Tonight Was Too Noisy!

In the center of the square, Gu He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air carrying the fragrance of medicine. Even he felt a sense of exhaustion deep in his soul after continuous high-intensity refining.

He carefully put the Jade Marrow Pill into the jade bottle, then swallowed a few Qi-Recovery Pill and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing. The nearly depleted Dou Qi in his body began to slowly recover.

However, he remained completely unfazed. That brat Xiao Yan —there was no way he would give up so easily!

"Xiao Yan, can you still handle this?" Gu He thought to himself.

Although it was late at night, the entire Jia Ma Sacred City was even more bustling than during the day!

Including the one during the day, this is the fourth time tonight that Sixth-Grade Pill elixir has appeared!

Countless awakened citizens, spies from various factions, and busybodies who rushed to the scene spontaneously surged toward the Alchemist Guild and the Mittel Auction House like a tidal wave.

Unfortunately, both sides were firmly kept out and not allowed to enter.

The streets were bustling with people, and whispers filled the air, "Which Grandmaster is hiding over there at Mittel's place? How could he possibly be able to fight Pill King Gu He from afar!"

"This is clearly a contest! A challenge for the title of Pill King!"

"There's definitely more to come! Tonight will probably go down in history!"

Several Dou Wang expert from the Jia Ma Empire flew directly into the air, hoping to get a clear look at the Sixth Grade alchemist inside the Mittel Auction House.

The teahouse next door was also packed with people, and several elegantly dressed young men and women held up crystal lenses, trying to make out the figures on the Mittel Dome.

Unfortunately, a strange halo enveloped the entire Mittel Auction House, impenetrable to both sound and sight, leaving the curious group of people extremely anxious.

In addition, some people set up tables on the street and started betting on which direction the next beam of light would rise from.

Time slipped away silently amidst countless expectant gazes. Half an hour, an hour passed—

In the Alchemist Guild square, Gu He was still meditating with his eyes closed; however, there was no new movement in the direction of the Mittel Auction House.

The initial excitement gradually cooled, and voices of doubt began to spread.

"It seems that Grandmaster Mittel has run out of steam?"

"As expected, Pill King Gu He, is indeed the uncrowned king of the empire's Medicine Realm!"

"I guess there's no chance of it happening."

Jia Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu He beside him, "Grandmaster Gu He, do you know the other party's identity?"

He already had a vague idea of what was going on with Gu He's strange fighting spirit today.

Gu He's lips curled slightly, about to unleash a devastating attack!

A slightly ethereal beam of light, far less imposing than Gu He's earlier beam, suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the Mittel Auction House!

The medicinal fragrance that had been spreading also faded a bit, but it was indeed a sign that Sixth-Grade Pill had been born!

"Oh?" President Fama stroked his beard, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"It's here! Although the beam of light is a bit weak and the medicinal fragrance is faint, it is undoubtedly Sixth-Grade Pill. It seems that this mysterious Grandmaster's accumulation of Sixth Grade cultivation is still slightly inferior to Gu He's."

However, before the words were even finished, a loud bang!!!

Another deafening roar! Right next to Xiao Yan's still-undissipating pillar of light, another completely different, yet equally solid, pillar of light suddenly erupted!

"This—this is!" Fama's smile froze instantly, replaced by utter shock! He exclaimed, "A new aura of fire! A coexistence of intense heat and extreme cold—this is another Sixth Grade Alchemist?!"

"Good heavens!" Jia Xingtian gasped, shaking his head with a wry smile, "When did Sixth Grade alchemists become as common as cabbages? Two of them suddenly appeared overnight?!"

Meanwhile, Gu He, standing in the center of the square, suddenly stood up from his meditation, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the direction of the Mittel Auction House, his face filled with disbelief!

It's somewhat possible that Xiao Yan can refine Sixth-Grade Pill, but this aura—it's clearly Xiao Yi Xian! Her alchemy skills—are still far from perfect!

A tremendous amount of doubt overwhelmed Gu He's understanding. But he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and a more intense flame ignited in his eyes!

Regardless of what miracles might have occurred to them— Gu He's eyes were sharp as knives as he sat down cross-legged again, and the deep purple Beast Flame in his palm leaped out once more, throwing into the medicine cauldron.

At this moment, the only option is to fight! With Gu He's pride, he cannot allow himself to admit defeat!

On the rooftop of the Mittel Auction House, Xiao Yan had just retrieved his slightly inferior Sixth-Grade Pill when Hai Bodong's small figure suddenly appeared before him, grabbing his collar and shaking him with dissatisfaction. "Hey! Kid! Your pill is far inferior to Gu He's! Are you even capable? Don't embarrass me!"

Xiao Yan slapped Hai Bodong's little hand away impatiently. "Tch! What do you know? I'm learning a new prescription and refining it at the same time! It's my first time doing this, it's good enough that I managed to refine it at all! So what if the quality is a little off?"

He spoke toughly, but his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the lakeside, where a second beam of light had just shot into the sky.

Is Master helping Xiao Yi Xian? But this flame—it's clearly Huo Yuhao's Nine Li Ice Flame!

Many doubts arose in Xiao Yan's mind, but he did not immediately investigate. He clearly felt that he was currently in an extremely mysterious state.

With a high level of mental concentration, one's perception of flames and medicinal properties becomes exceptionally acute, and the success rate of alchemy is invisibly enhanced in this state.

He couldn't afford to be distracted! This state of mind was rare and precious! Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and retrieved a new Sixth-Grade Pill formula from his Storage Ring, immersing himself in it once more.

"It's a success!"

On the lakeside, Xiao Yi Xian held the pill with two- Pill Pattern in her hand, her eyes shining with excitement.

On the grass nearby, Yao Chen, who was dozing off wrapped in a small blanket, was awakened by their cheers.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, threw off the blanket, sat up, and yawned widely. "Ugh—what time is it? Are you guys really planning to stay up all night with that kid Gu He?"

Seeing the fighting spirit burning in their eyes, he shook his head helplessly. "If you ask me, why don't you wait until that silly boy Xiao Yan can't hold on anymore, then you can go up and take over. I guarantee you'll exhaust Gu He to the point of collapse."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smile, "Teacher, we don't just want to beat Senior Gu He."

His gaze swept over Xiao Yan's figure on the distant rooftop. "We also plan to have a match with Xiao Yan!"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao took out a scroll of different Sixth-Grade Pill formulas and began to study them with Xiao Yi Xian. The light of the Nine Li Ice Flame once again glowed Youyou on the lakeside.

For the next few hours, the entire Jia Ma Sacred City seemed to be celebrating a festival! Every hour or so, three beams of light would erupt in succession, as if by prior arrangement, rising and falling one after another.

The soaring light illuminated the night as if it were daytime, and continued until the real sun rose without showing any sign of stopping.
