Chapter 261 Refining Qingming Shoudan
After another group of losers left, there were only six people left, including Xiao Yan, Liu Ling, Yao Yue and other imperial alchemists who were on par with Xiao Yan before.

The three alchemists from other empires failed to control the ripples produced by the elixir when it was almost taking shape. They only hated that the ripples were too weak.

Xiao Yan was not affected much, but Liu Ling and Yao Yue, two alchemists who were not very strong, had to guard against sneak attacks while refining medicine. The sweat on their foreheads soaked their clothes.

The three alchemists wearing bamboo hats were the first to succeed in refining the pills. After they placed the pills on the testing machine, the testing machine instantly lit up with a bright green light.

Three bright beams of light were extremely dazzling in the square. The three alchemists all raised their thumbs at the same time, making provocative gestures.

"Damn it!" At this time, both Fa Ma on the podium and other spectators showed angry expressions. This was a naked provocation and insult.

Liu Ling and Yao Yue, who were refining medicine, felt angry when they saw this scene, but then the three alchemists smiled as if their conspiracy had succeeded.

Yaoyue and Liu Ling's medicine cauldrons began to vibrate, and then there was a muffled sound, and the medicinal materials inside instantly turned to ashes, which also indicated that they had failed.

"Alas! Refining the fifth-grade elixir is indeed too difficult for them, coupled with their lack of experience." Gu He sighed as he looked at the failed Liu Ling and Yao Yue.

"Is it possible that the Alchemist Conference held in our own country will be won by the alchemist from another country?" At this moment, the audience in the venue all felt disappointed.

"Bang!" At this moment, an energy ripple was generated in the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan. After the ripple hit the medicine cauldron, it directly shook the cauldron and caused it to crack.

"It's over! There is no hope now! Will this damn Bu Jingyun die if he uses a better medicine cauldron?" At this time, the audience in the field all blamed Xiao Yan at the same time.

Now the championship is completely going to be taken by other countries, and no one advanced to the final round. It's really embarrassing.

Fa Ma and others on the platform also closed their eyes, unwilling to see Xiao Yan fail, but after waiting for a long time they did not hear the sound of the furnace exploding.

"This is... such a terrifying soul power!" Fa Ma opened his eyes and looked at the shattered medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan, which was tightly wrapped by soul power, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Gu He also widened his eyes. The energy ripples produced by the fifth-grade elixir were blocked so easily?

Xiao Yan continued to warm the pill with the flame for a while, and when it became extremely round, he extinguished the flame and withdrew his soul power at the same time.

As the soul power disappeared, the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan shattered, and the fragments fell all over the table.

Xiao Yan curled his right hand into a claw and sucked the pill fiercely. The pill instantly appeared in his palm. He then threw it onto the testing machine, which instantly lit up with a rich green beam of bright light.

Fa Ma on the high platform finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. If Xiao Yan really failed, it would be a huge joke. Not only would the Alchemist Guild's reputation be ruined, but the losses would also be enormous.

The audience on the stage also shouted excitedly at this time. Although they didn't know Xiao Yan's background, they already regarded Xiao Yan as a member of the Jia Ma Empire.

The three men wearing bamboo hats also had solemn expressions on their faces. Xiao Yan's move just now really stunned them.

"The competition has been going on for nearly three days. The next round is the most important and difficult one. It will be up to you alchemists to choose the prescriptions and refine your best elixirs to ultimately decide who will be the champion! Now the four of you can go to the stone platform in the front to practice!" Fa Ma said, pointing to the four huge bluestone platforms below the stage.

Xiao Yan looked at the four bluestone platforms that attracted much attention, a smile appeared on his lips, and he walked up immediately.

"You three old guys are almost buried in the ground. I think if I lose soon, how will you face people?" Fa Ma was on the high platform at this time, transmitting a message to the three people below the stage.

"Hmph! Don't be happy too soon. No one will know who the winner will be until the end!" These three people obviously knew Fa Ma, but after going through so much trouble, how could they be willing to fail.

The three of them took out their carefully prepared medicinal materials, placed them on the stone platform, and showed provocation to Fa Ma. "These are the materials for refining the Imperial Pill! This is troublesome!" Fa Ma looked down at the medicinal materials on their stone platform and frowned.

After taking a look, Gu He also frowned. He had only successfully refined one of the Huangji Pills. The refining technique was extremely complicated, and the medicinal materials were extremely rare.

"I didn't expect they were so willing to do this!" exclaimed Chemir.

"These old guys are rich! Let's rob them after the conference is over?" Xiao Yan touched his chin, and this idea became stronger and stronger in his mind.

Xiao Yan temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind, took out the Heart of the Earth from the ring, and placed it on the stone platform.

The originally huge bluestone platform was now completely occupied by the Heart of the Earth, leaving no place for even the medicinal herbs.

"This..." Fa Ma looked at the medicine cauldron that Xiao Yan took out, and finally understood why Hai Bodong said that the stone platform he prepared was too small.

The audience on the stage were also stunned by this huge medicine cauldron. Is this really used for refining pills? It can hold several people!
The three people beside Xiao Yan carefully looked at the medicine cauldron that Xiao Yan took out, and solemn expressions appeared on their faces, because their medicine cauldrons were far inferior to Xiao Yan's.

"What's the use of using a good medicine cauldron? The key is still the fire!" the three said with contempt.

"Boom!" A ball of white flame instantly appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. As soon as the white flame appeared, the temperature of the entire square suddenly rose a few degrees.

"Strange Fire!" The three of them looked at the strange fire in Xiao Yan's hand and were suddenly shocked and speechless.

"Such a strong breath of life! Could it be him?" Gu He instantly showed a look of shock and looked at Fa Ma, wanting to get the truth out of him.

Fa Ma just smiled and didn't say much.

Why has Xiao Yan become more and more high-profile recently? Because there is no need to hide anymore. Hiding is useless and what needs to be faced must be faced.

The audience on the high platform looked at the strange fire in Xiao Yan's hand, and they all showed an intoxicated look. After all, some of them had already touched it.

Xiao Yan sent the strange fire into the medicine cauldron, then took out a evergreen vine from the ring and began to refine it.

Seeing Xiao Yan taking action, the other three naturally did not want to be outdone and began to summon flames and refine medicinal herbs.

Even with the help of the strange fire, the evergreen ivy was extremely difficult to refine. It took a full ten hours to refine it.

Xiao Yan once again took out the Qingming Fruit and Shouwang Syrup from his storage ring and put them into the medicine cauldron to refine them together.

"President, do you know what kind of elixir Bu Jingyun is refining?" Gu He turned and asked Fa Ma beside him.

"I'm not sure, but whether it's the Evergreen Ivy, the Qingming Fruit, or the Shouwang Jelly, they are all things that can increase people's lifespan, so the elixir he refined must be a rare elixir that can increase lifespan." Fa Ma shook his head and said.

"But how can a pill that can only increase lifespan be compared with the Huangji Pill!" Qiemi said worriedly.

"Let's keep watching! I think he will definitely give us a surprise!" Fa Ma was quite confident in Xiao Yan.

The Qingming Longevity Pill refined by Xiao Yan can extend a person's lifespan by ten years, but after being refined by Xiao Yan, the effect must be better. Xiao Yan himself does not know what the specific effect is.
