The Only Pill to Be Completed!
Just as Xiao Lin was using his power as a Spirit Array Master to secretly seize control of the Yao Clan's protective array, several days had already passed since Xiao Yan, Old Man Shennong, Hun Xuzi, and Yao Wanhuo began refining Medicinal Pills.
What the four of them were trying to refine was, after all, Ninth-Grade Profound Pill. It was simply unrealistic to complete it so quickly!
Even in the early days of the Medicine Ceremony, it took Yao Tian several days to refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pills. Now, it's not surprising that it will take even longer for Xiao Yan and his group to refine Ninth-Grade Profound Pills.
However, apart from Xiao Lin, who didn't pay much attention to the medicine-making process, no one at the scene found such an exciting match boring.
Because this represents a competition between the very top Alchemists on the entire Dou Qi Continent!
Even those present who were not Alchemists could feel the special atmosphere, which heightened their interest.
Of course, if they knew that the Hun Clan would soon be wiping out everyone currently in the Yao Clan, they probably wouldn't be in the mood to continue watching the Medicine Ceremony competition...
Meanwhile, after several days of competition, the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill refined by Xiao Yan and the other three had all become nascent pills.
However, at this point, the four of them had no other choice.
Because the four of them were simultaneously refining Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, the result was that all the energy of heaven and earth in the Medicine Realm was absorbed by the four of them at once.
Although the Medicine Realm exists, it continues to draw in the energy of the outside world.
However, the speed at which the Medicine Realm absorbs the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world is far less than the energy of heaven and earth needed by the four people to refine the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill.
So, isn't that just awkward?
Many people at the scene already had a good idea of what was going on.
Now, let's see how the four of them deal with this situation.
If this continues, all four of them will inevitably fail to refine the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill at the same time!
Because the energy of this world is only sufficient for refining one Ninth-Grade Profound Pill at the moment.
Then, needless to say.
If the four of them want their nascent cores to take shape, they will have no choice but to seize the energy of heaven and earth that the other three of them had previously absorbed.
Even worse... they steal the nascent pills that others have already half-finished!
"Boom"
As the four were refining elixirs, a battle for the energy of heaven and earth erupted...
Needless to say, who else but Shehun Hun Xuzi would have made the first move?
After all, the rest—whether it's Old Man Shennong, Yao Wanhuo, or Xiao Yan —wouldn't act so shamelessly.
But Hun Xuzi was different; he didn't care about these things at all.
Moreover, aside from Hun Xuzi, the other three would only try to steal from Hun Xuzi if they were to do so.
However, even if they managed to seize the energy of heaven and earth that Hun Xuzi had absorbed, they still couldn't help their nascent cores become Ninth-Grade Profound Pill!
Therefore, after realizing this, Xiao Yan and the other two were conflicted.
However, before the three of them could hesitate for long, Hun Xuzi made the first move against them.
With the power of the Nihility Devouring Flame's Earth Sub-Flame, coupled with the sudden attack of Hun Xuzi, the Medicinal Pill properties of the nascent pill refined by Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo were directly disrupted.
If the medicinal properties of Medicinal Pill are disrupted before it is fully formed, it will be very difficult to transform it into a pill again, even if all the conditions are subsequently met.
Even if it were to become a fully formed pill, the Medicinal Pill's effects might still mutate!
As for the mutations in Medicinal Pill, if there are ten, there's a high probability that nine of them will be bad mutations!
The case of the Pill Tower Ancestor is one of those mutations that might only occur once in a thousand attempts.
At the same time, Hun Xuzi also naturally absorbed a large amount of heaven and earth energy from the latter two.
"Boom!"
Meanwhile, the embryonic core within Hun Xuzi's cauldron was rapidly progressing towards becoming a fully formed core.
From this, it is already clear that Hun Xuzi's methods are slightly superior to those of Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo.
Of course, now that Hun Xuzi has made a move, he certainly won't let Xiao Yan go!
However, unlike when facing Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo, things did not go as smoothly.
When he tried to take advantage of the spiritual energy Xiao Yan had absorbed, he ended up doing Xiao Yan a favor instead...
The Nihility Devouring Flame possesses the terrifying characteristic of devouring everything!
Its Child Flame naturally inherited this trait as well.
This is also why, even while concealing his true strength, Hun Xuzi was still able to forcibly seize the energy of heaven and earth from Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo.
Because the "devouring" attribute of the Nihility Devouring Flame is indeed a bug.
Therefore, neither Old Man Shennong nor Yao Wanhuo had a good way to deal with it.
Yao Wanhuo's Nine Nether Wind Flame was no match for Hun Xuzi's Void Nihility Devouring Flame's Earth Sub-Flame.
As for Old Man Shennong's Life Spirit Flame, well, I'm sorry, it's really not good at killing!
However, Hun Xuzi's invincible Nihility Devouring Flame's Earth Sub-Flame went silent in front of Xiao Yan...
Both of them were hiding their true strength.
However, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame that Xiao Yan possesses is several levels stronger than the Nihility Devouring Flame's Earth Sub-Flame of Hun Xuzi!
Therefore, the latter's attempt to seize the energy of heaven and earth that Xiao Yan had absorbed was nothing short of a pipe dream.
It should be noted that the Purification power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is on par with the devouring power of the Nihility Devouring Flame.
When the Nihility Devouring Flame is strong, it can devour the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame; conversely, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can also Purification the Nihility Devouring Flame!
The current Nihility Devouring Flame is significantly stronger than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
However, the fact that the Nihility Devouring Flame is stronger than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has nothing to do with its Child Flame Nihility Devouring Flame!
Therefore, when Hun Xuzi manipulated the Nihility Devouring Flame's Earth Sub-Flame to try to devour the energy of heaven and earth that Xiao Yan had absorbed, he ended up being the one who sent the energy.
Not only that, but then the newly born Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Spirit, Xiao Yi, made her move, rushing directly into Hun Xuzi's fire cauldron. To everyone's astonishment, she carried away the half-finished embryonic core that Hun Xuzi had been refining...
That hilarious scene completely broke Hun Xuzi's defenses.
Therefore, he no longer cared about the Medicine Ceremony and wanted to kill Xiao Yan directly!
However, Yao Wanhuo and Old Man Shennong had long disliked Hun Xuzi, simultaneously intervened and stopped him.
In addition, perhaps in order to win over and curry favor with Xiao Yan, Yao Wanhuo also gave Xiao Yan his half-finished embryonic pill.
As for Old Man Shennong, he had no prior relationship with Xiao Yan, and this was their first meeting.
However, he simply disliked Hun Xuzi, and also knew that he could not refine a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, so he also chose to help Xiao Yan.
And so, after putting the embryonic cores of Hun Xuzi, Old Man Shennong, and Yao Wanhuo into his fire cauldron, Xiao Yan, having gathered the embryonic cores of the four people including himself, finally succeeded in refining the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill!
At that moment, Pill Rain surged across the sky of the Medicine Realm!
