"Not necessarily." Whoosh!
Taking out the Bodhi Seed, Xiao Yan swept his palm through the air before him, and medicinal ingredients streamed endlessly from his Storage Ring. In the blink of an eye, they densely filled the sky above his head. A rough glance showed no fewer than a thousand varieties. Even the surrounding alchemists were slightly tongue-tied at such a terrifying quantity.
Xiao Yan paid no attention to everyone's surprise. With a light tap of his finger in the air, numerous medicinal ingredients separated from the torrent and swiftly shot into the Medicine Cauldron, where they were swallowed in one gulp by the fire dragon within.
In the sky, the densely packed medicinal ingredients formed an almost unbroken line under Xiao Yan's control, continuously pouring into the Medicine Cauldron. Within only a few minutes, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread from the cauldron, causing the surrounding space to ripple slowly.
"That many ingredients already exceed the amount needed to refine a Bodhi Pill. Is he not refining a Bodhi Pill? But why are most of those ingredients similar to the ones used for a Bodhi Pill?"
Xuan Kongzi frowned tightly and muttered.
Old Yao and the other two slowly shook their heads at his question. They too had no idea what Xiao Yan was trying to do.
"Now, we can only wait for the final result..."
The few of them sighed softly, suppressing their doubts and focusing wholeheartedly on the competition below.
Although Xiao Yan's pill refinement caused quite a stir, it did not keep everyone's gaze fixed on him. This was the Lesser Pill Tower, and those gathered here had once been master alchemists with resounding reputations across the Central Continent. Not only were their standards extremely high, but the alchemists competing alongside Xiao Yan were no pushovers either.
