People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

As the dark golden fire in Xiao Ling's palm rose into the air, the high temperature seemed to be able to melt everything. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted and deformed in this heat, as if it would be burned to pieces at any time.

The energy of heaven and earth continuously gathered under the devouring of this flame, supplying the strange fire to continue burning, making its power increasingly stronger.

At the same time, a unique flame aura spread from the dark gold fire. The aura carried an air of supremacy, as if declaring its supremacy.

Since the alchemy stone platform where Xiao Ling was located was the most conspicuous, many alchemists and spectators had already gathered around it, almost sealing off the area.

At the moment when this breath spread, the surrounding alchemists found that the flames in their furnaces seemed to feel the pressure from the superiors, and they made "puff" sounds and became extremely unstable.

Immediately, the aura of the alchemy fires began to wilte rapidly. Those originally vigorous flames seemed to have encountered an irresistible force. Regardless of their quality, they all drooped down at the same time, as if paying tribute to the dark golden fire in Xiao Ling's hand.

This scene was just like what was described in the ancient legend, "Strange fire appears, all fires subdue each other". Everyone present could not help but be moved and witnessed this shocking scene.

"Could this be... a strange fire?"

For a moment, the eyes of the entire conference hall were like iron filings attracted by a magnet, all focused on Xiao Ling and the jumping dark gold strange flame in his palm.

In the audience, exclamations rose and fell like waves, each one shocking to the heart.

Many contestants couldn't help but stop refining medicine, turned their heads, and looked through the crowd to the eye-catching focus.

The dark golden strange flame in Xiao Ling's palm suddenly shone brightly, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, and suddenly flashed and transformed into a slender and majestic fire dragon.

It surrounded Xiao Ling and hovered in the air. The dragon scales sparkled brightly in the firelight, as if every piece was burning with endless heat and power.

All the surrounding flames were bowing their heads towards the fire dragon, as if they were worshipping the Fire Emperor, devoutly and respectfully.

And Xiao Ling stood proudly in the center, accepting the worship of countless flames, which made people feel awe, as if they were witnessing the advent of a fire god, ruling over all flames and commanding all fires in the world.

When everyone witnessed this shocking scene, their eyes were all filled with an unconcealable gleam of envy.

That ball of strange fire is the treasure that many alchemists dream of and yearn for day and night!
Every alchemist has a desire in his heart, and that is to have a strange fire of his own, so as to achieve an extraordinary alchemy career with his unparalleled alchemy ability.

However, the rarity and difficulty of taming the strange fire meant that it could only be possessed by a few lucky people. The alchemists present knew that most of them might never be able to touch such an existence in their entire lives...

On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi and the other two witnessed this scene, and an inexplicable emotion surged in their hearts.

"Tsk tsk, the strange fire appeared in the world, and all the fires submitted. This scene is rare in my life. Apart from the grand occasion of this alchemy meeting, I am afraid there will be no other occasion to see such a spectacular scene."

Tian Leizi sighed softly, his eyes closely following the figure of the fire dragon, and he couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
"This Xiao Ling has been the center of attention at this alchemy conference. His every move has attracted everyone's attention."

"And have you noticed that this little fellow's strange fire seems to have a different flavor compared to the last time we met. It's quite novel."

Xuan Yi laughed softly, with an interesting gleam in his eyes.

"I'm sure this kid must be hiding many unknown secrets."

"Indeed." Xuan Kongzi gently stroked his graying beard, his eyes revealing a trace of deep thought.
"Look, the color of his flame is deeper and darker than the last time we saw it. There doesn't seem to be a record of a strange fire of this form on the Strange Fire List, but this is undoubtedly a real flame with the power of a strange fire."

He smiled slightly and continued, "Moreover, I can vaguely feel that the power of the strange fire controlled by this little fellow Xiao Ling is definitely not inferior to the Three Thousand Flames in the star field, and even seems to be superior in some aspects."

"It seems that we are really looking forward to this little guy's next performance." Xuan Yi nodded gently, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were shining with anticipation.
"He has been so confident and flamboyant since the beginning. It is obvious that he is determined to win this alchemy meeting."

She paused for a moment, looked around the lively meeting place, and continued,

“I don’t know whether the record of the highest quality elixir refined at this alchemy conference will be broken by this little fellow. If this is true, it will undoubtedly become a good story in the history of the alchemy conference…”

"I really didn't expect that you would have such a strong interest in a younger person. This is the first time I've seen this in all these years." Tian Lei Zi smiled, with a bit of surprise and astonishment in his tone.

Xuan Yi glanced at Tian Lei Zi with a hint of disapproval in his eyes, but he did not say anything to refute.

While Xiao Ling was concentrating on refining the medicine, she could vaguely catch some familiar outlines on the young figure.

However, Xiao Ling was only Xiao Ling after all, and that old friend and she were destined to meet but not to be together...

