451: Ninth-grade golden elixir? Me too!

In the Alchemy process, the time required for refining Materials often takes a long time.

Even Lin Xiu and Yao Dan took a full day and night to refine thousands of Medicinal Materials into their respective liquid forms.

"Hoo..."

Yao Dan let out a light breath, a solemn expression appearing on his face.

Refining Medicinal Materials, as long as one has enough experience, generally won't have problems.

It's considered a fundamental skill for an Alchemist.

But condensing so much energy into a single Medicinal Pill is where the real test lies.

The Great Heavenly Fate Pill's Pill Formula was the Medicinal Pill Yao Dan had researched the longest.

When the various Clans jointly attacked Soul Emperor, Yao Dan had already discovered that as the Yao Clan Leader, he was the weakest among them.

He couldn't even compare to the newly revived Xiao Xuan.

Therefore, he thought of the Great Heavenly Fate Pill!

As a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill, the Great Heavenly Fate Pill, besides being able to rapidly increase one's Realm in the shortest time.

It also possesses a Heaven-Defying effect.

After consuming the Medicinal Pill, for ten years, one will maintain a strong perception of the energy of heaven and earth.

Simply put, within these ten years, your Cultivation speed can increase tenfold, and your control and application of energy will also greatly improve.

The energy that originally only a Nine-Star Dou Sheng could control, perhaps he could achieve it when he was an Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

Yao Dan needed to improve his combat power!

"May my ancestors bless me. Soul Emperor's threat is growing daily. I, Yao Dan, wish to protect the Yao Clan. I pray my ancestors bless me to successfully refine the Great Heavenly Fate Pill!"

After silently finishing his devout prayer, Yao Dan's gaze became firm. Without further hesitation, he poured all the medicinal liquids into the Medicine Cauldron, "Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command!"

Whoosh!

As his voice fell, a sudden strong wind swept across the world, and endless Heaven and Earth energy surged towards the Medicine Cauldron.

The Medicine Cauldron erupted with astonishing suction, and the Heaven and Earth energy converged into a massive vortex, flowing into the Medicine Cauldron.

"Refining a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, what a coincidence, I am too. Power of Heaven and Earth, come to me!"

Old Man Shen Nong laughed heartily, unhurriedly waving his sleeve.

The Heaven and Earth energy became chaotic, and a surge of energy gathered into the Medicine Cauldron in front of him.

"Exhilarating! This is what a true Alchemist is like!"

Xiao Yan saw this scene and changed his hand seals.

Blazing flames separated, falling around him, forming a ring of fire.

Then the ring rotated, emitting a whistling sound, erupting with powerful suction.

In terms of strength, his Realm was slightly lower than Old Man Shen Nong's.

Therefore, Xiao Yan understood that using normal methods to snatch the Heaven and Earth energy from them was unrealistic, so he resorted to using a Fighting Skill.

For a time.

Above the sky, three areas were already occupied by vast energy, and the boundless Aura was like the sky collapsing.

The emotions of the crowd watching the competition were ignited and truly boiled over at this moment, following their actions.

Various roars converged, like a surging tsunami, rushing straight into the sky.

"Sirs, the energy here is not enough to satisfy the condensation of four Ninth-Grade Profound Pills..."

Yao Dan's gaze swept over Old Man Shen Nong and Xiao Yan, who had already acted, and Lin Xiu, who had not yet moved.

A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Besides, what I'm refining this time is a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill... So, why don't you lend your power to me!"

Yao Dan quickly formed hand seals, and the energy in the world trembled violently.

As if guided by something, it all changed direction and converged towards the Medicine Cauldron in front of him.

Old Man Shen Nong's expression changed, and Dou Qi surged out from within him, attempting to block it, but all failed.

"You scoundrel, you actually used a Formation! Relying on this being the Yao Clan's territory, you deliberately cheated, didn't you?"

Old Man Shen Nong felt it for a moment and immediately detected the trickery, scolding him in a fit of pique.

This was originally the Yao Clan's Medicine World. As the Yao Clan Leader, Yao Dan controlled all the Formations. With just a thought, he could mobilize the energy within.

