Pill Markings, Victory!

Pill Markings, Victory!

Nine Heavens Pavilion, plaza.

Once both sides were ready, Mei Changsu solemnly announced, "The pill duel begins!"

As soon as Mei Changsu finished speaking, Fa Wutian and Liu Yu skillfully took out their respective cauldrons and began refining Healing Hui Pills in an orderly manner.

Watching both of them remain calm and composed, Mei Changsu stroked his beard with a smile.

This book was first published on Tiantian Kan Novels. Its extensive collection allowed you to read freely, offering an error-free and properly ordered reading experience.

However, when he saw the mysterious patterns emerging on the Reincarnation Cauldron as the temperature within rose, the smile on his face immediately froze.

"This pill cauldron is no simple thing! It seems this boy's master is certainly not some common nobody!"

Although he was somewhat curious about Fa Wutian's master, he still decided not to ask.

After all, it was none of his business. He only needed to preside over this pill duel properly.

As for everything else, that was the students' own fortune!

It was not only Mei Changsu—even Liu Yu, who was competing, had his attention drawn to Fa Wutian's Reincarnation Cauldron.

His intuition told him that this cauldron was far from ordinary!

It was precisely because he was distracted for that brief moment that the temperature under his control suddenly rose by a level, causing the medicinal ingredients inside the cauldron to fail to withstand it and turn directly into ash!

The tremendous energy within the cauldron erupted as well!

"Not good, the cauldron is going to explode!"

Seeing this, Liu Yu cried out and hurriedly withdrew his flames!

But it was already too late.

Boom!

A tremendous blast rang out, and the entire plaza trembled as though the earth itself were shaking.

Liu Yu was sent flying backward by the shockwave of the explosion.

Cough, cough.

Liu Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as though his internal organs had shifted out of place. The pain was excruciating.

Fortunately, his life was not in danger! However, the cauldron explosion had also injured his soul force.

At the same time, it meant that he had only one final chance left!

The Medicine Gang had prepared only four sets of ingredients, so he and Fa Wutian each had two sets.

If he failed to refine the next set of ingredients successfully, then his defeat would be inevitable!

But the shockwave from that explosion had been so powerful. Fa Wutian must have been disturbed as well, so he had probably wasted this set of ingredients too, right?

Then he looked toward Fa Wutian, hoping that the other man had wasted his ingredients just as he had.

But what happened next left him dumbfounded!

Fa Wutian had not been affected at all! In fact, the ingredients in his cauldron had already been completely refined into medicinal liquid by his beast flame!

Liu Yu could hardly believe it.

How had Fa Wutian remained unaffected by the shockwave?

After all, the commotion from that cauldron explosion had not been minor!

What he did not know was that just as the shockwave was about to affect Fa Wutian, the Reincarnation Cauldron had blocked it!

As the foremost cauldron beneath the heavens, the mysterious patterns on the Reincarnation Cauldron were not merely decorations!

To a certain extent, it could help an alchemist resist interference from the outside world.

At the same time, it could help an alchemist control the heat more effectively and improve the quality of the pill!

Moreover, even without the Reincarnation Cauldron's protection, that little disturbance could not have affected Fa Wutian.

After all, his soul realm was not made of paper!

As someone at the Mortal Realm Peak, he could easily spare part of his attention to resist the shockwave!

Although Liu Yu did not know how Fa Wutian had dealt with it, he knew that there could be no more accidents during the next refinement!

Thus, he immediately threw the final set of ingredients into his cauldron and began refining with his full concentration.

Mei Changsu, standing on the high platform, could not help nodding in approval.

He had seen everything that had just happened.

Although Fa Wutian's mysterious cauldron had blocked the shockwave for him, Mei Changsu knew that even without it, Fa Wutian could have easily resolved the crisis.

Because from the moment Fa Wutian arrived, Mei Changsu had vaguely sensed that Fa Wutian's soul force was anything but ordinary for a Fourth-Rank Alchemist!

He had only felt this sensation from that Pill Emperor.

But that Pill Emperor was a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!

How could Fa Wutian, at such a young age, possibly be a Sixth-Rank Alchemist?

Yet that feeling was undeniably real. It could not deceive him!

So, he wanted to see whether Fa Wutian would reveal any flaws in the coming pill duel.

However, before Fa Wutian revealed any flaws, his pill cauldron had already caught Mei Changsu's attention.

After all, there were only two things that could attract an alchemist: one was a Heavenly Flame, and the other was a pill cauldron!

After seeing Fa Wutian's unfathomable cauldron and linking it with his profound soul force, Mei Changsu knew that Liu Yu was bound to lose!

After all, when your fundamentals were inferior to someone else's, did you still expect to win through luck?

As time passed bit by bit, Fa Wutian finally completed his refinement.

After withdrawing the Azure Flame, Fa Wutian took the Healing Hui Pill out of the Reincarnation Cauldron.

The Healing Hui Pill was wreathed in pill fragrance, and several winding patterns were engraved upon its surface!

Mei Changsu was greatly shocked at the sight.

"Pill markings?! This boy actually refined pill markings?"

Hearing Mei Changsu's words, Liu Yu was so startled that his hands paused, nearly causing another cauldron explosion.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted himself and stabilized the medicinal liquid in his cauldron.

However, he also knew that he had already lost this pill duel!

After all, he had never refined a pill with pill markings!

Pill markings were proof of an alchemist's superb pill-refining skill!

They were also a symbol of an alchemist's knowledge and understanding of pills!

Among alchemists, those capable of refining pill markings held extremely lofty status.

Because every step they took had been tempered through countless trials!

That was why they were the outstanding figures among alchemists!

Even so, Liu Yu had no intention of giving up!

After all, losing to Fa Wutian was not frightening. What was frightening was losing to himself!

If he gave up on himself because of this, then he would not be worthy of being an alchemist!

Seeing that Liu Yu continued refining the Healing Hui Pill without being affected, Mei Changsu felt somewhat gratified.

It seemed that the little fellow he had casually taught years ago had grown up as well!

Meanwhile, seeing that Liu Yu was still refining, Fa Wutian could not help feeling respect for him.

After all, not everyone possessed such a mindset!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Liu Yu finally refined a Healing Hui Pill ten minutes later.

Although this Healing Hui Pill could not compare with Fa Wutian's, it was still a high-grade Healing Hui Pill.

Seeing this, Liu Yu said helplessly, "You win! I will honor my promise and give one-third of the pill market belonging to the Medicine Gang to your Nine Heavens Pavilion! At the same time, I will no longer come looking for trouble with the Nine Heavens Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Fa Wutian smiled and cupped his hands. "Thank you."

"Don't thank me. You earned this!"

After saying that, Liu Yu did not linger and simply turned to leave.

Seeing this, the members of the Medicine Gang also followed Liu Yu away in disgrace.

When the people of the Nine Heavens Pavilion saw that Fa Wutian had won, they immediately rushed forward, lifted him above their heads, and began cheering.

"Long live the Pavilion Master! The Pavilion Master is mighty!"

"Long live the Pavilion Master! Long live! Long, long live!"

Amid everyone's cheers, Fa Wutian accepted their praise with a beaming smile.

Seeing this, Mei Changsu quietly left.
