"Tsk, I thought I could see a wonderful fight between dragons and tigers, but it's so boring."
"Yes, based on Wu Chen's performance yesterday, I thought he would be the winner, but the result turned out to be like this. It really proves the saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"Even the only person who can compete with Su Can is gone. Now, Su Can's position is almost unbreakable." xdw8
"That may not be the case. There are also some powerful people like Yuan Feng from Tianxuan Holy Land, Qian Jie from Xingji Sect, Tang Ji from Beichen Academy, etc. These people are very powerful. They are fully qualified and capable to compete with Su Can."
"That's true. It depends on them."
Many people were disappointed with Wu Chen and turned their eyes away from him. Refining a youth-preserving pill was not the kind of pill they hoped to see.
However, the beauties in the field did not think so. When they heard that Wu Chen was going to refine the anti-aging pill, their eyes widened and they stared at Wu Chen intently.
"Wu Chen, I support you."
"Whoever can make me a youth-preserving pill, I will marry him immediately."
"Wu Chen, Wu Chen, I love you."
These ladies and rich ladies screamed loudly, one wave higher than the other, simply unable to resist the temptation of the Rejuvenation Pill. To them, the Rejuvenation Pill was more popular than those magical pills that could improve one's cultivation.
"This little brat is really going to piss me off to death."
Zhu Kun, Yang Xiong and the others were all extremely angry. If it wasn't for the fact that it was the Alchemist Competition period, they really wanted to pull Wu Chen out and give him a severe lesson.
However, now that things have come to this, they are helpless. All their hopes are placed on Tang Ji, hoping that he can live up to their expectations, refine a top-grade eight-star pill, defeat Su Can, and win the championship of this Alchemist Conference.
"Finally, I'm free from worries."
On the other side, the people of Taiyi Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, they were full of confidence in this Alchemist Conference, and they knew that the champion this time would be none other than their Taiyi Sect.
However, yesterday at venue No. 3, a man suddenly appeared. His alchemy skills were so superb that he actually created a myth of five consecutive poles. This made them all see a threat.
However, this kind of threat has now been completely eliminated. As for other people, the Taiyi Sect has never taken them seriously.
After a small disturbance, the platform gradually became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads and went about their own business.
"What kind of flame is this?"
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise in the field. Everyone felt a powerful flame coming towards them, and the scorching heat wave seemed to evaporate all the air.
Such a sudden change startled everyone. When they looked up, they saw a ball of blazing flame suddenly appearing above Yuan Feng's alchemy cauldron. The flame was extremely powerful and shot straight into the sky. A scorching high temperature hit them in the face.
"This is?"
Wu Chen also noticed this ferocious flame. With his extensive experience, he could naturally tell that this was definitely not an ordinary flame, because the flames in the bodies of ordinary cultivators could never reach such a level, unless they were fire spirit bodies. Only cultivators with this kind of physique could have flames in their bodies that could reach such a terrifying level.
Soon, a term emerged in his mind: borrowing fire.
Due to many reasons such as their physique, skills, and cultivation, the flames generated in the bodies of cultivators are often not too strong. They are more than enough to be used to refine some low-level pills. However, once they reach a high grade, such as fifth-grade, sixth-grade or even higher-grade pills, it is difficult to succeed in refining them solely relying on the flames condensed by the cultivator's own spiritual power. Therefore, at this time, borrowing fire is a very common method.
In this natural world, there are various forms of flames. They exist in different places in various forms, such as sky fire, beast fire, and devil fire. These flames are extremely powerful. Some flames are even strong enough to destroy the world. Such flames are truly terrifying.
Forms of flames like heavenly fire and beast fire are usually stronger than the flames condensed by the cultivators themselves, and the intensity of the flame has a great deal to do with the success rate of refining high-level elixirs. If the flame is strong enough, the purity of the refined medicinal materials will be higher, the success rate of the elixir will be higher, and the quality will be correspondingly better. Therefore, some powerful alchemists collect these flames, refine them, and use them for their own purposes, and then use this flame to refine elixirs, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, the flames of heavenly fire and beast fire have enormous energy and are extremely violent, making them difficult to control. To refine them and use them to assist in alchemy is extremely difficult. Ordinary people simply cannot do it. Even cultivators with powerful cultivation have to be cautious, because if they are not careful, they may suffer backlash and cause great harm to the body.
Wu Chen had a deep understanding of this point. In the past, he had spent countless efforts to refine the Hell Lotus, but in the end, he could not escape the fate of backlash. If he had not used the Fire Stone to stabilize the Hell Lotus, who knows how bad his current situation would have deteriorated.
"I didn't expect that Yuan Feng would actually use all the Mysterious Crystal Holy Fire."
Tang Ji was amazed. Yuan Feng did not use the Mysterious Crystal Holy Fire in yesterday's competition, but he used it now. It seems that he is determined to win the championship of this Alchemist Conference.
"Yuan Feng, I haven't seen you for over a year. Your ability to control fire has improved a lot."
Seeing the flame in Yuan Feng's alchemy cauldron, Su Can was also a little surprised. When an alchemist refines the elixir, he must control the flame well, and the control of the flame is directly related to the success or failure of alchemy and the quality of the elixir, so he must not be careless.
"Hahaha."
Yuan Feng laughed loudly. This flame of his was drawn from a sacred beast called Xuanjing. It was a beast fire with great power, but it was also very difficult to control. This flame was drawn from the sacred beast by a strong man from Tianxuan Holy Land after he broke through to become a fifth-rank alchemist. The strong man then refined some of the violent factors in the flame and injected it into his body.
The reason why he didn't use it before was because this flame was too overbearing. Only elixirs of level five and above could withstand this flame. Other elixirs would be destroyed upon touching it.
