The Battle Through Heaven
Source of Problem
In the large square, most alchemists rejoiced as soon as they checked the formula and immediately lit their Dou Qi flames and began preparing the steps to refine the pill.
Of course, among so many alchemists, there were of course some who were cautious who upon seeing the simple test were shocked and hesitant. But after discovering nothing was wrong, they could only shake their heads helplessly, and light a fire …
Xiao Yan resolutely observed the purple flames soaring in the cauldron. After the temperature of the flames reached a sufficient temperature, he slowly began to enter the medicinal ingredients one by one. His disciple shriveled as he slowly began to refine.
Right after Xiao Yan began to purify, Liu Ling and the Little Princess by his side, slightly frowned, and also began to purify. They had orthodox formulas, and with their abilities, as long as they were careful, refining should not be too difficult. That is, unless they suffer a very unlucky stroke. After all, no matter what, it was impossible to have a 100% success rate in terms of refining.
As the refining of the medicine once again began, the sounds of the two seating galleries at the side also gradually diminished. Many gazes swept over the alchemists in the open square, staring at those within the open ground with envious faces as the latter released a fire-like essence by raising their hands.
In front of the VIP seats, Fa Ma stood with his hands clenched. His gaze instantly fixed on the gray-robed young man in a secluded place in the open ground. Seeing that the method the gray-robed man used while refining medicine was as good as some elders in the association, he slightly knitted his brows. In a soft voice, he muttered, "This kind of highly trained skill is something that one would be impossible to have without several decades to train this person is indeed very strange. But why haven't I heard when such a high-level alchemist appeared in the Chu Yun Empire? Don't tell me he's new to music? "
"Let's see first if he can get through this round ..." Fa Ma sighed and once again turned his gaze back to Xiao Yan's three-man group. He softly said, "Hopefully these three people can also pass by .. please don't be too careless."
As time slowly flowed, some competitors in the open, whose abilities were quite good, had refined all the necessary amount of medicinal ingredients. After hesitating for a moment, they clenched their teeth and poured all the essence components into the medicinal cauldron, starting the final part of the refinement.
Xiao Yan's gaze focused on the medicinal ingredients that were writhing within the Purple Flame. Since he was worried about the possibility of some trouble suddenly appearing, his refining speed this time around was extremely slow. This resulted in him still purifying carefully at a steady pace while many other competitors had refined all the essential components of the medicinal ingredients.
"There seems to be no problem ..." After some time, Xiao Yan stared at the pale purple pile that had formed from roasting medicinal ingredients with Purple Flame. He muttered to himself, unscrewing the cauldron cover and siphoning off the pale purple powder before storing it inside the jade bottle.
The gaze of iao Yan slowly swept across the nine jade bottles in front of him. The materials needed to refine this ‘Pil Walking Wind’ have been completely refined by him. Next is the final step to combine the two.
Xiao Yan slowly rubbed the warm surface of the jade bottle while pondering for a moment. Finally, he stopped hesitating. With a wave of his hand, he threw all the ingredients inside the jade bottle into the medicinal cauldron. But at this moment, a muffled soft sound suddenly shot out from the green table not far from him. Xiao Yan raised his eyes to look. In that place, an alchemist foolishly stared at the pile of black ash being ejected from the medicinal cauldron. Obviously, this is the product of a failed purification attempt
"How come? Didn't I fully follow the medicinal formula? Why did I fail? " The alchemist muttered softly and hesitantly. A moment later, he who had no answer could only attribute the failure this time around to his failure in controlling the flames. Therefore, he quickly cleaned his ashes and started throwing the last medicinal ingredient into the medicinal cauldron as if he had done it a thousand times before and started to proceed with refining.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as he watched the alchemist's actions. His hand, which was lifting the jade bottle was slowly laid out. His gaze stared at every last action. This alchemist was someone Xiao Yan had seen before in the internal tests. Logically speaking, he who possessed the ability of a tier three alchemist should not make extremely low-level mistakes such as improper flame control when refining a tier three medicinal pill. Although it was said like this, the true event that appeared before him was that he had indeed failed in purification
"There's something wrong ..." Xiao Yan softly muttered. He tried his best to calm himself down. When he looked at both sides, he realized that Little Princess and Liu Ling had already started combining medicinal ingredients.
As more time passed, many soft muffled sounds from the medicinal cauldron occurred one after another on the vast open ground. The alchemists who failed stared at the dark black soot that scattered out from the cauldron with completely dumbfounded faces. Their bewildered eyes made everyone know that they did not seem to know where it came from.
The people in the audience seats started whispering privately amongst themselves as they watched the alchemists who had suddenly become dumb-looking.
"Bang, bang ..." Two other soft muffled sounds were emitted by both sides of Xiao Yan. He looked to see. Upon seeing the ugly expressions of Liu Ling and the Little Princess, he slowly exhaled.
Looks like something's wrong. In the VIP seat, Ya Fei softly said. As he did so, his astonished eyes saw all the alchemists on the open ground turning into fools who exchanged glances with each other.
