The Superior One Was Clear at a Glance

In the crowded square, Elder Chi Yun's announcement of Pill Refining immediately caused an uproar among those who knew their stuff.

The Crimson Sun Melting Snow Pill is one of the more difficult pills to refine among the Tier 7. Although its grade is not considered high among the Tier 7, being at the peak of the Seventh Grade Low-level and not quite the Seventh Grade Intermediate, it requires extremely high levels of Soul Power and flame quality to refine!

Because this Crimson Sun Melting Snow Pill requires extremely precise control of flames, Extreme Yang Fire to fuse various yang medicinal materials, and finally achieving a balanced state of "external blazing and internal warmth, yang containing gentleness" when the Pill Formation, it can resolve the slight dryness in its domineering medicinal properties, hence the name "Melting Snow".

"That's going to be great!" many people exclaimed expectantly upon hearing this.

Seeing that neither of them objected, Elder Chi Yun remained outwardly expressionless, but inwardly he was secretly delighted. He immediately waved his sleeve, and two identical portions of medicinal herbs shot towards Lin Ming and Xiao respectively.

"Only one set of medicinal herbs available. Failure means elimination. Time limit: three days. Begin!"

As Elder Chi Yun finished speaking, Master Xiao's eyes narrowed. Without further delay, he immediately summoned a dark blue Medicinal Cauldron. Judging from its fluctuations, it was at least Seventh Order Medicinal Cauldron.

Then, Master Xiao skillfully placed each medicinal herb into the cauldron, and the Deep Sea Blue Whale Fire roared in, beginning the refining of the medicinal liquid. His movements were fluid and graceful, carrying the composure and confidence unique to a master, clearly indicating that he had considerable experience in refining this elixir.

After Master Xiao had been working for a while, amidst the whispers and discussions below, Lin Ming calmly took out the Medicinal Cauldron.

When Lin Ming calmly took out the Medicinal Cauldron, the once noisy square seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, instantly falling into an eerie silence.

That was no ordinary Medicinal Cauldron. Its body was a deep, heavy dark red, as if it had been cast from solidified magma mixed with the blood of countless ancient beasts, exuding a wild and primal aura.

What's most eye-catching is the dense, lifelike Myriad Beast Relief on the cauldron! True Dragon coil, phoenixes spread their wings... Countless powerful Magical Beasts that have left their illustrious names in the history of the Dou Qi Continent have now been transformed into carvings on the cauldron. They are all different in form, some roaring, some lying in wait, and some fighting, together forming a shocking Scroll Painting of countless beasts paying homage to the heavens and roaring at the sky!

Simply by gazing at this cauldron, it was as if the roars and howls of countless Ancient Fierce Beast echoed in everyone's ears, and a vast and boundless pressure silently spread out.

"This... this is..." On the high platform, Elder Chi Yun, who had been calm all along, suddenly stood up, his pupils shrinking, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

Their Blazing Flame Valley also possesses a Medicinal Cauldron listed on the Heavenly Ranking— the Mountain Melting Cauldron! He still vividly remembers the hardships he endured to obtain this Medicinal Cauldron. Therefore, Elder Chi Yun stared intently at the Dark Red Medicinal Cauldron covered with myriad beasts that this young man named Lin Ming had taken out. After observing and confirming it repeatedly, his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"The roar of ten thousand beasts, the cauldron brimming with primordial energy... Is it really... the long-lost... Myriad Beast Cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking?!"

The three characters "Myriad Beast Cauldron" resounded like thunder in the square!

"The Heavenly Cauldron Ranking?! The legendary list that records the strongest Medicinal Cauldron on the continent?!"

"The Myriad Beast Cauldron... wasn't it said to have been destroyed in the ancient war? How could it be here?!"

"Heavens! It's such a divine object! No wonder this boy is so confident!"

Countless gazes instantly turned incredibly intense, filled with greed, shock, and disbelief.

For Alchemist, the Medicinal Cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking are like Heavenly Flames to Fire Attribute cultivators—coveted treasures! Possessing a Medicinal Cauldron from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking greatly enhances the success rate of alchemy and the quality of the pills!

Master Xiao, who had been frantically refining medicinal herbs in front of his Seventh Order dark blue Medicinal Cauldron with an aloof expression, froze instantly. His arrogance melted away like ice and snow, replaced by extreme shock and... a hint of barely concealed jealousy.

His Seventh Order Medicinal Cauldron was decent, but compared to the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which ranked high on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, it was nothing but scrap metal! Just who is this kid? Not only does he possess a strange and powerful flame and terrifying Soul Power, but he also owns such a legendary Medicinal Cauldron?!

The Wu Family members were first stunned, then burst into wild cheers. Although they did not understand alchemy, they knew what a legendary Medicinal Cauldron meant! The Zheng Family members, on the other hand, were ashen-faced. Their newly raised hopes were instantly shattered by the sudden appearance of the Myriad Beast Cauldron.

Elder Chi Yun took several deep breaths to calm his turbulent emotions. His gaze towards Lin Ming was completely different now. If before he merely admired Lin Ming's talent, now it carried the respect one would show to a powerful figure of equal status, or even someone who required careful consideration. Possessing the Myriad Beast Cauldron, this young man's background and opportunities likely far exceeded his imagination!

