Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 239: Alchemy Competition, Different Fire Confrontation

Hearing Xiao Yan's loud laughter, many people were secretly ashamed. These words were quite unpleasant to the ear. It seemed that the Xingyun Pavilion, the Xiao Clan, and the Soul Clan really had a deep grudge against each other.

"You are so sharp-tongued! Even your teacher Yao Chen is not qualified to ask me for advice."

Hunxuzi thought of something and restrained his emotions. He calmed down a little and smiled faintly. There was no anger on his face because of Xiao Yan's words. He looked very well-mannered. However, the eyes looking at the latter were cold and indifferent, and there was a hint of murderous intent.

"Well, the teacher said that I should be able to handle you, so there is no need for him to help."

Xiao Yan rubbed his chin, with a very bright smile on his face, but the words he said did not give any face to Hunxuzi at all.

"Haha, in that case, I'm very curious." Hunxuzi chuckled, and without further ado, he waved his sleeves, and black flames burst out from his body like an overwhelming force. Immediately in the sky in front of him, they condensed into a huge black fire cauldron that was a hundred feet in size. Faintly, there was a strange devouring power emanating from the fire cauldron.

"Void Swallowing Flame?"

Looking at the fire cauldron formed by black flames, Xiao Yan, Elder Wanhuo, and Old Man Shennong all stared at each other and said in a deep voice.

“I didn’t expect that this kind of strange fire would fall into the hands of the Soul Clan.”

Old man Shennong frowned, looking at the black fire cauldron with a solemn look in his eyes. As a senior in the world of alchemy, he was naturally very clear about the power of the Void Devouring Flame.

"Summon all the strange fire in your bodies. My Void Devouring Flame is extremely coveting their taste." Hunxuzi said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Yan and the other two.

"It's just a sub-fire that swallows fire, but it can be so domineering?"

Xiao Yan chuckled. Although the Void Devouring Flame in Hunxuzi's body gave him the feeling that it was much stronger than that of the Soul Palace Master, it had not reached the terrifying level of a true Devouring Flame. So it was obvious that the Void Devouring Flame in this guy's hand was just a seed fire.

Hearing this, Hunxuzi narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not expected Xiao Yan to reveal the truth in one sentence. However, he sneered immediately. Xiao Yan could recognize his Void Swallowing Flame, but he did not know that his Void Swallowing Flame was not an ordinary fire.

The Void Devouring Flame is extremely mysterious, and only a very small number of people know about it. Even the sub-fire of the Void Devouring Flame is divided into levels. Above the many ordinary sub-fires, there are two kinds of strange sub-fires, known as the sub-fires of heaven and earth. The Void Devouring Flame in his hand is the sub-fire of earth among them!

This so-called Earth Fire, from a certain level, can be regarded as the juvenile form of the Void Devouring Flame. Its power is far beyond the reach of the ordinary Earth Fire in the hands of the Soul Palace Master.

However, although this kind of earth fire is also quite powerful, if its mother body is severely damaged, the many sub-fires connected to it will still automatically dissipate, turn into original power, and merge into the mother body.

This kind of thing is quite secretive. Even Yao Lao and Xiao Yan have never heard of it. Therefore, he could only recognize that the strange fire in Hunxuzi's hand was just a kind of seed fire. He did not recognize that this was the boss among the seed fires, the Earth Seed Fire.

However, even if he recognized it, he would not be too moved. The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in his body had also mutated after fusing with many strange fires. Not to mention that these Void Devouring Flames were just seed fires, even if the real Void Devouring Flames descended, Xiao Yan would not be too afraid.

"If you want to swallow our strange fire, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

Elder Wanhuo snorted coldly, and then waved his sleeves, and a strong wind with a light black color suddenly roared out from his sleeves. These strong winds were squirming rapidly in the air, but if you look carefully, you will see that I found that this was not a strong wind, but a strange flame!

"Nine Nether Wind Flame." Xiao Yan looked at the wild wind and flame summoned by Elder Wanhuo with a little surprise. This was not the first time he had seen the Nine Nether Wind Flame. He remembered that when he met Yao Xingji, he was carrying this kind of strange fire. But looking at its current appearance, it seemed that this strange fire had been taken back again.

"Haha, old man Wanhuo, your Nine Nether Wind Flame is becoming more and more proficient."

