Chapter 205: Yin Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill
In the heart of the square, countless eyes were fixed on the seven colored flames rising from Xiao Yan's cauldron, their gazes filled with awe and curiosity.
Most of the onlookers had never seen a Heavenly Flame before, and even those who had were utterly captivated. Xiao Yan's flame was unlike anything they'd encountered it wasn't just powerful, but also seemed to possess an almost otherworldly elegance, manifesting intricate forms on its own.
Among the most stunned was Venerable Fu Ding, seated in the VIP section. Though a Dou Zun powerhouse with vast experience, his eyes reflected the disbelief of someone witnessing something entirely new.
"What an incredible flame," Fu Ding muttered, his voice tinged with amazement. He could feel the terrifying heat emanating from it, and he knew this flame wasn't ordinary.
Xiao Yan, meanwhile, remained focused on his task. With a flick of his finger, a row of medicinal ingredients floated into the air, ready to be refined. These were primarily sourced by Yao Ye, as the materials sent by Xiao Ding were intended for crafting higher tier pills.
The first pill Xiao Yan aimed to refine was the Primordial Bone Molding Pill, a sixth tier medicinal pill that could rapidly heal injuries in magical beasts. Its primary ingredient was the bone of a seventh tier magical beast.
Xiao Yan casually pointed at a grinding stone sized bone in the pile, which then floated into his cauldron.
As the bone entered the cauldron, the seven colored flame enveloped it, its dazzling radiance clashing against the bone's faint white glow. The beast bone resisted the heat for a moment, but it was clear it wouldn't last long.
Then, the yin yang fish at the heart of the flame began to swirl around the bone. With every rotation, the bone's glow dimmed slightly, until eventually, a pure, jade like liquid began to seep out of it the beast's marrow.
"This new flame is incredible," Xiao Yan mused, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips. With this flame's extraordinary refining abilities, his alchemical efficiency would see a massive improvement.
After testing the flame's strength, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the remaining ingredients for the Primordial Bone Molding Pill floated above the cauldron.
Instead of refining them one by one, he controlled the flame to envelop all the ingredients at once. In an instant, dozens of seven colored fire lotuses bloomed in midair, their radiant glow illuminating the square.
The scene resembled an ethereal garden of multicolored blossoms blooming in the void.
The crowd erupted in gasps of amazement.
"Unbelievable! Refining all the ingredients for a sixth tier pill simultaneously… That's an extraordinary feat!"
Even for those with limited knowledge of alchemy, it was clear that what Xiao Yan was doing was a rarity. The beauty and precision of his technique left an indelible mark on the minds of everyone present.
"Marvelous… Simply marvelous…" Fu Ding stood again, unable to sit still. His eyes, filled with admiration, were glued to Xiao Yan.
Even as a peak tier seventh grade alchemist, Fu Ding knew he couldn't replicate Xiao Yan's performance. The sheer control, creativity, and seamless mastery of fire manipulation Xiao Yan displayed were leagues beyond him.
"This young man is a prodigy," Fu Ding muttered. "With such talent, who wouldn't want to serve as his subordinate?"
Among the spectators, alchemists from all walks of life gazed at Xiao Yan with tears of awe. To them, this wasn't just a demonstration it was a sacred ceremony, a glimpse of the peak they'd spent their lives pursuing.
"Xiao Yan is a genius blessed by the heavens… I'm almost tempted to kneel and call him master," muttered Fa Ma, president of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Association, his tone filled with reverence.
In the Yun Lan Sect seating area, Gu He (Pill King Gu He) looked despondent. The gap between him and Xiao Yan had grown so vast that it was almost laughable.
He cast a glance at Yun Yun, who gazed at Xiao Yan with soft admiration. A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he sighed, "What woman wouldn't be drawn to a man like this?"
With extraordinary ease, Xiao Yan completed the Primordial Bone Molding Pill. A sweet fragrance filled the square as the pill's essence condensed within the cauldron. Moments later, a small jade bottle shot toward Jia Xing Tian, signaling the successful refinement.
Without pausing, Xiao Yan continued refining.
One after another, pills of extraordinary quality were produced:
Soul Fusion PillRejuvenating Purple Spirit PillSoul Cleansing PillSect Breaking Pill
From dawn to dusk, Xiao Yan refined five sixth tier pills in succession. Not a single failure. His flawless performance left the alchemists in the audience on the verge of worshiping him.
The square, illuminated by Xiao Yan's seven colored flames, remained radiant even after nightfall. Half of Jia Ma Imperial City was bathed in the ethereal glow, overshadowing the moonlight itself.
By the time the fifth pill was completed, Xiao Yan finally paused, letting out a small sigh as he closed his eyes for a brief rest. Though slightly fatigued, he was far from exhausted.
These six tier pills were merely warm ups, giving Xiao Yan time to adapt to the nuances of his new flame.
As the first rays of dawn crept over the horizon, Xiao Yan opened his eyes once more. The seven colored flames reignited, their brilliance even more dazzling than before.
Now, it was time for the main event.
With a flick of his finger, over a hundred rare medicinal ingredients floated out of his storage ring.
Today, he would refine the Yin Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill a true masterpiece among seven tier pills.
