Chapter 387: The Emergence of Heavenly me, Submission of All Fires!
Xiao Yan closed his eyes in thought for a moment, then flicked his fingers lightly,ying out the materials for the “Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill” on the stone tform before him. The collection included over twenty types of ingredients.
This was the first time Xiao Yan had attempted to refine such an extensive set of materials. The psychological pressure was undeniably intense for him.
“To stand out among the crowd, even if I can’t produce the highest-grade, three-patterned pill, I should at least achieve a two-patterned Green Spirit Pill!”
He muttered to himself as he prepared the materials.
Meanwhile, Liu Ling had already arranged his own set of ingredients—a collection that was easily double what Xiao Yan had on his tform.
“Oh?”
“Unexpectedly, this kid can refine a fourth-grade pill!”
Unintentionally, Liu Ling caught sight of the materials on Xiao Yan’s tform and couldn’t help but regard him with a newfound respect.
In the next instant, Liu Ling turned his attention back, raising his hand. The “Green Lotus Core me” surged into the Crimson Serpent Cauldron, and an intense wave of heat immediately engulfed the entire za.
Although everyone was aware that Liu Ling possessed a unique me, the sight still drew countless heated gazes and rounds of enthusiastic apuse.
With thebination of the Crimson Serpent Cauldron and the Green Lotus Core me, Liu Ling’s setup was undeniably impressive. Even before obtaining this me, Liu Ling could refine fourth-grade pills with ease. Now, with the addition of this heavenly me, producing fifth-grade pills should be well within his reach.
However, this time, Liu Ling didn’t overreach by attempting to create a sixth-grade pill. Instead, he chose to refine a fifth-grade pill called the “Dragon Power Pill.”
On the high tform, Fa Ma had been intently observing the ck-robed figure. Yet, upon glimpsing the materials on Liu Ling’s tform, he was taken aback, nearly dropping his jaw.
“This many ingredients must be for at least a fifth-grade pill! Does this mean Liu Ling has already be a fifth-grade alchemist?” Fa Ma eximed, utterly stunned.
Even Liu Ling’s possession of a unique me hadn’t astonished Fa Ma as much.
To be a fifth-grade alchemist at merely eighteen or neen years old meant Liu Ling could potentially reach the fabled seventh-grade level in the future—an aplishment that alchemists across the Northwest Continent would spend a lifetime striving for but might never achieve.
“Senior Brother is indeed formidable, having fully inherited our master’s alchemy skills… but where is Second Senior Sister?”
In the VIP section, Nn Yanran, though not well-versed in alchemy, could sense from the crowd’s reactions to Liu Ling that something extraordinary was happening. While cheering for Liu Ling, she couldn’t help but wonder about the absence of Xiao Yi Xian, who had yet to make an appearance.
“Master mentioned that Senior Sister had returned, so logically, she should attend this alchemist gathering, right?”
Nn Yanran’s gaze roamed over the za and around its perimeters.
By now, all contestants had set out their ingredients and ignited their mes.
Among them, the blue mes rising from Princess Yao Yue’s direction were attracting considerable attention.
Upon hearing faint sounds of surprise from the audience, Xiao Yan nced towards the Little Princess and was momentarily taken aback. He saw her slender hand enveloped in a mesmerizing blue me that rippled outward like gentle water waves, creating an enchanting sight.
“What kind of me is this?” Xiao Yan stared at the blue me, a bit puzzled.
“However... this me’s shape looks somewhat familiar.” Furrowing his brows, he thought for a while before his eyes lit up in realization. “This blue me resembles the emblem of the Jia Ma Empire’s royal family!”
The royal family’s insignia was a mighty mythical beast with its head raised in a roar, and surrounding the beast was a simr me that cast rippling waves around it.
ording to local legends, in the early days of the Jia Ma Empire, the royal family possessed a powerful beast that had saved the empire several times. However, many believe this tale is exaggerated folklore, and few truly believe it, except for those privy to certain secrets.
“Could this me be... the Aquatic Blue me of the Tidal Dragon Beast?”
On the high tform, Fa Ma and Hai Bodong were briefly stunned as they observed the blue me conjured by the Little Princess. After a moment, a thought struck them, and they exchanged surprised nces.
“Haha,” Jia Xingtian chuckled quietly, but he didn’t reveal anything about the Tidal Dragon Beast.
“She’s a lucky girl, but who would have thought that ancient magical beast, dormant for who knows how long, is still alive!”
Noticing Jia Xingtian’s demeanor, Fa Ma and Hai Bodong shook their heads helplessly. They exchanged nces, understanding each other’s thoughts. While the Aquatic Blue me might notpare to the world-defying nature of a heavenly me, it ranked high among so-called “beast mes.” Moreover, this me possessed a soft and yin energy, making it particrly potent when wielded by a virgin alchemist, amplifying its effectiveness significantly.
After the Little Princess and Liu Ling unveiled their beast and heavenly mes, several other contestants also revealed unique mes.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Xiao Yan and the ck-robed figure, who had performed remarkably well in the previous rounds, used only ordinary pill mes like the rest of the crowd.
Just then, Liu Ling suddenly intensified the heat from the Green Lotus Core me within the Crimson Serpent Cauldron, causing the temperature across the za to rise again. Strangely, as the temperature increased, the mes in the hands of the other contestants, including the Little Princess, dimmed and seemed to lose some of their vigor.
A light breeze swept across the za, and the multicolored mes, each with unique hues, tilted ever so slightly. To everyone’s amazement, each me pointed in the direction of Liu Ling at the center of the arena.
More precisely, the mes were drawn towards the ethereal green me rising from Liu Ling’s cauldron.
The peculiar scene resembled ministers bowing before their sovereign.
“A heavenly me’s emergence, and all fires bow in submission—how true those words are!”
Watching this spectacle, Fa Ma sighed softly from the high tform. He had witnessed a simr scene in his youth, and it astonished him to see it again at such a moment.
The strange phenomenon on the za didn’t seem to surprise Liu Ling too much. As the temperature in the Crimson Serpent Cauldron rose, the mes in the contestants’ hands gradually returned to normal.
“This guy!”
The Little Princess muttered in frustration. Having never witnessed a heavenly me’s raw power before, she’d assumed her “Aquatic Blue me” was nearly on par with Liu Ling’s Green Lotus Core me. However, after seeing her own me’s submission, it was clear to anyone that it was far fromparable; otherwise, her me wouldn’t have disyed such a subservient behavior.
