The Battle Through Heaven
Changing the Flow
The whole square was silent. Everyone's eyes carried incomparable regret as they looked at Grandmaster Huan, who had fainted on the ground. After surviving for ten days, no one expected that/it would end in failure at the last moment …
The two red-green lights interacted with each other in the medicinal cauldron. The rich medicinal aroma spread throughout the square. However, it no longer caused people to feel as relaxed as before. Instead, everyone felt their hearts become extremely heavy.
Tang Zhen's eyes looked dull as he looked at the medicinal cauldron. His defeated expression was unbearable to look at. A person like a giant revealed such emotions. That's really heartbreaking.
At the edge of the square, Tang Huo Er's beautiful face had also turned white. A moment later, he let out a grieving smile. Her beautiful body staggered a little. A few disciples from the Burning Flame Valley behind him quickly stepped forward to support him.
The entire square was completely silent. That solemn atmosphere caused everyone to feel extremely depressed. No one dared to open their mouths to speak at this moment …
The silent and pressurized atmosphere continued for a while before a low and deep voice suddenly sounded, breaking the pressing silence in the square as it happened.
’’ Valley Chief Tang, may I continue the refinement? ’’
Although Tang Zhen was in a desperate state, he subconsciously raised his head in shock upon hearing these words. He looked at Xiao Yan's serious face before slightly widening his mouth. Some hope suddenly surged from the despair in his heart. ’’ Young friend Xiao Yan, can you refine this Fire Bodhisattva Pill alone? ’
Xiao Yan slowly shook his head. They really think too highly of him. Even with his current self, there was a very low probability of success when refining a tier 7 high-grade medicinal pill. Nevertheless, it was at least better than just sitting and doing nothing.
” If we continue the refinement, there may still be a chance. However, if we give up now, we will fail miserably! ’
Xiao Yan's eyes weighed down on Tang Zhen. His eyes had the power of a young man. His experience during these years had created Xiao Yan's formidable character. He rarely mentions the words ‘surrender.’ If he were to give up in the midst of training for these twenty years, it seemed like he would not be able to escape the trash of the Xiao clan, let alone reach the stage he was currently on.
Tang Zhen's heart was slightly shaken when he felt Xiao Yan's warm eyes. His gaze turned to the green-red light emitted from the medicinal cauldron. After a moment of hesitation, he finally clenched his teeth and spoke in a deep voice, ” Young friend Yan Xiao, since you have said it like this, please continue. No one will blame you even if it ends up failing! ’
A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face when he heard Tang Zhen's reply. After that, he nodded a little.
’’ Valley Head Tang, please help take care of me. Don't let anyone bother me. I'll try my best. Fate will determine if I will end! ’Xiao Yan spoke in a serious way. He immediately closed his eyes slowly and the seal formed by his hand quickly changed. The Spiritual Strength between his eyebrows was swept out without being restrained. Immediately, it was like an endless wave as it surged into the craters of red fire medicines.
Tang Zhen straightened his body slightly when he saw Xiao Yan begin to act. The defeated expression on his face was quickly withdrawn. His body gradually rose to the sky while his stern eyes swept over him. Finally, he ordered in a deep voice, ’’ From now on, no one is allowed to enter anywhere within a hundred feet of the stone stage! ’’
The hearts of the disciples from the Burning Fire Valley shivered as they felt a sense of decisiveness in Tang Zhen's words. Immediately, they cupped both hands together and acknowledged the order. After which, they gradually retreated without creating the slightest sound.
All the alchemist grandmasters on the platform were stunned when they saw this scene. Their mouths involuntarily parted after understanding something. That/That Yan Xiao was actually thinking of refining the Bodhisattva Pill alone? Although only the final pill formation step was left in the refinement of this pill, it was definitely not something he would be able to accomplish. Please be aware that/that someone who can refine a high grade 7 medicinal pill is quite rare even in the Pill Tower …
Although everyone was filled with disbelief, they did not dare to randomly open their mouths after seeing the sharpness of Tang Zhen's face in the sky. All they could do was hide their doubts deep within their hearts.
Xiao Yan's face had a solitude that had never been seen before as he stood on the stone stage. His Spiritual Strength controlled every inch of the medicinal cauldron. That was why he could sense the frightening aspect of a high-grade tier 7 medicinal pill. The medicinal strength contained within it had reached a frightening level. It could even cause the natural energy of the surroundings to fluctuate. If it were not for this Mount Melting Cauldron, it was likely that/it external natural energy would have become disordered …
Spiritual Strength flowed out and completely wrapped the green-red light within the cauldron. Immediately, it was separated into a countless number of energy strings that were slowly merged into two clusters of light …
Spiritual Strength had just invaded the two clusters of light when Xiao Yan's body suddenly shook. The green and red viscous droplets may be small, but they contain the power of hundreds of rare medicinal ingredients. Moreover, all of these medicinal ingredients had grown over a long period of time. Currently, their medicinal strength had been combined together. This was enough to find out how dense the medicinal strength was in these two drops of viscous liquid.
