Chapter 362: Rare in History
The square of Tianxiahui was full of people. All of them had strong auras, all of them were above Douhuang. They were all looking in one direction with excitement, where a young man in a golden brocade robe was concentrating on refining medicine.

Suddenly, the weather began to change. The originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. There were lightning and thunder in the clouds. A lightning bolt as thick as an arm suddenly shot out from the clouds and headed straight for the pill that was about to take shape in the medicine cauldron.

Just as the lightning was about to reach the medicine cauldron, a silver figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the cauldron and ran straight towards the lightning.

"Boom!" Thunder continued to sound, and countless lightning struck the silver figure. However, because the figure was not damaged at all, its momentum became stronger and stronger.

After the thunder and lightning lasted for more than an hour, they finally dissipated unwillingly. The dark clouds in the sky also began to slowly disappear. The sun appeared again, illuminating the entire square with golden light.

This scene should have been shocking, but it did not arouse any reaction, because the people in the square were already used to it or numb to it.

At this time, the young man in the center of the square was like a god in their hearts, omnipotent.

"Such a prosperous era is truly rare in history!" An old man standing outside the square said with emotion as he looked at the middle-aged man next to him.

"Yes! It's really hard to imagine when refining sixth-grade elixirs would be as easy as eating and drinking water." The middle-aged man sighed and said with envy.

"Gu He, your alchemy skills are about to break through the seventh level, right? How long will it take you to refine a sixth-grade pill? What is the success rate?" The old man stroked his graying beard and asked the middle-aged man next to him.

Hearing this, Gu He shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Fa Ma, your alchemy skills have also reached the sixth level. You should know how difficult it is to refine a sixth-grade pill!"

"Haha! Although my alchemy skills have reached the sixth level two years ago, the success rate of refining sixth-level pills is only one-third, and it takes at least three or four days." Upon hearing this, Fa Ma smiled helplessly. There is no comparison at all.

"I'm only slightly better. My success rate in refining a sixth-grade pill is only half, and it takes at least two or three days. Someone like him can refine one in less than half a day. Not to mention us, even an eighth-grade alchemist can't do it." Gu He said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Fa Ma nodded and said, "I think this should be because of the strange fire in his body!"

"The most time-consuming part of alchemy is refining the medicinal materials. If there is a strange fire to help, the speed of refining the medicinal materials will be greatly improved. Unfortunately, I have been searching for so long, but I haven't found the strange fire." Gu He sighed and said.

"Ordinary strange fire can only save about half of the time at most, it is far from this level. Although we are very far away, we can still feel waves of heat coming towards us. I think his strange fire is already close to the top five on the strange fire list!" Fa Ma said lightly.

"Next!" Just as Gu He and Fa Ma were communicating, Xiao Yan in the center of the square took out the pill from the medicine cauldron, threw it to the middle-aged man waiting on the side, and then shouted towards the square.

The middle-aged man took the pill thrown by Xiao Yan, put it away carefully, bowed deeply to Xiao Yan, and then ran down happily to take the pill to improve his strength.

"Greetings, Boss Xiong!" As soon as the middle-aged man ran away, another middle-aged man in a green robe ran up and saluted Xiao Yan.

"What kind of elixir do you want to refine?" Xiao Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

"Please help me refine the Imperial Pill!" The middle-aged man in green robe bowed to Xiao Yan again and said. Hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head helplessly and said, "Why is it the Imperial Pill again? Are there so many ingredients for the Imperial Pill?"

"Uh... what are you saying, boss? I spent all my net worth to get these two batches of Huangji Pill materials, and I also borrowed a lot of money from friends. Ever since you started helping the brothers to refine pills, the materials for Huangji Pill have been in short supply." The middle-aged man in green robe said with a wry smile.

This is no wonder, the Huangji Pill is the favorite pill of Douhuang strongmen, especially the Huangji Pill refined by Xiao Yan, which can help people improve by three stars, which is equivalent to saving people five to ten years of hard training.

What's even more exaggerated is that this Huangji Pill seems to have the effect of curing hidden injuries. After taking the Huangji Pill, some people suddenly found that not only their strength has improved, but their long-standing hidden injuries have also inexplicably healed. This makes people highly praise the Huangji Pill.

In order to collect enough materials for the Huangji Pill, some people are no longer satisfied with using normal means, and they enjoy killing and robbing.

Why do you think these people are willing to stand in this square and wait? It’s because they are afraid that the materials they have worked so hard to obtain will be snatched away by others.

Now, except for this square, any other place is a dangerous area. You may be hit by a club while you are eating or taking a shit, and when you wake up, you will find that your materials are gone.

This has happened more than once, but who can you blame? You can only blame yourself for being careless. Xiao Yan is not a policeman, so he has no obligation to help people retrieve materials.

After Xiao Yan took the materials from the middle-aged man in green robe, he began to refine them. Xiao Yan, who had already refined hundreds of Imperial Pills, was naturally very familiar with the refining process and could refine them with his eyes closed.

The five steps of extracting medicinal materials, removing impurities, fusing medicinal materials, condensing into pills, and nurturing the pills were all done in one go. Then, when the pill was about to come out, thunder rumbled in the sky. When the Earth Demon Puppet saw the thunder, it was like a dog seeing shit. It went up on its own without Xiao Yan's command.

After being baptized by heavenly thunder hundreds of times, the strength of the two earth demon puppets has increased significantly. The Iron Giant Scorpion has been upgraded from a five-star Dou Zong to an eight-star Dou Zong, and there is already a hint of golden light on its body. It is estimated that after being baptized by heavenly thunder dozens more times, it will be able to evolve into a sky demon puppet.

The other Heavenly Demon Puppet was similar, its strength increased from the original four-star Dou Zong to seven-star Dou Zong.

Two hours later, the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky disappeared again, and the sun that had been blocked by the dark clouds came out to work again. The elixir in the medicine cauldron had been refined, and the rich fragrance of the elixir wafted out of the cauldron and drifted towards the square.

The people who were originally standing in the square and looking tired became energetic again after smelling the fragrance of the elixir.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, and an Imperial Pill emitting a strong elixir fragrance fell into Xiao Yan's hand.

The middle-aged man in green robe who was waiting on the side saw that his pill was ready. His mouth was drooling and he stared at the pill in Xiao Yan's hand without blinking.

“Take it and take it!” Xiao Yan threw the pill directly to the middle-aged man in green robe.
