Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 204: Whose Abnormal Fire is Trash?

Originally, there were still quite a few pharmacists who wanted to deal with Yang Xiaotian ruthlessly, but after seeing what happened to that disciple of Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, they were all too scared to make a move.

In the end, Yang Xiaotian refined and successfully fused all the ingredients.

When the Spirit Pill was completed, the fragrance filled the entire square.

All who smelled it felt their spirits refreshed and their bodies invigorated.

Shi Yongping, Long Lan, and others all had their eyes shining bright.

Just by smelling this fragrance, both knew that the Four Symbols Spirit Pill Yang Xiaotian refined was definitely not of low quality, at least it was of supreme grade.

As expected, there was an appraiser on site, who, upon appraising, excitedly said, “It is the pinnacle of supreme grade, approaching unique grade!”

The pinnacle of supreme grade, approaching unique grade!

Powerhouses from all sides at the venue were shaken in their hearts.

Supreme grade elixirs were also graded in levels.

Only those at the pinnacle of supreme grade were the finest below the unique grade.

The key was that Yang Xiaotian didn’t even use an Abnormal Fire yet refined a Four Symbols Spirit Pill of the pinnacle of supreme grade.

One must know that many pharmacists who possess an Abnormal Fire cannot refine a pinnacle supreme grade medicine even with the use of Abnormal Fire.

When Shi Yongping heard the appraiser say that Yang Xiaotian’s Four Symbols Spirit Pill was at the pinnacle of supreme grade, he couldn’t help but excitedly ask, “How long did Xiaotian take just now?”

“Nine minutes,” replied the appraiser excitedly.

Nine minutes.

Less than ten minutes.

And he had refined a Four Symbols Spirit Pill of the pinnacle of supreme grade.

Although the Four Symbols Spirit Pill was only an Innate Spirit Pill, everyone was still astounded.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yongping laughed excitedly, “Good! Excellent! After a hundred years, our Empire will see the return of a Medicine God!”

All who heard it were shocked.

Did the Grand Hall Master just imply that a hundred years later, Yang Xiaotian would surely achieve the status of a Medicine God?

Many people even looked at Gu Shaozong instinctively.

If Yang Xiaotian were to become a Medicine God in the future, what about Gu Shaozong?

Hearing Shi Yongping’s high praise of Yang Xiaotian, Gu Shaozong couldn’t help being consumed by jealousy. Even when he displayed his exceptional talent in alchemy in front of Shi Yongping, having received the Medicine God Su Dan’s inheritance, Shi Yongping had never praised him to such an extent.

Now, just because Yang Xiaotian had refined a Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he declared that Yang Xiaotian could become a Medicine God in the future?

The more Gu Shaozong thought about it, the more his anger flared. He waved his hands repeatedly, even using the Sun Moon Brilliance technique that he had never displayed before others.

Under Gu Shaozong’s control, the Heaven and Earth Fire separated into two distinctive forms.

One was exceptionally gentle, constantly rotating as if evolving into a bright moon.

The other was extremely fierce and violent, forming a massive burning sun.

The two forms of Heaven and Earth Fire alternated, melting dozens of ingredients one after another.

“Sun Moon Brilliance!” Wu You, a disciple on the main stage, exclaimed in shock.

Sun Moon Brilliance, one of the top ten alchemy techniques!

“Excellent!” Wang Zhou, seeing Gu Shaozong employing the technique of Sun Moon Brilliance, exclaimed with excitement, “Truly befitting of the number one young talent in our Empire’s pharmaceutical arena! To master such an ancient technique as Sun Moon Brilliance!”

“And to control it so proficiently too!”

The other Elders from the Empire Pharmacist Hall were equally thrilled.

The top ten alchemy techniques were extremely difficult to master and even harder to witness; many seasoned pharmacists were seeing the technique of Sun Moon Brilliance for the first time.

Even Lu Yi, who had only recently been promoted to Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall, marveled, “Young Master Gu will surely become the cornerstone of our Empire’s Medicine Realm!”

Upon witnessing Gu Shaozong’s use of the Sun Moon Brilliance alchemy technique, Long Lan also inwardly admired it.

He considered his own level of alchemy to be quite good, but if compared to Gu Shaozong in his youth, he would have paled significantly.

Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Gu Shaozong refined all the ingredients and fused them together.“`

Soon, the pill was formed.

