Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 302 The Soul Clan Exposed!

This prelude to the pharmacopoeia lasted for several days before gradually coming to an end.

Fortunately, none of the people here are ordinary people. For several days, many of them haven't even moved an inch.

As the prelude to the pharmacopoeia came to an end, many people slowly opened their eyes and looked at the young people among the medicine clan, nodding slightly in response.

The Medicine Clan truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient race with alchemy as its foundation. Many young people in the Medicine Clan possess extremely high talent, and if they have the right opportunities in the future, they will surely be able to secure a place in the world of alchemy.

With such excellent new blood, the Medicine Clan is able to continue to thrive.

Of course, they also knew that this talent was not a gift from heaven, but was caused by the bloodline flowing in their bodies. Once the Medicine Emperor's Dou Di bloodline was exhausted, the Medicine Clan would become no different from ordinary humans, just like the Xiao Clan back then.

However, this period of time will obviously be extremely long.

But it's hard to say.

If this is not handled properly today, this glorious medicine clan may perish a thousand years ahead of schedule!

The moment the younger generation of the Medicine Clan finished their tests, the atmosphere in the square didn't quiet down; instead, it suddenly became incredibly heated. Almost scalding gazes swept across the square, finally settling on the stone chairs. They understood that the highlight of the Medicine Censorship was these prominent figures standing at the pinnacle of the alchemy world…

"Heh, it's finally begun..."

Yao Chen slowly opened his eyes at this moment, feeling the sudden increase in temperature in the area, and smiled, "Sect Master, shall we make a move?"

"After looking at it for a few days, I'm itching to try it myself." Lin Ran smiled calmly and said casually, but his gaze was focused on the medicinal pills. Seeing that the pills nodded slightly to him, Lin Ran's lips also turned up, and he felt a little more confident.

Lin Ran and Yao Dan's exchange was extremely discreet and not seen by outsiders. Therefore, Yao Chen continued to speak to himself: "If the sect leader makes a move, the final showdown, besides you, should involve Hun Xuzi, Elder Shennong, and Elder Wanhuo."

"These three are no pushovers. In terms of seniority and alchemy skills, even I am far inferior."

"Heh, what do I have to fear?"

As Lin Ran and Yao Chen chatted and laughed, Yao Dan, who was sitting at the head of the table, slowly rose to his feet.

At this moment, all eyes in the hall were on him.

"Hehe, now that the appetizers are over, it's time for the main event. I understand what you all are thinking..."

Facing the gazes of the audience, Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, "In this Pharmacopoeia Conference, a total of four people will compete. And these four, even if I don't say much, you should all know them. The final winner will take the title of the continent's number one alchemist. I think that no one will object to the person who wins here and obtains this title..."

"Please enter, gentlemen."

"Hehe, Patriarch Yaodan is quite straightforward. I have long heard that the Pharmacopoeia is the gathering of the most outstanding alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. Today, I have come here to ask for your guidance! My Soul Clan is somewhat interested in the title of the number one alchemist on the continent, so I would like to take it back."

As soon as Yao Dan finished speaking, Hun Xuzi appeared in mid-air like a ghost, his calm laughter carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Hmph, the Medicine Clan is a clan that refines medicine. Perhaps it's better for this title to remain with the Medicine Clan!"

Elder Wanhuo snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he also appeared in mid-air, staring at Hunxuzi without backing down.

As soon as Elder Wanhuo appeared, cheers erupted from all around. This was the Medicine Clan's home ground, and they were naturally unhappy to see the Soul Clan take away this prestigious title that they held for so long.

"Although I have no great desire for such empty titles, it would be a great disgrace for us alchemists if the title of the number one alchemist on the continent were to fall on your head."

The old man Shennong stood with his feet on the void, and as he shook his cane, which looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs, the jade bottle on it collided and made a crisp sound.

He was also suspended in the sky, his tone indifferent.

However, it is clear that they dislike Hun Xuzi very much, after all, the reputation of the Soul Clan among alchemists is really too bad.

"Elder Wanhuo, Hunxuzi, and Shennong Laoren—these three are undoubtedly giants in the world of alchemy today. This contest is sure to be a spectacle!"

