Prosperous Fire Shows Its Might
After withdrawing his gaze, Master Huan's expression immediately hardened, and his Soul Power spread out from between his eyebrows, merging into the white flame in his palm.
Under the manipulation of the Master Huan, the Sky Cold Flame transformed into a white python and darted into the Silver Flame.
The Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire reacted immediately, with nine silver Fire Dragon surrounding the Fire Python before launching an attack.
Fortunately, Sky Cold Flame was quite extraordinary, and under Master Huan's control, he barely managed to hold on for ten minutes.
As for the other guest elder, his flames were not strong enough, and he failed after seven minutes.
Seeing that he was the only one left, Gu He summoned a ball of blue flame, and with the surge of his Soul Power, he transformed it into a blue lotus flower.
The previously calm Silver Flame suddenly went berserk. The nine silver Fire Dragon seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, and each of them wanted to rush forward and tear the Green Lotus Core Flame apart!
"Green Lotus Core Flame?" Tang Zhen suppressed the unusual movement of the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and asked in surprise.
"It's not the Green Lotus Core Flame, but merely a Prosperous Fire cultivated Nong Yan Jue," Gu He said with a proud smile, explaining in detail:
"My teacher once gave me a seed of Earth Fire Lotus Seed. After refining it, I obtained the Green Lotus Fire, which is roughly equivalent to the sub-flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame Sub-flame."
"Later, I cultivated the Nong Yan Jue, fused the Green Lotus Fire with two similar Eighth-tier Beast Flame, and with the Earth Core Pearl bestowed upon me by my master, this Green Lotus Prosperous Fire was finally formed."
"Of course, compared to the true Green Lotus Core Flame, my Azure Green Lotus Prosperous Fire is no less impressive."
After the introduction, Gu He looked at Master Huan and said, "The Sky Cold Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame are somewhat similar. If two similar Beast Flame are added and nurtured, it will definitely be able to advance further."
"At that time, even if it can't compare to the real Bone Spirit Cold Flame, it will be comparable to some of the lower-ranked Heavenly Flames."
Master Huan's eyes lit up, and he quickly took over the conversation. "I had heard rumors before that the Prosperous Fire was comparable to the Heavenly Flames, but I had never seen it and always found it hard to believe. Seeing it today, it is indeed true to its reputation, and I have been ignorant. Now that this matter is over, I will inevitably have to bother Master Gu. I hope Master Gu will not take offense."
The other Alchemist couldn't sit still either, especially another guest elder of the Pill Tower. His Beast Flame was just that of an ordinary Eighth Grade Magical Beast Flame, which was inferior to the beast fire of those Seventh Grade Magical Beast Flame with special bloodlines. Now, seeing the power of this Prosperous Fire, his eyes turned red.
"Hehe, everyone, there's no need to be impatient. The elders of the Ye Family each have a Prosperous Fire, and each of them has rich experience and is also Alchemist. Everyone can go and ask for a flame," Gu He said with a smile.
Xiao Yan nodded. This disciple was self-taught and indeed had talent.
Although the Ye Family is one of the Pill Tower Five Great Families, it has been at the bottom for years. It is obvious to everyone that the Ye Family will eventually fall apart. There are alchemy families outside the Pill Tower who want to take its place, and the Cao Family inside the Pill Tower wants to annex it.
Therefore, it would be quite difficult for the Ye Family to promote the Prosperous Fire on their own.
So, Xiao Yan added fuel to the fire.
"The Ye Family originally possessed the Yang Huo Ancient Altar, which combines the power of earth fire and sunlight to form Yang Fire. That earth fire is similar in nature to the Green Lotus Core Flame."
"I set up Formation there to cultivate the Green Lotus Core Flame. If all goes well, the Green Lotus Core Flame will emerge from the array in the next few years. At that time, everyone can try to extract some of the Sub-flame and integrate them into the Prosperous Fire to improve the quality of the flame."
"Hehe, please remind me when the time comes, I'll definitely be there!" Tang Zhen immediately interjected.
"That's natural."
"Then let me see the power of this Green Lotus Prosperous Fire! Master Gu, please!"
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, he stopped suppressing the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and allowed it to unleash its Dragon Might, pressing down on the Green Lotus in Gu He's hand.
Gu He smiled slightly, and with a flick of his hand, the Green Lotus infused with Soul Power fell into the Silver Flame.
Unlike the previous situation where she was merely struggling to hold on and buy time, although the Azure Green Lotus also lost petals under the attacks of the silver dragons, the energy it emitted was also retaliating against the silver dragons, causing explosions inside the flames.
If Tang Zhen hadn't used his own Five-Star Dou Zun cultivation to suppress it, this ball of flame would probably have exploded on the spot.
The two distinct flames fought fiercely for ten minutes. Although Green Lotus was suppressed by the silver dragon, she never stopped resisting. It would probably take a long time to determine a winner.
Gu He calmly withdrew the Green Lotus. Thanks to the high quality of the flame, the ten-minute confrontation was not a big burden for him.
"This Prosperous Fire is truly powerful," Tang Zhen remarked, withdrawing his Silver Flame.
"Then, I would like to invite Master Gu and Master Huan to join me in refining the medicine. If the other masters are interested, they may watch from the sidelines. How does that sound?"
Although Tang Zhen's words were directed at everyone present, his gaze was fixed on Xiao Yan beside him. Clearly, it didn't matter whether the others went or not; only Xiao Yan was the most important.
"Then I'll take a look at how Gu He's alchemy skills are doing now," Xiao Yan said casually.
"I will definitely not let my teacher down!"
Next, Gu He and Master Huan discussed the reward with Tang Zhen. Gu He wanted the Earth Core Pearl, while Master Huan wanted the Ice Attribute Beast Flame.
After agreeing on the payment, the group went to a platform and officially began refining the medicine.
After assigning tasks, Tang Zhen took out two silver pills and two portions of the Fire Bodhi Pill formula, handing them to Gu He and Master Huan. Then, they each performed their respective duties in refining the pills.
Tang Zhen was in charge of the most basic extraction of Medicinal Herbs, while Gu He and Master Huan were responsible for blending the powdered and liquid medicines that Tang Zhen had extracted together.
The tedious process made Xiao Yan's scalp tingle, and he couldn't understand the purpose of Tang Zhen's existence at all.
Admittedly, Tang Zhen is skilled at quickly refining Medicinal Herbs, and the powders and liquids he produces are extremely pure, which plays a significant role in their effectiveness.
However, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire put considerable pressure on the two professional Alchemist, causing them to consume more energy than when refining Medicinal Herbs themselves, and making the fusion of medicinal liquids even more difficult.
Tang Zhen seemed quite proud of his ability to refine Medicinal Herbs, manipulating the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire into nine silver dragons to simultaneously refine nine portions of Medicinal Herbs, completely disregarding the rhythm of the other two, leaving the two Alchemists to have to cooperate with this novice.
Alchemist would naturally cooperate; they would proactively adjust their speed to keep pace with the others. However, Tang Zhen's actions might suggest he wanted a quick victory, allowing the other two to endure less pressure.
As a result, the other two Alchemist continued to cooperate, making the medicine faster and faster, but their techniques became rougher.
Having figured all this out, Xiao Yan gradually put on a mask of pain, then closed his eyes and decided to clear his mind.
