Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 240: Insufficient energy from heaven and earth, alchemy failed?
In the sky, those thousands of medicinal herbs were all swallowed up by the fire cauldron. Soon after, Xiao Yan also sat cross-legged in the air. Possessing the spirit of strange fire, he could refine pills countless times more easily than others. With Xiao Yi's help in controlling the strange fire to perfection, refining medicinal herbs was simply a common thing.

The blazing pink flames completely enveloped the fire cauldron, like a big fireball. Every few minutes, small fireballs would rush out from the fire cauldron and finally rotate around the fire cauldron in the air. These fireballs each contained medicinal liquids and powders of different colors. These were all medicinal materials that had been refined to the purest level.

As more and more fireballs were suspended around Xiao Yan's fire cauldron, the other three people in the distant sky also gradually refined large quantities of medicinal materials. Although they did not have the spirit of strange fire and could not catch up with Xiao Yan in refining efficiency, they were all grandmasters after all, and refining medicinal materials, such a basic thing, was obviously not a problem for them.

In the square, many alchemists looked at the flowing alchemy techniques in the sky, their faces were filled with fascination, and their eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

The extraction of medicinal materials lasted for about a day. Xiao Yan was the first to open his eyes. He looked at the densely packed fireballs floating around the fire cauldron. He took a deep breath and waved his hand lightly. Many fireballs rushed into the fire cauldron again. Then, an astonishing energy wave spread out crazily from the medicine cauldron, and even the fire cauldron was vibrated and buzzed.

Shortly after Xiao Yan had refined all the herbs, Hunxuzi opened his eyes and threw the refined herbs into the fire cauldron. Then he changed his handprints and shouted, "Power of heaven and earth, obey my command!"

As Hunxuzi's shout fell, a sudden strong wind blew between the sky and the earth. Endless energy from the heaven and earth gathered towards the Fire Cauldron, and was finally swallowed up by the suction emanating from it. This horrible swallowing was so intense that in the end, the energy seemed to form a mottled energy storm, roaring wildly above the sky, and was finally swallowed up by the Fire Cauldron.
Such a terrifying sound of alchemy made many people secretly swallow their saliva. They had never heard that when refining an elixir, they actually needed to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, because this energy would sometimes break the balance between the medicinal properties and lead to failure.
However, such thoughts were naturally held by ordinary people only. The faces of the elders of the medicine clan and some alchemy masters were filled with horror at this moment. Even the face of the person who was holding the medicine pill in the first place became unusually solemn.

"Gathering the power of heaven and earth to refine the elixir, this method... He actually wants to refine the ninth-grade profound elixir!"

The movement caused by Hunxuzi was also noticed by Xiao Yan and the others. Elder Wanhuo frowned, snorted coldly, his handprints changed, and he shouted loudly: "The power of heaven and earth, condense!"

Hearing Elder Wanhuo's shout, many people in the Medicine Clan suddenly became excited. Elder Wanhuo actually wants to refine the ninth-grade Xuandan!
"Haha, since both of you are so generous, I can't fall behind." Seeing this, old man Shennong laughed and waved his sleeves. The power of heaven and earth became chaotic again, and waves of tremendous energy were pulled into the fire cauldron in front of him.

"Since the three of you are in such a good mood, Xiao Yan can only accompany you."

Looking at the energy of heaven and earth that was torn into a mess, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His hand seals changed, and a terrifying suction force burst out directly from the fire cauldron, thrusting in violently, unscrupulously snatching the energy between heaven and earth.

In the square, many alchemists looked at the energy storm erupting with bursts of thunder in the sky, and their hearts were filled with shock. The four of them were actually refining the legendary ninth-grade Xuandan!
This kind of scene is rare to see in a hundred years!
"The four of them are refining the ninth-grade Xuandan."

Yao Dan, who was standing at the top, looked at the strange sight in the sky with a strange expression on his face. With his eyesight, how could he not see that the four people were competing with each other? He was not very clear about the others, but at least he knew Elder Wanhuo well. Although the latter's alchemy skills were not weak, if he wanted to refine the ninth-grade Xuandan, the success rate would probably not exceed 20%.

Moreover, to refine the ninth-grade Xuandan, one needs to absorb a terrifying amount of heaven and earth energy. Although the heaven and earth energy within a radius of ten thousand miles of the medicine mountain is extremely rich, it is obviously not possible to support the condensation of four ninth-grade Xuandan. According to his estimation, even if all the heaven and earth energy within a radius of ten thousand miles of the medicine mountain is absorbed, it would be difficult to refine a ninth-grade Xuandan, not to mention... Now that these guys have started, they are going to refine four.

