Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 62: Refining the Longevity Pill

The platform was more than ten meters away from the square below, and there were more than a dozen chairs on it. Fa Ma and Gu He were already sitting on them. Yao Ye and Nalan Yanran did not sit down, but stood there straight, looking directly at the position where Xiao Yan and the other two were.

"This medicine cauldron is pretty good! It's at least at the third grade or above." Xiao Yan found a stone platform, looked at the medicine cauldron on it, and couldn't help but say to himself.

"Hehe, this is where the fifth-grade alchemists are assessed! Sooner or later, I will be able to become a fifth-grade alchemist and actually come here for the assessment." Princess Yaoyue said with a smile.

Although Yaoyue was happy, Liu Ling beside him had a gloomy face.

"Hmph! Although you have a high talent for alchemy, you are only a second-grade alchemist after all, while I can refine third-grade pills. Just wait! I must let everyone know that I am better than you!" Liu Ling held a folding fan in her hand and swept a cold gaze towards Xiao Yan.

Seeing Liu Ling staring at him like a venomous snake, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, "Liu Ling's talent in both cultivation and alchemy is good, but his desire for control and possession is too strong, and he is too jealous! I guess Nalan Yanran has also seen this, so she only treats him as a friend!"

"A dog licks a dog, but in the end he ends up with nothing!" Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, hoping that this boring trick would end quickly.

"Since you are all ready, let's start!" Fa Ma stood up and walked to the front of the stage and chuckled.

Although Fa Ma's voice was not loud, it could be heard directly by Xiao Yan and the other two.

"What a strong soul control ability!" Xiao Yan exclaimed in his heart.

In the center of the bluestone square of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan, Liu Ling and Princess Yaoyue each occupied a bluestone platform, on which was placed a medicine cauldron and the medicinal materials needed to refine pills.

After the game started, the little princess Yaoyue stretched out her fair jade hand, and a ball of azure flame instantly rose from the palm of her hand. Ripples like water waves appeared around the flame, which looked extremely extraordinary.

"She actually used the beast fire. It seems that Princess Yaoyue also wants to get those prizes! But to be able to subdue the beast fire, her strength must be extraordinary!" Xiao Yan sighed in his heart.

Although beast fire is much weaker than strange fire, it is much stronger than ordinary flames. Beast fire can also increase the success rate of refining medicine. Otherwise, relying on the current strength of the three fighters, it is still difficult to refine high-level pills. Liu Ling and Yao Yue can reach the second-grade alchemist so early, which is purely due to the huge amount of medicinal materials. Ordinary alchemists can only reach the level of fighters to reach the second-grade alchemist. Otherwise, the terrible failure rate can make a family bankrupt.

The first three ranks of the alchemist mainly test the alchemy skills and flame control skills. The soul perception is not that high. It is enough to reach the realm of fighter. Even if the fighting spirit is not enough, there are still Qi-recovering pills, right? In the original novel, didn't Xiao Yan eat a lot of Qi-recovering pills in the early stage because of the practice?
"This flame... could it be the blue water flame of the Jingtao Dragon Beast?" On the high platform, looking at the beast fire summoned by the little princess Yaoyue, Fa Ma turned his head to look at Yao Ye who was standing behind him.

When Yao Ye saw Fa Ma looking at him, he just smiled and didn't say much.

Seeing that Yao Ye refused to say anything, Fa Ma naturally stopped asking questions. After all, this involved the secrets of the royal family.

"Little Princess Yaoyue already possesses the beast fire, so the fire of your apprentice Liu Ling cannot be an ordinary fire!" Fa Ma said to Gu He.

"Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of President Fa Ma. Some time ago, I invited many strong men to help me hunt a fifth-level magic beast and obtain a kind of beast fire from its body." Gu He said with a smile. Although he offered a lot of benefits to ask people to subdue the beast fire, his apprentice Liu Ling also suffered a lot before successfully subduing it.

Not long after Gu He finished speaking, a ball of brown flame appeared in the palm of Liu Ling's right hand below the stage.

After Liu Ling summoned the beast fire, she looked in Xiao Yan's direction as if provoking him. The people on the platform also looked at Xiao Yan, wanting to see what kind of fire Xiao Yan could summon.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, stretched out his right hand to touch the medicine cauldron, injected Dou Qi into the cauldron, and a ball of light yellow flame began to appear in the cauldron.

