Grand Spectacle
Shennong Mountain Range, deep within the Medicine Realm.
The Yao Clan Patriarch Yao Dan, the Yao Clan Great Elder Yao Wanhuo, Hun Tiandi, Nihility Devouring Flame, Yan Jin, and Lei Ying all gathered on a mountaintop filled with the fragrance of Medicinal Fragrance.
Yao Dan and Yao Wanhuo looked displeased. Yao Chen was loudly proclaiming that Xiao Yan was going to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill, and that the day he started refining the pill was the same day as the day in the Pill Canon. This was simply a slap in the face to the Yao Clan.
"Is Xiao Yan truly Eight-star Dou Sheng with Emperor Realm Soul?" Yao Dan asked.
"What, do you want me to go through all the embarrassing experiences in detail and explain them to you clearly?" Nihility Devouring Flame said coldly.
Yao Dan was speechless after his defeat, still finding it unbelievable that Xiao Yan had completely surpassed him in just over twenty years.
"The Xiao Clan doesn't have Pill Recipe Ninth Grade Golden Pill, and the Gu Clan only have one. It's even less likely that those Magical Beast races would have Pill Recipe of this level. So why does Xiao Yan dare to spout such nonsense?" Yao Wanhuo asked with a frown, his tone somewhat questioning, as if he were criticizing the Hun Tiandi for his inadequate intelligence.
The Hun Tiandi ignored this weakling and was calculating in his mind whether sacrificing the entire Yao Clan would be enough for the Nihility Devouring Flame to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul.
The Yao Clan only has two Heavenly Realm Great Perfection and a dozen or so Heaven Realm Soul. The number of clan members is not large, so it is probably not enough.
So, the Hun Tiandi shook his head and sighed, "The worst thing in alchemy is being disturbed. Why don't the two Patriarch come with me then?"
With Xiao Yan's current Human Vein, refining Ninth Grade Golden Pill will definitely attract countless Alchemists from the Central Continent to watch, providing a perfect opportunity to start a great battle and harvest the souls of Alchemist.
Relying solely on the Yao Clan isn't enough. We need to harvest some more Alchemist's souls during the great battle, along with the souls of two Eight-star Peak experts, and that should be about enough.
Well, Yan Jin Lei Ying in battle, and the Yao Clan intended to defect to the enemy. My Soul Clan had no choice but to take action with resentment and exterminate the Yao Clan as a warning to others.
"Shouldn't the Gu Clan protect Xiao Yan?" Yan Jin asked with deep concern.
"It's alright. We only need to exchange a couple of blows and use the aftershocks to wipe out those Alchemists 'spectators' who came here because of their reputation. The Gu Clan won't bother protecting them. And if too many people die, what good will it do if Xiao Yan really manages to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill?" The Hun Tiandi smiled gently, but his words sent chills down people's spines.
However, none of the people present had any empathy for the ordinary Alchemist in the Central Continent. After hesitating for a moment, Yan Jin and Lei Ying agreed to Hun Tiandi's proposal.
In the following months, the affiliated sects of the Yao Clan sprang into action, heading to the Shennong Mountain Range to prepare for the participation in the Pill Canon.
While this group of people were taking action, Xiao Yan was enjoying a relaxed and carefree life.
Xiao Yan first helped Queen Medusa emerge from seclusion, using his strength to make her face reality. Then, under her somewhat skillful eye-rolling, he fed Medusa countless doses of inspirational wisdom.
As for the Residual Soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Xiao Yan stripped them of their power and left it to Queen Medusa, sending the Residual Soul into Reincarnation. He then separated a Nihility Devouring Flame as the core and gave it to Queen Medusa to refine.
When Queen Medusa emerges from seclusion again, she should be no weaker than Seven Star Dou Sheng.
Having fulfilled his promise to Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan, with Xiao Xiao on his head and Xiao Qingshan in his hand, wandered around the Beast Region, broadening the horizons of the two little brats and incidentally collecting Medicinal Herbs.
Xiao Qingshan is only a little over a year old. He's such a tiny kid that he doesn't remember anything. When Xiao Yan picks him up and flies around, he just laughs like an idiot, looking completely carefree.