Seeing Elder Wanhuo summon the strange fire, the old man Shennong also laughed loudly, tapped the air lightly with the herbal cane in his hand, and said with a smile: "In this case, then I will also show my ugliness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the medicinal stick in his hand suddenly ignited without fire. A wisp of green flame like liquid slowly rose up, and finally swelled up with the wind. In the sea of ​​green liquid fire, layers of mist rose up, and in the rising mist, countless kinds of exotic medicinal herbs slowly grew up, diffusing a moving breath of life.

"Is this the Flame of Living Beings, which ranks fifth on the Strange Fire List?"

Looking at the vibrant vitality that was spreading, a strange look flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes.

The Flame of Living Beings ranks fifth on the list of strange fires. This kind of strange fire is extremely strange, because most strange fires, although in different forms, are filled with destructive power after all. However, the Flame of Living Beings does not show strong destructive power. It is famous for the life force that it is filled with.

It is said that this kind of strange fire will spread, and as long as the seeds of medicinal materials are thrown into it, the seeds will germinate and grow quickly. In other words, with this kind of strange fire, you basically don’t have to worry about searching for medicinal materials. As long as you have enough seeds, you can get the medicinal materials you want continuously. It is truly magical.

Moreover, this flame of life is also known as the fire of longevity. Those who obtain it will have a lifespan that is no less than those magical beasts that are famous for their longevity. The only drawback is that this fire is not good at fighting, and its increase in combat power is not very strong.

Xiao Yan had also heard of the name of the Flame of Life, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. The fascinating life force made people feel relaxed and happy just by smelling it.

Hunxuzi's eyes were fixed on the Flame of Life in old man Shennong's hand. A hint of greed flashed across his eyes. In this world, all things have an end to their lifespan. If one could obtain the Flame of Life, he would be able to greatly extend his lifespan. This temptation was extremely strong even for a person like him.

"It's actually the Flame of Life, old Shennong, you are so lucky." The old man Wanhuo was envious and smiled. If the Flame of Life takes shape, it will be very intelligent. It will not appear in the form of fire, but will change into various medicinal herbs and then quietly take root in the soil. Sometimes, even if you walk by it, you can't recognize it. Only those who have great opportunities can find it from the ground by chance.

"Haha, it's just luck. I got it accidentally while searching for medicinal herbs." Old man Shennong stroked his beard and said with a smile. For someone like him who didn't like fighting with others, being able to obtain this kind of strange fire was truly the happiest thing.

"I heard that young friend Xiao Yan once subdued the legendary Pure Lotus Demon Fire. I wonder if this is true or not?" Old man Shennong's gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Yan, who was looking at the green sea of ​​fire above his head with a strange expression not far away, and said with a smile.

"Haha, just like my predecessor, it's just luck."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, flames flashed on his shoulders, and Xiao Yi flashed out. Then he glanced at the other three balls of strange fire in the sky with a hint of disdain. Here, only it could appear in this form.

"This is... the spirit of strange fire?!"

Seeing Xiao Yi on Xiao Yan's shoulder, the expressions of several people in the sky suddenly changed slightly, and then their eyes became unusually solemn. They could feel a kind of intelligence from Xiao Yi that was no less than that of humans.

As people who are almost at the top of the alchemy world in the Douqi Continent, they naturally understand what a strange fire spirit symbolizes to an alchemist. The legendary strange fire physique will allow the strange fire to reach the most perfect level in its hands.

That level is incomparable even for those of them whose soul power has reached the great perfection of the heavenly realm!
Although the strange fire in their hands was very good, it was far from the level of condensing the spirit of the strange fire.

"My Soul Clan has been planning to obtain the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire for so many years, but we never expected that it would end up in the hands of this brat. But it doesn't matter, we will get these things back sooner or later." Hunxuzi's eyes flickered, and a chill surged in his eyes.

“Young friend Xiao Yan is truly blessed. I once tried to subdue the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but was almost trapped in the demonic fire’s space.” Old man Shennong stroked his beard and sighed with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled. Having experienced the Demon Fire Space, he naturally understood how difficult it was to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. If he did not have the residual image of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint in his possession, he would have had no choice but to escape early. Although the old man Shennong's alchemy skills were extraordinary, he could not rely on any alchemy skills to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

"If the four of you are fully prepared, then please start refining the elixir."

Yao Dan, who was in the first place, withdrew his envious gaze from Xiao Yi and said loudly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. He flicked his finger slightly, and a thumb-sized black and white fire cauldron flew out, swelling in the wind.

