Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 614 The Battle for the Championship
With Dan Chen's current skill level, if he were to fully utilize the Spirit Ascension Technique, not to mention refining an eighth-grade eight-colored pill, even an eighth-grade nine-colored pill... would not be an unattainable dream.

After all, her "configuration" as an alchemist was simply too luxurious.

A unique soul talent, a soul realm at the late stage of the Spirit Realm, a high-level Heaven-rank soul cultivation technique, a synthetic strange fire comparable to the top ten on the Strange Fire Ranking, and fire control methods, alchemy secrets, and high-level soul secret techniques taught by Lin Yuan that integrate the strengths of various schools...

This top-tier "configuration" is comparable to that of Yao Tian and Yao Ling, and even within the deeply rooted Yao Clan, few can rival it.

Compared to the two members of the Medicine Clan who are already half-saints, Dan Chen only lacks a few years of time!

In terms of future resources, she will be no less than those two.

However, Lin Yuan did not intend to let Dan Chen go all out this time, for no other reason than that an eighteen-year-old peak eighth-grade alchemist was too flamboyant and might arouse the interest of someone in the Soul Clan.

Unlike his cunning and shrewd self, the still naive and inexperienced Dan Chen was not yet capable of dealing with those complex situations.

In addition, it's time for this meeting to come to a close.

Through the mysterious connection of the Dragon Seal, Lin Yuan could sense that Zi Yan had returned several days ago and was currently hiding in the void, waiting for orders.

In this way, everything is ready.

On the other side, after receiving Lin Yuan's message, Dan Chen nodded almost imperceptibly, feeling a sense of relief.

She has always preferred peace and quiet and doesn't want too much attention, so this is perfect!
At this moment, Dan Chen still had that gentle and timid appearance, and even her eyes and brows still showed shyness and bashfulness.

However, in everyone's eyes, she is already a rising sun, radiating a light that cannot be ignored... An eighteen-year-old Rank 8 Seven-Color Alchemist, this achievement is a testament to her limitless future, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is a worthy successor!

Just like the people from the Gu, Lei, Yan, and Shi clans who were present, they all looked at Dan Chen with great solemnity.

Even the usually arrogant and disdainful geniuses of the Medicine Clan could only lower their heads in silence when facing Dan Chen, their faces full of frustration and resentment.

They never expected that they would be defeated by a little girl named Danta.

His previous arrogance and haughtiness now seemed utterly ridiculous.

On the plaza, the whispers and mocking glances that swept over the eight proud and arrogant geniuses of the Medicine Clan made their faces extremely ugly.

But at times like these, they have no way to express their feelings and can only keep their anger bottled up inside.

Ignoring the intense gazes of the crowd, the geniuses of the Medicine Clan slowly shifted their eyes, like drowning people grasping at the last straw, placing all their hopes on Yao Tian and Yao Ling in front of them.

These two have enjoyed the best training resources in the clan, and now it's time for them to repay everyone's expectations!

After the commotion subsided, the other people's emotions gradually calmed down.

Everyone understood that everything before was just a prelude, and the three extraordinary experts were the real contenders for the throne!
Thinking of this, everyone turned their gazes to the last three stone platforms, where three figures with vast and boundless auras sat cross-legged, exuding an extremely mysterious charm.

As if responding to expectations, Yao Tian and Yao Ling opened their eyes simultaneously.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Yao Tian and Yao Ling's eyes sharpened, and their hands moved with dazzling speed, forming an extremely profound set of hand seals.

"Imperial Blood Sacrifice to the Spirit!"

The moment the seal was formed, a wisp of green light shot out from the clan markings between the two men's brows and entered the enormous fire cauldron, whereupon blood-green flames rose up.

A moment later, a mysterious energy fluctuation emanated from the medicine cauldron.

"boom--"

In an instant, a loud bang suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, and an extremely strong energy fluctuation, accompanied by a dense purple aura, spread out.

Upon seeing this, someone exclaimed, "The pill has been successfully refined?" Before the words were even finished, everyone felt that the world seemed to darken all at once, and clouds rapidly gathered from all directions.

What was unusual was that the clouds that gathered this time were not the usual dark color, but an extremely deep and dark hue.

Dark clouds filled the sky, but no thunder could be heard from them.

But when everyone raised their eyes and looked at that dark cloud—a dark cloud so deep that it could devour even one's gaze—their souls trembled involuntarily.

