The Battle Through Heaven
Rise Up Once Again
"Hey, so what if you're cured. You want to refine a medicinal pill that exceeds the one in my cauldron for the rest of the time which is half of the allotted time? Ha ha, you have to do things according to your ability. If not, you'll just be a joke to others. Ha ha." Yan Li laughed coldly as he looked at Xiao Yan and mocked him.
Xiao Yan smiled, but ignored his mocking words. With a gentle wave of his hand, a gentle breeze blew the pitch-black soot on the stone table. He flicked his finger gently and a large amount of medicinal ingredients once again filled the stone table.
Xiao Yan's body was as straight as a pen as he stood in front of the stone table. His hands slowly stretched out. After a short silence, green-colored flame seedlings emerged from his body and stuck to the surface of his clothes. Not long after the first wisp of green-colored fire seedlings appeared, clusters of flames began to continuously surge from within Xiao Yan's body. Finally, the green-colored flame completely enveloped Xiao Yan within it. The raging green-colored flame made him a green-colored flame person.
"Is it all ‘Api Heavenly’? How much spiritual power would it take to control so much of this ‘Heavenly Fire’? " All the alchemists on the open ground involuntarily inhaled a breath of cold air as they stared at Xiao Yan, who was almost a fire person, with a stunned look.
As long as the green flame soared on Xiao Yan's body, Little Princess and Liu Ling, who were preparing to take out the pill, were also shaken until they were stunned. Yan Li, who was on the other side might have controlled his expression well, but his eyelids also started twitching at this moment. He could not understand why this youngster could show such an ability that shocked and shocked everyone after suffering such a blow.
"The Spiritual Strength of these little people seems to be much stronger than before." On the high platform, Fa Ma's comforting voice carried envy as he looked at Xiao Yan whose entire body was wrapped in flames, feeling shocked. "He chose the right path early and obtained a breakthrough under pressure. This type of powerful Spiritual Strength was something that even some elders in the association had difficulty comparing to. He got quite a lot this time! "
It was common knowledge that the Spiritual Strength of an alchemist could not be actively trained for a purpose. It could only slowly become stronger over time. Of course, nothing is absolute in this world and there are always exceptions to everything. On this huge Dou Qi continent, there were lucky people who could enter various strange conditions due to their luck. Under such a mysterious condition like this, those lucky ones earned rewards as their Spiritual Strength increased tremendously. Right now, what Xiao Yan showed was very similar to such a condition. Thus, even an alchemist grandmaster like Fa Ma would inevitably have to be a little envious.
"Does he still have a chance of winning?" Hai Bodong stroked his beard and smiled as he asked.
I don't know. Fa Ma shook his head slightly and sighed softly, "I will stick to that line of mine. Everything had to depend on Yan Xiao's performance. Although Yan Xiao's current condition was spectacular, the other party was not a simple person. I'm afraid there will be another very tight and fierce competition. "
He will begin the purification. Hai Bodong slightly nodded as his eyes that were staring at the open ground suddenly brightened.
On the open ground, Xiao Yan, whose entire body was wrapped in flames, slowly raised his hand. A green-colored flame that surged violently out from his finger. Immediately, it was poured into the medicinal cauldron. In just the blink of an eye, the roiling flames had already begun to wriggle and burn within the cauldron.
As he watched the flame within the cauldron, Xiao Yan flicked his finger gently. Several medicinal ingredients on the stone table were skillfully thrown into the medicinal cauldron at the same time. Immediately, a green flame pounced on them, enveloping them and starting to burn and purify them wildly.
This time, Xiao Yan's refinement was clearly much faster than just a moment ago. Moreover, he no longer had any feelings of caution or frightening movements on his limbs as he performed his duties. When he controlled ‘He Heavenly Fire’, he no longer had the slightest doubt. An imposing presence that was relaxed and without coercion vaguely appeared every time he gestured and moved. This kind of presence would usually only appear on highly experienced alchemist grandmasters like Fa Ma.
One by one, the medicinal ingredients were thrown by Xiao Yan. After which, his other hand would control the subtle essence of the ingredients inside the cauldron and store it into the jade bottle. Under the condition where he used his two hands together and unleashed his Spiritual Strength to its peak, the medicinal ingredients placed on the stone table were quickly converted into the essence materials needed to refine the Three Baris‘ Green Spirit ’Pil at a satisfactory speed.
Xiao Yan, who had once again cheered and started refining, had undoubtedly raised the atmosphere of the open ground to *******. Little Princess and Liu Ling, who had put their hopes on after Xiao Yan's previous failure, had performed worse than Yan Li due to their weaker abilities. In a situation like this where everyone would see the other party become the champion of their country before their eyes, the recovery of Xiao Yan, whom everyone had put their greatest hopes before, was not too good, undoubtedly it had caused many people in the audience to sigh in relief. Hence, the countless gazes from the seating areas on both sides of the open ground were currently focused on the human figure on the open ground that was enveloped by green-colored flames. A deafening cheer echoed throughout the place.
