46: Chapter 46 Battle Spirit Pill

The dawn sunlight shone upon this bustling city, and a massive crowd had gathered from all directions, finally surging toward the entrance of the Alchemist Convention.

Looking at the sea of heads extending to the edge of one's vision, it was clear that there were significantly more spectators today than yesterday.

The Royal Plaza slowly opened its gates, and the dense crowd surged in like a tide.

Behind the plaza, Xiao Yan strolled toward a side entrance. Outside, hundreds of fully armed soldiers blocked the door. Upon seeing Xiao Yan approach, the group immediately displayed expressions of awe and cleared a path, allowing him to walk inside.

Many people had gathered here, many of whom were participants who had passed the assessment yesterday. Liu Ling and the Little Princess were among them, and these young people were currently chatting and laughing with each other.

Someone suddenly noticed Xiao Yan, and the laughter came to an abrupt halt. One by one, they stopped talking and looked at Xiao Yan with the same gaze as the soldiers at the door.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly to the Little Princess, then casually found a seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the convention to begin.

No matter where you are, having strength will always command awe. Wherever you go, even if you don't say a word, you are already the Dominator of the scene.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was exactly that!

However, Xiao Yan was happy with this; being a powerhouse had its benefits. In his past life, he talked nonsense every day, but in this life, he just wanted peace and quiet.

Before long, Fa Ma and other high-ranking members of the guild appeared, walking down from the second floor to greet Xiao Yan and the others.

"You've arrived quite early. Did everyone get a good rest last night? Hehe, I am very much looking forward to today's competition."

Upon hearing this, many young participants smilingly replied. Xiao Yan did not act aloof either; he stood up and greeted Fa Ma.

Slowly walking through the corridor leading to the plaza, the blinding sunlight poured down, and the cheers poured into their ears like a torrent.

"Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!"

Many people were cheering Xiao Yan's name. It seemed that yesterday's performance was far more shocking to these ordinary people than Xiao Yan had imagined.

However, this was only natural. The cheers were not just because of Xiao Yan's status as a Dou Wang powerhouse, but also because Xiao Yan was a person of the Jia Ma Empire!

They realized that their Empire had produced an unprecedented super Prodigy. When Xiao Yan's name resounded across the continent, everyone would know that Xiao Yan came from the Jia Ma Empire!

Yes, no one would doubt Xiao Yan's future achievements. His glory belonged not only to Xiao Yan himself but also to all the people of the entire Jia Ma Empire.

As for whether other countries would believe that Xiao Yan was a seventeen-year-old Dou Wang powerhouse?

This was the Alchemist Convention, the most noble professional competition on the continent. Not to mention the audience, if these words came from the mouths of thousands of Alchemists, no one would dare to question it!

"Dong!"

A crisp bell chime rang out, echoing long and loud over the plaza.

On the high platform, seeing the plaza gradually quiet down, Fa Ma's aged and calm voice came through.

"Everyone, today's assessment will be the final round, and also the most critical one. Today's winner will be the champion of our Alchemist Convention! For the sake of the effort you have put in, give it your all!"

"Roar, roar, roar!" Just as Fa Ma's voice fell, the countless spectators in the stands who had been waiting for a long time immediately shouted in unison with excitement, deafeningly.

Fa Ma swept his gaze across the audience and pressed his hands down slightly. The deafening cheers gradually subsided, and he spoke again: "For this assessment, the guild will not provide any help to the Alchemists; everything must depend on yourselves, whether it is the Pill Formula or the Materials, and so on. Within the stipulated time, refine a Medicinal Pill to the best of your ability. The final winner will naturally be determined by the Rank and practical effect of the Medicinal Pill they refine!"

Upon hearing this, most of the participants in the plaza were stunned, evidently having not prepared for this. Some even turned pale, as they had not prepared suitable Pill Formulas and Materials at all!

"The third round of the assessment, now, begins!" Ignoring the changes in everyone's expressions, Fa Ma announced loudly.

