Chapter 127: Four-Colored Pill Lightning, Pill Formed

Because it was the Pill Gathering, most of the audience were Alchemists.

The appearance of the two different flames immediately caused a stir.

Someone pointed out their identities.

It turned out that these two were regulars at the Pill Gathering over the years; in the previous Pill Gathering, they even took third and fourth place.

The reason they didn't get first place was that one's strength was insufficient, and an accident occurred during pill condensation, leading to the final pill having flaws.

The other, however, used a beast flame for refining pills, and due to an issue with the flame, the effect was somewhat lacking and did not reach its most perfect state.

Therefore, after that person displayed the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, the discussions about him on the scene grew much louder.

Many believed this Alchemist would definitely achieve a good ranking, perhaps even first place, in this year's Pill Gathering.

However, such talk was quickly dismissed by others.

Currently, there are a total of eleven Alchemists refining pills on the platform.

Aside from the two who brought out different flames, whether it was Cao Xiu, Dan Ningyu, or the others, all had great potential.

Many also noticed Soul Cang, a new face, and there was no lack of discussion about him.

However, most of the comments were not optimistic.

“Huh, where’s that kid White Text?” On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi suddenly reacted.

The swarthy old man heard this, his gaze sharpened, and he immediately searched among the eliminated crowd, but still found no trace of White Text.

“Could he have met with an accident in the Dan Realm?” the swarthy old man hesitated.

Over the years, the Dan Realm has been the most prone to accidents; on one hand, they cannot see what is happening inside, and on the other hand, there are powerful magical beasts within the Dan Realm.

Xuan Kongzi pondered, “Unlikely. White Text is the person the Bai family has had the most expectations for in recent years. He should have means of reporting, and furthermore, we have arranged protective measures.”

Everyone who entered the Dan Realm was given a spatial stone, which, when crushed in danger, could teleport them out, serving as a safeguard.

White Text couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Now that his figure wasn't seen, it might not be that he encountered a magical beast, but rather, he encountered someone.

And the opponent's strength was very formidable, so powerful that he didn't even have a chance to use the spatial stone.

“The Bai family is probably going to go crazy,” Xuan Kongzi sighed.

On the other side, at the Bai family's location, things were indeed as Xuan Kongzi had thought.

The Bai family patriarch, not seeing White Text, was frantic, his face filled with anger.

Soon, the middle-aged man who had been with White Text earlier was called over.

Facing the inquiry, the middle-aged man looked towards Soul Cang, who was refining pills in mid-air.

The Bai family patriarch's eyes were gloomy, he said nothing, and dismissed the other party.

Soul Cang was unaware of all this; his mind was already immersed in pill refining.

The Bone-Molding Blood-Melding Pill is an eighth-grade medicinal pill, and its refining difficulty is considerable.

Although Soul Cang had received the inheritance and his soul realm had advanced to the Heaven Realm, pill refining was not something to be taken lightly, and he still had to show a certain degree of respect.

The flame Soul Cang used this time was a fusion of all Fire Spirits; its appearance was similar to an ordinary flame, and it took on a beast form.

Coupled with Soul Cang's instruction to the Fire Spirit not to leak its aura, it gave others the impression that it was merely a novel beast flame, and they didn't even think of it as a different flame.

“The medicinal liquid has been extracted, and the next step can begin…” Soul Cang perceived the changes within the medicinal cauldron with his soul, carefully making adjustments.

Time passed bit by bit, the surroundings grew quiet, and countless gazes turned upwards, looking at that platform.

The Pill Gathering is a rare grand event on the Dou Qi Continent, and it is also the lifelong pursuit of countless Alchemists; countless people wish to display their skills on it.

Unfortunately, to get on stage, one must first break through the two preceding checkpoints.

Seven days passed, and this world was scorched by flames; even the air was filled with a dry heat, and breathing it in felt like a burning sensation in the lungs.

“It’s done!” Suddenly, a joyful voice rang out; it was Cao Xiu who shouted.

He opened his eyes, forming a hand seal, and a pill flew out from the medicinal cauldron in front of him, an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeating the air.

