Flame Monarch

Xiao Yu paid no attention to the gazes of others. He casually rolled up all the medicinal herbs on the stone platform and then tossed them all into the Medicine Cauldron with a flick of his wrist.

Yan Xixi and the others, who were already paying close attention to Xiao Yu, widened their eyes immediately. If it were a matter of putting all the medicinal materials together for extraction, they could do it too, but that was only when they were refining first and second-grade pills, because the medicinal materials for first and second-grade pills were easier to control and the extraction points were roughly the same. But fourth-grade pills were different!

Each medicinal herb has its own temperature. If it's not controlled properly, these herbs will be completely ruined. There are only two batches of herbs. This is simply playing a joke on the first batch!

Yan Xixi sighed inwardly, "I originally thought that an alchemist who could possess such a flame must have extremely high attainments in alchemy, but now it seems I was overthinking it!"

Yan Xixi Luo Tian, Zhao Feiyun, and Zhao Feilong. Zhao Feiyun sneered inwardly, "This guy is obviously just trying to show off. This is a fourth-grade pill; it'll probably explode in the furnace soon because the ingredients are incompatible!"

Luo Tian couldn't understand why this person would do something so incomprehensible, but he didn't dwell on it. He simply shook his head and focused on his alchemy.

Xiao Yu paid no attention to any of this. He had already calmed his mind and was controlling the herbs in the Medicine Cauldron with his fingers flying up and down, allowing the chaotic Chaos Flame to refine them. Soon, the herbs in the Medicine Cauldron were extracted by the Chaos Flame step by step!

The several alchemist guild leaders on the high platform exchanged glances. Luo Jingyao said with some shock, "This person's alchemy techniques are very strange, and his flames don't seem to be ordinary flames either. But I've never heard of this color of Heavenly Flames before!"

Mu Lanfa nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, this lad's alchemy skills are extremely proficient. This time, the pill formula was only a handwritten scroll, yet he started refining it immediately after just one glance, and he's refining so many medicinal herbs at once!"

The Old Woman Zhang sneered, "Instead of guessing here, why don't you just ask President Fama right here?"

Hearing their discussion, Fama simply chuckled and said, "This person is named Xiao Yu, a Yao Tian from our Jia Ma Empire. Although he's among the younger generation of alchemists, he's already an elder of our Alchemist Guild!"

"Oh? Then I wonder how skilled this elder is at alchemy?" Mu Lanfa asked after glancing at Fama.

The other two also looked at Fama. Fama chuckled dryly and simply said, "Back when we participated in the Imperial Alchemist Tournament, Xiao Yu was already Fifth-grade Alchemist. I'm not quite sure about now!"

"He's been in the Black Corner Region for a while now. As for his alchemy skills, you'd better watch the competition first!" Fama interrupted their attempt to ask further.

Not far Yan Luotian Fama and the others, Yan Luotian, Xie Shan, and the Mulan Three Elders all frowned. After the five of them walked to the side, Yan Luotian said in a deep voice, "Fama just said that this person is called Xiao Yu, and he used to be from the Black Corner Region. Could it be that the Misty Cloud Sect within the Jia Ma Empire was destroyed by this person?"

Xie Shan said coldly, "But we haven't heard that Xiao Yu is also an alchemist."

Among the Mulan Three Elders, Elder Black Bear snorted coldly and said, "It seems your Luoyan Empire's intelligence isn't very good either. This Xiao Yu is not only powerful, but also possesses such formidable alchemy skills. I think this alliance of the three empires should be abandoned!"

Yan Luotian heard the Elder Black Bear's expression darken slightly as he said, "This is only the first round. We don't even know how strong Xiao Yu's alchemy skills are yet. Does your Mulan Empire already want to back down?"

Elder Tiger then said, "That's not how it works. When the Luoyan Empire came to our Mulan Empire, they only said that the Jia Ma Empire was weak and that it was the perfect time for the three empires to join forces and divide the spoils. That's why our Mulan Empire agreed to this Alchemist Tournament. Now it's clear that the Jia Ma Empire's strength has not only not weakened, but has actually become stronger. I think the Mulan Empire has no need to get involved in this mess!"

When Xie Shan heard Elder Tiger of the Mulan Empire say this, his heart stirred slightly. The Chuyun Empire had sent the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate here for the same reason. The Poison Sect's power in the Chuyun Empire was growing stronger day by day. The Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was not only cooperating with the Imperial Family, but also trying to suppress the Poison Sect in order to protect itself!

Judging from the current situation, the alliance of the three empires may not be able to swallow up the Jia Ma Empire in one gulp. Therefore, the Imperial Family will not send troops to the Jia Ma Empire because they are wary of the Poison Sect. Xie Shan's expression also became somewhat gloomy and uncertain!

Yan Luotian's heart sank slightly upon seeing this scene, then he sneered and said, "What, you're scared already? The three great empires joining forces are equivalent to two Dou Zong and one Peak Dou Emperor, and we have many more forces within our empires. You're frightened like this by just one Xiao Yu?"

Elder Lion of the Mulan Three Elders, said, "Even if we can stop the forces that wipe out Yun Shan, can you guarantee that there are no other forces within the Jia Ma Empire?"

"Absolutely impossible! If the Jia Ma Empire truly had other Dou Zong powerhouses, we would have known this long ago. How could we not have received even a whisper of it?" Yan Luotian said coldly.

A silence fell over the group. Soon, Xie Shan said, "Let's wait and see. The Alchemist Tournament isn't over yet!"

Yan Luotian and the Mulan Three Elders, nodded slightly upon hearing this and remained silent.

On the plaza, almost half the time had passed. Yan Xixi glanced at the person to the side with a strange look. "What's this guy doing? Could he have actually refined it? That's impossible, why isn't the furnace exploding yet?"

Xiao Yu looked at the refined medicinal herbs inside the Medicine Cauldron, chuckled, and then controlled the herbs inside the Medicine Cauldron to begin further fusion. This Seven Absolutes Pill was relatively simple for him, even though it was his first time refining it.

Because the medicinal herbs were being refined together, Xiao Yu's time was much faster than the others. Even Yan Xixi had only refined the last two herbs, which was already considered very fast!

Yan Xixi glanced at Xiao Yu beside her, and exclaimed in shock, "He... he's finished refining? Is he starting to fuse it?"

Huo Yue'er had finished refining all the medicinal herbs, and half the time had passed. She glanced at Xiao Yu Xiao Yu had already begun to Pill Fusion; she just felt Xiao Yu a little better now.

As time passed, the fragrance of pills began to emanate from Xiao Yu's Medicine Cauldron. This fragrance was extremely strong and quickly spread throughout the entire square. The four guild leaders on the high platform also smelled this fragrance!
