heh heh heh, since Qing Lin is interested in Pill Refining, I will accompany you to watch it," She Tianhao naturally had no reason to refuse Qing Lin from watching the battle, but he could follow along!
Qing Lin was silent for a while, then nodded lightly.
For a time, not only the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, but even the Lion Nether Sect's Sect Leader, the Thunder Sect's Sect Leader, and several other powerful sects went to the Alchemist competition's plaza, standing in the sky to watch.
There was no shortage of knowledgeable people among the strong present. Even if they could not see the Bone Child Old Man's Pill Refining techniques, just looking at the Bone Child Old Man's smooth and flowing extraction of Medicinal Herbs, and his methodical control of the flames, made people understand that a Seventh Grade Alchemist was no joke! His fire control and Soul power had definitely reached the Seventh Grade level! "This fire control is so strong, does he have some unique fire control method?"
