Chapter 373: Frequent Pill Lightning and Great Gains

As Xiao Ze's enhanced Bi-Serpent Triple Flower Eyes emerged, some alchemists with exceptionally strong soul perception noticed something. However, after looking around and seeing nothing unusual, they returned to their pill refining. After all, this was the grand event hosted by the Pill Tower, with the three chairmen present on the high platform. Who would dare attack?

Inside Xiao Yan's ring, Yao Lao, having the highest soul level among the alchemists present, immediately noticed Xiao Ze's unique eyes with a faint green-gold glow. Yao Lao was puzzled, unable to discern their origin even with his vast knowledge.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked, feeling a slight oddity but not overthinking it.

"...It's nothing. Have you decided what pill to refine?" Yao Lao decided not to mention Xiao Ze's eyes to Xiao Yan, knowing Xiao Ze wouldn't harm them.

"Yes, I'll refine the Bone Merging Blood Pill!" Xiao Yan replied.

Yao Lao nodded. Although the Bone Merging Blood Pill was a peak seventh-grade pill, if its quality was excellent, it could reach eighth-grade. Given the fierce competition due to the opportunity to tame the Three Thousand Burning Flames, even an eighth-grade pill might not guarantee the championship. But Yao Lao trusted Xiao Yan's decision.

Boom! A strange-colored flame rose from Xiao Yan's palm, burning fiercely and causing the surrounding alchemists' flames to shrink in fear.

"Is that... a Heavenly Flame?!"

Many alchemists couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan in astonishment. Without Mu Gu showcasing the Sea Heart Flame earlier, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame became the center of attention. Heavenly Flames, as the kings of flames, were unrivaled even among the colorful beast flames present. Even senior alchemists couldn't help but focus on Xiao Yan, drawn by his Heavenly Flame.

However, Xiao Yan ignored the stares and began refining the Bone Merging Blood Pill. On the high platform, Xuan Yi frowned, looking at Xiao Yan's green flame.

"A green flame? It doesn't match any Heavenly Flame on the ranking list," she noted.

"Indeed, none of the listed Heavenly Flames have such characteristics," Xuan Kong agreed.

"Could it be that he, like Xiao Ze, tamed an unknown Heavenly Flame?" Tian Lei Zi looked at Xiao Ze.

"Hehe, there's no need to guess, chairmen. It is a new Heavenly Flame. Our methods of acquiring these flames are unique," Xiao Ze explained, smiling. The three chairmen nodded, understanding that the vast Dou Qi Continent might still hold unrecorded Heavenly Flames.

"You two brothers are truly blessed. Many alchemists long for a Heavenly Flame, and both of you possess ones that aren't even on the list," Xuan Yi remarked.

Xiao Ze smiled without responding, knowing his flame was indeed on the list.

During this time, Xiao Ze's enhanced vision allowed him to observe the pill refining processes of many alchemists, some of whom used recipes he already knew. Still, there were a few completely new to him. Among them was an eccentric old man in a floral robe, whose ingredients seemed to incite physical reactions just by their scent. Xiao Ze couldn't help but press his forehead in disbelief at the high-grade nature of such pills.

The three chairmen noticed Xiao Ze's reaction and looked over. Tian Lei Zi snorted, Xuan Kong chuckled, and Xuan Yi rolled her eyes.

As time passed, more alchemists finished their pills, and the air filled with medicinal aromas, each blending into a mesmerizing scent. Some pills emitted strong energy waves, drawing attention with their brilliance, even among peak sixth-grade pills.

However, when thunder rolled in the sky, even the most potent sixth-grade pills couldn't compete. Only seventh-grade pills, capable of summoning pill lightning, truly captured everyone's attention.

The first pill lightning set off a chain reaction, with over ten instances occurring within half a day. Each instance electrified the audience, as crafting a seventh-grade pill marked one as a master alchemist, highlighting their rarity and value.

Xiao Ze was busy the entire time, using his enhanced vision to learn from the new recipes and refining methods he observed. As more alchemists completed their pills, he finally relaxed, thinking, "What great gains! This event is truly invaluable!"

Even the eccentric old man successfully summoned pill lightning, much to Xiao Ze's mixed feelings.

"Xiao Ze, the ones you mentioned are all giving their best to win the championship," Xuan Yi noted.

"Haha, that girl Cao Ying should be able to craft an eighth-grade pill," Xuan Kong said with satisfaction.

"Dan Chen is equally impressive. Both girls are well-matched," Tian Lei Zi added.

"From the current situation, it seems that Qing Hua Lao Guai is ahead. As for my third brother... we'll see," Xiao Ze observed. Judging by the energy emanating from their cauldrons, Qing Hua Lao Guai had an edge. However, with Yao Lao's soul-raising technique, Xiao Yan's final result remained uncertain.