The plaza erupted in commotion as people gazed at the three figures in the sky. Countless alchemists' eyes burned with fervor, for the level these three had reached was the very thing they had pursued their entire lives!

Hun Xuzi glanced at Elder Wanhuo and Elder Shennong, smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and displayed the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Regardless of his character, Hun Xuzi's mastery of alchemy is indeed awe-inspiring.

Of course, the shoe print on his face was also removed by his fighting spirit.

"Three people have already appeared, so who is the last one?"

Countless gazes swept over the three of them, then suddenly shifted all at once, finally settling on Lin Ran sitting on the stone chair.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Lin Ran slowly rose with a smile on his face. His body trembled, and afterimages flashed. His figure appeared in the sky, and a clear laugh echoed outwards.

"I have long heard that Hun Xuzi stole techniques from the Pill Tower, even going so far as to betray his master and ancestors. Now that the Pill Tower is under the jurisdiction of my Holy Sect, how can I, Lin Ran, as the master of the Holy Sect, stand idly by?"

Hearing Lin Ran's voice, many people felt ashamed.

Lin Ran's words were not only undisguised, but also included direct insults.

Adding to this the fact that they directly trampled on Hun Xuzi earlier, it seems that the Holy Sect has truly gone head-to-head with the Soul Clan!

"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted..."

Hun Xuzi smiled coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent: "Don't think that just because you have the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, you can act arrogantly in front of me. When it comes to alchemy, you're still far from being a match!"

"What? The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking. I didn't rely on it to gain fame, so why would I rely on that Void Devouring Flame sub-flame within your body?"

Lin Ran sneered, "I never use sub-fire when refining pills. You use sub-fire to refine pills, no wonder you have a terrible reputation in the alchemist world. You use sub-fire to refine pills, I don't think you're even qualified to participate in this pharmacopoeia!"

"asshole!"

Hun Xuzi's face stiffened. His proud Void Devouring Flame was ridiculed by Lin Ran, and he was immediately enraged. Without hesitation, as his Seven Star Dou Sheng cultivation surged within him, he waved his sleeve, and black flames burst forth from his body in an overwhelming manner.

The next moment, the pitch-black flames condensed in the sky in front of them into a huge black fire cauldron that was a hundred feet long. A strange devouring power emanated from the fire cauldron.

"Even if my Void Devouring Flame is a minor flame, it is still a thousand times more powerful than those so-called strange flames!"

"Show me your strange fires, and see if I'll use my 'sub-fire' to devour them!"

Hun Xuzi's icy voice echoed across the sky.

He knew that Lin Ran was aware that the Soul Clan possessed the Void Devouring Flame. Back then, there was a sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame within Soul Extinction's body, which was defeated in its clash with Lin Ran.

However, the flame in his hand is not the same as the one in Hun Miesheng's hand.

The Void Devouring Flame is extremely mysterious, and only a very few people can know about it. Even the sub-flames of the Void Devouring Flame are divided into different levels.

Above those many ordinary sub-flames, there are two unique sub-flames, known as Heavenly Pool Sub-flames, and the Void Devouring Flame in his hand is one of them!

This so-called pool fire, in a certain sense, can be considered a nascent form of the Void Devouring Flame. Its power is far beyond that of the ordinary sub-fire in the hands of the Soul Palace Master!

"If you want to devour our strange fire, we'll see if you have the ability."

Elder Wanhuo let out a cold snort, then waved his sleeve, and a gust of light black wind suddenly roared out from his sleeve.

These gales were rapidly writhing in mid-air, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were not gales at all, but rather a peculiar flame!

"Nine Netherworld Wind Flame..."

Lin Ran murmured softly, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

Nine Nether Wind Flame, ranked tenth on the Strange Flame Ranking!

Born in the endless abyss of an extremely yin land, where the yin winds blow incessantly year-round, this strange fire took shape in the place where the winds are most intense.

A strange wind emanates from this fire, and when this wind reaches the ears, it causes a strange sense of unease. This strange sound can cause emotional fluctuations, and it is extremely powerful.

"Hehe, old man Wanhuo, your Nine Nether Wind Flame technique is becoming more and more refined."

