His eyes swept across the blazing fires on the dozens of stone platforms, and the atmosphere in this area of ​​the sky seemed to become silent and solemn and tense.

Every audience member present could feel that the most exciting and fierce competition of the Alchemy Association was about to begin.

Every molecule in the air was filled with anticipation and excitement. A pinnacle showdown in the world of alchemy was about to unfold...

Chapter 467 Xiao Yan's Pill Formation

On the stone platform, the blazing elixir fire was like a dancing elf. Upon careful counting, there were actually thirty-six flames burning fiercely.

This means that there are still the final thirty-six contestants who are concentrating on preparing their most proud elixir works!

Among the thirty-six alchemists who persevered to the end, there were naturally such highly-regarded names as Xiao Ling, Cao Ying, Xiao Yan, and Dan Chen.

They are all recognized as the most powerful contenders with the greatest potential to win the championship in this Dan Conference.

Each of them used their own strength and alchemy skills to add a strong touch to this grand elixir competition...

Xiao Ling sat upright on the stone platform, the constant thunder from the horizon seemed to have been automatically blocked out by him. His entire mind was poured into the medicine cauldron without reservation.

At this moment, inside the medicine cauldron, the dark golden flame was swirling and jumping, and the hot breath made the entire cauldron glow slightly red.

However, these external changes were not the focus of Xiao Ling's attention. His eyes were always fixed on the spinning round object in the center of the flame.

The round object is a crystal of medicinal power that has been carefully refined and fused with the essence of hundreds of medicinal herbs.

From the initial fist size to the size of a pigeon egg now, its volume has gradually shrunk under the refining of the flame.

Its shape also becomes more rounded during high-temperature forging, exuding a mysterious and attractive luster.

On the surface of the round object, the energy of life and death intertwined and flowed, like two yin and yang fish rotating silently. They were entangled with each other, yet independent of each other, creating a mysterious and unfathomable atmosphere.

As the volume of this round object gradually shrank, an energy fluctuation that made Xiao Ling feel palpitating quietly formed. This fluctuation was hidden, but it contained a power that even Dou Zun strongmen dared not underestimate.

If this pill exploded at this moment, its power would probably be enough to cause serious damage to a peak Dou Zun warrior, or even blow him half to death.

Therefore, the process of refining elixirs is always accompanied by certain risks.

The scenario of a low-level pill furnace exploding is still bearable, and it usually does not pose too serious a threat to alchemists.

However, if a high-level pill explodes during the refining process, especially in the final stage when the pill is about to take shape, the consequences of the explosion will be disastrous...

……

While Xiao Ling was concentrating on refining the elixir, the alchemists on other stone platforms were also facing severe challenges.

Their faces were filled with solemnity, and some of them had begun to turn pale. Obviously, this high-intensity refining process was a great test of their mental and physical strength.

They are under tremendous pressure, and their limits are being challenged every minute and every second.

In this tense atmosphere, the foreheads of many alchemists were covered with tiny beads of sweat, but their eyes revealed a firmness and unyielding persistence that would not allow any mistakes.

"Boom..."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, a low roar suddenly erupted in the sky.

Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat and their eyes quickly locked onto the source of the sound.

I saw a middle-aged man staring at the medicine cauldron in front of him with a dull expression, and the energy fluctuations faintly revealed in it were chaotic.

The man looked a little disheveled, obviously having suffered quite a big impact, and the alchemist's robe, which had originally been gorgeous and neat, now looked a little tattered.

This scene undoubtedly shows that he encountered an unexpected accident during the refining process.

"How is this possible?"

The middle-aged man stared blankly at the medicine cauldron, his eyes instantly filled with blood and turned blood red.

All his hard work over the past twenty days had vanished in an instant. This blow was undoubtedly too much for him to bear.

Looking at the dazed face of the middle-aged man, a low sigh was heard from the people around him. They felt sorry for what happened to the alchemist.

In the world of alchemy, failure is common, but in such a critical situation, even a small mistake may mean losing the opportunity to compete with the heroes.

At the alchemy meeting, some people laughed, some cried, some became famous overnight, and naturally some left the stage sadly.

