Huang Tianba and Ren Xiaoyao's unfathomable alchemy techniques attracted a lot of attention from the audience. They praised Huang Tianba and Ren Xiaoyao for their extraordinary alchemy skills and said that the alchemy pills they refined would definitely be divine pills that were hard to come by.
"Hmph, no matter how hard you work, no matter how gorgeous your techniques are, you are destined to become my, Ye Ziming's, stepping stones. Today's triennial Alchemy Competition will be my private stage. It will also be the beginning of my alchemy skills stepping into the East Continent and shocking the whole continent!"
Ye Ziming said arrogantly. Then, he bent his palms and clasped them into five claws. He kept grabbing the medicinal herbs on the alchemy table in front of him. His movements were so fast that it was dazzling.
As he kept grabbing, medicinal herbs flew over one after another. Under the control of his mental strength, they were mixed into a ball and gathered between his hands.
Because he didn't use an alchemy furnace, Ye Ziming began to refine alchemy in public.
"Mysterious Yellow Flame, rise!"
Ye Ziming gathered his Qi into a fire. The yellow flame grew bigger in his palms, emitting a dazzling yellow light. He hurriedly wrapped up the medicinal herbs and refined them under the effect of the Pill Forging Gloves.
Gradually, his Mysterious Yellow Flame became too dazzling and strong. So, the process of refining the alchemy was completely covered. The people outside could no longer see the real situation. They could only see the faint shadow of an alchemy pill in the raging yellow flame.
"As expected of the Pill Forging Gloves. The alchemy effect is much better than the furnace!"
"Moreover, Ye Ziming also has the Mysterious Yellow Flame. He is very likely to win the championship!"
"I saw him take out a Vermillion Bird Plume from his interspatial ring during the refining process. That Vermillion Bird Plume is a sixth-grade sacred herb and is extremely expensive. He actually used it as an ingredient to refine it."
"I don't know what kind of amazing miracle Ye Ziming will bring to us in the end. I can't wait to see his alchemy pills."
The crowd was in a heated discussion. They were completely shocked by Ye Ziming's alchemy skills.
Furthermore, he predicted that the pills that Ye Ziming refined would be incomparably precious.
"I'm sorry, but this stage is not Ye Ziming's stage. It's my, Mu Xiangtian's, private stage. In my eyes, aren't you, Ye Ziming, a trash stepping stone?
Now, it's time to witness the miracle of Mu Xiangtian! "
Mu Xiangtian didn't want to fall behind.
Similarly, after he threw in the medicinal herbs, he lifted the furnace above his head. In an instant, the Tai Chi Furnace shone brightly and expanded to ten meters in size, like a huge illusory furnace.
The Illusory Furnace stood tall in the air, looking incomparably majestic. As the Taiji diagram on it revolved, it immediately caused a commotion.
Mu Xiangtian immediately used all his strength to condense the Primordial Fire, and urged the Primordial Fire with a heart-wrenching and lung-splitting effort. Under the ten meter huge furnace, it seemed to be extremely strenuous.
"Taiji Heavenly Lightning Talisman, go!"
Swallowing many pills to replenish essence energy in one go, Mu Xiangtian knew that because his cultivation was too low, it was very difficult for him to support such a huge consumption of essence fire.
In order to speed up the refining process, he raised his hand and took out a stack of long pieces of paper, throwing them into the air.
There were a total of eight pieces of paper, pasted on the eight sides of the Tai Chi Furnace, forming an Eight Trigrams Spiritual Array.
After the eight pieces of paper gathered, they immediately erupted with their own power. A surge of surging electric net wrapped around the huge Tai Chi Furnace, and at this moment, Mu Xiangtian's Primordial Fire burned even more vigorously.
"It's actually a rune incantation!"
"Oh my god, and looking at the power of this rune, it's definitely not inferior to a fifth-grade rune, maybe even a sixth-grade rune!"
"No wonder Mu Xiangtian is so arrogant. He actually has a rune trump card, and pasted the rune on his furnace to enhance it!"
The audience below the stage was very surprised.
At this moment, Mu Chunfeng, who was at the judges' table, stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
"Commentator Mu, in order to support Xiangtian in the competition, you've really put in a lot of effort!"
