Chapter 178 Ninth-grade precious pill!In the square, the atmosphere began to boil as a figure appeared in front of the black stone gate. Countless people began to cheer for the alchemists who came out of the stone gate, because the strength of these people had at least reached the level of guests of honor of some forces! Xuan Kongzi and the other three presidents looked at the figure pouring out of the stone gate with a hint of worry in their eyes. If the people in the Soul Palace are really hiding among those alchemists, they might take action in the Alchemy World. But soon, this worry was dispelled. Jia He led Xiao Yan and the others out of the stone gate, and then each of them found a stone platform and sat down cross-legged. Yao Chen snorted, "I told you not to worry. With Jia He here, nothing will happen!" Xuan Kongzi sighed and said, "Really? I don't know which one was so anxious just now. Do you really think we are blind?" "Hmph! I only have this precious disciple now. If I don't worry about him, who should I worry about?" Yao Chen said, spreading his hands. Xuan Kongzi said: "After so many years, you old fellow are still so shameless!" "Okay, okay, it's been so many years, and you still quarrel every time you meet. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone sees you?" Xuan Yi said from the side.
Xuan Kongzi looked at Xuan Yi and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? If anyone is to be ashamed, it should be him. Besides, you should feel sorry for him since he never speaks for me anyway!" Xuan Yi's face turned slightly red, then he glared at Xuan Kongzi and said, "Shut up!" Xuan Kongzi curled his lips, but didn't say anything else. After no more figures appeared in the boulder gate, Xuan Kongzi stood up and waved his sleeves. A melodious bell sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire Shengdan City! The noisy sounds in the square gradually died down. "Everyone, the time has come and the alchemy meeting has officially begun. Please start refining the elixirs!" Xuan Kongzi said directly. As soon as the words fell, the alchemists on the stone platform took out their medicine cauldrons and placed them heavily in front of them. The low sound of metal and iron continuously echoed in the void. The medicine cauldrons that were rarely seen in the past appeared in front of everyone today, making people dizzy. When the medicine cauldron was summoned out, there was another burst of puffing sounds, and flames rose inside the cauldron, with flames of various colors constantly flashing. The temperature in this area suddenly rose a lot, but everyone in the square was staring at the alchemist refining the medicine on the stone platform. Almost every alchemist received attention. After all, none of the alchemists at this alchemy conference were weak. In this alchemy meeting, the five major families each sent people to participate. Ye Chong from the Ye family also came here with several elders. Seeing his granddaughter appear on the stone platform, his eyes were filled with relief. The Ye family has not participated in the Alchemy Conference for many years except for his generation. Ye Xinlan has broken the record. "My Ye family is really going to prosper!" said an elder happily. On the stone platform, Cao Ying, Ye Xinlan and Xiao Yan all chose to sit next to Jia He, while Dan Chen from the Dan family also chose a place on the edge, not far from them. As for that little bootlicker Song Qing, he naturally had to stay with Cao Ying. Therefore, this area attracts more attention than other places. However, what surprised many people was that everyone else had a medicine cauldron in front of them, but there was nothing in front of Jia He! "Why doesn't the young man take the medicine cauldron?" someone wondered.
"You don't know, right? He's an eighth-grade alchemist. I saw him fight with the Cao family before. He controlled the cauldron with fire. It was so cool, wasn't it?" "Eighth-grade? Doesn't that mean he's already the champion?" “Maybe, but the Dan family and the Cao family both have backup plans, and there are also several old seniors who came out of the mountains for the Three Thousand Flames, and they have all reached the eighth level!” "Wow, this year's alchemy conference is probably the most high-quality one, right? I've never seen an eighth-grade elixir before." "Thanks to Danta, if Danta hadn't held the Dan Conference, how could we have watched those alchemists compete with our own eyes?" "I heard that many alchemists came here from all over Zhongzhou. Even if they just take a look, it will be of great benefit to those low-level alchemists!" At this time, Xiao Yan, Cao Ying and others closed their eyes, pondered the steps of alchemy, and then summoned the medicine cauldron and flame to start refining the alchemy. As soon as Xiao Yan's strange fire appeared, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. Strange fire is very attractive to alchemists. Aren’t most of the alchemists at this alchemy meeting here for the Three Thousand Flames? At this time, Xiao Yan actually had a strange fire in his hand, which made many people wonder why he came to participate even though he had a strange fire. Xuan Kongzi and others were sitting on the high platform. Xuan Yi said, "Nagahe is an eighth-grade alchemist. This time we can take a look at his alchemy skills!" "You won't be disappointed. I've seen it before and it's really amazing!" Yao Chen said. Xuan Kongzi asked, "Does this convince you?" Yao Chen said: "When you see it, you will be impressed. At least I think that even if the people of the Yao clan practice the alchemy skills inherited from their family, they are probably slightly inferior to this!" "That is an art of alchemy. Take a good look at it. Perhaps it will be helpful to your alchemy skills!" Yao Chen laughed. On the stone platform, Jiahe gently clenched his palms, and a flame gushed out, condensing into a fire cauldron in an instant. Ever since his soul power broke through to the heavenly realm, his control over fire has become increasingly terrifying. The elixir he decided to refine this time was a ninth-grade elixir, the Shengmie Poyuan Pill. This elixir could help a strong man at the peak of the Dou Zun level to break through to the Semi-Saint realm. However, this was also the first time that Jia He refined the ninth-grade elixir, so he did not put all of the thousands of medicinal materials into the medicine cauldron for refining. Jia He waved his hand lightly, and sent the herbs one by one into the medicine cauldron. The flames surged up and quickly refined the herbs. Jia He took every step perfectly, and his every gesture revealed the demeanor of a grandmaster. At this time, on the high platform, four eighth-grade peak alchemists were all immersed in Jiahe's alchemy. "This method doesn't seem to be for refining an eighth-grade elixir!" Xuan Yi said in a serious voice after a while. "Ninth grade, it must be the ninth grade, it's really scary!" Tian Lei Zi sighed at this time. The process of alchemy is boring. Time passes slowly and half a month goes by quietly. The people in the square did not feel bored, but became more and more expectant, and a steady stream of people came from all over. "In half a month, a small number of alchemists have successfully refined pills, but these people are officially out!" said Xuan Kongzi. "There are only ten places, and we can't even refine a seventh-grade high-level elixir. This year's alchemy conference is attended by many strong people, so there is naturally no hope!" Xuan Yi said. Yao Chen also shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "If I were in this alchemy conference, let alone winning the championship, it would be good enough to be in the top three!"
