Swallowing Flame into the Pill, Ninth Grade Golden Pill
Although the tests for the younger generation of the Yao Clan had ended, the atmosphere in the plaza didn't quiet down; instead, it suddenly became heated. Almost scorching gazes swept across the plaza, finally settling on the stone chairs. They understood that the main event of the Medicine Ceremony Censorship Ceremony was for these great figures standing at the pinnacle of the Medicine Realm —or rather, for Xiao Yuan, who had reached the Emperor Realm Soul! "Heh, it's finally about to begin."
At this moment, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan also slowly opened their eyes, feeling the sudden increase in temperature in the space, and a sense of anticipation appeared in their eyes.
Alchemists are divided into nine ranks, with the first rank being the lowest and the ninth rank the highest. The ninth-rank Alchemic Grandmaster are further divided into three levels: Precious Pill Grandmaster, Profound Pill Grandmaster, and Golden Pill Grandmaster! When Xiao Yuan last used the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning to refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, he was already at the Profound Pill Grandmaster level. Of course, this was not verified by any organization. At this level, no single force can verify their rank anymore, because they are the most outstanding people in the Medicine Realm.
The Xuan Dan Grandmaster is basically the most outstanding existence in the Medicine Realm on this continent, and their number can be counted on one hand. As for the Jin Dan Grandmaster, no one has been able to reach this level for nearly a thousand years, because no one has been able to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill.
Above the Golden Core Grandmaster is the legendary Emperor Rank, the ultimate level, unmatched by anyone.
If Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were to give it their all, they believed that the success rate of refining Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill would be quite high.
But as for the Golden Core, that depends on Xiao Yuan! Xiao Yuan naturally had the same plan. At his level, he naturally had the ideas for refining medicine, and his ability was more than sufficient.
He gently stroked the jade cup with his palm, and amidst the anticipation of the crowd, he flashed and appeared on the highest platform.
Wanhu Elder knew his own abilities. If it weren't for Xiao Yuan, he would have been willing to show off his skills. But given the current situation, he felt there was no need for him to take action.
Yao Dan naturally wouldn't make a move either, as he was well aware of what Emperor Realm Soul represented.
"It seems that Xiao Yuan is the only one left to play this final, crucial role. But that's to be expected. The amount of energy required for Ninth Grade Golden Pill is probably more than the entire Medicine Realm could handle. But I think this kid has his own plans."
The Yao Lao said with a light laugh.
"Hmm, it seems this is a performance exclusively for Third Brother."
Xiao Yan nodded and sighed.
As Xiao Yuan and Yao Lao conversed in hushed tones, Yao Dan, who was seated at the head of the table, slowly rose to his feet. At that moment, all eyes in the room were on him.
"Hehe, now that the appetizers are over, it's time for the main event." Facing the gaze of the entire audience, Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, "The final winner of this Medicine Ceremony Compendium will take the title of the continent's Number One Alchemist. I'm sure you all have seen the power of Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan's soul. I think no one will object to him making the first move, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was naturally speechless.
They're not tired of living yet; they wouldn't be so foolish as to disrespect Xiao Yuan and the Yao Clan Chief at a time like this.
"I have no great interest in such empty fame. If Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan intends to refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, I may have a Young Clan Leader with Xiao Yuan later!"
The Shen Nong Old Man stood with his feet on the void, and as he shook his cane, which looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs, the jade bottle on it clattered together, making a crisp sound. He smiled and said.
"Senior Shennong, this time I am not refining Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, but Ninth Grade Golden Pill!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan laughed heartily, his voice echoing throughout the world, making it clear to everyone.
"Ninth Grade Golden Pill? If he really manages to refine it, then the title of the continent's Number One Alchemist will truly be at its peak!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's laughter, the plaza erupted in commotion. Countless alchemists' eyes burned with fervor. In this era without Dou Di Emperor Grade Pill, Ninth Grade Golden Pill Core alchemist was the pinnacle of their pursuit! "Since Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan is ready, please begin refining the pills!"
Yao Dan smiled and nodded, but a hint of curiosity lingered in her heart.
