Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 680 I humbly request my master to witness my graduation!
Above the sky, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the milky white pill that was once as bright as a pearl now resembled a burnt-out copper bead, its entire body corroded by mottled rust, devoid of any spiritual essence.

The four bolts of lightning representing the essence of the Medicine Clan, like the phantom of the divine tree, were completely devoured by the wolf soul that soared into the sky, turning into a rolling black tide with the force of swallowing the heavens!
A dense purplish-gray light spread out, and even the sky above the entire Holy Pill City was now completely corrupted by darkness.

"Xingji!"

On the stands, the two elders of the Medicine Clan were pale. They never dreamed that the Medicine Clan Divine Tree summoned by Yao Xingji would become someone else's wedding dress!

The phantom of the divine tree has always been a harbinger of abundance and prosperity for the Medicine Clan.

At this moment, they were actually devoured by the purple-gray wolf soul. They were unwilling and dared not think about the implications of this.

"Soul Palace."

The elder of the Medicine Clan, his eyes bloodshot, roared to the sky and was about to pounce down.

At this moment, he had lost all his previous composure and was clearly out of control. His screams were like blood seeping out, shaking the eardrums of the surrounding crowd so violently that they almost lost their hearing.

"The 'Stealing Pill' secret technique—such a vicious method! How dare you use it at the Pill Gathering? Does the Soul Palace intend to start a war with my Medicine Clan?!"

Xuan Kongzi and the others looked at the old man who was on the verge of madness, their lips moved slightly, but they hesitated to speak.

"Hehe, I am here representing the will of the Soul Palace."

The old man Mu Gu smiled coldly, with a disdainful mockery: "But the two of you alone probably can't represent the Medicine Clan's decision, can you?"

"you!"

The elder of the Medicine Clan had a gloomy face, his teeth clenched so tightly they seemed about to burst.

As members of the Medicine Clan, going to the mainland to participate in the Pill Gathering was already a demotion for them. Now, not only did they fail to win the competition, but they also had to bear the burden of going to war with the Soul Palace. Even a fool would never allow the Medicine Clan to agree to this.

This is a naked threat!

On the high platform, Yao Xingji's face was ashen as he stared blankly at the pill that had lost all its spirituality, as if his spine had been removed.

"My medicine."

In order to condense the four-colored pill lightning, Yao Xingji almost gave up all the resources at his disposal, and even did not hesitate to use a trace of his bloodline essence, all in order to summon the phantom of the divine tree and thus spread his fame throughout the Central Continent.

He could almost foresee what kind of future awaited him when he achieved immortality.

With the Nine Nether Wind Flame and the eighth-grade pill that summons the phantom of the divine tree, it can be said that once today is over, he will firmly secure his third place among the younger generation of the Medicine Clan!
Now, all his accumulated knowledge and achievements have become someone else's prize!

"Ahhh."

Yao Xingji's eyes turned bloodshot, and he staggered as he ran towards Elder Mu Gu like a madman: "You cheated! The Pill Tower and the Yao Clan will not let you get away with this! We will not let you get away with this!"

"Give me back my pills! Give me back my pills!!"

"Ignorant child."

The old man Mu Gu shook his head, not even glancing at him. With just a trace of the wolf spirit's pressure in the sky, he forced Yao Xingji to cough up blood repeatedly, sending him flying backward like a blood-stained sack.

"I wish to accomplish what no one has accomplished before, so I specially refined this 'Soul-Devouring and Bone-Eating Pill.' Its effects are so strong that it can devour all the spiritual energy of the surrounding world when it is formed. What does it have to do with me that your pill was affected?"

The old man's voice was hoarse and raspy, each sound like a vengeful ghost, carrying the most merciless sarcasm, causing Yao Xingji's body to tremble violently, and he couldn't help but let out a hoarse, strange cry.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Only at this moment did he finally realize that the reason why Elder Mu Gu was able to make such smooth progress was entirely due to his own efforts.

He used his power to force Danta to submit!

He was the one who manipulated the Nine Netherworld Flames and exploited the loopholes in the rules of the Pill Refining Society!
All these seemingly advantageous actions were actually paving the way for Elder Mu Gu.
From beginning to end, he was the other party's puppet.

"."

Yao Xingji appeared to be insane, his body trembling violently as if in spasms. The excruciating pain of his bones being suppressed and shattered even distorted his consciousness, causing him to emit a series of shrill howls.

But what hurts more than the physical body is the soul.

The extreme humiliation and irony caused Yao Xingji's soul, which was at the highest level of the Spirit Realm, to crack and break at this moment, and his mind collapsed.

