At the Alchemist Guild, a purple-haired old man sat cross-legged, his entire body radiating a blue glow.
The aura erupting from him was clearly a Heaven and Earth Fire.
Once a Heaven and Earth Fire had cultivated to a certain level, it could shed its form and transform into a Dao Body Form. This purple-haired old man was precisely such a being.
He was originally the Lan Jiu Xuan Flame, one of the top hundred Divine Flames of Heaven and Earth.
A thousand years ago, he had shed his form and attained the Dao, then restarted his cultivation path.
Since he had been transformed from a Heaven and Earth Fire and excelled at tempering, he had become a renowned alchemist and artifact refiner throughout the region.
For this Alchemist Competition, he was one of the key judges.
Late at night, Liu Yun tore through the Void from within the inn and silently appeared before the cross-legged, eyes-closed Lan Jiu Xuan Flame.
Liu Yun did not care about any competition. He only wanted to obtain a Heaven and Earth Fire, break through to the Emperor Realm, and leave this world.
Without hesitation, he waved his hand and struck Lan Jiu Xuan Flame.
"What..." Bang!
By the time Lan Jiu Xuan Flame opened his eyes, Liu Yun's attack had already landed on him.
Pfft~
With that heavy blow, Lan Jiu Xuan Flame spat out blood.
He immediately summoned blue flames and counterattacked Liu Yun.
Liu Yun's body shook sharply, and the pressure of a Dou Sheng Peak burst from within him.
"D-Dou Saint?" Lan Jiu Xuan Flame's face filled with terror.
This was a Dou Saint. Back when Lan Jiu Xuan Flame had shed his form and attained the Dao, he had only been a Dou Sect, already among the very best.