"If the ninth-grade Mysterious Pill is so easy to refine, then the quantity would not be so scarce." Yao Dan shook his head slightly. In his heart, he did not think that any of the four people would be able to successfully refine it. Therefore, in this contest, the four people would probably fail and end up in a draw.

Of course, he had sharp eyesight and could see quite far, but the others did not have such eyesight. Therefore, they all looked at the sky with shock and ecstasy on their faces. This kind of alchemy phenomenon was truly rare in the world.

At the table, Yao Lao frowned slightly. Although he knew that before setting off this time, Xiao Yan got a prescription for the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill from the Grand Elder of Danta, which was one of the few prescriptions in Danta now, he had never expected that Xiao Yan would actually make it his target this time. Although there is only a one-word difference between the Ninth Grade Treasure Pill and the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, there is a world of difference between the two.

On the mainland, alchemists who can refine ninth-grade precious elixirs are extremely rare, but they do exist. As for ninth-grade profound elixir, Yao Lao has not heard of anyone successfully refining it in at least the past hundred years. From this point, one can vaguely understand the difficulty of refining ninth-grade profound elixir.

Far away in the sky, the energy roared crazily, and finally condensed into four huge tornadoes. One end of the storm was each connected to a fire cauldron, while the other end was desperately absorbing the rich energy of heaven and earth, and then continued Continuously pouring into the fire cauldron.

Faced with the almost life-threatening suction from the four people, the people around the square suddenly felt that the Dou Qi in their bodies showed signs of breaking out of their bodies. Horror surged in their hearts and they quickly retreated in panic, fearing that the Dou Qi they had cultivated so hard in their bodies would be sucked away by the four storms in the sky. If that happened, the loss would be too great.

This strange phenomenon in the sky lasted for nearly three days. During these three days, everyone had no idea how much energy had been sucked away from the world. The only thing they could feel was that the energy flowing in the air around them had become much thinner. The medicinal herbs around the square even turned yellow and withered. Their energy had been forcibly sucked away.

The ninth-grade Xuandan is a man-made divine object. The energy required for its formation is terrifying enough to shock many Dousheng powerful men. There were ancient books that recorded that in the ancient times, wherever the ninth-grade Xuandan was born, it was almost a thousand miles of wasteland, because all the energy of this world was incorporated into the elixir. And because of this, the ninth-grade Xuandan possessed amazing intelligence after it was born. Of course, if you want to reach the level of the little Danta ancestor, it is not easy. The latter's formation was originally a bit of luck, and when it was formed, it fused with part of its owner's soul, which caused the Danta ancestor to mutate. And after thousands of years of practice, he has reached his current level. Speaking of it, he should be considered a unique existence.

Although the people of the Medicine Clan were a little heartbroken about the medicinal materials that had turned yellow, they were helpless. Some elders of the Medicine Clan took advantage of the opportunity and quickly sealed some of the more precious medicinal fields in the Medicine Mountain. By the time the alchemy is finished, this medicine mountain will probably become deserted.

This endless swallowing lasted for three days. At noon on the third day, everyone suddenly felt that the sky, which had been roaring non-stop, had suddenly become much quieter. Looking up, they saw that the four huge tornadoes had quietly dissipated. Four huge fire tripods, about hundreds of feet in size, were suspended in the sky. Faintly, there were extremely shocking energy fluctuations emanating from them. Even Xiao Yan and the other three looked extremely solemn because of the fluctuations. If this exploded, even if they could save their lives, they would at least be seriously injured. "The energy of the heaven and earth within a thousand miles has been completely absorbed."

He grabbed a handful of medicinal pills in front of his face and then shook his head helplessly. The energy contained in the air was already thin to a terrifying level. If he wanted to make this mountain of medicinal herbs as rich as before, it would take at least a few seconds. month time.

"The energy of heaven and earth is insufficient, and the alchemy fails."

Many elders of the Medicine Clan were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The prototype of the elixir in the four-person medicine cauldron was only half completed, but now all the energy of the heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles had been completely absorbed, and there was no longer enough energy to support them to continue refining the elixir.

A soul that has reached the great perfection of the Heavenly Realm can at most allow four people to control the energy of heaven and earth within a range of ten thousand miles. Of course, if the soul can advance to the legendary Emperor Realm, it will be a completely different level. At that time, as long as the soul perception can reach a certain place, it will be able to control the energy of heaven and earth for its own use. It is said that in ancient times, there was a super strong man whose soul had entered the Emperor Realm. With a single thought, he controlled the energy of heaven and earth of nearly half of Zhongzhou. That level is terrifying just to think about.