"The Myriad Beast Cauldron..." Elder Chi Yun murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming. "It seems that this time, our Blazing Flame Valley has truly invited an extraordinary figure!"

Amidst the stunned gazes of the entire audience, Lin Ming remained calm, as if he were merely presenting an ordinary object. He gently stroked the cold relief on the Myriad Beast Cauldron, feeling the ancient Beast Soul and immense power contained within it, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

After placing the Myriad Beast Cauldron, Lin Ming did not immediately light a fire, but slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Lin Ming close his eyes, no one discussed him anymore. After all, someone who could produce the Myriad Beast Cauldron couldn't possibly be just a showpiece.

At this moment, many of the other Alchemist immediately sensed a vast, ocean-like Soul Power surging forth as Lin Ming closed his eyes. This surging Soul Power spread out like a tide in an instant. However, unlike a tide, this spreading Soul Power transformed into fine strands of hair, each one clearly defined, completely enveloping the medicinal herbs in front of the young man who had taken out the Myriad Beast Cauldron.

The one using his Soul Power to sense the medicinal herbs was naturally Lin Ming. Under his Soul Perception, the age, medicinal properties, and even the slightest flaws of each herb were all revealed. This level of subtle perception is an ability that only those with Spirit Realm Soul power or higher can possess!

A moment later, Lin Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze clear as stars. He pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped the ground.

"Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, rise!"

Buzz--!

A flame, tinged with gold amidst its blue hue, burst forth from his fingertips. It wasn't a simple pillar of fire; the instant it left his body, it transformed into countless fine, hair-like threads of fire, precisely wrapping around each medicinal herb that needed processing! He was actually trying to refine all the herbs simultaneously!

This scene caused the pupils of everyone present who knew the matter, including Elder Chi Yun and Master Xiao, to shrink in shock!

"Multitasking! Refining at the same time?! Has he gone mad?!" Master Xiao was horrified. Even he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

The ingredients for Tier 7 Medicinal Pill are extremely precious, with different properties and vastly different requirements for the heat. If they are refined at the same time, the slightest mistake will result in them all being burned!

However, Lin Ming's expression remained unchanged. His Soul Power, like the most precise instrument, controlled each cyan-gold flame, burning and extracting the essence from the medicinal herbs at different temperatures and rhythms. The cyan-gold flames in his hands were as docile as his own limbs, sometimes as blazing as the sun, sometimes as gentle as spring water. This was another achievement of Lin Ming's improvement of the <Flame Dealing Technique>, reaching a whole new level in his control over flames!

The medicinal herbs withered at a visible rate, and drops of crystal-clear medicinal essence of various colors were quickly extracted, suspended in the Medicinal Cauldron, emitting a rich Medicinal Fragrance.

The entire process flowed smoothly and gracefully, possessing a unique aesthetic appeal, which contrasted sharply with Master Xiao's methodical refining process.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent!

Elder Chi Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his heart filled with utter shock. "This boy's control over Soul Power and flames is simply unbelievable! No wonder he dared to challenge Seventh Grade Alchemist! He is not arrogant, but truly confident!"

Master Xiao also felt immense pressure, his face turned extremely pale, and he no longer dared to underestimate the task, throwing himself wholeheartedly into his refining process.

Time ticked by. The square was completely silent; everyone held their breath, watching the fierce battle unfold.

Refining, fusing, Pill Condensation... Lin Ming performed each step flawlessly, even demonstrating a subtle understanding that surpassed the recorded prescriptions in some details, making the fusion of medicinal power even more perfect. His techniques were sometimes grand and sweeping, with flames soaring high; at other times, they were delicate and meticulous, like embroidery and brocade, dazzling the eyes and inspiring admiration.

In contrast, although Master Xiao also successfully completed the first few steps, his speed was significantly slower than Lin Ming's, and he seemed to be struggling when integrating the medicinal power, with fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead.

His Deep Sea Blue Whale Fire was not only inferior to the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire in terms of power, but also in terms of precise control, it was still not as good as Lin Ming's control over the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire.

As the sun rose and set, time slowly passed. At noon on the second day, the Medicinal Cauldron in front of Lin Ming suddenly trembled, and an astonishing energy wave swept out!

"The Pill Formation!"

With Lin Ming's clear shout, the Cauldron Lid shot into the sky, and a dazzling crimson pillar of light shot straight into the clouds! Within the pillar of light, a pill the size of a longan, perfectly round, with a vibrant red color and natural cloud patterns on its surface, slowly rose up. The rich Medicinal Fragrance of the pill instantly filled the entire square, making people feel refreshed and invigorated!

Almost immediately after Lin Ming finished making the pill, Master Xiao also reached the final moment. His face flushed red as he desperately urged his soul power and battle qi. The medicine cauldron trembled violently, and a slightly dim red pillar of light shot out. A Red Sun Melting Snow Pill of the same size appeared, but its color was obviously not as pure and transparent as Lin Ming's, and its fragrance was also weaker.

Both of them actually succeeded!

However, the quality of the elixirs varies greatly.
