The enormous medicine cauldron, as imposing as Mount Tai, crashed down like a meteorite falling from the sky. The stone platform, which had been firmly anchored in the void, trembled violently, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
The stone platform appeared to be nearly broken, as if just a little more force would shatter it completely...
The azure-gold cauldron, under the influence of that domineering blade aura, appeared slightly dimmed, yet it still couldn't conceal its imposing presence. Its profound aura, as solid as the deep sea, instilled a sense of stability in those who beheld it...
The imposing presence of this giant cauldron drew everyone's attention. The once majestic flaming cauldrons of Mo Zhai and Wei Yi now resembled ordinary incense burners, attracting no attention whatsoever...
As the medicine cauldron appeared before Xiao Yan, Gu Li, Chi Lin, Mo Zhai, and Wei Yi —the four High-Level Alchemist besides Xiao Yan— all wore expressions of profound disbelief, looking at the Xiao Yan cauldron as if they were seeing some ancient beast.
"This... this medicine cauldron... this is..."
On the judges' stand, Chi Lin and Gu Li stood up abruptly the moment they saw the medicine cauldron. Their immense aura caused the stone chairs beneath them to instantly turn into piles of lime.
At this Chi Lin, Chi Lin's cloudy old eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan. Overwhelmed by shock, he stammered, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat like a duck being choked, unable to escape...
"If this cauldron is not mistaken, it should be the Luo Heavenly Cauldron, which is listed on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!"
Ultimately, Gu Li, as the guild leader, appeared more composed. Although he was also deeply shaken by the medicine cauldron before Xiao Yan, Gu Li forcefully suppressed his emotions, and his slightly trembling hands gradually stabilized...
At this moment, Gu Li's composure as the president was finally revealed.
On the other side, Mo Zhai and Wei Yi exchanged bewildered glances. They were both deeply shaken. The more powerful Xiao Yan became, the greater the threat he posed to them. Coupled with the matter of Fang Xun and Wang Qi, it seemed their relationship with Xiao Yan had reached a point of no return...
Now, seeing the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron in front of Xiao Yan again, Mo Zhai and Wei Yi felt even more solemn.
The Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron —this is a terrifying existence ranked second on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking. Such an existence is difficult for anyone other than a powerful family to guard...
Any force capable of protecting such a divine cauldron must be a renowned power across the entire continent. The fact that Xiao Yan Xiao Yan produce such a divine cauldron, coupled with his ever-increasing and terrifying strength, makes it hard not to be suspicious!
At this moment, Wei Yi finally felt a sense of retreat. If Yan Xiao really was a direct descendant of some great family, then they would truly be courting death!
Mo Zhai frowned deeply at this, his anxiety no less than Wei Yi's. Xiao Yan's actions already matched those of a core disciple of a truly powerful force; if that were indeed the case, they feared they would have little chance of survival...
Of course, Mo Zhai was also a ruthless person. Since they couldn't afford to offend the powerful forces behind Xiao Yan, and Yan Xiao was currently all alone, although they couldn't touch him in this Ancient Wilderness City, he would inevitably have to leave eventually...
Furthermore, Fang Xun and Wang Qi haven't been seen for a month. If they were indeed killed by Xiao Yan using some means, the forces behind them wouldn't let it go easily. This is exactly what Mo Zhai wanted...
When the Void Lightning Pool is opened, the forces to which Fang Xun and Wang Qi belong will surely send people to the scene. At that time, as long as Mo Zhai tells the Fang Xun and Wang Qi, and adds some more details, Yan Xiao will naturally have even stronger opponents to deal with him...
Moreover, Wu Mohui's master is no ordinary person. If he finds out that his disciple died at Xiao Yan's hands, Xiao Yan will likely face even more trouble...
Thinking of this, Mo Zhai couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. His gaze towards Xiao Yan became more sinister, and when he saw the Luo Heavenly Cauldron, a surge of greed rose within him...
" Yan Xiao, this time, I will not only obtain your Heavenly Flames, but I will also definitely not let go of this Luo Heavenly Cauldron!"
The change in the expressions on the faces of the four people in the room caused everyone present to frown and exchange bewildered glances. When they looked at the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan, they all seemed very puzzled.
Even Old Monster Hu frowned slightly, clearly unfamiliar with the medicine cauldron before Xiao Yan. He looked at Mo Zhai, but Mo Zhai's eyes flickered, and he didn't offer any explanation...
This deepened Old Monster Hu's suspicion, but he ultimately said nothing, only secretly memorizing the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan...
After a long while, Gu Li finally managed to calm himself down. He stood tall and straight, his gaze slowly sweeping across the room, before he smiled and said:
"Hehe, alright, since the three of you have already brought out your medicine cauldrons, then I won't waste any more pleasantries. Given that you are all High-Level Alchemist with extraordinary strength, my Alchemist Guild dares not be careless. Therefore, I have brought out three volumes of Emperor Grade Pill Formula my Alchemist Guild has treasured for a long time. Of course, for the sake of fairness in the competition, these three volumes of pill formulas are all of the same grade. As for the content of the competition, it will be based on the efficacy of the final pill..."
