At this moment, the vast sky is divided into three areas, with Hun Xuzi, Ten Thousand Fires Elder, and Old Man Shennong each occupying one.
The Void Swallowing Flame condensed into a black fire cauldron. Hun Xuzi flashed and appeared on the black fire cauldron. He then sat down cross-legged, and with a wave of his sleeves, countless medicinal herbs flew out from his sleeves, filling the world with a rich medicinal fragrance.
Seeing that Hun Xuzi had already made his move, Ten Thousand Fires Elder in the distance also used the Nine Nether Wind Flame to condense a fire cauldron. At their level, medicine cauldrons were almost dispensable to them, because they could easily use Strange Fire to condense the best quality medicine cauldrons.
Among the three, the most imposing was Old Man Shennong. A sea of green flames, resembling liquid, rapidly spread above his head, and he sat cross-legged within it. With a wave of his sleeves, numerous fragrant medicinal seeds flew out and fell into the sea of fire. To the astonishment of countless onlookers, the seeds quickly sprouted and grew rapidly amidst the blazing flames!
Old Man Shennong, smiled as he watched the rapidly growing medicinal herbs. With a flick of his finger, the sea of fire rippled and quickly condensed into drops of extremely pure green liquid. Within the liquid, faint flames could be seen rising, and a rich life force permeated from it.
These green liquids floated above the heads of many medicinal herbs, then quietly slid down. As the fiery liquid touched them, the herbs seemed to have taken a catalyst, and their growth rate skyrocketed. In just over ten minutes, each seed transformed into a variety of rare medicinal herbs. In an instant, many fresh herbs rose up from the green sea of fire, moving joyfully within it.
As expected of the Flame of Life!
In the square, many alchemists gazed at the flowing alchemy techniques in the sky, their faces filled with fascination and their eyes burning with fervor!
The extraction of these medicinal herbs lasted for about a day. After a day, astonishing energy fluctuations began to spread wildly from the three people's medicine cauldrons!
Suddenly, Hun Xuzi opened his eyes first, throwing the refined medicinal liquid into the fire cauldron. His hand seals changed, and he shouted, "Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command!"
As Hunxuzi shouted, a sudden violent wind blew up between the sky and the earth. The infinite energy of heaven and earth gathered overwhelmingly towards the fire cauldron, and was finally swallowed up by the suction force emitted from it. Such a terrifying devouring, in the end, the energy seemed to have formed a mottled energy storm, roaring crazily in the sky, and was finally swallowed into the fire cauldron...
The sheer scale of the alchemy process puzzled many, as they had never heard of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth during alchemy. This energy was believed to sometimes disrupt the balance of medicinal properties, leading to failure...
However, such thoughts were naturally only held by ordinary people. The elders of the Medicine Clan and some Alchemy Grandmaster were filled with shock at this moment. Even the Yao Dan on the first table had an unusually solemn expression.
"Gathering the power of heaven and earth to refine pills... this technique... he actually intends to refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill!"
The commotion caused by Hun Xuzi was noticed by Ten Thousand Fires Elder and Old Man Shennong.
At that moment, Ten Thousand Fires Elder frowned, let out a cold snort, his hand seals shifted, and he shouted sharply, "Power of Heaven and Earth, condense!"
Upon hearing Ten Thousand Fires Elder's shout, many members of the Medicine Clan were immediately invigorated. Ten Thousand Fires Elder Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill!
"Haha, since you two are so generous, I can't fall behind..." Old Man Shennong laughed loudly upon seeing this, and with a wave of his sleeve, the power of heaven and earth in this area became chaotic again, and streams of powerful energy were pulled into the fire cauldron in front of him.
On the plaza, numerous alchemists gazed at the Energy Storm in the sky that was erupting with thunderous roars. Their hearts were filled with shock. The three of them were actually refining the legendary Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill!
Such a scene is truly a once-in-a-century event!
"All three of them are refining Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill..."
At the head of the table, Yao Dan looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, and his expression became somewhat strange. With his eyesight, how could he not see that the three of them were competing? He was not very clear about the others, but he knew Ten Thousand Fires Elder very well. Although the latter's alchemy skills were not weak, if he wanted to refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, his success rate would probably not exceed 20%.
"If that Old Man Huo really manages to refine a ninth-grade Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill today, your Medicine Clan will be famous from now on!"
Yan Jin, who had been sitting silently beside Yao Dan, suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yao Dan shook his head, saying with a hint of helplessness, "If Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill were so easy to refine, then the quantity wouldn't be so scarce..."
Refining the ninth-grade Xuandan requires absorbing quite terrifying energy of heaven and earth. Although the energy of heaven and earth in the medicine world is extremely rich, it is obviously impossible to support the condensation of three ninth-grade Xuandan. According to his estimation, even if all the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles of the medicine world is absorbed, it is difficult to refine one ninth-grade Xuandan, let alone three at once...
In Yao Dan's mind, none of the three believed that they could successfully refine it. Therefore, in this contest, all three would likely end in a draw.
On the continent, alchemists capable of refining Ninth Grade Treasure Pill are extremely rare. As for Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill Yao Dan, he has never heard of anyone successfully refining them in the last few hundred years.
"A draw, that doesn't seem so bad..."
High in the sky, energy roared wildly, eventually condensing into three enormous tornadoes. At one end of each storm was a fire cauldron, while at the other end, it desperately absorbed the rich energy of heaven and earth, continuously pouring it into the fire cauldron.
Faced with the three people's almost reckless suction, the people around the square also vaguely felt that the Dou Qi in their bodies was about to burst out. At that moment, everyone was filled with horror and panicked. They hurriedly retreated, fearing that the Dou Qi they had worked so hard to cultivate would also be sucked away by the four storms in the sky. If that happened, it would be a huge loss.
This strange phenomenon in the sky lasted for nearly three days. During these three days, no one knew how much energy in this world had been absorbed. The only thing they could feel was that the energy of heaven and earth circulating in the surrounding air had become much thinner.
The medicinal herbs around the square had even turned yellow and withered, their energy being forcibly drained away.
The Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill is already a man-made divine object. The energy required for its formation is terrifying enough to shock many Dou Sheng Experts!
Ancient records state that in ancient times, wherever Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill was born, the land was almost completely desolate for thousands of miles. This was because all the energy of the world was absorbed into the pill. And it was precisely because of this that Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill possessed astonishing intelligence as soon as they were born!
The Medicine Clan people felt a pang of heartache for the withered and yellowed medicinal herbs, but there was nothing they could do...
Some elders of the Medicine Clan took advantage of the opportunity to quickly seal off some of the more valuable medicinal fields; otherwise, once the pill refining was completed, these precious medicinal materials would likely be wasted.
The energy of heaven and earth continued to be absorbed, and the three continued refining pills...
