Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 444 Asking on behalf of Xun'er

"The beast fire of a seventh-tier magical beast." Xiao Yan glanced sideways slightly. The resources in the Black Corner Region were indeed much richer than those in the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire.

He could almost be said to be the de facto controller of the resources of the two great empires, but after collecting them for so many years, the highest-grade beast fire he obtained was only sixth-order.

With a wave of his arm, the red flames in the old man's palm swept into the glowing red medicine cauldron.

In an instant, the entire medicine cauldron burst forth with a dazzling red light, making it the most eye-catching spot in front of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

As for Liu Ling's completely calm side, apart from Xiao Yu who paid some attention, the others no longer cared.

After all, Liu Ling's teacher, Xiao Yan, was very young and his alchemy abilities were unknown, making her, as his disciple, even more suspicious.

Unlike martial arts cultivation, alchemists have powerful techniques and resources to support them, allowing them to improve even with average talent.

Alchemy requires a suitable physique, which alone excludes many people.

To make significant progress in alchemy, one needs a teacher to provide meticulous guidance.

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Yan, Liu Ling's teacher, doesn't seem like a suitable teacher.

After glancing at the crowd who were all focused on watching Old Man Huo refine medicine, Xiao Yu leaped to the top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"Will it work?" Xiao Yu asked softly, brushing a stray strand of hair from her forehead with her jade-like hand.

"Whether it works or not, we've already gone up there, so this question doesn't seem important anymore," Xiao Yan said casually.

Those people at the Alchemist Conference were indeed somewhat lacking; the pills refined by this old man with the fire posed a certain challenge to Liu Ling.

Xiao Yu rebuked, "How can you be a teacher? Your students are completely helpless down there."

Seeing that Xiao Yan remained unmoved, Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, took a step forward with her fair and slender legs, and moved a few steps closer.

Glancing at the elegant and beautiful Liu Ling below, Xiao Yu said somewhat awkwardly:

"Who is this Liu Ling? When did she become your disciple?"

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Yu: "This doesn't seem to be a very important issue. I'll tell you about it after the competition."

After saying that, Xiao Yan couldn't help but stare at Xiao Yu.

As one of the people he nurtured in his youth, Xiao Yu's talent and potential had already been greatly enhanced.

After practicing the techniques he provided, and with the support of resources, they would definitely not be weaker than those geniuses from the Central Plains.

Even some geniuses from ancient families couldn't match Xiao Yu's cultivation speed.

Such a promising talent, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't let him go to waste.

In particular, someone is now needed to take control of the strange fire and become its spirit.

What type of strange fire would be suitable for Xiao Yu? Xiao Yan silently pondered in his heart.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Xiao Yu blushed as she was stared at by Xiao Yan's undisguisedly intense gaze. "Right now, you should be more concerned about the disciples' competition."

After saying that, Xiao Yu declared, "Moreover, I'm asking on behalf of Xun'er."

Thinking of her elegant and refined cousin, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel wronged for her.

"Poor Xun'er, she has been diligently cultivating in Canaan Academy, silently waiting for you. Who knew that in these three years you would actually take in such a disciple and live a carefree life outside."

Xiao Yu wrinkled her nose: "Let me tell you, Xun'er is a very popular teacher in the academy. Be careful she doesn't get angry and run off with someone else."

"Oh, right, and there's also Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, whom you stole!" Xiao Yu reminded him.

Yun Yun is currently in seclusion, cultivating diligently. It will likely be several decades before she emerges. Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his nose, asking curiously, "Xun'er is also a teacher, why hasn't she shown herself?"

"She's probably at a crucial stage in her cultivation. Her talent is truly astonishing." Even though she only mentioned it, Xiao Yu's delicate face was still full of shock.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Of course, the Dou Di bloodline within my body is awakening at a high speed in my hands, which is incomparable to ordinary people.

The alchemy process was in full swing, with Old Man Huo intently adding one medicinal herb after another into the cauldron.

After the tenth medicinal herb was put into the cauldron, Old Man Huo's expression suddenly changed. A loud bang came from inside the cauldron, and the medicinal liquid that had taken a lot of effort to refine suddenly reacted violently.

The crowd in front of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower stared wide-eyed at Old Man Huo, never expecting that the Dragon Power Pill would be so difficult to refine.

Old Man Huo wiped the sweat from his forehead. The flame temperature hadn't been adjusted in time, and the combined effects of the two different medicinal liquids had ultimately led to the failure of the alchemy.

Although the first attempt at alchemy failed, Old Man Huo did not take it to heart.

This is perfectly normal.

No alchemist can guarantee a 100% success rate in their alchemy. Most alchemists can only try to increase their success rate as much as possible through training and continuous alchemy.

Otherwise, a single pill wouldn't command such a high price.

After summarizing his experiences from the failures, Old Man Huo cleaned the impurities from the cauldron and began refining the second batch.

After warming up his hands, Old Man Huo's refining movements became much smoother, and the speed at which he extracted each medicinal herb also increased significantly.

This time, he easily refined ten kinds of medicinal herbs, and after a short while, the total number of medicinal herbs he had refined reached more than twenty.

Seeing the imposing old man, the men who wanted to buy the Dragon Power Pill stared wide-eyed, their faces flushed with excitement.

Xiao Yu reached out and nudged Xiao Yan: "Why hasn't your disciple made a move yet? The Fire Master's refining process went very smoothly this time; it looks like he's about to succeed."

Looking at the old man who had already refined the embryonic pill, Xiao Yan said, "Refining medicine is not about speed, but about having a heart that is not swayed by external things."

"This fire elementalist is so old, yet he's still only a fifth-grade alchemist. His strength is already enough for him to break through, but what he lacks is a calm and composed mindset."

After a while, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted through the square.

With a bang, the lid of the medicine cauldron automatically rose, and the old man with the fire reached out and beckoned an oval-shaped pill that flew out of the cauldron and was immediately caught in his hand.

Looking at the dull-colored pill, even though Xiao Yu knew very little about alchemy, he knew that the quality of this pill was not very good.

The old man was quite satisfied and said, "Although the quality is a bit poor, it has still been made into a pill and has the effect of the Dragon Power Pill."

Looking up at Liu Ling's table not far ahead, where the medicinal herbs hadn't diminished at all, Old Man Huo said with a hearty smile, "They haven't even started yet..."

After closing her eyes and organizing her understanding of the properties of the Dragon Power Pill, Liu Ling slowly extended her jade hand under everyone's gaze.
