"Impossible!"

"He only has purple flames and this cyan Heavenly Flame; it is absolutely impossible for him to refine a Three-Pattern Spirit Pill."

The Three-Pattern Spirit Pill.

It requires the transformation of three types of flames to be successfully refined.

As a Tier 4 medicinal pill, it allows a Dou Shi to break through and advance to become a Da Dou Shi. An ordinary Three-Pattern Spirit Pill grants a Da Dou Shi a small chance to increase their strength by one star without any medicinal backlash.

If it is a top-grade Three-Pattern Spirit Pill with three rings of pill patterns, it can allow a Da Dou Shi to increase their strength by three stars in a short period. While there is a certain degree of backlash, it only causes their strength to drop by one or two stars, which is not a major issue and poses no danger to their life.

Within the Da Dou Shi realm, one can only consume a single Three-Pattern Spirit Pill in their lifetime.

Xiao Yan watched the Three-Pattern Spirit Pill inside the pill furnace as the second ring of patterns appeared. Since he was going to refine it, he was determined to produce the top-grade version with three rings of patterns.

After a long silence.

Xiao Yan finally moved again.

At the same time.

Seeing Xiao Yan resume his actions, the other alchemists felt their attention drawn toward him. This process required a third type of flame and demanded extremely rigorous control over the fire.

"Could it be that he really possesses a third type of flame?"

As this thought emerged.

Suddenly, a cold aura emanated from Xiao Yan's position. Upon sensing this aura, everyone lost their composure; the most taboo thing in refining medicinal pills was the control of temperature.

Now that this cold aura had appeared.

Even the Dou Huang powerhouses on the platform could not help but stand up. "What is the meaning of this cold aura?"

Jia Xingtian was the first to look toward Hai Bodong.

"Hai Bodong, are you behind this?"

Hai Bodong looked at Jia Xingtian, speechless.

However, Hai Bodong knew very well what this cold aura was, because he knew that Xiao Yan possessed another cold Heavenly Flame within his body.

Fa Ma frowned.

He said, "Something is wrong. Although this aura is cold, I can sense a scorching heat within it."

"Could it be..."

Whoosh!!

"Teacher, lend me a hand!"

A ghostly white flame appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. The moment this ghostly white flame emerged.

The cold aura vanished, replaced by the scorching temperature of the flame.

"Condense for me!!"

Xiao Yan did not dare to relax in the slightest; he was not yet proficient in controlling the Bone Chilling Flame.

"This is a Heavenly Flame?"

Fa Ma finally could not hold back. "This little fellow actually has two types of Heavenly Flames on him??"

"Is he trying to get himself killed?"

Heavenly Flames were inherently the most violent things in the world. Having one exist within a human body was already the limit, let alone two. This was simply courting death!!

"This is impossible!!"

When Yan Li, the alchemist from the Cloud-Out Empire, saw that Xiao Yan had truly brought out a third type of flame—and by the looks of it, it was clearly another Heavenly Flame—his worldview shattered instantly. He stared at Xiao Yan with a ferocious expression, wishing that Xiao Yan's furnace would explode right then and there.

In fact.

Xiao Yan's situation was somewhat similar to what he had hoped for.

The pill furnace trembled incessantly.

Crack.

The sound was piercing, yet to Yan Li's ears, it was incredibly pleasant.

"Hahaha!!"

When he saw cracks appearing on Xiao Yan's pill furnace, he finally could not help but laugh out loud. "It seems the quality of your furnace is lacking! With one cold and one hot, it can no longer withstand the temperature of your flames."

"It looks like you are going to fail!"

Xiao Yan cast a cold glance at Yan Li. "It isn't over yet. If you jump to conclusions so early, I'm afraid your face will hurt later!"

Yan Li gave a disdainful laugh.

"Stubborn fellow!"

As Xiao Yan continued to increase the temperature, more and more patterns appeared on the pill furnace.

"It's almost done, I must hold on!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath.

The pill furnace reached its limit at this moment.

