Beginning the Refinement, the Mask Shattered

The thunderclouds burst open, and the power of the inner Pill Lightning poured down in an instant, drenching the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

This attack, powerful enough to kill an ordinary Dou Zong expert, left not a single scratch on the Heavenly Demon Puppet; instead, it added even more brilliance to its golden body.

In the Alchemy Square, countless Alchemist watched this scene with rapt attention.

This kind of puppet that can withstand heavenly lightning is simply the treasure they've been dreaming of.

Moreover, this puppet possesses such formidable power.

Without the Heavenly Flames, their combat strength Alchemist would be weaker than that of cultivators of the same realm. However, with this puppet, they would no longer need to worry about their safety and could focus all their energy on refining pills.

However, everyone knew that this puppet was so powerful and had so many uses that it must be extremely valuable, and even they, as Alchemist, were unlikely to be able to afford it.

At this moment, the Pill Lightning was completely absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and the pills refined by Gu He were completely completed.

Gu He recovered some of his Dou Qi, drew out the pills from the Medicine Cauldron, and suspended them in the air, displaying them to everyone.

The pills are red and blue, the two colors mixed together, making their appearance quite distinctive.

Many Alchemist exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

"This is the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill Yan Xiao!"

"The Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill? That pill that can raise Dou Zong expert of four stars or below by One-Star after taking it?"

"With the ability to refine this pill, this Palace Master Gu He now possesses the power to command all Four-Star Dou Zong."

"Although the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill is difficult to refine, the required Medicinal Herbs are practically free compared to other Tier 7 Medicinal Pill. It truly is a top-grade pill with low input and high return. I wish I could be fortunate enough to see the formula for this pill."

"That's easy, just join the Tian Shu Alliance."

"Joining the Tian Shu Alliance? That's certainly a good idea. However, I'm used to being carefree, and the Tian Shu Alliance is powerful; I doubt they'll be too lenient. I think I'll pass."

Amidst the discussions, Gu He put away the pills, thinking to himself, "Regardless of whether the quality of the pills I refined was the highest present, or whether I will receive the Alliance Leader's reward, this breakthrough is enough for me."

After Gu He finished refining the pill, other Alchemist followed suit and completed their own pills one after another.

Several Seventh-Rank Alchemist also successfully refined Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, and two of them even attracted Pill Lightning.

One of the Alchemist took out a puppet he had crafted and began absorbing the Pill Lightning lightning strike after strike. However, the puppet could not withstand the energy of the Pill Lightning in the end and shattered. The Alchemist was heartbroken and could only use his physical body to withstand the last blow, suffering minor injuries in the process.

The other one had reached the Peak Dou Zong and withstood the Pill Lightning with his own strength, consuming some Dou Qi but without being harmed.

The way these two dealt with the Pill Lightning reminded everyone of the Heavenly Demon Puppet. If they had that puppet, they wouldn't have faced such a difficult situation.

All the Alchemist have finished refining their products.

Alchemist in the entire Alchemy Square seemed to be under some kind of control, and at that moment they all turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan knew what they were waiting for, so without hesitation, he said directly, "I already know about the pills you have refined. The one who refines the highest quality pills and the one who refines the most unique pills, you two, come up on stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan released two streams of Dou Qi, one landing on Gu He and the other on a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

The Sixth-Rank Alchemist had a scruffy beard, and his apothecary robe hung loosely on his body, giving him an unkempt appearance.

Seeing that Gu He had been chosen as the one with the highest quality pills, the other two Alchemist had also triggered Seventh Tier Pill Lightning lightning showed helpless expressions.

The pills refined by the three of them were actually difficult to rank, but since Gu He was one of their own, and their pills couldn't be significantly different, it was only natural that Gu He was chosen.

However, it was the person whose elixir was the most unique who attracted most people's attention.

Before the round platform, Gu He and the Sixth-Rank Alchemist handed the pills they had refined to Xiao Yan.

One pill was a mixture of red and blue, and the other was a blood-red pill emanating black energy.

Xiao Yan held up the blood-red pill and emphasized, "This pill is called the Beast Pill, Peak Sixth Grade. It is made from the Magic Core, demonic blood, and demonic soul of a demonic beast, along with some Medicinal Herbs. After taking it, the user can transform into that demonic beast for a short period of time and unleash the fighting power of that beast in its previous life."

"This pill is the most unique one I've identified."

Upon hearing about the effects of this pill, the many Alchemist were speechless with frustration.

The effect of turning someone into a magical beast after taking the medicine sounds simple, but as Alchemist, they know best how difficult it would be to actually create it.

As previously stated, both of them could ask Xiao Yan for advice on alchemy after the exchange meeting.

However, it was clear that the exchange was not over.

Xiao Yan returned the two pills to the two people, then addressed everyone, saying, "There are many Alchemist here who are willing to participate in this exchange meeting, presumably all here to witness me refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pill."

Below, most of the Alchemist nodded.

This exchange format is not unique; the reason they are willing to participate is simply to witness the prowess of Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

"In that case, I won't waste everyone's time."

"Tier 8 Medicinal Pill are graded based on the color of the Pill Lightning they attract, with Nine-Colored Pill Lightning being the highest grade."

"The pill I'm refining this time is the Primordial Origin Pill, which ranks in the middle among Tier 8 Medicinal Pill and can attract Five-Colored Pill Lightning."

"Let's see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan summoned the Fusion Heavenly Flame.

Eight kinds of Heavenly Flames, nine colors.

The flames coalesced and intertwined, resembling a rosy glow descending from the sky.

Everyone in the entire Alchemy Square was stunned.

With his current strength, he has Xiao Yi Xian, Peak Dou Venerate, behind him, as well as Gu Yuan's Token, and there's a high probability that he'll also have the resurrected Dou Sheng Yao Lao in the future.

The ability to Fusion Heavenly Flame has long been something that no longer needs to be hidden.

Revealing his Fusion Heavenly Flame might attract some attention and speculation, but isn't that exactly what he wants?

The Tian Shu Alliance needs a name that is loud and clear!

Only in this way can we expand rapidly, gather more resources for him, and help him grow.

He had been hiding and lying dormant for far too long in this Northwest Continent.

He wore the mask on his face for so long that he got used to it.

He was afraid of being targeted and coveted, so he repeatedly hid himself.

But now, with the protection of the Dou Venerate- level Tian Shu Alliance Heavenly Demon Puppet, the Xiao Clan has grown stronger and stronger.

He had no more worries.

With his own abilities, apart from a saint personally appearing, who could be his match!

Now, he neither wants to hide nor needs to hide!

On his face, the Flame Mask slowly shattered.
