Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 32 is out!

"Is there any reason not to?" The old apothecary smiled knowingly.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Xuan Kongzi took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It's just that in all my years, this is the first time I've seen a 15-year-old sixth-grade alchemist. With this kind of talent, if he had been born in ancient times, he might have become an emperor-grade alchemist."

Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi's words, Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, whose face was dark with age, also fell silent.

"Hehe." The old doctor chuckled subtly, gently stroking his beard.

Silent and pretending to be an expert!

"If we weren't here, your grin would be stretching from ear to ear."

Xuan Yi, who knew Yao Lao best, sneered.

"Hehe." Yao Lao chuckled noncommittally. As Xiao Yan's teacher, he was naturally very happy that Xiao Yan was shining so brightly.

Seeing the three people's shocked expressions, he was secretly overjoyed. Fortunately, he was professionally trained and was able to restrain himself.

"Old man, don't be too happy yet. If your disciple wins, we'll have to study alchemy for a month." Xuan Yi's soul transmission suddenly entered Yao Lao's ears.

Upon hearing this, the old doctor's smile, which he was barely able to suppress, suddenly changed drastically.

Within a month, even the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was sucked out.

The audience in the square naturally had no chance to see the exchange between the four; all they could see were the young alchemists sitting cross-legged in the square.

"Look! That little baby drinking beast milk has actually refined a grade three Qi-restoring pill!"

"Yes, although this pill is the easiest to refine among the third-grade pills, even simpler than some second-grade pills, it is still just a twelve-year-old child."

With this child's talent, he might be able to advance to the fourth rank by the age of fifteen.

"Not bad, this talent is top-notch even in the Pill Tower. Apart from a prodigy like Cao Ying, I'm afraid no one can suppress it steadily."

"That's not right. Look at Dan Chen from the Dan family, she's not simple either. She's just too introverted and low-key."

"Judging from the way she's switching between the two flames, could she be refining the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill?"

"The Three-Patterned Azure Spirit Pill with two types of flames can be considered a high-grade fourth-rank pill. If another type of flame is added, it will be comparable to a fifth-rank pill."

"She's only a little over fourteen years old, that's incredible!"

"Judging from Cao Ying's technique, it seems she's trying to refine a Spirit-Conquering Pill!" commented some of the higher-ranking alchemists.

Although the Spirit-Strengthening Pill is difficult to refine, its formula is widely known, and many alchemists of the sixth rank and above are familiar with it.

"No way, someone this young can already refine a Spirit-Refining Pill?" Some people's eyes widened in disbelief.

"With such monstrous talent, it's no wonder that President Xuan Yi took her as his personal disciple. If this girl can grow up smoothly, the Pill Tower will have another giant within a hundred years."

In the regular audience seats, many sixth-grade alchemists were already top figures, but in some VIP seats and elder seats, many seventh-grade alchemists' eyes were not only on Cao Ying, but also on Xiao Yan.

"How is this possible!" A group of renowned seventh-grade alchemists stared intently at the golden ancient vine inside Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Is this kid really going to refine the Imperial Supreme Pill?!"

Similar to the Douling Pill, the formula for the Huangji Pill is not rare, since many Douhuang experts need this pill.

Most high-level alchemists possess the recipe for the Imperial Extreme Pill, but those who can refine it are undoubtedly among the most outstanding sixth-grade alchemists.

But how old is this boy in front of me?

"I thought Cao Ying was already invincible among his peers, but I didn't expect someone to be even more monstrous than him. Whose disciple is this!" Several alchemists who were not far from the eighth rank stared intently at Xiao Yan.

At their level, besides breaking through to the eighth rank as soon as possible, the only thing they need to worry about is cultivating an excellent disciple.

If this boy's teacher is not very strong, I will definitely try my best to get him to become my disciple.

"Everyone, stop overthinking. This young man is the disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen." A faint, bitter laugh rang out, causing the group of enthusiastic elders to feel as if they had been doused with ice water.

