Why Are You Blowing Things Up When I Told You to Refine Pills?

"The oven's going to explode!"

Xiao Yuan and the others in the stands also noticed something, and their expressions changed accordingly.

Fa Ma and the others felt a chill in their hearts. They hadn't expected that Xiao Yan's side, which had been in the lead, would suffer a loss because of such a small problem.

The terrifying temperature of the Heavenly Flames is something that ordinary medicine cauldrons simply cannot withstand. However, Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron is only a second-tier cauldron. Since obtaining the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan has basically been using this medicine cauldron to refine medicine with the Heavenly Flames. In the past, the pills he refined were of a lower grade and required a lower temperature, so naturally, this problem did not occur.

However, nowadays, to refine Tier 4 Pill, the temperature required to extract the essence from the Medicinal Herbs is several times that of Second Grade Pill, which has long exceeded the limits of the cauldron. It is only a matter of time before it cracks. Normally, all that is needed is to stop refining and replace the cauldron.

However, this is an assessment competition, and according to the rules of the final round of assessment, the Alchemist Guild will not provide Xiao Yan with any assistance.

Xiao Yuan was also slightly surprised by this. Although he knew that this lousy medicine cauldron might explode, Xiao Yuan habitually felt that this would happen at the last moment after the refining was successful, so he did not remind Xiao Yan in advance.

The first rune has just been completed and is about to explode. How will Xiao Yan deal with the next two runes? After a moment of thought, Xiao Yuan looked at Fa Ma and asked in a deep voice:

"Guild Master Fa Ma, I know that the Alchemist Guild cannot provide assistance to the contestants. I wonder if people outside the Alchemist Guild can provide off-site assistance to the contestants?"

Upon hearing this, Fa Ma paused for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, "The rules don't say it's forbidden, but it could easily lead to other problems. If possible, it's best not to. Even if you want to provide a medicine cauldron, it has to be inspected by the competition organizing committee, but time is extremely precious right now, I'm afraid..."

Seeing Xiao Yuan's brows furrow even more upon hearing his words, Fa Ma quickly added meaningfully, "Unless, Xiao Yan himself has another medicine cauldron."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes.

The meaning is quite clear: secretly sending a medicine cauldron is also within the rules.

"Teacher, what should we do?"

Xiao Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe, don't panic. Xiao Yan has good Yao Tian. Let's see how he plans to deal with this first!"

Yao Lao's voice was quite calm, as if he wasn't worried at all that Xiao Yan would lose.

"Could it be that Teacher wants to test Xiao Yan and let him reach the realm of 'Palm Cauldron '? But wouldn't that be a bit too much to ask of him?"

Xiao Yuan asked in confusion.

"Hehe, with his current soul power, it's impossible for him to reach that level. However, the refining process is already complete. What's needed next is the step of transforming the flames into Pill Pattern. And as long as Xiao Yan masters the transformation of the flames, it's entirely possible to complete these steps without a cauldron!"

The Yao Lao's faint laughter slowly rang out, which made Xiao Yuan, who was still a little anxious, relax.

If that's the case, he could potentially pull off a scheme in secret.

At this moment, looking at the cracked medicine cauldron, the Gray-robed Man laughed sarcastically, "The medicine cauldron is about to explode, let's see what you can still refine!"

"So noisy!"

Xiao Yan glanced at the Gray-robed Man, knowing that he had no other choice at this point, so he slapped the bottom of the medicine cauldron, shattering it into pieces. A wisp of green flame carrying the pill shot straight into the sky.

This was his previous Pill Method, but instead of collecting it directly, he reached out and scooped the azure flame into his right palm to continue refining it.

The Yao Lao had mentioned the so-called method of Palm Cauldron to him long ago.

He knew, of course, that his soul power was insufficient to do so, but he also knew that while this final step was important, it did not necessarily require the use of the medicine cauldron.

Just as the Yao Lao said, the final step, as long as the transformation of the flame is mastered, could potentially allow the pill to be refined in a way that would shock everyone! Regardless of whether it would succeed, he wanted to try! Immediately afterward, Xiao Yuan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Xiao Yan, don't worry about refining it. Although you're not familiar with my Heavenly Flames, you can use it without worry. I'll lend you a hand."

As the voice faded, a warm sensation emerged from Xiao Yan's left index finger.

Feeling the warmth, Xiao Yan's eyes brightened, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he raised his left hand.

