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

Chapter 160 A peak-grade fourth-rank pill, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill!

The final round of the Alchemist Tournament began, and everyone gave it their all.

Although this topic may be a big blow to some unprepared alchemists, most alchemists are fully prepared.

"No matter how bizarre or outlandish the test questions you give, I will definitely be the champion this time!"

Yan Li snorted coldly, then took out a pitch-black medicine cauldron. The cauldron was covered with hideous ghost faces, and its mouth was like a grown-up ghost mouth.

"This—it's actually a fifth-tier medicine cauldron, the Ghost Mouth Cauldron!" Fa Ma, with his extensive experience, recognized the medicine cauldron that Yan Li was using at a glance.

Liu Ling and Yao Yue were not to be outdone, and they both replaced the medicine cauldrons they had used in the previous two rounds.

Liu Ling's medicine cauldron was entirely black and red, with volcanic patterns covering its surface, and it was also a fifth-order medicine cauldron.

"The Volcanic Furnace—the very cauldron that the legendary Pill King Guhe used to win the championship back then. It seems Guhe has high hopes for Liu Ling this time as well."

This volcanic furnace is considered a star medicine cauldron, and many alchemists in the Gama Empire know about it.

Not to be outdone, Yao Yue pulled out a bluish-white medicine cauldron, which turned out to be a fifth-tier medicine cauldron as well.

"The Azure Flame Cauldron? I remember several of our old buddies fought tooth and nail over it back then, but I never expected it to end up in this girl's hands."

Frank casually mentioned it, while the branch presidents next to him lowered their heads slightly in embarrassment.

The appearance of three fifth-tier medicine cauldrons brought the final round to a climax, while Xiao Yan, who had been the focus of attention, took out the third-tier black cauldron he had used a few days ago.

"Oh dear, I'm getting senile! How could I forget about that? I should have prepared a fifth-tier medicine cauldron for him too!"

When Fa Ma saw Xiao Yan's rather shabby medicine cauldron, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had thought of everything, but why hadn't he thought of this?

However, the medicine cauldron itself is only an auxiliary item. Although it can increase the alchemist's chances of success, a true master alchemist can refine pills with just a few simple movements.

For example, when Xiao Yan met Sheng'er, she was able to refine multiple pills using a broken pottery jar, which shows how high her alchemy skills were.

Of course, given Xiao Yan's current level, he really can't do that yet.

And these people's preparations didn't stop there. Princess Yaoyue summoned a blue flame that she had never summoned before. Although it was a flame, it had a watery quality in her hands.

"Good heavens, the guardian beast of the Gama royal family is still alive. And this little guy is lucky to have gained its approval and obtained the Dry Blue Water Flame from this sixth-tier magical beast."

Fama glanced at Elder Jia beside him; as a member of the royal family, Elder Jia naturally knew better than he did.

"Hehe, it's just good luck." Despite saying that, the smile on Old Jia's face was impossible to hide.

Liu Ling also used a kind of solid flame, which was brownish-red in color. It was the Flame Stone Mountain Fire of the sixth-order magical beast Volcano Beast that he obtained from the Mittel family through auction by using his family connections.

As for Yanli, he also uses a jet-black flame, so its rank must not be too low.

However, neither the Azure Water Flame nor the Stone Mountain Fire are worth mentioning in the face of the Strange Flame, a fact that Liu Ling had already experienced firsthand yesterday.

The competition proceeded with great enthusiasm, and all participants began refining elixirs.

Xiao Yan did not take action immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated. It would be very difficult to thoroughly comprehend a fourth-grade pill formula in one night, let alone a peak fourth-grade pill formula.

He now uses his powerful soul force to rapidly process the actions in his mind, recreating them in a simulated manner.

"Hmph, playing tricks. I guess you're just giving up because you can't come up with any good pills." Yan Li glanced at Xiao Yan, his contempt growing even stronger. As for Yao Yue and Liu Ling, he didn't even consider them a threat.

"Hahaha, I've succeeded!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the side, and someone had already finished refining it in less than a fifth of the time.

Everyone looked in that direction, even Yan Li was drawn to it: "There's another expert?"

The alchemist flicked his finger, dropping the pill into the groove, and a faint light, almost a mere green dot, began to flicker.

"A first-grade, low-level antidote pill, of medium quality."

The contents displayed on the jade tablet left everyone speechless. No wonder it could be refined so quickly; it turned out to be a first-grade pill.

"Hehe, winning the championship in this alchemy competition is impossible, but if I finish first, I'll be number one before the second person does!"

This bizarre train of thought left many people speechless, even Yan Li was somewhat powerless to comment: "Idiot."

Then everyone continued to refine the pills they had, but even when everyone had reached the last step, Xiao Yan still showed no sign of starting.

Half the time had passed in the hourglass, and Liu Ling and Yao Yue's refining process was nearing completion.

"Hehe, I'm really lucky today, I succeeded in getting the Floating Wind Pill on the first try!"

Princess Tianyue finished the finishing touches with swift and fluid movements.

"Floating Wind Pill, a grade four beginner-level elixir, of medium quality."

Tianyue flicked the pill into the groove, and the name and grade of the pill appeared on the jade tablet. This was the only pill she knew how to refine, and she didn't expect to succeed on her first try.

"Little princess, let me take the lead this time!"

Less than five minutes after Yaoyue finished refining, Liuling also finished refining, and a complete pill was formed.

"A fourth-grade, mid-level elixir, the Wood Heart Pill, of superior quality!"

With two people refining fourth-grade pills in succession, they have almost secured a place among the top few in the competition.

However, Yan Li scoffed at this: "Hmph, you greenhorn brats, do you think you can beat me like this?"

I've sacrificed so much for today, this time I must win!

After he finished speaking, a tangible fragrance of elixir actually condensed on Yan Li's medicine cauldron!

The fragrance of the pills was so strong that it formed a purple mist, a characteristic only found in fifth-grade and some peak fourth-grade pills.

As the pill gradually materialized, Yan Li smiled, as if with the advent of this pill, everything he had would blossom and bear fruit.

"Come forth, my elixir, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill!"

The surrounding purple aura was completely gathered and incorporated into the pill, and a pill that glowed with a faint purple light was produced.

"A top-grade fourth-rank pill, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, of superior quality!"

The large characters on the jade tablet weighed heavily on the hearts of all the alchemists in the Gama Empire, like a mountain.

Is it really possible for a young alchemist to refine pills of this caliber?

How many pills can surpass this level unless a fifth-grade pill is refined?

A nameless despair welled up inside him, and even Fama sighed helplessly, "Sigh, it still doesn't work?"
