Thus, Xing Jue did not care about Elder Li's persuasion at all. He pretended to be calm and said,
"Master Alchemist, are you serious?"
"I always mean what I say. I never go back on my words!"
"Very well, Xing Jue thanks Master Alchemist for his reward!"
Xing Jue let out a laugh. With a thought, the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire, which had been silent for a long time, began to squirm.
Then, a majestic flame shot up into the sky like an erupting volcano and filled the entire hall. In the blink of an eye, it turned into seven fiery dragons that hovered in mid-air.
The seven fiery dragons each had a different color. While they were emitting a blinding light, they were also emitting a terrifying heat.
At this moment, the hundreds of flames in the hall lost their color. Only the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire hovered above the hall, as if they were the king of the place.
"This …"
This scene caused the faces of Lord Alchemist, Elder Li, and Lv Yuan to be filled with shock. The three of them stared at the scene with their mouths agape. Their lifeless eyes flickered uncontrollably, as if they did not dare to believe all of this.
"Buzz"
Sensing that something was wrong, Master Alchemist hurriedly used his soul to calm the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire so that it would not be controlled by Xing Jue.
However, the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire, which had already submitted to Xing Jue, did not care about anyone else. No matter how Master Alchemist tried to summon it, it did not budge.
"Primordial Seven Dragons Fire, come to my cauldron. I will use it from now on." Xing Jue stood on the spot and yelled.
"ROAR"
As soon as Xing Jue finished his sentence, the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire reacted as if it understood Xing Jue's words. It let out a dragon-like roar and turned into seven tiny flames that entered Xing Jue's cauldron.
At this moment, Master Alchemist finally understood the meaning behind Xing Jue's words. He suddenly realized that he had been f * cking tricked.
It was obvious that Xing Jue had already received the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire's approval, which was why he dared to oppose him.
Yet, he had actually allowed the execution to take place. He had given the treasure to someone else just like that.
At this moment, the alchemist's intestines had already turned green with regret. In fact, he even felt like dying.
However, Xing Jue completely ignored the alchemist, whose face was greener than a cucumber, and the dumbfounded Lv Yuan.
At this moment, Xing Jue was looking at the Nine Continent Pill Cauldron and the rising Seven Dragons True Fire. Xing Jue felt extremely comfortable.
Originally, he only wanted to borrow the fire, but he didn't expect to obtain such a powerful flame.
Xing Jue believed that as long as he had the Seven Dragons True Fire, there was nothing he could not refine in the future.
In this way, before he had enough strength, he could not have any ideas about Hellfire. Because the more he thought about it, the more Xing Jue felt that Hellfire was not simple.
Most importantly, the Reincarnation Hell's summoning was extremely powerful. If he had to make a comparison, the feeling of that mysterious summoning was even more terrifying than that of a half-step Divine Tool.
Xing Jue sealed the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire within the Nine Continent Pill Cauldron and then stored it in the Soul Devouring Order.
"Many thanks, Lord Alchemist!" Then, Xing Jue's face was filled with gratitude as he bowed to the ashen faced alchemist whose mouth was twitching.
Xing Jue's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. It was all thanks to this alchemist that he was able to obtain such an unexpected reward.
However, the one who was the most speechless right now was Elder Li. Although he was shocked that Xing Jue had been able to collect the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire, he admired Xing Jue's courage even more.
As a mere beginner disciple, Xing Jue was definitely the first person in history to dare to treat the alchemy department's manager in such a manner.
"Lord Alchemist, I've really troubled you this time!" Knowing that the alchemist was not in a good mood, Elder Li hurriedly bid farewell and wanted to leave with Xing Jue.
"Wait."
However, just as the two of them were about to leave, the alchemist suddenly spoke and blocked their path.
"Lord Alchemist, is there something else?" Seeing this, Elder Li pretended to be confused and asked.
However, at this moment, the alchemist did not even look at Elder Li. Instead, he stared straight at Xing Jue and coldly said:
"Xing Jue, the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire is the treasure of my alchemy department."
"Although I do not know what method you used to gain the recognition of the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire, if you do not have exquisite alchemy skills, it is the same as wasting the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire."
"Therefore, it is not that I am going back on my word and not letting you take the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire."
"I can let you take the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire, but you must prove that you have the qualifications to be its master!"
Xing Jue and Elder Li were not surprised by the alchemist's sudden change of heart. Xing Jue smiled slightly and asked calmly:
"May I ask, Lord Alchemist, what does it take to have the qualifications to own the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire?"
"As the user of the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire, Lv Yuan already has the qualifications to use the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire. However, he still does not have the qualifications to own the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire."
"However, if you are able to surpass Lv Yuan in alchemy, I will make an exception and allow you to take the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire!"
How could the alchemist be willing to let Xing Jue take away the treasure of the alchemy department? Therefore, he gave Xing Jue such a difficult problem.