This pill was smooth and round, emitting a faint luster.

Clouds drifted across the sky, and as the light dimmed, thunder rumbled.

“Pill Lightning!” A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xuan Kongzi’s eyes; Cao Xiu had not been lazy all these years.

A bolt of lightning struck, the pill's glow dimmed slightly, but it withstood the impact.

However, the thunderclouds in the sky did not dissipate.

Cao Xiu's eyes flashed with delight: “I actually refined a pill with two-colored Pill Lightning?!”

In fact, even one-colored Pill Lightning had already exceeded his expectations.

However, Cao Xiu's joy did not last too long.

Because after the lightning struck, it did not land on his pill.

Cao Xiu turned his head, realizing that Dan Ningyu had also finished refining at some point.

Dan Ningyu, whose forehead was still beaded with sweat, showed a flicker of excitement on her usually calm face, her eyes filled with intense anticipation.

This pill was the best she had ever refined, in its most perfect state.

Boom! Boom!

Two-colored Pill Lightning descended, and the pill spun, perfectly intact, and instead acquired an indescribable charm.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

Cao Xiu's gaze lowered, feeling somewhat lost. He had always compared himself to Dan Ningyu, but this time, he had lost, and lost completely.

“In this competition, Dan Ningyu has a chance for the top three,” Cao Xiu sighed.

Subsequently, Alchemists successively completed their pill refining, but no more Pill Lightning appeared.

Unbeknownst to them, on the platform, only three Alchemists remained who were still refining pills.

They were Soul Cang, and the two Alchemists who possessed different flames.

At this moment, with a “clang,” the Alchemist who possessed the Xuan Huang Flame finished refining his pill.

The pill flew out, and thunderclouds once again drifted across the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Two-colored Pill Lightning descended, but the thunderclouds did not dissipate; instead, they lingered for a while, and a third bolt fell.

“Three-colored Pill Lightning!” Cao Xiu exclaimed.

Dan Ningyu clenched her fist: “If I also had a different flame, I could definitely achieve three-colored, or even four-colored Pill Lightning!”

“Hahahaha! Three-colored Pill Lightning! This time, the champion of the Pill Gathering is finally mine!” Almost as soon as the Pill Lightning ended, a hearty laugh came from the person holding the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

At the same time, the pill in the cauldron in front of him flew out.

The thunderclouds, which were about to dissipate, gathered again, even thicker than the previous three-colored Pill Lightning.

Boom! Boom!

Pill Lightning descended, and the pill floated in the air, a faint shadow appearing on its surface, as if undergoing a baptism.

Four bolts of Pill Lightning crashed down.

As the thunderclouds dispersed, that person put away the pill, stood up, and proudly surveyed his surroundings: “The champion of this Pill Gathering is none other than me!”

“Don’t celebrate too early, there’s still one Alchemist who hasn’t finished refining,” said the Alchemist who possessed the Xuan Huang Flame.

The four-colored Pill Lightning Alchemist glanced in Soul Cang’s direction and said dismissively, “A mere beast flame, how can it compare to my Wind Fury Dragon Flame? Continuing to refine is just a waste of time.”

There are rules in the Pill Gathering, and the four-colored Pill Lightning Alchemist only said this, but did not go to interrupt him.

Everyone waited silently, originally thinking it would be quick, but unexpectedly, they waited for a full day.

This caused those who had already finished refining to gradually show some impatience.

Among them, the four-colored Pill Lightning Alchemist was the most anxious. He had absolute confidence in his four-colored Pill Lightning pill and was just waiting for the results to be announced and to receive the honor.

“Can you do it or not? If not, don’t stubbornly waste everyone’s time,” the four-colored Pill Lightning Alchemist urged.

The Xuan Huang Flame Alchemist was also a bit impatient: “Elder Xuan Kongzi, we can’t just keep waiting for him, can we? What if he refines for a whole year?”

“Calm down,” Xuan Kongzi said faintly, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling his pill refining has reached the final step.”

When others heard Xuan Kongzi say this, they couldn't urge him further and could only wait a little longer.

At this moment, the swarthy old man suddenly shouted, “The pill is formed!”