……

After briefly demonstrating the power of the strange fire and feeling the awe-inspiring gazes around him, Xiao Ling felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

He smiled gently, with a hint of pride and confidence in his smile.

Then, he waved his sleeves, and the dark golden flame dragon hovering around him, as if obeying the call of its master, slowly circled, and finally turned into a beam of fire and drilled into the Lingcui Ding in front of Xiao Ling.

With the integration of the strange fire, the temperature of the medicine cauldron, which was originally a little cold, quickly rose under the burning of the flame.

A soft red glow gradually appeared on the surface of the Lingcui Ding, as if it had been bathed and purified by fire, and the temperature inside it also slowly rose.

In a moment, the heat will reach the optimal critical point required for refining the elixir, laying the perfect foundation for the subsequent refining process.

As Xiao Ling's strange fire successfully entered the medicine cauldron, the pressure of the strange fire that had previously spread inadvertently gradually converged under Xiao Ling's intentional control, as if it was sucked back into the small cauldron by an invisible force.

The alchemists around all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, and their previously tense nerves finally relaxed.

After all, if the pressure from the strange fire continued to exist, their process of refining pills would undoubtedly be greatly affected.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling withdrew his magical powers in time. Otherwise, they would have to consider leaving the medicine refining location close to Xiao Ling to avoid unnecessary interference when refining the pills.

At the same time, Xiao Ling gently stroked the ring on his finger, and saw streams of light, like a dream, coming out of the ring one after another.

These streams of light drew graceful arcs in the air, and finally, supported by Xiao Ling's precise soul power, quietly floated around him.

Looking closely, among these streams of light, they are naturally the various rare medicinal materials needed to refine the "Reincarnation Soul-shaping Pill".

The number is staggering, and a rough count shows that there are nearly a thousand rare medicinal herbs shining in the air.

The medicinal materials emit a brilliant light, and the fragrant aroma drifts out. Just one glance is enough to tell that the medicinal materials are of extraordinary quality.

Even ordinary people who know nothing about alchemy can easily notice the huge difference between the two by comparing the large number of medicinal herbs displayed by Xiao Ling when refining medicine with the number of medicinal herbs used by other alchemists.

The medicinal herbs that other alchemists have are only a few dozen or a hundred, but Xiao Ling has several times or even ten times as many as theirs.

This scene undoubtedly demonstrated the high quality of the pill Xiao Ling refined this time. The difficulty and effort behind it were enough to make people amazed.

Among the crowd of people watching the game, there were many knowledgeable experts. Their eyes passed through the crowd and focused on the ocean of medicinal herbs gathered around Xiao Ling.

Among them, a black and white twin lotus flowers are particularly eye-catching. They shine like the brightest stars in the night sky.

When these knowledgeable people recognized the extraordinary origin of this herb, they were shocked beyond words. Their eyes flashed with incredible light, as if they had seen some incredible miracle. "If my eyesight is not wrong, it should be the legendary Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus." On the high platform, Tian Leizi's eyes were solemn, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

"Looking at this scene, could it be that this little fellow is going to use the Twin Lotuses of Life and Death to refine the elixir at the same time? Doesn't Xiao Ling know that the Twin Lotuses of Life and Death are like the two poles of Yin and Yang, and have always been regarded as taboo objects that cannot coexist?"

Tian Lei Zi's brows were furrowed, the doubts in his heart were like a cloud of fog, he couldn't help but blurt out, with a bit of shock and confusion in his voice.

"The birth of the Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus is a legend in the world of alchemy, as the conditions are so harsh and the number is so rare. I was lucky enough to see it when I was young, and it was a rare opportunity. I didn't expect that today would be the second time I saw its true appearance." Xuan Yi shook his head slightly, his tone revealing memories of the past and surprise at the scene before him.
"However, I think Xiao Ling should be well aware of the most basic pharmacological knowledge that the Twin Lotuses of Life and Death cannot coexist. Perhaps he has a unique insight or has mastered a special skill that can reconcile the conflicting special properties of the Twin Lotuses of Life and Death."

"Haha, this is a difficult problem that no one in history has ever been able to solve," Xuan Kong said with a hint of ease.

"It seems that this little guy is planning to step into the uninhabited land and create a new world. Such a feat is really exciting."

He paused slightly and looked at Xiao Ling again, seeming to be very interested in what was about to happen.

"Then, let's wait and see how this young man will solve this eternal puzzle and whether he will bring us unprecedented surprises."

After Xuan Kong finished speaking, Tian Lei Zi and Xuan Yi stopped talking. All eyes were focused on Xiao Ling, expecting the birth of a miracle of alchemy...

……

Seeing that Xiao Ling was about to start refining the elixir, Xiao Diao instantly turned into a dazzling stream of light, jumped out of the Bone Inflammation Ring, and landed lightly on Xiao Ling's shoulder.