Elder Dan Ge, who was beside him, sighed.
It was actually very difficult to obtain runes to enhance one's Primordial Fire.
This was because Rune Masters and Inscriptionists were rarer professions than Alchemists, and they were very mysterious.
No one knew where Mu Chunfeng had found a Rune Master, and he had successfully obtained eight Lightning Runes to help Mu Xiangtian. He had really put in a lot of effort.
"Hehe, Xiangtian is my son, and of course, I'll give him my full support. In fact, this is also for the sake of Dan Ge, isn't it?
Don't you want to see Xiangtian win the championship for Dan Ge? "
Mu Chunfeng smiled disapprovingly.
In fact, the eight Lightning Runes were genuine sixth-grade runes.
With the enhancement of the sixth-grade runes and the Tai Chi Furnace's own effects, Mu Xiangtian's alchemy skills had invisibly risen to a sixth-grade standard, and refining a sixth-grade Divine Pill was not a problem at all.
Of course, after this competition, Mu Xiangtian's Primordial Qi would be exhausted, and because of excessive consumption, it was very likely that he would be unable to walk for a month. Therefore, this incomparably impressive scene was only enough for Mu Xiangtian to show off once.
Although it was only once, it was more than enough.
"It's a Rune Technique, Brother Xiangtian, even I am starting to envy you. You have a good father!"
Huang Tianba was a little angry and said unwillingly.
With the enhancement of the Lightning Runes, Mu Xiangtian's current strength was definitely not inferior to anyone in the Genius Platform, and the quality of the pills that he refined might even be better.
"Haha, you flatter me. More than half of my pills have been completed, and I just need another ten breaths to complete the refinement. Everyone, work hard!"
Mu Xiangtian responded happily, and his face was filled with pride.
However, in reality, his condition was not good. He was so tired that he was drenched in sweat, and his face was pale. Therefore, his smile was uglier than a ghost's.
Immediately, the others stopped talking and began to refine pills with all their might. After all, refining pills required concentration, and one could not be distracted. Otherwise, if the Primordial Fire was slightly weaker or stronger, it might affect the quality of their pills.
"Eh, why is Qin Hao not moving on the stage?"
"Could it be that the number one person on the Heaven Leaderboard of the Scarlet Sun Inner Yard is really an idiot in alchemy?"
All the contestants were trying their best to display their talents, and only Qin Hao was left. Until now, he had not moved at all, and this attracted the attention of the crowd.
This made Xing 'er, who was below the stage, very anxious.
"Haha, Qin Hao, don't tell me you don't even know how to mix herbs?
If that's the case, I have to apologize to you. I forced you to go on stage and make a fool of yourself, but to be honest, I feel very good, hahaha! "
This was the result that Mu Xiangtian wanted. He wanted to see Qin Hao stand on the stage like a fool, with a helpless and unwilling expression.
Immediately, Mu Xiangtian said, "If you don't like me, then do your best and refine a pill. Even if you can refine the trashiest first-grade pill, I, Mu Xiangtian, am willing to buy it for 100,000 Earth Crystals. Unfortunately, you can't refine it, hahaha …"
Hiss!
Gasps could be heard from below the stage. Even Huang Tianba and the other two on the stage looked sideways with shocked expressions.
100,000 Earth Crystals was not a small amount, and Mu Xiangtian was like a nouveau riche. However, based on his adoptive father, Mu Chunfeng's status in Dan Ge, it was not impossible for him to take out 100,000 Earth Crystals.
Even so, this was a little too exaggerated, and he looked down on Qin Hao too much.
In fact, at this moment, Mu Chunfeng, who was at the judges' table, suddenly felt his heart twitch violently.
100,000 Earth Crystals!
That was the capital that he had saved up after toiling for his entire life.
Mu Xiangtian had actually jokingly used it as a wager?
What an unfilial disciple.
However, Mu Chunfeng was not worried. As Mu Xiangtian had said, looking at Qin Hao's appearance, it was obvious that he did not know how to refine pills. If he forced him to refine pills, the furnace might explode, so he would definitely not agree.
