Grade-Seven Pill Lightning Descends!

Fa Ma, Gu He, and Jia Xingtian were all stunned. Hadn't Xiao Tian said he was a Grade-Six Alchemist before? How was he refining a grade-seven pill?

Could it be...

The few of them exchanged looks, disbelief written across their faces. There was only one possibility: when Xiao Tian broke through to the Dou Zong realm yesterday, his soul power had already reached Grade Seven.

Ya Fei stared at Xiao Tian with her beautiful eyes, utterly shaken. Never in her life had she encountered such a peerless genius.

Ya Ye also watched Xiao Tian without blinking, a trace of anticipation in her eyes. If he truly could refine a grade-seven pill, what kind of talent would that be?

She and he were simply not on the same level.

In the distance, Xiao Yan watched everything unfold and sighed. "Big Brother is too outstanding."

A look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Xun'er's usually calm face. Her fair cheeks faintly flushed with the stirrings of her emotions, and her cherry lips parted slightly without her realizing it.

Even though she had been paying attention to Xiao Tian lately, she had never expected him to be this monstrous.

A Grade-Seven Alchemist—he had broken through just like that!

Even within the Ancient Clan, such a genius was exceedingly rare.

Uncle Xiao's family was destined to rise.

It was just that... would those people truly wish to see the Xiao Clan rise? No matter what happened, she would protect the Xiao Clan.

Gu Xun'er revealed a faint smile and looked at him with her bright, beautiful eyes. "Brother Xiao Tian is indeed amazing, but Brother Xiao Yan, you have to work hard too!"

"Xun'er has always believed in Brother Xiao Yan."

Medicine Elder appeared at the most inappropriate moment, crying out in shock, "Brat, your brother has begun."

"However, your master's alchemy is extremely formidable. I imagine your brother still cannot compare to this old man."

"This old man was a genius from childhood, hahaha!"

After all, he was the Venerable Yao, renowned across the continent. He was still extremely confident in his alchemy.

"Teacher, were you even more impressive than my brother at his age?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

Medicine Elder stroked his beard and smiled. "Of course. At your brother's age, this old man had already reached... Grade Six. Cough, cough. At the very least, Grade Eight!"

Xiao Yan was greatly startled. "That impressive?"

"Needless to say. So study hard under your master. You still have a long road ahead of you," Medicine Elder said with a smile.

At that moment, Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why is Xiao Tian refining pills without a cauldron?"

Gu He and Fa Ma shook their heads as well. By all rights, one was necessary.

But the next instant, Xiao Tian raised his finger, and a wisp of Samadhi True Fire appeared at his fingertips.

Seeing the miraculous flame dancing there, everyone was once again astonished.

"What a powerful flame!"

"Could this be one of the legendary Heavenly Flames?"

Someone cried out in shock.

Fa Ma narrowed his eyes. "The Heavenly Flame Ranking has no record of this kind of Heavenly Flame. Xiao Tian called it Samadhi True Fire that day. It should be an undiscovered Heavenly Flame."

The feeling that Samadhi True Fire gave off was far too powerful. If it was not a Heavenly Flame, what else could it be? It could only be a Heavenly Flame.

Because beast flames could never reach such a level.

Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes widened, and she was even more shocked as she looked at the Samadhi True Fire. She could sense the terror of those flames. They were no weaker than the Ancient Clan's Golden Emperor Incinerating Heaven Flame—perhaps even stronger.

Could Uncle Xiao Xuan have left it behind? She was deeply curious. Heavenly Flames of this level were extraordinarily difficult to subdue, and with Brother Xiao Tian's current strength, it should have been impossible.

Not to mention that he had only been a Dou Emperor before.

Xiao Xun'er grew increasingly curious about Xiao Tian's mysterious nature.

Her clear, bright eyes stared fixedly at him.

They were filled with shock.

Ya Fei and Ya Ye sat in their chairs, equally stunned. Of course, they knew how difficult it was to subdue a Heavenly Flame. Not a single person in the Jia Ma Empire possessed one.

