Bab 32: Chapter 32 Its Out!
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Yao Lao asked, pretending to be profound and smiling.
"Nothing is wrong with that." Xuan Kongzi took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "It's just that I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a 15-year-old sixth-grade alchemist. If he were born in ancient times, he might have been able to become an Emperor-grade alchemist."
(T/N: Emperor Grade Alchemist refers to alchemists who have become Sovereign's, i.e they are equivalent to the Dou Sovereign Rank)
Hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, who stood next to him with dark faces, couldn't help but fall silent.
"Heh." Yao Lao smiled implicitly and gently stroked his beard.
He refused to speak and wanted to continue his mysterious act!
"If we weren't here, the corners of your mouth would probably be reaching your ears right about now," Xuan Yi, who knew Yao Lao best, sneered.
"Heh." Yao Lao laughed without comment. Xiao Yan was so brilliant, and as his teacher, he was naturally very happy.
He was became even more happy when he saw the shocked looks of these three old friends of his. Fortunately, he had received professional training and could restrain himself.
"Don't be happy too soon, old man. If your disciple wins, we have to study alchemy for a month." Xuan Yi's soul transmission suddenly reached Yao Lao's ears.
Hearing this, Yao Lao's face suddenly changed from a smile he could not hold back to fear.
In a month, even his Bone Chilling Flame would be sucked out and gone.
The audience in the venue naturally had no chance to see the exchange between these four giants. What they could see however, were the young alchemists sitting cross-legged in the square.
"Look, the kid who drank the beast's milk actually refined the third-grade pill, the Qi-restoring Pill!"
"Yes, although this pill is the easiest to refine among the third-grade pills and is even simpler than some second-grade pills, he is only a twelve-year-old kid after all."
"With this child's talent, he may be able to advance to the fourth grade by the time he is fifteen."
"Yes, this talent is considered first-rate in Pill Tower. Apart from a monster like Cao Ying, I'm afraid no one can suppress him."
"That's not right. You see Dan Chen from the Dan clan is not simple either. It's just that this girl is too introverted and low-key."
"Looking at the way she switches between the two flames, could it be that she is going to refine the Three-Line Green Spirit Pill?"
"The Three-Line Green Spirit Pill with two flames is considered a high-level fourth-grade pill. If another flame is added, it will be comparable to a fifth-grade pill."
"She is only a little over fourteen years old. She's truly amazing!"
"Look at Cao Ying's technique. It seems that she is going to refine the Dou Spirit Pill!" Some higher-grade alchemists commented.
Although the Dou Spirit Pill is difficult to refine, the recipe is widely circulated. Many alchemists of the sixth grade and above know this recipe.
"No way, can she refine the Dou Spirit Pill at this age?" Some people's eyes widened.
"With such a talent, it's no wonder that Head Xuan Yi accepted her as her personal disciple. If this girl can grow up smoothly, Pill Tower will have another giant figure within a hundred years."
In the ordinary audience seats, many sixth-grade alchemists who are top figures are commenting about Cao Ying and Dan Chen, but in the VIP seats and elders' seats, many seventh-grade alchemists' eyes were more focused on Xiao Yan than Cao Ying.
"How is this possible!" A group of prestigious seventh-grade alchemists stared at the golden ancient vine in Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron, with incredulous looks in their eyes.
"This kid, is he really going to refine the Mighty Huang Pill?"
Like the Dou Spirit Pill, the recipe for the Mighty Huang Pill is not rare. After all, many Dou Emperor powerhouses need this pill.
Most high-level alchemists have the recipe for the Mighty Huang Pill, but those who can refine the Mighty Huang Pill are undoubtedly outstanding amongst sixth-grade alchemists.
But how old is this boy in front of them?
"I thought Cao Ying was already invincible among her peers, but I didn't expect that there was someone more talented than her. Whose disciple is this?" Several alchemists who were not far from the eighth rank looked at Xiao Yan with burning eyes.
At their stage, apart from breaking through the eighth rank as soon as possible, the only thing worth worrying about was being able to train an excellent disciple.
If this boy's teacher was not very strong, they would definitely find ways to make him enter their tutelage.
