Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

Xiao Yan gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

The shout seemed to carry the power of the soul, instantly silencing the nearly one thousand inner court disciples present. Many alchemists were dumbfounded and terrified, as if the flames within their bodies were about to be drawn out and become uncontrollable...

Chapter 103 One Furnace, Two Refinements: A Show of Skill That Makes Your Scalp Tremble (First Update)

The scene was unusually quiet.

Even the late-arriving Elder Su Qian quietly shut his mouth. As the elder, he had to give a seventh-grade alchemy master face, regardless of whether he was a disciple of Canaan Academy.

Behind their formidable strength and cultivation lies a pride that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The group of elders landed in a secluded spot in the square, quite hidden, and were not noticed by any of the disciples.

"I heard that this pill was refined by Elder Liu?" an old man in a light yellow robe said with a smile.

"It shouldn't be. The Douling Pill is a peak fifth-grade pill. Although it is not inferior to a sixth-grade pill, it cannot be called a sixth-grade pill. With that person's alchemy skills, he would naturally disdain to use such a pseudo-sixth-grade pill to fill the gap..." Elder Liu pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Elder Liu is lucky to have met him on the very first day..." The other elders looked on with envy. To be able to connect with a seventh-grade alchemy master was truly something to be envied by others.

It should be noted that a seventh-grade alchemist is comparable to a Dou Zun powerhouse.

The last alchemist in the entire Black Corner Region who could refine a seventh-grade alchemy had gone to the Central Continent many years ago.

"Luckily, luckily..."

Elder Liu's mouth was practically splitting into a grin, but he forced a smile and waved his hand casually.

"Alright, watch quietly, it's about to begin."

Su Qian chuckled softly, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Yan.

If he can really refine seventh-grade pills, wouldn't that mean... he can also refine the pill that he wants?

He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Let's take a look first.

If the message from the Black Corner Region is true, refining a sixth-grade pill shouldn't be too difficult for him.

The scene grew increasingly quiet.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes.

Two fiery dragons, blotting out the sky, surged into the pitch-black Bagua furnace, illuminating the eight directions.

Pale blue and dark green overlap.

The flames around him materialized into countless hands, which threw the medicinal herbs floating in mid-air into the alchemy furnace one by one.

The ingredients for refining the Battle Spirit Pill are: Blood Python Branch, Immortal Spirit Grass...

"These are the ingredients for refining the Battle Spirit Pill?"

As an alchemist, Elder Huo was naturally familiar with the intricacies of alchemy. He immediately recognized the pill that Elder Huo was about to refine based on the medicinal materials and was somewhat taken aback.

It's not that top-grade fifth-rank pills aren't powerful.

It was simply because the young man said he was going to refine a sixth-grade pill today...

"Ahem, as expected of a young hero! Although this Fighting Spirit Pill is only a fifth-grade pill, its effects are no different from a sixth-grade pill. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a sixth-grade pill..." Elder Liu smiled and stroked his beard.

The elders: "..."

So you've said both the good and the bad things, huh?

"No, keep watching."

Su Qian's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the center of the arena.

Everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Yan in astonishment. They saw that after throwing out the ingredients for the Dou Ling Dan, he did not stop. Instead, he sped up and took out several more extremely precious pills and a sixth-order fire-attribute magical beast core, throwing them all in at once.

The other bystanders also noticed something was amiss.

They all looked at Han Xian, the most knowledgeable fourth-grade alchemist from the Medicine Clan, with some surprise.

Although his cultivation level was only at the Dou Ling level, the Medicine Gang's power was in no way inferior to the Wolf Fang under Lin Xiuya's command. In fact, they ran rampant in the inner courtyard because of the group of alchemists under their command.

Han Xian is the same, and he is worthy of sitting on the same level as these top ten figures on the power rankings.

"Is this... a way to refine a second pill at the same time? Is this guy insane?"

Han Xian didn't have time to pay attention to everyone. He had a look of disbelief on his face. Unless someone was refining a pill that was several levels lower than his own cultivation level, no one would dare to be so reckless. But this was a peak fifth-grade pill. Even Elder Huo's success rate was frighteningly low. He would be considered successful if he could get one out of ten.

This guy... actually dares to refine a second pill at the same time?