At the moment of completion, the fragrance of the elixir pervaded the air, intoxicating everyone who smelled it.

The appraiser stepped forward excitedly to evaluate it, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke truthfully, “It’s of ultimate quality.”

Ultimate quality!

The expressions on everyone’s faces were vivid and varied.

That meant it wasn’t the pinnacle of ultimate quality.

Just now, Gu Shaozong had used the Sun Moon Brilliance technique to refine the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, but it was only of ultimate quality.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaozong’s face suddenly soured.

“Impossible! The Four Symbols Spirit Pill refined by our Brother Gu can’t just be ultimate quality!” a disciple of the Ancient Divine Palace couldn’t help but angrily protest.

The appraiser frowned, and at that moment, Chen Nian leapt down from the presiding stage, and personally appraised the Four Symbols Spirit Pill made by Gu Shaozong. After a brief moment, he looked around at the crowd and said to Gu Shaozong and the disciple from the Ancient Divine Palace, “Indeed, it is of ultimate quality.”

The disciple from the Ancient Divine Palace was rendered speechless.

Gu Shaozong clenched his fists tightly.

Normally, if a pharmacist were to refine an elixir of ultimate quality, it would be cause for immense joy, but this time, looking at the ultimate quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill he had refined, all he felt was an irritating sting to his eyes.

Yang Xiaotian had managed to refine an elixir of the pinnacle of ultimate quality without even using the ten great alchemy techniques.

And what about him? Even with the use of Sun Moon Brilliance, he still couldn’t achieve the pinnacle of ultimate quality.

Didn’t that mean his skills were lacking?

A man cannot admit to being inadequate.

Shortly after, Li Qianqian, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Zhu Miaomiao, and others also succeeded in refining their pills, but like Gu Shaozong, they only achieved ultimate quality.

Two hours later, the second round ended, with more than twenty people having refined ultimate quality pills, but only Yang Xiaotian alone had achieved the pinnacle of ultimate quality!

When Chen Nian announced the results, whether it was Gu Shaozong, Li Qianqian, or Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, and the others, their expressions all darkened.

Next came the third round.

“For the third round, you all may exercise your creativity,” Chen Nian declared loudly. “Whoever refines an elixir with a higher rank, better quality, and in a shorter time will be ranked higher.”

Upon hearing this, Long Xingkong smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, “Yang Xiaotian, we’re all going to refine Profound Level pills in the third round, you’re not still going to continue refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, are you?”

Li Qianqian, Zhu Miaomiao, and others all smiled.

At that moment, Long Xingkong was enveloped in a surge of purple light, and his Purple Luo Extreme Fire, ranked twelfth, flew out, eliciting a wave of astonished cries from the surrounding crowd.

“Yang Xiaotian, the other day you called my Purple Luo Extreme Fire trash, why don’t you bring out your Flame of Star for everyone to see, and let’s see whose Abnormal Fire is really trash,” Long Xingkong laughed.

Under the entwining Purple Luo Extreme Fire, Long Xingkong’s presence was incredibly formidable.

“Yang Xiaotian actually called Long Xingkong’s Purple Luo Extreme Fire trash?” Upon hearing this on the presiding stage, Wang Zhou chuckled in amusement: “Yang Xiaotian doesn’t think his Flame of Star is a top ten Abnormal Fire, does he?”

His disciple, Wu You, laughed and said, “He must have been out of his mind when he said that, talking nonsense.”

Lu Yi chuckled and agreed, “I fear so.”

Yang Xiaotian, looking at Long Xingkong with a smug smile on his face, activated the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame.

At that moment, everyone at the scene heard a thundering cry of a phoenix.

No, more precisely, there were nine cries of a phoenix.

From within Yang Xiaotian, a surge of golden light soared into the sky.

Nine golden phoenixes flew out, composed of flames.

In that instant, the astonishing golden flames spread far and wide, engulfing the heavens and the earth.

Under the onslaught of the golden flames, Long Xingkong’s originally dazzling Purple Luo Extreme Fire dimmed, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

Long Xingkong was nearly choked with disbelief.

“The Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame!” On the presiding stage, Shi Yongping, Long Lan, and others couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

Wang Zhou, Wu You, Li Qianqian, Lan Yi, and the others were all stunned.

(Awesome!)