At the same time, all the other thunderclouds in the sky, whether two-colored, three-colored, six-colored, or seven-colored, rapidly contracted.

They looked as if they had encountered some great terror.

"What kind of thundercloud is this?" Upon seeing this, many people's pupils shrank in shock. "It can actually make other thunderclouds... even seven-colored thunderclouds so afraid. It doesn't seem to be an eight- or nine-colored thundercloud either... Hiss, could it be..."

An unbelievable thought surged into the minds of many, causing them to involuntarily gasp.

The people had some guesses about the pills that could trigger such a powerful lightning strike.

In the distant sky, black clouds churned and rolled, and the entire world was silent, without the sound of thunder.

However, it is precisely this deathly silence that makes it so terrifying.

"Black Demon Lightning... I've seen it again after several years!" The Grand Elder raised his head, gazing at the eerie black clouds in the sky, and murmured.

The last time I saw it was back in the Star Boundary, when Lin Yuan raised a ninth-grade pill beast.

The old doctor gazed solemnly at the writhing black clouds in the sky. From them, he sensed a familiar destructive power, an extremely concentrated force that was many times stronger than a dozen colorful thunderclouds combined.

After all, the combined energy of all the eighth-grade pills at this pill gathering is less than that of a single eighth-grade nine-colored pill.

The eighth-grade nine-colored pill and the ninth-grade treasure pill seem to be only one step apart, but they are actually worlds apart, and the difference of a hundredfold is no joke.

Therefore, the thunderbolts they can generate are naturally not on the same level of power!

The siblings Yao Tian and Yao Ling, through both secret techniques and joint cultivation, may seem to have taken shortcuts, but they have indeed accomplished a remarkable feat at a young age.

Before their peers break through to the Dou Sheng realm, even disregarding bloodline, these two would be among the top two outstanding individuals in the ancient clans—their ability to refine ninth-grade pills makes them far more valuable than ordinary Dou Sheng.

Many of those present had a deep understanding of alchemy, and naturally they quickly guessed the reason for the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"Could this... this be the legendary Black Demon Lightning?"

"Black Demon Lightning? The legendary divine lightning that appears alongside ninth-grade elixirs? My god, am I dreaming?"

"Isn't this year's Alchemy Conference a bit too much?" "Tsk tsk, I think so too... This is my third time attending the Alchemy Conference, and this scale is much larger than the previous two!"

"It didn't jump from the eight or nine-colored pill lightning, but directly to the black demon lightning?"

"A ninth-grade pill, tsk tsk, as expected of a genius of the Medicine Clan. At such a young age, to be able to refine something like this is simply terrifying..."

They raised their heads, took a deep look at Lei Yun, and then looked at the two refiners.

The beautiful face of the medicine spirit was now completely pale, and her aura had become extremely weak due to prolonged exertion.

Even for a semi-saint to refine a ninth-grade pill, even with joint refinement, is an extremely difficult task!

If it weren't for the Medicine Clan's unique Dou Di bloodline, the Medicine Clan's profound alchemy skills, and her special physique, it would have been difficult to accomplish such a feat.

"Lin Yuan, what about you? Can you really refine a ninth-grade item?"

Taking a deep breath, Yao Ling suppressed the weakness emanating from her soul and looked intently in Lin Yuan's direction, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

On the other side, Yao Tian's face was also as pale as paper, but his eyes were full of ecstasy and pride—the black demon lightning phenomenon was condensing, which meant that heaven and earth recognized it. This pill, which he and Yao Ling had used all their methods to refine, had finally been successfully made!

In this way, the Medicine Clan has essentially secured the championship title in this significant Pill Gathering.

After dozens of days of arduous refining, Yao Tian was now confident that, apart from himself and Yao Ling working together, no one else could produce a ninth-grade pill during the semi-saint refining stage.

As for how to deal with the Black Demon Lightning, the Medicine Clan has an abundance of methods at their disposal!
Yao Tian stood up triumphantly, lazily spreading his hands as he sensed the destructive power behind the black clouds, a blissful smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Lin Yuan, it seems that this time, I, the young master, have won!"

He stood proudly with his hands behind his back under the dark thunderclouds, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the stone platform where Lin Yuan was. He glanced at the fire cauldron above Lin Yuan but still couldn't sense any fluctuations from the pills. A sneer immediately appeared on his lips.