Now they felt that Xiao Tian was even more exceptional, an existence far beyond their reach.

Yaoyue blinked, secretly thinking, How wonderful would it be if Sister could marry Xiao Tian!

Jia Xingtian had the same thought. Such a heaven-defying talent—if Ya Ye could marry Xiao Tian, their imperial family would soar to unprecedented heights.

At that moment, Xiao Tian's thoughts stirred. The Samadhi True Fire on his finger seemed to come alive, rising into the air and transforming into a pill cauldron!

Seeing this, Fa Ma and Gu He immediately rose to their feet, their eyes filled with shock and their pupils trembling. "This... this is the legendary Flame Cauldron Transformation!"

"This technique has long been lost. It requires extraordinarily precise control over flames, allowing one to refine pills even without a cauldron."

With such a method, Xiao Tian was definitely no ordinary person. Did he perhaps have some powerful teacher behind him?

That was the only possibility they could think of. After all, an eighteen-year-old youth could not possibly possess such qualifications or experience.

If he had some mysterious teacher, it would make far more sense.

Only after calming himself did Pill King Gu He slowly sit back down. It was simply unbelievable.

Xiao Tian had kept quite a few precious medicinal ingredients he had casually taken from the Misty Cloud Sect's treasury. Yun Shan had accumulated plenty of good things, and there happened to be enough ingredients to refine the grade-seven Pure Heart Pill.

As for the ingredients for other grade-seven pills, they were insufficient. For example, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill required, at minimum, the crystal core of a sixth-rank magical beast, as well as the magic core of a dragon-type magical beast that had died no more than seven days ago.

Unlike the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, the grade-seven Pure Heart Pill could rapidly increase one's strength. Not only Xiao Tian himself, but even the Xiao Clan could quickly grow stronger. Combined with other pills, their progress would surely be astonishing.

With a flick of his hand, several precious medicinal ingredients appeared: Calamity Blood Demon Leaf, Purple Soul Flower...

Xiao Tian carefully placed the various ingredients into the pill cauldron. Each time he added one, he closely observed the cauldron's reaction before adjusting the temperature and intensity of the flames accordingly.

This process consumed an enormous amount of stamina and soul power. Of course, it also demanded a certain level of mastery over flames.

Gu He and Fa Ma kept nodding as they watched. Xiao Tian's technique was extraordinarily subtle, and they could not even understand it.

The Great Heavenly Immortal Art's ability to comprehend things was no joke. On top of that, the Seventy-Two Transformations included medical and pharmaceutical abilities.

With all sorts of buffs enhancing him now, alchemy had become much simpler for him.

Second by second, the medicinal ingredients within the pill cauldron gradually fused together, forming a viscous mass of liquid.

Xiao Tian did not let his guard down. His gaze remained focused and resolute. He knew that refining a grade-seven pill was exceptionally difficult; the slightest mistake would ruin everything.

Suddenly, the liquid within the pill cauldron began to churn violently, as though it wanted to break free from the cauldron's restraints. Xiao Tian's heart tightened, and he hastily increased the intensity of the Samadhi True Fire, trying to suppress the surging liquid.

However, the liquid churned more and more fiercely. The pill cauldron began to tremble as well, threatening to escape his control.

This was the most crucial moment. Not even the slightest error could be allowed.

Xiao Tian gritted his teeth and formed an even more complex hand seal. A powerful surge of soul power entered the pill cauldron, and under the suppression of that soul power, the churning liquid finally slowly calmed.

After a long period of time, the liquid inside the pill cauldron gradually solidified, forming a round, lustrous pill. Waves of pill fragrance spread through the air!

Everyone present caught that scent and slowly closed their eyes to savor it. It was utterly refreshing!

Seven-colored light radiated from the pill's surface, and even the air around it twisted because of its appearance!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

At that moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered over all of Wutan City. Bolts of lightning flashed through the clouds, shaking the soul.

"This... this is Pill Lightning!" Fa Ma and Gu He were both utterly shocked.

One had to know that if Pill Lightning of this level descended, Wutan City would likely be destroyed!