"Everyone, don't think about it. This boy is the disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen." A faint bitter voice rang, causing the originally enthusiastic old men to feel like someone had poured ice water over them whilst they were sleeping.
Medicine Venerable Yao Chen was a mountain that the Central Plains' alchemists could not cross in their hearts. If anyone could climb over this mountain, it would probably be the legendary ninth-rank alchemists.
Ninth-rank alchemists are always elusive, and many seventh-rank alchemists may not have the chance to meet one in their lifetime.
"In that case, this young man is not someone we can get involved with. We'd better just watch the fun." A group of old men sighed and sat in their seats drinking tea.
As time passed, one young alchemist after another refined the pills they wanted to refine.
Of course, some people accidentally exploded the furnace twice because they did not control the temperature well. Fortunately, these young people had good family backgrounds, and the quality of the medicine cauldron was very good, so there was no danger.
"Ding!" A crisp sound rang in Xiao Yan's ears.
Dan Chen, who was not far away, made a seal with her little hand, and a dark green pill wrapped in black and red emitted energy fluctuations and hit the high-quality medicine cauldron making a crisp sound.
"Huuuuuh!" Dan Chen exhaled, and her tense little face finally had a hint of happiness. She stretched out her fair little hand and held the pill in her hand.
A moment after her, another sound of pill-forming energy hitting the medicine cauldron was heard. It was another contestant, he looked the oldest amongst those here.
At this moment, he held a blood-red fifth-grade Blood Lotus Pill in his hand! Obviously, this person had barely managed to enter the fifth-grade ranks.
As everyone finished refining the medicine, only Cao Ying and Xiao Yan's medicine cauldrons were still burning with flames.
"Xiao Yan! You are doomed to lose this time!" A moment later, Cao Ying shouted.
A deeper and clearer sound rang out in her medicine cauldron which was inlaid with phoenix patterns.
Along with this clear sound, an apricot-yellow pill flew out of the medicine cauldron, and the energy contained in it attracted the attention of countless powerhouse.
"Dou Spirit Pill! This Cao Ying actually refined a Dou Spirit Pill!" Someone exclaimed.
"She is indeed a demoness. This talent is simply demonic!"
Ignoring the exclamations of the crowd, Cao Ying stretched out her slender jade hand to put the Dou Spirit Pill into the jade bottle, turned her head, and stared at Xiao Yan closely.
"I don't believe that you can refine a sixth-grade pill!" Cao Ying gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Yan, who was still calm.
Just now, she had put almost all her energy into refining the pill and didn't even bother to look at Xiao Yan.
With many elixirs coming out of the furnace, the refining square was already bustling with noise, yet Xiao Yan was still calm.
His soul power penetrated into the medicine cauldron, he carefully felt the changes in the flames.
Inside, a ball of colorless and transparent majestic energy was slowly merging with a ball of golden liquid medicinal herbs. A variety of medicinal essences were accurately put into it at every moment, neutralizing the power between the two energy balls.
A fist-sized golden elixir prototype was slowly taking shape.
"The last step!" The flame in Xiao Yan's hand suddenly increased, and the golden elixir prototype began to spin in it.
"Sixth-grade elixir, can this kid really refine it?"
Above the Pill Tower, the three giants were also staring at Xiao Yan's cauldron at this moment.
Yao Lao at the side also looked at Xiao Yan with worry. After all, he had failed in refining the Mighty Huang Pill three times before, and there was no guarantee that he would succeed this time.
"If this boy succeeds in refining the Mighty Huang Pill this time, he will be the most amazing alchemy genius in the Dou Qi Continent in the past hundred years." In the VIP seats and the elders' seats, a group of seventh-grade alchemists also stared at Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron.
"Boom!" Half an hour later, accompanied by a loud sound, a golden beam of light directly lifted the lid of the medicine cauldron and rushed into the sky.
"What kind of elixir is this? How can there be such a large energy fluctuation!" The eyes of countless people in the square were attracted, and facing this powerful energy fluctuation, Cao Ying's face, which was originally full of battle intent, turned pale again.
The golden beam of light lasted for a breath in the air, and finally slowly dissipated.
As the beam of light dissipated, a golden pill appeared dazzling everyone's eyes.