"Something is indeed wrong Although I am not an alchemist, I also know that one's success rate in refinement will greatly increase if one purifies it according to the medicinal formula. However, the people below, including Liu Ling and Little Princess all seemed to fail "Nalan Yanran furrowed her brows and said.
"This exam question seems to hide a mystery." Yao Ye's long right leg was crossed with his left leg. He watched the open field that had a strange atmosphere and spoke.
"Bang ..." Another muffled voice was suddenly transmitted from a short distance in front of Xiao Yan. The previous failed third-rate alchemist still ended in failure during the merging passage this time around. He was currently observing the dark black soot spilling from the bottom of the medicinal cauldron with a green face.
After this voice rang, a red light suddenly lit up from the jade mirror in front of the tier three alchemist. Evidently, he had lost his last chance after consuming both portions of the medicinal ingredients.
The entire body of the alchemist trembled as he took out his medicinal cauldron with a green face. After which, he furiously walked out of the place while filled with anger and ignorance. As he walked past Xiao Yan, the latter could faintly hear him muttering to himself in a non-surrender manner, "Founder. How can I fail again? My control over the flames was obviously very good. Why would they not join? "
Xiao Yan sent the alchemist away with his gaze. He rubbed the warm and moist jade bottle as he narrowed his eyes. A while later, he suddenly poured the ingredients in the bottle into the medicinal cauldron. Right now he needed to personally sense exactly what reason was causing so many participants to be unable to successfully refine a medicinal pill.
Xiao Yan's gaze stared intently at the wriggling purple-colored flame. Systematically, he placed the ingredients contained within the nine jade bottles into the medicinal cauldron one by one. After which, he controlled the Purple Flame and separated it. Finally, he took a deep breath and began to carefully combine them
Since he had witnessed the many people before him, Xiao Yan was almost more cautious than everyone else this time. His Spiritual Strength spewed out, covering every inch of Purple Flame. He did his best to keep all the reactions made when each type of medicinal ingredient was combined and precisely send it to his mind.
When Xiao Yan started to light his fire and did a merger, several alchemists in the surroundings including Liu Ling and Little Princess threw their gazes. In circumstances where they have no other solution, they can only hope that the youth who obtained the best results in this internal test can solve this difficult problem …
Xiao Yan ignored the surrounding gazes as he put all his attention into controlling Purple Flame. Under the Purple Flame roasting, the ingredients were gradually and successfully combined one after another.
Three-Tailed Leaf Wings .. successfully merged!
"Cloud Grass successfully combined!"
"Off-ground fruit successfully merged!"
One by one, the ingredients were successfully combined without the slightest resistance under the sensitive senses of Xiao Yan Spiritual Strength.
"Thick ground ganoderma ..." Xiao Yan's eyebrows suddenly fused slightly. His expression suddenly and immediately changed. The flame that was soaring within the medicinal cauldron was writhing vigorously. Instantly, a soft muffled sound was emitted from within it and some black-colored soot spilled out.
"Ah .." Hearing the muffled voice, the people around sighed in disappointment ..
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and stared at the dark black soot on the stone table. He was silent for a moment. His fingers dipped and scooped slightly and rubbed it with his fingertips. A quick glint of somewhat unnatural ripples transmitted to him through his Spiritual Strength during the previous merging process appeared in his mind.
After being silent for a moment, Xiao Yan's rubbed hands suddenly became stiff. His gaze suddenly stopped on the medicinal formula scroll on the stone table. He pursed his lips slightly, tightened his fists and softly muttered, "Damn …"
"Heh, what a bunch of useless people ..." In the quiet open ground, a soft, ridicule-like laughter suddenly resounded, causing everyone to stare angrily.
As his gaze followed the voice and floated, Xiao Yan realized that the person who let out the voice was actually the gray-robed young man in a far corner. Currently he also had a pile of black-colored soot on the stone table in front of him. From the looks of it, it seemed that he had also failed in his first attempt.
The gray-robed youth ignored the gaze filled with anger. The corner of his mouth contained a cold smile as he suddenly threw the last medicinal ingredient on the table into the medicinal cauldron. A faint laugh echoed in the open field, "It seems like I'm leading in this round. The alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire were only so-so … "
As he spoke, the speed of the gray-robed youth did not decrease in the slightest. One after another, the medicinal ingredients were quickly purified within the flame. Looking at his behavior, it seemed that he was also clear from where the source of the problem was during the previous failed attempt.
With a frown, Xiao Yan watched the gray-robed young man who did not hide his wild arrogance before he suddenly smiled coldly. His calm voice echoed similarly in the air above, "Maybe not so …"
Hearing this voice, the gray-robed young man's hands suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan with ice-cold blue-colored eyes. The corner of his mouth twitched, giving an extremely dense mockery.
Ignoring the displeased gaze of the gray-robed young man, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his body around. He waved his hand and the remaining medicinal ingredients were all thrown into the medicinal cauldron. Immediately, he raised his right hand slowly. He pondered for a moment, then a graceful green-colored flame suddenly appeared in front of countless shocked gazes to read the latest free chapter
