Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Chapter 86, The Rank 6 High-Grade Royal Ultimate Pill Astounds Everyone! [Bonus Chapter for 900 Monthly Tickets]

"All participants, please proceed to your assigned seats immediately! The grand final is about to begin!"

A loud voice, imbued with spiritual power, swept across the entire alchemy plaza like a tide, silencing the clamor of voices.

Hundreds of alchemists who had successfully advanced to the finals walked solemnly toward the wider and better-equipped stone platforms in the center of the square.

The tension in the air was almost tangible.

Guhe took a deep breath and walked toward his prominent stone platform.

With a flick of his wrist, a magnificent medicine cauldron, entirely crimson in color, carved with flame and cloud patterns, and radiating impressive energy fluctuations, appeared on the stone platform, attracting envious glances from many nearby alchemists.

This "Flame Cloud Cauldron" was obtained at great cost. It can effectively improve the temperature and stability of flames and is an important tool for him to refine high-level pills.

However, standing before this beloved medicine cauldron, Gu He's heart was like a lake with pebbles thrown in, turbulent and restless.

Ultimately, the goal was to achieve a stable and high-level fourth-grade Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill.

Guhe frowned, his heart filled with an unprecedented struggle.

Or should we take the risk and forcefully attempt to obtain the Windwalking Pill at the initial stage of the fifth rank?

At the peak of the fourth rank, he was more than 70% confident of success, and the quality would not be bad.

But facing the unfathomable Xiao Qing, are fourth-grade pills really enough?

The scene of refining medicine in the void yesterday, with strange flames illuminating the sky, haunted Gu He's mind like a nightmare.

If I don't refine fifth-grade pills, I'm afraid I won't even be worthy of his attention!

A strong sense of resentment and pride welled up inside me.

How could Guhe, the most renowned alchemy genius in the Jia Ma Empire, be afraid before even starting a battle?

"Let's give it our all!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Guhe's eyes as he finally made up his mind.

Even if there's less than a 10% chance of success, he's willing to take the plunge!

Gu He quickly took out the medicinal materials for refining the Grade 5 Windwalking Pill from his storage ring and began to concentrate on preparations.

He believed that only a fifth-grade pill could possibly help him defeat Xiao Qing and turn the tide!

Meanwhile, on another prominent stone platform, Xiao Qing moved with composure.

Xiao Qing did not take out any particularly ornate medicine cauldron. With a wave of his hand, a medicine cauldron that was entirely black, with a simple and unadorned shape, but which exuded a sense of vicissitude and weight, landed steadily in the center of the stone platform.

It is indeed the Black Demon Cauldron of the Medicine Master!

After the old apothecary fell into a deep sleep, Xiao Qing took out his beloved cauldron and began to refine medicine with great fervor.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Qing waved his sleeves again, and dozens of medicinal herbs of various shapes appeared as if summoned.

They flew out of the storage ring and hovered neatly above the stone platform.

These medicinal herbs are diverse in type and have different energy properties. Among them, several main herbs exude a powerful medicinal force that is breathtaking. As soon as they appear, they cause subtle fluctuations in the energy of the surrounding world.

On the viewing platform, President Fama, who had been closely watching Xiao Qing, suddenly jumped up from his seat when his gaze swept over the medicinal herbs. His aged face was filled with extreme shock and horror, and even his voice trembled slightly: "The Black Demon Cauldron! That's—the Black Demon Cauldron?! And those medicinal herbs—"

"Those are the ingredients for refining the Imperial Supreme Pill! He—he actually wants to refine a high-grade sixth-rank Imperial Supreme Pill?!"

"The Imperial Pill?!" Yunshan, who was sitting to the side, was also startled upon hearing this.

Although Yunshan was not an alchemist, he did not know what the Black Demon Cauldron represented.

But how could he not know the fame of "Huangji Dan"?

That's a rare treasure pill that can raise a Douhuang powerhouse's cultivation level by one star!

