Chapter 163: Five-Colored Pills The moment the black dragon appeared, an aura of destruction and oppression enveloped the square. Not only was Xuan Kongzi unable to sit still, but the onlookers in the field all stood up and stared at the black fire dragon in fire dragon was circling, and some of the weaker onlookers couldn't even control the beast fire in their bodies. Many flames of different colors appeared in the square, and the flames were slightly bent towards the black fire dragon, as if they were worshiping it. "The Emperor of Fire? This is a strange fire!" Seeing the scene of thousands of fires worshipping each other, the onlookers suddenly became excited. For most alchemists, this was the first time they had seen living strange fire. The roaring black fire dragon appeared for only a moment before it dived into the medicine cauldron. However, the shocking scene of thousands of fires paying homage to it lingered in everyone's mind for a long time. "Master Xiao is indeed an eighth-grade alchemy master. Holding the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron, he even has the Strange Fire of the Supreme Ten Thousand Fires!" The medicine cauldron and flame that Xiao Yun took out were like the fuse that ignited a barrel of explosives, which made the onlookers boil with excitement. Until then, they fully believed that the extremely young boy in front of them could really refine an eighth-grade pill! On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi also calmed down his good mood, sat back in his seat, turned his head to look at the proud Yao Lao, and sighed: "Old man, you two, master and disciple, are more invincible than the other." The medicine cauldron on the Tianding list and the strange fire on the Strange Fire list, these two are the lifelong pursuit of all alchemists. Even for an eighth-grade alchemy master, most people only have one of them, or even none at all. The fact that Yao Lao possesses the Black Demon Cauldron and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire has already made many people jealous and crazy. As a result, his disciples are even more evil. The Yao Cauldron is also one of the Heavenly Cauldrons, and the Strange Fire is ranked sixth on the Strange Fire List. …… Xiao Yun had no idea of everyone's reactions. At this moment, he had already swallowed the Mind-Calming Pill given by the Medicine Master and started to refine the pill.
This time, the pill he was going to refine was made from the poison he bought for Xiao Yixiang at the trade fair a few days ago. It was called the Seven Treasures Poison Pill for the God Transformation, and its grade was the lower eighth level, which was just enough to pass the test. The process of refining the Seven Treasures Poison Pill for the God Transformation flashed through Xiao Yun's mind. He let out a light breath, stretched out his hand, picked out a few of the many medicinal herbs floating beside him, and threw them directly into the flames. As soon as the medicinal herbs entered the medicine cauldron, they quickly withered under the terrifying temperature of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame. Drops of green medicinal essence seeped out of the surface of each herb, slid down the roots and rhizomes, and fell into the flames. The other medicinal herb was shrinking continuously. It was originally as long as an arm, but under the burning flame, it became only the size of a palm. In the end, it was even just grains of medicinal powder. Just like this, in just five or six minutes, Xiao Yun extracted the medicinal essence of these herbs. Immediately, with a thought, the blazing fire split into several flames, which were wrapped around the essences of different colors and placed in the corners of the medicine cauldron. Afterwards, Xiao Yun took out a few more herbs from among the many, and quickly refined them according to his own pace... On the square stands, the onlookers were all shocked by Xiao Yun's smooth and flowing technique of refining medicine on the suspended stone platform, and then they were obsessed with it, unable to extricate themselves. Alchemy is an extremely tedious task. The higher the quality of the elixir, the more time the process takes. According to convention, refining an eighth-grade pill would take five or six days if the person refining it is a veteran alchemy master. If the person is unskilled, it could take ten days to half a month. The three giants of Danta were also very clear about this situation. When promoting it, they had already stated that the elixir they were refining was of the eighth grade. Therefore, most of the people who can come to Shengdan City to watch have a cultivation level above Dou Wang, and they have the patience to watch for half a month. Fortunately, Xiao Yun is not an alchemist like the latter, so he does not need everyone to accompany him for half a month. Just five days had passed and Xiao Yun had successfully extracted all the medicinal essences without any accidents during the process. On the seventh day, he was almost able to fuse the medicinal essences into pills. Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, a vortex of pitch-black flames was spinning counterclockwise. A ball of colorful liquid was constantly churning inside it, being burned madly by the flames. This method of refining medicine is a new method that Xiao Yun comprehended in the past few days by reading a large number of alchemists' essays. He calls it: vortex alchemy! Different from what Yao Lao had taught before, when using the vortex to refine medicine, he could make the temperature of the flame more closely match the essence of the medicine. Because each kind of medicinal essence requires a different temperature when it is fused, Xiao Yun forms the flame into a vortex, and then relies on the precise control of the spiritual realm soul to make the medicinal essence group get a more suitable flame temperature. Of course, this method is only applicable to alchemists above the eighth rank, because the hard condition is a spiritual realm soul. Only by breaking through to the spiritual realm can one truly control the flame freely and know the situation of every part of the medicine cauldron. "Tsk tsk, it seems this kid has found his own way." Yao Lao stood up from his chair, twisting his body which had become somewhat stiff due to long-term immobility, and sighed. "What? So this method of refining medicine was not taught to him by you?" Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi was surprised.
