"A Heavenly Realm Soul, possessing a unique flame..."
"It seems that the assessment for an Grade 8 Alchemist won't be a problem for this Little Friend Lin Yuan..."
"Ying'er, it looks like another exceptionally talented individual is about to emerge among the younger generation of the Pill Tower..."
"However, since he was discovered by you, you could say you've rendered a service..."
At this moment, Xuan Kongzi's face was full of smiles.
Although Xiao Yi had not officially begun refining the Medicinal Pill, the strength he displayed had already far exceeded his expectations.
And there was a previous agreement: as long as Xiao Yi successfully passed the assessment, he would join the Pill Tower!
For Xuan Kongzi, being able to recruit such a talented and extremely young Alchemist was like a godsend... because Xuan Kongzi knew that for the Pill Tower to contend with the Hall of Souls, such young and talented Alchemists were absolutely not to be missed.
At this moment, Cao Ying stood respectfully behind Xuan Kongzi, her charming eyes fixed on Xiao Yi, who was using the Alias Lin Yuan, on the assessment platform... a Heavenly Realm Soul, plus a unique flame... this kind of setup could be considered extremely luxurious for any Alchemist... so at this moment, Cao Ying couldn't help but feel a bit more curious about the young man on the stage... And Song Qing, who had always admired Cao Ying, also noticed her gaze and couldn't help but take a small step forward, approaching Cao Ying and saying:
"Ying'er..."
"This kid is dressed so shabbily, he probably isn't a scion of some major Family..."
"Although his Soul is powerful and he has a unique flame, the art of Alchemy isn't solely dependent on the strength of one's Soul or a unique flame..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Ying turned and glared at Song Qing: "Senior Brother Song, he hasn't even officially started refining Medicinal Pills, and Senior Brother Song has already decided that Lin Yuan won't succeed?"
"Could it be that Senior Brother Song's judgment is stronger than Master's?"
Hearing these words, Song Qing was momentarily silenced and could only take a step back, respectfully looking at Xiao Yi on the stage... And on the high platform.
Xiao Yi stood in the center of the area, his black robe flapping in the wind.
"Begin..."
Xuan Kongzi's voice broke the silence, echoing like a grand bell throughout the area.
Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with a leisurely and content expression.
At this moment, the Fallen Heart Flame also pulsated rhythmically with Xiao Yi's breathing.
The next second, Xiao Yi was seen controlling the Fallen Heart Flame, carefully guiding it into the myriad beast cauldron.
Instantly, the myriad beast cauldron was fully activated.
A dull rumble immediately emanated from within the Pill Cauldron... Following this, Xiao Yi picked up the crucial medicinal ingredient for refining the bone-regenerating blood-melting pill from the table in front of him—the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit.
This Blood Essence Demonic Fruit was entirely blood-red, with a blood-like sheen flowing across its surface, emitting a rich aura of life.
Xiao Yi flicked it gently, and the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit slowly fell into the myriad beast cauldron.
It was instantly enveloped by the Fallen Heart Flame.
Under the high-temperature refinement, the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit began to melt rapidly, transforming into a thick red liquid, exuding a tempting medicinal fragrance.
"As expected of the Pill Tower, the quality of this Blood Essence Demonic Fruit is so high!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but exclaim at this moment, after all, such a high-quality Blood Essence Demonic Fruit would likely not be easily obtained elsewhere if not for the Pill Tower... "So far, there's nothing to fault with this child's Alchemy..."
Xuan Kongzi nodded and affirmed softly.
Among everyone present, the only one whose expression was not so good was Song Qing.
Because Song Qing keenly sensed that Cao Ying seemed to have a different feeling for this poor boy.
And Xiao Yi paid no attention to the crowd below.
Instead, he focused wholeheartedly on the refining process.
Because Xiao Yi clearly knew that the refining process of the bone-regenerating blood-melting pill was extremely complex, and every step allowed no room for error.
The next second, the Ten-Thousand-Year Green Spirit Vine and the Snow Bone Ginseng on the table slowly floated up under Xiao Yi's control.
They entered the myriad beast cauldron one by one... The Fallen Heart Flame instantly enveloped them, beginning the refinement process.
As the medicinal ingredients continuously fused, the medicinal power within the Pill Cauldron gradually condensed.
However, Xiao Yi found that the Fusion between the medicinal ingredients was not smooth; there seemed to be an invisible force hindering them.
"Is he stumped at this step already..."
Below the stage, Xuan Kongzi, who was constantly observing the situation on stage, murmured softly.
And on the stage, Xiao Yi frowned deeply.
Because he knew this was the critical Bottleneck in refining the bone-regenerating blood-melting pill.
If he couldn't Breakthrough this Bottleneck, the only outcome would be a Pill explosion, refining failure, and the direct waste of these three precious medicinal ingredients... Xiao Yi thought for a moment and decided not to continue hiding.
Xiao Yi suddenly stretched out his left hand, and within his palm, the light blue Sea Heart Flame slowly emerged.
Upon seeing that other deep blue flame, everyone present abruptly stood up.
"This is a second unique flame? The Sea Heart Flame?"
Xuan Kongzi's eyes were filled with surprise!
One must know that unique flames are the rarest and most precious things between heaven and earth!
Countless Alchemists spend their entire lives pursuing unique flames, only to end up with nothing... For example, he himself, Xuan Kongzi, one of the Dan Ta Three Giants, does not possess a unique flame even now... Although the Three Thousand Burning Flame is suppressed within the Pill Tower Star Domain, that unique flame is exceptionally powerful, and even Xuan Kongzi doesn't have the confidence to subdue it... After all, the process of subduing a unique flame is extremely perilous; a slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation... Yet, this Little Fellow in front of him actually possesses two unique flames.
Such Opportunity, Luck, and the courage to subdue a unique flame are completely beyond what ordinary people can envy... And when Cao Ying saw Xiao Yi display a second unique flame, her previously extremely composed face couldn't help but show a slight change in color!
As an Alchemist, Cao Ying naturally knew how much unique flames helped Alchemists!
They could not only increase the success rate of Alchemy but also improve the quality of Medicinal Pills, and even enhance the Alchemist's own combat power!
One unique flame was already enough to make people envious, but two unique flames, that was simply incredible... And Song Qing, behind Cao Ying, seeing this, also instantly widened his eyes in shock, speechless... As soon as the Sea Heart Flame appeared, it resonated with the Fallen Heart Flame; the two unique flames intertwined in the air, emitting an even more powerful aura. Xiao Yi controlled the Sea Heart Flame, slowly integrating it into the Pill Cauldron, refining the medicinal ingredients together with the Fallen Heart Flame.
Although Xiao Yi's Alchemy had not been constantly with Old Ya, he was, after all, Old Ya's introductory teacher for Alchemy... So no matter what, when Xiao Yi refined Medicinal Pills, his mastery of flames always had some of Old Ya's shadow... So when he saw the young man on stage controlling two unique flames to refine medicinal ingredients...
Xuan Yi also couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Alas..."
"Perhaps it's truly been a long time..."
"I actually see a bit of an old acquaintance's shadow in this child..."