The Medicine Venerable Yao Chen is an insurmountable mountain in the hearts of alchemists in the Central Plains. If anyone could climb over this mountain, it would probably only be the legendary ninth-grade alchemist.

Ninth-grade alchemists are elusive and rarely seen; many seventh-grade alchemists may never even have the chance to meet one in their entire lives.

"In that case, this young man is not someone we can get our hands on. We should just watch the show quietly." A group of old men sighed and sat down to drink tea.

As time passed, the young alchemists all successfully refined the pills they wanted to make.

Of course, some people accidentally caused the furnace to explode during both of their attempts to refine medicine because they did not control the heat properly. Fortunately, these teenagers came from wealthy families and their cauldrons were of good quality, so no one was in danger.

"Ding!" A crisp sound rang in Xiao Yan's ears.

Not far away, Dan Chen made a hand seal, and a dark blue pill with black and red markings emitted energy fluctuations as it struck the high-quality medicine cauldron, producing a crisp sound.

"Phew!" Dan Chen exhaled, a hint of happiness finally appearing on her tense little face as she reached out her fair hand and grasped the pill.

A moment later, another sound of pills forming and energy striking the cauldron rang out, and it was none other than the oldest-looking alchemist.

At this moment, he held a blood-red, fifth-grade Blood Lotus Pill in his hand! Clearly, this person had also managed to barely enter the fifth-grade ranks.

As everyone finished refining the medicine, only Cao Ying and Xiao Yan's medicine cauldrons remained burning with flames.

"Xiao Yan! You're doomed to lose this time!" Cao Ying shouted after a moment.

A deeper, clear sound rang out from her phoenix-patterned medicine cauldron.

With that clear chime, an apricot-yellow pill flew out of the cauldron, its energy attracting the attention of countless powerful figures.

"Battle Spirit Pill! Cao Ying actually refined the Battle Spirit Pill!" someone exclaimed.

"As expected of a demoness, her talent is simply monstrous!"

Ignoring the gasps of the crowd, Cao Ying stretched out her slender hand and put the Dou Ling Pill into the jade bottle, then turned and stared intently at Xiao Yan.

"I refuse to believe you can refine a sixth-grade pill!" Cao Ying gritted her teeth, looking at Xiao Yan, who remained calm.

She had been focusing almost all her energy on alchemy and hadn't paid any attention to Xiao Yan at all.

As numerous pills were produced, the alchemy plaza became bustling and noisy, but Xiao Yan remained calm and composed.

He channeled his soul power into the medicine cauldron, carefully sensing the changes in the flames within.

Within this, a mass of colorless and transparent, boundless energy is slowly merging with a mass of golden medicinal liquid. Streams of various medicinal essences are precisely injected into it at every moment, neutralizing the power between the two energy masses.

A golden pill the size of a fist is slowly taking shape.

"The final step!" The flames in Xiao Yan's hand suddenly intensified, and the golden pill embryo began to spin rapidly within them.

"A sixth-grade pill, can this kid really refine it?"

Above the Pill Tower, the three giants were also staring intently at Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron.

The old doctor standing to the side also looked at Xiao Yan with a worried expression. After all, he had failed to refine the Imperial Pill three times before, and he could not guarantee that he would succeed this time.

"If this boy succeeds in refining the Imperial Extreme Pill, he will be the most heaven-defying alchemy genius in the Dou Qi Continent in the past hundred years." In the VIP seats and elder seats, a group of seventh-grade alchemists were also staring intently at Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron.

"Dong!" Half an hour later, accompanied by a loud and clear sound, a golden beam of light directly lifted the lid of the medicine cauldron and shot straight into the sky.

"What kind of pill is this? How can it have such a huge energy fluctuation!" Countless people in the square were drawn to it, and faced with this powerful energy fluctuation, Cao Ying's originally spirited face turned pale again.

The golden beam of light lingered in the air for a full breath before slowly dissipating.

As the beam of light dissipated, a dazzling golden pill appeared before everyone's eyes.