"Of course not. Ever since I said goodbye to you last time, I was ambushed by the Soul Palace and my physical body died. Over the years, I have been hiding in the Bone Inflammation Ring in the form of a soul." "I was only resurrected by this kid a few days ago. I was asleep for so long, I didn't have the time to research new methods of refining medicine." Yao Lao shook his head and said slowly: "If he used my method of refining medicine, Xiao Yun would be like me, and it would be difficult for him to break through the ninth rank in his lifetime. Now that he has walked his own path, I believe he will surpass me soon." "You do have confidence in him." Xuan Kongzi also stood up and said softly, "Ninth Rank? Even for the few of us, we are still one step away. But if we want to take this step, it will take at least several decades." The three giants of Danta, like Yao Lao, are all eighth-grade pinnacle alchemy masters, but none of them can guarantee that they can reach the ninth grade in this lifetime. And Yao Lao actually said that Xiao Yun would soon surpass him? How long was this soon? Five years? Ten years? "Haha, old man, don't underestimate him. Miracles happen to him all the time." Yao Lao smiled slightly, turned his head, and said to Xuan Kongzi: "Before meeting him, would you dare to believe that someone could refine an eighth-grade elixir before the age of twenty?" Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything. Before he met Xiao Yun, if someone had told him that a person could break through to the eighth level before the age of twenty, he would have slapped the person twice to stop him from daydreaming all day. "Well, you two old guys have been fighting for your whole lives, but now it's time to calm down. Xiao Yun is about to condense into a pill. Sit down and watch carefully!" Xuanyi, the only woman among the three giants of Danta, looked at the two people standing in front and said unhappily. After Xuanyi said this, Yao Lao and the other two smiled at each other, then sat down again and continued to watch quietly. …… On the suspended stone platform, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, but his soul power was spread throughout the medicine cauldron. Even the slightest reaction could not escape his perception. Under the perception of soul power, a pill prototype with some pits on it was burning in the flame. Around it, medicinal essence was constantly merging into it, filling the small pits on it. As the last small amount of medicinal essence merged into the surface of the pill, the originally battered pill prototype finally became extremely round. At the same time, the pill burst out with a powerful suction force, swallowing up all the dark flames in the medicine cauldron in just an instant. "This pill is done!" Under the gazes of countless people, Xiao Yun slowly stood up, snapped his fingers, and the lid of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron was directly opened. Suddenly, a shocking beam of energy shot out from the cauldron into the sky. "boom!" The heaven and earth changed in an instant. The originally cloudless sky was covered with dark clouds, which revolved around the column of light, with flashes of lightning flashing in it. Thick thunderclouds rotated along the energy beam. To people far away, it looked like a huge tornado, stirring up the energy between heaven and earth. Looking at this doomsday-like scene, the originally noisy square suddenly became extremely quiet, as if people were afraid of angering God. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the thundercloud at the end of the light column. Under the gaze of everyone, the originally pitch-black thunderclouds rolled up and down, and then turned blue, silver, and red, dyeing the thunderclouds gorgeously. "Three-color pill thunder! Master Xiao really refined an eighth-grade pill!" "Master Xiao is truly a god in our alchemy world! I deserve to die for doubting him before!" The appearance of the three-colored thundercloud immediately set the square on fire. The crowd, which had been silent originally, became excited in an instant and was full of praise for Xiao Yun. Some even wanted to fly to the floating stone platform and watch from its face. Unfortunately, as soon as this action appeared, Elder Danta, who was guarding the stands, pressed him to the ground and rubbed him. "Huh!" Seeing the appearance of the three-colored pill thunder, the Little Medical Fairy breathed a sigh of relief, while Cao Ying beside her stared at Xiao Yun with an extremely complicated look.
In fact, when she sensed Xiao Yun's soul a few days ago, she knew that the former could refine eighth-grade elixirs, but when she really saw it, she was still shocked. "No! Look, the thundercloud is still rolling!" Just when everyone thought that Xiao Yun had refined an eighth-grade three-color pill, a sharp-eyed person pointed at the thundercloud above and shouted. "What? The thunderclouds are still rolling?" Everyone quickly shifted their gaze from the young man to the sky above, and sure enough, they saw that the three-colored thunderclouds were still rolling. "Isn't it three colors? Is it four colors? That's the eighth-grade intermediate level!" Under the gaze of everyone, a brilliant golden light suddenly tore through the dark clouds, as dazzling as the sun, and spread golden light all over the earth. "Four colors!" Looking at the gorgeous thunderclouds in the sky, the excitement of the entire square suddenly increased again, and countless people jumped up from their chairs like crazy. But before they could finish being excited, a touch of noble purple appeared on the thunderclouds in the sky, like the sharpest sword in the world, dividing the gorgeous thunderclouds in half. "Five Color Pill Thunder!" The moment they saw the purple color appear, the onlookers not only jumped up, but their faces turned red, as if they had drunk highly concentrated liquor. While shouting, they crossed layers of obstacles and leaped towards Xiao Yun like moths to a flame. For a moment, even Elder Danta found it difficult to stop the crowd. Seeing the crowd getting closer and closer to the floating stone platform, Xuan Kongzi finally took action. "Hmph!" A cold snort came out of his nose, and the momentum from the peak of Dou Zun swept in all directions, knocking down all those who wanted to rush towards the floating stone platform. "Everyone, watch carefully! Otherwise, get out of Shengdan City!" The majestic and deep voice resounded throughout the square, calming the crazy onlookers a lot. They flew back to their respective positions obediently, but their eyes were still fixed on Xiao Yun. In fact, it is not their fault that they are crazy. Even in Shengdan City, eighth-grade elixirs can only be seen a few times a year. Even if there are, they are only two or three colors of elixir thunder. Like this five-colored Dan Lei, it is a legendary Dan Lei for many people. Now it appears in front of them. The person who refined it is still a handsome young man. How can he suppress the excitement and madness in his heart?