Perhaps it was because of the two viscous liquids that made contact, but the medicinal strength within them seemed extremely wild and crude. It was extremely difficult for the fusion to continue. Moreover, the wild and violent medicinal strength exuded a repulsion that tried to encourage the other party …
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment before he discovered that the/it medicinal strength in the two drops of medicinal liquid did not indicate retardation. Instead, they become more intense. The gap between them was also slowly growing. If this continued, forget about fusion, even getting them to make contact would be an extremely difficult task.
This troublesome matter was something that Xiao Yan had met for the first time during the years of refining medicinal pills. It was not this troublesome even when he was refining pills back then in the Inner Academy. Of course, it was because Xiao Yan had entered a mysterious state at that time. Right now, he did not have such luck. So, he could only rely on his own ability …
Xiao Yan sighed deeply as he sensed the intense resistance transmitted from his Spiritual Strength, which was wrapped around two droplets of liquid. A thought passed through his mind, and one could feel Spiritual Strength, which permeated the interior of the medicinal cauldron, surging out. Finally, angrily pressed down two drops of liquid.
’’ Bang! ’’
A deep and solemn voice sounded within the medicinal cauldron. Under the full force of Xiao Yan's spiritual suppression, the two red-green droplets, which had just parted, were ruthlessly suppressed together. However, they did not become calm as a result. Instead, an even fiercer revenge erupted a moment later!
Wave after wave of unusually fierce energy ripples spread out from the two drops. Every time they collided against Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, they would cause his body to tremble slightly.
’After years of taking the refined pill, I can't believe that/that I can't finish two small things today!’
Xiao Yan was also slightly angered by the liquid energy retaliation. His heart turned even fiercer and the majestic Spiritual Strength within the medicinal cauldron immediately agglomerated into a spiral shape. It's starting to spin wild!
Following the transformation of Spiritual Strength into a rapidly spinning spiral, the pressure from it suddenly surged. The green and red liquid slowly made contact amidst this fierce pressure. After that, they were forced to knead together.
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind as these two droplets of liquid were squeezed together. The surging pressure was immediately reduced. At the same time, a green-tooth flame appeared out of nowhere, swallowing the green-red liquid.
The increase and reduction in pressure as well as the complete release of the flame was controlled by Xiao Yan. If any mistake were to occur during this period of time, it would result in the loss of some medicinal strength, and it would end up reducing the chances of successfully refining the pill.
Although Xiao Yan had squeezed two drops of liquid together, it had also depleted Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength. However, he was currently not considering any of this. His Spiritual Strength was the cosecution of instincts inserted into the green-red liquid. After which, he caught all the small changes in it. From here, he began to carefully control the pressure and temperature of the flame.
There was silence outside the stone stage. Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Yan's trembling body. His heart was lifted into his throat as a result, especially when he saw Xiao Yan's expression gradually turning pale. Even with Tang Zhen's composure, he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat increase.
However, it was fortunate that/it was the trembling of Xiao Yan's body did not continue for long before gradually calming down. At this moment, Tang Zhen felt a jade-green flame suddenly appear within the medicinal cauldron. His eyes looked, and he saw a green-red liquid slowly revolving within the flames. There were even signs of vaguely condensing liquid …
This scene was no stranger to Tang Zhen. He knew that/it was the precursor to pill formation. His heart rate suddenly accelerated. An excited expression also involuntarily appeared on his face. He never expected Xiao Yan to rely on his own ability to complete the final step …
Tang Zhen might see all things easy and relaxing from the outside, but Xiao Yan had put in a lot of effort. If his Spiritual Strength did not far exceed alchemists of the same level, he would definitely not be able to complete such a difficult task. Although this was the case, it also caused his powerful soul to gradually show signs of weakening …
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath in his heart. He forcefully suppressed the weak feeling within his soul, and he focused his mind on controlling the temperature of the flames and the spiritual pressure …
Under the repeated roasting of the green jade flame and the suppression of the moderate Spiritual Strength, the green-red liquid gradually hardened …
The silence inside the square continued throughout the day and night. During this period of time, the place died silent. Not even the slightest sound appeared. However, there was nothing left during this period of time. Everyone's eyes focused on the stone stage. Everyone really wanted to know whether this very young man would be able to complete this final step or not.
The rays of morning light suddenly scattered from the sky and broke the dark night in the mountain valley …
The natural energy within the enormous Burning Flame Valley suddenly began to fluctuate as the rays of this morning appeared!
Tang Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone stage, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze showed wild joy as he looked at the center of the stone stage. The scent of the pill suddenly spread from the medicinal cauldron.
”Thunder!”
Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky without warning as Tang Zhen opened his eyes. Lightning rolled in the dark clouds. The silver snakes flowed everywhere, producing a shocking and powerful sound as they moved.