This place has never been a stage for comedy alone, but is filled with the true portrayal of the joys and sorrows of countless alchemists.

……

Under countless pairs of expectant gazes, time passed quietly, and several days and nights passed.

During this period, a total of nine alchemists successfully refined pills. Among them, the most outstanding quality was a pill that reached the seventh grade.

When this pill was born, the sky and the earth changed color, and thunder roared. The continuous thunder was like a roar between heaven and earth, causing many people present to tremble in their hearts and look frightened.

And this elixir that caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth came from the hands of an old man with a slightly old face.

This old man was obviously famous on the mainland, so although everyone was shocked that he was the first to refine a seventh-grade high-level elixir, they were not too surprised.

Naturally, in this alchemy event, some people reached the top while others fell to the bottom.

In just five days, although nine people successfully refined the elixir, seven people also tasted the bitter fruit of failure.

Amidst numerous regretful and sympathetic gazes, they finally chose to exit the stage in disgrace with full reluctance.

With the departure of these sixteen people, and the participants who withdrew early due to various reasons, there are only a few people left on the stone platform who insist on refining pills. Only a dozen people are still persisting...

Their faces were filled with determination and perseverance. In this alchemy competition, everyone was fighting for their own dreams and glory.

Above the azure sky, the wind was raging, and the dark clouds had long been blown away. However, the low sound of thunder came from nowhere and continued to echo between the sky and the earth...

This strange scene made many viewers secretly amazed. However, those who were experienced could see the source. The thunder did not come from the sky, but from the medicine cauldrons on the stone platforms...

"boom!"

Suddenly, a low roar was heard. Before everyone had time to shift their gaze, they felt a powerful energy fluctuation burst out from a stone platform like lightning.

As this energy surged, dark clouds in the sky quickly condensed, as if summoned by some inexplicable force. Countless silver snake-like lightning raged through the clouds and spread in all directions.

At this moment, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly became tense, and the powerful energy fluctuations spread in all directions like a tide, making everyone present feel a sense of oppression that they had never experienced since the start of the Alchemy Conference.

"Look over there, that's Xiao Yan from the Northern Territory!" A sharp-eyed person in the crowd exclaimed, his voice full of surprise.

“Tsk tsk, I heard that he was once hunted by the Glacier Valley and had nowhere to escape. Later he disappeared for a while, but now he is shining brightly at the alchemy conference. He is really a monster.” Others echoed, their tone revealing envy of Xiao Yan’s legendary experience.

"That's right. If Xiao Yan relies on his superb alchemy skills to join a powerful force, even Glacier Valley will not dare to attack him easily in the future." Another person continued, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Just as everyone was talking, Xiao Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged under the dark cloud sky, suddenly stood up. He stood proudly and stared at the thick, inky clouds in the sky with high spirits.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky rolled and changed color, and a violent energy suddenly erupted from the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan, sweeping out like a hurricane, bringing up a series of powerful wind blades.

This force instantly made the black robe Xiao Yan was wearing rustle, and finally it was completely torn apart by the wind, revealing his handsome and resolute face.

Even with Xiao Yan's personality, which was more stable and calm than his peers, he could not suppress the joy in his heart at this moment. The corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly, and his eyes flashed with pride and accomplishment.

The pill thunder that descended this time was more violent than any previous time. This fierce power was enough to make Xiao Yan feel extremely proud.

"This is actually a top-grade seventh-level elixir! Observing its energy fluctuations, it seems that its quality is so high that it has surpassed all the seventh-grade high-level elixirs we have seen before." Some knowledgeable alchemists around could not help but exclaim in amazement when they saw this scene.

"Tsk tsk, this Xiao Yan is only in his twenties, yet he can actually refine such a high-level elixir. With this kind of talent, I'm afraid only top-notch talents like Cao Ying and Xiao Ling can steadily suppress him."

Everyone was talking about it, their tone expressing surprise as well as recognition of Xiao Yan's extraordinary talent.

Against the backdrop of thunder, Xiao Yan slowly raised his hand, holding an unusually round pill high in his hand, like a dazzling night pearl.

At this moment, the thunder in the sky was like playing the most exciting music, shaking people's hearts.