Yunshan's gaze instantly sharpened, fixed intently on the medicinal herbs on Xiao Qingshi's platform.

Sure enough, Yunshan identified several essential medicinal herbs that were indispensable for refining the Imperial Elixir!

"The Imperial Supreme Pill?! A high-grade sixth-rank pill?!"

"My God! He can refine sixth-grade pills? That makes him a sixth-grade alchemist?!"

"Such a young sixth-grade alchemist—this—how is this possible?!"

Fama's gasp of surprise was like a bombshell dropped on the viewing platform, instantly causing a huge commotion.

All the unsuspecting nobles and powerful figures paled in disbelief, staring dumbfounded at the figure in blue robes in the center of the square, their eyes filled with disbelief and utter shock.

A sixth-grade alchemist is a highly respected figure in several countries surrounding the Gama Empire, yet this has now appeared in the body of a young boy?

Jia Xingtian gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

He watched as Xiao Qing took out the medicinal herbs he had provided, and his heart surged with excitement, like a raging storm.

"Finally—it's about to begin!"

On the square, Xiao Qing seemed oblivious to the commotion on the viewing platform.

With a slight thought, his immense soul power, like invisible tentacles, instantly enveloped all thirty-odd medicinal herbs suspended in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame leaped out from his palm once more, the pure azure flame seemingly possessing life.

Under Xiao Qing's incredibly precise control, the fire split into dozens of tiny streams, simultaneously refining all the medicinal herbs!

Extract all medicinal materials in one go!

Moreover, it requires sixth-grade medicinal materials with extremely demanding energy attributes!

This scene once again plunged the entire audience into a deathly silence.

Even Gu He, who had originally been determined to refine a fifth-grade pill, couldn't help but tremble when he saw Xiao Qing's effortless handling of refining more than thirty kinds of medicinal herbs at the same time. He almost dropped a precious auxiliary herb on the ground.

The color drained from his face, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.

Compared to his opponent, his alchemy skills were like child's play.

Xiao Qing focused intently, his soul power meticulously controlling the temperature and rhythm of each flame.

Under the terrifying heat of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, impurities in the medicinal herbs were quickly removed.

It transformed into an incomparably pure medicinal essence, suspended in the flames, emitting an intoxicatingly rich medicinal fragrance.

Once the refining was complete, Xiao Qing gestured with his hand, and the lid of the Black Demon Cauldron quietly opened.

More than thirty clumps of crystal-clear medicinal liquid, each a different color, flowed like guided spirits, tracing graceful arcs as they were precisely poured into the cauldron.

The lid closed, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, in the form of the main fire, completely enveloped the Black Demon Cauldron, beginning a more complex process of fusion and condensation.

Xiao Qing formed profound hand seals, and streams of soul power, along with battle qi, flowed into the cauldron, guiding the medicinal liquid to blend and react with each other, gradually evolving into the prototype of a pill.

Time slowly passed under the watchful eyes of countless tense gazes.

In the square, other alchemists had already begun their alchemy, their cauldrons roaring and flames rising.

But everyone's brilliance was completely overshadowed by Xiao Qing's.

Time is ticking away, second by second —

suddenly!

"Buzz!"

The Black Demon Cauldron trembled violently, emitting a deep hum.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly burst out from the cauldron, pierced through the energy shield above the square, and shot straight into the sky!

The radiance rapidly condensed in the sky, forming an illusory crimson cloud that spanned several tens of feet in diameter!

The crimson clouds slowly rotated, emitting a seven-colored glow, while an indescribably rich fragrance of cinnabar spread as if it were a tangible substance.

It instantly enveloped the entire alchemy plaza and even spread towards the more distant urban areas!

"Crimson clouds! It's a rare phenomenon called Crimson Clouds!"

"A sixth-grade pill! It really is a sixth-grade pill!"

"The Imperial Elixir! He succeeded!"