Xiao Xiao was puzzled by this, but seeing that her father and younger brother were very happy, she didn't say anything.
After a period of leisure, Xiao Yan felt refreshed and his Soul Realm seemed to have made another breakthrough.
The path of cultivation requires both tension and relaxation. Having been coveted by the Hun Tiandi for so long, Xiao Yan finally gained the power to protect himself and was able to relax his mind after a long time.
At the same time, after breaking through to the Emperor Realm Soul, Xiao Yan refined the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and part of the Nihility Devouring Flame. His soul had already undergone two transformations, and his accumulation was sufficient. All he lacked was an opportunity.
It was the convergence of many factors that finally allowed Xiao Yan to advance further in his Soul Realm.
"Speaking of which, the Pill Canon should be starting to be published in the next few days, right? I should head to Sacred Pill City soon..."
In the past few months, the Central Continent have once again become turbulent.
When countless Alchemist learned that Xiao Yan, the Pill Gathering Champion, was going to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill and invite Alchemist from all over the world to admire it, they flocked to the Sacred Pill City with red eyes, unwilling to miss the appearance of this peerless Pills.
However, there are too many Alchemists in the Central Continent. Even with only young talents participating in the Pill Gathering, the Sacred Pill City is already extremely crowded. It is simply impossible to accommodate all Alchemist.
Therefore, the Pill Tower can only screen Alchemist, stipulating that only those who have reached the level of Seventh Grade Alchemist are qualified to observe, and each Alchemist can bring a maximum of two people (guards, attendants, apprentices, etc.).
Even so, Sacred Pill City was still packed with people.
The day Xiao Yan began his alchemy practice, much to the anticipation of countless people, finally arrived.
The venue was a vast plaza, and everyone was only allowed to observe from the sidelines and not to set foot on it.
There were seats in the front of the square in all four directions. At this moment, in the eleven seats in the south, ten of the Eleven Elders of the Small Pill Tower and Old Yao were sitting.
The other three directions were completely empty, with not a single person in sight, which puzzled the Alchemist present.
Just then, the ground of the square trembled, and five giant pythons emerged from the ground. The leading python had a total of nine heads!
Although eight of the heads still appeared somewhat illusory, their chilling and menacing aura lingered in everyone's hearts.
Before the crowd could even gasp in amazement, the sky was suddenly torn apart, and a dark Space Rift thousands of feet long slowly appeared above the plaza.
One after another, giant dragons emerged from the Space Rift. The leading dragon was thousands of feet long, with purple-gold scales all over its body and a pair of huge wings that blotted out the sky. For a moment, the entire square was covered in its shadow.
The number of dragons was significantly greater than that of the pythons, and they were also much stronger.
Of the five giant pythons, only two were comparable to true Dou Sheng Expert, while the other three were only comparable to Half-Saint; there were seven giant dragons, each exuding a terrifying aura comparable to Dou Sheng.
As the Magical Beast withdrew their auras and transformed into human form, with the giant python sitting on the west side and the giant dragon on the east side, the Alchemist on the field were immediately excited.
"Those must be the Nine Nether Nether Python and the Ancient Void Dragon, two of the Three Great Beast Races? Xiao Yan is truly terrifying!"
"Nine experts comparable to Dou Sheng! They've all come to witness this ceremony. What an honor!"
Just as everyone was discussing, a suppression originating from the essence of their respective fire sources suddenly came. A bright young girl, surrounded by heart-palpitating Golden Flame, like a goddess descending from heaven to earth, came from the north and landed on her seat.
Behind her were three elderly men with very low profiles. These three men had white hair and beards, and their brows were very kind. They were all a step behind the girl, like attendants.
"Is this Gu Xun'er? The second place winner in the Pill Gathering, second only to Xiao Yan! She's also said to be the young lady of the mysterious Gu Clan! I didn't expect her to be here too."
"What is the strength of those three old men? I can't sense them at all."
"The Gu Clan seem to be even more terrifying than the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"
Another gasp and gasps rang out, and after the three forces arrived and took their seats, a blurry figure finally appeared in the center of the square.
