Above the Void Plaza, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Zhai waved his hand, and a long, black, fiery whip instantly formed. With a thought, he slammed it fiercely towards the medicine cauldron in the void.
But the expected roar did not come the next moment. The pitch-black flames completely covered the cauldron the instant they touched it, refining both the inner and outer layers at the same time!
On the stone platform, Xiao Yan frowned slightly as he watched Mo Zhai's move. From the moment Mo Zhai made his move, he clearly sensed that Mo Zhai's Spiritual Strength had suddenly increased significantly. It was precisely because of this that Mo Zhai dared to make such a bold move.
Although that power was disappearing as Mo Zhai wielded it recklessly, Xiao Yan felt increasingly uneasy. Could it be that this guy was hiding his true strength?
Judging from his rapidly diminishing Spiritual Strength, it doesn't seem like he's hiding his strength; rather, it seems like some kind of temporary power.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan frowned even more deeply. Could it be that there was some secret technique on this Origin Martial Continent that could temporarily enhance Spiritual Strength?
But compared to Xiao Yan's confusion, Gu Li and Chi Lin on the referee's stand were staring at Mo Zhai in the arena below with grim expressions. The two of them really wished they could immediately strike and kill him with lightning speed!
" Blood Soul Pill! That beast!"
At this moment, even Elder Xuan, who was hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but curse under his breath. Clearly, he also hated Mo Zhai's behavior to the core!
The young man beside him sneered, using his Brushing Jade Fan to suppress Elder Xuan, who was itching to get up and attack, and spoke again in a calm voice:
"No need to rush. Seeing this kind of tactic, there should be people even more anxious than us. This foolish old man will naturally be dealt with by someone..."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan snorted angrily, sat down again, and turned his cold gaze to Xiao Yan instead of looking at Mo Zhai.
At this moment, Gu Li and Li were just as the young man had described: Elder Xuan was anxious, and they were filled with indignation!
The method that Mo Zhai is using at this moment is strictly prohibited by the Pill Tower!
By using the power of elixirs to greatly enhance one's Spiritual Strength in a short period of time, although this might be able to turn the tide at a crucial moment in refining elixirs, the method of refining such elixirs is something that all alchemists have abandoned!
That is, to transform living beings into pills!
If we're talking about refining a person's soul like Xiao Yan, that could be considered a direct annihilation, and that method is barely acceptable. But if it's like Mo Zhai's method, it's far more cruel!
The process of transforming a living being into a pill requires a complete human body and flesh as the Nascent Pill, and a human soul as the medicinal guide. The body is refined and condensed into Formed Pill, and then the soul is sealed inside. This method causes the soul to gradually die in an extremely slow process, and the pain involved is unimaginable!
Some of these pills might not be consumed until the soul within them is completely consumed, making their cruelty utterly appalling!
Moreover, this kind of pill is not only made in a cruel way, but it also does no good to people after they are ingested. On the contrary, it will plant a trace of resentment in the depths of the soul of the person who has been consumed. There are many people on the continent who have gone mad because they have ingested too much of this kind of pill, and such people usually do not have a good ending.
It is precisely for this reason that the Pill Tower strictly prohibits the making of such pills. If anyone is found to be making them, the Pill Tower will immediately dispatch powerful experts to forcibly eliminate them!
Blood Soul Pill is another name for this kind of pill that transforms life into power, referring to a pill that specifically enhances Spiritual Strength.
Another name for it is Blood Spirit Pill, which is specifically used to enhance Dou Qi or Origin Qi. Although the names are different, the methods are equally cruel!
At this moment, the powerful aura emanating from Mo Zhai quickly dissipated, and Gu Li and the other watched helplessly as Mo Zhai swallowed the pill.
After all, Mo Zhai's aura had completely dissipated. Even if the two of them made a move now, they wouldn't be able to take Mo Zhai down. In this situation, not many people recognized something as cruel as the Blood Soul Pill. If they made a move, they would inevitably be counterattacked by the other party.
Therefore, Gu Li and Li could only watch helplessly as Mo Zhai continued in this manner.
Seeing the gloomy yet helpless expressions on Gu Li's and the other's faces, Mo Zhai sneered. With a wave of his hand, the surging black flames quickly dissipated, and the medicinal herbs in the cauldron, just like those in Xiao Yan, were ready for final refining.
Xiao Yan ignored this. He didn't know what had happened to Mo Zhai, but he knew it was time to refine the medicinal herbs in his cauldron.
As Mo Zhai returned the medicine cauldron to its original position, the lively atmosphere in the room returned to calm. However, the scene inside the two people's medicine cauldrons was quite different.
Under the intense heat of the fire, the various medicinal herbs were gradually refined. The useless parts were gradually removed from the outermost layer, turning into dust that fell to the bottom of the cauldron.
As these medicinal materials are slowly refined, the essence of the medicinal materials, in various forms such as powder, droplets, or viscous substances, is gradually extracted from them.
Originally, medicinal herbs were the size of a palm or the thickness of an arm. After being refined and extracted, the remaining essence was less than one-tenth of the original amount.
This precisely demonstrates the preciousness of these medicinal herbs.
Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
Although the most difficult period of refining has passed, in order to extract sufficiently pure medicinal essence, the extracted parts still need to undergo a second refining process with flames.
This process is like a sieve, constantly filtering out impurities from the medicinal materials. Only in this way can the alchemist ensure that the final pill is of good quality, which is a testament to the alchemist's ability.
Although the refining process had been extremely boring for several days in a row, not all the spectators left; many stayed to watch.
Although these viewers are not all alchemists, they can still learn something from it. After all, regardless of whether they can understand Xiao Yan and Mo Zhai's alchemy techniques, they are all genuine Half-Emperor.
Even their smallest tricks are unimaginable to these Dou Zun and Dou Sheng.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since Xiao Yan and Mo Di began refining pills. During this time, Xiao Yan and Mo Zhai opposite him were completely focused on the changes in the cauldron until the medicinal materials were refined to a sufficiently pure state.
A week has passed, and the hundred kinds of medicinal herbs in Xiao Yan have long since disappeared. At this moment, all that can be seen are some liquids or powders of various colors.
As the last drop of Dragon Saliva Liquid in the cauldron was refined, Xiao Yan's tense heart finally relaxed.
Without much hesitation, the moment the drop of Dragon Saliva Liquid was completely refined, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the lid of the Myriad Beast Cauldron opened with a bang. Streams of light enveloped in Heavenly Flames flew out and, under Xiao Yan's mental control, were placed into jade bottles.
"Call..."
Xiao Yan exhaled softly, glanced at Mo Zhai opposite him who was also preparing the medicinal herbs, smiled, and then his gaze returned to the medicine cauldron in front of him.
"Next, it's time to Pill Fusion and refine the medicine!"
With a murmur in his heart, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He opened his mouth wide, and a large ball of Heavenly Flames burst forth, instantly surging into the Myriad Beast Cauldron in front of him. The raging Heavenly Flames burned once more.