BOOM!!!

An explosion occurred right in front of Xiao Yan, and the escaping flame energy engulfed him completely.

Seeing Xiao Yan's furnace explode, Yan Li finally could not hold back any longer: "Out!"

A medicinal fragrance wafted through the air.

Yan Li's pill had clearly been completed, while the crowd looked at the exploding Xiao Yan with dim eyes. Had the champion of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Conference been snatched away by an alchemist from the Cloud-Out Empire?

"Bastard!"

"I must kill him today!!"

Seeing this, the fury in Jia Xingtian's heart could be imagined.

Shen Shihuang said indifferently, "It hasn't truly ended yet. Who wins and who loses is still uncertain."

Hearing Shen Shihuang's words, Jia Xingtian's anger eased slightly.

On the field, Xiao Yan's figure gradually emerged. Before him, a cluster of bone-white flames continued to burn, and inside it lay a pill with three distinct rings already visible.

"Did he succeed?"

"He actually refined it?" The Little Princess looked at Xiao Yan with an expression of disbelief.

Nalan Yanran also stared at Xiao Yan in shock.

To be able to reverse the situation under such circumstances?

At this moment, Xiao Yan was simply... too cool!

Xiao Yan reached out his hand to hold the pill for tempering. As the final flames vanished, he opened his palm, and the Three-Pattern Spirit Pill appeared before everyone's eyes: "Three-Pattern Spirit Pill!"

Xiao Yan looked at Yan Li: "Until the very last moment, no one can be certain who the final winner is!"

"Clearly, this time, you have lost!"

Seeing this, Yan Li roared, "I don't believe it! After the furnace exploded, I don't believe your pill wasn't affected in the slightest. I demand an inspection of his pill!"

Jia Xingtian was about to speak, but Fa Ma interjected, "Demanding an inspection of the pill is reasonable and fair. If we refuse, I fear they might stir up trouble over this later."

Jia Xingtian was somewhat worried: "What if?"

Fa Ma gave a cold smile.

"There are specialized people to inspect the pill; it is not his place to do so!"

Hearing this, Jia Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, there would be no problem.

Once it was confirmed that Xiao Yan's Three-Pattern Spirit Pill had no issues, Yan Li grabbed his own pill and bolted toward the exit.

"No need to rush."

"We will deal with him later," Hai Bodong said calmly.

Jia Xingtian grinned: "Hmph, this time I will let him know what a Dou Huang powerhouse is!"

"Young Master Shen, I wonder if you have any interest in coming to watch?" Jia Xingtian invited.

Shen Shihuang stood up.

"No interest."

"Since it's over, I'm leaving too!"

He waved his hand and left the venue with Ya Fei.

Within the Mittel Clan, by the pond, the system's voice rang in Shen Shihuang's ears.

"New check-in location has been refreshed."

"Please proceed to the Cloud Mist Sect to check in."

Listening to the familiar voice, a smile appeared on Shen Shihuang's face.

"A new location, the Cloud Mist Sect?"

"It seems I'll have another show to watch."

Ya Fei walked to Shen Shihuang's side and asked curiously, "Shihuang, what are your plans for the next step?"

Shen Shihuang turned his head.

"What is it?"

Ya Fei said, "Elder Hai would like to invite you out for a stroll."

Shen Shihuang shook his head.

"I have a rough idea of what this is about; I will go over and take a look when the time comes."

Ya Fei naturally understood what it was about as well.

She looked at Shen Shihuang.

"The Cloud Mist Sect is a major power. If you are unwilling, no one can force you."

Shen Shihuang smiled faintly.

"The Cloud Mist Sect?"

"Rest assured, I haven't even taken the Cloud Mist Sect to heart."

This time.

It was the best opportunity for him to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Even without Elder Hai's invitation.

He would definitely make a move.

Following Xiao Yan's life creed, in the future, that would be equivalent to gaining a provider of Heavenly Flame essence! At the very least, he could collect a few soul bodies, couldn't he?