The elixir emitted a soft light in Xiao Yan's palm, which reflected with the surrounding electric light, forming a spectacular picture.

Xiao Ling was naturally aware of the disturbance caused by Xiao Yan. He turned his head slightly and cast his gaze in the direction of Xiao Yan.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was in high spirits, with a confident smile on his face, and he exuded the youthful vigor and vitality.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile slightly and shook his head gently, with a bit of appreciation and emotion in that action.

Being able to refine such a high-grade seventh-grade peak elixir, it seems that Xiao Yan’s chance of winning the top ten spot in this alchemy conference is a foregone conclusion.

With the establishment of this achievement, Xiao Yan's reputation also became like a bright star, shining brightly in the sky above the Zhongzhou continent.

From then on, when people mentioned Xiao Yan's name, it would no longer just be about the thrilling past when he was hunted by the Glacier Valley, but more about his stunning performance at the alchemy conference.

As if sensing Xiao Ling's gaze, Xiao Yan subconsciously turned his body slightly, and his eyes passed through hundreds of stone platforms and looked straight in the direction of Xiao Ling.

Their eyes met in the air, and at that moment, Xiao Yan stretched out his free arm and gently waved to Xiao Ling as a greeting.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled faintly and nodded gently. Then he gathered his soul power and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Okay, Xiao Yan, you should focus on dealing with the pill thunder first. If this seventh-grade peak pill that is about to take shape is destroyed, it will be a joke for others."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyes instantly and stared at the thunderclouds that had already condensed in the sky.

The thunderclouds were rolling, brewing destructive power. Silver snakes were shuttling through the clouds, and it seemed that they would plummet down at any time and turn everything into nothing.

Facing this scene, Xiao Yan seemed quite calm. He just waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible gust of wind blew up.

His fingertips lightly touched the storage ring, and in a flash, a bright silver earth demon puppet appeared out of thin air beside Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ling casually glanced at the Earth Demon Puppet and immediately recognized that this was the puppet he had left in the Xiao family that year.

His gaze lingered on the golden body, and he noticed that there were subtle golden lines engraved on it. These lines were like ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

Apparently, Xiao Yan had used the pill thunder generated when he was refining the seventh-grade elixir to upgrade the grade of this Earth Demon Puppet.

Now, this Earth Demon Puppet is almost reaching the threshold of Sky Demon Puppet. Its power should not be underestimated. Even when facing a Dou Zun strongman, it can still put up some resistance.

Xiao Ling secretly estimated in his heart that in the near future, Xiao Yan might have a powerful bodyguard of the Dou Zun level by his side.

Such an existence, even in Zhongzhou, a continent full of powerful people, undoubtedly provides Xiao Yan with solid security.

Under Xiao Yan's command, the Earth Demon Puppet seemed to have received a command from life and instantly came alive. It rushed towards the sky without fear, facing the violent thunder.

The Earth Demon Puppet's powerful physique appears even harder under the illumination of thunder, as if it were a warrior born to withstand the wrath of heaven and earth.

Every time the thunder strikes, it is like the purest power between heaven and earth is tempering it and improving its quality.

The Earth Demon Puppet was seen shuttling back and forth in the lightning. Every time it came into contact with the thunder, it was accompanied by dazzling light and deafening thunder.

But the Earth Demon Puppet seemed to be bathed in the baptism of power and did not retreat at all.

In just a few moments, it easily resolved the seemingly fierce Dan Lei with amazing efficiency.

Throughout the entire process, the Earth Demon Puppet displayed a tenacity and strength beyond ordinary people's comprehension, which made all the onlookers stare in awe.

Xiao Yan's nonchalant way of dealing with Dan Lei aroused envy and jealousy from many alchemists present who were witnessing this scene for the first time.

If you can have a puppet that can absorb Dan Lei's energy by your side, then Dan Lei will no longer pose a threat in the future. Instead, you can use its power to cultivate a loyal and powerful personal bodyguard who will obey your orders at any time.

Those who were well-informed could not help but think of the similar puppet that Xiao Ling had demonstrated before, a strange creature that could also absorb the energy of Dan Lei.
