The Battle Through Heaven
Lucky Not to Fail Someone's Hope
After the completion of Han Xian's repairs, several private conversations involuntarily sounded inside the stadium.
’’Did that person manage to perfect it?’ ‘Wu Hao was very familiar with fighting, but he had absolutely no idea about refining pills. When he saw Han Xian walking away from the stone table, and handed the medicinal pill in his hand to Elder Hao, his brows inadvertently knit together.
” I don't think so. It is rumored that/that when a tier five medical pill is formed, there will be some unusual phenomenon. However, other than the usual wave of medicinal fragrance earlier, even an unusual phenomenon occurred. Moreover, the expression of that Elder Hao did not seem like someone who had just seen a five-level medicinal pill. ” Xun Er pondered for a moment before shaking her head slightly as she softly spoke.
Wu Hao and the others by the side nodded slightly when they heard Xun Er's analysis. They raised their gazes, and turned their attention towards Xiao Yan, who was still pouring all his attention into refinement. They spoke softly, ” However, even if Han Xian did not manage to fix it, he at least had something to hand over. If Xiao Yan's hand still remained as empty as before, victory would still go to Han Xian even if the two of them ended up failing the repair. ’
’Pray that Xiao Yan ge-ge succeeds in distilling it.’ ’Xun Er laughs bitterly. At this moment, he could only speak in a comforting manner. Xiao Yan did not seem to realize that/that he was being watched attentively by all the gazes in the stadium. His eyes stared intently into the medicinal cauldron. A large glass of pale-red medicinal liquid quickly rolled over on the fiery green flames. Although Xiao Yan was isolated from it by the thick medicinal cauldron, Xiao Yan was still able to clearly sense the overwhelming power contained within this group of liquids through the Spiritual Strength that he had extended into the cauldron.
’’ Completion. Next ... supposedly the merger.. ” Xiao Yan's eyes stared at the pale-red medicinal liquid as he softly muttered in his heart.
Last time, he failed at this point. Therefore, Xiao Yan, who clearly knew the reason for his failure last time, split his Spiritual Strength in half and poured it all into the medicinal cauldron. One of them firmly suppressed the flames while the other wrapped the medicinal liquid in a lightning-like manner. After which, this potion suddenly unleashed an enormous suppressing power.
It seemed that after feeling the pressure around him, the pale red-colored liquid began to fluctuate intensely. Every time it fluctuated, there would be extremely strong ripples swarming around. Eventually, it would collide with a huge invisible hand formed by Spiritual Strength.
’’ Bang! ’’
The medicinal cauldron on the stone table suddenly shook. A clear sound of impact emanated from within.
Xiao Yan's expression also changed slightly as the medicinal cauldron trembled. His feet suddenly stepped on the ground. His hand that was a bit far away from the medicinal cauldron suddenly moved forward and violently grabbed. It was as if it wanted to destroy the air in front of him.
As Xiao Yan's hand tightened its grip, the powerful rolling medicinal liquid in the medicinal cauldron suddenly became sluggish. The invisible huge hand formed from the surrounding Spiritual Strength instantly surged. The originally large group of medicinal liquids was already the size of a ping pong ball at this time. However, the moment it shrank so far, it fell into a strong resistance. No matter what, he refused to move on to the final step.
The flushed redness gradually swarmed onto Xiao Yan's white face under the resistance that did not bind the medicinal liquid. He did not expect that/it ‘Dragon Strength Pill’ was actually difficult to refine. This level of resistance was something that could not even compare to the ‘Three-Lines Green Spirit Pill’. However, Xiao Yan also clearly knew in his heart that/that if he managed to be able to refine the ‘Pill’ Dragon Strength this time around, he would likely be able to advance to tier five alchemist level.
The change in Xiao Yan's expression was also similarly noticed by everyone in the stadium. The previous situation of the medicinal cauldron was also seen by them. Immediately, they lifted their hearts to their throats and their eyes did not blink.
’’Fixing the level of five pills has been this difficult. I really don't know how difficult refining a higher tier medicinal pill would be? ” During that time Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength competed with the power contained in the medicinal liquid, a thought quickly flashed across Xiao Yan's heart. He immediately inhaled a deep breath of hot air. His face was instantly filled with red redness. His right hand facing the medicinal cauldron from a distance slightly opened. After which, it once again trembled like it was slowly gripped. A low and deep cry was emitted from his throat, ’’ Join now! ’’
As his cries fell, Xiao Yan suddenly clenched his hands tightly. After tightening his grip, the ping-pong-sized liquid within the medicinal cauldron suddenly shook. Immediately, it shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just an instant, the medicinal liquid completely disappeared. Replacing it was a pale-red embryo medicinal pill that was the size of a thumb.