"Hgm." Hearing the noisy cheers, Yan Li's dark and cold eyes floated towards the direction Xiao Yan was. He stared at the graceful and refined manner of purification and surprise and earnestness finally flashed in Yan Li's eyes. From the other party's Spiritual Strength suddenly becoming stronger as well as his graceful presence, Yan Li clearly understood that this young man had not only recovered from the blow he had received from his failure, either, and also obtained his breakthrough of mind from such a hopeless situation. This kind of mental strength was truly terrifying.
"This guy has a basis. It's just that I don't know which parent can teach such a student. Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he was much more outstanding than Gu He's disciple. Hey, Pill-King Gu He's reputation isn't entirely true. At least in terms of teaching, he was much inferior to the others. " Yan Li coldly laughed in her heart. He turned his gaze toward the flames blazing in his medicinal cauldron. From the transparent mirror of the medicinal cauldron, he could clearly see that the originally formed medicinal pill revolved within the flame.
"So soon, I'll make it." As he looked at the initial form of the medicinal pill that was about to be completed, Yan Li strengthened his soul. Pride faintly appeared on his gentle face. He definitely had absolute confidence in the medicinal pill he had refined!
Right now, the medicinal pill that Little Princess and Liu Ling had refined was already formed. They beckoned with palms and medicinal pills that were fired from the medicinal cauldron and stored into jade bottles. They stared at the scent of colored pills that repeatedly seeped out from Yan Li's medicinal cauldron and both sighed gently depressed. Immediately, they raised their heads and turned their gazes to the position Xiao Yan was in. Right now, he had become the only one who had the chance to surpass Yan Li.
The question of which side would obtain the champion spot of the Great Meeting of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemists this time around, was up to the ability that Xiao Yan had shown.
However, if anyone could see under the green-colored flame where no one could find what was happening, they would definitely be dumbfounded. This was because, Xiao Yan, who seemed to be in his peak condition for people in the outside world, was currently closing his eyes and frowning slightly. At a glance, it was as if he had descended into a state: half asleep, half awake, mysterious.
Although Xiao Yan's eyes were indeed closed, his senses could clearly see every single event in the outside world even more clearly than his eyes could see. The surge of his Spiritual Strength within the medicinal cauldron had even caused him to be able to clearly see how the medicinal herbs were gradually fragmented and damaged after being burned by the flames, leaving the required type of material essence under high temperature.
Xiao Yan slowly exhaled in his heart. He could clearly sense that refining pills this time was the first time he had not relied on Yao Lao yet displayed his peak and perfection. Under these conditions, Xiao Yan even had the confidence to challenge a tier five alchemist.
None of the medicinal ingredients covered by the green-colored flame were even slightly damaged because the temperature of ‘The Heavenly Fire of’ changed with Xiao Yan's desire. At this moment, he had even managed to control his temperature to be exactly the same as the one recorded in the medicinal formula.
Purification complete. At one instance, the medicinal ingredients on the stone table were finally completely purified. It was then that Xiao Yan slowly opened his tightly shut eyes. His body was silent for a moment before he suddenly waved his sleeve. A force shook and broke all twenty more jade bottles in front of him. After which, a formless power sucked up the essence ingredients within it and threw everything into the medicinal cauldron. The flame once again became turbulent at this moment.
This time, the time it took Xiao Yan to refine his ingredients had reduced by almost half compared to the last time.
Green flames wriggled within the medicinal cauldron. Twenty more essence materials were completely wrapped within Xiao Yan Spiritual Strength and slowly combined.
Like flowing water, time passed quietly. Currently, it only remained less than an hour until the exam time was about to end. On the other hand, the scent of colored pills emitted from Yan Li's medicinal cauldron grew richer. The medicinal pill that he refined would clearly be formed!
"The Three-Line Green Spirit Pill will be successful soon."
Fa Ma was staring intently at the open ground when he suddenly said softly at a certain moment. However, his face did not show any relaxed impression. He knew that it was impossible to defeat Yan Li just by relying on an ordinary Three Row Green Spirit Pill!
The medicinal cauldron on the open ground where the rolling green flames suddenly became silent. The faint pill fragrance scattered and the emerald-like green-colored round medicinal pill repeatedly revolved within the cauldron.
As the medicinal pill rotated, the green-colored flame covering the surface of Xiao Yan's body suddenly began to rapidly shrink. In the blink of an eye, the green-colored flame began to pull itself onto Xiao Yan's body like a tide. By the time the green flames inside the cauldron were about to be completely withdrawn, Xiao Yan's chewing mouth suddenly opened. The purple-colored flame once again gushed out violently before being poured into the medicinal cauldron.
Fa Ma's heart suddenly lifted as he saw Xiao Yan once again spitting out Purple Flame. His eyes stared intently at the direction where Xiao Yan was.
If Xiao Yan once again failed this time around, the champion position would really miss him. At the same time, the reputation of the Alchemist Association would be damaged due to this.
