Cauldron explosion
Xiao Yu's alchemy technique remained unchanged. He directly placed all the medicinal herbs into the Medicine Cauldron. Since the pills they refined were all identical, they were able to tell what kind of pill Xiao Yu was refining.
Now that they see that the pills and herbs on Xiao Yu's stone platform haven't been touched, they know that Xiao Yu didn't refine the pills according to the ones he drew. This makes it impossible for others to tell what kind of pills he's refining.
After Luo Jingyao a deep look in Xiao Yu's direction, Luo Jingyao turned to the other three guild leaders and asked, "What kind of pill do you think Xiao Yu will refine this time?"
Mu Lanfa said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a high-grade fifth rank pill. But I think the pill formulas you give to your disciples are also high-grade fifth rank, right?"
Upon hearing Mu Lanfa's words, his Old Woman Zhang immediately sneered, "You act as if you're not a high-ranking fifth-grade cultivator!"
Mu Lanfa stroked his beard and chuckled sinisterly, "I'm not actually giving you a high-grade fifth rank pill. If you were all high-grade fifth rank pills, even if you succeeded in refining them, the quality of the pills would naturally be extremely poor. But my Mulan Empire can successfully reach the top with high-quality mid-grade fifth rank pills!"
Upon hearing this, both the Old Woman Zhang and Luo Jingyao's faces turned grim. Only Fama remained seated, his expression unchanged, and he casually picked up his teacup and took a satisfied sip.
Yan Luotian glanced at Xiao Yu in the square with a gloomy look, then said to the Mulan Three Elders and Xie Shan, "It seems that the alchemist from the Jia Ma Empire will win the Alchemist Tournament. You should inform your imperial Imperial Family now that they can prepare for action!"
Elder Tiger, one of the Mulan Three Elders, frowned slightly and said, "Now that we know the alchemist from the Jia Ma Empire will win the championship, should we still send troops to the Jia Ma Empire?"
Yan Luotian said calmly, "It's alright. My Golden Goose Sect has already investigated the entire empire. There isn't a single Dou Zong in the Jia Ma Empire right now. Even if the alchemist from the Jia Ma Empire wins the championship, it won't have a significant impact on us!"
Elder Black Bear roared, "Are you deliberately stalling for time? What do you take Mulan Valley for?"
"Third Brother, wait!" Elder Lion stopped Elder Black Bear, then gave Yan Luotian a deep look and said, "Since the Golden Goose Sect has already investigated, then let it go. We'll go back and inform the Imperial Family. However, I hope that since our three sects are one, we can obtain all the information. Sect Master Yan Luotian, your habit is very bad!"
Yan Luotian smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Rest assured, both of you. If there's anything else, the Golden Goose Sect will certainly let you know!"
Elder Lion didn't say much, but simply said, "Let's go!"
With the departure of the Mulan Three Elders, Xie Shan also left with his sect members. He needed to return and discuss things with the sect elders. Moreover, the Imperial Family's attitude towards their Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was not very clear. The Imperial Family wanted to choose between the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, but for the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, the Poison Sect Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate something they had to destroy!
After Luo Yantian watched as the people from both sects left, he asked the people around him, "How did things go on in the Tagor Desert?"
A dark figure approached Yan Luotian and said, "Elder Shi has already led his men there. The elders of the Snake People Clan are only at the Dou Wang level; I believe they will soon be able to clear the Tagor Desert!"
Yan Luotian nodded slightly and asked, "Where are Protector Jiang and Iron Protector now?"
The shadowy figure replied, "Protector Jiang should be in the Tagor Desert right now, Iron Protector should have gone to the Black Corner Region. We dare not ask for details, but you know, Sect Master!"
After giving a light "hmm," Yan Luotian said, "Understood. Go directly to the Empire and report this matter to the Imperial Family. But remember, downplay the seriousness of the situation and get the Imperial Family family to send troops as soon as possible. Also, have two elders stay in the sect, and have the rest of the elders come to Black Mountain Fortress as soon as possible!" Yan Luotian quickly gave the orders without changing his expression.
The figure in black nodded and said, "Yes, Sect Master!"
The departure of the three sects went unnoticed. The four sect leaders kept a close eye on the situation in the plaza. Half the time had already passed, and Xiao Yu was still refining the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Cauldron.
Apart from Xiao Yu, the other alchemists had all begun refining medicinal herbs and then Pill Fusion pills. Some of them even had faint fragrance of pills emanating from their Medicine Cauldron.
Although Fama said he wasn't worried, Xiao Yu's move made Fama slightly nervous. What if Xiao Yu chose a difficult Sixth Grade Pills and failed to refine it? Wouldn't that be disastrous?
Huo Yue'er glanced at Xiao Yu as well. Although she knew that the pills Xiao Yu refined were extraordinary, she wondered if the refining time he had taken was a bit too long. Huo Yue'er only glanced at them before focusing her attention on her own pills.
On the other side, Luo Tian was also looking excitedly at the pill that was gradually taking shape inside his Medicine Cauldron. This was the fifth-grade high-level pill that he had chosen to refine this time. Originally, if he were to refine this pill, he would probably only have a 20% success rate, but under the current circumstances, he had forcefully increased that probability three times!
Seeing the fragrance of medicine emanating from Luo Tian's Medicine Cauldron, Zhao Feiyun and Zhao Feilong of the Mulan Empire also put all their efforts into refining their Medicine Cauldron, a phenomenon that only occurs when the pills are refined to their fullest potential. Luo Tian also noticed this and frowned immediately.
It was clear that although Zhao Feiyun and Zhao Feilong's pills were not of the same grade as his, their quality was better. After snorting, Luo Tian calmed down and focused on polishing the pills, trying to improve their quality even further!
Meanwhile, Yan Xixi, Xiao Yu, and Huo Yue'er were completely unaffected by them and continued to concentrate on refining the pills in front of them!
More than half the time had passed, Fama's heart was in his throat as he saw Xiao Yu still refining medicinal herbs!
Boom!
Just then, the flames of the Chaos Flame inside Xiao Yu's Medicine Cauldron suddenly grew larger. As the Chaos Flame became stronger, the last medicinal herb was extracted.
Xiao Yu let out a breath of turbid air. The refining of the Scarlet Soul Fruit was still too troublesome. If the Chaos Flame was too strong, the Scarlet Soul Fruit would be burned. Now that all the medicinal materials have been refined, the next step is to Pill Fusion!
Xiao Yu clenched his fist into a claw, and his powerful Soul Power surged towards the Medicine Cauldron. The powerful Soul Power, combined with the Chaos Flame and the potent medicinal properties of the herbs, caused the Medicine Cauldron in front of Xiao Yu to explode with a deafening roar!
Fama on the stage saw this, his heart skipped a beat!
"No way?" Yan Xixi was also startled by the loud noise, but Yao Yue was the calmest.
"Hey, this guy really doesn't understand his own strength. He caused an explosion in his furnace, hahaha!" Zhao Feiyun and Zhao Feilong had already finished refining the pills and saw that Xiao Yu's furnace had exploded, so they immediately started laughing.