As Fa Ma's voice fell, the originally whispering audience also quieted down. In the stands, countless eyes were fixed on the participants below, looking forward to their brilliant performance today.

In the plaza, after Fa Ma's voice fell, all the Alchemists did not move, silently thinking about how to deal with the content of this assessment.

The Little Princess and Liu Ling were the first to break the silence. The two walked slowly to the bluestone platform, waved their hands, and two slightly archaic blue-red Medicine Cauldrons appeared on the stone platform.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Jia. Your royal family is truly generous. This is a Rank 5 Medicine Cauldron. I still remember that many Rank 4 Alchemists fought fiercely to snatch this Medicine Cauldron back then..." Looking at that blue Medicine Cauldron, Fa Ma said with some surprise.

"Hehe, it was probably that girl pestering her father to get it out. However, Gu He is also generous. That Medicine Cauldron of Liu Ling is the treasure that Gu He relied on to become famous back then, the Rank 5 Medicine Cauldron 'Volcano Flame Furnace'." Old Jia smiled faintly.

Seeing the two start, Xiao Yan also stepped forward and took out a black Medicine Cauldron from his storage ring. The Medicine Cauldron was quite large and looked very steady. The surface of the Medicine Cauldron was painted with lifelike flame totems. These flames rotated with the Medicine Cauldron, and faint flame energy slowly gathered along with it.

"That is?" Fa Ma squinted at Xiao Yan's Medicine Cauldron, feeling a bit familiar.

"It seems Xiao Yan's Medicine Cauldron is also extraordinary, just don't know what Rank Pill Furnace it is." Old Jia commented casually.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and pondered for a while at the bluestone platform. With a flick of his finger, a set of Materials for the "Dou Ling Pill" appeared on the stone platform. These were the medicinal Materials Xiao Yan had collected over these months.

The Dou Ling Pill was a Medicinal Pill used for the Dou Wang Realm. Because it was an essential Pill Formula for many Rank 5 and above Alchemists, the collection of most of the Materials was relatively simple, and he had started paying attention to it several months ago.

Only the most critical Blood Python Branch was relatively rare. However, with the vigorous searching of the Mittel Family, fortunately, it was found; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to decide what Medicinal Pill to refine this time.

"It's actually a blue flame?" When Xiao Yan was preparing to start refining, a burst of surprised clamor appeared in the audience stands.

Xiao Yan turned his head to look and saw the Little Princess beside him holding a cerulean flame, with strange ripples like waves appearing around the flame.

"The Cerulean Water Flame of the Raging Wave Dragon Beast." Xiao Yan said secretly in his heart. It was just a pity for his own Purple Flame; without the saliva of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and the accompanying purple crystal source, he could not make Purple Flame Pills.

As for where his own Purple Flame went? Naturally, it was swallowed by the Green Lotus Core Flame when absorbing the Heavenly Flame. That Purple Flame was too weak, and keeping it was of no use.

After the Little Princess summoned the cerulean flame, people kept summoning flames of different colors. The originally monotonous layout in the plaza instantly produced a strange beauty because of these colorful flames.

Actually, Xiao Yan couldn't understand why these people clearly had good flames but insisted on saving them until the end. What was the point of that...

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan stopped paying attention to these people's flames and raised his palm to summon the Green Lotus Core Flame. Instantly, the temperature in the plaza soared.

The flames that were originally somewhat active from the Little Princess and others became slightly dimmer, as if a breeze had blown past. If one looked closely, they would find that these colorful flames were all tilting in one direction.

That was Xiao Yan in the center of the plaza, or to be precise, the green flame in Xiao Yan's palm.

"When the Heavenly Flame appears, all flames submit. This saying is truly not false..." Looking at the strange scene in the arena, Fa Ma on the high platform sighed softly...

Let me clarify here, to avoid any misunderstanding by the readers.

The Dou Ling Pill was indeed described as a Rank 6 Medicinal Pill at the beginning, but later, the author changed the setting to a Peak Rank 5 Medicinal Pill. However, what remains unchanged is that the difficulty of refining this Medicinal Pill also belongs to Rank 6...
