Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 608 Frequent Emergence of Strange Flames
Although the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking cannot compare to the Strange Flame Ranking, a good medicine cauldron is still extremely attractive to alchemists.

This is the first time that six Heavenly Cauldron Ranking treasure cauldrons have appeared together at the Pill Gathering.

Besides these six precious cauldrons, various other high-level medicine cauldrons also appeared one after another, causing a stir among the audience... This was the first time many people had ever seen so many high-quality medicine cauldrons appear at the same time.

After the numerous pharmacists summoned their medicine cauldrons, another series of "poof poof poof" sounds rang out in the sky, followed by the rising of multicolored flames.

Most of these flames are animal fire, but there are also a few strange flames.

From afar, the sky, illuminated by the various colored lights, appeared exceptionally magnificent.

Nearly a thousand alchemists lit fires simultaneously, igniting the first wave of excitement on the plaza. Deafening cheers pierced the sky and resounded throughout the entire Holy Pill City.

However, most of the advanced alchemists did not choose to start a fire to refine medicine immediately.

People like Lin Yuan, Yao Tian, ​​Yao Ling, Cao Ying, and Xiao Yan all sat down quietly, their eyes slightly closed, using various methods to eliminate distracting thoughts.

Alchemy is a process that requires patience and tranquility, especially when so many people are working together to refine pills that push their own limits. This requires a great deal of mental and physical energy, so it is natural to need to adjust one's mind to a near-perfect state.

Not long after, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His deep eyes were serene, as if they could encompass all things.

Not far behind him, Cao Ying also opened her beautiful eyes. With a gentle flip of her jade palm, a ball of red flame, so intense it stung the eyes, slowly rose from her palm.

The flame was a bright red color, and as it rose, a tiny figure could be vaguely seen, tumbling and flying within the fire like an elf.

As soon as the flames appeared, the beast fire within Song Qingding fluctuated.

He quickly calmed the flames in the cauldron, then turned his gaze to the red flames in Cao Ying's palm. He paused for a moment, then a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Blood Demon Flame, a powerful artificial flame.

This fire was created by fusing the blood of a thousand fire-attribute magical beasts using a secret method, and condensing the fire-attribute energy within the blood.

Lin Yuan also knew this high-level secret technique of the Pill Tower, which was one of the methods he referenced when perfecting the Transformation Fire technique... The perfected Transformation Fire technique was a "benefit" that Lin Yuan planned to give to the Pill Tower after he took control of it, in order to enhance his prestige and consolidate the hearts of the people.

The ultimate goal, or vision, of this "benefit" is "to enable all alchemists to have a good flame."

Lin Yuan was also quite confident in the power of the perfected Transformation Fire.

"Puff puff--"

As Cao Ying summoned the Blood Demon Flame, several flames rose and the sound of them rising rang out.

Lin Yuan looked up and saw that the seven people behind Yao Tian and Yao Ling were each releasing flames of different shapes and colors.

Although these flames were not exotic flames, their power was comparable to or even surpassed Cao Ying's Blood Demon Flame. In particular, the silver flame in Yao Xingji's palm caused a slight ripple in the flames of the others.

As a family of alchemists with a long history, the Medicine Clan may not have many different kinds of flames at present, but they do have secret methods to create special flames.

If Cao Ying's Blood Demon Flame has about 60% of the power of ordinary strange fire, then the flames summoned by these Medicine Clan members generally have about 60-70% of the power of ordinary strange fire.

The silver flame in Yao Xingji's palm possesses 80% of the power of an ordinary strange fire.

On the other side, Xinlan also changed her hand seals, and a strange black and white flame emerged from her body with a "poof" sound, followed by a wave of intense heat.

The power of these black and white flames was in no way inferior to Yao Xingji's silver flames, which surprised the Yao clan members.

Yao Xingji's flame is called "Starlight Flame," a flame created using a Heavenly Rank secret technique of the Yao Clan, and its cost is quite considerable... But unexpectedly, a mere girl at the Talented Dou Sect level actually possesses an artificial flame that is in no way inferior to "Starlight Flame."

This is the power of the fifth level, the highest level of Lin Yuan's perfected Fire Transformation Secret Technique.

The perfected Fire Transformation Secret Technique is divided into five levels.

Each level increases significantly in both manufacturing costs and operational difficulty, but its power will never disappoint.

The first level possesses 30% of the power of a strange fire; the second level possesses 50% of the power of a strange fire; the third level possesses 60% of the power of a strange fire; the fourth level possesses 70% of the power of a strange fire; and the fifth level possesses 80% of the power of a strange fire.

In his spare time, Lin Yuan summarized a set of fire control techniques—the Transformation of Fire Essence Technique—specifically used to manipulate and generate fire.

