Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, Zi Yan Arrives
The monster's corpse was thrown into the Medicine Cauldron, and under the terrifying high temperature of the Fusion Heavenly Flame, it turned into blood-red liquid drop by drop, like a candle.
Inside the Myriad Beast Cauldron, the energy of the Medicine Cauldron also began to gradually rise, striving to reach a level above the Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.
Gu Yan's expression was extremely unpleasant, and his mood was far from pleasant.
He was confident that he was invincible in the field of Eighth-Rank Alchemist, but who would have thought that Xiao Yan would actually refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill? Wasn't this bullying?
Gu Yan controlled the flames to refine the Medicinal Herbs, when he suddenly noticed that the Pill Tower's Three Giants, who were acting as referees, did not show any joy; instead, they frowned.
Why?
The thought popped into Gu Yan's mind, and then the worry in his eyes disappeared, gradually turning into joy.
At this moment, he finally noticed an important point that he had almost overlooked.
The most crucial difference between Tier 9 Medicinal Pill and Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, besides the energy of the Medicinal Herbs, is that Tier 9 Medicinal Pill contain the Power of Heaven and Earth infused by the Alchemist!
Infusing the Power of Heaven and Earth is something only Heavenly Realm Soul can do!
Gu Yan sensed Xiao Yan's Soul Power. Although he couldn't sense it very precisely, he could still tell that Xiao Yan's Soul Power had definitely not reached the Heavenly Realm!
To attempt to refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill without reaching the Heavenly Realm is truly foolish; one's past successes have been too smooth, leading to arrogance and utter stupidity!
Gu Yan displayed a calm and composed expression, as if he wasn't the one who had panicked not long ago.
In the Ancient Realm and Tian Shu City, all the Alchemist who knew the conditions for refining Tier 9 Medicinal Pill showed expressions of doubt.
Surprisingly, most of the Alchemist did not show any mocking expressions.
Even though they didn't know much about Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, just by seeing the miraculous strength and flawless Flame Control Technique he had displayed, a thought suddenly popped into their minds.
Perhaps... Xiao Yan really can refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill?
Gu Yan inexplicably began to feel uneasy.
The external disturbances did not affect Xiao Yan.
He simply repeatedly threw in the corpses of magical beasts, refining them into pure energy with his Heavenly Flames.
The corpses and Magic Core of the two Dou Sheng Saints, belonging to Yao Xiaotian and the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, were also included without exception.
Under the burning Heavenly Flames, the two Dou Sheng corpses and the Magic Core transformed into a massive ball of blood-red energy, containing energy several times greater than that of a normal Eighth-Tier Nine-Colored Pill.
It would be a great pity if the pills refined in this way were only Eight-Rank Nine-Color pills.
It's possible that the high energy content of the Medicinal Herbs will make it difficult to form the elixir!
Many Alchemist who saw this felt it was a pity, thinking that Xiao Yan was somewhat wasted.
Slowly, another five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yan had already refined all the Medicinal Herbs into a medicinal liquid three days ago, and was now using his Peak Spirit Realm Soul Power to control the liquid to form a pill.
Xiao Yan had just finished incinerating all the demonic beast corpses.
At this moment, the Myriad Beast Cauldron contained three distinct energies: medicinal herb liquid, the crimson energy of demonic beast corpses and Magic Core, and the Myriad Beast Energy derived from the Myriad Beast Cauldron's transformation of the energy of heaven and earth. The crimson energy was the most abundant among them.
At this point, Xiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Once he reaches the pill-forming stage, even if there are energy conflicts, he will definitely be able to form a pill!
The [Balance] Heaven-Swallowing Talent is just that unreasonable!
Does Tier 9 Medicinal Pill require Tier 9 Medicinal Recipe?
Whoever wants to hear these things can listen to them; it's none of his business.
Boom--!
Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, and thunder roared from the sky.
One color... three colors... seven colors... nine colors!
Nine-colored thunderclouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunderous roars.
It's Gu Yan!
In ten days, he successfully created the pill in one go, and the pill attracted Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!
"Nine-Colored Pill Lightning! Counting from the last time I saw Master Xiao refine it in the Pill Region, this is only the second time in my life that I have seen Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."
This life has been worthwhile!
"Haha, then you're still not as good as me. I once saw the Xuankong Zi giant attract Nine-Colored Pill Lightning when he was refining pills."
"Tch, you guys get this excited about the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning? You're nowhere near as good as me."
I was fortunate enough to witness the last time that Venerable Yao —no, I should say Medicine Saint —refined Tier 9 Precious Pill. I have no regrets in this life!
"Tier 9 Precious Pill? Wouldn't that attract the Black Demon Thunder?"
Brother, you are truly enviable! I was in the Southwest Region at the time and missed it. I regret it so much!
"Black Demon Thunder, I wish I were lucky enough to see it even once in my life."
"Then you won't have to wait too long. Isn't what Master Xiao is refining this time Tier 9 Precious Pill?"
"Um... it's not that I disrespect Master Xiao, but those Tier 9 Precious Pill can only be refined by those with Heavenly Realm Soul. Master Xiao's chances this time are probably slim..."
"What a pity."
The discussions have never stopped.
Xiao Yan focused on condensing the pill, only glancing briefly at the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning summoned by Gu Yan. He slightly curled the corners of his mouth, after all, this would soon be his pill.
Not long after, the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning struck, but Gu Yan skillfully used his Dou Skill to block it. It was the Emperor Seal Technique, and he easily combined the five seals into one, directly shattering the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Yan clearly sensed Gu Yan's cultivation level: Peak Nine-Revolution Dou Venerate!
Even with the resources of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yan couldn't break through to the Semi-Saint. Xiao Yan guessed that Gu Yan's cultivation Heaven-Swallowing Talent was truly lacking, and he probably even tried taking the Bodhi Pill without success.
Xiao Yan glanced at it twice and then looked away, continuing to condense his core.
After Gu Yan finished refining the pill, he suppressed its Yao Ling and put it into a jade bottle, then began to watch Xiao Yan refine the pill.
He didn't say anything sarcastic, but just looked at her seriously.
Although he didn't believe in Xiao Yan's ability to refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill, Xiao Yan's pill-refining skills and unparalleled Flame Control Technique during the process had already earned his approval.
Ultimately, he and Xiao Yan were rivals, not enemies.
Just then, a very obvious spatial fluctuation spread out above Tian Shu City, extremely close to Xiao Yan.
In an instant, the Yao Lao appeared in Tian Shu City, his expression serious.
Gu Yang also pretended to raise his hand.
In an instant, almost everyone's nerves were on edge.
Could it be that someone is trying to interrupt Xiao Yan's alchemy at this moment?
"Ah! It's all your fault for not telling me. I've missed all the opportunities. From now on, if you make me go into seclusion, I'll never listen to you again!" A somewhat charming girl's voice came from the suddenly appearing spatial rift.
Immediately following was an aged but deep voice. "Your Princess, your seclusion cannot be delayed. Although you missed the auction, you can still see your brother if you come now."
Accompanied by the sound, a lovely young girl and a powerful old man emerged from the spatial rift.
Behind the two 'people' were Zhu Li and Hei Qing, who looked somewhat helpless, as if they had been reprimanded.
"This is... the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"
"This old man is Dou Sheng!"
"Wasn't the Ancient Void Dragon Clan hidden away for many years? How come so many of them have emerged now?"
"The elder brother mentioned by that Princess of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan seems to be Master Xiao!"
"This... Master Xiao has the Ancient Void Dragon Clan the Void as his backer?!"