The warm, black and white ring suddenly shattered, and a ball of black and white flame, compressed to its limit, burst out and danced in Xiao Yan's palm, emitting an invisible wave. The terrifying heat scorched and distorted the surrounding air.

This strange sight immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"My God, it's another Heavenly Flames!"

"How could one person possess two Heavenly Flames?"

Some elders of the Alchemist Guild couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and doubt.

Jia Xingtian saw the familiar black and white flames, his eyes twitched slightly. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan, who was standing not far away with his eyes slightly lowered.

He's very familiar with this Heavenly Flames!

The Nalan Jie three also turned their gazes to Xiao Yuan, as they naturally knew that this Heavenly Flames belonged to Xiao Yuan.

Hai Bodong keenly noticed that Xiao Yuan's fingers seemed to be twitching slightly, so he immediately walked over and calmly blocked some of the gazes that could see Xiao Yuan's unusual movement.

"Thanks, Hai Lao!"

Xiao Yuan didn't even look up, and said with a light laugh.

He had already asked Ya Fei for help on the other side, and he originally wanted to ask his father Xiao Zhan for help on this side, but Hai Lao acted a step faster.

With Hai Bodong's help, Xiao Yuan was able to unleash his full potential. He tapped his fingertips repeatedly, and the Yin Yang Dual Flames in Xiao Yan's hands gradually cooled down.

As the burning sensation in his palm disappeared, a strange light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. In his perception, the temperature of the Yin Yang Dual Flames was now the same as that of the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame, which was being used to refine the Qing Ling Pill Spirit Pill!

"The pill cannot come into contact with air, so you must fuse a portion of the two Heavenly Flames before you can transfer the pill over. My Heavenly Flames is special and can be controlled remotely, but the control is limited. How to Fused Heavenly Flame later is entirely up to you. Your Flame Mantra can devour Heavenly Flames and evolve, so it may be able to help you balance the violence when the two Heavenly Flames fuse. From now on, it's up to you!"

After sending another message, Xiao Yuan was quite tired. Controlling the Heavenly Flames that had left his body and had been refined by Yao Lao without using his soul power was too mentally taxing.

But this is already beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Even the Yao Lao could not control the Heavenly Flames that had already left his body without using his soul power.

Xiao Yuan was able to do this by taking a shortcut.

Because the Yin Yang Dual Flames are flames transformed from a wisp of the Yin-Yang Law, the controller of the Yin Yang Dual Flames can resonate with the Yin Yang Two Qi within their body to control the Heavenly Flames.

However, given Xiao Yuan's current strength and soul power, the fact that he was able to find the Yin Yang Two Qi within his body was largely due to the characteristics of his own cultivation technique, which used the Five Elements Seeking Yin-Yang.

Maintaining the resonance state requires him to expend no less energy than Xiao Yan, who is currently refining pills.

Although Xiao Zhan was very distressed by Xiao Yan's accident, he did not show it. Knowing his son well, he could naturally see that Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan could not be disturbed at the moment.

"Brother, please!"

Xiao Yan stared at the two Heavenly Flames in his hand, muttered to himself, and then, to everyone's astonishment, pressed the two Heavenly Flames together.

The next moment, a destructive wave erupted, and the Little Princess and Liu Ling were the first to be affected. They were refining pills at the moment, and if they were affected by this wave, all their efforts would be in vain! Fa Ma was in the VIP seat, had been watching Xiao Yan closely. Seeing this scene, as an alchemist who knew the destructive power of Heavenly Flames, he was almost scared out of his wits. He immediately used his Douqi Transformation Wings, and his figure flashed, arriving above Xiao Yan's stone platform. His powerful soul power surged out and formed a semi-circle on the ground, trying to suppress the destructive wave emanating from the fusion of Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hands inside the stone platform.

Immediately afterwards, the destructive wave struck the protective shield formed by the Fa Ma's soul power.

Fa Ma immediately trembled, and his face turned several shades pale.

Not daring to be careless, he immediately shouted to Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong, "Come and help! This kid has gone mad!"

Seeing Fa Ma's appearance, Jia Xingtian dared not be negligent. He quickly flashed, and his earth-yellow wings unfolded behind him. At the same time, his figure and Dou Qi appeared above Xiao Yan. The earth-yellow Dou Qi shield covered the entire stone platform almost instantly.