Seeing Elder Wanhuo summon the strange fire, the old man Shennong laughed loudly, lightly tapping the void with his herbal cane, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then this old man will also make a fool of himself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the medicinal herb cane in his hand suddenly ignited without fire, and a wisp of green flame, as if it were liquid, slowly rose up.

In the blink of an eye, the flames swelled against the wind, and amidst the green liquid sea of ​​fire, layers of mist rose up. In the rising mist, countless strange medicinal herbs slowly grew, exuding a moving aura of life.

"The Flame of Life..."

Looking at the vibrant life spreading everywhere, even Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement.

The Flame of Life, ranked fifth on the list of extraordinary flames!

This kind of strange fire is extremely peculiar, because although most strange fires have different forms, they are all filled with destructive power.

However, this Flame of Life does not exhibit powerful destructive force; what makes it famous is the life force that permeates it.

It is said that this strange fire spreads out, and if medicinal seeds are put into it, they will quickly germinate and grow.

In other words, with this kind of strange fire, there's basically no need to worry about searching for medicinal herbs. As long as you have enough seeds, you can continuously obtain the medicinal herbs you want, which is truly amazing.

Moreover, this Flame of Life is also known as the Flame of Longevity. Those who obtain it will have a lifespan comparable to that of magical beasts famous for their longevity. However, its only drawback is that this flame is not good at combat and does not significantly enhance combat power.

The moment the Flame of Life appeared, it immediately attracted countless eyes, including Soul Void Child.

In this world, everything has a lifespan. If one could obtain the Flame of Life, one could greatly extend one's lifespan. This temptation was extremely strong, even for someone like him.

"It's actually the Flame of Life! Old Shennong, you're quite fortunate." The old man of ten thousand flames said with a hint of envy.

If this Flame of Life were to take shape, it would possess an exceptionally high level of intelligence. Normally, it would not appear in the form of fire, but would transform into various medicinal herbs and then quietly take root in the soil.

Sometimes, even if you walk right past it, you won't be able to recognize it. Only those with great fortune can find it by chance.

"Heh, just a fluke, an accidental find during a search for medicinal herbs."

The old man Shennong stroked his beard and said with a smile that obtaining such a strange fire was the most joyful thing for someone like him who did not like to fight with others.

"I heard that Sect Master Lin once subdued the legendary Pure Lotus Demon Flame and even fused it with his own original strange flame, transforming it into a completely new strange flame?"

Shennong the Elder's gaze suddenly shifted to Lin Ran, who was looking at the green sea of ​​fire above his head with a strange expression not far away, and he smiled.

"Heh, just lucky."

Lin Ran smiled calmly, calling himself a lucky guy, and with a slight lift of his hand, a wisp of burning flames shot out from his palm.

As soon as this fire appeared, the three strange flames that were originally burning fiercely withered as if they had seen something terrifying, and the people in the sky also looked extremely solemn.

They could clearly feel the power of that strange fire. The fusion of multiple strange fires, combined with Lin Ran's cultivation as a seven-star Dou Sheng, meant that even an eight-star Dou Sheng could probably be defeated by Lin Ran!

"I was so busy with clan affairs that I almost forgot about such an important event as the Pharmacopoeia. I'm sorry we're late with the medicine pills, you won't blame me, will you?"

"What a strange fire! There's even a fused strange fire. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Just as the four of them revealed their strange fire, accompanied by hearty laughter, the sky suddenly tore open with two slits, and then several figures emerged from the slits.

The leader of the spatial rift on the left was dressed in a crimson robe, with a rugged appearance and two crimson eyebrows that looked like two burning flames. What was even more surprising was that his eyes were also completely crimson, looking as if they were inlaid with two fiery gems. When he looked at someone, even the air felt warmer.

The leader of the spatial rift on the right was shirtless, with slightly dark skin and extremely exaggerated muscles. His body was like an iron tower, as if a giant dragon was swimming under his skin. A terrifying sense of power spread out, making the heels of those who approached him tremble.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Hun Xuzi's pupils contracted, Lin Ran's lips curled up, and everyone present was somewhat stunned.

Only Yao Dan laughed heartily.

"Brother Lei Ying, Brother Yan Jin, the presence of both of you at today's Pharmacopoeia ceremony truly makes it a grand occasion!"
