In front of Su Chen, a transparent fireball was burning fiercely.
This flame was extremely strange. When it burned, its texture was like a wriggling transparent crystal. The light and heat it released were not intense, but it contained extremely terrifying energy fluctuations. Not only that, but this transparent flame also contained a large number of divine runes.
These divine runes were spinning wildly at high speed. Su Chen threw medicinal herbs directly into the flame without even looking at them. These medicinal herbs were instantly crushed into powder by the divine runes. However, under the burning of the transparent flame, they quickly melted into a pool of medicinal liquid.
The medicinal liquid continued to converge and fuse as if it had been refined thousands of times. In the blink of an eye, it had condensed into a small and exquisite pill.
At this time, Si Nan was still heating up his alchemy furnace. He had not even sorted out the medicinal herbs in his hands.
The difference in efficiency was obvious. There was no suspense at all.
It was no wonder that everyone was so surprised. After all, no one had seen this kind of alchemy method. Su Chen's method could be said to be miraculous. Just based on this method alone, it was definitely not something that a second-rate alchemist could do.
Could it be that Su Chen was not only a Divine Talisman Master, but also a top Divine Alchemist?
What kind of monster was this?
Everyone said that the Spiritual Mountain Sect was a concentration camp of monsters in the Immortal Cultivation World. There were peerless geniuses everywhere. Geniuses that were hard to come by in a thousand years were not even qualified to join the Spiritual Mountain Sect. If they were not geniuses that were hard to come by in ten thousand years, they would be embarrassed to greet others when walking in the Spiritual Mountain Sect.
Among the Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples present, which one of them was not a genius expert with great opportunity, great comprehension, and great aptitude?
However, when they saw Su Chen, they had to admit that compared to him, there was still a big gap.
They did not dare to be called a genius.
"Hmph …"
Si Nan could not help but snort coldly. "Alchemy is not child's play. Who doesn't know fancy alchemy? Whether or not you can refine high-quality pills is the key."
"It's done."
Su Chen suddenly spoke. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the transparent flame and took out a golden pill.
The moment the golden pill was born, the heavens and earth began to tremble. Auspicious clouds appeared, and strange phenomena occurred. At the same time, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and a shocking thunderbolt fell from the sky, directly striking the golden pill.
The Golden Core swayed slightly and withstood the bombardment of the Heavenly Lightning. The surface of the Golden Core began to change as a series of auspicious cloud-like patterns began to appear.
"What's going on with this pill? It actually triggered a lightning tribulation?"
"Inconceivable. I've heard that when the highest grade of medicinal pill is born, it is possible for it to trigger a lightning tribulation. However, this is only a legend. I've never seen it with my own eyes."
"So many Pill Veins … One, two, three, four, five, six, seven … This is a Tier 7 Divine Pill, and it's the best Tier 7 Divine Pill. Its medicinal effect is equivalent to a Tier 8 Divine Pill … No, it's even comparable to a Tier 9 Divine Pill!"
"How is this possible? Among the more than 300 Divine Herbs, there is not a single Tier 7 medicinal herb. The highest grade is only Tier 5. How did Elder Su refine a Tier 7 Divine Pill with a Tier 5 Divine Herb?"
"It's incredible. I admit that I underestimated Elder Su. I estimate that Elder Su's alchemy realm is not lower than Tier 8. It's even possible that he's in the Tier 9 Realm, just like Elder Mu Zirui!"
"Is … is he still human?"
Hearing the discussions around the arena, Si Nan's face darkened. The initial ridicule toward Su Chen had turned into admiration. He had no place to put the medicinal herbs in his hands. He looked at the shining golden pill in front of Su Chen. With his eyes, he could naturally recognize that this was a Tier 7 Divine Herb that had almost reached the limit of quality.
Even if he tried his best, it was already his limit to refine a Tier 5 Divine Pill with the materials he had at hand. It also depended on luck. The possibility of refining a Tier 4 Divine Pill was higher.
How could he continue the competition?
Not only did Su Chen refine a Divine Pill that was beyond his reach, but he also did it in such a short time. Si Nan's medicinal herbs had not even entered the alchemy furnace, but Su Chen's pill had already passed the tribulation successfully.
The comprehensive suppression made Si Nan unable to breathe at all.
The discussions around the arena continued to spread into Si Nan's ears. More and more people began to admire Su Chen from the bottom of their hearts. This was an era where the strong were respected. Su Chen used his own strength to prove that he did not get in through the back door. He may not have the strength of a Divine King like the other seven Great Elders, but in terms of Divine Runes and alchemy, he was no less than a Divine King. He could even reach the top level of the Spiritual Mountain Sect.
All the doubts that Si Nan and the crowd had about the Spirit Root Strengthening Pill disappeared the moment the Golden Pill was refined.
How could a Divine Pill refined by a Great Saint Alchemist whose alchemy skills were comparable to Elder Mu Zirui's?
It was impossible.
Si Nan's challenge had become meaningless.
Si Nan, who was praised by the crowd just now, was ignored in the blink of an eye. Although he was standing in the arena, he did not have a sense of presence.
No one even knew when Si Nan left quietly.
He really did not have the face to continue staying.
Not long after, Si Nan returned to the Spiritual Medicine Peak and immediately reported Su Chen's matter to your master, Mu Zirui.
Spiritual Mountain had sent a new Grade Nine Great Saint Alchemist. The impact was too great. It would even shake your master's position in the Spiritual Mountain Sect.
On the Spiritual Medicine Peak, in a cave filled with the fragrance of herbs.
After listening to Si Nan's report, Mu Zirui was silent for a long time.
"Are you sure that Su Chen is Grade Nine?"
"From what I saw, it's absolutely true. I also saw the Golden Pill Tribulation with my own eyes. It was exactly the same as the one you triggered when you refined the Divine Dao Innate Purple Qi Pill back then."
That was something from over a hundred years ago. That Divine Dao Innate Purple Qi Pill was one of Mu ZiRui's proudest masterpieces. Relying on that pill, he established himself as the number one alchemist in Ling Shan's Jing Province.
But now, this position seemed to be shaken by an unknown junior.
"Su Chen …. Who exactly is he? He appeared out of nowhere. At first, I thought he was just a pawn Lady Providence had tossed out. But now, it seems there's more to it than meets the eye."
…
On the Spiritual Knight Peak, it was still a lively scene.
These disciples of the Spiritual Mountain Sect no longer dared to challenge Su Chen, but they did not disperse. They were begging Su Chen to sell them the Spirit Root Strengthening Pill.
"Elder Su, please be merciful. My three spiritual roots are almost perfect. Only the water spiritual root is still a little lacking. If you can sell me a water spiritual root strengthening pill, I'm willing to pay any price."
"Elder Su, as long as you sell me a Spirit Root Strengthening Pill, I'll be a member of your Spiritual Knight Peak from now on."
"Elder Su, please accept me as your disciple. I'm willing to do anything."
