At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 339 Elder Lin, this time, I'm finally going to catch up with you!

"That's perfect. Our goal this time is to lure the Soul Palace into a trap, which can also be considered revenge for you," Xuan Kongzi stroked his beard and laughed. "Now that you're involved, our chances are even greater."

A glint flashed in Yao Lao's eyes: "The crisis of the Three Thousand Burning Flames has been resolved?"

In Yao Lao's view, otherwise, Danta would never risk the safety of the entire Holy Dan City.

Xuan Kongzi did not hide anything and recounted in detail how Lin Mo subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Now that there was no longer any safety concern, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime Pill Gathering to severely damage the Soul Palace.

It is important to know that the feud between the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace has a long history.

"It's him?" The old apothecary's expression was complicated.

"You know Lin Mo?" Xuan Kongzi asked, slightly surprised.

The old doctor shook his head with a wry smile: "This guy is a monster. You might not believe it, but when I first met him, he was just a minor Dou Wang."

"The younger generation is truly remarkable, surpassing the older generation." The woman in black robes pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "I remember your disciple also participated in this alchemy gathering, right?"

Yao Lao nodded.

Everyone looked up and saw Xiao Yan's figure appear in the light screen.

“My disciple is also participating in this alchemy competition. How about we make a bet and see whose disciple will win the crown?” Xuan Kongzi said with a smile.

Back then at the alchemy gathering, Xuan Kongzi was slightly inferior and lost to Yao Lao, which has always been his regret. Now it seems he wants to win it back from his disciple.

Just like in the original novel, Xiao Yan overcame numerous obstacles and even discovered the Earth Core Soul Marrow in the Pill Realm, successfully breaking through the final barrier in his soul realm and arriving at the Spirit Realm.

As his soul realm was elevated, his alchemy skills successfully reached the eighth rank.

Originally, Xiao Yan's chances of winning against Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the two prodigies from the Pill Tower, were not high in this Pill Gathering.

Now it's completely different.

This year's Danish finals were far more exciting than in previous years.

In the past, the appearance of even one Rank 8 pill had essentially secured the championship.

This time, Danlei appeared at the competition venue one after another.

Nine high-grade seventh-rank pills hung in mid-air like bright pearls, which would have caused a sensation on ordinary days.

But at this moment, no one cares—

Above them, five Grade 8 spiritual pills stood suspended in mid-air, emitting a heart-palpitating aura!
Within the star field, Lin Mo sat leisurely in front of the light screen, watching the duel with great interest.

He had already ended his seclusion and was now cooperating with the three giants in this grand performance at their invitation—of course, Danta spared no expense in terms of compensation.

With his current level of expertise, Lin Mo can immediately tell the difference between a seventh-grade pill and an eighth-grade pill.

Although they look very similar, the biggest difference lies in their spirituality.

A seventh-grade elixir, though rich in energy, is a dead elixir.

Eighth-grade pills, however, already possess their own spirituality; only such pills are called living pills or spiritual pills.

Lin Mo looked up.

Five Rank 8 pills appeared, and immediately set aside some distance from each other. Among the five pills, Cao Ying's and Dan Chen's pills had slightly weaker spiritual energy, with a faint spiritual mist swirling around them, which vaguely condensed into the shapes of a fox and a rabbit.

Eighth-grade pills already possess spirituality; it seems this is indeed true, as they can even condense into a shape on their own.

Lin Mo nodded slightly. He had also gained a lot from watching the entire competition.

At the competition venue, countless eyes gazed curiously at the five Grade 8 pills suspended in mid-air. Such a spectacle was something many were seeing for the first time; Grade 8 pills were indeed extraordinary.

Not far from Cao Ying and Dan Chen's two pills were three other pills that were relatively enormous. Among them, the pill of the renowned eighth-grade alchemy master, Qinghua Laoguai, condensed into the shape of a bear, but it did not have any intention of fighting. Instead, it sat guarding its own territory, because it knew that if it really clashed, it would not be able to withstand the other two ferocious beings.

Surrounded by three Rank 8 pills, the pill that had triggered four-colored lightning, belonging to Elder Mu Gu, was overflowing with spiritual energy and condensed into a fierce tiger shape. It kept growling at Xiao Yan's Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, as if it was very unwilling that the other party had stolen the prestige that should have belonged to it.

"The outcome is decided," Lin Mo said with a smile.

The words fell.

A dense surge of spiritual energy rapidly appeared around the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill that Xiao Yan had refined, transforming into a majestic lion that slapped the tiger-shaped pill belonging to Elder Mu Gu with a powerful blow. The latter whimpered miserably, then slunk away with its tail between its legs. The Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, having undergone the baptism of five-colored pill lightning, was far beyond the power of Xiao Yan's fourth-grade pill lightning.

In the star field.

A pill was also floating in front of Lin Mo.

With nothing else to do, Lin Mo decided to refine one himself while watching them refine medicine.

A dense aura of spiritual energy rapidly surged around the pill, transforming into a small dragon about half a meter long. The dragon roared to the sky, and its brilliant light spread outwards like a blazing sun.

This shows just how terrifyingly pure energy is contained within this small pill.

Even the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill that Xiao Yan refined, which had undergone the baptism of five-colored pill lightning, was far inferior to the pill in front of Lin Mo.

At this moment, everyone in the entire Holy Pill City was focused on the Pill Gathering.

With Lin Mo's current methods, coupled with the isolation of the star field, he did not attract anyone's attention.

The scene of the Dan meeting.

On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi looked at the other pills that were almost suppressed by the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill and dared not resist in the slightest. He couldn't help but smile, and then said loudly: "Pills are valued for their spiritual essence. Now, the most precious pill of this Pill Gathering has been born, and its owner... is the final champion of this Pill Gathering. He is Xiao Yan!"

Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi's concise and powerful words, countless gazes immediately turned to the stone platform. A moment later, a deafening cheer resounded throughout the land.

They witnessed a miracle, a heroic act of single-handedly turning the tide!
Such boldness has stirred the hearts and minds of countless people.

Standing on the stone platform, Xiao Yan looked down at the bustling square, his blood boiling with excitement.

"Teacher, I have not disgraced you."

Xiao Yan searched through the crowd for Yao Lao's figure, but strangely, he couldn't find him. However, he quickly calmed down and went to receive the reward for winning the Pill Gathering: a scroll of soul cultivation method passed down from ancient times.

With a smile on his face, Xuan Kongzi waited for the applause that had resounded through the sky to gradually subside before saying, "The champion has been chosen. Two days from now, the Star Domain will open. At that time, all those who make it into the top ten of the Pill Gathering will have the opportunity to enter and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, Xiao Yan, who had just calmed down, suddenly had an uncontrollable surge of excitement in his eyes. All he had worked so hard for was the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

Elder Lin, this time, I'm finally going to catch up with you!