In the sky, Xiao Yan and the other three opened their tightly closed eyes at this moment, looking at the unformed pills in their respective medicine cauldrons, their brows knitted together. If they could not continue to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, it would obviously be impossible to fill this huge pit with their own fighting spirit alone.
"It seems that no one can succeed this time." Elder Wanhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Hey, that may not be the case." As soon as Elder Wanhuo finished speaking, Hunxuzi in the distance had a strange smile on his face. His handprint suddenly changed, and he slammed his palm hard on the fire tripod in front of him.
Suddenly, three black flame pillars burst out, and finally turned into three madly rotating black holes above the fire cauldron of Xiao Yan and the other two. The terrifying devouring force burst out, and suddenly, the vast energy that had been absorbed in the fire cauldron of the three people for several days turned into pillars of light that were forcibly swallowed into the black hole.

"Hun Xuzi, how dare you!"

Seeing this scene, the faces of the three people turned gloomy almost instantly. They had never expected that Hunxuzi was so bold and directly set his sights on the three of them.

Elder Shennong and Elder Wanhuo roared angrily, and the Flame of Life and the Nine Nether Wind Flame suddenly swept out and slammed into the black hole fiercely. However, facing the fierce attack of the two, the black hole instead spun faster and faster, and the devouring power surged, and even swallowed some of the two people's strange fire.

Seeing that their attempt to stop it was futile, Elder Shennong and Elder Wanhuo's faces suddenly turned ugly. Although the Flame of Living Beings was ranked high, it was more famous for its auxiliary power. If they really fought, they would never be the opponent of the Void Devouring Flame. As for the Nine Nether Wind Flame, it was only ranked tenth, and the gap between it and the Void Devouring Flame was difficult to make up.

"Haha, with the strange fire of the two of you, trying to stop the Void Devouring Flame is just a dream!"

Hunxuzi laughed loudly, but as soon as his laughter fell, his expression changed, and he looked hurriedly at the black hole that was above Xiao Yan's Fire Cauldron. He saw a ray of fire flashing out from the Fire Cauldron, and then turned into a fire baby. The fire baby waved its hand with disdain, and pink flames gushed out, directly surrounding the black hole. The devouring power in it would be dissolved by the strange purifying power when it encountered the pink flame.

The Void Devouring Flame possesses the power of devouring, while the Pure Lotus Demon Fire possesses the power of purifying. Although it is difficult to tell which is better, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in Xiao Yan's hand not only possesses the spirit of strange fire, but is also the true origin of fire. On the other hand, Hunxuzi is just a seed fire. Although this is not an ordinary seed fire, it is obviously impossible to compare with the Pure Lotus Demon Fire transformed by Xiao Yi.

"Hunxuzi, thank you for your gift. I will accept the energy in this strange fire first!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, purified the black flame into pure energy, and then poured it all into the fire cauldron. Suddenly, the light inside became brighter, and the shadow of the elixir prototype became more and more solid.

"This boy"

In the distance, Hunxuzi's face darkened. He did not expect that not only did he fail to absorb any energy from Xiao Yan, but he also lost a fire seed. However, after this setback, he could only give up the idea of ​​attacking Xiao Yan. Although his Void Devouring Flame Fire could make it difficult for Elder Shennong and Elder Wanhuo to deal with it, it was obviously not enough to deal with Xiao Yan's Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

"Hmph, you won't be so proud for long." Hunxuzi's eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled coldly. His handprint changed, and the black hole that had been continuously devouring the energy in the fire cauldron of Elder Shennong and Elder Wanhuo, suddenly increased its devouring power. As more and more energy was poured into it, the prototype of the elixir in the fire cauldron became brighter and brighter. At this speed, it was actually showing a tendency to take shape.

"almost."

Seeing this scene, a hint of joy suddenly flashed across Hunxuzi's face. However, at the moment when his joy appeared, a pink flame suddenly slowly swept over and transformed into a fire baby standing on his fire cauldron. It first curled its lips at him with disdain, then slapped the cauldron lid away, and finally, in front of Hunxuzi's dull gaze, it grabbed the prototype of the elixir that had not yet taken shape and ran away.

"You are seeking death!"

The sluggishness lasted for a moment, and Hun Xuzi's almost furious roar suddenly resounded in the sky.