With the medicinal pill taking form, the most difficult step had ended. Xiao Yan's forehead was covered with cold sweat as he quickly swallowed a few strands of air. The densified green-colored flame also slowly began to release the hot temperature, roasting the irregularly shaped embryonal medicinal pill.
The current medicinal pill in Xiao Yan's medicinal cauldron was different from the semi-finished product that Han Xian had taken out earlier. That was the actual initial form of the pill. From the outer appearance of this medicinal pill, its initial formation stage might be just as irregular but its luster was completely different from Han Xian's already opaque semi-finished product. If one were to consume a semi-finished product from Han Xian, then, no one would know whether one's strength would surge for a short period of time or whether one's body would be crushed by randomly mixed medicinal ingredients until it exploded and annihilated. This was because no one dared to try and eat it …
This medicinal pill in Xiao Yan's cauldron was probably only in its initial form but it already had some initial medicinal effects from the ‘Dragon Strength Pill.’ If one were to take it at this time, the surge in strength one would definitely not be comparable to a ready-made medicinal pill, but it would at least not be a threat to one's life.
From the appearance of these few points, the winner was actually already determined in this match …
Elder Hao smiled and nodded as he looked at Xiao Yan who was panting in a completely dehydrated manner. He slowly stroked his beard and turned to look at the pale-faced Han Xian's face. From the looks of Han Xian's face, Han Xian clearly understood that/it was only with his semi-finished product that he could not win against the initial form of the medicinal pill that Xiao Yan had refined.
” Ke ke, Han Xian, I'm right, aren't I? ” Elder Hao threw the semi-finished product from Han Xian in his hand as he involuntarily laughed.
The corner of Han Xian's mouth shook. His voice was terrifying as he smiled and said, ” Elder, the competition has yet to reach the end ... in the pill refining procedure, condensing a pill is indeed the most difficult step, indeed, but there are still enough steps that cause people headaches in the back. If Xiao Yan made the slightest mistake during those steps, it was likely that he would waste even the last chance. At that time ... I will at least have a semi-finished product. ’
” In that case, let's keep watching. ” Looking at Han Xian, whose mouth was still strong at this moment, Elder Hao smiled. He did not continue to say any nonsense as he turned his body around and once again threw his gaze towards Xiao Yan.
The green-colored flame seedlings in the medicinal cauldron were repeatedly jumping. The hot temperature caused the medicinal cauldron to be converted into a furnace. The originally formed medicinal pill, whose appearance was slightly irregular, slowly turned into a round shape under this toaster. The sparkle on its surface was also getting brighter. Looking from a distance, it was like a red-colored gem that was emitting a shining light within the green-colored flame.
After the initial condensed pill formed, the remaining steps of roasting, polishing etc were completed perfectly by Xiao Yan. However, such precise control caused the cold sweat on Xiao Yan's forehead to become increasingly concentrated. His face also had additional shoots under his gasping breath. All of this indicated that/it Xiao Yan was quickly reaching his limit.
Han Xian, whose expression had originally gotten worse and worse after Xiao Yan had successfully completed one step after another, revealed a dingindi smile on his face when he saw Xiao Yan's expression. His heart repeatedly cursed Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength into exhaustion.
This curse of Han Xian would naturally not always materialize. Moreover, he also underestimated the tenacity of Xiao Yan. Although the latter's breathing was rapid, the dark black pupils were still clear and not a little shaken by external factors.
Xiao Yan stared at the inside of the medicinal cauldron. A dark-red medicinal pill was partially visible under the green-colored flame seedlings. At this moment, the medicinal pill had already resisted the dazzle earlier. At a glance, it was an ordinary medicinal pill and did not have the slightest outward appearance that stood out from a five-tier medicinal pill.
Xiao Yan's eyes did not blink as he stared at the dark-red medicinal pill. At this moment, the medicinal pill was almost completely round. Xiao Yan clearly knew in his heart that/it's level five of this ‘Dragon Strength Pill’ will form a true pill!
”About!”
During the rotation, there were suddenly circular dark-colored energy ripples that surged out from within the dark-red medicinal pill. Finally, it deeply broke on the inner wall of the medicinal cauldron, emitting a clear sound.