This set of techniques was naturally passed on to Xinlan.

Subsequently, Lin Yuan intended to promote all methods that could improve productivity, including "Transforming into Fire," "Transforming into Fire Essence Technique," and "Spirit Ascension Minor Technique."

Of course, considering the differences in relationships, we should let Danta and Canaan Academy reap some benefits first.

As his thoughts raced, the strange fire within Lin Yuan's body suddenly flickered.

He raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look. He saw Yao Ziyou make several hand seals, then spread out his left and right palms. Two flames, one black and one white, rose up from his left and right palms with a "poof" sound.

Although both are black and white flames, Yao Ziyou's flames are exceptionally spiritual compared to Xinlan's transformative fire.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yao Ziyou slightly raised his hand, and the black and white flames flew out from his palm, then intertwined in front of him, swimming like yin and yang fish.

In an instant, a mysterious and intense heat emanated from the yin-yang fish.

Upon encountering this fluctuation, the flames within many of the medicine cauldrons on the field began to stir violently, with several of them even exploding with a "bang".

The scorching wind shook the unsuspecting people off the stone platform.

"A strange fire?" Upon seeing this, countless gazes shot over from the plaza, and exclamations of surprise rose and fell. "This strange fire, ranked twenty-first, is the Yin-Yang Twin Flames!"

Legend has it that Yin and Yang are the laws of nature and the origin of all things in the world.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flames, born from the origin, are one of the flame forms manifested by the origin, filled with the dual power of life and death.

Yang fire saves lives, giving life endlessly; Yin fire kills, leaving no trace of the body.

Of course, such sophisticated descriptions in ancient books are ultimately just empty talk.

While the power of Yin and Yang is indeed the fundamental power of all things, it also has different levels of "quality" and "quantity"... The Yin-Yang Twin Flames are ultimately just a low-ranking strange fire, and the Yin-Yang origin they possess is not very high-end.

However, this fire was born under special conditions, and in terms of rarity, it is indeed no less than some of the top fifteen rare fires.

On the field, the yin-yang symbol slowly rotated, causing numerous flames to sway, making this flame appear like an emperor among fires, receiving the homage of many other flames...

This scene astonished many viewers. As the supreme of all fires, the Different Flame certainly displayed considerable power in this "fire battle"!
On the stone platform, Yao Ziyou's lips curled into a smug smile.

Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Ziyou indifferently, a cold smile appearing on his handsome face. Then he suddenly clenched his fist, and the brownish-yellow Wind Fury Dragon Flame flashed out, transforming into a brownish-yellow fire dragon, which let out a strange roar towards the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

At this roar, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames paused for a moment, and then, amidst countless astonished gazes, suddenly returned to Yao Ziyou's palm.

This sudden scene made many people laugh.

The contest between the Pill Tower and the Medicine Clan, the grudges between the Medicine Clan and Yao Chen, the conflict between Xiao Yan and Yao Ziyou... these are all major highlights of this Pill Gathering.

"Humph--"

Glancing at the flame that had leaped back into his hand, Yao Ziyou snorted coldly and glared at Xiao Yan with a chilling look.

Then, he withdrew his gaze, flicked his finger, and the flames entered the medicine cauldron in front of him... He didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Yan now, anyway, after the Pill Gathering, the other party's Wind Fury Dragon Flame would also belong to him!
Having slightly dampened his opponent's spirits, Xiao Yan smiled faintly and slowly withdrew his gaze.

With a flick of his hand, the fire dragon swooped down and plunged directly into the Black Demon Cauldron. The raging flames quickly warmed the cold interior of the cauldron.

Seeing that the conflict between the two had stopped, Dan Chen, standing behind Lin Yuan, also withdrew her somewhat curious gaze and opened her fair palm.

"puff--"

With a soft laugh, a beautiful pale purple flame slowly rose from Dan Chen's palm.

With the appearance of this flame, along with the Yin-Yang Twin Flames and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame that had just displayed their might, all the other flames present dimmed considerably.

Upon seeing this, Dan Chen quickly suppressed the flames in his hand.

However, the powerful individuals possessed incredibly keen perception. Based solely on the aura released by the purple flames just moments before, they were able to definitively determine that Dan Chen's flames were extremely extraordinary, surpassing even the Yin-Yang Twin Flames and the Wind Fury Dragon Flames in power.

Those who knew some inside information, such as the Yan Clan, the Yao Clan, and Yao Lao, had a brilliant glint in their eyes.

All eyes were now focused on Dan Chen.

First was Yao Ling; looking at the pale purple flames that exuded a dreamlike quality, she was deeply moved.

"What beautiful flames! Much more beautiful than the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire."

