Ye Lingyue gazed at the Blood Cauldron, listening to the murmurings from every corner of the Alchemist Mansion. The alchemists there were whispering among themselves.

"Just as I thought, a Sixth-rank Alchemist, what makes her think she can lead all of us?"

"In my opinion, let alone the Blood Cauldron, I'm afraid she can't even refine a decent fifth-grade elixir pill."

"Female Alchemist, who knows if she used some unsightly means, flattering someone of high status, to climb her way to the position she's in today."

Despising them, Ye Lingyue inwardly cursed, turning her gaze back to the Blood Cauldron.

That Blood Cauldron, setting anything else aside, likely weighs about five to six thousand kilograms just by itself. Merely controlling the temperature of the whole Blood Cauldron using spiritual power is already very difficult.

No wonder no one inside the Alchemist Mansion could handle it.

"If Cauldron Master Ye is afraid, there's no need to force it, but then an Imperial Decree from the court wouldn't count for much," Wang Zhangding fanned the flames at the side.

A little girl like her, good at brown-nosing perhaps, but when it's time to actually perform alchemy, she doesn't know jack.

Just the tale of the Blood Cauldron consuming a person has already scared her half to death.

"Fine, let me give it a try," Ye Lingyue suddenly declared, causing Wang Zhangding to be taken aback.

What, she's really going to use the Blood Cauldron to perform alchemy?

Ye Lingyue said to refine, and thus ordered people from Alchemist Mansion to prepare the materials needed to refine five hundred Grade Five Candle Dragon Elixirs.

The Candle Dragon Elixir is similar to the Xuanyin Elixie, but unlike the Xuanyin Elixie, the Candle Dragon Elixir contains rich Yang Gang Qi. It's an excellent elixir for Elixir Realm experts to break through to the Reincarnation Realm. Its grade is just slightly lower than the Reincarnation Elixir, making it a challenging elixir to refine.

An ordinary Seven Rank Alchemist refining a small batch of Candle Dragon Elixir, around ten pills, would generally require ten days to half a month. But Ye Lingyue was talking about using the Blood Cauldron to refine the Candle Dragon Elixir within a single day.

"A hundred Candle Dragon Elixirs, this woman must be delusional. With her capabilities, she thinks to refine a hundred Candle Dragon Elixirs simultaneously?"

Once those alchemists heard this, they all had one thought in their minds, the fool is dreaming.

Truly ignorant of how vast the sky and how deep the earth is, let this woman be directly devoured by the Blood Cauldron then.

Wang Zhangding was disdainful in his heart, but still helped Ye Lingyue with great eagerness, arranging all the various medicinal herbs needed for the Candle Dragon Elixir.

Standing beneath the Blood Cauldron, Ye Lingyue's stature didn't even reach the belly of the cauldron.

"Ignorant of their fate, I reckon she can't even open the lid of the cauldron."

The lid of the Blood Cauldron appeared to weigh nearly a thousand kilograms.

Ye Lingyue ignored the clamorous noise around her; her Divine Sense stirred, and the bulky lid of the Blood Cauldron was lifted off.

Following that, Ye Lingyue swiftly manipulated her spiritual power, which surged toward the Blood Cauldron.

A booming sound was heard as the flames beneath the Blood Cauldron ignited.

Ye Lingyue had her eyes locked onto the Blood Cauldron. While rapidly heating up the Blood Cauldron, a large number of medicinal ingredients fell into her hands. With spiritual power condensed in her hands, clumps of medicinal essence were purified and then sequentially added to the Blood Cauldron.

"This girl, she can purify the medicinal ingredients while controlling the temperature of the alchemy furnace simultaneously?"

The alchemists who had been mocking Ye Lingyue earlier were suddenly as if they had been slapped across the face, falling silent at once.

The reason why it takes so long to refine the Candle Dragon Elixir is that it requires fifty to sixty types of medicinal ingredients. Ordinary alchemists need to purify the ingredients first before controlling the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir.

Purification alone normally takes five to six days, but Ye Lingyue was purifying the ingredients at a speed tens of times faster than normal people.

Not only that, as she purified the raw materials, she controlled the alchemy furnace's fire. This ability to multitask, which even high-level Sixth or Seventh Rank Alchemists could only dream of achieving, included Wang Zhangding among them.

Where would they know, it's not just multitasking; for Ye Lingyue, who had practiced the Jade Hand Poison Master's Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles, she could now divide the Star Saliva into nine parts and simultaneously control nine Star Saliva Daggers. This meant she could focus on nine tasks simultaneously, or even more.

In just two to three hours, fifty to sixty types of raw materials were purified one by one, all transformed into medicinal essences, which Ye Lingyue then added to the Blood Cauldron.

"Not enough, this quantity is still far from enough. If she wants to refine over a hundred, or even five hundred Candle Dragon Elixirs, this girl's preparation is entirely insufficient."

When Wang Zhangkong saw Ye Lingyue being able to multitask, his eyeballs nearly popped out.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, but he was still muttering to himself, comforting himself.

Ye Lingyue, who overheard Wang Zhangding's words, curled her lips into a smile.

She suddenly raised her hand, her arms trembling like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

From the tips of her fingers, invisible spiritual power surged out like thousands of spider silk strands.

Beneath the Blood Cauldron, the previously blazing fire suddenly paused as if about to extinguish and was about to dim.

"Her spiritual power is not enough, the fire is going to die out. Once the fire dies, this Candle Dragon Elixir will be ruined," exclaimed Wang Zhangding with glee.

But in the next moment, the joy on his face froze.

The fire seed beneath the Blood Cauldron suddenly split into several groups, and with popping sounds, it divided into over a hundred clusters.

In the blink of an eye, those fire seeds fell onto the unlit Hundred Alchemy Cauldrons on the Alchemy Field.

A hundred clusters of flames lit up the hundred cauldrons simultaneously, and the flames under each cauldron blazed high.

With another movement of Ye Lingyue's fingertips, hundreds of fused Candle Dragon Elixir essences flew out from the Blood Cauldron, neatly landing in each cauldron.

A hundred cauldrons refined elixirs at the same time, and through the entire process, Ye Lingyue remained calm and collected.

Outside the Alchemist Mansion, the sky had already darkened.

Those Alchemists who had earlier mocked Ye Lingyue now fell silent, and not one left their spot.

Their feet were as if nailed to the ground, and they all stared in awe at the unbelievable scene unfolding in the Alchemy Field.

When it reached the latter half of the process, Ye Lingyue felt her spiritual power waning, and she quickly mobilized the Cauldron Breath within her body to rapidly replenish the consumption of her spiritual power.

The sky darkened, then brightened again; unknowingly, a day and a night had passed.

Around noon, the sky above Dan City's Alchemist Mansion suddenly swirled with a streak of Elixir Energy that painted the entire sky red.

This Elixir Energy was different from the usual, forming not just cloud-like formations.

Suddenly, a roar akin to that of a dragon pierced the heavens, and an ancient Candle Dragon from the Ancient Times coiled above the Alchemist Mansion.

The dragon was not an ordinary Candle Dragon; it was an Elixir Candle Dragon phantom formed by the collective Elixir Energy of countless Candle Dragon Elixirs.

Upon seeing the Elixir Candle Dragon, Wang Zhangkong's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, how could it be... It's actually the Elixir Candle Dragon!

For many years, aside from what was mentioned in legends, Wang Zhangkong and all other Alchemists present had never witnessed such a celestial phenomenon caused by Alchemy.

A Sixth-rank Alchemist had actually triggered an alchemy phenomenon, the Elixir Candle Dragon!