Xiao Yan's face gradually became solemn as he sensed the change from this dark-red medicinal pill. He clearly knew about the chaotic energy created from the formation of the five-tier medicinal pill. Back then, when he flew into the Spacious Tager Desert of the Jia Ma Empire, an abnormal phenomenon like this also appeared when Yao Lao was refining five medicinal pills on the Flying Beast!
”Crack..”
After the clear sound disappeared, there was suddenly an extremely weak calm voice that appeared like thunder in Xiao Yan's ears.
Xiao Yan's eyes shrank. His gaze led to the surface of the medicinal crater, only to realize that/it was a small crack line slowly starting to spread. Immediately, he involuntarily lamented in his heart. How many times did his cauldron explode when he was refining medicinal pills?
”About!”
Other energy ripples were emitted from within the medicinal pill. The crack lines also quickly diverged out, and slowly spread throughout the body of the medicinal cauldron.
The crack line is getting denser. In the end, even the people in the stadium came to find the change of the medicinal cauldron. As they looked at the faint green-colored flame seeping out from the cauldron, everyone gently inhaled a breath of cold air. Some of the female students even involuntarily shut their mouths. Who would have thought that/that at the last moment, there would actually be misfortune that left people speechless.
Elder Hao's expression also changed at this time. He knit his brows tightly while his gaze focused on the medicinal cauldron. A moment later, he raised his eyebrows and noticed the young man behind the medicinal cauldron. The corner of the latter mouth contained a helpless smile.
At this moment, Han Xian's face was initially dumbfounded before a stunned look quickly turned into a haughty smile. This was especially after he heard a clear cracking sound. His smile became much denser after that.
’’ Cra .. ’’
Under everyone's gazes, the crack lines that spread in the medicinal cauldron suddenly stopped slowly. Seeing this, everyone had just heaved a sigh of relief when they once again heard the dark-red medicinal pill inside the medicinal cauldron that released extremely violent energy ripples.
Energy ripples spread out and suddenly made contact with the medicinal cauldron. Finally .... everyone heard a low explosive sound. Pieces of medicinal cauldron flew and shot across the sky …
’Untanya has failed ..’ ’
Elder Hao sighed deeply regretfully as he scanned the area of the stone table where the dim white mist had risen due to the explosion of the cauldron. If Xiao Yan's medicinal cauldron was of a higher level, he had no doubt that/that this person would be able to successfully refine this ‘Dragon Strength Pill’.
’’ Ugh .. ’’
Everyone in the stadium took a deep breath. They feel that/that last failure was futile.
Han Xian was stunned as he watched the cauldron's sudden explosion. A moment later, the corner of Han Xian's mouth flashed with a smile. However, just as he was unable to resist the loud laughter, a coughing sound emanated from within the white mist. The sound of footsteps immediately rang out, and a black-robed young man with a somewhat miserable appearance slowly walked out.
At this moment, there were several black dots on Xiao Yan's face. His black robe was also burned until there was a curl and the holes were charred. Blood repeatedly dripped from his clenched fist. The blood fell to the ground and fell onto the blood flower.
Everyone kept silence when they saw Xiao Yan's current appearance. In their hearts, they feel that/that he does not deserve this.
Han Xian similarly felt somewhat stunned at Xiao Yan's outer appearance. However, he quickly recovered. He stepped forward, shrugged his shoulders at Xiao Yan before smiling and saying, ” Junior Xiao Yan, failure during pill refinement is something common. You shouldn't care about it. All three medicinal formulas .. ’
Xiao Yan faintly glanced at the arrogant smile that was filled with this person's face. He slowly stepped forward and immediately passed through it, not even paying the slightest attention.
Ignoring Xiao Yan caused Han Xian's expression to sink. He spread his hands and muttered, ‘’The one who failed is always like this ..’ As he thought in this way in his heart, he turned his body around with a smile. Immediately after, the smile gradually became dim until it disappeared.
After brushing past Han Xian, Xiao Yan stopped in front of Elder Hao. The latter seemed to be still thinking about how to comfort this young man with incredible potential when Xiao Yan extended his bloodied hand and finally opened it slowly.
The moment Xiao Yan's palm opened, a dark red round medicinal pill, with some blood stains on it, quietly appeared in front of a countless number of shocked gazes!
’Ke Ke, Elder Hao. I'm lucky I didn't fail to live up to your expectations. ’
Xiao Yan held onto his chest and gently coughed. His soft voice slowly echoed throughout the stadium, causing the reverence for the black-robed youth to appear in the hearts of countless numbers of people.
