Chapter 155: The Boring Alchemist Grand Meeting (I)

    ?

    Xiao Yan''s Eagle Wings were exaggeratedly enormous, spanning nearly four meters when fully extended. The blood-red Ten Thousand Beast Flame emitted faint beastly roars that caused an involuntary tremble in the hearts of those who heard it.

    Upon closer inspection, one could even discern lifelike carvings of beast spirits on the fiery wings.

    The enormous fire wings directly blocked Yao Ye and Ya Fei beside him and even obscured Nalan Yanran not far away. The spectators in the stands were all captivated by the sight of these massive fire wings.

    At this moment, in the VIP area, not even Association Chairman Fa Ma or the Dou Emperors Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian were as eye-catching as Xiao Yan.

    "Holy shit! Dou Qi forming wings!! Is he a Dou King?!"

    "An eighteen-year-old Dou King?! How is that possible!!"

    Whether it was the spectators in the stands or the numerous alchemists in the center of the plaza, all were engaged in heated discussions.

    The first to notice was naturally Chairman Fa Ma.

    "No, those aren''t Dou Qi Wings. That''s an exceptionally rare flying-type Dou Technique!"

    Xiao Yan flapped his wings vigorously and soared straight into the sky with a thunderous boom. Ya Fei''s face was flushed as she hastily held her skirt down to prevent it from being lifted by the gust.

    A blood-red flame streaked across the sky like a meteor, transforming into a fiery light before slowly descending onto the very center of the plaza, the position reserved for the top scorer in the preliminary test.

    "He''s the most childish one." Nalan Yanran naturally knew that Xiao Yan possessed a flying- type Dou Technique and that he deliberately expanded the Eagle Wings to their maximum size.

    Xiao Yan was the one acting most childishly!

    Without a doubt, Xiao Yan''s enormous fire wings completely ignited the crowd. Waves of cheers, screams, and applause surged like tides.

    "So handsome!"

    "Woah!! So cool!"

    Just those fire wings alone had already enamored countless women present with this young man who was the only one not wearing an alchemist''s robe.

    "He truly has some genuine skill. No wonder Great-Grandfather holds him in such high regard," Yao Ye murmured softly as she gazed at the youth calmly receiving the countless cheers in the center of the arena.

    Even Nalan Yanran''s beautiful eyes were fixed on that most dazzling star in the plaza. A rare softness appeared on her pretty face, though it was unclear what she was thinking at this moment.

    The Mu Clan''s Dou King Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he stared at Xiao Yan in the arena. After a moment, he turned to Mu Zhan behind him, whose right hand was bandaged, and asked, "Is he the one who severed your hand last night?"

    "Yes!" Mu Zhan replied viciously. What he found most unbearable was being beaten like that in front of Ya Fei!

    Chairman Fa Ma''s experienced eyes looked toward Xiao Yan''s cauldron and said calmly, "That black flame gives me a strange feeling. Although it''s not as powerful as that red Heavenly Flame, it''s definitely not as simple as an ordinary flame. That young man probably doesn''t want to take advantage of the benefits of a Heavenly Flame."

    Fa Ma and the others weren''t wrong. There was indeed a significant difference between the Seed Flame and the main body.

    Xiao Yan watched the black flames roaring inside the cauldron and didn''t bother to think too much. With a wave of his hand, he tossed all the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron at

    once.

    "What?! He threw all the ingredients in at once!"

    "Each ingredient needs to be refined at a different temperature. Throwing them all in

    together will just ruin them!"

    Naturally, Xiao Yan, being the center of attention, caused a stir in the stands when he dumped

    all the ingredients in at once.

    Even some of the elders from the Alchemist Association in the VIP seats were puzzled, not understanding why Xiao Yan would do this.

    Fa Ma nodded silently and explained, "Typically, refining pills involves extracting and refining each ingredient separately using the cauldron, as different ingredients require different temperatures. After refining each ingredient and processing them, they are then

    fused to form the pill."

    "This method can lead to potential contamination of the refined medicinal essences by the air, even if the contamination is only one in ten thousand, which can reduce the pill''s quality, though it speeds up the pill formation process."

    "By doing it Xiao Yan''s way, he can completely isolate the medicinal essences and prevent any contamination. However, this technique demands extremely precise temperature control and extraction accuracy. Without strong fire control and Spiritual Strength, it''s impossible. He must be very confident in his fire control and Spiritual Strength."

    The group of elders finally understood after hearing Chairman Fa Ma''s explanation. Princess Yao Ye murmured from the side, "His fire control and Spiritual Strength have already reached the level of a 4th-tier alchemist."

    Even with a precise pill recipe, carefully extracting the ingredients required extreme caution, fearing that the slightest mistake could cause the temperature to be too high. This tier 2 pill recipe only provided a list of ingredients, with no further details.

    But Xiao Yan hadn''t been refining pills for just a day or two. His alchemy skills were honed through countless experiences and failures over many years.

    His Spiritual Strength instantly enveloped the cauldron. All the medicinal essences fused according to the correct proportions and sequence. Years of alchemy experience allowed him to see at a glance how these ingredients should be combined to achieve the desired effect.

    Before long, three distinct clinks rang out as Xiao Yan collected three medicinal pills into a

    pill bottle.

    "Three pills in one batch!!"

    "Is that for real? Is this really his first time refining a Bone Growing Pill? He can extract the medicinal essences so perfectly even with just a handwritten recipe!"
