At the Medicine Canon gathering, Hun Xuzi, Elder Wan Huo, and Shen Nong Lao Ren challenged one another for the title of the continent’s number one alchemist.

• Hun Xuzi gathered the power of heaven and earth into his black fire cauldron, shocking Yao Dan and the other experts with his attempt to refine a Ninth-grade Profound Pill.

Shen Nong Lao Ren, Hun Xuzi, Elder Wan Huo, and Cao Ying each tried to refine a Ninth-grade Profound Pill, draining the energy around Medicine Mountain. After three days, the available energy was exhausted, leaving their pill embryos only half complete and their attempts in doubt.

• Elder Wan Huo, Shen Nong Lao Ren, and Cao Ying joined Hun Xuzi in absorbing heaven and earth energy to refine Ninth-grade Profound Pills, while Xue Mei continued fusing medicinal essences for a Nine-Rank Treasure Pill.
• Yao Dan judged that the four alchemists would likely fail because the region could not provide enough energy for four Ninth-grade Profound Pills.
• The four alchemists' cauldrons drew energy for nearly three days, causing nearby medicinal herbs to wither as Yao Clan elders sealed precious fields.
• The four tornadoes dispersed after the energy within ten thousand li had been absorbed, leaving the pill embryos half complete and the alchemists without enough energy to continue.

Hun Xuzi stole energy from Shen Nong Lao Ren, Elder Wan Huo, and Cao Ying to advance his pill, but Cao Ying's Flame Lion recovered her energy and then stole Hun Xuzi's unfinished pill embryo. Hun Xuzi flew into a rage as the Flame Lion returned the embryo to Cao Ying.

• Cao Ying refined the Ninth-grade Profound Pill, drawing dark clouds and destructive Pill Lightning as medicinal beads fell like rain.
• Yao Dan recognized the Pill Rain as a sign that the Profound Pill had emerged, and Cao Ying confirmed her success.

Cao Ying watched the Ninth-grade Profound Pill endure its lightning tribulation and emerge from its shell. The pill tried to flee Medicine Mountain, but Lu Chuan’s warning stopped the onlookers from pursuing it.

Shen Nong Lao Ren gave Lu Chuan the Flame of Life, and Lu Chuan appeared to shield it from Nihility Devouring Flame’s attack.