Thinking of the strange fire within her body, Yao Ling sighed inwardly... Although the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire was quite powerful and much better than the pitch-black Nine Nether Wind Flame, it was still far from the beautiful flame she longed for.

The little girl's flames, like the Azure Ice Flame she had seen before, perfectly matched her aesthetic.

As Yao Lao gazed at the flame in Dan Chen's hand, a hint of struggle and intense longing flashed in his eyes.

"This flame is a synthetic flame... Is that the flame Lin Yuan intends to trade to me? As he said, it is indeed more powerful than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

Meanwhile, Yao Wangui and Huo Yao sat facing each other in the void stone pavilion, keeping a close eye on the situation on the field. They had naturally noticed what had just happened, and their two aged eyes flashed with a captivating light.

The two, both experts in fire manipulation, were certain that the flame in the little girl's hand was an extremely powerful strange fire that was not listed on the list of strange fires, and it was probably the legendary synthetic strange fire.

In retrospect, the Medicine Lord's secret method of creating fire was not exaggerated!
More importantly, the appearance of the second synthetic flame means that after obtaining the secret method of creating fire, it is possible to synthesize synthetic flames in batches.

The strong all possess a unique flame, which will allow the strength of our (Flame/Medicine) clan to leap forward!

Yao Wangui and Huo Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing the barely concealed greed in each other's eyes. They coughed simultaneously, then casually picked up their teacups, savoring the fragrant tea while pondering...

As they pondered the matter more deeply, their minds became increasingly agitated, and they grew more determined to obtain Lin Yuan's method for synthesizing different flames.

Huo Yao is alright. Since he has already made a deal with Lin Yuan, his main concern is how to successfully obtain the secret technique, and ideally, a few years earlier.

Yao Wangui, standing to the side, was determined—to obtain the secret technique by any means necessary!
Meanwhile, in the seats in the square, Huo Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze falling on Dan Chen, staring at the pale purple flame in the latter's palm, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her lively eyes.

She could sense that the strange fire in the little girl's hand was almost as powerful as her own Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

This is only natural, as Fu Xuan is not simply a spirit of a different kind of fire, but a spirit of a pill fire. She naturally possesses the spirituality of pills that far surpasses that of different kinds of fire, and the flames separated from her naturally have a spirituality far superior to those of different kinds of fire ranked lower.

As one of only three humanoid fire spirits in the world, Fu Xuan's potential was already astonishingly high.

In recent years, Fu Xuan has not only advanced to the level of a precious elixir, but he has also cultivated the "Nine Revolutions of Spirit Tempering" taught by the patriarch of the Pill Tower to the fourth revolution, and his spirituality has improved a lot compared to before.

In this situation, the sub-fire she separated for Dan Chen was extremely powerful in both its origin and spirituality.

"If the synthetic flames he gave to his disciples are already this powerful, then how powerful must his own synthetic flame, the Azure Ice Flame, be now?"

Huo Zhi stared intently at Lin Yuan, her curiosity growing stronger.

As time went by, the atmosphere on the field gradually heated up. Many alchemists were in full swing, concentrating on controlling the flames. The aroma of medicine wafted from the cauldron from time to time, filling the entire square and invigorating everyone who smelled it.

Only Lin Yuan, Yao Tian, ​​and Yao Ling remained standing on their respective stone platforms, neither taking out the cauldron nor lighting a fire...

"Gentlemen, aren't you going to begin?"

Lin Yuan looked at the two of them, broke the silence first, and chuckled.

Yao Tianjiang shifted his gaze from Lin Yuan and Dan Chen, turned his head to look at Yao Ling, and with a slight movement of his lips, conveyed a whisper to Yao Ling's ears.

"Little sister, that guy's strength is beyond expectations. He's already a high-level half-saint, so his alchemy skills can't be weak either."

"Now it seems that our initial plan to each refine an eighth-grade, nine-colored pill to defeat him is almost impossible. His secret method for creating strange fire is crucial to our clan. No matter what, we must obtain it this time!"

"So, let's give it our all! Even if it's unfair, we must win this time."

He paused, then added, "If we fail, given Elder Wan Gui's character and determination, he might do something... perhaps something you don't want to see."

Upon hearing Yao Tian's telepathic message, Yao Ling withdrew her gaze, pondered for a moment, and nodded to Yao Tian.

Then, she flicked her finger, and two jade bottles flew out of her storage ring: one contained a pill exuding a misty aura; the other contained a bottle of alluring, bright red blood...

Seeing this, Yao Tian flipped his hand and took out two identical items.

Not far away, the moment Lin Yuan saw the bottle of blood in Yao Ling's hand, his pupils contracted, and a piercing glint flashed in his deep eyes...
