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

Chapter 159 The Final Round Begins

The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill is a peak-grade fourth-rank pill. Its effect is very simple: anyone below the Great Dou Master level can directly increase their cultivation by one star by taking one pill and break through to the Great Dou Master level!

Even a Grand Master can increase their cultivation level by one star by taking one pill, with no obvious side effects.

If that's all there is to it, then this Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill is similar to the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill I took before.

But the beauty lies in the fact that the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill has three different stages.

Each pattern requires a specific flame to refine, and when the pill is complete, a pattern corresponding to the color of the flame will appear on the pill.

The Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill can be refined to have three patterns, maximizing its effectiveness. Anyone who takes it, even a Great Dou Master or below, can directly increase their cultivation by three stars!

However, due to the enhanced medicinal properties of the pills, the Qingling Pills with two and three patterns also come with some side effects, and there is a certain probability of failure in the upgrade.

Failure will cause your cultivation level to drop by one or two stars, but it will not endanger your life.

Most importantly, if you break through to the Dou Ling level, you can take another one, but the effectiveness of improving your cultivation will decrease by one star and the probability of failure will double.

It can be said that the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill has a range of effects covering Dou Shi, Great Dou Shi, and even Dou Ling, and its value is comparable to some fifth-grade pills!

However, refining these three-patterned Azure Spirit Pills is extremely difficult. First of all, each pattern requires a different type of flame.

Secondly, the switching between the three types of flames must be perfect. The temperature must not suddenly rise or fall due to the switching, otherwise the refining will fail.

It is already extremely rare for an ordinary person to possess even one type of flame, let alone to possess three types and master them skillfully.

"Hehe, young friend Xiao Yan, although this Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill is a fourth-grade pill, its value even exceeds that of some fifth-grade pills."

If this scroll of pill formulas were left out in the open, someone might even be willing to trade a low-level martial arts technique for its value. As an alchemist, you should understand that.

Fa Ma spared no expense to help Xiao Yan win the championship this time, as the formula for the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill was a treasured item of the Alchemist Guild.

Although the scroll in Xiao Yan's hand was a copy, it still took him five years to complete. However, it was precisely because it was a copy that Fa Ma was willing to take it out.

As the vice president of the Chuyun Empire, Yanli even had the ability to refine some fifth-grade pills.

However, the success rate of that was too low, so Yan Li's goal was naturally a fourth-grade pill. In addition, he was well-prepared this time and must have gathered all the necessary materials.

If it were a normal competition of resources and experience, I'm afraid no one in the entire Alchemist Conference could compare to him.

Therefore, Fa Ma took out this Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. Xiao Yan didn't need to refine all three patterns; refining just two patterns would be enough to defeat more than 90% of fourth-grade pills.

"The president brought out such a precious item, so he must want me to win the championship."

Xiao Yan naturally knew the principle of not accepting rewards without merit. Although this fourth-grade pill formula was precious, it was nothing compared to the reputation of the entire alchemist community of the Jia Ma Empire.

"Not bad. Among the contestants I've chosen for this competition, you, Liu Ling, and Xiao Yue'er are all quite good, but the other two are clearly not as good as you, and their chances of defeating Yan Li are slim."

Therefore, I chose you. As long as you win the championship, the conspiracy of the Izumo Empire will naturally fall apart. Consider this pill formula as my advance payment to you.

Even at this moment, Xiao Yan remained unaffected by the allure of this substance and calmly asked, "Does the Guild Master have that much confidence in me? What if I fail to win the championship? Wouldn't this pill formula have been wasted?"

Xiao Yan's words resonated with Fa Ma. After all, although the pill formula was precious, it was also very difficult to refine, and he couldn't guarantee that Xiao Yan would be able to do so.

"To be honest, at this point, it's impossible for me to find someone better than you in a short time. So, regardless of winning or losing, this pill formula is yours. In addition, I will prepare three sets of medicinal materials for you to use in the refining process."

Due to the time constraints, there aren't many medicinal herbs for you to practice with in advance, but I think three portions should be enough. After all, if three portions haven't been refined yet, there probably won't be enough time.

Xiao Yan remained silent for a moment, then smiled slightly and probed the pill formula with his soul to read it completely.

Because it was a copy, the prescription could only be read once before it faded and became a blank sheet of paper.

"President, I dare not say that I can definitely refine it, but I will do my best."

Xiao Yan dared not make too many promises to Fa Ma, but he still had a strong sense of confidence. He believed that in the current situation, if he couldn't do it, then no one else could either.

"Hehe, that's true, but I still want to ask, how confident are you in your ability to refine it?"

Although he had placed his bets on Xiao Yan, Fa Ma still wanted to hear Xiao Yan's opinion of him.

"About 60%."

When Xiao Yan obtained the pill, he hadn't considered the first or second pattern, so he was referring to the chance of getting the third pattern.

According to Fa Ma's ears, Xiao Yan has a 60% chance of successfully refining the Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.

"Sixty percent is not bad. If it were those two little guys, they probably wouldn't even reach fifty percent."

Fa Ma nodded, placing all his hopes on Xiao Yan. All he could do now was patiently wait for tomorrow's decisive round.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, go back and get some rest. I look forward to your performance tomorrow."

Fa Ma didn't dare to keep Xiao Yan any longer, fearing it would put too much pressure on the other side. Xiao Yan bowed slightly to him and left the Alchemist Conference.

"Sigh, I hope I didn't misjudge him this time." Fa Ma sighed as he watched Xiao Yan's departing figure.

The next morning, the stands were filled with onlookers early on, and after two rounds of competition, only more than 500 people remained in the huge square, which originally had more than 2,000.

These alchemists who made it to the third round were no ordinary people; the vast majority were third-grade alchemists, and even those who were second-grade were still among the best.

"Today is the final round of this Alchemist Conference, and it is also the day we witness the rise of a new star."

The challenge this time is to let your creativity flow freely. Take out your treasured elixir formulas and medicinal herbs, and use what you consider to be your most skilled and masterful techniques to refine an elixir.

Before the hourglass ends, refining any pill can be considered a completion, and the final judgment will be based on a combination of the pill's difficulty, value, and quality.

Whoever refines the most precious and best-quality pills will be the champion of this Alchemist Competition.

-

Give it your all and don't leave any regrets.

"Then I hereby declare the final round of the 7th Alchemist Conference of the Gama Empire officially begun!"
