Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Chapter 156 So slow, do you want me to wait for you?

"These—they're actually two Bone-Growth Pills!"

Xiao Yan's actions shocked everyone present; he actually refined two pills at the same time in such a short period of time!

It's important to know that there are only two opportunities in the entire Alchemist Conference, and the first one is basically used for trial and error.

Unless one is extremely confident in oneself, it is impossible to refine two pills at the same time.

Even so, if the two pills cannot be kept at a constant temperature, one may overheat and the other may not be hot enough, resulting in both being ruined.

It can be said that refining two pills at the same time is practically impossible unless the quality of the pills being refined is far superior, as the risk is too great.

But without a doubt, Xiao Yan's move made the audience boil over. As the saying goes, laymen watch the show. Even if they don't understand the difference between different alchemy skills, they must know that two pills are better than one.

"This guy is actually quite handsome." Even the usually proud and arrogant Princess Yaoye stared wide-eyed in the stands. No wonder her great-grandfather valued this guy so much; he did indeed have some extraordinary qualities.

"Hmph, it's just a show-off technique. If you fail, you won't even get past the first round."

The black-robed youth snorted coldly; by any measure, Xiao Yan was the victor in this round.

"Hehe, through the first round, you have surpassed most of the alchemists in the entire Gama Empire, but this alone is not enough to win the championship of this alchemist tournament."

Now I announce that the second round of the competition has officially begun.

Fa Ma said with a smile, and at the same time, the alchemy tables in front of all the remaining contestants slowly descended, and when they rose again, it was already the second round of questions.

The second round gave a complete pill formula, which even had a soul imprint on it.

"Wind-Riding Pill, a grade three pill. After taking it, one can improve one's understanding of the wind attribute, enhance the absorption of wind attribute battle qi, and also increase speed for a certain period of time."

There are nine ingredients for refining the Windwalking Pill, all of which are detailed in the Soul Pill recipe.

"Strange, this round of questions is a bit too easy."

"Could it be that because so many people were eliminated in the first round, the second round was slightly slower?"

After the first round, there were more than a thousand remaining alchemists. They looked at the third-grade pill formula and felt that it was unusually simple.

However, each ingredient is clearly listed, with even the content, purity, and cooking time recorded in detail.

If such a complete Grade 3 pill formula were available outside, it would cost at least 100,000 gold coins to buy.

Now, just for one conference, more than a thousand tickets have been sent out, which shows how wealthy the Alchemist Guild is.

"Hmph, a mere trick. This alchemist conference of the Gama Empire is nothing special."

The black-robed youth only glanced at the pill formula before noticing something was amiss, but some details still needed to be tested.

Two sets of materials are just enough to guarantee his 100% approval.

As for the other alchemists, they didn't notice anything unusual about the formula. To save time, they lit their cauldrons and began refining the pills.

Xiao Yan scanned the recipe for the Windwalking Pill with his soul. This recipe was newly created and he had never seen it before. At first glance, he could not see any problems with it.

But would the second round really be that simple? He didn't think so.

However, you'll only know where the problem lies by trying it.

Everyone started to light fires and refine medicine, beginning with the simplest extraction process.

The fact that there were no problems with the extraction of all the medicinal materials indicates that there is nothing wrong with the medicinal materials themselves.

Next came the process of fusing and arranging the medicinal essences. Xiao Yan was undoubtedly the fastest, fusing all nine medicinal herbs in an instant.

"Bang!"

However, just when he thought the pill was beginning to condense and stabilize, the entire essence of the medicinal materials suddenly collapsed, and all the medicinal essence turned to ashes in just a few seconds!

The refining failed?

Xiao Yan's failure surprised everyone. As the favorite to win the Alchemist Competition, he was the first to fail at refining.

Xiao Yan frowned. During the fusion process, he sensed that one of the medicinal herbs not only failed to accelerate the fusion but was instead beginning to reject it, hindering the fusion process.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

While Xiao Yan was pondering which step had gone wrong, a series of failures came from the other side, including those from Liu Ling and Princess Yaoyue.

It's important to understand that while refining grade three pills is somewhat difficult, skilled alchemists like them would not make basic mistakes like unstable heat control.

However, whether it was Xiao Yan, Liu Ling, or Yao Yue, they all failed to refine the pill, which means that there must be a problem with the pill formula.

At this moment, the black-robed youth's refining attempt had also failed, but he was not discouraged and quickly swept away the ashes.

The first round of trial and error had already shown him where the problem lay, and he began a new round of refining.

"They're just a bunch of mediocre people. Looks like I'm in the lead this round!"

Xiao Yan pondered the process of the previous fusion.

"Three-tailed Wind Leaf - No problem."

"The fruit that leaves the soil—no problem."

"Cloud Grass—no problem."

"Thick Earth Ganoderma—that's it!"

Xiao Yan recalled the problem in that part of the fusion process; he had made a mistake when fusing the Thick Earth Spirit.

Xiao Yan cleaned the alchemy platform and began a new round of alchemy.

"Hehe, so what if I find out now? I'm still in first place this round!"

The black-robed youth was very pleased with himself, and his movements became faster and faster.

Xiao Yan glanced at the other party's smug expression, seemingly believing that victory was already in his grasp.

"Interesting. I don't know what gives you the right to be so arrogant, but I just can't stand your mouth. So today I'll have a contest with you."

Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was also ignited, and his fighting energy began to circulate.

"Guys, get out here!"

Using the power of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, Xiao Yan instantly condensed eight flying fire beasts, which hovered above the platform of Xiao Yan's alchemy platform.

"What is that?!"

"Warcraft! Why are there warcraft here?!"

"Ah! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

The entire Royal Square erupted into chaos. Fama, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized the source of the eight fire beasts.

"Is this the characteristic of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire?" He then stood at the front and infused his voice with his battle qi, "Everyone, don't panic. These things are not magical beasts, but Xiao Yan's flames. They just take on the form of magical beasts and will not harm you."

With Fama's explanation, the initially flustered audience and guards gradually calmed down.

Tianye also ordered the soldiers to return to their positions, and the square gradually quieted down.

Xiao Yan simultaneously created eight flying fire beasts, controlling them to spew scorching flames while refining eight medicinal herbs.

"Holy crap, that's spectacular!"

"He's so handsome!"

"It's just like a kite, so beautiful."

He himself went directly to integrate the medicinal materials that were not yet fully refined, combining the two steps into one.

One second Xiao Yan fused with a portion of it, and the next second the remaining portion was also refined; the two processes were almost simultaneous.

Such an operation would be impossible without extraordinary spiritual power.

After combining the two steps, Xiao Yan's speed actually surpassed that of the black-robed youth.

"Damn it, how can there be such a lunatic? Isn't he afraid of failing and being eliminated?!"

While he was performing the second step of fusion, Xiao Yan had already reached the third step of condensing the core.

Eight fire beasts simultaneously spewed flames in one direction, and the firelight gathered in the medicine cauldron, as magnificent as rivers flowing into the sea!

This speed allowed him to significantly surpass the black-robed youth and enter the final step of pill formation.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan caused the eight fire beasts to dissipate. He then placed his right hand on the medicine cauldron and used his Dou Qi to continuously compress and knead the pill.

Finally, the pill was formed, popped out of the cauldron, and was grasped in his hand. At this point, the black-robed youth's pill condensation had only just begun.

"You're taking so long, do you want me to wait for you?"
