"Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python?" Huo Yao's words made Xiao Yan's heart skip a beat, and a bad premonition arose within him.
Although he had resisted Cai Lin's temptation with firm resolve and nothing happened between them, Xiao Yan still held a special affection for Cai Lin in his heart, at least considering her a very good friend.
Yao Chen noticed Xiao Yan's unusual gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Dare I ask Brother Huo Yao, where was this Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python hunted? And what was its cultivation level?"
Huo Yao's brow twitched, but he didn't conceal it: "Just in the Southern Region of the Central Plains, a Dou Saint cultivation… It wouldn't have any entanglement with your Starcloud Pavilion, would it?"
Yao Chen shook his head: "A Dou Saint cultivation, ah, then probably not. I encountered one before, but it was only a Dou Ancestor, hence my question."
A Dou Saint, ah… Then it probably isn't Cai Lin. Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't think Cai Lin could cultivate to the Dou Saint level in such a short time, even for an ancient beast like the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, it was highly unlikely… Moreover, the cultivation of magical beasts is inherently slow, and the benefits brought by the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python bloodline are more about immense potential and a high upper limit.
The Yao Ceremony officially began. All those on stage were Master Alchemists, and they all appeared calm and unhurried as they refined medicine. They threw large batches of medicinal ingredients into their cauldrons with fluid movements, like art.
Xiao Yan noticed Huo Yao throwing a seven-colored demonic core into his golden fire cauldron, but due to the interference of the Heavenly Flame's aura, he couldn't sense it more clearly.
He hesitated, but ultimately did not use his soul power to investigate.
It is a great taboo for an Alchemist to be disturbed while refining medicine. If one dared to use soul power to peek into his fire cauldron at such a time, it would definitely lead to a mortal feud.
Among the few, Old Man Shennong had the most magnificent display. The emerald green flames, like liquid, spread out from above his head, and the rich vitality they emitted rapidly ripened many medicinal seeds. Medicinal ingredients that should have taken decades, centuries, or even millennia to grow transformed from seeds to mature plants in just over ten minutes.
Such a method left countless Spectators dumbfounded.
Yao Dan's eyes showed a hint of envy. If their Yao Clan could possess such flames, their strength would definitely skyrocket in a short time. Many high-level Alchemists were unable to break through for a long time because they lacked sufficient opportunities for alchemy, and their practical experience was limited.
Hun Xuzi's eyes also revealed a hint of longing. Their Soul Clan also lacked resources! Although the Void Swallowing Flame was good, in terms of alchemy, the Living Spirit Flame was ultimately more suitable.
Of course, the most important thing was that no one dared to use the Main Body of the Void Swallowing Flame to refine pills. Even he, the chief Alchemist of the Soul Clan, did not have the qualification to make it cooperate.
The alchemy displays of Hun Xuzi, Gu Feng, Huo Yao, Yao Dan, and Old Man Shennong were all extremely grand, clearly far surpassing Xiao Yan's situation when he previously refined a Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill. Even those who didn't understand alchemy well understood that the pills they were refining were likely Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pills.
Among the few on stage, only Yao Chen seemed a bit out of place. The other five had fire cauldrons a hundred zhang in size, while his was only about twenty zhang, and he hadn't added too many medicinal ingredients to it, only a few hundred stalks, making it seem particularly desolate.
"Heh, could it be that he doesn't have materials, so he can only make do with these?" Yao Wangui, sitting among the Elders of the Yao Clan, couldn't help but mock when he saw Yao Chen's alchemy scene.
Although the Spectators below knew that being able to ascend the stage to refine medicine at this moment was proof of strength, compared to the other five, his appearance was indeed somewhat unseemly.
Hun Xuzi's eyes narrowed slightly, releasing a hint of goodwill: "Is Junior Brother Yao Chen lacking medicinal ingredients? I still have some extras here. Although I can't make up a complete set, if you don't mind, you can pick and choose what's suitable."
With that, he flicked his sleeve, and a large quantity of medicinal ingredients streamed out, flying towards Yao Chen.
Such a gesture left the others momentarily stunned.
Yao Chen himself was even more astonished.
Hun Xuzi laughed heartily: "This is a grand event among us Alchemists. Wouldn't it be a pity if the outcome of the competition was affected by a lack of medicine?"
Hun Xuzi's conduct made many Alchemists feel much better about him. Although he was a member of the Soul Clan, and his actions of infiltrating the Pill Tower and betraying his teacher were disgraceful, in terms of alchemy, he was worthy of his title as a Master Alchemist.
Old Man Shennong and Yao Dan's gazes towards him were no longer as hostile as they had been at first.
"Since Brother Hun is like this, we cannot be stingy either. I also have some extras, Brother Yao Chen can use them as he sees fit." Huo Yao waved his hand, also sending his extra medicinal ingredients to Yao Chen.
"Haha, I forgot, you've only recently revived, unlike us old fellows who have such deep accumulations." Gu Feng chuckled and took out his extra collection.
Yao Chen was startled for a moment, catching the medicinal ingredients with his Dou Qi, then shook his head, indicating refusal. He waved his hand, returning all these medicinal ingredients to their original owners:
"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I am not lacking medicinal ingredients. The outcome is not yet decided, so please don't let your guard down, juniors. This time, I am full of confidence."
"Then we shall wait and see." At this moment, Hun Xuzi appeared exceptionally upright and honorable.
Upright and honorable, unlike a member of the Soul Clan!
As time passed, their respective alchemy entered a critical period. The Master Alchemists could no longer spare attention for others, fully immersing themselves in their own refining.
Yao Chen was still unhurriedly refining the medicinal ingredients within his fire cauldron… The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was extremely difficult to refine. It contained immense energy, and even with Yao Chen's current realm, he had to carefully control it to prevent it from erupting.
The higher the grade of the pill, the more medicinal ingredients it required, and the longer the refining process took.
For nearly a month thereafter, the few individuals on stage made little movement. Aside from occasionally adding some medicinal ingredients to their cauldrons, they merely silently controlled the temperature of the flames within.
Compared to the others, Hun Xuzi seemed a bit more relaxed, because his Void Swallowing Flame's subsidiary flame also possessed a trace of the Void Swallowing Flame's sentience, counting as half a Huo Ling, allowing him not to expend too much mental energy on temperature regulation.
After the medicinal ingredients were almost refined, Hun Xuzi revealed a strange smile.
"Everyone, aren't you ready yet? I'm almost done here."
He formed a complex hand seal and shouted loudly: "Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command!"
As his voice fell, a sudden strong wind arose between heaven and earth. Infinite heaven and earth energy surged overwhelmingly, finally being swallowed by the black fire cauldron. This continuously gathering energy formed a mottled energy storm, making the sky turn dim.
