Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Our Saint Son Really Can Practice Alchemy

Teng Ying twitched the corner of her mouth, clearly not expecting Ye Yu to say that, but remembering that she still owed him a favor.

Moreover, if Ye Yu truly could achieve good results, using 200 million spirit stones to exchange for a High-Rank Alchemist’s goodwill wouldn’t be a loss.

The commotion ended. Seeing that the three Authority figures of the Alchemist Alliance didn’t object, the noise in the plaza gradually subsided.

As Mo Ran gathered the Pill Fire in his hand and lit the long incense stick in the center of the plaza, the Alchemy Conference officially began.

This long incense stick was specially refined; the fragrance it burned had a calming and concentrating effect, helping Alchemists with alchemy.

Also, this incense stick could burn for seven days. When it burned out, the finished pills had to be submitted.

If a finished product couldn’t be submitted, it would directly represent failure.

Seven days to refine a Seventh-Rank Pill—this requirement was undeniably high.

The next moment, the temperature of the plaza suddenly rose. Nearly two hundred High-Rank Alchemists simultaneously displayed their Pill Fires; the scene was truly spectacular.

Gu Yuan looked at the people around him, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. Then, he made a Hand Seal, and a deep blue flame condensed in his palm.

The scorching heat swept out, causing the faces of several Alchemists beside him to change slightly; they almost couldn’t control the flames in their Alchemy Furnaces.

Then, one by one, they looked at Gu Yuan’s palm in astonishment.

Within that deep blue flame was a trace of chilling coldness.

“That’s the fire of an Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast! ” someone immediately exclaimed.

Alchemist Pill Fires are generally divided into two categories. Most Alchemists use their spiritual energy to condense their own unique Pill Fire. This type of flame is easier to use, but its shortcomings are also obvious.

If a Nascent Soul Stage Alchemist’s condensed Pill Fire, its upper limit of power can only be at the Nascent Soul Stage; many Spirit Herbs simply cannot be refined.

Others obtain flames from other sources; among them, Beast Fire is the first choice for most Alchemists.

For example, the Beast Fire Gu Yuan is currently using. Judging from its temperature and the density of its spiritual energy, it’s not difficult to judge that the original Beast must have been at least at the Transformation God Peak.

“You still have some knowledge. ” Gu Yuan grinned, then took Spirit Herbs from his Storage Ring, throwing them into the furnace. In half a stick of incense, they were completely refined into Medicinal Liquid. This speed far surpassed others.

“Heh, it’s just the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast’s fire. What’s there to be proud of! ” another voice sounded.

It was Han Jun, the former Alchemist of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect. Han Jun grinned, and a mass of green fire rose from his hand, not inferior to the blue fire in Gu Yuan’s hand.

Lingyunzi’s expression was somewhat unsightly. This green fire was the flame of a Storm Fire Lion King. In the past, the Zi Xiao Sword Sect had paid a considerable price to help Han Jun obtain this Beast Fire.

Two flames, one green and one blue, rose, attracting almost everyone’s attention. Pill Fire is also a crucial factor in judging an Alchemist’s skill.

Their ability to use this flame power, which far surpasses their own spiritual energy, is itself a demonstration of ability.

On the high platform, Mo Ran and the other two nodded repeatedly as they watched Gu Yuan and Han Jun. It had been a long time since such high-level Pill Fires had appeared in the Alchemy Conference.

“It seems the champion this time will be born between these two. ” Mo Ran’s face showed some disappointment. These two were old faces; although their Alchemy Dao was extraordinary, they clearly didn’t meet their requirements.

“Mm, it seems we can only hope that there are exceptionally talented young people among them. If there are, there might still be time,” Xuan Lin said.

However, Han Yi spoke at this moment: “Is that so? Then I’ll make a bet with you two. I’m optimistic about that young man. ”

Mo Ran and Xuan Lin were startled, then followed Han Yi’s gaze and found that she was pointing at Ye Yu, who had been ridiculed earlier.

“What? Do you know him? ” Mo Ran asked.

Han Yi shook her head, not telling the two that Ye Yu possessed an Earth Realm Peak Soul. She merely smiled: “Dare you? ”

“Heh, since you’re interested, why shouldn’t I play along? But if you lose, I want your Nine-Star Haitang,” Xuan Lin waved his hand, laughing strangely.

“Okay, if I win, I want the Seven Illusory Spirit Fruits,” Han Yi agreed. Xuan Lin just pouted but didn’t object.

Exchanging Seven Illusory Spirit Fruits for a Nine-Star Haitang was reasonable.

Below, after observing the crowd for a while, Ye Yu waved his hand, and a jet-black Alchemy Furnace appeared before everyone.

As soon as the Alchemy Furnace appeared, a rich Pill Fragrance emanated, faintly overpowering even the inherent Pill Fragrance of Pill Seeking City.

The three on the viewing stand’s eyes all narrowed. With their eyes as Eighth-Rank Alchemists, they could naturally see that Ye Yu’s Alchemy Furnace was definitely extraordinary; even their own Alchemy Furnaces might not compare.

They absolutely didn’t believe that the Zi Xiao Sword Sect possessed this level of Alchemy Furnace.

There was only one explanation: Ye Yu probably had another identity, or he had an extremely powerful Master in the Alchemy Dao.

Seeing the Alchemy Furnace, Xuan Lin’s expression changed. He glanced at Han Yi beside him and sighed inwardly, “That woman’s eyes are still sharp! ”

Looking at the Alchemy Furnace before him, Ye Yu took a deep breath, then his breathing rhythm changed. Everyone keenly sensed that the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy had begun to change.

The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy of the entire Pill Seeking City seemed to have fallen into some strange rhythm.

Those present were all highly cultivated individuals, and they instantly locked onto the source of this strange situation!

It was Ye Yu!

Gu Yuan and Han Jun also looked over in surprise, not understanding what Ye Yu was suddenly doing.

“Hmph, making a fuss,” Gu Yuan said disdainfully. In terms of cultivation talent, he knew he was inferior to the Zi Xiao Saint Son, but in terms of Alchemy Dao, could a little brat surpass him?

The next moment, Ye Yu made Hand Seals, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy continuously poured into Ye Yu’s body.

With a flip of his hand, a milky white Pill Fire instantly rose.

There was no scorching heat, nor violent spiritual energy, but this Pill Fire caused the surrounding flames to dim, as if they were surrendering.

Han Jun and Gu Yuan felt this particularly strongly. They could feel the fear in their furnace flames.

Then, Ye Yu threw this Pill Fire into the furnace, then took Spirit Herbs from his Storage Ring, one by one, and put them into the Alchemy Furnace in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Lingyunzi and the others from the Zi Xiao Sword Sect instantly widened their eyes. Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, their own Saint Son could actually perform alchemy!

Even more shocked than them were the three on the viewing stand. They could clearly sense that the moment the Spirit Herbs Ye Yu threw in contacted that Pill Fire, their vitality became even more vigorous.

“Innate… breathing method?!” Han Yi suddenly thought of something and trembled with excitement.