"As everyone knows, elixirs in this world are divided into four categories: Complete Formed Pill, Complete Pill, Spirit Elixir, Supreme Elixir, and Divine Elixir. The contest between these three today will focus on this very category. The one with the highest-grade elixir will be the ultimate winner of this competition, and the elixir and its formula will belong to them!"
These words immediately stirred the hearts of everyone in the stands, including Xiao Yan, Mo Zhai, and Wei Yi.
For most alchemists, having the opportunity to see a recipe for Emperor Grade Pill Formula is a pleasant surprise. Even some well-established High-Level Alchemist may not necessarily have a few Emperor Grade Pill Formula in their possession.
Even Mo Zhai and Wei Yi probably don't have more than three scrolls of Emperor Grade Pill Formula. This shows just how amazingly tempting these Emperor Grade Pill Formula are.
For Xiao Yan, who had never had Emperor Grade Pill Formula before, Gu Li's words were an irresistible temptation. He would definitely not let go of this Emperor Grade Pill Formula!
Gu Li glanced casually at the resolute expression on Xiao Yan's face and couldn't help but smile slightly. The reason he did this was to make Xiao Yan give it his all!
By then, the Alchemist Guild's chances of winning will skyrocket again. With Wei Yi also present, the Alchemist Guild should have a near certain victory in this competition.
With a faint smile, Gu Li waved his sleeve, and the three scrolls of pill formulas were swept away by a force and flew towards the center of the square. Xiao Yan and the other two did not hesitate any longer. At the same time as the three scrolls of pill formulas flew out, the three of them also shot out and rushed towards the three scrolls of pill formulas.
"To ensure fairness in the competition, I have placed restrictions on these three volumes of pill formulas. The three High-Level Alchemist can only draw one volume. I believe all three of you understand this!"
Xiao Yan and the other two completely ignored Gu Li's words. Gu Li could only purse his lips, curse inwardly, and then turned back to the referee's seat without saying anything more.
Having lost Gu Li's control, the three volumes of pill formulas fell from the sky like shooting stars. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan and his two companions suddenly appeared in front of the three volumes of pill formulas.
Wei Yi took the lead, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Xiao Yan who was hot on his heels. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared before a scroll of pill formulas, reaching out with his large hand to grab it...
Not to be outdone, Xiao Yan behind him unleashed a flash of light, instantly using the Heavenly Severing Steps, his figure seemingly transcending the constraints of space, appearing instantly beside Wei Yi.
With a swing of his arm, an invisible force instantly blasted out, sending the pill formula that was about to be obtained by Wei Yi flying into the sky, right before Wei Yi's furious gaze.
His figure instantly appeared before another scroll of pill formulas, and before Wei Yi could arrive, he grabbed it...
"Hehehehe, Wei Yi may not be able to make it, but I'm still here. I'll take this scroll of pill formulas for now..."
Seeing the pill formula about to be in his hands, Xiao Yan rushed forward even faster, but even so, Mo Zhai was still a step ahead of him, grasping the scroll in his palm.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but show a hint of anger on his face. However, he was aware of the occasion and did not attack Mo Zhai. Instead, he instantly flashed and rushed towards another scroll of pill formulas.
"Hmph, you're just as unworthy to enjoy this volume!"
Before Xiao Yan even arrived, Wei Yi instantly appeared before the pill formula, sweeping his sleeve as if to snatch it away and leave Xiao Yan in a bind once again...
"With your abilities, Mo Zhai could barely contend with me, but what makes you think you can!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. He snorted coldly and his forward-rushing figure instantly disappeared from the spot. At the same time, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared beside Wei Yi and slammed his fist down hard on Wei Yi's face.
Upon seeing this, Wei Yi's expression changed drastically. He didn't even have time to put the pill formula into his Storage Ring. He instantly raised his arms, and his Dou Qi surged out like a tide, transforming into a Dou Qi qi shield in front of him, completely protecting his head.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's face curled into a cold smile. With a thought, his Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline erupted instantly, and the power in his fist surged once more as he slammed his fist into the Dou Qi shield.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the Dou Qi aura shield that had enveloped Wei Yi's entire head shattered after providing support for less than ten breaths, while the giant fist, still undiminished in power, slammed heavily into Wei Yi's arm.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Wei Yi's figure was instantly sent flying backward, blasted out of the Void Plaza by Xiao Yan's punch...
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
Wei Yi was blasted away, while Xiao Yan snorted coldly, put away the pill formula in his hand, glanced contemptuously at Mo Zhai was stunned in the distance, and then flashed back to his stone platform.
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the entire audience, Xiao Yan forced himself to remain calm, suppressing his excitement. With a remarkably composed expression, he took out the scroll of pill formulas and slowly opened it with both hands...
But what ultimately came into view were only seven large characters with a robust and vigorous style:
Emperor Grade Pill: Emperor Tribulation Pill!
