Ninth Grade Profound Pill

The sea of green flames above Elder Shen Nong's head, which resembled liquid, spread rapidly.

His figure was sitting cross-legged in the sea of fire. With a wave of his sleeves, many fragrant medicinal seeds flew out and finally fell into the sea of fire.

In an instant, those seeds sprouted rapidly amidst countless astonished gazes, and then grew quickly amidst the raging flames...

The crowd in the square immediately erupted in commotion.

Although 90% of the people present already knew about the Life Spirit Flame, they still found it incredibly amazing when they saw it with their own eyes.

Mo Tang, sitting at the head of the table, twitched his ears slightly as he heard a faint sigh from Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao Clan, a sigh filled with deep envy.

There's no way around it; the Life Spirit Flame is just too perfect for alchemists. If the Yao Clan could obtain it, their overall strength would probably increase by 30% within a hundred years!

The Elder Shen Nong smiled as he watched the rapidly growing medicinal herbs, oblivious to the envious expressions of the crowd. With a flick of his finger, the emerald sea of fire rippled, then swiftly condensed into drops of extremely pure green liquid...

Within that liquid seed, faint flames could be seen rising, and a rich life force couldn't help but seep out from within.

These green liquids floated above the heads of many medicinal herbs, then quietly slid down. As the herbs were touched by these fiery liquids, their growth rate increased dramatically, as if they had taken a catalyst!

In just over ten minutes, the medicinal seeds had transformed into various rare medicinal herbs. In an instant, many fresh herbs rose from the green sea of fire, dancing joyfully within it.

On the other side, Hun Xuzi and the elder of the Yao Clan also saw this scene, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.

Unfortunately, their alchemy had already begun, and they couldn't afford to relax even for a moment. So, although the two were quite shocked by the Life Spirit Flame, they quickly adjusted their mindset.

Sitting at the head of the table, Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect the Life Spirit Flame to be so miraculous. It seems that without the Protagonist's halo, the title of the continent's number one alchemist in this Pill Record will likely fall to Elder Shen Nong..."

Of the three present, Hun Xuzi and the old man from the Yao Clan already had their own identities, so it was useless for Mo Tang to have any ideas. But this Elder Shen Nong was different!

This is a true free agent with no powerful background. If we can bring him into the Four Directions Alliance, the alliance's alchemy level will instantly reach a level comparable to that of the Yao Clan.

Moreover, with his presence, Mo Tang can better cultivate those around him...

Although his screen time was pitifully short, Mo Tang did not forget that besides the women around him, he also had a disciple who cultivated with Feng Qing'er at the Wind Thunder Pavilion.

After we leave the Dou Qi Continent, everything in this world will definitely be handed over to my adopted disciple, so her training should be put on the agenda.

"Elder Shen Nong, and apart from his pursuit of alchemy, there was probably nothing else that could attract him..."

Thinking about all this, Mo Tang also felt a bit of a headache.

With the resources I currently have, I simply can't offer any terms to recruit them...

Let alone their Four Directions Alliance, I'm afraid there isn't a single force in the entire Dou Qi Continent that can offer something that would tempt this Grandmaster Alchemist.

"Am I going to have to use the Origin Qi as a trump card again...?" Mo Tang thought to himself.

There was no other way; it seemed that this was the only condition he had that could tempt the other party. Even the Bodhi Ancient Tree, a divine object of heaven and earth that had existed for countless years, could not escape the allure of Origin Qi! Of course, no one else knew what Mo Tang was thinking.

At this moment, the competition in the arena had already entered a high-level climax from the very beginning.

Three Heavenly Flames, and medicinal herbs as boundless as the ocean—such a magnificent sight drove all the alchemists present into a frenzy.

Just as everyone was astonished by Elder Shen Nong's Life Spirit Flame, Hun Xuzi opened his eyes, poured numerous refined medicinal liquids into the fire cauldron, then changed his hand seals and shouted, "Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command..."

As Hun Xuzi's shout faded, a sudden gale arose across the land...

Boundless energy from heaven and earth converged upon the pitch-black cauldron, only to be swallowed up by its suction force!

Under this terrifying devouring, in the end, the energy formed a mottled energy storm, roaring wildly in the sky, before being completely swallowed into the cauldron of fire...

Such a terrifying display of alchemy immediately made many people secretly swallow hard.

They were all experts in their field, yet they had never heard of needing to absorb the energy of heaven and earth when refining pills...

Even beginners in alchemy know that this uncontrolled energy of heaven and earth can sometimes disrupt the balance between medicinal properties, directly leading to the failure of alchemy!

However, only ordinary people would have such thoughts.

The elders of the Yao Clan and some of the alchemy masters were filled with boundless horror the moment they witnessed this scene...

Even Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao Clan who sat at the head of the table alongside Mo Tang, had an unusually solemn expression.

"He's using the power of heaven and earth to refine pills—he actually intends to refine a Profound Pill with this method!"

The heavy voice made Mo Tang turn his head involuntarily.

"Ninth Grade Profound Pill? Does this Hun Xuzi really have such great abilities?"

Yao Dan shook his head with a serious expression and said, "I can't be sure either, but judging from his technique, that's certainly the case."

Even Mo Tang's expression turned serious.

Ninth Grade Profound Pill...

Currently, none of the Ninth-grade Pill appearing on the mainland can reach this level; the only one is the current Pill Tower Ancestor.

Although the birth of the Pill Tower Ancestor was due to various coincidences, he still did not reach the level of Xuan Dan at the beginning of his cultivation. He was able to complete the transformation only through countless years of accumulation.

"Patriarch Yao Dan, in your opinion, what are the chances of successfully refining this Hun Xuzi?" Mo Tang couldn't help but ask.

Yao Dan lowered his head and frowned, pondering for a long time before speaking, "Under normal circumstances, I believe that Hun Xuzi would probably have less than a 10% chance of refining Ninth Grade Profound Pill."

But the other party dared to refine it in front of the whole world, so they must have a lot of confidence, or they must have some tricks up their sleeve that we don't know about.

Therefore, even I, an old man, cannot be certain of anything...
