Harvest (4)

"Bang!"

Amidst Yan Li's loud laughter, Xiao Yan's already cracked Medicinal Cauldron could no longer withstand the impact of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and exploded with a loud bang.

A violent explosion echoed through the square, sending countless fragments of Medicinal Cauldron flying in all directions, forcing the other Alchemist nearby to circulate their Dou Qi to defend themselves.

"Haha, Fa Ma, hurry up and announce the results! I can't wait to accept the title of champion." Seeing the scene filled with white mist from the exploding Medicinal Cauldron, Yan Li spoke even more arrogantly, calling out Fa Ma's name.

The vast plaza was now silent except for Yan Li's laughter. After all, with the explosion of the Xiao Yan Medicinal Cauldron, the only hope to stop Yan Li from winning the championship had been shattered.

The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill refined by Yan Li is unmatched by any other pill refined by the other contestants. Therefore, it seems that Yan Li's championship is a foregone conclusion.

Despite the urge to kill Yan Li Fa Ma with a single blow, Fa Ma could only helplessly acknowledge the outcome of the Alchemist Grand Meet in response to Yan Li's arrogant statement.

"According to the rules of the competition, whoever refines the highest-grade and most effective pill in this round will be the final champion. Although Yao Yue and Liu Ling also refined Tier 4 Medicinal Pill, their pills are inferior to Yan Li's Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill in both grade and efficacy. Therefore, the final champion of this year's Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Grand Meet is Yan."

"Etc!"

Just as Fa Ma was about to finish his announcement, a sudden shout came from the white smoke, interrupting Fa Ma's announcement.

The sounds emanating from the white smoke not only interrupted Fa Ma's voice but also reawakened the hearts of those who had been dormant within.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the center of the square, and as the white smoke dissipated, a young man with tattered clothes gradually came into view.

"The match isn't over yet!" As everyone turned their attention to him, the boy in the center of the square slowly but firmly raised his head and looked towards the platform. Then, a resolute voice came from his mouth.

"There's still about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea," Fa Ma replied immediately upon hearing Xiao Yan's question.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yan Li, who had already been declared the champion by Fa Ma, immediately became Yan Li.

After all, if Xiao Yan hadn't interrupted Fa Ma, he would already be the champion. So when Fa Ma replied, Yan Li immediately said to Xiao Yan with a mocking tone, "Xiao Yan, if you're any man, stop wasting time. This short time is barely enough to refine even a first-grade pill, let alone any High-Grade Pills."

"A real man should never give up until the very last moment. Besides, who told you I needed to refine it again?" Xiao Yan replied with a mocking smile in response to Yan Li's sarcasm.

"What do you mean?" Faced with Xiao Yan's words, Yan Li blurted out with instant unease.

Xiao Yan ignored Yan Li's question again. At this moment, Xiao Yan stretched out his palm and looked up at the sky, and a suction force was instantly transmitted from his palm.

Seeing Xiao Yan's action, all the tens of thousands of onlookers were drawn to it, and all turned their gazes toward the sky corresponding to Xiao Yan's palm.

The clouds in the sky were drifting, and at that moment, a sharp-eyed person immediately noticed that a cluster of eerie white flames was blooming within these drifting clouds.

"This is the last type of flame that Xiao Yan used to Pill Refining. That's right, look, there's a pill wrapped inside this flame." Upon seeing this cluster of flames, a sharp-eyed person immediately exclaimed in surprise.

After this person shouted, the Bone White Flame, under the suction force of the Xiao Yan's palm, suddenly fell from the clouds.

As the Bone White Flame plummeted, its intensity rapidly diminished, while the outline of the pill encased within it became increasingly clear as the flame waned.

"Haha, this little guy always makes things so dramatic, he doesn't even consider whether we old folks can handle it." Seeing the cyan pill with three patterns appearing on Xiao Yan, Fa Ma's dying heart was revived, and he couldn't help but smile as he spoke to his two old friends.

Jia Xingtian immediately nodded in agreement with what Fa Ma said.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Bone White Flame dissipated when it was half a foot away from Xiao Yan's palm, revealing the pill inside, which fell into Xiao Yan's hand.

As soon as he got the pills, Xiao Yan took out the Jade Bottle he had prepared beforehand, and the pills in his hand were instantly placed into the Jade Bottle and sealed away.

After finishing all this, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the nearly empty funnel, then glanced at Xiao Yan Li with a mocking smile before turning his gaze to Fa Ma, and loudly proclaimed, "Guild Master Fa Ma, the Xiao Yan is complete!"

"Haha, good! Xiao Yan, tell us about the pills you've refined!" Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Fa Ma immediately burst into laughter, urging Xiao Yan to reveal the pills he had refined.

Upon hearing Fa Ma's words, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and looked once again at Yan Li, whose face was gloomy in the distance.

Looking at Yan Li, Xiao Yan slowly raised the Jade Bottle in his hand. Then, a loud shout rang out across the square, lingering for a long time.

"Tier 4 Medicinal Pill, the Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill!"

"Three... Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill?!"

Xiao Yan's loud shout, which sounded so pleasant to others, was like a death knell from hell to Yan Li.

So much so that after the sound stopped, Yan Li's gloomy face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Yan Li refined the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill his winning pill because he knew its status among Tier 4 Medicinal Pill. However, precisely because of this, Yan Li was more knowledgeable than most people about the pills that ranked before the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill among Tier 4 Medicinal Pill.

The Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill, in terms of both efficacy and medicinal grade, is superior to the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill. Therefore, the championship title that was about to be in his grasp was instantly lost. Without the halo of the championship title, his act of killing with his left hand would absolutely not be able to escape the Jia Ma Empire. Yan Li lost his composure upon hearing Xiao Yan's words.
