At Daggers Drawn

With the foreplay over, the truly exciting phase of the Pill Record is just beginning.

In the plaza below, everyone watched the three people in the arena with great interest, including the powerful members of the Yao Clan.

There was no other way; the three people present at this moment represented the strongest tier of alchemists across the entire Dou Qi Continent. To see them compete on the same stage was a once-in-a-century event.

"Hehe, I've long heard that the Pill Record is the gathering of the most outstanding alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. Now that I'm here, the title of the number one alchemist on the continent undoubtedly belongs to my Soul Clan!"

Hun Xuzi's words were extremely arrogant, which made many people wary.

This old monster seems to have come prepared!

"Hmph, the Yao Clan is a clan of alchemists; perhaps it's better for the Yao Clan to keep this top spot..."

The powerful member of the Yao Clan was equally unyielding.

Perhaps his cultivation level is not as high as the other party's, but when it comes to alchemy, the people of the Yao Clan have absolute confidence.

Compared to the confrontation between the two, Elder Shen Nong was much more composed.

Of course, his nonchalant attitude doesn't mean he'll relinquish the title so easily...

Glancing at the arrogant and boundless Hun Xuzi, the Elder Shen Nong stepped forward slightly and said in a deep voice, "Although I have no great desire for such empty titles, it would be a considerable disgrace for us alchemists if the title of the continent's number one alchemist were to fall upon your head..."

Before it even started, the three of them were already on the verge of exchanging blows, which immediately made the crowd below even more excited.

"Heh, since that's the case, let's see who's the real deal!"

Hun Xuzi chuckled coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, 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 within the cauldron.

"Nihility Devouring Flame!"

The Yao Dan at the head of the table narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although at their level, ordinary Heavenly Flames provide little boost, this does not include beings like the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Moreover, the existence of the Nihility Devouring Flame greatly enhances Hun Xuzi's alchemy abilities.

"Hehe, you two, stop hiding your true abilities and let me see what you've got..." Hun Xuzi said with a cold smile as he looked at the remaining two.

The Elder Shen Nong glanced at the black cauldron, his expression unchanged, and said, "In that case, I will make a fool of myself..."

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 moving aura of life.

This is...

The fifth-ranked Heavenly Flame Ranking — the Life Spirit Flame?

The people present were shocked once again.

Compared to the Soul Clan's Nihility Devouring Flame, which many people know about, what surprised them was that this Elder Shen Nong actually possessed the Life Spirit Flame, which ranked fifth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

Apart from Mo Tang, who already knew about this, even Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao Clan, showed surprise.

"I never expected this old guy to have such good fortune!"

The words of the Yao Dan inevitably carried a sense of envy towards the Elder Shen Nong.

There was no other way; for these alchemists, the benefits of the Life Spirit Flame were even more practical than those of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and the Nihility Devouring Flame!

"The Life Spirit Flame..."

A glint of greed flashed in Hun Xuzi's eyes.

Although he possessed the Nihility Devouring Flame, it was merely a Child Flame, and he had previously lost one of his Child Flame in the Demonic Fire Space, which led to punishment from his clan...

If it weren't for the great importance of this Pill Record, the clan would never have given him such a precious Child Flame again.

It should be noted that these Nihility Devouring Flame Child Flame were cultivated by the Soul Clan over the past thousand years with a great deal of effort, and their numbers are limited.

In addition, the loss of several flowers in just over a year has been a strain even for the Soul Clan.

If the Nihility Devouring Flame on his body could devour the opponent's Life Spirit Flame, then Hun Xuzi believed that it would definitely allow his Child Flame Growth Dao to be second only to his original body!

Compared to Hun Xuzi's Nihility Devouring Flame and Elder Shen Nong's Life Spirit Flame, the Yao Clan elder was somewhat inferior.

With a flick of his sleeve, a massive, earthen-yellow fire dragon soared into the sky, instantly stirring up winds and clouds with extraordinary power...

Although the scene was grand, everyone present remained expressionless, and many even frowned.

"Wind Thunder Raging Flame? I didn't expect this Heavenly Flames to be in the hands of the Yao Clan..." Mo Tang was also slightly surprised.

The Wind Thunder Raging Flame are said to originate from the eye of a fiery tornado in an ancient desert.

Unlike other Heavenly Flames, it has no fixed location and appears randomly anywhere in the desert during the hottest days of the year, making it extremely rare.

This fire is a combination of wind and fire. When it appears, it is a huge fire tornado with flames hundreds of meters high. It roars and spins forward like a giant fire dragon, and has extremely strong destructive power.

However, this fire is only ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking...

It's only slightly stronger than the Green Lotus Core Flame. Not to mention the two Heavenly Flames present, it's far inferior to the two lost flames of the Yao Clan.

Thinking about all this, many people were already shaking their heads inwardly.

It seems that the Yao Clan has already been eliminated from this Pill Record...

Such a change naturally did not escape the notice of the Yao Clan. Although they were burning with anger, they were powerless to do anything about it.

It's because the Yao Clan lost all their other Heavenly Flames...

Especially the Nine Nether Wind Flame, which is ranked tenth among the Heavenly Flames, its power is completely incomparable to the Heavenly Flames that follow.

If Yao Wanhuo, who possesses the Nine Nether Wind Flame, were to participate in the Pill Record this time, then the Yao Clan members would believe that there is a 70% chance that the title of the continent's number one alchemist would remain with the Yao Clan.

"If the three of you are well prepared, then please begin the alchemy process."

Seeing that the three had finished demonstrating their abilities, the first-ranked Yao Dan was about to speak loudly.

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance. The Elder Shen Nong and the Yao Clan Elder flew to the other two directions of the square, forming a triangle and each occupying a corner of the square.

"It's starting! It's finally starting!"

Excited eyes converged on the square.

The number one alchemist on the mainland...

No alchemist can remain calm in the face of this title. It is the most prestigious honor in the Medicine Realm.

Mo Tang's gaze remained fixed on the Elder Shen Nong. He was very interested in the Life Spirit Flame and wanted to observe it carefully to see what made it so extraordinary.