"Xiao Ling, my fate is in your hands. This time, you must try your best." There was an imperceptible tremor in the little mink's voice, and it seemed that it was even more nervous than Xiao Ling who was about to refine the medicine.

After all, this is not just a matter of a furnace of pills, but also about whether it can be reborn and seize this only chance of resurrection.

"Don't worry about my work. This time, I will definitely succeed in making the elixir." Xiao Ling smiled gently, his tone revealing unquestionable confidence, "Since you are my little brother, as your big brother, I will naturally do my best to escort you."

After saying that, Xiao Ling just raised his sleeves lightly, and the medicinal materials that had been prepared long ago flew into the medicine cauldron in an orderly manner as if they were obeying the call.

As the herbs were put into the medicine cauldron, the dark golden strange fire instantly enveloped them. The terrifying high temperature caused the herbs to wither quickly, but at this moment, Xiao Ling demonstrated his powerful soul control.

In just over ten minutes, several herbs were transformed into piles of pure medicinal powder under his precise refining.

As Xiao Ling's mind moved slightly, these medicinal powders gently floated in a corner of the medicine cauldron, like stars, quietly waiting for the next step of fusion...

Xiao Ling's expression remained calm as water, without any fluctuation.

His palms were like conducting a carefully choreographed dance. As he waved his hands continuously, the herbs flew into the medicine cauldron one by one in an orderly manner.

Although there were many types of medicinal materials and huge quantities, under Xiao Ling's control, it was as if they were deployed for an array, well organized and without any chaos.

Now, Xiao Ling's soul power has climbed to the peak of the spiritual realm. In addition, he has practiced the Dayan Jue, so he seems to be at ease in controlling and refining medicinal materials.

His soul power was like a delicate and flexible silk thread, accurately wrapping around each herb, guiding them to complete a perfect transformation under the blazing heat of the strange fire.

If Xiao Ling had not set extremely high standards for himself, insisting that every step of refining the pill must be done with perfection, not allowing any mistakes, and striving to successfully refine the pill in one go, his refining speed would undoubtedly be several times faster than it is now.

Seeing that Xiao Ling had already started his refining process, every step seemed so orderly. Xiao Diao silently remembered Xiao Ling's deep friendship in his heart and stopped disturbing him.

It leaped lightly and landed from a high place onto the solid stone platform.

Afterwards, the little mink began to get busy around the stone platform. Its movements were light and skillful. It sometimes scribbled and sometimes wrote, as if it was drawing a complex and mysterious pattern.

The little mink was not doing nothing on this trip. It naturally had an important task, which was to arrange the formation in advance to resist the invasion of the nine-colored pill thunder that would be attracted when the pill was completed.

Such an arrangement was obviously well thought out.

If Xiao Ling was directly asked to send out a puppet that could withstand the nine-colored pill thunder, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to revealing Xiao Ling's identity to the Soul Palace, implying that those people from the Soul Palace who died in the pill world were the work of Xiao Ling.

Although the energy contained in the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder is extremely vast and enough to significantly improve the quality of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, considering the combat power that Xiao Ling currently possesses, these additional improvements are not indispensable.

After weighing the tiny advantages and potential risks, Xiao Ling still prefers to choose a safer path.

For him, stability and security are more important than temporary interests.

Just as the two were busy with their own things, the stone platform fell into a deep silence again.

The contestants around who were participating in the final round of the alchemy competition were now concentrating on the process of refining their own medicine.

For a moment, the originally noisy square seemed to be shrouded in a certain atmosphere, becoming quiet and solemn...

At the edge of the competition square, the excited spectators gradually lowered their voices and eventually stopped talking to those around them.

In the solemn silence, countless eyes, as if drawn by an invisible force, were focused on the stone platform suspended in the sky.

On the stage, the busy figures of the contestants were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight...

They are all waiting quietly, waiting for the day of the final showdown...

That day will be the climax of the Dan Club! On that day, the champion of the Dan Club will stand out!

Although the waiting process is long and monotonous, it is worth it for those spectators who are eager to witness the most glorious moment of their lives.

Their eyes were filled with anticipation for the upcoming wonderful moment, a yearning for the highest realm of alchemy skills, and an infinite longing for the unknown results...

……

Refining pills is undoubtedly an extremely time-consuming task, especially for those high-grade pills. The refining process often takes a long time, and it is common to take ten days or half a month...

Everyone present was aware of this situation.

Therefore, they did not seem anxious because of the long wait.

Most of the people who can come to Saint Dan City to watch the game have certain strength and knowledge, so the necessary patience is naturally indispensable to them.

Under the interweaving of countless pairs of expectant gazes, time seemed to turn into a wisp of smoke, passing away silently.

As everyone was concentrating their attention, five days passed by in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, the refining activities on the stone platform in the sky were generally relatively calm. However, occasionally there would be a few low roars that broke the silence. It was an accident during the refining process, causing the sound of the furnace exploding to echo over the square.
