" The Pill Fusion and Potency Transformation Art! Could this woman be from the Beast Region?"
The woman in purple robes' words once again caused a stir in the hall.
Those in the audience seats were one thing, but the Yuan Zun experts on the platform above, who came from various clans and forces in the Central Region, inevitably had some who had heard of such heaven-defying alchemy methods and roughly judged the origin of the purple-robed woman. They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
These words immediately intensified the commotion that had just begun.
Legend has it that within a demon beast clan in the Beast Region, someone developed an incredibly powerful alchemy method. This person used lightning-fast techniques to fuse several completely different nascent Nascent Pill together, and with the Pill Fusion and Potency Transformation Art he created, he actually managed to successfully fuse them into a pill of a higher grade.
Although the final product's medicinal properties are complex and difficult to determine due to the differences in the original pharmacology of the Nascent Pill, making it impossible to evaluate it using the standards for normal pills, the existence of this alchemy method is naturally justified once the pill is made. Although such pills are inedible to ordinary human experts, they are extremely tempting to magical beasts. Therefore, many alchemists acknowledge the existence of this alchemy method, and some even praise it highly.
This led to a reverse deduction within the Pill Tower, which eventually led to the successful development of a similar method, further confirming the feasibility of the Pill Fusion and Potency Transformation Art.
However, the methods used by the Pill Tower were much gentler in comparison.
First, at least three alchemists need to work together to refine the same type of pill. Then, a fourth person needs to use external force to fuse the pill when it is in its Nascent Pill. The fusion process is extremely dangerous, and there is a risk of destroying the pill if you are not careful.
Most importantly, the final medicinal power of the pills refined using this method does not increase with the number of Nascent Pill. As a result, the amount of medicinal materials consumed in the early stages of refining these pills increases exponentially, making the high cost unprofitable. Therefore, the Pill Tower has not promoted this method.
"President Chen, even if this person's technique was indeed the Pill Fusion and Potency Transformation Art, her act of stealing other people's pills at the Pill Gathering is undeniable. Doesn't that constitute a violation of the Pill Gathering rules?"
On the platform, a middle-aged man with a gaunt face and pale complexion walked forward with a sinister expression and asked Chen Xuanling in mid-air in a deep voice. Judging from his aura, he was also a Four-Star Yuan Zun level expert.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people followed closely behind him. Looking at their faces, the three of them looked quite similar, except that one had a sallow complexion and the other had a dark green tinge.
Upon closer inspection, one of the alchemists within the barrier below resembled the three others, except that his face was flushed red.
"Brother Fang Yue, I understand your meaning perfectly well. However, the Pill Tower has long had its rules. Pill Gathering, any fights between alchemists, as long as they don't injure others or deliberately steal pills, are all reasonable actions taken for the purpose of refining pills. This is also a necessary measure by our Pill Tower to maximize the development of alchemists' talents, even though it has its drawbacks."
Chen Xuanling sighed deeply and said with a helpless expression.
Upon hearing this, the man called Fang Yue was about to argue when a sudden exclamation from within the barrier below instantly drew their attention back to him.
"My Heavenly Mystery Pill!"
Before the silver medicine cauldron, Old Freak Zhong trembled and hissed, his anger almost bursting from his old eyes.
Just now, the purple-robed woman used some unknown method to suddenly intensify the immense force pulling on the Nascent Pill in the medicine cauldron, causing Old Freak Zhong to be momentarily distracted and have the Nascent Pill snatched away. In the blink of an eye, the fragrant Nascent Pill had already flown into the mouth of the snake head skull in the purple-robed woman's palm.
Enraged, Old Freak Zhong disregarded the Pill Gathering and glared furiously at the purple-robed woman in mid-air. He then grabbed the medicine cauldron in front of him and frantically poured Silver Shard Flame into it. The fierce flames overflowed from the cauldron, creating a terrifying spectacle.
To prove himself and become famous throughout the continent, Old Freak Zhong has participated in the Pill Gathering without interruption for many years. Even when he failed repeatedly, he never lost heart. Now, with the Pill Gathering championship within reach, his Nascent Pill was taken away at this critical moment. How could he possibly tolerate this?
"You vile woman, you've gone too far!"
After a loud shout, Old Freak Zhong suddenly flung the huge silver medicine cauldron in his hand at the woman in purple robes. At the same time, his hands quickly formed hand seals, and the Power of the Great Dao rapidly condensed behind him, gradually transforming into a huge silver bell. With a slight tremor, a soul-stirring buzzing sound emanated from it.
" Zhong Yin, you mustn't act impulsively! Things have come to this point; it's better to come back at the next Pill Gathering!"
Seeing Old Freak Zhong's furious behavior, Yuwen Zong, who was outside the barrier, couldn't help but change his expression and tried to dissuade him through telepathy.
Although the barrier was strange, it seemed to be formed by some kind of yin energy, so it did not affect the communication between the inside and outside of the barrier. It was precisely because he realized this that Yuwen Zong hurriedly sent a telepathic message to stop it.
Zhong Yin had attended the Pill Gathering many times, so they had some acquaintance. Not to mention that Zhong Yin's cultivation was inferior to that of the purple-robed woman even in his prime, with his greatly depleted Origin Qi at the moment, he was even less likely to fight against her. If the purple-robed woman really held a grudge, it would be a big problem.
Moreover, the current situation also concerns the rules and reputation of the Pill Tower, so Yuwen Zong had no choice but to speak up and stop it.
However, when Zhong Yin threw the medicine cauldron, the woman in purple robes seemed to have expected it. She placed the snake skull in her palm in mid-air, then slowly raised her arm. Her sleeve slipped down, revealing a section of her snow-white forearm. Upon closer inspection, several small snakes were faintly tattooed on it. Upon further inspection, these small snakes were actually hidden under the skin, which was quite eerie.
As the woman in purple robes gently sliced her raised wrist with her other hand, blood gushed out, and the small snakes seemed to come alive, crawling out of the wound and quickly twisting and solidifying into seven enormous pythons.
One of them, as its body solidified, did not hesitate to collide directly with the oncoming silver cauldron, and after a brief stalemate, successfully blocked it.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhong Yin's rage was instantly suppressed, and his eyes regained their clarity. The enormous silver bell formed by the Power of the Great Dao behind him also shrank several times, and in a flash, it stood guard on either side of the returning silver medicine cauldron.
" Nine Netherworld Python!"
