After Yao Chen blocked the Black Demon Lightning for Xiao Yan, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, signaling the end of the warm-up before the main event of the Yao Ceremony.
Yao Dan announced with a chuckle that Yaotian was the first place in the warm-up match.
…The Yao Ceremony required individuals to refine pills alone. Xiao Yan was unable to withstand the Pill Lightning by himself, so his score was invalid.
Although he was called first, Yaotian showed no joy on his face, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the true first place should have been awarded to Xiao Yan.
Whether one could withstand the Pill Lightning was actually secondary; others could provide assistance with that. The difficult part was how to refine the pill itself.
"Hahaha… It's our turn now, isn't it?" Hun Xuzi laughed as he stepped onto the stage. His figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already seated on a stone platform at the edge.
"After watching for so long, I'm feeling a bit eager to show off my skills too." Gu Feng flew onto another stone platform and sat directly opposite Hun Xuzi, seemingly ready for a confrontation.
Yao Chen smiled slightly and stopped where Xiao Yan was sitting: "Xiao Yan, make some room for your master. Watch carefully. If you see anything unexpected later, and have any questions, hold them in for now. Your master will explain it to you when we go back.
"You should first carefully observe our pill refining techniques; it should be somewhat helpful to you."
A hint of confusion flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He didn't understand why Yao Chen would specifically give such a reminder. He nodded and replied, "Yes, Teacher."
Huo Yao and Old Man Shennong also ascended the high platform. All five of them turned their gazes towards the Yao Clan's side, somewhat curious as to who the Yao Clan's participant would be.
Yao Dan chuckled and appeared on a high platform: "Our Yao Clan is also very interested in Tuo She Ancient Emperor's cultivation technique."
Hun Xuzi said with a smile, "It seems the Yao Clan is determined to claim the title of the continent's number one. However, judging by your tone, the first-place prize, Tuo She Ancient Emperor's cultivation technique, does not belong to the Yao Clan. Could you perhaps tell us what exactly is going on?"
After a moment of thought, Yao Dan did not conceal anything and revealed the full story: "It's a matter entrusted by a mysterious person whose strength is comparable to mine. He wants someone to help refine a pill, so he entrusted us to hold the Yao Ceremony in advance to find the person with the best pill refining skills…
"I think he should also be watching here. At that time, he should ask one of us to help refine the pill. Of course, there will be compensation, and the compensation is a Living Spirit Flame.
"I think, as Alchemists, perhaps no one wouldn't be tempted by that Heavenly Flame, right?"
When the Yao Clan sent out invitations, they only explained the specific reason to Yao Chen. The invitations sent to others were not as detailed.
"Oh… entrusted by someone, huh…" The smile on Hun Xuzi's face seemed a bit strange.
Just then, a vast, ancient voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Hun Xuzi, when you are refining pills later, if you see anyone performing abnormal pill refining actions, do not interfere."
Hun Xuzi raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, but still nodded respectfully in affirmation.
After the six individuals ascended the high platform, the atmosphere on site was pushed to a new climax. Although the younger generation in the previous warm-up matches had already displayed extremely high levels, these few individuals were the undisputed leading figures in the Alchemist World.
No one would object to one of them emerging victorious and claiming the throne of the World's number one.
Yao Wan Huo came to Yao Dan's original position and said, "Are you all ready? If so, then let the Yao Ceremony officially begin!"
Yao Dan beckoned to Yaotian, and the latter's Heavenly Flame left his body and came into Yao Dan's hand: "Let me use this Turtle Spirit Earth Flame for now."
In Gu Feng's hand appeared a Heavenly Flame of black and white, intertwined and flowing like twin yin-yang fish. The black yin fire carried the essence of death, while the white yang fire was filled with vitality.
It was the Twenty-first on the Heavenly Flame list, the Yin-Yang Twin Flame.
Bone Spirit Cold Flame ignited in Yao Chen's hand, causing Void Swallowing Flame and Soul Butcher, Soul Kill, and others who were secretly observing to slightly change their expressions and focus more attention on him. This flame was clearly the one that had sealed the flames of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans.
The cane leaning on Old Man Shennong's shoulder suddenly made jingling sounds. He smiled slightly at the others:
"I'm very interested in the cultivation technique rewarded for first place, but I don't care about the subsequent transaction reward. If this old man wins the championship, I imagine that mysterious person will be quite troubled."
A surge of vibrant life force emerged from him, and emerald green flames burned, attracting the attention of others.
"Living Spirit Flame? You're quite lucky." Yao Dan looked surprised.
"Hehehe, Living Spirit Flame? It's indeed good, but this Venerable One still prefers the Heavenly Flame in my own hand." He flicked his sleeve, and black flames surged out, covering the sky, condensing into a massive black fire cauldron a hundred zhang in size in the sky before him. A powerful devouring force emanated from the fire cauldron.
"Void Swallowing Flame?" Feeling the devouring force, the expressions of the others slightly changed.
"No, something's strange." Huo Yao furrowed his brows and, after a moment of thought, said, "This isn't the true Void Swallowing Flame, is it?"
"Heh heh, you have good eyesight. This is a sub-flame." Hun Xuzi chuckled.
Although it was a sub-flame, the others still felt its terrifying power. It was truly hard to imagine how destructive the main body of Void Swallowing Flame would be if it appeared.
Void Swallowing Flame… Gu Lie's eyes narrowed, and his expression became a few shades more solemn.
Void Swallowing Flame had appeared during the battle when the Soul Clan besieged Xiao Xuan a thousand years ago, attracting the Clan Head who wanted to provide support. Between choosing to rescue Xiao Xuan and subduing Void Swallowing Flame, the Clan Head, instigated by several Elders, chose the latter. However, Void Swallowing Flame was surprisingly powerful; after a bout of fighting, though injured, it successfully escaped from the Clan Head's hands…
…Indeed, Void Swallowing Flame had countless connections with the Soul Clan, likely residing within the Soul Clan itself… Gu Lie thought to himself.
"If it's just a sub-flame, I'm afraid it's not enough to impress." Huo Yao smiled slightly, and golden flames surged out, causing the temperature in the air to suddenly rise by several degrees.
Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame! In terms of temperature alone, even Void Swallowing Flame and Nether Lotus Demon Flame couldn't compare to this extremely pure flame.
Xun Er's eyes widened. She finally understood why she had felt a strange fluctuation from Huo Yao earlier. It turned out to be the subtle connection between two Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flames.
Gu Lie glanced at Xun Er, then at Huo Yao, and said with a smile, "Although it doesn't have the unique characteristic of being the only one in the World like Void Swallowing Flame and Nether Lotus Demon Flame, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame is also extremely rare. I never expected two to appear at the same time."
Huo Yao condensed a golden fire cauldron and said with a smile, "My luck was good. I hunted a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python a while ago and obtained this flame."
