  Chapter 156 Strange Fire! Dark Horse Appears!

  The Alchemist Competition has entered a white-hot stage. Alchemists from all sides show their magical powers, and pills float up from the medicine cauldrons one by one.

  "Second-grade pill: Shenggu Pill. Score: C+"

  "Second-grade pill: Bingqing Pill. Score: C"

  "Third-grade pill: Xingshen Pill. Score: B"

  "Third-grade pill: Fengxing Pill. Score: B+"

  At this time, the alchemists who have refined the pills and give the judges the scores are all second- and third-grade alchemists. Although the pills are good, they are obviously not qualified to compete for the championship.

  "The little princess is going to make the pill!"

  The judges of the guild have high hopes.

  "What a strong pill fragrance! Could it be a fourth-grade pill?"

  Hearing the continuous exclamations from the surroundings, Yaoyue couldn't help but show some pride on her pretty face. The pill in the cauldron was the only fourth-grade pill she was sure to refine: the Weather Pill, and it also had a certain failure rate, but fortunately she was lucky today and succeeded in one try.

  "Look! Liu Ling is also going to make a pill!"

  However, the exclamation did not last long. From the other Liu Ling medicine cauldron, a more intense and tempting pill fragrance came out. The two scents rose from their respective medicine cauldrons and finally blended with each other on the square, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.

  "As expected of the disciple of the Pill King Gu He, this is the fourth-grade pill: Beast Power Pill. In terms of efficacy and difficulty, it is slightly better than the little princess's Weather Pill."

  Although the guild judges favored Yaoyue very much, they still made a correct evaluation out of fairness in the Alchemist Competition.

  "Yaoyue successfully refined the fourth-grade pill: Weather Pill, score: A"

  "Liu Ling successfully refined the fourth-grade pill: Beast Power Pill, score: A+"

  "Humph!"

  Yaoyue, who has a good perception, can also distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the two pills. At that moment, her eyebrows frowned and she fiercely glared at Liu Ling who was smiling at her.

  "Haha! Princess Yaoyue, I'm sorry! Let me take the lead today."

  Liu Ling laughed triumphantly. Who else could compete with him?

  "Liu Ling, don't be too happy too soon. Yun Tianming and Xiao Yan haven't made the elixir yet."

  Yaoyue looked at Yun Tianming expectantly.

  However, surprisingly, with a dull bang, the medicine cauldron in front of Yun Tianming emitted bursts of black smoke, announcing the failure of alchemy.

  "It actually failed? What a pity!"

  "How could this happen?"

  "What kind of elixir did he refine? He actually used multiple flames? It would be strange if the furnace didn't explode!"

  Everyone was puzzled by this.

  Only Fa Ma knew what was going on. He thought to himself: Sure enough, Yun Tianming refined the three-pattern Qingling Pill. The mysterious alchemist had shown that the refining process must control three kinds of flames at the same time, and the difficulty is even higher than that of ordinary fifth-grade elixirs.

  "Failed. I don't have enough control over the other two flames."

  Yun Tianming frowned. He just used three kinds of beast fire. Except for the extremely purple beast fire, which was swallowed by the Burning Technique, the other two were two fifth-level beast fires bought at random. They were just temporarily adjusted with poor accuracy, which eventually led to an accident during the alchemy process.

  "Since you failed, let me win the championship this time!"

  Xiao Yan was full of fighting spirit. He first used the beast fire of the Fire Rock Dragon. The beast fire swallowed by the Burning Technique was easy to control.

  "Such a strong elixir fragrance. Is Xiao Yan ready to make the elixir?"

  "Another fourth-grade elixir. This guy is really the dark horse of this competition!"

  Everyone cast their eyes on him.

  "From the concentration of the elixir fragrance, this guy may not be able to compare with me."

  Liu Ling's forehead was sweating coldly, and he seemed a little lacking in confidence.

  "Humph! It's not over yet!"

  Xiao Yan looked at the elixir that was constantly churning in the medicine cauldron, and had no intention of taking it out of the furnace.   

  Yao Chen's encouraging voice rang in his ears: Take it! The championship belongs to us!

  A ball of white flame appeared in the medicine cauldron.

  "What happened? Why did the flame in the furnace start to be restless?"

  Everyone was surprised, and then they felt that the temperature around them dropped sharply.

  "Where did the ice fighting spirit

  come from?" "Is there a Douhuang strongman taking action?"

  The elder alchemists in the guild subconsciously released their soul perception, looked at each other, and did not notice anything unusual.

  "This flame"

  At a certain moment, Fa Ma's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan. There, he seemed to vaguely see some white things, and a chill actually slowly seeped out from the medicine cauldron.

  Many sensitive alchemists gradually realized that the chill came from Xiao Yan, and they all frowned: "What on earth is Xiao Yan doing? He actually created chill at the critical moment of alchemy? Isn't he afraid of extinguishing the flame in the furnace?"

  "No mistake, this flame is from the mysterious alchemist back then!"

  "This is a strange fire!"

  Fa Ma muttered to himself in a low voice, but the word "strange fire" has unparalleled lethality for all alchemists.

  "What?!"

  "It's the legendary strange fire!"

  "Xiao Yan has a strange fire!"

  At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yan.

  "This, how is this possible?"

  Liu Ling was even more dumbfounded, because even his teacher Gu He couldn't find a strange fire.

  "Xiao Yan, from the Xiao family in Wutan City."

  "He has a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran of Yunlan Sect. He is really capable."

  After the preliminary competition yesterday, Yaoyue sent people to carefully investigate the information about Xiao Yan.

  Ignoring the attention of everyone, Xiao Yan was concentrating on controlling the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Under the powerful power of the strange fire, he quickly removed the impurities in the elixir and further increased the medicinal power contained in it.

  "Champion, I want it!"

  Xiao Yan laughed heroically, and a deep green elixir rose from the medicine cauldron. The surface of the elixir also had two mysterious elixir patterns. The elixir fragrance it exuded was a few points stronger than that of Yaoyue and Liu Ling before!

  "Xiao Yan successfully refined the fourth-grade elixir: Two-patterned Qingling Pill, score: S!"

  As the guild judges announced the results, the whole audience shouted.

  For most alchemists, being able to see the legendary strange fire is already a great blessing in life, and they are convinced of their defeat.

  But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.

  "Haha!"

  "Alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire, are you too happy too early?"

  It was a young man wearing the robe of an alchemist of the Izumo Empire.

  "This is..."

  Fa Ma's pupils suddenly shrank.

  As the young man's elixir rose from the medicine cauldron, a rich elixir fragrance far surpassing everyone else filled the entire venue!

  "Teacher, what is going on?!"

  Xiao Yan's smile froze, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

  "Fourth-grade peak elixir: Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill."

  "Ah~ It seems that you can't take this championship."

  Yao Chen's regretful voice sounded.
