• Xiao Yan drew the gray Flames of the Heavenly Flame Planet into the Flame Seed, endured the refining process, and absorbed their energy while the Fire Realm shook.

Xiao Yan and Cao Zi competed to refine a Returning Spirit Venerable Pill on Fire God Mountain, with Xiao Yan using unfamiliar Great Thousand World techniques and Cao Zi relying on the Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie’s methods. Cao Zi completed his pill first and withstood three bolts of Black God Lightning, leaving its quality praised as higher than the pill’s usual grade.

• Xiao Yan examined the Fire God Mountain Cauldron’s Spirit Arrays while spectators doubted his alchemy experience, and he had Xiao Yi Xian add all the medicinal ingredients at once.
• Xiao Yan slowly extracted the ingredients with the furnace’s weak Spiritual Energy Flame as Cao Zi finished his extraction first and prepared his Blood Spirit Liquid.
• Cao Zi poured Blood Spirit Liquid into his furnace, suppressed its fierce Spiritual Beast force with his alchemy furnace and Fire Tree Hundred Herbs Body, and drew energy from heaven and earth to form his pill.
• Cao Zi’s pill released medicinal fragrance across the area and drew a Black God Lightning cloud over Fire God Mountain.
• Cao Zi blocked three bolts of Black God Lightning, completing a Third Grade-quality pill that spectators said surpassed the Returning Spirit Venerable Pill’s usual Second Grade.

Cao Zi completed a high-quality pill that earned Mu Chen’s praise, but Xiao Yan’s unfamiliar alchemy technique stunned the audience as he refined his own pill. Zhu Ku recognized that Xiao Yan’s methods resembled those of a legendary alchemist from a mysterious Lower Plane, and the chapter ended with Xiao Yan feeding an entire thundercloud of Pill Lightning into his forming pill.
