On the stands, Elder Xuan and Luo Jin slowly exchanged glances, both with expressions of utter shock. Xiao Yan before them had truly shattered their understanding of him time and time again!
First came the Heavenly Flames, then that terrifying Dou Technique, the Emperor Seal Art, the ultimate skill of the Central Region family, the enviable Heavenly Cauldron Ranking Medicine Cauldron, and now, there is even more—the secret technique of the Pill Tower — the Pill Transformation Ring!
Any one of these things, if taken out at random, would drive the entire continent into a frenzy!
Right now, all these things are actually on Xiao Yan alone. This inevitably makes people like Luo Jin suspicious: what exactly is Xiao Yan's identity?!
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was in the arena, slowly stood up from the stone platform. He turned around, his gaze falling on the Emperor Tribulation Pill, a smile appearing on his lips. Then, his gaze shifted to Mo Zhai on the other side, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Xiao Yan and Mo Zhai locked eyes, Xiao Yan slightly raising his chin, and Xiao Yan smiled:
"I want the championship!"
Xiao Yan's words were met with a cold laugh from Mo Zhai. Although he didn't know why the Emperor Tribulation Pill had obediently returned, at least Xiao Yan Emperor Tribulation Pill n't yet subdued it, while Mo Di already held his Sumeru Pill in his palm. In any case, Mo Zhai had won, so what gave Xiao Yan the right to make such boastful remarks!
"Hmph! You can't even retrieve the pills, how can you possibly compete with me for the championship!"
Mo Zhai slowly raised his withered hand, and opened it to reveal a perfectly round pill standing in his palm. As his palm opened, a rich fragrance of the pill spread out, making everyone feel refreshed. Emperor Grade Pill, truly extraordinary!
Seeing Mo Zhai's triumphant expression, Xiao Yan slowly shook his head, then turned his gaze back to the Emperor Tribulation Pill. At this moment, the Emperor Tribulation Pill still had a human appearance almost identical to Xiao Yan's. Although its face appeared solemn, it seemed unwilling to submit.
Xiao Yan chuckled upon seeing this. Even with the Pill Transformation Ring enveloping him, he was still thinking about how to get rid of himself. This Emperor Tribulation Pill was truly something else.
"Heh, what, still struggling? Do you want me to take care of you myself?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tribulation Pill's expression changed once again. Although he didn't know what the thing around him was, he could feel an extremely terrifying pressure emanating from it. This pressure was not effective on everyone, but was specifically used to suppress the intelligence of pills!
Thus, his heart became even more heavy. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Xiao Yan made a move; wouldn't he have no chance to retaliate?
"Hmph! I never imagined your methods were so formidable. Since you intend to subdue me, then I will risk self-destruction rather than let you!"
With a cold snort, Emperor Tribulation Pill was quite decisive. Knowing that he was no match for Xiao Yan, he suddenly moved and pounced towards Xiao Yan. At the same time, he quickly raised his palms and his fingertips changed hand seals at lightning speed. He was really preparing to self-destruct and perish together with Xiao Yan!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer, a mocking smile appearing on his face. He also raised his palm, rapidly unleashing a series of intricate hand seals, and coldly shouted:
"Hmph! You think you can just self-destruct in front of me? You're dreaming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's hand seals solidified instantly, and he suddenly roared out.
" Pill Transformation Divine Art! Withdraw!"
With a command, the dazzling halo surrounding the Emperor Tribulation Pill rapidly shrank, and the Emperor Tribulation Pill was forcibly retrieved by Xiao Yan amidst terrified gazes. Finally, when the halo transformed into a ball of light, the Emperor Tribulation Pill returned to its original form, transforming into a greenish-blue pill the size of a dragon's eye, which flew into Xiao Yan's palm.
Emperor Grade Pill, Emperor Tribulation Pill!
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan only took a few breaths to retrieve the Emperor Tribulation Pill and successfully put it into his hands. Such a scene shocked countless people!
Like the Sumeru Pill just now, it took Old Monster Hu and Yan Bing to personally take it. Although it wasn't difficult, it still took a lot of effort. But Xiao Yan only took a few breaths to quickly retrieve an Emperor Grade Pill, and the process looked effortless, unlike Old Monster Hu's effort.
Based on this alone, Xiao Yan's abilities are truly admirable and leave the onlookers in awe!
To subdue Emperor Pill so casually—such skill is truly divine!
Feeling the faint warmth emanating from the pill in his palm, Xiao Yan slowly smiled coldly. He raised his hand, displaying the Emperor Tribulation Pill to everyone. His gaze slowly swept across the entire scene, exchanging a glance with Gu Li and the other person in the void, before finally looking at Mo Zhai opposite him.
At this moment, Mo Zhai's pair of gloomy old eyes were also fixed on Xiao Yan. He did not expect that the Emperor Tribulation Pill would be so easily subdued by Xiao Yan. Moreover, the secret techniques that Xiao Yan had just used were all things he had never heard of before, which made Mo Zhai's face turn gloomy.
"Hehe, how about it, Master Mo Zhai? Now, I'm capable of competing with you!"
Xiao Yan looked at Mo Zhai, who had a gloomy expression, with a faint smile on his face. He held the Emperor Tribulation Pill in his palm and slowly opened his mouth to laugh.
"Hmph! So what if you've subdued the Emperor Tribulation Pill? I refined my Sumeru Pill long before you did. You're only now bringing out the Emperor Tribulation Pill? Hmph, it's too late! The championship still belongs to me!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's indifferent smile, Mo Zhai couldn't help but sneer. Ignoring Xiao Yan, Mo Zhai turned his gaze directly to Gu Li and Chi Lin in the void. His figure slowly rose from the stone platform, facing Gu Li and Chi Lin, and sneered:
"Hmph! Two guild leaders, in your opinion, my Sumeru Pill was successfully refined before Xiao Yan's Emperor Tribulation Pill, so there's no need to say more, this championship should rightfully be mine!"
Gu Li frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly relaxed again. He exchanged a glance with Chi Lin beside him before looking at Mo Zhai, his eyes darting around, and he smiled, saying:
"Haha, indeed, if we consider the timeline, the championship truly belongs to Master Mo Zhai..."
Before he could finish speaking, and before Mo Zhai could show any joy, Gu Li sneered again and continued to laugh:
"However... for us alchemists, the ultimate competition in refining pills isn't about who can refine them the fastest. After all, if it were just about time, wouldn't anyone who could refine a single defective pill be the champion!"
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, everyone present nodded in agreement. The most important reason why alchemists are respected is the quality of the pills they produce. Otherwise, among the tens of thousands of alchemists on the continent, not only a portion of them would be known to the world.
"Hehe, indeed, Master Mo Zhai's Sumeru Pill was successfully refined before Yan Xiao Emperor Tribulation Pill, but the quality of these two pills still needs to be assessed before we can comment on the champion!"
As Gu Li uttered these words, Mo Zhai frowned slightly. Seeing Gu Li's mysterious smile, Mo Zhai felt increasingly uneasy.
