The Spirit Breaking Pill was a high quality pill no matter what rank eight sect it was.
Not only could it make a high level Xuan Disciple suddenly become a Spirit Master, but it could also make a Spirit Master rise by a level. Such a pill could definitely greatly increase the strength of a sect.
Although sects were mainly measured by the number of King Stage cultivators, Spirit Masters were also the elites of a sect. They were an indispensable core strength.
Now that Ling Xiao said such arrogant words in front of a group of elders, he would naturally be displeased by most people.
"He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Yang An, who was an alchemist, snorted in disdain.
Even if he wanted to refine this Spirit Breaking Pill, it would not be easy, but this kid in front of him did not care about it. How could he be happy?
On the side, Chao Nan looked at Ling Xiao with a faint bitter smile. No one knew what he was thinking.
On the viewing platform, Yun Xiong shook his head and said to Mu Huai, "Elder Mu, this young man still needs to be tempered!"
Mu Huai laughed dryly and replied, "This kid's temperament is not bad, but he is a little arrogant. When we get back, I will definitely teach this stinking brat a lesson."
On the side, the Jade Spring Pavilion's Pavilion Master Wen Haiyan laughed tenderly, "Sect Master, it is not a bad thing for a young man to be a little arrogant. Do you want him to be like us old men who are serious in speech and manner?
That will make him lose the drive of a young man! "
"Sect Master, mother is right. Seeing you guys always with a straight face, I am scared!" The beautiful and cute Wen Kedie, who was behind Wen Haiyan, pouted and said.
"Die 'er, don't be rude!" Wen Haiyan snorted coldly.
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. Die 'er, this is the truth!" Yun Xiong laughed happily.
"Sect Master, that kid is making his move. Let's watch!" Mu Huai reminded from the side.
Everyone focused their attention on the field again.
"You've only managed to utilize half of the medicinal properties of such a large pile of spirit herbs. I have to say, Elder Zhu, your decades of perverted alchemy skills are truly too lacking," Ling Xiao said in an extremely contemptuous tone.
Ru Chang's face turned green, and his body trembled in anger. If there were not so many people here, he would probably fight Ling Xiao to the death.
"Yellow female brat, do you only know how to talk? If you have the ability, then refine it!" Ruchang scolded.
"Then watch carefully," Ling Xiao said as the Obsidian Cauldron flew out from his Space Ring.
Ding!
As soon as the Obsidian Cauldron landed on the ground, a bright light flashed and Zhu Ruchang's Green Serpent Cauldron was shaken away.
Boom!
After the Green Python Cauldron flew out, it actually automatically exploded into pieces.
The surrounding people were all shocked by this sudden scene. Luckily, they were all Spirit Masters and above, so they weren't injured by the fragments that flew out from the explosion.
Ru Chang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes widened as he stared at his shattered cauldron. His expression became savage as he leapt towards Ling Xiao. "Bastard, you dare to destroy my cauldron!"
Ling Xiao didn't even look at him. He turned around and threw a punch at Ru Chang.
Bang!
How could Ru Chang be Ling Xiao's opponent? He was immediately pushed back.
"Your trash cauldron exploded on its own. What does it have to do with me?" Ling Xiao said straightforwardly.
He didn't think that the Obsidian Cauldron would have such a bad temper. It had just been released, but it had already destroyed someone else's cauldron.
Ling Xiao found that he liked the Obsidian Cauldron more and more.
"What … what's going on? Why did Elder Zhu's cauldron explode?"
"Did it break because it was used for too long?"
"What do you know? That's a high-grade cauldron, so how could it break so easily? I heard that it was a relic of Elder Zhu's master. Even a King Stage expert wouldn't be able to shatter it."
"Then why did it explode?"
"You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask? I just think that it has something to do with Ling Xiao's cauldron."
Everyone was very puzzled by what was happening, and they were all discussing in low voices.
Nangong Changle suddenly stood up from his seat and said in shock, "Could … could this be a heaven-grade cauldron?"
Yang An and Chao Nan looked at Ling Xiao's cauldron, and their gazes couldn't help but burn.
Others might not be able to recognize what cauldron Ling Xiao was holding, but Nangong Changle, Yang An, and the others could tell at a glance that Ling Xiao's cauldron wasn't ordinary, and it might even be a legendary heaven-grade cauldron.
Although Ru Chang had been sent flying by Ling Xiao, he still didn't give up and once again pounced at Ling Xiao.
That cauldron was his most cherished possession, and he had spent a great deal of effort to obtain it from his master. Now that it had exploded, how could he not feel heartache and anger?
"Enough, it's time for the examination, you're not allowed to cause trouble here." As Zhu Ruchang's senior brother, Nangong Changle naturally couldn't allow Zhu Ruchang to continue losing his composure. With a shout, he raised his hand and immediately restrained Ru Chang.
"Ling Xiao, you can start refining now. Whoever dares to disturb you, I swear to kill them!" Ling Xiao's master, Mu Huai, glanced at Ling Xiao and coldly stared at Ru Chang.
Ru Chang shuddered, and the flames on his body immediately extinguished. He continued to glare at Ling Xiao with hatred.
Ling Xiao's mouth twitched, and his hands finally began to move.
A small pile of spirit herbs appeared in front of Ling Xiao, and he immediately threw them into the cauldron.