Old Man Shen Nong wanted to snatch it, but he couldn't compete, and there was nothing he could do.

"The energy in the Medicine World is limited; even forming one Ninth-Grade Profound Pill is a bit strenuous. Who told you to refine them too? Since that's the case, why not let me refine the Ninth-Rank Golden Pill? The Ninth-Rank Golden Pill's reputation is much greater than a Profound Pill's."

Yao Dan's attention was entirely on the Medicine Cauldron in front of him. Hearing Old Man Shen Nong's accusation, he wasn't angry but truthfully explained the situation.

Old Man Shen Nong, who had originally been stomping his feet, also showed some hesitation after hearing this.

He hadn't expected Yao Dan to be refining a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill. If Yao Dan truly had a chance to refine it, he would be happy to see it.

Simply because it had been too long since a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill had appeared on the continent.

On the other side, Xiao Yan's face showed obvious dissatisfaction, but he was also helpless.

He was quite confident in his Ninth-Grade Profound Pill. As long as it could proceed smoothly, he had at least an eighty percent chance of refining it.

From the beginning of learning Alchemy until now, Xiao Yan had never refined a Medicinal Pill of such a high grade.

"Boy, let it go. Being able to witness the birth of a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill is also a worthwhile trip. When everyone talks about it in the future, your name won't be forgotten."

Old Man Shen Nong noticed Xiao Yan's expression and soothed him with a gentle smile.

He could understand the young man's thoughts, but he was, after all, older and more open-minded.

Becoming famous at a young age is every young person's dream.

It's normal not to want to miss such a good opportunity.

However, compared to a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill, a proper concession is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Old Man Shen Nong remembered Lin Xiu, who was still refining Medicinal Pills, and quickly turned his head.

Having finally allocated all the medicinal liquids, Lin Xiu orderly placed them into the Medicine Cauldron, preparing to begin the subsequent Pill condensation process.

"Little Lin, don't waste your effort. There isn't enough energy here. Instead of wasting Materials, why not save the medicinal liquids to witness the birth of a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill? This competition, from the moment Yao Dan brought out the Pill Formula for the Ninth-Rank Golden Pill, we've already fallen into a disadvantage."

Old Man Shen Nong said with a smile.

"Senior Shen Nong, I understand what you mean, but my Pill is also a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill, and it's no worse than Clan Chief Yao Dan's. As for who wins, that depends on who can truly refine the Medicinal Pill."

Lin Xiu smiled faintly and gave the little Dragon a look. The latter, understanding, immediately lit the furnace fire.

Opposite him, Yao Dan's hand trembled, almost destroying all the medicinal liquids. Fortunately, he was experienced and made timely adjustments, preventing greater losses.

"Lin Xiu, you're also refining a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill?"

Yao Dan showed an incredulous expression.

Where did he get the Pill Formula for a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill?

"You're refining a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill? Little fellow, you're not joking, are you?"

Old Man Shen Nong's face showed a look of profound astonishment.

That's a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill, do you know what that concept is?

A Medicinal Pill of this level is almost the Peak Medicinal Pill that Alchemists on the continent can refine.

Aside from Emperor Pills, it's already considered reaching the Peak of an Alchemist's ability on the continent.

And this kind of Medicinal Pill, even he didn't have the confidence to try. Even if he had the Pill Formula, he would only choose a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill.

Now, he actually saw a young man refining a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill?

Old Man Shen Nong wasn't surprised by Yao Dan's refining it at all.

After all, the other party had accumulated experience over a long period, and he was also the Yao Clan Leader, with Bloodline talent and a boost in Alchemy.

The problem was that Lin Xiu was also secretly refining one.

If he hadn't actively admitted it just now, who would have dared to imagine that Lin Xiu was refining a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill?

Old Man Shen Nong's mood was extremely complex. He just hadn't been out for many years; he wasn't dead. Why had the outside world changed so quickly?

A young fellow who wasn't even fifty years old was actually going to refine a Ninth-Rank Golden Pill?
