The Beginning

"It actually succeeded...!"

As they received the pill, everyone's hearts trembled slightly.

The result was completely unexpected.

Countless granules rained down, landing on the plaza with a crisp, rain-like sound. Although these granules weren't exactly medicinal pills, they were condensed from pure energy, and consuming them would have considerable benefits for the human body.

"Hahaha, do you see that? The number one alchemist on the continent is mine!" Hun Xuzi laughed wildly.

Of course, the emergence of the Xuan Dan is not that simple.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderclouds rolled across the sky.

At this moment, the pitch-black cauldron in front of Hun Xuzi trembled violently, and then a beam of light shot into the sky. Within that beam of light, a ball of light resembling an egg could be faintly seen.

The enormous pillar of light pierced directly into the thundercloud in full view of everyone. Instantly, the thundercloud churned violently, and bolts of black lightning, like roaring black pythons, densely coiled around the pillar of light before slamming into the light cluster of embryos within it.

"Boom boom boom..."

Under such earth-shattering bombardment, even the entire Medicine Mountain trembled, and deafening roars echoed incessantly.

"It's begun..." Mo Tang squinted at the Black Demon Thunder descending from the sky and murmured to himself.

Even a high-grade seventh-rank pill can attract heavenly lightning, let alone a Ninth Grade Profound Pill ...

This pitch-black lightning was even more terrifying than the lightning creatures that Mo Tang had encountered in the Void Thunder Pool!

At this moment, even Hun Xuzi looked at the egg embryo being bombarded by lightning with a somewhat tense expression. Only after passing the test of heavenly lightning could it break out of the womb. Outsiders could not help with this matter. Even he, the pill refiner, could only choose to watch from the sidelines.

This is somewhat different from the refining of other elixirs, because other elixirs can be artificially prepared to resist heavenly lightning...

Under the tense gaze of countless eyes, the light cluster within the pillar of light not only did not shatter, but instead shone even brighter, with wisps of black lightning constantly flashing on the egg.

"This is..." Hun Xuzi unconsciously clenched his fists, and a look of surprise appeared on his aged face.

"It is about to be born..." Elder Shen Nong, said with a complicated expression.

On the one hand, witnessing the birth of Ninth Grade Profound Pill with his own eyes is beneficial to improving his own alchemy skills, and it can also provide him with experience in alchemy in the future.

On the other hand, the fact that it wasn't him who refined the Ninth Grade Profound Pill made the Elder Shen Nong had spent his life pursuing the ultimate in alchemy, feel extremely disappointed.

Finally...

After the final bolt of Black Demon Thunder struck the embryo, the embryo, which was already covered with countless cracks, finally reached its limit...

Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded!

The instant the embryo exploded, an astonishing medicinal fragrance filled the sky, swirling and coalescing into various herbs, spreading across the sky in a truly bizarre way.

"It really is Ninth Grade Profound Pill! He actually succeeded!"

The elder from the Yao Clan, one of the three participants, said with an incredulous expression.

"Yes, it's a success..." Elder Shen Nong, chuckled self-deprecatingly, turned around, and took a step, arriving in the square from the sky.

Grade 8 Pill can already manifest in beast form, while Ninth Grade Profound Pill can even transform into human form.

Seeing that the Ninth Grade Profound Pill, which was trying to escape in the sky, actually transformed into a girl after being intercepted by Hun Xuzi, and that the girl was dressed in clean clothes, many people were stunned.

Mo Tang watched this scene with great interest. "As expected of Ninth Grade Profound Pill, if it weren't for the overwhelming fragrance of the pill, it would be really hard to tell whether she's a person or a medicinal pill..."

Yao Dan watched this scene with a calm expression. After listening to Mo Tang's words, he said, "Hehe, Mo Alliance, you don't know. This Xuan Dan is currently being made because it is newly refined and cannot control its own energy. That's why it's exuding a strong fragrance, making it easy for people to identify."

But given time, it probably won't take more than a few years for it to completely conceal its divine abilities. Once it integrates into human society, even ordinary Dou Sheng Expert probably won't be able to recognize its true form..."

Mo Tang nodded, indicating his agreement with Yao Dan's words.

This has happened before, so it's not surprising.

However, those who can refine Ninth Grade Profound Pill are all super strong, so these Xuan Dan have no chance of escaping.

Although this Xuan Dan is very clever, she actually knows how to use the weaknesses of human nature to disguise herself as a weak girl. But among the people present, who is the kind of person who would be dominated by lust and kindness?

Especially for an old monster like Hun Xuzi, whose heart was as hard as steel, he directly grabbed with a huge hand that covered the sky. Amidst the wails of countless wronged souls, the spiritual essence of Xuan Dan was sealed and transformed into a pitch-black pill the size of a longan.

"Hehe, Patriarch Yao Dan, isn't it time to announce who is the number one alchemist on the continent?" Hun Xuzi put away the Ninth Grade Profound Pill and looked at Yao Dan with a mocking expression.

Yao Dan stood up expressionlessly, coldly staring at Hun Xuzi, unmoved by the latter's provocation, and calmly said, "The champion of this Pill Record, Hun Xuzi of the Soul Clan."

The announcement of the Yao Dan caused another uproar below.

Some cursed angrily, some were shocked, and some remained indifferent...

Whether you accept it or not, the outcome is already determined and cannot be changed.

Hun Xuzi stood high in the sky, looking down at the ants below, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on the two people at the head of the table.

For this Pill Record, the real show is about to begin...

Upon seeing Mo Tang sitting alongside Yao Dan, Hun Xuzi's eyes revealed a chilling killing intent. This was the same person who, in the previous Demonic Fire Space, not only completely ruined his plan to seize the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but also stole one of his precious Ninth Grade Treasure Pill!

Now, it's time to get everything back a hundredfold or a thousandfold!

"Clan Chief Yao Dan, now that I have won the championship in this Pill Record, I have a favor to ask of Yao Dan."

Upon hearing Hun Xuzi's sudden request, Yao Dan's heart sank.

That old bastard, looks like he's up to no good...

"Oh? Then tell us first..."

Faced with so many powerful figures from the continent, Yao Dan naturally could not show weakness, and considering his previous preparations, he would not show weakness to the Soul Clan either.

"Hehe, Patriarch Yao Dan, rest assured, what I'm talking about is nothing major. I just want to temporarily borrow the Tou She Ancient God Jade from the Yao Clan. Is that alright?"
