Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 31 Shocks the Three Giants of the Pill Tower

When the Dou Wang expert saw Xiao Yan write down the three words "Huangji Pill," he was first stunned, then his face showed shock. 🐝👤 ❻❾Şн𝓊χ.匚σ𝓂 🎉🐟

"Are you really going to refine the Imperial Pill?" He couldn't help but ask, looking at Xiao Yan's still somewhat immature face.

The Imperial Extreme Pill is a sixth-grade pill, and it's one of the best among sixth-grade pills.

"Is there a problem?" Xiao Yan asked politely with a smile.

"No, there's no problem at all." The Dou Wang expert quickly shook his head and turned to hand over the slip of paper to prepare the materials.

The Pill Tower is wealthy and powerful. Since it said that materials below the seventh grade could be chosen at will, it must have been prepared. In any case, the materials for the two sets of Imperial Pills were not provided by him, so this Battle King would naturally not have any objections.

Just thinking about that boy's delicate and youthful face still left him deeply moved.

"Elder! These are the pills that the disciple of the Medicine Venerable wants to refine!" He handed the slip of paper in the red plate to a high-ranking seventh-grade elder.

"Hmm?" The elder nodded slightly, then his eyes widened in surprise.

"A sixth-grade Imperial Pill!" He looked at the white-robed youth in the square and examined his frighteningly young face closely.

"Go ahead, it's just the ingredients for two sets of Imperial Extreme Pills. If this kid can really refine the Imperial Extreme Pills..." The elder fell silent.

A fifteen-year-old who can refine a fifth-grade pill is already considered a prodigy. If he can refine a sixth-grade pill, which is countless times more difficult to refine than a fifth-grade pill, then this young man's talent cannot be described as prodigy.

At least in his lifetime, he had never encountered such a genius.

At the top level of the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi had already left the square and returned here. There were four people standing here at this moment, namely the three giants of the Pill Tower and Yao Lao.

"Tsk tsk, there are quite a few outstanding young people this year." The old apothecary said with a smile as he looked at the teenagers in the square.

"Old man, I think you just want to show off your disciple." Xuan Yi rolled his eyes at Yao Lao.

"Hehe." The old doctor didn't say anything, just stood there with a smile.

Seeing his mysterious demeanor, even Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but feel curious. Given Yao Chen's personality, if he could make him show off like this, just how extraordinary must his disciple's alchemy skills be?

To be so confident in front of Cao Ying, one must be at least a fifth-rank official, or perhaps even at the peak of the fifth rank.

"If that's the case, this boy's talent is indeed extraordinary." Thinking of this, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but glance at the white-clad boy on the playground.

He remained all smiles, arguing with Cao Ying while teasing the young girl from the Dan family, making her blush with embarrassment.

At this moment, those powerful warriors who had gone to fight returned, each carrying a storage ring on a red plate in their hands.

"Here are the alchemy materials you requested." The Dou Wang expert handed the storage ring in his hand to Xiao Yan.

"Thank you." Xiao Yan stopped arguing with Cao Ying and carefully examined his storage ring by infusing his soul power into it. Although it was almost impossible for someone of the Pill Tower's level to make such a mistake, being cautious was the greatest respect one could show to oneself.

After confirming that everything was correct, Xiao Yan put the storage ring down with peace of mind.

"Look at how cautious you are. Do you think we in the Pill Tower would make such a small mistake?" Cao Ying couldn't help but mock Xiao Yan when she saw his cautious demeanor.

"Being serious is taking responsibility for yourself. Would you really want to completely hand over your important matters to someone else to control?" Xiao Yan retorted.

Cao Ying snorted coldly, but she also carefully examined her storage ring.

As everyone finished their inspection, another bell rang out, echoing throughout the land.

"Thump!"

"The time has come, all contestants, prepare yourselves! I hereby declare the competition officially open from this moment on!" As the bells rang, an elder of the Danta stood up and announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of medicine cauldrons in the square simultaneously burst into colorful and dazzling flames.

"Wow!" The crowd in the square suddenly became excited at the sight of this scene. Although this competition was not as frighteningly prosperous as the Pill Gathering, it was still an extremely lively time in the Pill Domain.

Today, they may witness some rising stars in the world of alchemy.

As everyone threw the flames into the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan also stopped waiting. He opened his mouth and spat out a small blue lion, which flew out of his mouth and landed in the medicine cauldron. The next moment, blue flames rose up in the medicine cauldron.

"I really don't know what kind of medicine this guy is trying to make!" Cao Ying, who was standing to the side, glanced at Xiao Yan with her long, narrow eyes, and then immediately composed herself.

Once you begin alchemy, you must not be half-hearted, otherwise the chances of failure will increase greatly.

Xiao Yan also got into the zone earlier than Cao Ying.

After confirming that his mind had calmed down, Xiao Yan took out a sixth-order fire-attribute magical beast's magic core from his storage ring and threw it into the medicine cauldron.

"Boom!" As soon as the demon core entered the cauldron, it was enveloped by cyan flames and burned wildly.

The core of a sixth-order magical beast is quite hard. With Xiao Yan's current Dou Qi and beast fire, it would take at least an hour to refine its essence.

Beside her, Cao Ying also had a fifth-order magical beast's magic core burning inside her medicine cauldron.

About an hour later, Xiao Yan had burned the demon core into a crystal-clear red liquid.

With a flick of his finger, Xiao Yan sent more than ten medicinal herbs into the cauldron. He multitasked, sending out a flame to continue calcining the demonic core energy, and another ten flames to purify the essence of the herbs.

"Dustless Grass, Cleanse the Spiritual Marrow." Another half hour passed before Xiao Yan threw the various extracted medicinal essences into the ball of red liquid energy one by one.

"Hiss." The red energy hissed as it came into contact with the medicinal essence, sending up wisps of white smoke.

Xiao Yan remained calm, his dark pupils deep and unfathomable, as he continued the fusion process methodically.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the originally fiery red energy was washed away by the neutralization of various medicines and turned into colorless, transparent, attribute-less energy.

The first step in refining the Imperial Pill is to wash away the energy attributes from a sixth-order magical beast core, and then continuously purify it to ensure that the energy is pure.

After confirming that the energy was sufficiently pure, Xiao Yan placed it into a small bottle supported by warm jade.

He glanced over and saw Cao Ying controlling several medicinal herbs as they were continuously calcined.

"These are the ingredients for refining the Dou Ling Pill." Looking at the fragrant sweat on Cao Ying's forehead, Xiao Yan secretly rejoiced that he had spent the last few days practicing alchemy with Yao Lao. Otherwise, given his previous level, he might not have been able to suppress Cao Ying reliably.

But things are very different now.

"Little girl, just wait and see how I conquer you." Xiao Yan chuckled, then glanced at Dan Chen, who was looking serious, took a deep breath, and took out another piece of golden old vine and threw it into the medicine cauldron.

Flames rose, the temperature was scorching, and there were occasional explosions from failed refining attempts, as well as the excitement of people getting pills and the shouts of the audience. But at the top of the Pill Tower, the former three giants of the Pill Tower were now staring dumbfounded at the white-robed youth who threw the old vine into the medicine cauldron.

"Refining the magic core of a sixth-tier magical beast, the Imperial Immortal Vine. Yao Chen, you disciple, are you perhaps planning to refine the Imperial Pill?!"