"idiot."

Looking at the young man who roared like a wild beast, Elder Mu Gu sneered and looked away.

From beginning to end, he never regarded Yao Xingji as an opponent.

With a wave of his hand, the wolf spirit's bloody maw opened wide, and the profound pill hidden within finally revealed its magnificence.

"Hahahaha! Fifty years have passed, and I have finally waited for this moment!" Old Man Mu Gu laughed wildly, his beard and hair flying wildly, looking like a ghost, impossible to look at directly: "Old man, today, not only will I trample you under my feet, but even your disciple whom you treated as your own son!!"

All his plans and schemes, his only true adversary was Yao Lao.

Now that things have come to this, there is absolutely no one who can stop him!

"Without spiritual energy, without the energy of heaven and earth, I'd like to see how your disciple manages to form a pill!"

Thunder roared across the sky, and the dense thunderclouds, now incredibly thick, were pouring down like an iron curtain, accompanied by rolling, muffled thunder.

Looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, Yao Lao's face darkened, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes: "That is... Five-colored thunderclouds."

Having devoured Yao Xingji's pill lightning, the originally purplish-gray thunderclouds have now undergone a complete qualitative transformation, evolving into a terrifying five-colored phenomenon!
Xiao Yan did not look at Mu Gu, but quietly gazed ahead, in the direction where Hun Ruoruo was.

"Even without the energy of heaven and earth, I am still strong enough to defeat you."

At this moment, seemingly noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, Hun Ruoruo slowly opened her eyes and looked at him in return, her eyes filled with a smile.

Even after returning to the Soul Clan, even after abandoning her emotions and becoming the player who controls the chessboard, her heart is still occupied by a figure, even surpassing her reason.

Xiao Yan is her man.

The men she, Hun Ruoruo, sets her sights on never fail.

"come on."

The shape of her pink lips speaks volumes more than a thousand words.

Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, raised his hand and took off an ancient black ring held up by a silk thread from his neck, then put it on his fingertip.

"That's... the Bone Inflammation Ring?"

At the stands, Xuan Kongzi and the others, who were old acquaintances of Yao Lao, immediately recognized the origin of the ring, and their pupils shrank instantly.

Then, the storage ring flashed with light, and a huge, jet-black cauldron, like a mountain, crashed heavily onto the stone platform with immense force.

Eighth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking: Black Demon!

Taking out a second medicine cauldron during the refining process is undoubtedly an inconceivable thing for an alchemist.

As expected, Xiao Yan's action immediately drew astonishment from everyone:
"Those are... the storage ring and medicine cauldron that Venerable Medicine used in the past? What exactly is Xiao Yan planning to do?"

"As the disciple of the Medicine Venerable, it is only right for Xiao Yan to inherit his mantle. But isn't it a bit too late to reveal his trump card at this time?"

There was much discussion in the arena, but Xuan Yi stood frozen in place, staring intently at the young man who stood tall beneath the black tide, seemingly unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

"So alike, so incredibly alike!"

Her dark-clad eyes were bloodshot, and there was even a hint of tears glistening in them.

Even with Yao Lao right beside her, the feeling Xiao Yan gave her at this moment was still a thrill that no one could replicate.

"This boy!"

Elder Mu Gu was also startled, as if he was not fighting against Xiao Yan, but against the figure of that person from back then.

That was completely different from the old doctor he is today, carrying his former confidence and glorious demeanor!
The next moment, Elder Mugu seemed to realize something and raised his head in disbelief.

Not only him, but all the spectators stared intently at the sky, and under their dazed gazes, a second sun suddenly shone brightly on the dome that had been swallowed by darkness and gloom.

"Xiao Yan."

The old apothecary was also lost in thought and murmured to himself. He suddenly realized that the boy who had once not even reached his shoulder was now too old to be called a "little fellow".

The boy from Wutan City has grown up, and now, the old apothecary suddenly realizes that he has nothing left to teach.

Xiao Yan is about to graduate.

He needed to seek his own opportunities and begin to explore the path of alchemy on his own. As his teacher, the old alchemist could not protect him under his wing forever.

The fledgling eagle has grown up and should soar in the sky!

Above the sky, the young man bearing the great sun bent his knees and knelt down in front of everyone, respectfully kowtowing in the direction of the old doctor.

"After ten years of apprenticeship, today I humbly request my master to witness my graduation!"

Xiao Yan spoke each word with force and conviction, his eyes gleaming with an unwavering determination.