Could this bastard have actually succeeded in refining the elixir and been putting on a show of psychological pressure all this time?

If they were to resort to such tricks again, it would truly be laughable!
Upon seeing this, Dan Chen frowned slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a clear, light laugh rang out.

"Oh? You're that confident?" The woman, who had kept her eyes closed, finally opened them slowly and chuckled, "You can still be so confident in front of me..."

"Heh, just trying to be mysterious!"

Interrupted from his beautiful reverie, Yao Tian's face darkened, and he said with a cold laugh.

Lin Yuan ignored his words, slowly raised his hand, and then gently grasped the ice-blue fire cauldron.

Instantly, a series of "crack" sounds rang out, and cracks appeared on the fire cauldron.

A moment later, the fire cauldron finally couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded with a loud "bang," unleashing a burst of scorching blue flames. The terrifying temperature, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas, instantly caused the temperature of the surrounding area to surge.

A moment later, the flames slowly dissipated, and a beautiful ice-blue flame lotus slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

The fire lotus suddenly expanded, growing to a size of a hundred feet in an instant, stretching across the distant sky.

A terrifying aura surged forth, accompanied by a rich, exotic fragrance. Instantly, both the colorful and black thunderclouds trembled.

"Lin Yuan, what are you doing?!"

Upon seeing this scene and its imposing presence, Yao Tian's heart sank, and his face showed an undisguised tension as he shouted sharply.

He could sense an extremely rich fragrance of elixir emanating from the fire lotus.

Ignoring Yao Tian, ​​Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened as he gazed at the enormous fire lotus in the sky, his hands forming a series of hand seals.

"Vajra Lotus Condensation!" As his hand seals changed continuously, the ice-blue fire lotus in the sky began to rotate lightly. Instantly, an astonishing energy fluctuation slowly spread from the ice-blue fire lotus.

Sensing this fluctuation, everyone was shocked, as they hadn't noticed it at all in the past few days.

"Damn it, it's actually the method of condensing matter and forming an elixir?"

In the void, Yao Wangui suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand, his face no longer showing the confidence he had just displayed, but turning extremely gloomy in an instant.

This kid from Danta actually knows this kind of technique?
No wonder he couldn't sense any medicinal aura when he secretly used his soul power to investigate.

The method of condensing matter and forming elixir requires extremely profound control over fire and soul power to be used. Even Yao Wangui, a master alchemist, would not dare to use this method when refining elixirs...

However, he never expected that a young genius like Lin Yuan could execute it perfectly.

"This kid's fire control ability is probably no less than my own."

Thinking of this, Yao Wangui's cold and sharp eyes pierced through the void, staring intently at Lin Yuan, and killing intent gradually gathered within them.

At such a young age, this kid is a great threat to the Medicine Clan!
If they don't do something soon, this gamble, which concerns the different fire, the secret method of creating fire, and the inheritance of the Golden Core of the Medicine Clan, might very well lead to Yao Tian and Yao Ling's withdrawal.

However, just as Yao Wangui was about to get up, a hand landed on his shoulder, the force of which made him feel unshakeable.

Elder Huoyao looked at Yao Wangui and said with a smile, "Brother Wangui, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"The view here is good enough, why bother going to the stadium to watch the game?"

"Alright, we're old acquaintances, and there are no outsiders here, so I won't stand on ceremony! I've been entrusted with this task, and I'll naturally do my duty... I'll trouble you to stay here until the Dan Conference ends."

He paused, then added, "This matter concerns my reputation. If you still consider me a friend, please don't make things difficult for me and continue with your underhanded tactics."

As he spoke, Huo Yao waved his sleeve, and a solid barrier materialized.

Huo Yao, entrusted by Lin Yuan, ensured that Yao Wangui would not cause trouble and also witnessed Yao Wangui making a promise to Elder Lin, stating that he would never interfere with the alchemy meeting process again.

But you can't trust Yao Wangui's character at all.

Therefore, Huo Yao simply sealed off the space, making it impossible for Yao Wangui to leave easily and also making it difficult for him to interfere with the outside world.

Of course, the reason why Huo Yao was willing to go to such lengths was because Lin Yuan and Dan Chen had already proven their talent and future... Even though the Medicine Clan was large and powerful, the future of the master and disciple was still worth investing in!
