Above the Void Plaza, in front of the judges' seats, Xiao Yan and his two companions each stood in a different spot. The commotion in front of the seats naturally attracted the attention of many spectators in the stands.
Upon seeing these three people, everyone's eyes lit up with surprise.
Wei Yi's identity goes without saying, and the hundreds of thousands of people present are very familiar with him. As the chief alchemist of Nanlin City, Mo Zhai naturally knows a little about him as well.
However, Xiao Yan had only just obtained the qualification of Second-Tier Alchemist. In everyone's eyes, Xiao Yan was just a quasi- Second-Tier Alchemist. Although he had some foundation, how could he stand shoulder to shoulder with Mo Zhai and the other two? At this moment, the scene made everyone point fingers at Xiao Yan.
"Hey, he's just a guy who's only just obtained his Second-Tier Alchemist qualification. Even if he has some skill, he dares to provoke Senior Wei Yi and Senior Wei Yi in public. He really doesn't know his own limitations!"
"Tch, the fact that Senior Yan Xiao dared to stand up shows that he's not afraid of Elders Mo Zhai and Di. You know, he signed up for the Pill Refining Grand Meeting. If he didn't have the strength, would he be here?"
"That's right, isn't it just jealousy that Yan Xiao possesses such strength at such a young age? If you're so capable, why don't you try cultivating as well!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
The three new protagonists on stage sparked heated discussions among the audience, but ultimately, those who supported Xiao Yan outnumbered those who didn't.
After all, just a month ago, Xiao Yan had thoroughly humiliated Li Gan, the patriarch of the Li Clan. In everyone's eyes, that guy was no good, and he didn't even dare to come to the Alchemist Grand Meeting today, precisely because he was afraid of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan and his two companions completely ignored the outsiders' heated discussion. After a long while, Mo Zhai finally smiled and slowly spoke:
"Since the three of us are alchemists, then I presume that your control over flames is already quite masterful."
Upon hearing Mo Zhai's words, Wei Yi let out a cold snort, clearly quite confident in his fire control technique. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and glanced casually at Mo Zhai, remaining noncommittal.
Mo Zhai smiled again upon seeing this and continued:
"The difference in Spiritual Strength between the three of us is not significant. If we were to compete in Spiritual Strength, it would be difficult to determine a result. Therefore, we will fight with our own flames, which can be considered a quick victory. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yi frowned slightly, showing no agreement with Mo Zhai's suggestion. As for Xiao Yan, he remained extremely indifferent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Seeing that the two had no reaction, Mo Zhai's lips curled into a cold smile. He had great confidence in his flames; at least, Wei Yi's flames were no match for them.
As for Xiao Yan, in his opinion, even if Xiao Yan was also a Second-Tier Alchemist with similar strength to him, he was still just a greenhorn who had just left the mountain. What kind of divine fire could he possibly produce?
As the thought flashed through his mind, Mo Zhai's mind stirred, and within his body, an extremely domineering dark flame transformed into a serpent. After circling through Mo Zhai's meridians, it instantly struck out from his palm, swelling against the wind and transforming into a Holding Up the Heavens python hundreds of feet long, coiling in the void tens of thousands of feet above, its power awe-inspiring.
As soon as the serpent appeared, many of the contestants who were sitting cross-legged on the stone platform refining medicine heard a muffled "poof" sound from their cauldrons. Clearly, the pills they had just finished refining were destroyed by Mo Zhai's sudden attack.
At this point, even the president Gu Li, could no longer sit still. With so many contestants' alchemy being hindered, he, as the president, would have a hard time explaining himself!
" Mo Zhai! What do you think you're doing in my Alchemist Guild! This is the Alchemist Grand Meeting, not a place where you can cause trouble as you please!"
Seeing Gu Li's angry expression, Mo Zhai sneered and said:
"President Gu Li, didn't you see? There are quite a few people still refining pills. The reason those people ruined their pills just now was because they weren't focused enough while refining. My skill has helped your Alchemist Guild select many elites. Why don't you thank me, but instead blame me?"
"You..."
"Hehe, Guild Master, Brother Mo's words make sense. Our Alchemist Guild is not a shelter; not just anyone can come and go as they please!"
This time, before Gu Li could even utter a word, Wei Yi, with a mocking smile, sneered.
Upon hearing Wei Yi's words, Mo Zhai raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that the relationship between Wei Yi and Gu Li was indeed, as the outside world said, almost like that of enemies!
Wei Yi's words clearly made many of the alchemists present look rather gloomy. If Wei Yi hadn't been so powerful and the chief alchemist of the Alchemist Guild, many of them would probably have rushed onto the judges' panel to kill him!
As soon as Wei Yi finished speaking, his mind moved, and he opened his mouth wide, a ball of cyan-gold flame instantly transforming into a pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, the cyan-gold flames appeared in mid-air alongside the serpent. After several transformations, it became a rather ferocious-looking demonic beast, baring its fangs and roaring incessantly in the air, glaring angrily at the serpent. It seemed that a battle between these two beasts was inevitable!
As the two enraged beasts ascended into the sky, Mo Zhai and his companion both turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan, their eyes filled with disdain.
"Brother Yan Xiao, now that Brother Wei and I have both shown our skills, it's your turn, Brother Yan Xiao."
Mo Zhai was clearly certain that Xiao Yan couldn't produce any renowned flames, so he raised his voice so loudly that everyone in the square could hear him clearly and their gazes involuntarily turned towards him.
Xiao Yan's expression turned cold as he watched Mo Zhai's move. He hadn't provoked this guy, and even though he had participated in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, he didn't deserve to be treated like this!
With his eyes narrowed, Xiao Yan glared at Mo Zhai, causing Mo Zhai to involuntarily shiver. However, Mo Zhai then gave Xiao Yan a cold smile, and the coldness he felt towards Xiao Yan dissipated completely.
In Mo Zhai's view, he was a Second-Tier Alchemist, and even Eight-Star Half-Emperor would not dare to easily oppose him. Xiao Yan was only a Three-Star Half-Emperor, and even if he had the strength to surpass three stars, he would absolutely not be able to do anything to him.
Ignoring Mo Zhai's sneer, Xiao Yan's only concern at this moment was the Crimson Flame Crystal that Mo Zhai had taken out. If it weren't for that, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been interested in playing any games with him.
With a slight smirk, Xiao Yan looked up at Mo Zhai, stretched out his hand in front of Mo Zhai, and Mo Zhai looked at Xiao Yan with a disdainful smile, without saying a word.
With a thought, the Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yan's body surged forth instantly. Earlier, when those two balls of flame appeared, the Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yan's body had already begun to rage. If Xiao Yan hadn't suppressed it, these two giant beasts probably wouldn't have had a chance to run wild in this vast sky.
"Puff"
With a muffled thud, brilliant colorful flames erupted from Xiao Yan's palm. In an instant, the flames in the medicine cauldrons of all the contestants in the arena were extinguished, and the unfinished pills were reduced to ashes once again.
Above, the two fiery demonic beasts that had been roaring at each other earlier instantly transformed into docile sheep. Their massive bodies rapidly shrank, and they flew down to hover around the Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand, emitting submissive growls.
Mo Zhai and Wei Yi were stunned for a moment, as were Gu Li and Chi Lin, who were sitting in the stands. They stared at the flame in Xiao Yan's palm, their eyes filled with shock.
After a long while, as if they had agreed beforehand, the crowd spoke in unison:
" Heavenly Flames!"