In his opinion, Lv Yuan's alchemy skills definitely surpassed Xing Jue's. Therefore, as long as Xing Jue agreed, the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire would remain in the alchemy department. In fact, if Xing Jue did not agree, he would not allow Xing Jue to take the Primordial Seven Dragons True Fire.
"This … Alchemist Lord, Lv Yuan is the successor you personally selected. He is the top alchemist of the younger generation in the Sacred Alliance."
"Isn't it a bit unfair for you to let Xing Jue compete with him in alchemy? Furthermore, you were the one who said it …" At this moment, Elder Li, who had been silent for a long time, finally could not stand it anymore.
"Elder Li, this is the alchemy department. I have the final say here. Don't think that you can order us around just because you have the Punishment Order. If you have any dissatisfaction, call that old fellow over and have him discuss it with me. As for you, you are not qualified to do so!"
However, before Elder Li could finish speaking, the alchemist's attitude turned completely dark. It was obvious that he was really angry.
"You …"
Facing the overbearing alchemist, Elder Li's expression also turned gloomy. At this moment, he really wanted to invite the Punishment Order over.
That was because the Punishment Order's status in the Sacred Alliance was definitely not something that this old fellow could compare to. He had enough of this old fellow's arrogance and really wanted to invite the Punishment Order over to suppress this old thing.
"Elder Li, in order to prove myself, I am willing to have a spar with Senior Brother Lv Yuan in the art of alchemy. However, I wonder what the rules of this spar are?" Right at this moment, Xing Jue spoke first.
When he saw that Xing Jue had actually agreed to this unfair alchemy competition. To actually agree to this unfair alchemy competition, Elder Li, who was a spectator, could only stand by the side and not say anything.
"It's very simple. Use a seventh-grade immortal herb as a catalyst and refine a seventh-grade body-refining essence."
"Compete in speed, quantity, and quality."
"Whoever can refine the seventh-grade immortal herb faster and refine the seventh-grade body-refining essence faster will naturally win!" The alchemist Lord said decisively.
"Alright, we'll do as you say!"
Clang.
Xing Jue waved his sleeve and the Nine Continent Celestial Cauldron once again landed in the hall. With a thought, the seal on the Primordial Seven Dragons Fire was removed, and the seven fire dragons once again dashed out.
At the same time, Lv Yuan also moved the single cauldron to the hall and guided a special type of flame in the hall. After the alchemist Lord gave the order, the two of them began to compete in alchemy.
"Huff, huff, huff ~"
Two single cauldrons, two flames, two immortal herbs, and two people.
There was no prescription, only exquisite techniques. However, the moment Xing Jue made his move, the alchemist Lord could no longer maintain his composure.
"How can this be? How can this kid be so proficient in alchemy?"
Looking at the fluid movements of the executioner, as well as the perfect coordination with the flames, the Alchemist Lord was shocked.
He never expected that Xing Jue would really have such a profound alchemy technique. This level had already surpassed an ordinary seventh-grade alchemist.
"Incredible, incredible. This kid will definitely become a top talent of the Sanctuary Alliance in the future."
"Who knows, he might be able to break the awkward situation of not having a single Saint-ranked disciple in the Western Branch Prefecture for the past ten thousand years!" However, compared to the alchemist Lord's pure shock, Elder Li could only be described as absolute shock.
After reaching a certain realm, one would have to choose one of the three cultivation methods — Alchemy Art, Cultivation Base, and Smithing Art.
Those with talent in cultivation would focus on cultivation, those with talent in alchemy would focus on refining medicine, and those with talent in smithing would delve into the art of smithing.
This was because only by putting all of one's energy into one aspect would one be able to gain a foothold in the vast Sanctuary.
However, the Xing Jue in front of him not only had shocking talent in cultivation, but his battle prowess was also two levels higher. Even his alchemy skills were extraordinary. This was simply unimaginable.
"Could it be that this fellow is some old monster that's hiding his true age? How can he be so proficient in alchemy? "
"No, if he was an old monster, he wouldn't be able to escape master's soul detection. Could there really be such a genius in this world?"
At this moment, Lv Yuan was drenched in sweat. In terms of refining seventh rank immortal herbs and extracting their essence, he was clearly inferior to Xing Jue.
This made him feel that Xing Jue wasn't someone from the younger generation, but an old monster that had lived for hundreds of years.
However, he quickly rejected this thought. He could tell from the shocked gazes of his master and Elder Li that Xing Jue was indeed a genius.
"No, I can't lose. Otherwise, not only will my reputation be tarnished, my master will also be unable to raise his head."
"Alchemy is a competition of the soul. Your cultivation base is so high, but your soul is definitely inferior to mine. For the sake of master's reputation, don't blame me!"
At this crucial moment, a vicious light suddenly appeared in Lv Yuan's eyes. A despicable idea had already formed in his heart.
With a thought, a few invisible strands of his soul stealthily seeped out of his body, wanting to disturb Xing Jue.
Although Lv Yuan's pure soul was unable to attack Xing Jue, whose cultivation base was far above his, with his knowledge of alchemy, he had the means to disturb Xing Jue's refinement.