Is Xiao Yuan really capable of refining Ninth Grade Golden Pill?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and casually tossed out a ball of golden flame. Amidst envious gazes, it transformed into a 999-foot-tall fire cauldron that hovered in the sky. Fire dragons coiled around the cauldron, their deep roars resounding as if they were tangible. In an instant, the temperature between heaven and earth rose rapidly! At Xiao Yuan's level, the so-called medicine cauldrons on the Heaven Cauldron Ranking were already dispensable to him, because he could easily use his Heavenly Flames to condense the highest quality medicine cauldrons.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and countless Medicinal Herbs flew out from his Storage Ring, eventually swirling around the fire cauldron. The sheer number of Medicinal Herbs was probably in the thousands. Such a quantity left many alchemists speechless. Compared to his alchemy skills, even the Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning summoned by Yao Tian seemed like a small fry compared to a big fish.
Summoning the Medicinal Herbs, Xiao Yuan's thoughts stirred, and instantly a crack appeared on the fire cauldron. A suction force surged, swallowing all the thousands of Medicinal Herbs floating in the sky. Then, flames suddenly rose up inside the fire cauldron. "So many Medicinal Herbs, he actually wants to refine them all at once?"
Upon seeing this scene, even the elders of the Yao Clan couldn't help but twitch their faces. Thousands of Medicinal Herbs each required completely different extracts. Could it really work to just throw them all into the fire cauldron like this?
The Yao Lao in the VIP seats looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile. He had great confidence in the latter. Xiao Yuan's skill in alchemy had long surpassed that of his teacher. "How exactly does this guy cultivate?"
"He's not much older than us, yet he possesses such terrifying alchemy skills."
Below the square, a large group of young members of the Yao Clan gathered together. However, these young members of the Yao Clan, who had just regained some of their pride after the previous competition, now looked at the sky with deep disappointment. Even Yao Tian, who had previously achieved the best ranking in the Medicine Ceremony, looked depressed. Although he was very unwilling, the huge gap between him and Xiao Yuan made him feel somewhat desperate.
In the distance, the usually aloof Yao Ling was now gazing at the composed young figure in the sky. This was the first time she had seen Xiao Yuan refine medicine, but it wasn't the first time she had seen Ninth Grade Alchemist refine medicine.
Even Wanhu Elder could not refine these thousands of Medicinal Herbs so casually.
"Emperor Realm Soul!"
Yao Ling gazed at the figure in the sky with her beautiful eyes, which sparkled with an unusual light. Her soul was born different from ordinary people. The clan leader once said that if she had enough opportunities, she might be able to step into the legendary "Emperor Realm" soul. She had always been proud of her soul power. Even her extremely talented brother was a step weaker than her in terms of soul power.
It wasn't until she met Xiao Yuan that she realized she had been too narrow-minded. Not to mention Xiao Yuan, who Emperor Realm Soul, even Xiao Yan had reached the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, while she was only at the late stage of the Heavenly State.
Furthermore, due to limitations in her alchemy skills, she wasn't even entirely confident in refining the Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning.
In the sky, all the thousands of Medicinal Herbs were swallowed up by the fire cauldron. Then Xiao Yuan sat cross-legged in mid-air. With his Divine Palace Realm soul, refining this medicinal power was a piece of cake for him.
The blazing golden flames completely enveloped the cauldron, making it resemble a giant fireball. Every few minutes, small fireballs would emerge from the cauldron, hovering and circling it. Each of these fireballs contained Medicinal Herbs liquids and powders of different colors, all of which were refined to the highest purity.
In the square, many alchemists gazed at Xiao Yuan's fluid and skillful alchemy techniques in the sky, all showing expressions of fascination.
The extraction of these Medicinal Herbs lasted for about a day before Xiao Yuan opened his eyes. Looking at the dense clusters of fireballs floating around the cauldron, he took a deep breath and waved his hand lightly. The numerous fireballs then swept back into the cauldron. Immediately afterward, an astonishing energy fluctuation spread wildly from the cauldron, even causing the cauldron to vibrate and hum.
However, immediately afterward, to everyone's disbelief, Xiao Yuan waved his hand and threw the Nihility Devouring Flame's primordial fire, which he had been holding in his hand, into the medicine cauldron! Then, he changed his hand seals and shouted in a deep voice, "Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command!"