Seeing the flames in Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron, Liu Ling and Yao Yue used their soul perception to investigate and found that the flames in Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron were just ordinary flames. Liu Ling said contemptuously: "It's just ordinary flames! It seems that the previous pills were probably not made by him. If he can make so many second-grade pills with ordinary flames, we are not worthy of being called alchemists."

Yaoyue was puzzled when she saw Xiao Yan only summoned ordinary flames. Logically speaking, with Xiao Yan's status and position, he should not be without beast fire! Although beast fire is rare, it is nothing to them.

Xiao Yan naturally heard Liu Ling's contemptuous words, but what else could he use if not ordinary fire? Could he use strange fire?

Even Gu He is very interested in the Strange Fire, and the Nalan Family also needs the Strange Fire very much. Once Xiao Yan uses it, he will be in trouble in the future.

"Could it be that he used this ordinary flame to refine those magical pills?" Gu He asked Fa Ma with a little confusion.

"Haha, probably!" Fa Ma replied with a smile.

When Gu He heard Fa Ma's somewhat ambiguous answer, he chuckled twice and shifted his gaze to the three people in the audience again.

After the flame was lit, three of them each picked up a herb from the stone platform, put it into the medicine cauldron, and began to refine it.

Because Liu Ling and Princess Yaoyue were using beast fire, the speed was naturally much faster. In a short while, most of the medicinal materials on the stone platform had been refined.

Xiao Yan’s efficiency in refining medicinal herbs was naturally not as good as Liu Ling and Yao Yue’s. In addition, the medicinal herbs on the stone platform were much more than theirs, so he lagged behind by a lot.

In her spare time, Liu Ling glanced at Xiao Yan's stone platform. Seeing that Xiao Yan had only extracted one third of the medicinal materials, a look of disdain immediately appeared on her face.

"The elixir refined by little Princess Yaoyue should be a third-grade elixir, the Spirit-Nourishing Pill. If taken when breaking through to the Fighting Master level, it can greatly increase the success rate! It seems that the little princess is also hiding her abilities!" Fa Ma said to Qiemir who was sitting on the left.

"Haha, this little girl is just messing around. Although the success rate can be slightly improved with the help of beast fire, there is only a one-third chance that she can succeed!" Although Qiemi was scolding Princess Yaoyue on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.

"The Fire Element Pill refined by your apprentice Liu Ling is also a third-grade pill. It can enhance the power of fire-attributed skills by 30% in a short period of time. It is also a very good medicine for breaking through the realm. It seems that he has hidden his strength!" Fa Ma looked at the pill refined by Liu Ling and said to Gu He with a smile.

"That was just the kid's fault!" Gu He also criticized Liu Ling, but the pride and smugness in his tone could not be concealed. Gu He naturally knew how good Liu Ling's medicine refining skills were. Now Liu Ling had barely become a third-grade alchemist. Although the success rate of refining third-grade pills was not high, with the addition of beast fire, there was a high probability that it could be refined.

"The elixir refined by Brother Nie Feng seems to be much more complicated than the other two. You can tell just by looking at the medicinal ingredients. But I've been observing for a long time, and I still can't figure out what kind of elixir he is refining." Gu He turned and said to Fa Ma.

"I didn't recognize what kind of elixir he was refining, but judging from the medicinal properties of the ingredients, it seems to be an elixir that can increase lifespan." Fa Ma said lightly.

"Can it increase lifespan? Pills that can increase lifespan are extremely rare. It must be at least a third-grade pill. It seems that the winner is Brother Nie Feng." Qi Mier said in shock.

"I'm just guessing. The pills that can increase lifespan are very complicated to refine. How can a little guy like him make them? It seems that my recipe is wasted." Fa Ma shook his head helplessly.

"Don't be discouraged! Although the possibility is small, it is not impossible. What if a miracle happens?" Qi Mier said to comfort him. However, although he comforted her, he didn't think Xiao Yan could refine it. After all, he had never heard of that kind of elixir that was lower than the fourth grade. If Xiao Yan could refine it, it would be too scary.