Seeing this, Fa Ma withdrew his soul power, but he was still shaken, and his lips were trembling slightly.

Hai Bodong hesitated, as he couldn't leave at this moment. But Fa Ma, Xiao Yan had obviously created something terrifying.

"I'll do it."

Just as he hesitated, Xiao Zhan's voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong, who had already specifically reviewed the background information of the Xiao Yuan brothers at the Mittel Family, nodded in agreement. Immediately, he spread his Ice Wings, flashed, and appeared above the stone platform, where a Douqi Protective Shield descended.

At this moment, Jia Xingtian had already experienced the terrifying impact of Xiao Yan's fusion of Heavenly Flames, and his expression became solemn.

"Fa Lao, how exactly did this kid manage to create such a terrifying spectacle?"

Jia Xingtian couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Fa Ma swallowed hard, his voice dry. "Heavenly Flames are inherently domineering and extremely destructive. The two Heavenly Flames are like sworn enemies, utterly incompatible. Xiao Yan's idea of fusing the two Heavenly Flames together to refine pills and transform the flames is astonishing, even to me! But ideas are one thing, and practice is another. In this situation, we are still caught in a dilemma. The best outcome would be if the flame transformation succeeds, and Xiao Yan successfully refines the pills using a method like 'Forming a Cauldron in the Palm,' a technique even Sixth Grade Alchemist like Gu He wouldn't dare attempt. In that case, the championship would undoubtedly belong to him! But if the Fused Heavenly Flame fails, and the two Heavenly Flames completely erupt, almost everyone below the Dou Wang level present would be killed. Even Dou Wang, if they are slow, would be severely injured!"

"Damn it! You tricked us!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's face darkened, and Jia Xingtian's eyes twitched.

The plan was supposed to be making medicine, but this kid is causing an explosion?

The commotion in the arena clearly attracted the attention of the audience. Although many people knew that the consequences of fusing Heavenly Flames would be unimaginable, they were somewhat relieved to see the three powerful figures—two Dou Emperor and one Dou Wang— working together to protect them.

"Damn it, this lunatic!"

The Gray-robed Man's true rank was not low either. Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly perform such a suicidal alchemy, he couldn't help but tremble on the spot. If these two Heavenly Flames were to erupt, he estimated that he would have to pay with his life to this damned reckless brat.

At this moment, he even began to hope that Xiao Yan would succeed in refining the pill.

At the very least, don't drag him down with you!

At this moment, Xiao Yan, inside the protective shield, noticed the commotion outside, but he had no time to spare for anything else.

He was now multitasking. On one hand, he needed to steadily refine the Qing Ling Pill, and on the other hand, Dou Qi needed to use the Flame Mantra to constantly harmonize the two Heavenly Flames, lest they explode and not only fail to refine the pill, but also kill him.

Fortunately, with the help of Third Brother, the condition of Yin Yang Dual Flames is much better than expected. All that is needed is to suppress the Green Lotus Core Flame and steadily send the pill into the Yin Yang Dual Flames, and then we can breathe a sigh of relief!

In the VIP section, Xiao Yuan was also trying his best to control himself and stabilize the state of the Yin Yang Dual Flames.

Inside the Storage Ring, Yao Lao couldn't help but marvel at the performance of the two brothers. Although he had anticipated that they would do something, he hadn't expected them to actually go this far.

In fact, with his current soul power, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deceive everyone present.

But he didn't want to do that. He wanted to see how far these two little ones could go without his help. He didn't want his two disciples to rely on him too much.

Xiao Yuan was alright, since he had been cultivating alone outside from the beginning, so he wasn't too worried.

Xiao Yan and he had been cultivating together for three years. Although he usually only fought for him when they encountered problems they couldn't solve, they hadn't been properly tested in the area of alchemy yet.

The Yao Lao wanted to see if his disciple could break through his limits and successfully refine the pill under these conditions.

In addition, this is another attempt at the Flame Mantra.

Fused Heavenly Flame!

Although the description of the technique states that the Flame Mantra can continuously devour Heavenly Flames to evolve the technique's level, Heavenly Flames themselves are not compatible. Now is an opportunity to see if the Flame Mantra has any ability or characteristics that can help Fused Heavenly Flame. If it succeeds, Xiao Yan will have more assurance when devouring Heavenly Flames in the future!