As Xiao Yuan's shout fell, a sudden violent wind blew up between the heaven and the earth. The infinite energy of heaven and earth gathered overwhelmingly towards the fire cauldron, and was finally swallowed up by the suction force emanating from it. Such a terrifying devouring, in the end, the energy seemed to have formed a mottled energy storm, roaring crazily in the sky, and was finally swallowed into the fire cauldron. Such a terrifying alchemy momentum made many people... Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, they had never heard that when refining elixirs, it was necessary to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, because these energies would sometimes break the balance between the properties of the medicine, leading to failure. However, such thoughts are naturally only shared by ordinary people. The expressions of the elders of the medicine clan and some masters of medicine refining were full of horror at this moment, and even the expressions of the medicine pills in the first place became extremely serious.
"They threw the Nihility Devouring Flame in too?"
They were certainly not shocked by Xiao Yuan's method of using the power of heaven and earth to refine medicine.
It's important to understand that, even refining Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, requires absorbing an incredibly dense amount of heaven and earth energy. While the heaven and earth energy within a radius of ten thousand miles of this Medicine Mountain is extremely rich, it's only enough to refine one Profound Pill at most. Moreover, what Xiao Yuan wants to refine is a Golden Core! Besides, what kind of pill can use the Nihility Devouring Flame as Medicinal Herbs? However, as expected of the Yao Clan's patriarch, Yao Dan immediately realized that Xiao Yuan's soul power was not like his, Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul that could only control the heaven and earth energy within a ten-thousand-mile radius.
Xiao Yuan possesses Emperor Realm Soul, capable of manipulating the energy of most of the Central State for alchemy! However, he still cannot understand what kind of pill requires the use of Nihility Devouring Flame as a material for refining.
High in the sky, energy roared wildly, eventually condensing into a massive tornado. One end of the storm was connected to the Golden Fire Cauldron, while the other end desperately absorbed the rich energy of heaven and earth, continuously pouring it into the fire cauldron.
Faced with Xiao Yuan's almost ferocious suction, the people around the square suddenly felt their internal Dou Qi about to burst out. At that moment, everyone was filled with horror and panicked. They hurriedly retreated, fearing that the Dou Qi they had painstakingly cultivated would also be sucked away by the four storms in the sky. If that happened, the loss would be too great.
This strange phenomenon in the sky lasted for nearly three days. During these three days, no one knew how much energy in this world had been absorbed. The only thing they could feel was that the energy of heaven and earth circulating in the surrounding air had become much thinner. The Medicinal Herbs around the square had even turned yellow and withered, as their energy had been forcibly absorbed.
The Ninth Grade Golden Pill is already the pinnacle of pills on this continent, and can be called a man-made divine object. The energy required for its formation is so terrifying that it can shock many Dou Sheng Expert. Ancient books have recorded that in ancient times, wherever Ninth Grade Golden Pill was born, it would become a desolate and ruined world, because all the energy of this world was incorporated into the pill!
Although the Yao Clan felt a pang of heartache for the withered Medicinal Herbs, there was nothing they could do. Some elders of the Yao Clan took advantage of the opportunity to quickly seal off some of the more precious Medicine Field in the Medicine Mountain. Otherwise, once the pill refining was completed, the Medicine Mountain would probably become desolate.
Inside the medicine cauldron, which is invisible to the public, there is more than just a scene of medicine refining.
A ball of pitch-black flame is having its primordial fire drawn into the pill that is about to take shape.
As the fire was drawn out, the dark flames trembled slightly.
If the original Nihility Devouring Flame was equivalent to Nine Star Dou Sheng, then the current Nihility Devouring Flame is about to fall to Seven Star Dou Sheng.
Heavenly Flames of the same caliber as the Nihility Devouring Flame is unlikely to be tolerated by the world.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan is refining a golden pill to seize the creation of heaven and earth, and to refine a portion of the original fire of the Nihility Devouring Flame into the pill. The person who takes the pill can directly refine the Nihility Devouring Flame by refining the medicinal power without any risk!
