Only three people can truly be considered to have participated in the Medicine Ceremony: Yao Wanhua, Old Man Shennong, and Hun Xuzi.
All three of them were renowned Ninth Grade Alchemist.
The Continent's Number One Alchemist will be chosen from among these three!
"Hehe, now that the appetizers are over, it's time for the main event. I understand what you all are thinking..." Facing the gazes of the assembly, Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, "In this Medicine Ceremony Conference, there are three competitors. And even if I don't say much, you should all know who they are. The final winner will take the title of the Continent's Number One Alchemist. I think that no one will object to the person who emerges victorious and obtains this title..."
"Please enter, gentlemen!"
"Hehe, Patriarch Yao Dan is quite straightforward. I have long heard that the Medicine Ceremony is the gathering of the most outstanding alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. Today, I have come here to ask for your guidance! My Hun Clan is somewhat interested in the title of the Continent's Number One Alchemist, so I would like to take it back."
As soon as Yao Dan finished speaking, Hun Xuzi appeared in mid-air like a ghost, his calm laughter carrying a hint of arrogance.
"Hmph! My Medicine Clan is a great clan specializing in alchemy, and what right does someone who murdered his master have to take this title! In my opinion, it's better for this title of First Alchemist to remain with my Medicine Clan!"
Ten Thousand Fires Elder snorted coldly.
"Heh, I've never considered that old man my master. I was born a member of the Hun Clan, so this so-called crime of patricide is completely fabricated!"
"Let's see who has the best skills!"
Hun Xuzi chuckled lightly. Without saying a word, he waved his sleeve, and black flames surged forth from his body, instantly condensing into a massive black fire cauldron a hundred feet tall in the sky before him. A strange devouring power emanated from the cauldron.
"Void Swallowing Flame?!"
Looking at the fire cauldron formed from black flames, Ten Thousand Fires Elder and Old Man Shennong's eyes narrowed sharply, and they said in deep voices.
"I never imagined that such a Strange Fire would fall into the hands of the Hun Clan..."
Old Man Shennong frowned, his gaze towards the black fire cauldron filled with solemnity. As a senior figure in the Pill Realm, he was naturally well aware of the power of the Void Swallowing Flame.
"Summon the Strange Fire within you all! My Void Swallowing Flame has a great fondness for their taste!"
Hun Xuzi smiled and looked at Ten Thousand Fires Elder and Old Man Shennong, then laughed loudly.
"It's nothing more than a mere Sub-flame."
Huo Xuan, who was reading the Medicine Ceremony not far away, looked at the Void Swallowing Flame summoned by Hun Xuzi with deep disdain in his eyes.
The Void Swallowing Flame is extremely mysterious, and only a very few people can know about it. Even the Child Flame of the Void Swallowing Flame are divided into different levels. Above the many ordinary Child Flame, there are two special sub -Child Flame, known as the Heaven and Earth Sub-flame. The Void Swallowing Flame in Hun Xuzi's hand is the Sub-flame among the Heaven and Earth Sub-flame!
This so-called Sub-flame, in a certain sense, can be considered a nascent form of Void Swallowing Flame, and its power is far beyond that of ordinary Child Flame.
However, although this kind of Sub-flame is quite powerful, if its parent body suffers severe damage, the numerous Child Flame connected to it will still automatically dissipate, transforming into primordial power and merging back into the parent body...
"If you want to devour our Strange Fire, we'll see if you have the ability!"
Ten Thousand Fires Elder let out a cold snort, then waved his sleeve, and a gust of light black wind suddenly roared out from his sleeve. This wind swirled rapidly in mid-air, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was not a wind at all, but a peculiar flame!
That Strange Fire was none other than the Nine Nether Wind Flame!
"Hehe, Old Man Huo, your Nine Nether Wind Flame technique is becoming more and more refined..." Seeing Ten Thousand Fires Elder summon the Strange Fire, Old Man Shennong laughed loudly, lightly tapping the void with his herbal cane, and said with a smile, "In that case, this old man will also make a fool of himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the herbal cane he was holding suddenly burst into flames without any fire. A wisp of green flame, as if it were liquid, slowly rose up and then swelled in the wind. Amidst the green liquid fire, layers of mist rose up, and within that mist, countless strange herbs slowly grew, exuding a life force that moved people.
"This is... the fifth-ranked flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking... the Flame of Life?!"
The Flame of Life ranks fifth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This kind of Strange Fire is extremely strange, because most Strange Fire, although different in form, are all filled with destructive power. However, the Flame of Life does not show strong destructive power. What makes it famous in the world is the life force that it is filled with!
It is said that this Strange Fire spreads out, and as long as the seeds of medicinal herbs are put into it, the seeds will quickly germinate and grow. In other words, with this Strange Fire, there is basically no need to worry about searching for medicinal herbs. As long as you have enough seeds, you can obtain the medicinal herbs you want in a continuous stream. It is truly amazing!
Moreover, this Flame of Life is also known as the Flame of Longevity. Those who obtain it will have a lifespan comparable to that of magical beasts famous for their longevity. However, its only drawback is that this flame is not good at combat and does not significantly enhance combat power.
The name of this Flame of Life was familiar to everyone invited to the Medicine Ceremony, but this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. Its captivating life force and the aroma of it were invigorating.
Hun Xuzi's gaze was also fixed on the Flame of Life in Old Man Shennong's hand, a greedy look flashing in his eyes. In this world, all things have an end to their lifespan. If one could obtain this Flame of Life, one could greatly extend one's lifespan. Such temptation was extremely strong even for someone like him.
"The Flame of Life, a remarkable Strange Fire!"
Huo Xuan stared intently at the liquid-like green flame in the hand of the Old Man Shennong.
To say that one has no desire for this Strange Fire would be a lie.
Among the high-level Strange Fire on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the Void Swallowing Flame is in the Hun Clan, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has been refined by him, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame is in that Demon Flame Space. If he wants to continue refining Strange Fire, then the Flame of Life is an excellent choice!
Unfortunately, Old Man Shennong is neither Han Feng nor the Burning Flame Valley; trying to snatch the Strange Fire from him will be no easy task...
After the prelude to the Medicine Ceremony was over, Yao Tian and Yao Ling had somehow arrived beside Huo Xuan. The siblings noticed the burning intensity in Huo Xuan's eyes and a strange unease rose within them...
"It's actually the Flame of Life! Old Shennong, you're quite fortunate!" Ten Thousand Fires Elder said with a hint of envy.
If this Flame of Life were to take shape, it would possess an exceptionally high level of intelligence. Normally, it would not appear in the form of fire, but would transform into various medicinal herbs and quietly take root in the soil. Sometimes, even if you walked right past it, you would not be able to recognize it. Only those with great fortune would be able to find it from the ground by chance.
"Hehe, just lucky. I found it by chance while searching for medicinal herbs."
The Old Man Shennong stroked his beard and said with a smile. For someone like him who disliked fighting, obtaining such a Strange Fire was truly the most joyful thing.
"If the three of you are well prepared, then please begin refining the elixir..."
The Yao Dan in the first position, seeing that the three were ready, immediately announced in a loud voice.
The real competition among Medicine Ceremony has begun!