All the elders on the viewing platform looked at Ling Xiao's actions in confusion.
Yun Xiong couldn't help but ask Nangong Changle, "Elder Nangong, isn't refining the essence of the spirit herbs one by one?"
"Normally, it's refined like this," Nangong Changle replied. His eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at Ling Xiao, "Could it be that this kid has already reached that stage?"
"Wow, it works like this!" Just as Yun Xiong was about to say something, the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Yun Xiong once again looked at Ling Xiao, and with a whoosh, he stood up and looked at the center of the field in shock.
The spirit herbs in the medicine cauldron all floated up, and each stalk of spirit herb was like a star rotating non-stop.
Ling Xiao's flaming palms were like flying phantoms, and one blue flame after another pounced on the cauldron. The cauldron emitted a series of sizzling sounds, and the spirit herbs that were floating in the air instantly withered under the heat. Then, they turned into bits of rich medicinal essence that dripped into the cauldron.
"How … How is this possible!" Nangong Changle also stood up and stared at what Ling Xiao was doing with a face full of shock.
Zhu Ruchang, Yang An, and Chao Nanxian, the three third grade alchemists, were also filled with disbelief.
Hua Xiaogui, who was not far away, couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss has actually reached the realm of refining medicine into rain … This … This is really my boss, my god!"
After saying that, Hua Xiaogui stared at Ling Xiao with a face full of admiration, as if he had seen a naked beauty, full of excitement.
Wu Sixue, who was at the side, asked in confusion, "What do you mean by refining medicine into rain?"
"Don't be noisy," Hua Xiaogui snorted impatiently at Wu Sixue for the first time, and continued to stare at Ling Xiao refining medicine.
Wu Sixue stomped her feet, and just as she was about to vent her anger, she saw Hua Xiaogui's meticulous appearance, and finally endured it.
Ling Xiao had already entered the realm of forgetting himself and the spirit energy within his body was constantly being drawn out, while the Flame Shadow Palms were constantly being shot out. The speed was countless times faster than Zhu Ruchang's.
The most surprising thing was the blue flame that shot out from Ling Xiao's palms, which was extremely astonishing.
Nangong Changle's old eyes stared unblinkingly at Ling Xiao, and he muttered, "This is definitely the legendary Obsidian Cauldron, and that blue flame, could it be the legendary Heavenly Fire?
Could it be that this kid found some secret realm? Otherwise, how could he become so powerful in such a short period of time? "
When Chang Ruchang saw that Ling Xiao was actually able to reach the realm of "refining medicine into rain", his expression was one of shock, and the other one of disbelief.
"Refining medicine into rain" was a realm that only alchemists who had reached the King Stage could use spirit energy to imprison spirit herbs in midair, and then use flames to refine the spirit herbs one by one, turning them into medicine rain that fell into the cauldron.
This realm was the symbol of becoming an Alchemist Grandmaster.
This was because normally, only a fourth rank alchemist could reach this realm. Moreover, the requirement for controlling the fire was quite high. Without dozens of years of practice, it was impossible to achieve this. Otherwise, all the spirit herbs would be destroyed.
For example, Chang Ruchang knew that even his senior brother, Nangong Changle, didn't dare to do this when he was refining high level pills. After all, every spirit herb was very precious, and if something went wrong, the loss would be great.
However, right now, Ling Xiao had completely overturned his thoughts. He was actually able to reach the realm of "refining medicine into rain" at the age of not even twenty, and with the strength of a Middle Spiritual Master. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely have thought that he was dreaming.
Unfortunately, although he wanted to dream, reality was very cruel.
The mysterious palm shadows that Ling Xiao struck out were even more complicated and difficult to understand than the Eighteen Burning Flame Palms he used, and the speed of the fire palms was even faster. It was as if this palm technique had been created for the sake of refining pills.
Moreover, feeling the strange nimbleness of the blue flames, Chang Ruchang's heart finally began to waver. He thought, "Could it be that this kid had some sort of fortuitous encounter?"
As the Shadow Flame Palms that Ling Xiao struck out became faster and faster, the spirit herbs floating in the air gradually all had their essence extracted and fell into the medicine cauldron.
When the last spirit herb had been refined, Ling Xiao quickly threw a beast core into the medicine cauldron, and the blue flames in his hands increased in intensity.
Peng peng!
The flames burned the walls of the cauldron, and a strange light screen appeared around the medicine cauldron, faintly consolidating the extracted spirit herb essence and the beast core's energy within the medicine cauldron.
Now that it was already the final stage, Ling Xiao still didn't show any signs of impatience. His expression was only focused on the medicine cauldron.
Suddenly, the beast core's energy within the medicine cauldron was completely refined, and Ling Xiao shouted, "Condense!"
Ling Xiao flipped his palms and pressed them down. The spirit power in his body surged like a tide, all of it rushing into the medicine cauldron.
Peng!
The medicine cauldron let out a muffled groan, and a green light spread out. A dense medicinal fragrance assaulted the nostrils, causing everyone in the surroundings to feel refreshed.
"What a dense medicinal fragrance! This pill must be of high quality!"
"Isn't it? It's even denser than the pills refined by the elders."
"I wonder what kind of pill this is."
"It should also be a Spiritbreak Pill. The elders just told him to refine it."