Then, amidst those envious gazes, Xiao Yi opened his mouth and fire dragons circled around the fire cauldron. The low dragon roars resounded as if they were real. In an instant, the temperature between heaven and earth rose rapidly.

This Fire Cauldron was borrowed by Xiao Yan from Tong Rui before he came. Although there were only four Fire Cauldrons forged by Tong Rui himself using various ores from the heavens, their uniqueness and usefulness in refining medicine were unmatched by any other Dan Ding on the Heavenly Cauldron List.

As Xiao Yan's Fire Cauldron rose, the other three also retreated a distance, each dividing the vast sky into four areas.

Hunxuzi's figure flashed and appeared on the black fire cauldron. Then he sat cross-legged and waved his sleeves. Countless medicinal materials flew out from his sleeves. For a moment, a strong medicinal fragrance , immediately filled the world.

When each of them was taking action, Elder Wanhuo in the distance also used Nine Nether Wind Flames to condense a fire cauldron. At their level, the medicine cauldron was almost dispensable to them, because they could easily Can use strange fire to condense into the best quality medicine cauldron.

Among the four, the one with the most powerful momentum was Elder Shennong. Above his head, a green sea of ​​flames like liquid spread rapidly, and he sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​fire. With his sleeves waving, many fragrant medicinal seeds flew out and finally fell into the sea of ​​fire. Then, those seeds quickly sprouted in the midst of countless shocked gazes, and then grew rapidly in the blazing flames.
Old man Shennong looked at these rapidly growing medicinal herbs with a smile. He snapped his fingers, and the sea of ​​fire began to ripple. Then it quickly condensed into drops of extremely pure green liquid. In the liquid, one could faintly see traces of flames rising, and a rich breath of life permeated from it.

The green liquids were suspended above the heads of many medicinal herbs, and then quietly slid down. As the flames contaminated the herbs, they grew at a rapid rate as if they had taken a catalyst. In just a dozen minutes, each seed turned into a variety of rare medicinal herbs. For a moment, in the green sea of ​​fire, many fresh medicinal herbs rose up and moved joyfully.

"As expected, it is the Flame of Living Beings"

Xiao Yan, who was far away, could not help but exclaim in admiration when he saw this magical scene. This Flame of Life was the strange fire that alchemists dreamed of except for its weak combat power. This method of accelerating the growth of medicinal materials would be a real artifact if it fell into the hands of Danta or the Medicine Clan. Although he knew in his heart that the cost of accelerating the growth of medicinal materials would be extremely huge for the caster, the formation of many medicinal materials would take at least a hundred years, and this consumption was obviously not worth mentioning compared with that long time.

After praising for a while, Xiao Yan regained his mind and looked at the huge pink fire cauldron in front of him. With a wave of his hand, densely packed medicinal herbs flew out from his storage ring and finally coiled around the fire cauldron. There were probably thousands of kinds of medicinal herbs. Such a number made many alchemists stunned. Compared with the alchemy skills of the four of them, the previous ones, even the nine-colored pill thunder attracted by Yao Tian, ​​were like a dwarf compared to a giant.

"Go."

Summoning the herbs, Xiao Yan moved his shoulders, and Xiao Yi flew out, then rushed into the fire cauldron. Suddenly, a crack appeared on the fire cauldron, and the suction force surged, swallowing up all the thousands of herbs floating in the sky. Then, flames suddenly rose inside the fire cauldron.
"He actually wants to refine so many medicinal materials at the same time?"

Seeing this scene, even the elders of the Medicine Clan couldn't help but twitch their faces. Thousands of medicinal materials, each of which required completely different refining ingredients, were thrown into the fire cauldron like this. Is it really possible?

Yao Lao, who was sitting in the VIP seat, looked at Xiao Yan with a smile on his face. He had strong confidence in the latter. Xiao Yan's attainments in alchemy had already surpassed his teacher.
"How on earth did this guy practice?"

"He's not much older than us, but this guy is qualified to compete with Elder Wanhuo."

In the square, many young people of the Medicine Clan gathered together. However, these arrogant young people of the Medicine Clan were now looking at the sky with a look of shock. Even Yao Tian, ​​who had previously obtained the best ranking in the Pharmacopoeia, had a depressed look on his face. Although he was very unwilling in his heart, the huge gap between him and Xiao Yan was impossible to ignore even if he wanted to.

The competition is still going on