"Can you tell what the second pill is?" Lin Xiuya asked, his throat bobbing, somewhat incredulous.

"A sixth-order magic core, what do you say?" Han Xian exhaled a breath of turbid air, a mocking look flashing in his eyes. Madmen, they're all madmen, refining sixth-order pills while refining fifth-order pills.

One furnace, two refinements.

Even an ordinary seventh-grade alchemy master wouldn't dare to show off their skills like this.

This kid is incredibly arrogant. Once he loses control of the heat and blows up the stove, he'll know what it means to be low-key.

She gave a soft hum and crossed her arms over her chest.

He wanted to see just how capable this guy really was...

"Six, six, six... a sixth-grade pill!!!"

A low growl erupted from the crowd, and even Han Yue covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Wasn't he said to be a fifth-grade alchemist?

How did he become a sixth-rank official?

Based on her impression of Xiao Yan, he wasn't the kind of person who was ambitious and eager for quick success. Could it be... that he really could refine a sixth-grade pill?

"Om..."

A humming sound came from the dark furnace.

Flames shot into the sky, then quickly fell back down.

Two strange flames filled every corner of the furnace, and each side of the Bagua Furnace performed its own function, flashing with intricate patterns like those of ancient times.

Xiao Yan remained calm and composed. With each wave of his hand, a refined medicinal herb was swept into the center of the Eight Trigrams Furnace by the fire dragon.

His fluid and skillful movements amazed many inner court disciples, who inquired of his alchemist friend what he was doing. His friend, however, looked disgusted and scolded them for disturbing his viewing of the alchemy process…

"Hmph, it's just refining medicinal herbs, nothing special. The most crucial step is when the herbs are combined and fused into a pill. One wrong step and you'll fall into an abyss." Han Xian snorted coldly, still being stubborn.

After all, everyone knows that.

If this person truly succeeds in refining it, the structure of the inner courtyard will inevitably undergo a dramatic change, and the entire Medicine Clan will not be far from disbanding...

His status as Han Xian will inevitably decline rapidly.

Forget about the days when he was the center of attention; even the top experts on the ranking list who came to him for alchemy were few and far between.

The other top-ranked experts were well aware of this, but they remained silent and watched. Whether or not the pill could be successfully refined was not determined by words, but by actual results...

But in the eyes of Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing.

The two, however, preferred the latter, and that...

After all, the pressure that guy had exerted on them was truly terrifying.

Sure enough, it happened in no time.

The Battle Spirit Pill was refined at an astonishingly fast speed, just like a "quick-made pill." A rich aroma wafted out, filling the entire square. Some disciples with weak cultivation, even those at the Battle Master level, broke through their cultivation realm on the spot simply by smelling this medicinal fragrance.

P.S.: Regarding the Battle Spirit Pill, it was initially a sixth-grade pill, and later a peak fifth-grade pill. This was retconned by the author, so I've created a fan-made version to fix this setting, which I'll mention later.

"It's done..."

Inside the strange cauldron, a pale blue pill was visibly forming, its patterns clearly visible and as smooth as ocean waves. In Lin Xiuya's eyes, this meant it was ninety percent complete...

The last piece is almost ready to be baked.

Judging from Xiao Yan's calm and composed demeanor, he is clearly far from reaching his limit.

"Ding~"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the sound symbolizing the characteristics of a fifth-grade elixir quietly spread throughout the entire square.

Under the fervent gazes of many disciples, Xiao Yan casually waved his hand, tossing the now-formed Dou Ling Pill into a jade bottle and sealing it with the cap.

As the fragrance gradually faded.

Many onlookers then realized that this top-grade fifth-rank pill had actually been refined just like that.

Even more terrifying was that the flames of the Eight Trigrams Furnace were still blazing, and even higher-grade pills were gradually taking shape inside...

"Battle Spirit Pill, my Battle Spirit Pill..."

Elder Liu licked his lips, his voice filled with excitement.

Su Qian ignored him and instead looked at Elder Huo beside her: "What kind of pill is this second one?"

Elder Huo stroked his snow-white beard, somewhat hesitantly saying, "The medicinal herbs used are clearly those for refining the Spirit-Conquering Pill, but the demonic core is only sixth-grade. Could it be..."
