Chapter 413 Alchemy Begins

However, they also noticed that Medusa's soul was extremely weak and she had obviously paid a lot. Looking at the sadness in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun'er and Xiao Yixian could only sigh.

Because they knew that Medusa had paid such a huge price this time that it must have left an indelible impression on Xiao Yan. It would probably be difficult to get Xiao Yan to leave Medusa, so they could only pretend to be ignorant.

In the square, the space gate was open for more than half an hour before it finally closed slowly. At this time, there were a lot more contestants in the square.

When the space gate was completely closed, the originally noisy square suddenly became quiet. At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xuan Kongzi on the platform.

Xuan Kongzi glanced at the whole audience, coughed twice, and then smiled and said, "Congratulations to all of you for standing here. You have passed the second round of screening, but I believe you all know that the third round is the most important. Because the one who can stand to the end in this final round is the ultimate winner, the champion of the Alchemy Conference."

"The high platforms in the sky are your performance stages, where I hope you can bloom the most devastating moments of your lives."

"Strive for your own glory!"

As Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, the entire square became lively again. All the contestants flew into the sky, occupied a stone platform, and prepared to refine medicine.

Because there were too many alchemists eliminated in the second round, after everyone occupied a stone platform, there were still quite a few left.

Xuan Kongzi looked at the stone platform which was one third empty, frowned slightly, and then looked at the black-clothed figure on a stone platform somewhere. Naturally, he already knew about the affairs of the Dan Realm.

The Soul Palace has really gone too far this time. If this continues, who would dare to attend the Alchemy Conference?

However, although Xuan Kongzi really wanted to kill old man Mu Gu right now, he also knew that if he killed old man Mu Gu in broad daylight, the Soul Palace would take the opportunity to cause trouble, accusing them of cheating to win.

Therefore, for the sake of Danta's reputation, Xuan Kongzi could only let the old man Mu Gu live a little longer.

“Do you really think you have me defeated? If they had started in the Dan Realm, I would have been doomed, but now…” Old Man Mu Gu naturally sensed the murderous intentions of the people in Dan Tower, but the layout of the Soul Palace was not simple. They would make a big move next. After all, the Three Thousand Flames had been locked up by Dan Tower for so long, and they wanted to destroy the Holy Dan City.

"Boom!"

A clear bell sounded, and Xuan Kongzi's eyes slowly swept across the stone platform, and then he said: "The time has come, please raise the cauldron to refine the elixir!"

"Bang bang bang!" As Xuan Kongzi's voice fell, countless low metal collision sounds rang out continuously, and countless medicine cauldrons were placed on the stone platform, which looked quite spectacular.

At this alchemy meeting, everyone gave their best, using the best of everything, including the medicine cauldron.

Xiao Yan naturally took out the medicine cauldron from his ring, but when he placed it on the stone platform, it immediately occupied most of the space on the stone platform. Xuan Kongzi looked at the huge medicine cauldron that Xiao Yan took out, and his eyes widened. He looked at Yao Chen and couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the Heart of the Earth?"

"Haha, this is something Xiao Yan got by chance." Yao Chen stroked his beard and said with a faint smile. At this moment, he should be the most excited person in the field. After all, his apprentice's participation in the assessment was more exciting than his own participation in the assessment.

Others also noticed the medicine cauldron that Xiao Yan took out. This medicine cauldron was several times larger than an ordinary medicine cauldron and looked extremely sturdy. Many alchemists who knew this medicine cauldron immediately showed envy on their faces.

Although it is said that a medicine cauldron is no longer needed when one reaches their level, this is just talk. It is certainly not needed for refining some low-level ones, but it is still very necessary for refining high-level ones.

The most feared thing in alchemy is the explosion of the cauldron. A good medicine cauldron can naturally avoid such risks. There are also fluctuations caused by refining the elixir, the thunder that is attracted, and the high-level elixir itself has very strong power. Without a good medicine cauldron, the elixir may directly smash the cauldron and run away, leaving you no time to react.

After Xiao Yan took out the medicine cauldron, he sat cross-legged on the stone platform and began to rest with his eyes closed. The most taboo thing in alchemy is to mix other emotions. What happened in the alchemy world before made Xiao Yan very emotionally unstable, which would greatly reduce the success rate of alchemy.

If one fails to refine the medicine due to carelessness, the shame would be small, but the big one would be losing the qualification to subdue the Three Thousand Flames.

Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to make the elixir. Xuan Kongzi naturally told him what happened in the alchemy world. He was really afraid that Xiao Yan would start making the elixir directly.

"Yao Chen, you have a good disciple! He has such a calm personality. He doesn't seem like a young man at all. Instead, he is more like us old men." Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but praise Xiao Yan when he saw that he was adjusting his mood.

Hearing this, Yao Chen smiled faintly. There were too many secrets about Xiao Yan, but he didn't want to explore them because it would create a gap. He just needed to know that Xiao Yan would not harm him.

Under the gaze of Xuan Kongzi, Yao Chen and a beautiful woman beside him, Xiao Yan finally stood up and his mind completely calmed down. All kinds of interference from the outside world were temporarily ignored by Xiao Yan, and the only thing in his mind was refining medicine.

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers, and herbs flew out from the ring one by one and landed on the stone platform. There were nearly a hundred kinds of herbs if they were counted carefully. Xiao Yan had started collecting these herbs before entering the Alchemy Realm, but the herbs he needed were too many, otherwise Xiao Yan would not have robbed Xiong Zhan of his herbs.

Xuan Kongzi looked at the medicinal herbs placed on Xiao Yan's stone table, then thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yao Chen again, and said with emotion: "Your apprentice is really good to you!"

Hearing this, Yao Chen felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He did not expect that Xiao Yan would not only restore his body, but now he was also going to restore his strength.

The elixir that Xiao Yan refined was none other than the Poria Green Pill. This elixir was ranked as an intermediate eighth grade elixir, and it could restore 80% of the strength of a person whose strength had deteriorated.

Yao Chen had actually been collecting medicinal materials for Fuling Qingdan, but the materials needed were too many and he had too many things to do, so he put it on hold. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan still remembered it!
Xiao Yan, who had prepared the herbs, was about to light a fire to make the elixir! However, he discovered that some of the alchemists' flames were actually facing a certain direction. Looking in that direction, he discovered a ball of black flame in the palm of old man Mu Gu.

This ball of black flame seemed to be able to devour everything, making people's minds sink into it.
